“Fiona took wonderful care of our home and senior dog. She made sure to provide daily updates with pictures and left our house immaculate. I would recommend her to anyone needing pet services and plan on using her services moving forward.”
“Mandisa did a fantastic job looking after our dog, cats and home, and was great about checking in and providing updates while we were away. We look forward to having her housesit for us again!”
About: Hello! I'm Val and I have been a Rover sitter for a few years. I have cared for over 30 different dogs, so I am confident your dog could be a good fit for me. My dogs are my family so I understand how precious they are to you. I have had dogs my whole life and always will. I also have advanced experience with dog training basics and walking. I have taken two 10 week courses in training basics, socializing and dog walking. I can be firm and assertive when needed. Dog's are so different from humans especially in the way they communicate, patience is key! I have placed my dogs in the care of others many times so I understand how stressful it may feel. I am confident that your pups will enjoy time with me and that you will feel at peace knowing they are well taken care of. I will do my best to keep their home life the same including schedules, feeding times and exercise. My care will be attentive and disciplined but always ending with play.

“Suzy was such a blessing. She came on short notice and took excellent care of our dogs. One of them experienced a health issue while we were gone and Suzy helped us navigate the issue keeping us updated and reassured and helped to resolve the issue. I didn’t worry because Suzy was taking such good care. She gave lots of updates and sent little videos and pictures. We are very grateful.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I love animals more than anything and think doing something like this is a perfect fit for me. Im currently mostly free, I don’t start classes up again until spring of next year:) anytime throughout the day/evening just need to know before hand. Just would like clear communication and respect on both ends of course, I’d say I’m pretty understanding and willing to make change if ever needed.
“Vivian was wonderful with my two young cats. She made my first trip away from my kitties easy and she was so attentive to their care. I had such peace of mind while I was away knowing she was so great with animals.”
About: I am a loving and friendly dog sitter! I grew up with two dogs, a poodle and a Chihuahua. My family currently has a bull terrier that I love very much. I also take care of my best friend's dog when she is out of town. I love dogs and going on walks so this combination is perfect for me. I am currently a nanny to one of nephews as needed but I am free every day during the summer to take care of your furry babies. I make sure I read their cues of needing water/food, when they need to pee/poop, when they're overstimulated, stressed, or happy. I also make sure to pet them and show them love by scratching them, patting them, and rubbing them. I also follow any schedule that is given to me to make sure they stick to their normal routine.
About: I believe every animal deserves patience and love. They tell you what they need when you know what to look for and give them the opportunity to express themselves. I grew up with many pets and have experience caring for all kinds of dogs and cats. I have cared for puppies, senior animals, and everything in between. I'm currently exclusively a pet-sitter and have no pets of my own, so I can give my undivided attention to your animals. When I start part-time classes Monday-Thursday in the fall, I will still be available after class and over the weekends. I maintain a calm environment and provide exercise, play time, and cuddles for every pet. I love walking dogs around their neighborhoods and taking them to the park or the beach. I follow feeding schedules and other care instructions and have experience with crate-training and separation anxiety.
“I returned to find my cat 20-25% less petty and vindictive than when I have returned from trips with an average sitter. No shredded shoes, no "draping" on the litter-box. Daniel does sitting well.”
“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”
“Emma was fantastic with our dog Freya. From the start, her communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring, which made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. She kept us updated and gave us real peace of mind knowing Freya was in great hands. It’s obvious she genuinely cares, and that made all the difference. We’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and attentive.”
“Irina is truly wonderful, she takes great care in taking proper care with your pets and home while we were away for 2 weeks. I had a big concern because I didn’t have a good experience with a previous sitter and my dog needed extra attention for her mobility. Irina was up for the job, and I felt at ease and felt I could enjoy my trip without worry! Would definitely recommend, and I would book her again :)”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for years now I treat the dogs like their my dogs giving all the love and attention they need while the owners are away I work for the VCUSD so I try to make it work the best I can during the school year but in the summer I’m free I always try to keep an eye on the pets and check on them every so often I try to give them as much attention and play time as I can throughout the day
“Tania did a great job taking care of our senior pup who suffers from separation anxiety and doesn’t like to take her meds. Tania was prompt, easy to communicate with before and during her stay, sent lots of pictures, and left our house immaculate. We will definitely use her again.”
“Rod was fantastic and I will be using him again for my pet sitting needs. He provided photos and checked in daily. Lastly, he did a wonderful job with clearly communicating any questions before hand.”
About: I have 4 dogs. I always stay behind on family vacations to watch them. I also make sure that they are fed on time, taking care of their medical needs and always put their needs before mine. I don't see dogs as pets but as part of the family. I work part-time at the best Western on Benicia. I at the moment only work afternoon/ evening shifts. So I always get up 5 am every day making sure I get my dogs needs fulfilled before mine. I have a lot of free time in the morning since I take online course at solano community college. I have a fenced in yard. My dogs were not socialized with other dogs in their puppy years. Because of that I always make sure of my surroundings at all times. I also understand breed bias as well since 1 of them is a Rottweiler german shepherd mixed. Again I always make sure that I treat dogs that I take care of as if they were mine.
“Rachelle is prompt and responsive! She's very pleasant to deal with, she pet sat our dog for 2.5 days in our home while we were away. My pup was very calm and relaxed when i came home, which was great, since he can be very anxious at times. I will definitely contact her again, the next time we need to be away from home!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Tormey is $75

Ella was excellent! Our dog was shy getting to know her but she came for multiple walks prior to our trip so they could get to know each other. She was kind and patient each time letting our dog go at her own pace. Ella sent updates and pictures regularly to let us know things were going well with both animals and followed all our instructions. (I'm also pretty sure the house was cleaner than when we left as well!) We will absolutely be hiring Ella again in the future, thank you for your care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 7,875 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tormey. 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 Tormey 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 Tormey 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 Tormey 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tormey. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
