“Kristal took great care of our two dogs, a senior dog and a five year old vocal velcro dog, and of our home while we were away. She accepted the booking on extremely short notice and was very accommodating in scheduling a meet and greet within one day of us reaching out to her. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. I would definitely recommend Kristal to any pet parent.”
“Aiyanna has been so so helpful with our dog, Phoebe! Not only is she great with her (and all of her quirks), but she is always willing to go the extra mile to support us and make sure we feel comfortable when we are away from her. Would recommend Aiyanna if you are looking for someone who is communicative, accommodating, flexible, and eager to make your pet happy!”
“Sereniti took care of my brood for two weeks while I was on vacation. They absolutely love her and so do I! She sends pictures, she lets me know what's going on. I was very secure in the knowledge that they were well taken care of by someone who loves them 😊 i would absolutely recommend Sereniti!! She is amazing 😊”
“Sanai was an absolute delight! She is incredibly respectful, clean, and kind, and took exceptional care of our three-month-old puppy, Obi. My husband and I highly recommend her and fully trust her to care for our fur baby in the future.”
About: I grew up with many pets. For example, I’ve had 6 birds, 3 hamsters, 1 dwarf gerbil, 1 leopard gecko, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and possibly more. I currently have 2 dogs. Both are rescues. Jasper is 2 years old and I’ve had him since he was about a month old if even that, and Raleigh who is 7 now. I’ve had her since she was 2. Aside from the doggy babies, I also currently have a brown anole that I took in from Florida. His name is Tommy and I’ve had him for 4 months now. He was a baby when I found him. I also have 2 fish, Gumball and Penny. I personally believe all animals are babies. I’ve also pet sit for family members before. I’m currently working part time and I am also a freshman in College. I do have a good bit of free time, and because I don’t live alone I have people home to help take care of my furry and scaled friends, where as some people may need some extra help that I’d be able to provide! I was raised right. I’m respectful, do not cross boundaries, and know better than to disrespect clients (human and animal, of course!) I’m a big empath, I love animals beyond comprehension. I’m a vegetarian that’s working my way to veganism if that can show you how empathetic I am. I also cry while watching Ratatouille. I love walking, I love talking to animals, I treat animals as if they are literal babies because they are just too cute!
“Anna and Carlos are wonderful! They are very kind and take great care of our boys, Beau and Vinnie. We are able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our boys are well cared for and loved by Anna and Carlos. We are thankful for their devoted care!”
“Monica took great care of our 10 month old Staffordshire Terrier, Storm while we were away on vacation. We had initially booked for sitting but ended up going with boarding. Monica sent photos and pics daily and reassured us that Storm was doing well, getting exercise and feeling comfortable. I would highly recommend her for all of services offered.”
“Xavier was fantastic. He communicated well, confirming details, asking questions and giving updates throughout his stay. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was well cared for. Would hire again in a heartbeat.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was in middle school. I first had hermit crabs, then parakeets, and in April 2022 I got my first dog named Luna. I had her since she was about 2 months old so I have a lot of experience with puppies who are going through potty training etc. Luna is fully grown and is about 5lbs. She is a ball of energy and will definitely give your pup a run for their money! I also have another mini poodle named Zeus. Ive had him since about 3 months and he is about 12 lbs. Zeus is very friendly and loving. My aunt also had plenty of dogs and she has relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe her pets! I am definitely reliable when it comes to leaving your dog with me and I will make sure to provide updates throughout the day or night of your fur baby. I’m currently working full time during the week but I will have plenty of time to play with your pups on the weekends! I am available for boarding, house sitting, day care, dog walking, or drop in visits. I live in a house with 2 mini poodles. Luna and Zeus both have a lot of energy and are very friendly dogs. They will play with your dog all day long if they could. While in the house, I can let the fur babies play and entertain each other or crate my dogs to give your fur baby some space. I allow dogs on the furniture so they are free to roam and figure out their new surroundings. If I house sit, I am efficient with checking in on your fur baby, making sure they are okay, and love giving walks. I can stop by for as long as you need on the weekends. Your fur baby will be well taken care of around me!
About: Ive been a primary caretaker for all dogs in my family since i can remember, and growing up with all sizes of dogs from a shih tzu to a lab! Ive dealt with multiple dogs in one sitting while living with 4-8 dogs at once. Im currently a owner of two cats male & female and watched them grow for the last 4 years which has been a enjoyable sight. I look forward to your companion, and reassuring you they will have good care! Im currently a college student who has time majority of day to provide petcare. Im also able to be as flexible as need be for the given situation. In my house, my partner cj and i have a very loving and affectionate atmosphere. With a senior yorkie mix along with two cats in our home we have all your fur baby may want and need: toy galore, bottomless treats, and plenty of attention/ affection to provide in between classes! Whether your pet is staying in our home, yours, or even for a small walk we aim to provide the best care just like they are our own furry loved ones.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need consistency and extra attention to senior dogs who require a gentler approach, medication administration, and specialized care. I am attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, and behavioral cues to ensure each pet receives individualized care. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give pet parents peace of mind. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, cuddle sessions, or maintaining a pet’s daily routine, I am committed to treating every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I prioritize walks, feeding, playtime, and updates, ensuring every pet receives consistent, loving, and dependable care each day. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I provide a safe, loving environment and regular updates to owners.
“Lindsey is amazing and was a life saver for our entire family! Our dog does not do well out of her element and we had to go away for 4 days. Lindsey, sent pics, videos, cute messages, and reassuring notes for us that made us feel at ease. And, most importantly, Hershee was happy!”
“I booked Michaela for the weekend to housesit and stay with my dog. My dog can be reactive with other dogs, so I’m always nervous to leave her with new people. She did great with Michaela! Additionally, my flight back got canceled, and Michaela stayed overnight again and then my second flight got very delayed and Michaela was very nice to extend her stay and stay with my dog a little longer. Ensure she had gone potty and been fed before I got home since I was getting home very late. Additionally, the house was very organized and clean. I will definitely be booking Michaela again!!”
About: I've taken care of pups since my daughter brought home our first baby, Cookie. We trained her to give her paw, sit, lay, and to kiss at "kiss" command. It's the cutest thing ever. She has been the Queen of the house ever since and then came along, Cinamon which is Cookie's daughter. They are best friends! Cookie had pups a while ago and we held her paw during birth and cared for her babies until they left us to our family members. Cookie is now considered a Senior but I always find ways to accommodate her needs so she can keep being the queen! We take constant walks around our neighborhood and also hang out in the big backyard. I'm currently not working; therefore, I have plenty of times to board and do drop in visits. I leave out occasionally to do grocery shopping, doctor appointments, and/or church services. I do not have a fenced yard but we do have secured long leashes to the soil which makes them feel like they are freely roaming around. We prefer to crate overnight but if your pup cannot do training for special reasons, we can accommodate. We currently have two small pups, a Yorkie and her daughter. They can be timid at first and will bark until they come down and get over the first couple minutes. We can put our babies away in separate rooms if needed be.
“Ada was amazing!! This was my first time using the App and she made me feel so comfortable. She agreed to a meet and greet prior to my house sitting dates and my dogs loved her instantly. She was very communicative and kept me informed on everything. As this was my first time leaving my babies with anyone outside of family, we were all a bit nervous and hoping this was a good match. My mom even checked in with Ada and she was totally cool with. My mom and dog both have dogs and we are pretty certain Ada has 3 new clients. Ada maintained my home wonderfully. She really was patient with and understanding and I would recommend her 10/10, especially for new clients.”
“Ashley has done a drop-in for our two senior pups in the past. This time we left her with our puppy while we took the seniors on a weekend getaway. She sent regular photo/text updates. He was happy, and everything was chill when we got home. Ashley is great, and will absolutely show your fur-kid a lot of TLC while leaving your house in perfect order.”
“Anh was wonderful with our dog Wilbur- she sent us updates and was really sweet to him. She stayed over at our place which we appreciated because our pup can get a little anxious. Anh left us a very nice note and left the house very clean. We will definitely be reaching out to Anh again until the future for dog care!!”
About: I’m a vet assistant looking to learn and explore with other animals. I have experience with cats,dogs and reptiles. I am comfortable with all ages and sizes. I am full time but I do have set hours, as well as receive my work schedule a month ahead. I am also free on the weekends to come and house sit your fur babies! I am comfortable with medicating pets if needed, as well as crating. I also will follow all instructions given to me to Intrust your pets well being.

Steve has been sitting for us for over 5 years and I cannot say enough great things about him. The most recent stay was a very last minute request for help watching our dog and Steve quickly responded and made his schedule work to take care of her. We arrived home to find her in good spirits and the house taken care of. Thank you Steve!!
Kristal took great care of our two dogs, a senior dog and a five year old vocal velcro dog, and of our home while we were away. She accepted the booking on extremely short notice and was very accommodating in scheduling a meet and greet within one day of us reaching out to her. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. I would definitely recommend Kristal to any pet parent.
Jasmine was amazing! I have an anxious pup who is dog reactive and she took care of him so well. She's very communicative, sharesphotos regularly, provides updates everyday unprompted, and reaches out when she has any concerns. She also left my place just as clean as I left it for her. Will definitely work with her again!
Sereniti took care of my brood for two weeks while I was on vacation. They absolutely love her and so do I! She sends pictures, she lets me know what's going on. I was very secure in the knowledge that they were well taken care of by someone who loves them 😊 i would absolutely recommend Sereniti!! She is amazing 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 9,310 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Thrift. 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 Thrift 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 Thrift 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 Thrift 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thrift. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
