“Lindsey was super communicative and shared great updates of our pups while we were gone. They also were very willing to do a pre-book meet and greet to make sure everyone got along. They left the house in clean order and took care of the weekly trash pick up as requested. We'll definitely be booking them again!”
“River is the best! She took exceptional care of our 80-pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever for two weeks and truly went above and beyond by keeping our hummingbird feeders filled while we were away. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy dog. Her communication was excellent throughout—always quick, responsive, and reassuring. We highly recommend River and hope to have her care for our dog again soon!”
“Aidan is amazing! Our 2 dogs and 1 cat had a blast (tons of pics). Not only did our pets take to him right away, but he was great about giving our older boy the meds he needs during the day! He kept our house incredibly clean and communicated with us the entire time. We hope he will help us out again in the future. Aiden, if you’re reading this, we want you to come back!”
“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”
“Myrna house sat and watched our dog and cat for 5 days while we were on vacation. She sent us pictures throughout our vacation of taking the dog out to the park, store, etc which made us feel more comfortable knowing he was well taken care of. She even got both of them toys and treats! We're very appreciative and will definitely use her again!”
“Once again I needed a dog sitter for a few hours so of course I reached to Brooklyn. She is definitely who will be called to help with Wally when I need some time away. She's prompt, great communication with me and very attentive to my 7 month old T-Rex of a basset.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Sydney provided for our two dogs while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond- sending us multiple pictures and updates everyday, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to two happy pups and a house that looked even better than when we left it. Sydney is responsible, communicative, thoughtful, and truly wonderful with animals. We look forward to booking with her again! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Sarah stayed at our farm watching everything from emus, chickens and turkeys to dogs and goats. She did a fantastic job. Our house was extremely well respected and our dogs didn’t miss us one bit 😂 100000% recommend her for all of your needs. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Amir took terrific care of our dogs and house! He sent us photos and helpful updates throughout the week. When we returned, our pups looks relaxed and happy. Looking forward to having Amir spend more time with our dogs and I highly recommend him to others!”
“Sydney did a fantastic job watching our two fur babes and our place! Communication was A+!! Our house looked as if we had never left. The fur babes took to her instantly! We would highly recommend Sydney for all your pet sitting needs! We will 100% be back!”
“Allie took great care of our fur kids while we were on vacation. She asked really good questions before we left and communicating was easy, with quick response. We also appreciated the thoughtful photos/updates about how they were doing! Will definitely rehire for future pet-sitting needs.”
About: I have taken care of 4 dogs at once. 3 big, 1 small. They required a lot of attention. I also had to give medication to 2 of the dogs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and fitting to their needs I have school during the weekdays from 8-9 am to 2 or 3. I am able to spent the night at peoples houses and change my schedules to fit the dogs needs. I am able to do anything that fits the owners needs. I make sure to watch the dogs often and give them attention they need.
“Wonderful timely and dependable! We had a bad experience with a sitter previously but Megan restored our trust in using pet sitters! Brody was very happy to have her company. Thank you Megan for giving me peace of mind while I was on a work trip 🙏”
About: Clients often tell me their pets feel truly cared for by me, like an extension of themselves, because I offer the same love, attention, and intention they give their pets. I work and go to grad school remotely, so I have tons of time to attend to, play with, and love your sweet pets throughout the day. I organize my schedule around you and your pet's needs once you have booked a sitting with me. I live in a tiny house (on the larger side) on a large fenced piece of property. I can give your pup as much indoor/outdoor time as requested.
“Chanel was a great cat and house sitter. She sent me pictures of my cat each day and kept me updated on how she was doing. She left my condo the same way she found it. She was great with communication before, during and after the pet sit. I would recommend Chanel for your pet sitting/house sitting needs.”
“The best dog sitter we have ever had. Communication was outstanding, ours dogs and house were taken such good care of. Will 100% use Steven next time we need our dogs taken care of!”
“Momo is amazing! She took such great care of Anouk and Klaus— treating them to long walks and lots of attention. Staying on a routine is the best things for my pups, and Momo honored that and more! She’s also a great communicator which gave us extra peace of mind while we were both traveling. I HIGHLY recommend Momo!”

Roxy did a fabulous sit for us. She was so on top of everything we requested. Roxy gave us piece of mind so we could enjoy our vacation while both of our pets also got a vacation along with a new friend! Her communication was stellar; checking in, great pictures and clarification of requests. We will look forward (and our fur kids) to having Roxy sit for us again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Timber Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 4,083 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Timber Grove. 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 Timber Grove 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 Timber Grove 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 Timber Grove 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.
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.
