About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am! I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and breeds, and I’m happy to help with walking, playing, feeding, brushing, and providing plenty of love and attention. I also have experience administering various types of pet medications, including oral, topical, and ear medications. I’m comfortable following your pet’s specific care routine to help them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve helped care for the furry family members of friends, relatives, and neighbors. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’ll do my best to make sure your pets receive the same patience, love, and care I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐶🐱❤️ I am currently a full time nursing student, but have availability pretty much anytime after 3pm throughout the week besides Saturday! Please feel free to message if you have any questions! My home offers a calm, low-stimulation environment in a cozy apartment with one resident cat, providing a peaceful space for pets who are comfortable around other cats. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to respect their home, follow their preferences, and maintain their pets’ established routines. I strive to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and owners by providing attentive, reliable care and ensuring each pet’s needs are met efficiently and thoughtfully.

About: There has not been a time in my life that I didn't own or live with a four-legged friend. I have always had a passion for caring for animals and learning about their unique, fun personalities. I am organized, flexible, and friendly. I'm a full time school counselor looking to make some extra money during my downtime - summer break, evenings, and weekends. Currently, I am available for all pet services except for boarding in my home. I have my own senior pup and two young human children at home, so I like to stay busy! My schedule fluctuates with my fulltime job. I do get an extended break over the summer and have a lot of availability! I have a senior pup and two human children at home- caring for others is what I truly enjoy!! We LOVE to be outside! I don't have the space in my own home to host another pet. Depending on your location, I have lots of outdoor toys to play fetch and other activities! Long walks are my jam and I am able to walk multiple dogs at a time, if the need arises! I have experience with all types of dogs and cats and can feed them as you need and administer medication.

About: Hi! My name is Micah and I would love to take care of your dog or dogs! I have three rescues of my own and they are the sweetest, most adventurous dogs! My mom has always had dogs, so I’ve been helping take care of our pets from a very early age! I love taking our dogs on hikes, car rides, and walks. We are an active family! I work part time during the weekdays, but I’m always home 5 out of the 7 days! I have mostly open availability on the weekends so go enjoy a mini vacay :) I’ve worked for a rescue and also a pet supplies store. I would love to hear from you and I can’t wait to discuss what you need to feel at ease while you’re away from home! I’m currently working part time and am home 5 out of the 7 days with my children. I can easily come over and take care of your dogs when my schedule is open. I have a fenced in yard and monitor when our dogs are outside. I love playing with your dogs and ensuring they’re getting their energy out. I love all animals and I would do anything that would make them feel the most safe/loved.

“Corletta came for a meet and greet and we all hit it off wonderful. By the time she left my puppy was snuggled in her arms contented. I had no reservations about leaving my young puppy for the first time overnight. Corletta kept me informed throughout my trip and sent me a picture too. Top rate service and I will not hesitate to rebook her the next time I need to go away.”

“Alexis was amazing with Brody and Marco while doing house sitting at my place. She was prompt and took the time needed for both of my dogs since they both have different needs. She gave the medications as instructed and gave my boy Marco the extra time he needs due to his past and getting comfortable with people. She even did extra things I didn’t ask her to do. Thank you so much Alexis and I will definitely be in touch again when I need someone!”

About: I’m a genuine dog lover who enjoys caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether you’re busy, traveling, or just need an extra hand, I’m happy to help give your dog the love and attention they deserve. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I truly enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to help others feel at ease knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. I work at home so I do 24/7 care. My world is surrounded with dogs, I just love them so I work with them and everyday it's a blast. I have a wonderful 2 acre backyard that's fenced for my fuzzy guests to stretch their legs and enjoy a park all to themselves. I spend my hours outside working on little projects so your baby's will get to just relax or play to their heart's content and then after a long day I like to end it with cuddles and movie on the couch.

About: Hello. I’m Kat, and I am an experienced sitter who's been taking care of homes and pets through Trusted Housesitters for nearly two years now. At this time, I have 18 recent sits under my belt. I am former membership director of a nonprofit for writers, and these days I’m traveling in my van, house/pet sitting, and working on my own writing. I love animals and grew up in the country with 14 outdoor cats and 3 different dogs. I sat for a lot of professors as a grad student and thought it would be fun to return to that as an experienced adult who has owned her own home and raised two children. As I am looking for home/pet sitting gigs, and I work from home, I have a lot of flexibility to spend time with and caring for your pets. 3-4 hours a day can be spent on pets, home, and indoor and outdoor plants, etc. I do whatever the pet owner does in their home, including cuddles, feeding, brushing, scooping, meds if needed, plus house care, and of course treats!

FAQs for House Sitting - Verona

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 428 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Verona. 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 Verona 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 Verona 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 Verona 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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
