“Austin is reliable, caring, and trustworthy. Always dependable, sends daily updates, and is always a pleasure. It gives me such peace of mind to know my pups are so well cared for in my absence.”
“Danielle was absolutely wonderful! From the moment she arrived we received updates on our 2 pups. She sent photos and let us know when they had eaten, done their business, gone for walks, etc. She handled our senior dogs medication flawlessly, and their special feeding instructions were carried out perfectly. Both our dogs truly enjoyed their time with her, she was a blessing to our family while we were away. 10/10 would recommend Danielle, and will use her again in the future.”
“Christina was so wonderful! She stayed in our home for a full week and took great care of our dog. She reached out with pictures and updates and left our house exactly how she found it if not cleaner! We really appreciate it”
“Our dogs and our family loved Bethany. She put all our fears at ease, as we have never used a dog sitting service before. Scheduled a meet and greet before hand and was able to see personally that our dogs loved her as well as photos during her stay and updates. Our babies have a new best friend when Mom and Dad can’t be home. ❤️”
About: Alongside taking care of my own pets, I have three years of professional experience working with hundreds of dogs daily at a pet care facility. I have been professionally trained to handle feeding, bathing, and medications, including insulin injections and needles, while maintaining clear and professional communication with owners. I have experience handling dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to dogs in their golden years, as well as a wide range of sizes—from Chihuahuas weighing under 3 pounds to large Dalmatians and Rottweilers weighing well over 120 pounds. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my number one goal is to make sure your pet is well cared for, comfortable, and feels just as loved and secure as they would if you had never left. I am currently a full time student. My week is when I am busiest: Monday and Wednesday I am in class from 8am - 2pm. Tuesday and Thursday I am in class from 1pm - 4pm. I live in an apartment with a fairly strict pet policy so they cannot stay with me personally. Otherwise, I am more than willing to take care of a pet in your home, learn your routes and routines while getting by to know your beloved pet.
“Ren was very thorough with taking down instructions and asked questions if she needed to. Our dogs, hamster, bearded dragon and tree frog were great when we got home and the house was too. Thanks, Ren!”

Recently retired, giving me a lot of availability to meet your schedules. I’m available for overnight stays at your house or daily walk-ins I’d like to schedule a phone call or appointment to learn about your pet’s routine, feeding, medication, and daily routine prior to visit.
“This was my first time using Josue and I will definitely use him again!! He was very communicative, and took great care of Mylo for a few days. I was worried Mylo would be sad that I was gone but it seemed like Josue connection with my dog hit it off perfect! No problems at all and definitely recommend him!”
“Ashley was incredible and I would recommend. She looked over our house and puppy as we went out of town. The house was well kept, everything was clean up. She took amazing photos of our puppy.”
“We had Ashley house sit for us for the second time and she was great once again. Super responsive and very attentive to our dogs specific needs, and took good care of the house. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!”
About: Hello, I’m Lauren, I am a Veterinary medicine student who has owned animals my whole life. I started as a kennel aid at a Veterinary hospital 5 years ago and was promoted to a Veterinary technician 4 years ago, so I am well trained in all aspects of Veterinary care for your pets. I am trained in CPR and know the clinical signs and steps that should be taken when an emergency situation of any kind occurs. I earned my veterinary technician license and associates degree the summer of 2020. I am great with both cats and dogs, and am skilled with seniors, kittens/puppies, as well as special needs pets of all shapes and sizes. I have in-depth training with medication administration for pets who are diabetic, arthritic, any many more. As an owner of an anxious pet myself I am very knowledgeable of the time and care these special pets may require. I have experience with nail trims, bathing and some grooming of both dogs and cats. Part of the experience that I gained as a kennel aid was walking dogs of all shapes and sizes. My life is animals and I would love to be able to help take care of yours. I am a full time student and work part time at rhe animal ER. Thw Er only takes up two of my days during the week, so j have 5 whole days of nothing but homework and petsitting! Thank you for your consideration. I do not bring your pet to my home. In your home I will take care of them to the degree that they are accustomed to. I try to make them as comfortable as possible while you are away.
About: I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to taking care of your babies, just know that they will have a fun time hanging out with me I can keep up the energy. Have had pets my whole life in my house and know how to meet their needs well, looking to break into the pet care scene to help raise some funds for college. I am a college student that works on campus through academic departments but my schedule is quite flexible since I don't have in person classes that often. Availability is generally Sunday afternoons, all-day Tuesdays, all-day Thursdays, mornings on Fridays, all-day Saturdays, but I can work with other times as needed. The most relevant pet experience that I have is taking care of my childhood dog Brodie for a lot of his life, that was my responsibility after getting back from school. And he lived until the ripe age of 17 so I'd say I did a pretty good job of keeping him safe, happy, and healthy.
“Cynthia was the perfect house sitter! She sent plenty of updates and photos and took great care of the house and animals! She even fed everyone dinner when we realized we were going to be a couple hours later than planned. I highly recommended her services!”
“Christie went way beyond what was expected. She walked the dogs twice a day some days. She sent pictures regularly. Washed and dried the sheets and towels. She even potted a plant of mine that wouldn’t hold water. The house looked great when we got home! We can’t say enough good things about her and the dogs seemed to really like her. We will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Eddie and Carla”
About: My name is Gabriel Hale. I’m 28 years old and I have one dog who absolutely loves every dog and every person that he runs into. I have a fenced in back yard that the dogs can play in. I’m currently taking online classes over the summer with no job. I will be at home with your dog all day other than the 1-2 hours that I am working out. You can trust me with your pet because I have spent my entire life around dogs and cats. I have one dog of my own who I care for like he is my son.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. From having turtles, cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish over the years I’ve learned so much about so many different animals! every animal is different just like humans so i strive to make sure they are comfortable with me and trust me how i am with them ! Many friends and family have asked me to watch or take care of their 4 legged babies, so i hope to keep doing it with yalls ! i’m currently working part-time, so that leaves me free from 1pm to anytime. My off days are Wednesday and Fridays, they don’t change! I’m willing to walk, sit, let them out to potty, just run to go check on them, and if they need some extra loving i’m there! Of course if you need anything else i’m here and very flexible! I live in an apartment, so i wouldn’t accept nightly stays at my place, but i’m more than capable over staying at yours ! i know most of the time animals feel more comfortable and safe in their own homes ! I do have a 80 pound dog who i take out 5-6 times a day when i get home, i take him out to the dog area and play with him for hours so he can get some sunshine on him, he’s crate and potty trained, and he LOVES to be cuddled up on anyone !

Message me to book a service today 😊 I'm currently self employed and will soon be working on a training program for Spanish to English medical interpreting so generally, I can make time in any schedule to care for your pet!

I've been taking care of my aunt's Westie for 2 years without incident and so I'm your guy if you want an attentive carer that isn't going to just be "in and out."

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 357 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Toney. 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 Toney 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 Toney 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 Toney 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.
