“I cannot recommend Brie enough.She was professional and eager to understand my dogs needs and quirks. Brie followed all instructions perfectly- walks , feeding schedule, medication and their favorite games. I loved receiving updates and photos, it was obvious my dogs were relaxed happy and getting lots of attention. Coming home to two happy dogs was the best feeling. Brie is truly a 10/10!!”

“Hello sarah this is the first chance I have had to sit down and write a little note. I wanted to make sure that we were all on the same page and that everything went OK I know the kids missed us, but I know that you took very good care of them. I don’t have anything definitive but sometime around the first part of October bill is gonna have to have surgery up at Mayo so we’d probably be gone maybe 2 to 3 days if you’re interested in when I find something more definitive on date wise, I’ll be certain to let you know if you care to come back that is hope all is well and I thank you for all your hard work”

“It has taken us a long time to find someone who will actually take the time to sit with our cat and give her time to warm up. Marika takes her time and she does a fantastic job. Our kitty needs an oral capsule and injections and she got it done! Bravo! She also really listens and follows through. She will be our go-to caregiver from now on!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, I started dog sitting around 3 years ago and I worked at a doggy daycare for two years. I absolutely love animals and would love to care for your fur babies!

I will provide loving care for your fur babies while you are away from home, I will communicate with you through text and send you pictures frequently. I also have experience with dogs who don't necessarily like people.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve owned dogs for years, fostered dogs, and have experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, boundaries, and what makes them feel comfortable and safe. I’m comfortable with large and strong breeds, as well as dogs who need a little extra patience, structure, or reassurance. I also have experience working on basic obedience, leash manners, commands, and positive, reward-based training. I believe dogs thrive with a combination of consistency, exercise, enrichment, affection, and clear expectations. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I treat every dog in my care like one of my own and make sure owners receive plenty of communication and updates while they’re away. Whether your dog wants long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and genuinely excited to see me again. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for dogs is already a big part of my life. I structure my day around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, training, enrichment, and plenty of attention and affection. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give each pet individualized care rather than simply fitting them in between other commitments. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m also happy to adjust my routine to match what your pet is accustomed to at home so they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 Here’s a warm, professional answer you can use for your Rover profile: I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific rules or training they’re working on. I know consistency is important for dogs, especially when their family is away. Safety is always my priority. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, body language, energy level, and individual needs. I use positive, reward-based reinforcement and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and downtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their pet and their space and make sure everything is left just as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of love. 🐾

About: I have over 8 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I provide dependable dog walking services focused on safety, exercise, and fun. I’m comfortable with puppies who are still learning leash manners as well as senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means high energy walks, basic reinforcement of commands, or extra patience and care. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priority, and I’ll treat them like my own every time we head out for a walk. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. I’m also available most weekends. Whether your dog needs a consistent daily walk or occasional drop ins, I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide reliable, on time care you can count on. Your dog’s safety is always my number one priority. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and any special needs. I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level, age, and personality, whether that means a brisk, active walk or a slow, relaxed stroll. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life from young to old dogs/cats. From making the most basic meals for them to handling their medications they may have. I am currently working full time and depending on what each pet owner wants can do weekend or week care depending on what is needed I am always cautious with peoples pets, I always keep an eye on them if I’m leaving, or if I’m taking them outside they are always on the leash.

About: Very experienced and knowledgable with dogs, cats, birds, horses, pocket pets and all types of farm animals. Can provide drop in visits for any house or farm and can take care of farm chores. Dogs staying at our house have access to the whole house, but can be kept separate from resident dogs if needed. Two 15-30 minute walks provided each day, both morning and night, possibly more depending on the dog and day. We are very active with our three dogs and any guests would receive the same care and attention as our own. We provide mental stimulation as well as physical, and daily obedience work is a part of our schedule. I am available for drop in visits.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and I currently care for two dogs and two cats of my own. That hands-on, everyday experience means I'm attuned to pet behavior and know how to keep animals calm, happy, and on their routine when their owners are away. Growing up with pets also gave me a strong foundation in recognizing when something seems off, whether it's a change in appetite, energy, or mood so, you can travel with peace of mind knowing your home and pets are in attentive, loving hands. I currently work a regular full-time schedule that wraps up by early afternoon on weekdays, leaving me plenty of time for afternoon and evening pet care. Weekends vary, but I'm always mindful of scheduling around my availability to make sure your pets get the attention they deserve. I only take on sits I can fully commit to; your pets and home will always be my priority when I'm booked. When house sitting, I treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I stick to your pet's established routines, feeding times, walks, play, and rest, so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I'm attentive to any changes in behavior or health and will always reach out if something seems off. You can expect regular updates and photos so you stay connected to your pets no matter where you are.

About: Hi there! I have lots of professional experience caring for pets of all kinds! I’ve worked at several doggy daycares, including Camp Run-a-Mutt, where I became comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. When I lived in Atlanta, I also worked for a professional pet-sitting company for two years. I traveled throughout the city providing dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays for all different kinds of pets. I absolutely love animals and take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual needs and would love the opportunity to give your furry friends the care and attention they deserve! :) I'm currently working as a part-time barista, so I have plenty of time to fit in some pet sitting! My schedule is flexible! I take your instructions very seriously, and will care for your pets in the best way possible. Theirs and yours happiness are my top priority!

Where do I start? Char stayed with our pug while we were away and we could not have asked for a better sitter for our boy! She sent daily photos and updates which put my mind at ease the entire trip! She even wrote notes and updates about Hank every single day and left them for us upon our return. Her love for animals is easy to see - we would recommend Char to anyone🖤

FAQs for House Sitting - Toddville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 322 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Toddville. 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 Toddville 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 Toddville 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 Toddville 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 Toddville. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
