“OMG, there can be no better care giver for my Lola than Jaclyn. Lola was gleeful to see us and from a previous experience I could see that Lola was her gleeful self when she saw Jaclyn. I had not left Lola before for such a long span of time so I was traveling with heavy heart. There was no need for my concerns as Jaclyn was worth all five stars If here were 10 stars she would score all ten. I will certainly book with her again Thank you, VRP”
“Lauren was great! I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl with her. Abernathy was well taken care of and loved on. I could not be more happy with our experience with Lauren.”
About: I have taken care of my families dog since we got him my sophomore year of high school. I also have taken care of my cousins dog and friends’ dogs when they have been out of town on weekends or for multiple days. I have cared for pets young and old and absolutely love caring for all animals. I have also have lived with a cat my entire college life and have cared for them when my roommates have been out of town. I am a full time graduate student and just have class 3 days a week in the mornings. I have a lot of extra free time on my hands that I have currently been filling by reading or walking/running in my neighborhood. I would love the opportunity to spend my extra time caring for the pets you love. I live in a very safe neighborhood where I love to take walks and would love to walk with your fur babies too. I would also play with your pets and make sure they feel loved and cared for.
“Rae was fantastic with my fur family! I have a high anxiety dog and he dealt with my absence very well with Rae's patience and attention. Even my extra shy kitty came out to say hello. I got lots of videos and my mind was at ease while on vacation. I highly recommend!”

“Leah was super great!! I give a full star rating. She was wonderful with the dogs and was very easy to work with. She was flexible when we got stuck out of town with late spring snowstorm. She cleaned around the house before she left.”

About: I've had pets since I can remember. Dogs, cats, a few farm animals. My dog passed recently and I dont feel ready to get a new pet yet. There's a hole though and I thought helping with the communities pets would help. I'm always the person at parties playing with the pets. I'm lucky that I work from home so I have the time to give someone else's pets all the love they could want. I work from home. Don't have kids. Life is flexible. I do travel for work sometimes but I wouldnt schedule anything during those weeks. I do mutual aid but its never an hour or two at a time. I have a fenced in backyard. I live close to a park. I walk a lot. Furniture is dog friendly. They would have lots of attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - The Buttes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 83 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across The Buttes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred The Buttes walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in The Buttes maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in The Buttes choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
