“This was our initial time using Rover. We are very particular with our fur babies. Kristina was very welcoming and assuring. We had a meet and greet with just her and then with our girls. I left having every confidence in her ability. We were gone for a week and she sent daily photos and updates. She treated our girls like her own. We will definitively be using her services again, and I highly recommend her. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I currently help raise 4 dogs. I’m very reliable on feeding, bathing and potty breaks. I’m available all through the week and weekends so just talk to me about the days I can work with you with my care and assistants. I’ll have all the time in the world to play with your fur babies. And Will give them all the love and attention. I provide attentive, compassionate and reliable care for every pet as if they were my own. In the clients home i will make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medication instructions, and special care they require. I also keep their environment clean, monitor their behavior for any signs of illness or stress, and communicate with owners by providing updates and photos so they know their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal to ensure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved while their owner is away.
“Destiny not only tells you how much she loves animals, she shows you. Extremely communicative and professional, punctual too, even when you tell her she doesn't have to be. I HIGHLY recommend her, and will be using her services for as long as she'll allow!”
“Sophie was great. She came over ahead of time to meet my dogs and get the rundown. She communicated well and sent update photos. She left my house very tidy, even washed and changed my bed sheets. I would definitely use her again. Thank you so much!”
About: Over the years, I've taken care of a few different animals. I've watched chickens, horses, dogs, and cats for my grandparents while they were away. I've also had experience with dogs with disabilities. I have two German Shepherds; one is blind, and the other has joint issues. My love for my pets is infinite, and I promise I'll share that love with your pets. My future pursuit is to study veterinary medicine. I work at an animal hospital from 8am to 5:30pm. My weekends annd evenings after work are free giving me an opportunity to spend all day with your fur babies. Your pet safety is a priority. In no way will I put your pet in any danger, I’ll do as you instruct, I’ll follow your food guidelines, medicine, etc. as for your home I do not plan on doing anything other than what you tell me to do, I won’t go in places I’m not allowed and if I make a mess somewhere I’ll immediately clean it up. In conclusion I will treat your home like it’s my own and I will most definitely love your dog and care for them the way I love and care for mine.
“We couldn’t be happier with our pet sitter! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and sweet with all of our pets. From the beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable knowing that our animals were in such loving and capable hands. Charlie was our biggest concern because she can be a little sensitive and needs extra patience and attention, but our sitter went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved. She took the time to understand Charlie’s personality and needs, gave her so much care and affection, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also wonderful with our cats, making sure they were cared for, comfortable, and getting the attention they needed. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like family. She was reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely kind. We are so grateful for the care she gave Charlie, our cats, and our home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Vashti
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 331 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vashti. 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 Vashti 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 Vashti 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 Vashti 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.

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.
