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.”
“Frank took wonderful care of our dog! We were a little nervous to have someone house sit, but Cedar was happy and our house was in great shape. So grateful for Frank’s help!”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She took incredible care of my dogs and cat sending regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She is professional, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. Added bonus is my house was spotless.i can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking her again”
“Janelle took amazing care of my cat! Lots of picture and video updates and went above and beyond with taking care of her and my place where she stayed. She’s very attentive and her love for animals is very apparent. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Thank you, Jen, for doing an outstanding job caring for my dogs and my home. I am impressed with your ability to relate to my dogs and to follow instructions. They immediately felt comfortable with you. I also appreciate how experienced you are with managing them on their walks and in the house. After you and I walked them together, I had no worries! When I need a sitter, I will call you!”
About: Hi there! I'm new to Rover, but have been housesitting regularly since December 2024. I've had the opportunity to pet sit in Australia and throughout New Zealand with dogs and cats of various breeds and ages. I have also looked after fish and chickens. My experience ranges from caring for young puppies and kittens to older animals with health issues, including pets with arthritis, heart issues, IBD, and asmtha. I'm very diligent about managing any medication or supplements required. In the past, I've had two dogs as my own pets. One was a miniature schnauzer and the other was a mixed breed rescue. Throughout the years, I've pet sat for friends and family as well. I always love getting to know new animals and enjoy taking care of a home and any plants you may have. :) I work remotely and have a fairly flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to stay in with your pets and make sure they are cared for and happy. *Currently, I am fully booked for housesitting until the beginning of February. If you are interested in booking for your 2027 travel, feel free to send me a message to schedule a meet and greet. I do also offer dog walking or drop-in visits for other clients from about noon to 2 pm, so this would be a time that I may be away from the house. To ensure a good fit, I offer a 30 minute Meet & Greet prior to booking. All bookings include frequent updates and photos for your peace of mind. I am happy to have your fur babies as my close companions or give them more space if they prefer. My goal is make sure they are safe and comfortable while their family is away.
“Jae went above and beyond with watching my dog Cumo. She was extremely affectionate and loving with Cumo - making him feel safe and at home instantly. She was reliable, communicative, and took amazing care of my house, even going out of her way to help with the garden. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs who are absolutely convinced they’re furry royalty. I’m skilled in managing zoomies, snack negotiations, dramatic tantrums, and cuddles on demand. Whether your pup is a diva, a goofball, or a pro napper, I make sure their stay feels like a luxury vacation. Expect belly rubs, playtime, treats, and so much fun they might pretend they don’t want to go home. This is my full time job, I will be home full time for you and your pup! I do work at a dog training facility in my free time for hours for my CPDT (dog training) certification, but you and your dog come first! I have a 7 foot tall fully fenced yard for your pup to explore, there are kennels available for those who need, and a plethora of dog beds, couches, and toys to keep your fur babies entertained. I also rent out Sniff Spots for extended stay guests to provide a fun adventure day!
“Grace was very professional and came prepared to the meet and greet. My home was spotless when I came back. Quick to respond and sent me pictures everyday. Totally recommend and will book again if our schedules line up.”
“Nadia was so great to work with. She made our dogs feel comfortable and gave frequent updates and photos. She is easy to communicate with and was able to navigate our complicated situation with our 4 dogs and handled our reactive dogs super well! We will always choose Nadia moving forward to trust with our babies!”
About: I truly love all animals, and I bring a patient, gentle, and attentive approach to every pet I care for. I’ve had my own dog in the past, which taught me how to understand animals, support their needs, and train them with consistency and kindness. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable helping with puppies who need guidance as well as older pets who require a little extra care and calm. I choose to do pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy spending time with furry companions, even though my current lifestyle doesn’t allow me to have a pet of my own right now. That means when your pet is with me, they get my full presence, affection, and dedication. My goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and understood, just like they deserve. My schedule is very flexible, especially during the fall and winter months when my workload is quieter. I work as a caterer during the summer, but outside of that season I have plenty of free time—making it easy for me to give pets lots of attention, consistency, and care. When I’m house-sitting, your pet becomes my priority. I don’t have many daily obligations, so I’m able to stay present, follow their routines closely, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire stay. Pets get my full attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or simply being a calming, reliable presence at home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I take time to understand each pet’s habits—feeding schedule, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs—so I can follow them exactly. I treat your home with the same respect as your pets: keeping everything tidy, secure, and calm. I spend plenty of quality time with your pet, whether that’s playing, going for walks, practicing gentle training cues, or just offering company and comfort. I’m patient, attentive, and always tuned in to their energy and emotional needs. I also make sure to give regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your fur baby is doing. My goal is for you to feel totally at ease, knowing your pet is receiving genuine care and your home is in good hands.
“Jordyn was wonderful! Our dogs seemed very comfortable even during the first meet & greet. Jordyn is a great communicator, sent pics and let us know things were going well. Looking forward to our next trip knowing they will be in good hands!”
“Jamie is seriously the best dog sitter we've had in the Portland area! Not only has she accommodated my request for daily pictures during every stay, but it's also clear she's taken my care directions to heart. During her most recent stay, she went above and beyond to make sure my dog got exercise and had new adventures. Pictures and my dog's indecision on who to run to during pickup affirm my trust in her services. Thank you for everything, Jamie! I recommend you 100 times over.”

“Amazingly professional and dedicated sitter. Knowing that she was taking care of our animals and our house really put us at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without worrying about our animals at all. Her dog Theo is very sweet and got along great with both my dog and cat. Jessie took my dog to a different park or part of the river every day I was gone. Very professional and dedicated she took her job very seriously and went above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
“She took great care of our two girl dogs. Our anxious girl has separation anxiety so it’s very helpful she’s able to be with them in our home so much. It is very hard to find a sitter that doesn’t have to leave for another job, go home to care for other pets, can’t stay the night, etc. We will be booking with her in the future!”
“Haley was very communicative, reliable, and à great sitter. Haley left our house clean and cared for and took vreat care of our great pyrenees puppy. Blue, Haley’s dog, also came to stay and is friendly and good with other dogs. We will definitely usage Haley stay again and really recommend to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet and house sitter!”

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Warrendale. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
