About: May not have any dog sitter experiences. But I have been the main parent and love giver for my PopZ for 11 years. I see that as a crucial deciding factor in determining how affectionate I am with dogs. PopZ has learned several tricks from us like roll over, right, left paw, pray, turn around, whisper (soft bark) and more. I love him a lot and I feel that all dog lovers do as well. So if I’m your dog sitter and/walker, you will get the best from me. *second best”. PopZ gets the best. lol. JK, all dogs are precious. Decided to take a break from working and spend more time with family and my cutie pie PopZ, our love pet since he was 2 months old. I just love dogs and thought, why not do dog sitting to have the opportunity to see other dogs that will brighten my day 🙂. I can dog sit, walk them any day if you give me 3 days notice. For dog sitting, I will ensure they have food, fresh water when needed. They will have petting and playtime 🙂. And will go for walks if that’s what’s part of the routine.
About: I provide dependable care with lots of attention, structure and communication so you never have to wonder if your fur baby is in the right hands. I work from home 5 days a week so whether your dog loves long walks, endless fetch sessions or simply some playtime and cuddles i am always available. I used to volunteer regularly at my local animal shelter and because of that I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering basic medications and caring for pets with different energy levels and temperaments.
“I hired AnnMarie for an overnight sitting job. My dog is quite anxious and it takes her while to trust people. AnnMarie was able to deal with her issues and they both spent a comfortable night together. AnnMarie was great in accepting my dog's idiosyncracies for which I am very grateful. She also communicated well to put me at ease. I highly recommend AnnMarie and plan to hire her again.”
About: Raised on a ranch caring for a multitude of animals, including dog. I have lifelong experience handling dogs and training puppies. As a passionate dog lover, I enjoy combining this hands-on background with taking pups on active outdoor adventures. Daily pet care naturally fits into my routine with walks or hikes with my own dog. It perfectly complements my active lifestyle and is something I look forward to every day. I provide safe, loving care tailored to each pet's needs, maintaining their routines at home or mine, ensuring comfort, security, and frequent updates for owners.
“Kelli was amazing! After our meet and greet, I immediately had really good vibes and felt comfortable leaving Hoku in her care. She had great communication, did everything I asked and then some, and Hoku seemed so happy and at ease with her. That means everything to me! I would absolutely recommend Kelli and will definitely book with her again. 🐾💖”

“Katrina had a wonderful bond with Roxie. Roxie looked fabulous when we got home. She took such great care of Roxie and sent me pictures along with updates on how Roxie was doing while I was away. Since Katrina stayed at the house she also kept the house in pristine condition. I would definitely use Katrina again as she’s a great sitter and very trustworthy.”
“Garret has sat for us before and we would absolutely use his services again! Garret took great care of our cat, dog, and home while we were traveling. Provided updates and pictures throughout his the stay. He is super easy going, great with our animals, and a trustworthy house sitter. I would recommend Garret to anyone!”
“I am happy Kenya was able to be with my pups. We have had Kenya sit for a few over nights and each time she has been very communicative, sends picture updates and is on time. We will definitely ask her to stay with our home and pups again!”
“Gloree was communicative, professional, friendly and personable. She got along great with my dogs which is no small feat because on of our dogs is aloof. She also kept our house clean. We will be using her again!”

My cats Mr. Nardwair and Miso will watch from a distance:) My home is very welcoming to all, even those with lots of hair. We have a doggy door to the outside( medium size or small dogs only).

“Michael is outstanding. Pet sitting and pet care is his full time career and his dedication to it shows. We have used Michael for house/pet sitting on several occasions and we find him to be extremely reliable, an excellent communicator, highly responsive, and absolutely professional. Be prepared for a myriad of highly detailed questions when you first contact him - he leaves nothing to chance and wants everyone to be totally on the same page when it comes to expectations. We really appreciate that about him. For this visit, Michael stayed with our home and dog for a very long time (several weeks) while my family was vacationing. It is such a relief to know our dog and house are in great hands when we travel. I highly recommend Michael.”

About: Dogs have been an important part of my life since I got a Border Collie at age 10. Even before then I would look forward to taking care of neighbor's pets to save money to buy a dog. Ever since I got my first cat 10+ years ago they have also become an essential part of my life. I have a corgi (with a tail) named Tina and a white/gray cat named Thin Mint that I befriended as a stray. My love of animals ensures that your pet will get all the love and attention they need when in my care I have a flexible work and childcare schedule so I can adapt to meet your needs regardless of the situation. I can make time in my weekday schedule for routine check in or be available for a weekend vacation I have a car and flexible schedule and can come to your house whenever is needed. I can exercise your pet, clean their poop, feed, and love them

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ulmar
Tina and Yaritza were a dynamic duo in helping take care of our little zoo at home - fish, kitties and our very spoiled dog. They are both very gentle and calm with the animals. We got pictures and updates during the weekend and came home to happy animals and a clean house. We will be booking with Tina again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ulmar
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ulmar on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,769 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ulmar. 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 Ulmar 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 Ulmar 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 Ulmar 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.

- 95% 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.
