Sarah was great with my senior dog and was able to stay at my place, take him on walks, feed him daily, etc. Would definitely recommend and use her again. Communication was easy and she sent photos during my entire time away. Thanks Sarah!

Rachel was wonderful with our cats and took care of our home while we were away for a week. The cats warmed up to her quickly and remained calm with her. Rachel left our home clean and followed instructions. A situation arose at the house while she was at work. She acted quickly and went above and beyond to take care of our babies. Rachel was very communicative and sent pictures each day. We would highly recommend her!

Heather did an excellent job watching my pups! She went above and beyond taking care of them and my house. I just moved into a new home and she even helped clean/unpack some and it was truly appreciated! I would definitely use her again and trust she would do a great job!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a farm where I care for my horse and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Animal Science. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra patience and attention, you can trust that they will receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care with me. Pet care is woven into my life through work, farm responsibilities, and animal science studies, giving me hands-on experience and compassion for animals each day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels secure while you’re away. Every pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, trustworthy, and capable hands.

Erica was prompt, reliable and sweet to our two small pups. We received regular communication from her with photos. The moment we met her we felt confident that our puppies (who are like babies to us) would be well cared for and she exceeded our expectations. I recommend her for sure! Thank you, Erica!

About: ****Why are my prices lower than most sitters?**** I am looking to establish myself here, get regular customers and of course earn 5 star reviews! So take advantage of my rates before they go up! I’m Matt and I am a medically retired Los Angeles County Sherriff Officer. I am available most days and I do my best to be very flexible. I am obviously a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to four wonderful dogs—from a gentle Great Dane mix to a spirited little but old Chiweenie, an old grump Beagle mix, and a high energy talk your leg off Blue Healer mix. Living with such a fun and diverse pack has given me a deep understanding of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. But my heart doesn’t stop at dogs—I’ve also had the joy of sharing my life with cats, and I truly enjoy working with them too. i have had several cats in the past and know they have a wide range of personalities and quirks. Whether your cat is outgoing, shy, playful, or independent, I know how to earn their trust and make them feel safe and loved in your absence. Whether you have a couch-loving kitty, a high-energy pup, or a full fur family, I bring calm, caring, and attentive support tailored to your pet’s needs. What you can expect from me: -Consistent, on-time care with thoughtful updates and plenty of photos -Genuine affection, one-on-one attention, and enrichment activities -Experience handling pets with unique routines, medication needs, or senior care -A calm and respectful presence in your home, plus basic household tasks as needed I know how hard it can be to leave your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—because that’s what I’d want for mine. Whether you’re away for the weekend or an extended trip, I’ll make sure your pets are happy, well cared for, and loved. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to connect and see how I can help! My furry fuzz balls are my family. I’m already up early feeding, walking, and playing with my own four dogs, and I make time throughout the day to check in, interact, and keep them comfortable. Because animals are already such an important part of my everyday routine, caring for your pets fits right in. Whether it’s morning drop-ins, midday play breaks, or evening check-ins, I structure my schedule around what your pets need most. I’m organized, flexible, and always make sure each visit is calm, unrushed, and full of attention—just like I would want for my own pets. I am a medically retired Los Angeles County Sherriff Officer so you can feel at ease that I am respectful of your home, property and your fur babies at all times. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine and environment to reduce stress and keep them happy, loved and secure. I follow your instructions closely—from feeding and medication schedules to favorite toys, walking routes, and cuddle preferences—so your pet gets consistent, personalized care. Each visit is more than just a check-in. I take time to connect with your pet, offer affection, play, and enrichment, and keep an eye on their behavior and well-being. I’m calm, respectful, and tidy in your space, and I ALWAYS keep you updated with photos and notes so you feel confident and connected while you're away.

Kimberly did an excellent job of house sitting our 3 furbabies. She is very pet friendly and loves them as if they were her own. Kimberly maintained excellent, prompt and professional daily communications with us. Kimberly followed all the instructions given to her at a high level of detail and asked questions if needed. Kimberly took excellent care and was very attentive to our furbabies needs during severe thunderstorms. Kimberly is a very professional, caring, respectful, loving person. We will definitely have Kimberly house sit our furbabies again. We highly recommend Kimberly for caring and sitting for your pets.

Karen is amazing! Every one of our dogs love her - even the two grumpy old men :) She was patient and kind and let the shy ones come around slowly - the others trusted her immediately. Karen was conscientious about our home and cleaned up all the messes! We will definitely ask Karen to come back :)

About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.

About: I have several years of experience pet sitting as well as working as a veterinary technician for three years in the Houston area. I have grown up around animals all my life and dogs are absolutely my favorite animals! I have two of my own, one of which I've had since 2010 when he was a little puppy around 10 weeks old. I nursed him back to health when he had parvovirus! My other is a smaller rescue dog I adopted in 2017 who originally tested positive for heartworm disease but now he has been heatworm free for about two years! I am currently working a full time Monday through Friday job, but I do have weekends free and evenings. I also can get Fridays off most of the time if needed. I have been at my current job for almost 7 years so my bosses are very negotiable and I am generally able to adjust my schedule with advance notice. I will play with your pups, cuddle, take them on walks, and even to the dog park with your approval! I have a smaller dog of my own who loves to play with other dogs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Van

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 162 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Van. 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 Van 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 Van 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 Van 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Van. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
