About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a proud cattle dog mom, lifelong animal lover, and the kind of person who will absolutely greet your dog before I acknowledge you. Nothing personal. 😂 By day, I’m an HR Director who works primarily from home, which means I spend a lot of time on my computer and would LOVE to have your four legged coworker supervising my productivity. I can offer plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and, of course, a very competitive employee benefits package consisting of belly rubs and compliments. As a dog mom myself, I completely understand that leaving your babies with someone else is a big deal (I have a 5 page printed PDF with instructions for my pup!). I promise to treat them like my own, respect their routines, and provide the kind of care that lets you actually enjoy your time away instead of checking your phone every five minutes. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer, a professional napper, a stage five clinger, or a tiny dictator who runs the household, I’m happy to accommodate their management style. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop in visits, medicine administration, and dog walking. I’m dependable, attentive, and fully prepared to send you an unreasonable number of pictures accompanied by updates about how adorable your baby is being. My goal? Happy dogs, happy humans, and absolutely no complaints filed with HR. I can’t wait to meet your babies! ❤️🐶 I work full-time as an HR Director, but primarily from home, which means my coworkers frequently have four legs and absolutely no respect for personal space. 😂 My remote schedule gives me flexibility for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I can accommodate boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking around my work commitments. Whether your baby needs a midday adventure or just someone to supervise their very demanding nap schedule, I’m happy to help! As a dog mom myself, I know that trusting someone with your pets is basically like handing over your children (except these children occasionally eat things they shouldn’t). 😂 Whether I’m welcoming your dog into my home or caring for them in yours, their safety, comfort, and routine are my priorities. I’ll follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, household rules, and any special care needs. I’m also a big believer in getting to know each dogs personality, boundaries, and quirks before assuming we’re best friends. I have a fenced in backyard and a cattle dog who loves welcoming a playmate to her crib! However, if staying in your home, she will be staying at her own! I treat clients’ homes with the same respect I’d expect for my own, and you’ll receive regular updates and pictures so you know your baby is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: happy dogs, peace of mind for their humans, and absolutely no unauthorized house parties while you’re gone. 🐾❤️
“Our 4 year old goldendoodle , Rosey, has NEVER been left alone. We had to fly to NYC to visit our grandson and left Rosey in Mia’s hands. Rosey adopted Mia IMMEDIATELY. Mia was fantastic. By the time we got back home Mia was Rosey’s best friend! Mia was fantastic and will be Rosey’s ONLY caregiver”
“Wesleigh did a wonderful job watching my dog, Waldo! She stayed at my house while I was away, which made the whole experience much less stressful for both of us. Waldo doesn’t like to be left without me, so I always worry about how he’ll do when I’m gone—but when I got home he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I could tell he really enjoyed Wesleigh’s company, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy a few carefree days away. It’s obvious she took great care of him and made sure he felt comfortable while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend Wesleigh to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I’d happily book with her again!”
About: Growing up on a small farm with many animals. I gained hands on experience caring for animals, fostering dogs, and helping my family breed Golden Retrievers. I have a very flexible schedule, working three 12-hour shifts a week as a nurse, varying days each week. I enjoy walking daily on my days off! My apartment is a welcoming environment with plenty of room for pets to play and relax. I have access to a fenced dog park at the apartment and walk the Swamp Rabbit Trail daily, a mile to Unity Park!
“We couldn’t have asked for a pet sitter. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our home and our pets were in such capable, caring hands. Our pets absolutely adored Aspen—it was clear they were not only well cared for, but genuinely loved. We received regular updates, photos, and little notes that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It made all the difference knowing they were happy, relaxed, and sticking to their normal routines. What really stood out was Aspen’s reliability, communication, and the level of trust she inspired. It’s rare to find someone who treats your home and animals with the same level of care you would. We would wholeheartedly recommend Aspen to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and truly exceptional house and pet sitter.”
“Madeline, was AWESOME!! Unfortunately our dog wasn't doing great before we left and she was aware of that and did everything to help him be comfortable. Then his injury got worse and she phoned and updated us on everything happening and we drove home. Hands down she is the BEST dog sitter we have had and Biscuit 🐶LOVES her❤️”
“She was great! Would definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies. We have two cats who are very needy and when we got home, it was obvious they were taken care of and were happy. Will definitely been using her again for our next trip!”
“Nell was an EXCELLENT sitter for us!! Cosmo and Nova are pretty energetic pups requiring plenty of play time and walks and Nell kept up with them so we'll. She kept us updated at least twice a day with some frame worthy photos! And was a great communicator throughout her stay regarding house things, her schedule, etc. She also stayed with us after we just sold our home and accommodated and assisted us with the pups during things like inspections and house visits from our realtor that had to take place during her time. Cosmo and Nova love Nell! We hope someday our paths will cross again 😊”
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been a big animal person. I used to have a dog and cat and absolutely loved to spend time with them. I like going on walks and running during my free times. I’ve taken care of my friend’s dogs, and they know that I’m very big on making sure they are taken good care of. I treat every animal as though they were my own. I would love going on walks and playing with your fur babies. 🐶🐾 I work a full time job but have Friday, Saturday and Sundays off and would love to be able to help out anyone with taking care of their pets. I have church on Sunday mornings but after that I am free all day. I like going to the park and going on runs or a nice walk. I have a big fenced yard and will watch your fur babies as they play outside and make sure to show they so much attention . I will also make sure anything that could potentially be a problem be up high and out of reach so that your dogs will not get hurt or accidentally eat anything they shouldn’t.
About: Former pro volleyball player, experienced pet owner & sitter for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’m ready to burn lots of energy and shower your pets with love. I can even teach some commands (sit, stay, down, come). I am open to care for pets at any time of the day, morning or night. I am willing to take on special accommodations so please message me with requests if so. I believe in leaving things cleaner than I found it. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable, safe and anxiety-free at all times. I will always send a pic of your fur baby each visit as I depart and description of our interaction. Professionalism is the floor and I aim to hit the ceiling.
“Daniela took extra steps to ensure my pets were comfortable and cared for. I frequently feel nervous leaving my pets with someone new, but she was amazing with communication and it eased my mind knowing she was there to care for them. I would use Daniela in the future!!”
“Haylee is a very sweet and reliable person. Lucky loved her and she was very good to him. My neighbors all want to use her since I told them how satisfied I was with her. Hopefully, I can get her again.”
“I would totally recommend Jaylin to anyone to look after their precious pets and their home if needed too. We have never left our little dog before, only with family members. This time however, this wasn’t possible as we had to return to England to visit family and in particular 2 family members that were sick. A stressful time indeed. We decided to return for 2 weeks to see everyone we could and to get over the long journey. As soon as we met Jaylin we felt like our pets and home would be in safe, caring hands. Her kind and caring nature comes across when talking to her and her husband also. The professionalism came across too and they were very thorough at getting all the details for looking after and caring for our pets. Our older pup Abby had been very sick herself earlier in the year and needed insulin shots twice daily. It was also good to find someone who could take care of this. Jaylin stayed at our home with our precious babies. She treated our home with great respect and kept us updated with photos and updates every day which helped so much with our worries. We hope to see her again soon in a personal capacity and keep in touch and will definitely hire her again. Thank you Jaylin”

Tanya is the dream pet sitter! I was able to fully enjoy a two week trip knowing my dog was in the best hands. She sent the cutest pictures each day, always kept me updated, followed all instructions, and even celebrated my dog’s birthday while I was gone! I even returned home to a spotless apartment and clean sheets! I would recommend Tanya to anyone!
Our go-to sitter. Jana not only took excellent care of our pets, sent photos and updates, took our dog to parks/brushed her, and spent a ton of time with all of the pets, she also took excellent care of our home. In the past traveling has been stressful, worrying about the pets. That has been erased. Genuine peace of mind knowing Jana is looking after our animals. Meeka (our dog) loves her! We are so thankful and appreciative and will be booking any other time we are away.
Outstanding Lisa I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lisa ! My dog became sick before I have to travel out of state as while I was away, and she handled the situation with such care, patience, and compassion. She kept a close eye on my dog, communicated with me promptly, and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire experience. Knowing that someone was there who genuinely cared about my dog and treated them like their own gave me tremendous peace of mind. Their responsibility, kindness, and calmness during a stressful situation meant so much to me. I highly recommend this pet sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. I would absolutely use her again! Thank you so much Lisa you are amazing!!
We had a great experience! She stayed at our home for the weekend and took wonderful care of our dog. He absolutely loved her and was happy and relaxed when we got home. She kept us updated, treated our home with respect, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Ana was an outstanding house and pet sitter! She took wonderful care of our home and our six pets (2 dogs and 4 cats), including giving one of our dogs daily medication and making sure the dogs got their daily walks. Her communication was exceptional. Every day she sent multiple photos, videos, and detailed updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She even went above and beyond by taking our trash out after I forgot to put it out before we left. We came home to happy pets and a well-cared-for home. I highly recommend Ana and would absolutely book her again!
We loved Samantha! She was so patient with our girl who was acting a bit shy throughout the stay and kept us up to date with what was going on with both dogs. The house was in great shape when we came back and both dogs were clearly loved while we were gone. We will for sure be booking with her again!
I cannot recommend Sara enough to anyone looking for a dog sitter. She sent plenty of detailed updates about our sweet girls, it was great to see they had a wonderful time while traveling. She always takes wonderful care of them and leaves our home in great condition. When our flight got canceled on our last trip she was even willing to extend the booking to make sure our sweet girls were taken care of. If you love your dogs (like I’m sure you all do) Sara is the best dog sitter out there. I would leave her 1,000 stars if I could!
Kristen did such a great job watching Piper! I can’t speak highly enough about her. She loved on my girl so well while I was gone and was very responsive anytime I needed to check-in. I will definitely be using her again for Piper the next time I go out of town!
Regan was a phenomenal sitter for our cat Scar. She was on top of communication with us and always sent pictures. When we had our meet and greet with her, we got along great and our cat went right up to her. She is trustworthy and what you look for in a Rover sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Welcome is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Welcome 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 Welcome 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 Welcome 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 Welcome. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
