“Allie was great! She came over early to meet our dogs, was so friendly, outgoing and very communicative. We felt very comfortable having her house sit and will definitely hire her again. I recommend her highly!”
“We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.”
“Sydney was amazing! I contacted her last minute when we had to go out of town for a funeral. She had excellent communication - even when the power went out! She even washed the sheets and made the bed she slept in! She went above and beyond and I would 100% have her watch Zephyr and Finley again in a heartbeat!”
“She provided an exceptional dog sitting/care for my dog Zora while I was in Chicago. She stayed on top with texting me updates with her feeding and daily walks. So happy for my dog Zora to be at the comfort of her own home while I was gone! Highly recommend Lizette (Toni Jo) for your pet’s care!”
“Mikiah was great with our dogs, including our bigger dog! He left the house just as he found it, and he was responsive when we wanted to check in to see how the dogs were doing. We would definitely book with him again.”
“Corissa was great with our pups! She was also very understanding and flexible when we had last minute schedule changes. I absolutely recommend and will be rebooking with her soon! Our dogs were well cared for and loved on!”

Looking forward to taking care of your fur babies as if they were mine I recently lost my pets and the apartment I live in doesn't allow pets so I look forward to loving your fur babies as if they were my own I'm pretty flexible at dealing with animals I used to have a Australian shepherd and a Shih Tzu Chihuahua mix and two cats so I'm used to taking care of a lot of babies
About: I have about 3 years of pet-sitting experience and have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have experience staying overnight at clients’ homes, stopping by throughout the day, feeding, walking, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs, small breeds to large breeds, and even pets that are shy or not comfortable around other people. I am patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has different needs. I love getting to know each animal and making sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve! I don’t have a job so i have so much free time and love spending my free time caring for animals. I am available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays depending on my schedule. I am happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for them and their pets. I enjoy giving pets plenty of attention and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have experience caring for pets in their own homes, including overnight stays and drop-in visits. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and specific needs. I am patient with shy or nervous animals and understand the importance of keeping them in a safe, familiar environment. I always make sure pets are fed, cared for, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away.
About: Pharmacy tech, very knowledgeable and familiar with administering medication to animals.* I’ve been rescuing animals since I was 8yrs old, I have a lot experience with young animals as well as senior care. I’ve never met an animal that I wasn’t able to make comfortable and build a bond with! I’m currently a stay at home mom, my baby would be next door at my parents during boarding.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and know how to treat them with care and respect. I grew up with multiple animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to pet sit as long as it’s outside my work time (usually I work 1 or 2 days a week but other than that I’m free) I will care for your pet according to whatever instructions you give me and I will of course treat your pet with kindness and the love it deserves, just as you would.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 687 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vesta. 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 Vesta 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 Vesta 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 Vesta 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.

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.
