“Sarah is awesome! She was great at communicating, providing daily updates and pics of our pups. I could tell from the pics that the dogs took a quick liking to her and when we got home they were happy and relaxed. Couldn’t ask for anything more! She’ll definitely be our go-to dog sitter from now on!”
“Bryanna is fantastic! We’ve never felt so relieved in knowing that we have a person we can fully trust and rely on with our pups. We have a senior dog and a puppy. That combo can be a bit overwhelming, but Bryanna was able to handle them effortlessly. We know we will be reaching out to her again in the future!”

About: Hi, I'm Johnnie! I have a background in Human Services and Counseling, so attentiveness and genuine care come naturally to me. I've helped look after family and friends' pets and understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home. I specialize in house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I show up on time, send regular photo updates, and treat every pet like my own. Looking forward to meeting yours! 🐾 Your pet is my top priority throughout the day and even at night no matter what! If I eat your pet eats if I go out for a walk most certainly your pet will be walking with me! Your pet will always align into my schedule perfectly synced. In my home I only hope that I am provided a thorough explanation of what type of care and personality your pet has so that I may adjust myself accordingly. Having the supplies needed to care for your pet is also a huge relief and is appreciated. In your home (should you allow me to) caring for your pet in your home is right next to caring for your pet in the president's own house, I'll settle for nothing but giving my best for you and your pet.
“Kelli is always great with our furbabies, when we return from our trips they are happy to see us but spend hours looking for her to return! She treats them like her own and follows our directions to a “T”. She even drives 2 hours to our new home to watch them because we moved out of her area.”
“Hannah was great! She sent me multiple photos throughout the night of our pups and kept me up to date with how they were doing! This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but she made me feel at ease and comfortable with our pups!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses and am comfortable with feeding schedules, fresh water, playtime/exercise, cleaning up after pets, and keeping routines consistent while owners are away. What sets me apart is that I’m very attentive, patient, and detail-oriented with care. I understand that every pet has different personalities and needs, so I take time to follow routines closely and make sure they feel comfortable and safe in their own environment. I’m happy to provide overnight companionship, lots of attention, and help keep the home cared for during stays. I have a flexible schedule and especially enjoy overnight and multi-day pet care. I prefer planned bookings so I can make sure I’m fully available to give pets consistent care, attention, and keep them on their normal routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets and someone’s home. I follow all instructions carefully and make sure I understand each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs before the stay. I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and maintain a calm and consistent environment so they feel safe and comfortable. I also respect the home I am staying in by keeping it clean, organized, and treated with care, as if it were my own. Communication is important to me, so I am happy to provide updates so owners feel at ease while they are away.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I’ve always been very hands-on with the pet care at home. I am a trusted pet babysitter amongst my family. I value the pet’s mental health and happiness especially while their owner is away. I am a part-time college student, and I work at a catering company with a highly flexible schedule, so I can work around your needs. I try to encourage a stress free environment by sticking to your pet’s normal routine while you’re away, making sure that they’re happy and healthy, as they would be under your own care.
“This is the third time I’ve used Isabella and her sister Great experience- they were on time very dog loving and respectful of our home and Teddy Bear !! We intend to use Isabella over and over again It’s great to have a trusted sitter ! Thanks, Dave”
“Estefania did a great job! Abby was happy as a clam when I got home and Estefania sent pictures and videos! Abby can be a pill and Estefania had no problems with her. She's wonderful.”
“Jessica did an outstanding job taking care of my dogs and house while we were away! She kept me posted with pictures and updates every few hours. I would highly recommend her! So happy to have found Jessica. She's exactly what we were hoping for in a trusted pet-sitter.”
“This was my first time using Rover. Maddyn was great with my pets. She was easy to communicate with. She sent pictures and updates. She asked questions when needed. She brushed Bear and Dakota, shook out their beds. She swept and bought the mail in everyday. She let me know I received a package that had to be refrigerated and she put it in the fridge for me before I even had a chance to let her know about it. I will use Maddyn again!”
About: My family is grateful to still care for our 17 year old senior dog, Ace. We have had Ace since he was 8 months old. I have the energy to handle a puppy and the patience to handle a senior dog. I also have my own cat, Sophia. I truly understand the temperaments of both animals. I’ve been trusted to care for my own pets as well as my friends. I am available throughout the week as I am dedicated to Rover full time. I have my own vehicle so that makes traveling seamless. I am available from 10am-10pm most days. I understand that each pet will have their own specific way to be cared for. A pet is absolutely individualistic and there is no one way to care for everyone’s pet. Therefore, I will follow the directions as explained in order to keep the fur baby’s routine.
About: I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities, from energetic dogs to various cat personalities. Growing up with a range of animals, including dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, ducks, and bunnies, I developed a deep understanding of their needs. My experience includes walking, feeding, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m reliable, flexible, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a calm companion or an active playmate, I’m here to ensure they feel safe and happy while you're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule as I currently don't have a job. My bouquet business allows me flexibility, giving me ample time to care for pets daily. I can establish routines for feeding, walking, and playing, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve while I work on my floral creations. This balance keeps me engaged and provides a fulfilling routine. In my clients' homes, I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment for their pets. I always take the time to check for any hazards and follow their specific routines and preferences closely. I approach each pet with patience and kindness, helping them feel relaxed. I also like to keep pet owners updated with messages and photos, so they know their pets are happy and well-cared for. Building that trust is really important to me!
“Carter took great care of my boys. They aren’t the easiest (one doesn’t like strangers or other dogs and the other has separation anxiety and both are big and needy) but from the moment he met them, they were buddies. He left the house in clean and kept me informed on how they were doing while I was away. Will definitely book with him again and we are so thankful we found him.”
“Sarah and Luiciana (her mom) came to meet us and Nala prior to us hiring her. Nala immediately warmed up to them and that gave us peace. While we were away they came to our home, spent time with Nala, fed her, let her out to potty and gave her allergy medications. They sent pictures and videos everyday. They kept in contact about Nala’s daily demeanor and just overall kept us informed on every detail. Their love for animals is evident! They were also very respectful of our home. I will definitely be using them again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, they are so beautiful, I enjoy being around them and making them happy like they deserve Im a medical assistant and work until 5pm, I am available after that time to be with the pups and the whole day on the weekends I always keep an eye on the dogs and make sure they are safe, always follow the owner directions they know the pups better that anybody
“Andrew is phenomenal and I’ll happily be requesting his service again soon :) he completed an in home stay with my pup and I know they took great care of him. He was incredibly flexible with my scheduled as well as Milo’s. Happy to have met Andrew and had great vibes on out meet and greet too!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Timber Pines
Shantel is amazing. I don't even know where to begin. She was a blessing for sure. She took the best care of my fur babies and was so knowledgeable about so many things. I am so lucky to have found her and blessed. This was a first for us to have a sitter in our home, but I couldn't have anyone more respectful and prompt. Thank you Shantel for all you did and looking forward to our next getaway. Blessings to you and your mom ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Timber Pines is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Pines 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 Pines 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 Pines 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
