“Korah is amazing! This was the first time my husband and I had left our Service Dogs with someone who is not family. Every time we checked in, it made our jitters disappear knowing they were loved and getting everything they needed.”
“Very friendly and super responsive. Sends an update at with pictures at the end of the day about how well the dogs did. Let me know right away if ran into any issues or questions. I would definitely rebook with her again! 😊”
“Janet was very accommodating, easy going, and punctual. Our dog (Taro) opened up to her very quickly. My wife and I felt like Taro was in great hands while we were away for a few days. Highly recommend Janet.”
“Kessia is great! She is very prompt to respond and updated us with pictures. Clearly our animals loved her as they were always right next to if not sitting on her! Had her do a one night stay and will have her back when we go on vacation!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for my friends for many years, as well as having dogs for most of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages. I have experience in medication dispensing. Senior care experience. I work from my home so I am available to give meals and potty breaks continuously throughout the day. I have a very flexible schedule. For drop in visiting and walks, I am available Monday to Thursday 1pm to 7pm. Friday after 5pm. Saturday and Sunday 24 hour availability. My back yard is fenced in.I will not sit pitbulls or other aggressive breeds. On days where the temp is hot, I will take dogs out once an hour for just 10 minutes to avoid heat related illness. Also on hot days, water bowls will be in each room that a dog chooses to be in. During the winter I have pee pads outside for the comfort and safety of a dog's feet.
“Taryn house sat for five days while I was on an island with no cell service. She handled everything well, administered his medications, and managed his separation anxiety. And, the house was left in great order. I would definitely use her as a house sitter again.”

I work full time during the week but am available for any of your pet sitting needs for those last minute weekend get always or even just a day out! Preference to pet sit in the owners home as this is the environment your animal is used to, I hope to bring a comforting energy for your pet, whether that means taking them for a long walk or a quick potty break!
“Paola took such great care of Nala! I also really appreciated that she helped extra by offering to still help with my pup even if she went in heat which happened on the last day of her sit. Very unexpected but Paola was still a trooper on short notice. This is our second time booking with her and will definitely book again! Thanks Paola you are a rockstar!”
About: I have extensive experience and genuine passion for animals. Over the years, I have fostered multiple dogs, dealing with a wide variety of behaviors, breeds, and ages. This hands-on experience has equipped me with the skills to handle any situation and understand the unique needs of each dog. Additionally, I have been dog sitting for family friends and am now excited to expand my services to help others. My love for animals drives me to provide a safe and enjoyable space for your pets, ensuring they have fun and feel secure while you are away. I always love to update owners with pictures of how their furry friends are doing! I seamlessly fit pet care into my weekly routine thanks to my remote work flexibility. This setup allows me to tend to animals whenever needed, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve throughout the day.

Our home features a big yard perfect for playing and exploring, ensuring your pet has plenty of space to roam. I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment where animals can thrive while their loved ones are away.
“Victoria house sat for my 2 chihuahua's for 5 days, she kept me updated with pictures and videos while I was gone and my house was just as clean when I came back as I left it. Will definitely call her again for sitting!”
“Wyatt and Kamertn were great with my wild pup! They truly have a passion for providing the best possible care for our animals. They were great at communicating and sent frequent updates. I highly recommend booking with them!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience, compassion, and attention to each pet’s individual needs. I have over 15 years of experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. As a nurse, I’m also comfortable being attentive to changes in behavior and following detailed care instructions. I have experience caring for diabetic cats, special diets, and pets who need extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a flexible work schedule and enjoy getting to spend time with animals in my free time! I make sure each animal gets the attention and time they deserve. I provide in-home pet care by visiting clients’ homes and caring for their pets in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m comfortable following specific feeding instructions and caring for pets with special diets or additional needs. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own!
About: They say to do what you love and make a career out of it. I’m just grateful my career gets to be with dogs. I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility in the area, so I am certified with dog and cat behaviors and have seen the ups and downs of our fur babies, and I am still standing here happy to tell you all about their stay/session. I have also grown up with working farm dogs and have gone on to own a Great Pyrenees who isn’t quite a working dog but sure does “work” like one. Thank you for reading through my short history and I am super excited to update this with my accomplishments to come! Pet care for me starts at dawn lol My pups come for cuddles and a potty break first sight of my eyes opening. Most of the time this does align with my schedule in the 6 am timeframe. Our family does always thankfully have one person home at all times, so while kennels are still utilized in our home for various situations, your pups can expect to stay in a home environment while here :) While I personally do not have a yard, my family does own large pasture fields and hills that we will typically walk daily. These colder seasons do affect how often we go out due to the snow and unplowed hills. However in that safe weather we make it a main priority to keep active with our pups to maintain a healthy and long life for them. Safety is priority number one. Thankfully my family is pretty much set up for success here. We are knowledgeable for food, behavior, and play safety with dogs and cats. Signs and symptoms of common issues with dogs and cats, based off personal experiences, and possible fears of what ifs, urinary cat blockages and bloat, or bloody stools. And while I understand dog body language and know how to avoid those tense situations dogs can create, I am incredibly quick to say when we are going to the emergency vet, gosh forbid.
“just got home and dogs are happy and house looks great. got photos and notes while we were gone. Ellen met us before we left and she was very sweet. good match for our sweet dogs. Highly recommend Ellen.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 131 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tilden. 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 Tilden 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 Tilden 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 Tilden 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.

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.
