“Pauline was available on short notice, and I'm so very grateful. All three dogs, Ezra, Scout, and Winslow, bonded with Pauline quickly. Pauline is kind, patient, and authentic. It was a relief to know I could go out of town for the day to handle medical matters and relax. Usually, I stress and feel guilty when the dogs have to stay behind. Not this time. Pauline is an animal natural, and I'm very grateful to have found her. Thank you, Pauline.”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter! My sitter cancelled on me at the last minute and I desperately messaged Christina hoping she could fit me in. She met me within a couple of hours to do a meet and greet. I have one goofball dog that likes everyone and one less than friendly to strangers dog than likes VERY FEW people. They both loved her! She then took absolutely fabulous care of both of them for the next two days for a very reasonable price. This sitter is the real deal of sitters. She sent me pictures while she was at the house and both dogs looked very happy, satisfied, relaxed and comfortable. She even cleaned up the mess where they had gotten into the trash. If you need someone to care for your furbabies, don't hesitate to call on Christina!”
“We're always super nervous to leave our dog! He's such a good boy but he can be difficult. He needs his time to get used to people because of his anxiety and Chandrika gave him the time he needed which made him feel comfortable. She sent us pictures and updates through out our trip and followed all of his instructions. When we got home everything was in order with our house, Walker our dog was a happy pup and I very much look forward to having Chandrika watch Walker again! It's such a relief to find people like her and we are very grateful.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to bearded dragons, sugar gliders, and parrots, and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals of all kinds. 🐾 I worked at Pet Supermarket from the time I was 16 until I was 22, and I also spent a year and a half in vet tech school. Caring for animals has always been something I truly love, and I’m happiest when I’m around them! I know how much our pets mean to us because they’re family, and I treat every pet I care for just like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away—and to give you plenty of peace of mind along the way! ❤️ I currently work full time remotely so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, bathe and play to make sure your pets needs are fully taken care of while also having fun! I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so I can care for them in the way they’re most comfortable with. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re playing, going for a walk, or relaxing at home. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while their family is away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so communication is really important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can see that your fur baby is happy, safe, and being spoiled while you’re gone! 🐾❤️
About: I have a 1 year old golden doodle and her name is Hatti. Dogs and cats always love my energy around them because they can sense it. Different dogs/cats have different levels of need for food/attention/affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and mental status and make sure they are well taken care of. I’m a master’s student. My classes are mostly on Wednesdays this semester. I have plenty of time to take care of the cute little angles. My dog is a well-trained spoiled high-maintenance girl. She has to have me be there when I feed her and she makes sure I have the leash in my hand when we walk. I love that she likes my attention and affection so much.
About: I’m Natalie. My husband & I live on 1 acre that is fenced in. We have chickens, and a friendly great pyreneese. We are active & enjoy the outdoors.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 30 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wellborn. 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 Wellborn 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 Wellborn 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 Wellborn 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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
