About: I have had pets for over 20 years. I love all fur babies and will take care of yours while you are away. Currently I have 3 doggos and your baby can chill with the pack or have their own space. I’m comfortable bathing pups, administering meds, whatever you need! I work part time in a remote (wfh) position that allows me to be with my babies all day every day. Can be let out for potty breaks every few hours or as needed. I have a large fenced backyard for your pet to chill out with my 3 friendly dogs, short distance to trails, and if your dog is on the shy side, they can be on their own but still safe and happy.

“Trisha is a terrific dogsitter/house sitter. Our two small mini poodles were happy as clams when we got home, but they weren't needy which indicated that they received a lot of love and attention while we were gone.

“Wow! Where to start... Georgia was absolutely fabulous! From the moment we reached out asking if she had availability, to the follow-up after we got back home, Georgia exceeded all of our expectations. She met up with us a week before we left to introduce herself and for us to show her around the house. She contacted us every day about our pups and sent us pictures. And when we returned home, the house was actually cleaner than when we left. We can't say enough good things about Georgia and the care she obviously puts into house/pet sitting. I would highly recommend her and will be asking her to watch our pups again in the future. We would give her 10 stars if we could!”
“Holly was fantastic with our animals (2 cats, a dog, and a pond)! While we were away on our 8 day trip she sent us some photos, which helped us know they were in good hands. And when we came back, they were only slightly perturbed at our absence, which is to be expected. Would totally have her watch our animals and house again!”
“Both dogs took to Morgan from the start, even Thor, who is usually takes quite some to warm up to new people. Got updates while I was running errands and returned to happy puppies!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Trafton
We really appreciate having Kim as a pet sitter. We have 2 geriatric cats & 2 older german shepherds. We were gone for a week but knew all was well with our cats, dogs, & 14 chicken. Kim was very communicative & sent regular pictures. We very much appreciate her and will book her when she is available. Oh yes, we had a change in our schedule. She couldn’t cover the start time, but did pick everyone up from the kennel. Kim is very reliable & our pets took to her immediately!!
Megan stayed at our house and watched our dog and two cats for 16 days. She did an amazing job! not only were our fur babies well taken care of and loved but she also did a wonderful job of watching over the house, bringing in mail and packages and watering plants. I would highly recommend Megan!

FAQs for House Sitting - Trafton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,506 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Trafton. 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 Trafton 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 Trafton 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Trafton 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.
