“Casey was amazing with our fur baby. I would highly recommend her for any dog sitting job. She was so responsible, reliable, stayed in contact with us. She sent us lots of pictures and videos. We never worried about our little Gidget. Thank you Casey for being the best dog that ever.”

“I physically can’t say enough about how INCREDIBLE of a job Jennifer did with our pup. She was soooo easy to get ahold of and always in communication with us. She’s the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Our girl, Cactus, absolutely loved her, and we will absolutely be repeat clients. She even bought our little girl a toy, and trimmed her nails. Absolutely incredible in every way. If you’re looking for a sitter/boarding/Walker/anything, don’t hesitate. ?”
“Pups seemed quite happy with Lydia and she was wonderful providing initial meet & greet and then being extremely punctual arriving at the crack of dawn so we could get an early start and staying until we returned the following evening. She sent photos through our absence so we felt assured that all was well & even let these spoiled pups sleep with her!”
About: I have experience caring for older dogs with medical needs. I have a lot of time currently and will be dedicated to giving them all the care, playing, cleaning, and attention they need. My only solid time commitments currently is needed for the family on Saturday mornings. I can easily talk on longer jobs as long as I have a few days notice. I try to leave the house as I found it when sitting in the clients house. I try to replicate their experience with their families in terms of how much they get out, where they go for dog parks, when they eat, etc
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 years old, caring for pets of all kinds for neighbors, friends, and family. Over the years, I’ve done everything from walking, feeding, bathing, and playtime to staying with pets for weeks at a time while their families are away. I’m a huge animal lover (I always joke that I love dogs more than people 😂), and I have two of my own babies!

I’ll follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special routines your pet may have. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and company while you’re away, and I’m always happy to send pictures and updates for a little extra peace of mind! I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I am a dog loving patient person who enjoys long walks. I have volunteered with the SPCA and have been around teacup Chihuahuas to big and active dogs such as Shepherds, Great Danes, and high energy Greyhounds and Catahoulas. I have owned and taken care of several big dogs most of my life to include: a Shepherd, Black Labs, a couple Dachshunds and a full-blooded Catahoula; so I understand the rigours of the exercise that they need. I am available almost anytime, except for the hours of church. Give me a shout and if you would prefer to meet me before entrusting your faithful companion or baby to my care, I would be happy to meet up with you and rover to see how we click.
“We had Kimber stay at our house for a week to babysit our fur babies. She did an amazing job! Gave us pictures each day, walked our pups on schedule and left our home clean.

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I have a Goldendoodle, two Poodles, and three cats, and I’ve been pet sitting for 2 years.

Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they’re well cared for. I care for every pet as if they were my own.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was six years old, starting with my childhood dog. As an adult, I’ve had the joy of caring for my own pets, including three dogs, two rats, several fish, and even chickens. My experience goes beyond my own pets—I’ve also looked after animals for neighbors, family, and friends, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in giving every pet the best care possible. I'm currently working part-time as a Door Dasher and Uber Eats delivery driver. So I'll have plenty of time to play and attend to your pups at anytime of the day or night. I'm available for boarding your pets on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm. I live in a house on 10 acres of land so I have plenty of yard for your pups to run around. I also have 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. Also, if I need to kennel your dog, we do keep a large kennel in the house. We do allow the dogs on the furniture. We also have a bunch of dog toys and dog treats that we get from a monthly membership we pay for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 167 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tolar. 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 Tolar 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 Tolar 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 Tolar 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.
