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.
About: I have been involved with various animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and exotics. Recently I worked as a vet tech at a veterinary office so I have experience administering medication to cats, dogs, and horses. Most recently I worked at a dog boarding facility where I watched, fed, walked, trained, gave medication, and bathed, up to 50 dogs at a time. I am happy to work with you around your schedule and habits with your pets. I strive to make life easier for pet owners while ensuring their pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work around your needs and your pet’s routine. The only times I may be unavailable are when I have occasional prior commitments. I will be respectful to your home and your pet's normal routine. I am happy to follow any guidelines you may have about your pet's food, sleeping conditions, toys, comfort, etc.

I will care for your pets in your home to keep them as comfortable as possible. I will follow their routine to keep them as happy and stress free as possible.
About: I have had pets for as long as I remember! From cats, to dogs to reptiles and almost everything in between. I currently have 2 dogs- one pug and one red heeler who are the highlight of days. I'm familiar with having to provide supplements and medications on a set schedule, and enjoy taking my pups for long walks to let them sniff around to their hearts content. I currently work remotely Monday- Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. I have limited morning availability but the afternoons and evenings I have open availability I do have a smaller fully fenced in yard that is over 6 feet in height. I live in a neighborhood that is great for walks as traffic is very limited!
“Colton house sat and took care of our 2 dogs for 5 days while we were out of state. It was a very last minute booking and he was very flexible and prompt. I was very impressed with how willing he was to make things work and easier for us. He not only showed up on time for our meet and greet but was actually early! We had a change in our departure plans from the night before at 6p.m to instead the morning of at 5 a.m and he without any hesitation was ok with that and was here at the agreed time of 4a.m. We have 1 senior dog that needs medicine nightly and has major anxiety and our other dog who has IBD and allergic to so many things and also has a very strict diet. Even a crumb on the floor would set her into a major flare up if she got it so that was a concern for us. He was definitely very careful because she never once got sick. He clearly eased their anxiety with us being gone because there was no damage done by them in the house. He followed all the instructions/restrictions for them and did a fantastic job. Any questions he had he reached out to us which was great because there were a couple little things that I forgot to mention (like no dogs on the furniture) and he asked us first rather than just assuming. Not only did he take care of our house and dogs he even fed and gave water to the outside cat that has chosen to adopted us. Taking care of a cat wasn't in the booking but he did it anyway out of the goodness of his heart. He was very transparent with us, respectful and the communication was great. I was not exactly looking forward to having to clean the house after getting home from our trip and having 2 dogs that shed like no other. However I didn't have to because the house was COMPLETELY spotless! I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciated that on top of everything else! Colton is so awesome and next time we go on a trip without the dogs he will be the first person we reach out to!”
“My kitties are my children, and so leaving them for a weekend is always a bit nerve-wrecking for me. Thankfully I found Gabriel (last minute, too!) and he immediately made me feel relaxed and confident that Weebs and Girl would be taken care of! He sent me multiple pictures, always communicated with me, and left the place nice and tidy (despite our sometimes messy little kitties!) Gabriel is a wonderful person and I will definitely be asking him to come back!”
About: I am someone who truly believes that pets are an important part of the family. I have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines and needs over the years and have a background in health care. I am confident I can take excellent care of your pets and give them the fulfillment they need while you are away! I am available daily with no set schedule. I have made the difficult decision to leave the nursing profession after 20 years to do something that brings me joy. I will respect your home and the pet’s environment as if it were my own. I am comfortable being in any type of environment and will follow whatever schedule and routine you need me to in order to care for your baby the best way possible.
About: I tailor every routine to each dog’s unique needs:) I listed eight years of dog experience because that’s how old my black Lab is! I grew up in a dog loving home and wouldn’t want it any other way. I love all types of dogs and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I have plenty of love, patience, and positive reinforcement to share 🥰 big on communication and sending millions of photos of your dog Pet care fits into my schedule on Saturday and Sunday. Any hour on the weekends is perfect. I am busy during the weekdays. Thank you :) When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow all feeding instructions carefully, providing the right food and fresh water at the right times. I keep their living spaces clean, including changing bedding and cleaning litter boxes or waste areas. I give pets plenty of exercise and playtime to keep them happy and healthy, while also watching closely for any signs of illness or unusual behavior. Safety is a priority, so I make sure the environment is free from hazards and escape routes. I spend quality time giving pets attention and comfort to reduce stress, and I always follow the specific care instructions given by the owner to ensure the pet’s well-being.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Trafton
Kim did an amazing job taking care of our Abby. Abby is very shy and Kim was great with her. Also, we had a power outage during her stay in our home and handled that situation well. She kept us updated on everything, sent much appreciated photos of Abby and left our house in great shape. We will certainly be repeat customers!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,491 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.
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 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 , 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.
