“Taylor did a great job house sitting while we were on vacation. She took great care of our home, two dogs & cat. She was very responsive & sent us pictures of our boys while we were gone. I would definitely request her again in the future.”
“Casie did a great job taking care of my pets while we were away in my home. She went above and beyond and did things that were not asked of her as well as water my garden since we didn’t get any rain. I felt comfortable with her and even though I missed my babies I knew Casie was loving them just as I love them. I will definitely have Casie back.”
About: Life-long lover of dogs and cats (used to have a tabby cat myself named Flint). Have pup-sat neighbor dogs for years, as I don't have the residential means to own a dog myself. Previously lived in NYC, so incredibly familiar with making the best out of little, including small spaces, sidewalk etiquette and clean-up, and general social interaction with other dogs/humans. I'm currently in between jobs and taking some time for some self-exploration. Recently moved here from Manhattan to be closer to family, so when I'm not playing Aunt Sarah, I'm career planning and networking. Your home is precious, and I treat it accordingly. I respect preferences and requests, as I'd expect the same in return. I spent years babysitting and dogsitting while working through graduate school, so I have lots of experience in residential expectations.
“Amanda was incredible with my intense boxer puppy. She was calm and loving and did a great job watching over our boy. He had a blast and slept most of the next day. Thank you Mandy! You are always welcome in our home.”
“We hired Erin to care for our three-year-old tuxedo cat, Lilly, for six nights. As first-time clients, we appreciated how regularly she kept us informed. She often shared photos and videos, and her strong communication skills made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Although she works primarily as a dog sitter, it was clear that she and Lilly quickly bonded - the photos showed the feeling was mutual. Erin also helped with a few household tasks, including setting out the garbage and watering our plants while we were gone. We returned to a tidy, well-kept home and a happy, well cared for cat. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Erin again. In fact, we think Lilly already misses her. Thank you, Erin!”
“Teresa is a remarkable dog sitter! I can't express enough how grateful I am to have found her. She's an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of our beloved furry family members. Her dedication and love for pets is evident from the moment you meet her. She's incredibly attentive, kind, and went the extra mile to ensure our dog's happiness and safety. Having a special needs dog, that is our utmost priority. Her communication is excellent, providing us with regular updates and even photos and videos, which we greatly appreciate. Leaving our dogs with Teresa gave us peace of mind, knowing they're in the best hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Teresa, for being so wonderful and for taking such great care of our babies!!”
“Isabelle was wonderful with our two cattle dogs, communicated with us and shared pictures throughout our long weekend away. In addition, she cared for our home as we would, and cleaned up after herself. We had nice calm girls when we got home, to me that’s a sign they were well cared for and loved!”
About: I trained my childhood German Shepherd, Bailey, and cared for her throughout her life, including her senior years. That experience taught me so much about patience and being attentive to a pet’s needs. My childhood cat Arty was rescued when he was sick, and I helped take care of him as he recovered, which showed me how important gentle and thoughtful care is. Now I have my own cat, Willie, who is playful, affectionate, and so loved. Taking care of him every day has made me even more detail oriented when it comes to routines and making pets feel safe and comfortable. While my full-time schedule limits my availability, I’m grateful to offer dedicated care on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Sundays, and after 5 PM on Saturday evenings for pet parents who need a helping hand. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines, respect their space, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! She was a wonderful option for us since we didn’t want to board our two dogs and had never left our youngest before. She was caring, dependable, and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. It made our first time leaving Winston so much easier knowing he was in such good hands. We would definitely recommend her and will absolutely use her”
“I cannot say enough about Corinne as she went above and beyond my expectations. She spent 10 days house and dog sitting. She sent me pictures of Tippy. She not only put clean sheets on the bed she laundered the sheets and towels. Corinne is friendly and you can tell she enjoys what she does. I would have her stay again.”
About: I’ve had experience with all levels of pets. From giving medicine to training obedience and instilling confidence. I’ve cared for and owned breeds from chihuahuas to pitbulls. I have a genuine knowledge for doggy language and a vibe with kitties. Let me be your pets new best friend and ease both pet and human anxiety ☺️ Im currently working part time seasonally and will be free to play, walk or stay with your furry friend most days of the week. If you like my bio we can discuss more specifically what it looks like for me to stay with your pet! I’m an active and playful being that would love to walk your dog or take them on adventures in the car. I am good with daily big walks or runs inside a fenced yard. I love to train basic obedience like sit stay and heel. Crate trained?-no problem! Free roaming with boundaries- again, no problem!
“Kaitlyn has stayed with Bacchus previously and we just love her and so does Bacchus! Bacchus requires some special care and Kaitlyn had no problems providing it. With Kaitlyn we are able to take a vacation without any worries. She is great at communicating and always sends us pictures. She also took care of watering my outdoor flowers. And when we arrive back our house was spotless! Thank you Kaitlyn”
“There isn’t enough space or time to adequately describe how pleased my husband and I are with Brianna’s care for our pups!!! Our arrangement was that she would arrive after we left our home and she let us know (with text and photos!) immediately upon her arrival! Bri provided daily updates with photos as well as being promptly responsive to our replies! We had the best time while out of town, having 100% confidence and peace of mind that our dogs were not only being cared for, but loved on as if they were her own! Our plans changed a bit on the way home and we returned a day early to happy and content pups and an immaculate house, including sheets and towels washed, shower and bath cleaned and not a single dog hair on the floor! If you knew our dogs, that’s a feat in itself! 😂 We truly can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Brianna! We look forward to our next getaway and would even plan around her schedule to ensure that she’s the one to care for our pups! She is that amazing! Thank you Bri!!! 🥰”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,376 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Watters. 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 Watters 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 Watters 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 Watters 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.
