“Amanda stayed at our home for 6 days with our Honey Girl while we were away on vacation. She kept in touch with updates, pictures, and even video chats. We knew our girl was in good hands which made our trip more enjoyable. Amanda also had our home like it was when we left which was much appreciated.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all kinds and know firsthand the love and attention they need. From my first dog, Francis—a loyal Cocker Spaniel/Beagle mix who was part of the family for 16 years—to Olivia, a playful Boxer mix who brought joy for 9 years, I’ve learned how to care for dogs with different personalities and health needs. Now, I’m lucky to share my life with Lulu, a 3-year-old Staffy and Pitbull mix. I treat every dog with the same love and care I give my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved. Taking care of pets is just part of my everyday life. I make sure there’s time for walks, play, meals, and plenty of love every day. I’m used to paying attention to what each dog needs—whether it’s some extra energy to burn or just some chill cuddle time. Basically, I fit pet care into my routine because I genuinely enjoy hanging out with dogs and making sure they’re happy. I live in a quiet apartment with my dog Lulu, which provides a calm and safe environment for pets. I’m also close to several parks with plenty of space for walks and playtime, so your fur baby will get lots of exercise and fresh air. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or during in-home visits, I always make sure water is available and follow feeding routines tailored to your dog’s needs. I take pride in giving attentive walks, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love to keep your dog happy and comfortable while you’re away.

“Susan & Corey were absolutely wonderful with my anxious & sweet Chihuahua. They stayed at our home and were extremely kind and wonderful with my dog! They gave him so much attention, belly rubs, and snuggles. Susan was also very kind at arriving very early on the first day so we could set out for our trip on time. The communication was also great with Susan and she made us feel very comfortable by sending pictures of my dog eating, snuggling with them on the sofa, and being happy. Susan also took great care of our home, brought in our mail and packages for us, and left our home nice & clean. She also left us a report card on their stay which we thought was a nice touch. Would highly recommend Susan!!! She is kind, professional, and clearly has been working with animals for a long time.”

About: As an only child, I grew up with my dogs as my siblings and I have grown to adore them. I will provide playtime, walks, and unlimited cuddles for your best friend! My family and I currently have four dogs, Brooklyn, Whitney, Sammy, and Bourbon - They are all Labrador Retrievers and very well behaved. I have taken care of dogs of Rover parents, family, family friends, and neighbors for the past few years and it is such a fun experience! I am a firm believer that dogs are a blessing and they deserve the very best care! I am confident that I will help you give them that special care when you are not available. Pet care is an important and joyful part of my life, even with a full-time work schedule. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for your pet. I know that a loved pet is a happy pet, so I make it my priority to show your fur baby all of the love that I can while you are not home with them. This includes cuddles, play time, walks, and plenty of potty breaks!

About: I have taken care of many animals through out my life and i’ve had them ever since I was 5 so I am confident in knowing how to take care of someone else’s pets and the value of how important it is. I have many skills and experience with animals. I love being an asset to my community and love to make a difference. I am a Vet Tech and I’m a sitter on the side. I am currently in school for Vet Tech through YTI and I am remote, so I have plenty of time to take care of lovely animals, I work at a vet three days a week as a vet assistant! I have 5 dogs and 3 cats but they are very friendly and would love to play with a new furry friend, my pets are very spoiled so other pets will get the very same treatment! I love taking dogs for walks and enjoy playing with animals and giving them the attention they desire. I will also travel if your fur baby needs a sitter. I have a trail behind my house in the woods where my dogs love to walk, and i’m sure your dog would too! I love playing with cats, they are lovely purring friends. I don’t cage my dogs but if your fur baby needs crated I already have crates.

About: Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I am a local high school teacher enjoying summer break and looking to spend my extra time caring for animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently care for three dogs, two cats, a rabbit, and a blue tongue skink, and I have experience with many other types of pets as well. My dogs actively compete in agility, scent work, Fast CAT, and dock diving, so I am comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, medication, playtime, or simply some extra attention while you're away, I will care for them as if they were my own. As a teacher, I am dependable, organized, and responsible. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pets in someone else's care, and I will provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and safe. I have experience with: Dogs Cats Rabbits Reptiles Small animals Senior pets High-energy dogs Multi-pet households I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently care for three dogs, two cats, a rabbit, a snake, and a blue tongue skink, so feeding, exercise, cleaning, and spending quality time with animals are part of every day. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule as a teacher on break, which allows me to provide visits throughout the day, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. During the school year, I continue offering pet care services, but I am unavailable during the school day while teaching. However, I am available before and after school, evenings, weekends, holidays, and for overnight stays. I enjoy staying active with my own dogs through activities like agility, scent work, Fast CAT, and dock diving, so caring for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. I understand how important routines are for animals and will work to keep your pet's schedule as consistent as possible while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay on their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, exercise, and household routines. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their family is away. Safety is always a priority. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, keep pets on leash during walks unless otherwise instructed in a safe enclosed area, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and other small animals. I also know how important communication is for pet owners. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable, loving care that keeps them happy, comfortable, and safe.

About: I’ve have taken care of dogs since I was little. I currently own a dog of my own. I’m good with all kinds of dogs, rescues especially. In my free time I volunteer at the animal shelter to give them the love they unfortunately don’t receive. I have an easy and flexible schedule. I’m typically available to check in with your pets every 2-4 hours during the weekends, and every 4-6 hours during the weekdays. I can crate your animal based on your preference. I do not have a fenced in yard, however I take my dog on a trail everyday to make sure he gets all the exercise he needs. I can handle large and extra large dogs even ones that pull on a leash.

Kevin stayed at my house with my two dogs for an entire week while I was away, and he did an excellent job. I have a 9‑year‑old social, loving dog and a rescue who is very cautious and wary around strangers. Kevin’s calm, gentle personality made him a perfect match for both of them. Before my trip, he willingly came for several short visits so my rescue could get used to him at his own pace. While I was gone, he gave my little guy plenty of affection and was patient, kind, and respectful with my apprehensive rescue. He kept in touch throughout the week, updating me on how they were doing, which gave me great peace of mind. When I returned home, the house was exactly as I left it — tidy, organized, and well cared for. Kevin even ran the dishwasher and washed the linens before leaving! If you’re looking for someone you can truly feel comfortable trusting with both your pets and your home, Kevin is absolutely the person you want!

This was our first time using Rover, and Fran really eased our minds. She came for a meet and greet prior to our vacation, and we immediately knew our 3 cats would be extremely well cared for in our absence. She texted us with questions, updates, and pics. She followed our instructions for medication, special diets, and timed-feedings. She is a super nice person, and will take care of your pets as her own. We definitely recommend her services and plan on requesting her again the next time we go away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Timber Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,031 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Timber Hills. 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Timber Hills. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
