“I needed a last minute sitter and helen quickly made herself available to watch my dogs. She was very patient with my girl as she can be very shy! I appreciated all the videos and updates which helped reassure me that my dogs were doing fine. I highly recommend Helen and would have her sit again.”
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life growing up there was always at least 2-3 dogs around that I was taking care of, I've also taken care of tons of friends pups over the years as well, I have experience with all ages from puppies to old pups, I also have taken care of lots of cats as well, I had 4 of my own cats and 3 dogs at one point that I was taking care of. So I have tons of experience with whatever you could need! I work from home for myself so my schedule is completely open and I can accommodate animals almost anytime of the week unless I have something specific going on I like to play with the pups for about an hour at a time to get them all nice and tired out then I like to just cuddle up with the pups for a bit inside or if it's not too cold or too hot I like to bring the pups on long walks so they can explore as well!!
“This was the first time we used Jenn as our dog sitter and she was great! Our two boys, Teddy and Gus loved her! Jenn sent us lots of photos and stayed in touch with us everyday to give us updates on how they were doing, which was greatly appreciated. She was very warm, friendly, and engaging with our two frenchies when we set up a meet and greet before our trip, so we knew she was the perfect fit for our guys as soon as they met. Our house looked great when we got home too. Jenn definitely took the stress away from having to leave our boys at home for our trip. We will definitely being using her again and would highly recommend her to potential clients.”
“Alyssa did a great job watching our two dogs. She fed them and let them out according to directions and they enjoyed spending time with her. We would book her again in the future.”
“We went away on a day trip and Karla spent the day with our boys. She took such great care of them! We would definitely recommend Karla and will be working with her again in the near future!”
“Lianna is very responsible, communicative, and reliable. I booked her for a 9-day house sitting to take care of my 3 dogs while my family and I were on a vacation. She sent daily updates and pictures so I knew the dogs were getting walked and also getting quality "people time" on the couch! When we returned home, the house looked as clean if not cleaner than when we left. This was my first time hiring a house sitter and my first time using Rover, so I booked Lianna for a couple short drop-in visits so she and the dogs could get acquainted with each other before the long house sitting. I was pleased and comfortable with how she conducted herself and how she interacted with the dogs. In the past, I have boarded my dogs at the vet, but Lianna provided a better alternative at a lower price. The dogs got more exercise and more human interaction than boarding and the added benefit is that my house was being looked after as well. I highly recommend Lianna.”
“Abby was a great help while on our trip. Our animals are high maintenance and she took it in stride. Unfortunately, our dog had an upset stomach and had an accident in the house and Abby pivoted quickly to make sure he was okay.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs (and cats) for over 20 years now. Along the way, friends, and family members have trusted me with taking care of their furry friends! Including walking, feeding, bathing, training, and of course playing with them! I work a full time job with flexible hours, I take care of pets in my free time just because of my love for pets! The only required time I have is from 9am-1pm on Sundays, othere then that there should be no contentions with my schedule. In my own apartment, there is currently a cat, he is very friendly and gets along and plays with others. In most cases, I travel and care for pets at the clients house (especially for overnight and long term stays.)
“This was the first time Larissa stayed with our dog. He took to her the minute she walked through the door. He could tell she loves dogs. Larissa kept us informed of how things were going and sent several pictures. She brought some treats for him. She is very pleasant, polite, knowledgeable and friendly. We were very pleased with her and highly recommend her.”
“Lulu was amazing with Mulder, she was very observant of his needs. Provided lots of care, cuddles and play. She definitely went above and beyond. I will book with her again.”
About: I had over ten dogs growing up, both large and small, and have had three cats. All have lived to an old age and had a wonderful quality of life! I work from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday with occasional work from homes, so I can provide pet care in the early morning and/or afternoon/evening! On weekends, I am flexible! I focus on building trust and affection with pets, ensuring play time and pets are on their terms, giving space as needed! I am big on safety and keeping a watchful eye on them.
“Mark did a great job looking after our very very senior dog and our much more energetic young dog. We had good communication and clearly good care was given. Thank you Mark!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs most of my life. This is the first time since I was 6 years old that I don't have a pup to take care of. I grew up in a very pet oriented household (including cats, dogs and pet pigs). I used to volunteer with my mom at the Mohawk Humane Society so I have a lot of experience with all different kinds of dogs. I live in a great walkable neighborhood with lots of greenery trails. I do work full time so I am not available from 8am-5pm but I have a very flexible schedule on weekends and nights after 5pm. I currently work full time at a Cardiologist Practice so I am available for walks and dog sitting on weekends only. I am available after 6pm for night time dog walks as well. I live in a very walkable area with lots of trails / sidewalks that I personally enjoy walking on daily. I do not personally have any animals so I have a lot of space and attention to give to a pup.
About: I have taken care of animals for over 10 years. I worked at two doggie daycares in CT. Each were different environments such as in home and pack care. I really enjoyed building relationships with the animals and owners. It’s a passion of mine. I’m currently looking for something to offset school and life costs, I have recently decided to go back to school to study radiology. I would like something I can do around my schedule. I do work from 7am-3pm. I have three cats, I take care of them like my children. They only get the best! I would take care of your fur baby like my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ushers
Haileigh was great with our four pets! One of our dogs is diabetic and needs consistent insulin injections. She was able to navigate his health complexities with ease! Everyone seemed so happy and regulated while we were gone, and one of our cats even slept in the bed haileigh used instead of sleeping with us when we got home, lol. It's hard for me to leave my diabetic dog with anyone and trust that they'll manage his meds correctly and notice signs of his sugar being off, but Haileigh made us feel confident and unworried while we were on our trip. She even went above and beyond and texted me asking if we needed her to take our trash bins to the road when she saw our neighbors' trash out.
Gloria took fantastic care of my pup while housesitting. She provided frequent updates and was very responsive when I needed to reach out with random requests. She did a great job administering oral medication, making sure to update me that they had been given each day. She was also very patient and gentle with my very anxious pup, observing body language and adjusting as needed to keep my pup as comfortable as possible. She was very respectful of my home, and left it in great condition!
Can't speak highly enough of Mary-Kate. We have a rescue and our only here temporarily, and she's providing an immense amount of stability for him. She plays with him, feed him, walks him, and he absolutely adores her. We've never seen him this calm with anyone else.
Sarah was excellent, just wonderful. I was comfortable with her the moment I met her. It’s a crazy house with 3 dogs and 2 cats, but Sara wasn’t phased. She sent me pics throughout our trip, and I could tell that everyone was happy and well cared for. I’ll be asking her again and again, I’m sure.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ushers
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 590 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ushers. 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 Ushers 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 Ushers 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 Ushers 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.

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.
