About: Hi there! I’m Kristin, a lifelong pet owner and animal lover! Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and there’s nothing I love more than having a furry friend curled up beside me. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home, with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’ll treat your fur baby like one of my own! My home has a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to safely run, play, and explore. I also love going on walks and am always happy to slow down for those important sniffing adventures! I can also accommodate drop-in visits/walks as well as overnight stays. I know how much you’ll miss your pet, so I’ll send plenty of photos and videos to keep you updated and give you peace of mind. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or simply snuggle on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your furry friend the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for overnight boarding, drop-in visits, walks, and whatever else you may need throughout the week. I can work around your pet’s normal feeding and care routine. My animals are the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing I think of before I go to bed. I always make sure that their needs are met and give them lots of love, attention and playtime.
About: I’m a mom to 4 rambunctious children and 1 kid friendly chihuahua(14) and 1 loving husky pit mix(1). When most people meet my dog they are surprised at how friendly he is and how good he is with our young children. We used to have two dogs but we had to put older one down due to seizures and brain issues. In high school I worked in an army veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant for a cooperative work experience program. My original plan in life was to be a veterinarian but after having to assist with some tough cases I decided just being a good pet owner and caregiver was more my speed. I’m a full time stay at home mom and love playing with my dogs and kids in my spare time. I’d love to help you care for your fur baby as well. I’m pretty flexible. I’m home days once I get my kids get off to school during the day. In the evenings and on weekends I take them to their respective practices or games but that doesn’t mean I don’t have time to care for and give your fur baby some love as well. I like to take my fur babies for about a mile walk in the morning and then my younger pup will go on another half mile walk with me in the after noon. My older guys stays home and chills but he gets lots of love and snuggles at home.
“Ashton was quick to respond for a last minute dog watching request while we were visiting in Atlanta. She babysit our dog in a hotel room while we went to a concert. I received ample updates and photos throughout the night, and the room was just like we left it when we returned . Thank you!”
“Neisha is fantastic and we won't hesitate to use her in the future. Our dog absolutely loved her and she took great care of him and our home while we are out of town. Thank you!”
“Joey did an amazing job petsitting our dog and cat during our vacation. Our dog is elderly, so she is slow to warm up to new people and requires a lot of extra care, including daily medications. He was incredibly patient with her and provided excellent care. Our cat loved him so much I began to worry she might be disappointed when we got home! 😂 Joey provided lots of photos and updates about both pets every day. It was a huge relief to know they were both taken care of. We highly recommend Joey!”
“Bryan is a great dog sitter! He takes care of your pups when you can't be there and follows their schedule, and is mindful of your home and keeps it clean. Would definitely recommend if your looking for a dog sitter!”
“John is very professional and patient. Our sensitive boy is challenging to handle and John adapted to our dog's preference and giving him enough time, also tried several ways to build trust. Although our boy didn't accept him right away I believe it is only a matter of time our boy will open his mind. The time spent and the understanding shared towards our special boy are much appreciated.”
“We were so sad when we found out our wonderful pet sitter was moving away and were worried that we would have trouble finding someone who would care for and love our dogs like she did. We reached out to Summer mainly because she has great reviews and we are very glad we did. She came to stay with our pups for the first time. She made sure she was there with them most of the time we were gone. She sent regular photo updates and it was reassuring to see how much our pups felt comfortable with her. It really set my mind at ease. I definitely recommend reaching out to Summer if you need someone who will treat your furbabes like her own.”
About: I have a genuine love for dogs and have always enjoyed caring for them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. I understand that every dog is different. Some love long walks and playtime, while others are happiest relaxing, getting belly rubs, and having someone nearby. I take the time to get to know each dog and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. When your dog is in my care, I treat them like part of the family. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise, medications or special instructions, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. I also believe communication with the owner is extremely important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away. My goal is simple: to give your dog the same love, attention, and care I would want someone to give my own dog. 🐶❤️ Im currently semi retired. I actually work less than 10 hours a week. So I can pet sit for your cat & dog 24/7 & holidays. I can also pick them up & drop them off for a $25 dollar travel fee. Great for people who are going to the airport. (Maximum 20 minute drive) I have a fenced in yard with green grass, trees & lots of squirrels🥳 I have a bag of tennis balls & a built in shadow chaser on my deck. My dog Zoey loves it‼️ (Think laser pointer) So your baby will get lots of sunlight & excercise. I also live in a very quiet neighborhood with very little traffic. That’s great for walks. I will be more than happy to supply pics, videos & updates during their stay. It’s a nice reassurance that your fur baby is being spoiled by myself while your away.
“It was a pleasure to work with Judith. Communicated very well. Will certainly employ again. That she brings the skills and experience of working in the veterinary field was a big comfort.”
“Sabrina was a wonderful pet sitter .She has enough experience with animals and works well with my pets. She gave my dog medicine and did wound care ! Cleaned the house !! Great pet sitter .”
“My girls loved Donne. She stayed with them for 8 nights and did a fantastic job. She left the house spotless and even vacuumed! I would highly recommend Donne for any pet needs. Since we found her we are planning more excursions knowing we have a new loving and caring “family member “!!”
“Great with my dogs, cats, and lizards!! Yes, lizards! Alicia sent photos and videos every day several times a day while we took our kids to Chicago for the long weekend. We booked house sitting, and boy, she really did house sit! She even vacuumed, did dishes, and took out the trash for us. Really appreciate her and WILL be booking again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Vandiver Heights is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $73 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Vandiver Heights 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 Vandiver Heights 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 Vandiver Heights 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
