She great care of the animals, including my roommates pup. She sent pictures which made us feel great and took care of the home. We appreciate the care that was put into looking after the furbabies. Will use Monica again!”
About: Hello. I have been trusted with pets and home care since Elementary school, and I grew up with dogs, parakeets, hamsters and guinea pigs in the home. In my eagle scout project I led 30+ volunteers in a car wash / door-to-door donation collection for the local animal shelter to supply them with Kuranda dog beds and other supplies. I certified in the following: Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid, and PSI's Pet First Aid & CPCR for Pet-Care Professionals. Links to the certifications can be received on request. I work a hybrid role in information technology, potentially moving to a fully remote position. As such I saw a great opportunity to take care of pets while working remotely and continue doing what I've enjoyed for the last 15 years. 3 of my shifts are in-person and they are each 7-hr night shifts. I look forward to being of service. I am in a hybrid role, potentially moving into a fully remote role. I work 7-hr shifts 3 times a week, Wednesday - Friday 11pm - 6am, and would otherwise be available for working remotely from the pet's home and maintaining a lived-in presence for home security. I have taken care of large dogs, small dogs, chickens, cats and grown up with parakeets, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I maintain a lived-in presence by running small errands such as taking out trash, taking in mail, and adjusting lights.
“Raquel was extremely professional and is a natural when it comes to taking care of our cats. They opened up to her on the first day, and she sent us daily photos. We would strongly recommend booking her if you’re looking a a solid sitter with a great heart.”
“Jonah did an amazing job watching our dogs at our house while we were on vacation! He kept us updated and the dogs were happy and the house looked untouched when we returned! I would highly recommend him to everyone!!!”
About: I’ve been around animals since I was born. I have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I’m a veteran who enjoys spending time with animals as they resonate with me and give me peace. I’m here to give your family the same love and attention that I give mine. I have 2 dogs of my own, Bear and Milo! I’m flexible with your schedule. I’m a Ranger part time and own my own business so I’m able to navigate your time. I work around your schedule and however best you would like me to help. I live full time in an RV so I have to take extra care of my animals to ensure they are getting enough walks and always on leash. I’m very comfortable with animals and ensuring that they are living their best life!
“Incredibly impressed with Tyler! We’ve had many house/catsitters and Tyler clearly stands above them all. Everything from his communications, check-ins, level of care, attention to detail, cleanliness, organization, and how much he loves animals in unmatched! Don’t hesitate having Tyler help you!”
About: I grew up caring for many dogs and have raised, trained, and loved dogs of my own, including a litter of puppies. We’re experienced at puppy training, potty training, crate training, and socialization among other things. We have experience with “runners” (dogs that love to bolt out the front door any chance they get) and have a fully-enclosed yard as well as a gated front door. We have dog-loving children so your dog will receive lots of attention and snuggles and playtime. We live directly behind a large park for walks and adventures. Both my husband and I are home during the day, so your dog will have care and companionship while at our home. We also have several kids eager to snuggle and play with your dog. Safety is our top priority. Our home is dog-proofed and puppy-proofed. We have a clean, safe home free from the foods and items that can endanger dogs. We have a fully-fenced yard, puppy-proofed main floor, kids to play with, and a full park right behind our house for walks and extra playtime. Our dog sleeps in a crate at night, and roams free inside and outside during the day. Your dog can do the same. We are eager to maintain the same routines that help your dog feel happy and at ease.
“Madelyn was great and left the house very clean and organized while we were away! She took my dog out and bathed him without being asked and sent regular updates. I would recommend her!”
About: I have a retired service dog, and can do both sitting at your home and boarding at mine. I have watched both small and large dogs, as well as cats, reptiles, and rodents. I use to work at a farm with horses, and know my way around critters both great and small. I can provide outdoor baths if the weather is above 60 degrees, and some light training if wanted. I am in college taking classes from 10 to 1, and also work as a janitor for a school, working from 4 to 7. I am not home on Sunday mornings for about 2 hours, due to church, so any dogs will need to be OK being home alone either in a crate or loose in a room for that time period. I have my retired service dog, Wiley, who is very friendly with other dogs. I have a indoor grass patch that dogs can use, as well as the lead line i can put them out on. I am not able to walk very well, so can't do long walks, but I have a good arm and can throw a ball for 20 minutes several times a day, in the park near my house. I can provide a hose bath provided the temperature is above 60 degrees, and can use my large car to go to dog parks. Dogs are allowed on the bed, but will sleep in a crate if that is how they sleep at home. I have bones for dogs to chew on, and plenty of toys. I dont allow balls in the house, my dog has learned how to throw them himself to chase.
“Aubrey was so helpful house sitting my dog. She was dependable, kept me updated, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. My dog was happy and well cared for when I returned. I’ll definitely be rebooking with Aubrey again when I’m out of town!”
“My dog Lilo absolutely loves Kendra. It is so comforting to know that your pet is well taken care of while you are away on vacation. Pet sitting or housesitting, I would book her again and again.”
“Alaina is the BEST! She took such good care of our little boy while we were gone and sent us daily updates. She spoiled him with lots of walks and treats and even gave him a bath (which is no small feat). When we got home the house was clean and our dog was so happy. We’ll definately have her back soon!”
About: I’ll go the extra mile to make your pets smile! Whether your pet is ready for an adventure or prefers a cozy, relaxed day, I’ll happily match their energy and give them the attention, care, and love they deserve. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away! I’m happy to help morning or night and will work with your pet’s routine and needs. I have open availability. Your pet is my priority, and I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve!

I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and pay close attention to their individual needs. I’m also happy to send pictures during walks or playtime as a fun little check in, so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away!
About: I got my first dog when I was five, and have loved taking care of animals ever since then. I don’t have training with puppies or senior animals, but I am attentive to your dogs needs. I am a college student and don’t have class Friday-Sunday. I can stay with your dog and work from home on the weekends which can give you some peace of mind about them being lonely or anxious. I’m also available to take them outside! I love to play outside and can do work from home so it’s easy for me to keep your dog company and take them out to potty. I’m super friendly with animals as well!
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was in middle school! I’m very responsible and make sure your pet gets the care they need! I also trained our families dog when we rescued her. I work full time as a dental assistant, but only 3-4 days a week. I’m looking to dog sit on weekends, or walks after 5 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. I had dogs in my house growing up, and can easily read signals on what they need. I can brush, feed, walk, play with, etc. daily. Whatever the dog’s schedule or routine is, I can easily follow that! I can also tidy up the house if it’s an overnight stay for no extra charge!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,988 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vivian Park. 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 Vivian Park 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 Vivian Park 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 Vivian Park 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.
