“Stefanie was amazing to work with! She is great at communicating about how your pets are doing and sends lots of photo updates that will help put your mind at ease while you're away from your pets. A few random issues cropped up with our pets while Stefanie was with them and she was great about keeping us updated, and I was confident that she was taking the best possible care of them. Our dog loved spending a weekend with Stefanie and I'm sure yours will too!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter Margaret! She took excellent care of my dog, Otto, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved while I was traveling. I really appreciated the regular updates with pictures and great communication—it gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, kind and caring pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs almost my entire life. I’ve taking care of family and neighbors dogs and it’s the best part of my day! Im currently working part time and I have plenty of extra time to take care of someone dog(s) for them. I want to help others out and this is something I would really enjoy doing! I have a dog and I walk him on nice days in my neighborhood after work and I play with him out in my back yard with a few of his favorite toys so he gets exercise.
About: I've house sat, walked and cared for dogs ever since I was 14. My coworkers, neighbors and their friends are returning customers due to high detailed and enthusiastic care. I always tell people I will take care of your pets faster than your kids lol. Hi im currently working a part time job so depending on my schedule I can spend time with your furry friend before or after my shift. I follow clients pet plans with feedings, walkings and medications if needed. I will work with you on any adjustments you need for your fur baby.
About: If you have an athletic or active dog, we are the hosts for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), running the trails, and swimming in a Lake will happen every day. If your dog is less active, we can bring our activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I have a very open schedule. Usually I go to the park go with my family who enjoy the day doing things outside the house. If you have a last minute appointment or you need anything on the same day I do take them I have a very open schedule one works in the morning and the other one works in the afternoon so your pet will never be alone. I had pets before they pass away. We used to love our pets so much. We took CPR classes and emergency classes for pets just in case.
“Dawn was amazing!!! Im so glad I found her. This was my first time using the service and couldn't be happier. Oreo was well taken care of, socialized and even had a spa day. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and Oreo absolutely loves Dawn. I definitely trust Dawn in my home and with my dogaughter Oreo.”
“Janice was so helpful during our last minute trip to Rhinebeck! My very anxious pup was left alone in a new place during a thunderstorm and Janice made sure he was as comfortable as possible. Wish I lived closer so I could utilize her services more often. Highly recommend!”
“The second time Christine stayed with Suki, my kitty was totally comfortable with her. Watching the two of them upon my return home, I could see there was a real bond between them. Beyond ensuring a pet's physical needs are being met, its emotional well-being is the most important and most challenging thing a pet sitter needs to provide for. I am happy that I can be away from home knowing that Suki will be cared for and contented in her own space with someone she trusts and loves. Christine kept me well informed with updates and photos while I was away, too, which kept ME happy!”
“Karla is a gentle and kind animal whisperer. Our pup was immediately calmed by her energy. From his daily med routine, to even feeding him by hand when he put up a “my humans are traveling fight” she cared for him with grace and love. AND we got daily pics.”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats for families and friends, I know how to read body language and know when I've crossed boundaries. I always have patience for animals. I'm working part time so I have a lot of time available to work with pets, check in on them, and stay with them if needed. I am totally available for overnights, I'm a night owl so I can always check in with a pet and take care of them.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Iliana take care of my two dogs and my cat while I was away for a few days. Her service was nothing short of exceptional, and I could not be more pleased with the care my pets received. Iliana's attention to detail and genuine love for animals were evident from the start. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. One of the highlights of my experience was how well Iliana communicated with me during my trip. She sent regular updates and photos, which provided great peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away without any worries. I highly recommend Iliana to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Her professionalism and dedication truly stand out. I hope to be lucky enough to use her services again in the future.”
About: I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet behind, so my goal is to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m calm, attentive, and great at sticking to routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I provide a safe, loving environment they can relax in. I currently am a student from home so I have more than enough time to take care of your furry companion while you are away. I used to walk my dog around my neighborhood sometimes to the river If it’s really nice out just get her some fresh air. Proper feeding times and bathroom breaks.
“5 stars!! Thank you Alina for taking care of our French Bulldog, Cooper. Alina provided lots of updates with photos and videos, was super flexible, and I could tell Cooper was having a great time - I think he has a new best friend. We are normally quite anxious about leaving Coops but we felt totally relaxed knowing he was in great hands. Not only this but Alina left the apartment immaculate which was lovely to return home to after travelling. We will certainly be asking Alina to look after Coopie again. Thank you!”
“Christina has taken care of my dogs twice so far - once during the day and once overnight. She is friendly, responsible, knowledgable, and caring. She was great about staying in touch and keeping me updated. She managed walking, feeding, and medication. My dogs were happy and relaxed when I returned, so I know she took great care of them! I will definitely hire her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have three dogs at my parents house that I care for regularely when my parents need me to and I love it. I’ll come with treats and if your dog has any dietary restrictiond please let me know :) I’m currently working for Arc Midhudson on thurs-Sun at the moment! Sometimes there is variation in that schedule but that it for the most part :) I have a medical condition that may make me have to re schedule appointments but hopefully we can work together on it !! I could teach your dogs some basic tricks like sit and I am a good leash handler. I carry around a fanny pack with my dog stuff in it so it’s hands free and accessible for me.
“Maria is extremely well qualified to take care of your beloved pet. She took very good care of Tika while we were away for a long weekend Tika is an anxious active dog who craves affection and exercise and Maria provided both. We felt very confident that our home and our beloved hound were safe while Maria was in charge. Maria was also willing to take care of putting out seeds for the birds in the garden (this chilly weekend very important) and went to the extra effort to make sure Tika got long walks and made sure to have her wear a jacket and harness! When we returned of course Tika was happy to see us but she also clearly had bonded with Maria We we’re lucky Maria had availability and hope we can book her again the next time we leave town and can’t bring Tika”
About: Hello fellow animal lovers, I have experience with pet sitting many animals (even up to 4+ in one household). I am capable of playing with, feeding, watering, and caring for your pets. I have lots of patience and love being around animals. I love meeting many lovable pups and kitties as I don’t have any of my own yet. I would take care for your lovely pets as you would yourself. I’m usually flexible with time, though I have another full time job as well. I am looking for forward to caring for your pets to interact and learn more about different breeds and well as help me make a little extra money for my education! Thank you so much for considering me! My work has me off one week at a time and most every Friday night to Sunday early morning. I can be home with them majority of the day as needed or take them on long walks and hikes as I love to do that in my own free time. I maintain a clean living space and provide enjoyable interactions with pets both inside and outside the home. When leaving the house I make sure to go through a checklist of things needed to be done to make sure the house is exactly as I found it. Harnesses and leashes always put on to go outside, doors locked and pets in protected spaces they need to be when I have to say goodbye.
“Anna was so great at communicating with us during our trip. She sent daily pics of our pets and I could tell was extremely affectionate with them both. Our house was immaculate when we returned as well so it was like she left no footprint besides 2 happy and well loved pets. We would happily have Anna pet sit for us again! She was wonderful.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 824 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Verbank. 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 Verbank 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 Verbank 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Verbank 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
