“Theresa will go above and beyond to make sure your home and animals are safe. Our pups love and trust her. We’re so grateful to have met her. We will 100% book again.”
“Lance and his wife were the perfect house and dog and cat sitters we could ask for! They really cared for our pets and left our house as clean if not cleaner then they found it! They kept us up to date with photos and messages to assure us that all was well with our pets. They will help give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in good company while you are away.”
About: I grew up around all types of pets, from dogs to birds to lizards to cats. For as long as I've known, I've fed bearded dragons crickets and ran alongside happy pups. I absolutely love animals, and am happy and willing to work within any routines and structures pre-set for your pets. As a recent college graduate, my time is very flexible - I'm available for whenever you need me. I'm dedicated to clear and open communication about my time. Providing you and your pet with the least stressful pet care experience possible is my goal. I'd love to meet your pet, learn their routines, quirks, and learn anything that's required for their care and your peace of mind.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs and worked in many different animal atmospheres from rescues, humane societies, to Grooming salons and Boarding facities. I have been a reliable contact for family, friends, and have acquired clients from previous jobs. I have been a pet owner for over 15 years and have plenty of experience with care taking, administering medications, and just loving our fur babies!!! I Pets and Animals ate my passion. I would live to grow and expand to really center my work life around pets and making them feel lo ed or tending to them while Mom and Dad are away. I will follow any detailed instructions i may get for any pet. I do not have fenced in area so that is the main reason I want to travel to clients homes. I have used a leash and or lead to keep dogs in yards as well. I will do whatever a pet parent needs.
“Linda is excellent! I have never used an in home sitter, and had a really GREAT experience with Linda. She came over in advance to meet me, meet the dogs (I have 3), and get the lay of the land with the house and back yard. I really appreciated the time she took (free of charge) to do this. Upon meeting her, I knew she was the right choice for me and my dogs. I got very lucky, as she was my first contact. I could tell Linda could easily manage 3 dogs (which sometimes feels like 100). Linda showed up as promised, minimized time away from dogs, provided great photos, videos and updates. She’s someone you could definitely count on should something happen while you are away. Bottom line. She knows how to handle animals, an home and has a very calm and kind demeanor. I could tell by the videos, that my dogs loved their time with her. Highly recommend Linda!”

I also have 2yr old and 10m old girls but go with their dad on the weekends. I work from home but leave a couple times a week for meetings!

“Rachel’s flexibility and going above and beyond for me and Diamond both has been invaluable. I didn’t have to worry about her at all while I was gone. So grateful I found her !”
“I needed an in-house dog sitter on short notice, and Traci did a great job. She came over before I left and met Marcie and Spike. Marcie is 14 years old and has several meds every day, plus a special diet, and she got just what she needed. My trip lasted a week, and I had no worries at all. Highly recommend!”
“Terri was an amazing dog sitter! We were away camping with limited access to our phones, so I was super glad to have a responsible and reliable person to watch the dogs. When Terri met our dogs, it was clear she had experience with excited dog personalities. She was super respectful of our home and we came home to happy and healthy dogs. I look forward to booking her again!”
“Paloma is wonderful! Our dogs love her and love being able to stay at home when we’re away. She communicates regularly and we would definitely love to book with her again!”

“Jack and Kate housesat for us while we were gone for a week. It was our first time having sitters home with our two dogs while we were gone, and it was a great experience. Jack communicated with us frequently, sending photos and letting us know how the dogs were adjusting. One of ours can get pretty anxious, and Jack and Kate went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe, comfortable and happy.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Underwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 611 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Underwood. 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 Underwood 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 Underwood 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 Underwood 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.
