About: Hi there! I've been a dog sitter for going on 10 years, mostly for close family and friends but I'm looking to branch out. I love spending time with furry friends and when the weather's nice I enjoy getting them outside for play or walks. I'm a trustworthy sitter and I've even been tasked with giving dogs medicine or shots and have even taken dogs on routine vet visits while their parents are away. I work 3 days a week (Monday, Tuesday and Saturday) so I have 4 days where I can play and spend quality time with the pet(s) I'm watching. I try to keep the pet(s) routine as close to normal as I can in their home. I know it can be stressful when their parents are gone and I want it to be a comfortable situation for not only the pet but for the parents as well.
“Taylor is reliable, kind, timely, and an excellent dog sitter. He took wonderful care of our home and dogs while we were gone. He’s very communicative and left our house clean and tidy. We will absolutely be having Taylor return and highly recommend.”
“This was a huge step for me to trust someone with not only my guys but my home. Jenn understood my concerns and made a special trip down for a meet and greet. She sent multiple updates during the day and her pictures showed how relaxed Brady was with her. She left the house spotless, and I had a very happy dog when I got home. I definitely recommend her, and I look forward to her sitting again when needed.”
“We were pleased with Kiernan's care of our dog in our home. She followed our instructions, left our home in great shape, and even laundered her sheets and remade the bed. She took our dog on two walks per day, as we requested, in spite of rain and windy weather. She stayed in contact with us, sending photos and notes on Chiqui. We appreciated the great job she did, and we would hire Kiernan and Jay again.”
“My baby Charlie(Ragdoll cat) spent 4 days and 3 nights with Jen. I loved and appreciated the pictures she sent each day. Another thing I appreciated so much was the note she left my friend and myself. She is very kind and humble, and I believe took really good care of Charlie. I’ll be calling Jen again.”
“Gema was so accommodating with my schedule. I booked last minute, she came for a meet and greet, listened with intent to care instructions, and provided me with lots of photos and updates. Gave medications to my elder dog and gave lots of attention to the playful pup. Would book again. 12/10”
About: I LOVE LOVE ANIMALS!!! I have a great passion for pet care and personally understand what its like wanting to make sure they are safe, doing well and have everything they need while you are away. I would love to assist with taking them for walks, feeding them or cleaning the litter box. I'm also okay with cleaning up behind them if they should have an accident. In addition, I would be more than happy to give them some playtime while creating a new friendship. Since I am mobile, I would come to you so that your pet would be more at ease with me while already being comfortable in their own home whether it's in the daytime or nighttime.(Overnights available on Sun, Mon, Tues).Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you need that special someone you can trust with your fur babies. I'm excited to make some great new furry friends! You won't be disappointed! Thank you in advance for the opportunity :) I'm available to provide services daily between 9am-6pm for drop-in visits or dog walking. Currently, I'm not available for house-sitting/pet sitting until November 29th. I will care for pets in your home. I will make sure they have food, water and also clean the cat litter and walk the dog. I can also brush them if you would like. Lastly, give them lots of love and hugs.
About: I love dogs, their cute faces melt my heart. Growing up, I played with my neighbor's german shepherds. However, most of my experience come from raising my Shiba inu and taking care of friends' dogs while they're away, and volunteering at the shelter. Kiba and I love meeting other dogs and hiking. He is well socialized to play with all sizes of dogs. Currently I am available for dog walks and dog sit at your home when you're away. I would like to meet you and your dog first to set expectations and ensure you will feel comfortable leaving your furbaby in my care. I am currently working a flexible hybrid schedule where I split my time working in the office and my home, so your dog is never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. I take their safety very seriously. I don't leave any foods out in plain sight. I always lock doors when coming in and out of the house, and I always leash them when we're out in public.
“I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Marie!! We’ve used multiple sitters on Rover before, and she is in a league of her own. She went so far above and beyond—sending tons of photos and videos, keeping our home spotless, and even helping set up a water fountain and troubleshoot our cats’ picky eating habits. It’s clear she genuinely cares. Most importantly, she loved our cats like they were her own, and that meant everything to us. She was truly an angel and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her. We will absolutely be using her again—she deserves every bit of recognition! Thank you so much Marie!!”
“What A Star Dog Sitter! Attentive to Dogs needs, Communication was over the top. If you are looking for someone that understands and loves Dogs like Vanessa. She is your Person.”
“Johnna was a great dog/house sitter! She was able to watch my dog, Rocco, on very short notice and still came to meet with both of us before watching him. She sent me frequent pictures of Rocco and other updates while watching him and left my home as clean as when I left! I will be booking again :)”
“Amie is a wonderful and caring young lady. She quickly caught on to our dog: Molly's needs. Molly had hypdsplasia and is 14. It's hard for her at times to get up and move. She also needed meds to help ease her pain. We love our dog and she s pretty spoiled, we felt amiee treated her like she was her own. We truly appreciated Amie, and she has become like family in just the short time we have known her. I would recommend her to anyone. She works from her home which makes it nice to. I have did the kennels and drop in visits, I'm not crazy about them. We were gone for 19 days and amiee even graciously dealt with our neighbor who decided to take down are fence and redo it with no notice. Amiee is great and has alot of great references. Book with her folks ?”
About: Besides my experience with my own pets I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society at 17. After that I went on to dog sit for various different families part time for around 3 years. I have a big window of availability currently. I’m going back to school in the fall, but until then I am just working part time. I work for my grandpa, so my schedule is super flexible! When I dog sit in the clients home I will follow your instructional list for feeding/walks/ activities/ grooming ect. I have car so I can take your pup to nearby parks/ dog parks if you would like, or just for a classic stroll around your neighborhood if you prefer. For clients that would prefer I take car if you dog in my home I have a fenced in back yard and live near several park so we can go on several adventures. Or just chill at home if you have a senior/ more low energy dog. My only deal breaker is that your dog isn’t reactive towards cats.
About: I have pet sit and house sit for a short and extended period of time with experience caring for dogs and cats (from 8lbs to 100lbs pet). I have experience caring for a puppy, senior dog, senior cat, pets with separation anxiety, and administering medication for the pets that I'm looking after. I also have experience taking care of multiple pets including dog/cat mix household. I'm an active person with deep care for animals and the earth. I'm gentle and patient with the pets that I take care of, and they're my top priority when caring for them. Your pet will get all the love and attention (or space if they prefer that) when I care for them. I'm a Life Designer and running my own business allows me to have the flexibility of time and location. I work remotely and currently nomadic based in the PNW. I work for a few hours a day and manage my own schedule. When caring for pets in my client's home, the comfort, safety, and happiness of the pets I'm caring for is my priority. I'm also a responsible homeowner, so I take care of my client's house just like my own. When I spend overnight to house/pet sit, my clients can expect coming home to a happy pets that are well-cared-for and a clean house! I'm communicative and organized, I send regular text/photo/video updates to my clients about their pets that I'm looking after.
“Alexia was very responsive during the coordination & scheduling phase, excellent with communicating updates and asking questions as needed while watching our puppy, and handled our new, energetic puppy very well.”
“Kaiden was amazing with my puppy. My puppy warmed up to him from the start and Kaiden understood all of my pups quirks. Kaiden is very communicative and made sure to update me throughout his stay. Already planning on booking for another stay!”
“Kendall was an incredibly good and thoughtful caregiver to our dogs. Our lab is 13.5 years and is entering an anxiety phase when we are away and Kendall was just what we needed to be able to travel without feeling like we were abandoning him. We were in a pinch last minute to find someone because our usual dog/house sitter was away. She exceeded expectations and left our house better than she found it. A truly positive experience!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Warrendale
Aaron did an amazing job watching our 2 dogs, 2 cats, and chickens! They are not an easy group to pet sit, but he did it effortlessly and with lots of photos and updates which we really appreciated! Our youngest dog is extremely shy and reactive to strangers. Aaron had a great approach with her and was her friend by day 2 which never happens! He did the best job watching all our animals and property. He’s so clean and tidy. We highly recommend Aaron for any pet sitting needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Warrendale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,207 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Warrendale. 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 Warrendale 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 Warrendale 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 Warrendale 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.
