“Kendra is amazing!! From our first meet and greet, she let my 90lb dog give her kisses all over her face and they were comfortable together right off the bat. She gave proactive updates and was great at communicating while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with Kendra again!!”
About: Where I live, I am not able to have pets. (English bulldogs are my favorites! I know all about their special needs having been owned by them before.) But I love animals, have been a dog and cat owner in the past and have fur-babysat for many friends, family and acquaintances for many years. I give good ear and belly rubs, am able to walk dogs and send you pictures. I follow instructions well, can administer medication and pick up after pets diligently. Can give generous treats or few, as directed. I am comfortable with multiple animals. I know the value of making sure water bowls are full, animals aren't overheated or left out in the cold and clients feel confident about their property & pet care. I have watched all sizes, from dachshunds to St. Bernards. I do not have allergies. I am responsive to messages, usually have a flexible schedule and pride myself on good service. Every animal has their own personality. They all appreciate the comfort of their own home, though. My daily schedule is working in an office from 7:30-4:30. I am available most afternoons and evenings for walks, possible animal and house-sitting many weekends. Since I am not able to own pets in the home I rent, your animals would have all my attention. I would Not take on multiple jobs or agree to more than I could handle. Your fur babies are your priority and taking good care of them is mine.
“Daniel once again was willing to cover a last minute booking. I don’t worry at all when he is keeping an eye on things. One of my dogs has been having stomach issues and he took great care of her & administered her medicine daily. Thanks so much Daniel!”
About: I have been a pet lover since I was a child, grew up in a ranch where we had both farm animals , cats and dogs. I look forward to providing your pet with the care they need, fun walks and play time . I will be off for the summer and will be available throughout June July and August. The sooner you can book your services the better. I have lived in this home for 15 years and have excellent neighbors. I have a fenced yard with grassy area. There is no access to the front yard everything is secured.
About: I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, pigs, goats and horses! I worked with a breeder so I have lots of experience with puppies and mothers. Most dogs I've spent time with are high energy dogs like Australian shepard's but I've also spent time with low energy like Saint Bernards. I am a travel occupational therapist currently taking a break from moving around. Currently not working so I am very free! I love morning walks. I live in a camper but your fur baby will not be home alone! Our campground has a fenced dog run and I would love to visit some parks if comfortable. I can visit your pet within their home at any time of day.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes through pet sitting for family members and friends. I’ve looked after large breeds like German Shepherds, medium breeds like Golden Doodles, and small breeds like Pugs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering routines, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. In addition to pet sitting, I have also house sat for family members and friends, keeping their homes clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m dependable, responsible, and treat every home and pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive care. I will be starting nursing school soon, but my schedule still allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I can give pets a bathroom break before leaving around 6:40 a.m., return around 12:30 p.m. for another potty break and check-in, and then be back after 3:00 p.m. From that point on, I can provide bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention as needed for the rest of the day. I am committed to following your pet’s routine and will complete all care instructions and household tasks before leaving. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away, while also keeping your home clean and secure. I always prioritize a pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. In my client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any other specific requests. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, taking out the trash, and making sure the home is secure before I leave. I communicate with owners by providing updates and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I've always been the number one person people call to take care of their animals! I'm naturally active so playing, going on walks or playing fetch is never cut short. I am not afraid of cleaning up after animals whether it be litter boxes, baths, brushing, tooth brushing, nail clipping or cleaning up the lawn. I am a soon to be college student and am available in the mornings and afternoons until 8pm. I am not afraid of early mornings if I need to take care of your animals before the sun rises. Weekends have complete open availability! I have a fenced yard for when I take care of other people's dogs but always keep an eye on them. For my cats, I clean their litter box at least once a day or twice if needed and watch their water intake to avoid kidney issues. For any animal, I ensure they're well-groomed and I monitor any behaviors that could indicate a health concern. Any animal will be well played with to keep them engaged and minimize late night zoomies.
“Amber was awesome with Whiskey and Walton. She kept us updated and sent several pictures of the pups! We will definitely be using Amber in the future and would highly recommend her!”

I am usually free on weekends for drop-in visits and/or daycare for your furbabies. Just require a week notice! I have a fenced and big backyard for the doggos to run around. I’m pretty good at introducing my dogs to visitors and I’m also pretty easy to work with.

About: I've had dogs my whole life — all 40+ years of it. Reading a dog's mood, sticking to their routine, and knowing when something's off is second nature to me, not something I just picked up. And at my age, I'm past the flaky stage: I'm reliable, I show up, I communicate, and I treat your dog the way I treat my own. I'm Kristi, 43, from Sanger, and dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Right now my days revolve around my two dogs — Mina, a 2-year-old pit bull and shepherd mix who's all energy and very food-motivated, and Skai, a husky, shepherd, and lab mix who is 3-years-old and the mellow one. Between the two of them, I'm used to every kind of dog day: high-energy play, slow couch time, and everything in between. I work remotely for work so it makes it easy to be home with them all the time. Your dog joins our normal daily routine — feeding on their own schedule, walks and playtime, plenty of downtime, and a calm place to sleep at night. I have a yard with room for more dogs, and I can keep your dog separate from mine if that's a better fit — whether they need their own space or just do better one-on-one. I stick to whatever routine you give me, send you updates and photos, and if anything seems off, I call you right away and get them to a vet if needed.
“Kaitlyn always does an amazing job. Definitely the best dog sitter we have ever had. She communicates proactively and spends lots of time with the dogs! Would highly recommend!”
“I’m so glad I was able to book with Mary for my weekend out of town! She was such a joy to work with and I felt totally confident leaving my fur baby with her. She was polite and professional and so sweet sending pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: Animals are a passion of mine, I pride myself on providing the utmost care for my pets and am eager to provide the same care for anyone who is in need of help! I work nights currently, allowing me to fit in late night walks and early morning outings. My schedule allows me to provide extra care on overnight assignments as while they sleep I'm able to provide an attentive eye throughout the night. I am well versed in pet experience, as I have three little dogs I love dearly. I am always extending that same passion for all pets, as I feel they're just as much apart of the family. I'm very attentive and particular, so any deviation from listed behavior would definitely be something I notice.
“This was my second time hiring Jonnie to care for pets in my home. Once again she did an amazing job! My fur-babies loved her and she goes above and beyond to care for all animals (even health challenged ones) and my home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter who is trustworthy, reliable, and detailed in providing optimum care for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and the home. Thanks Jonnie!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 485 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Traver. 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 Traver 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 Traver 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 Traver 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.
