“Lindsey was Amazing!!! She took excellent care of Cleo and my home, and didn’t mind helping with the odd task if we asked. Will definitely be looking to book with her again!”

“Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of the pack! It's comforting have a responsible person taking care of your animals while you are away. She sent photos every day of our dogs and tortoises. It was nice to have someone spend time with them at the house so they were not cooped up while we were away. Highly recommend her!”

About: I enjoy spending time with all types of animals. I can care for horses, reptiles, birds, fish, and rodents and other exotic animals. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in trauma. Currently I am wanting to make pet care full time while I am enrolled in continued training for my career. I will have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I have a small house with my pet so it would be better for me to care for your pet at your home. I am willing to bring them to my home if needed.
“Madison did an amazing job taking care of our dogs! She checked on them multiple times a day, kept us updated, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book with her again!”
About: My animal care experience comes from years of raising my own pets, pet sitting for friends, and working as a zookeeper! I have trained puppies and currently care for a senior cat. I can offer pet care and dog walks/feedings during the day and I am available to do overnight stays for pets 7 nights a week. I have cared for my senior cat Frank her entire life, and I try to keep her active and healthy by giving her a mixed diet of wet and dry food with joint supplements mixed in. I do a weekly toy rotation and groom her as needed. I am very enthusiastic about providing proper enrichment and care for pets and always treat everyone's fur babies as if they were my own.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets over the past couple of years, as well as my grandmas pets and occasionally family friends and others. I am currently working part-time at a child care facility in the evenings from 3-8pm. For the summer, I am available any day at any time other than those five hours of the evening. Even then, I am not scheduled for work every day. I like to be actively involved in caring for pets, ensuring maximum comfort and security for them! I’m extremely patient, so if your pet needs a bit of warming up first, I will provide that needed space and take things slow.
“I cannot recommend Sophie enough! We were in a huge pinch with a last-minute booking for our Teddy, during our two-day wedding event. From the start, she was an absolute professional—responding quickly and even making letting us know immediately if she's available. She provided frequent photo and message updates throughout the two days, which completely eased our nerves while we were busy with wedding festivities. She followed all care instructions perfectly, and in a last minute issue she never broke professionalism. Knowing Teddy was in capable hands allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding weekend without worrying. We returned to a happy dog who clearly was well taken care of. She truly went above and beyond for a specialty booking like this. If you need someone I highly recommend Sophie!”

“Davey is the best! I don’t know if I want to leave this review because I want him to be available whenever we need him 😆🥰 Very responsive, understanding with dogs with “issues,” wonderful with cleaning up, taking walks, and making dogs a priority. His stay with our boys was seamless. Highly recommended!”

About: We currently have 2 GSD. Our GSD are high energy and need daily walks, about 2 miles per day. We try to get them to the beach or play fetch 2ith them in the backyard daily. I was let go from my 9 to 5 back in August so I have plenty of time to take care and get to know your pets. Both of our GSDs love other dogs. Our Pug is a senior dog and is blind so he isn't concerned with other animals. He have over a half acre fenced in, so plenty of room for a dog to roam.
“Elizabeth did a great job when she stayed at our house with our dog for the weekend. We came home to a very happy and healthy pup. Our dog even looked for Elizabeth in the room she was staying in the morning after we returned home. I recommend Elizabeth for caring for your beloved pets.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including walking, feeding, and giving plenty of attention and love. I’ve also helped neighbors by dog-sitting and walking their pups when needed. I’m patient, reliable, and excited to care for your furry family member! I trained my dog Beau from puppyhood, so I’m familiar with basic commands, house training, and patience needed for young dogs. I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior dogs, including help with medication and slower-paced walks. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. On weekdays, I’m available early mornings (5:00–6:30 a.m.) and evenings after 4:30 p.m. I have mostly open availability on weekends and can provide flexible care then. I live in an apartment, so dogs in my care get regular walks and lots of attention. I walk my own dog, Beau, daily and often take him to the dog park for exercise and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to help pets feel safe and secure. I respect their space, follow all instructions, and make sure pets are comfortable and cared for. I’m always mindful of leash safety, locked doors, and keeping a calm, pet-friendly environment. Owners can trust that I’ll treat their pets and homes with the same care I give my own.

I will take care of your pet as one of my own and never use physical punishment or force. I am very flexible and can accommodate most requests. I work from home and am available most of the time especially with notice. Just let me know and we can make arrangements. Located on over 13 acres, with plenty of room to run and play and family members to offer extra love and pats. Our dogs Cooper and Eleanor are the perfect playmates and welcomes new friends. 🥰 Pretty flexible 24/7, I work from home so it is easy for me to accommodate most requests. Just shoot me a message and I will do my best to accommodate you and your pet’s schedule and needs. I recognize that play and socialization are so important to your dog’s happiness, so I ensure they get plenty of both during doggie day care.
About: I am a full time and personally insured pet sitter with experience caring for senior, neonatal, disabled, medicated, and even show animals. There is no pet I can't care for, no matter how large or small! I am a full time pet sitter, so I can work my schedule around any time needs you may have.

Your pet will be able to follow their normal routine in the comfort of their own home.
About: I’ve had animals since I was 5 yrs old, there is just something special about the connection I have with dogs, cats, horses, etc. They make the world a better place, and they are my happy place I have a part time job so I’m looking for something else I enjoy doing which is spending time with animals, feeding, sitting, walking them, playing fetch or just being a companion to the fur babies. My dad has 2 dogs, so we like to play with them in the backyard and I have a small dog and I like to sit with her in the front yard, she’s super spoiled she thinks she’s the queen of the house. We take her for walks and rides, but all of our dogs get pup cups and lots of treats

About: I have been caring for animals for many years and have experience with dogs of various sizes, ages, and temperaments and cats as well. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets while you're away. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic medications, providing companionship, and maintaining established routines. I have experience caring for both small and large dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As an educator and professional, I am responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to clear communication. I will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving excellent care. I have a completely open schedule in the summer besides the odd voice lesson and a church job on Sunday mornings that would have me gone for 2-3 hours at most. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I am committed to following your instructions carefully to ensure they receive the best possible care. I strive to create a calm, positive, and trustworthy environment where pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away. I believe in clear communication and will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I am attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and will promptly communicate any concerns. Whether caring for your pet in your home or during walks and visits, I will treat them with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I give my own animals.

Our animals are good with other animals but we will want to get them together to make sure it's a good fit if in our home. I am happy to discuss whatever your needs may be and work with you the best I can. No task is too big or small. I have enjoyed working with animals since I was young and hope to continue to do so until I am much older. Thank you for your consideration and looking forward to connecting.

My flexible availability, including mornings, evenings, and weekends, allows me to provide reliable care that fits seamlessly into your and your pet's lifestyle.

I lock all doors and windows after visits, and keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being, sending regular updates and photos for peace of mind. If I’m hosting in my home, it’s a safe, cat-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spots for lounging, secure spaces to explore, and toys for mental stimulation. I ensure a calm atmosphere with no other pets, so your cat feels safe and at ease.

FAQs for House Sitting - Vancleave
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Vancleave on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 193 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vancleave. 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 Vancleave 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 Vancleave 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 Vancleave 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 Vancleave. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
