“We had a wonderful experience with Hannah as our dog sitter! She was communicative throughout (before and after as well) the stay and sent a great amount of photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind without being overwhelming. She also did a wonderful job navigating our older dog's needs while managing a small space with other, more challenging dogs that live in nearby apartments. Hannah also took wonderful care of our home and communicated throughout regarding anything she used or needed. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave our sweet pup, and we can't wait to book with her again!”
“Evelina was the best! I wouldn’t want to hire anyone else to watch our pups. She has great communication and gives the dogs love that they deserve!! HIGHLY recommend!! She treats your pets just like they’re her own. 🤍”
“Claire’s calm demeanor was perfect for our anxious 9 year old rescue. She left our home clean and respected our specific wishes for our dog’s care. We will be using her again!”
“Peyton was awesome! She did a fabulous job with our dogs who can be a little finicky with new people. She left our house in wonderful condition and was very communicative, giving us plenty of updates! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great house sitter for their pups!”
About: I've had a dog and a cat my whole life. I've fed walked and bathed them as well as groomed them. I've always loved animals and it's my dream to have a job in pet care. I'm not working currently so this will be my main focus. I'm ready to help in any way I can and take care of your animals as best I can. I care for my dog and my cat at home. I clean the litter box and pick up the dog poop as well as maintain their food and water. I take my dog out daily to throw the Frisbee.
“Chris was wonderful. She responded quickly to our initial request and was very easy to communicate with. She gave us confidence that she would be a good match for our dog who can be a bit timid at times. Chris stayed in our home and we felt very confident having her stay over. Would highly recommend Chris.”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. This includes daily feeding, cleaning food and water bowls, scooping litter boxes, letting pets outside, walking dogs, and providing regular playtime and companionship. I’m comfortable administering medications, including giving pills and syringe medication, and I always follow care instructions carefully. I’m especially patient with nervous or shy dogs and take a calm, slow approach that allows them to feel safe and in control. I also have experience managing multiple dogs at once and have completed drop-in pet sitting visits, making sure pets are cared for, exercised, and given attention while their owners are away. I’m currently in school and finish at 3 PM, so I’m available in the afternoons for dog walks or drop-in visits. I’d love to help care for your pets and make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, and house rules, to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I take a calm, patient approach with every pet. Especially those who are nervous or shy, so they feel secure and in control. I never rush interactions and always respect your pet’s boundaries. I keep a close eye on behavior and health, and I’ll let you know right away if something seems off. During visits, I make sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are used properly, and your home is left just as you left it. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable and you feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: I’m SUCH an Auntie with all the pets I watch! I've regularly cared for all my siblings' dogs for decades -my sister's two medium dogs have even recently been for a stay of over a week, right here in my apartment! So a multi-day routine is pretty easy for me. I've been told more than once that a pet who "doesn't usually warm up to people" ends up seeking me out! Since it seems to be a strength of mine, your shy pet may end up a good friend! I live in a studio (no private yard), but I have a fenced back porch for outdoor time and the complex is very secure so walking around here is no problem! My schedule as a certified night-owl runs roughly noon to 5am, so I'm a great fit for lunchtime visits and evening/night walks -and bonus (!) you don't have to rush back from a late-night out, since I've got your doggos covered well past when most sitters would need you home. For overnight boarding, I'm a light sleeper and stay responsive to your dog's needs through the night and early morning. I won't cancel for snow -I grew up driving in snow and ice even from before 16 on a South Dakota farm and spent over a decade in Wyoming winters, so Colorado weather doesn't scare me off (maybe a blizzard sure, but otherwise!) My own 8-year-old cat is fully comfortable around dogs and cats. She's been present through all of my sister's dogs' stays (check out the photos!) and has her own secure, independent access to our enclosed back porch as well as a catio enclosure for daytime chillin'. Currently my job is DoorDashing, so I could whittle out any time for all pets! I am a big night person, so as said noon to 5am is typical. That would mean I would be awake with your doggos for more time than typical sitters at night. I am willing to do several days in a row if needed since I can move my dashing schedule around quite easily. When I am at your place not only will your pets be taken care of with whatever schedule you need, but your house will be looked after as well. If there are any accidents that need to be taken care of, I will make sure it's set! My home is very small -just a studio (a good-sized studio apartment), but I have had my sister’s two medium-large dogs stay there with me for over a week and they did a great job! It’s not much area to wander around in, but I have pet beds and spaces to feed them! I also live on the first floor with a walkout small back porch that leads to the well-maintained outdoors of the apartment complex where I can easily take your dogs for any outside time they would need. The soundproofing in my place is also immaculate, so even if they bark everything will be okay! I do have one cat. So if your dogs or other cats are not okay with that, I am more than willing to come to your place if need be. She is great with others as long as they’re not too into her business and she has places that she can hide when she needs so she is great! I also have a “catio” on my back deck that is attached to my window with a pet flap where my cat goes out and chills. It is a very large enclosure.
About: I provide comforting care when you can't take your fur babies with you. I give peace of mind so you know your pet is having a positive experience with me and that your home is safe and secure. I understand that each pet is different and has routines and needs of care which I will always follow. Having had pets of my own, I appreciate the individuality of each animal and feel confident in giving them the space they need or the affection they desire. From me they will always get what they need and feel cared for. I have had the opportunity to care for large and small dogs, a cat who people were afraid of but who eventually happily coexisted with me. I work full time as a remote worker so I can provide in home pet first care with ease. My work and schedule is flexible, which allows for pet care to be added into my day with little disruption to me or the pet. When I am with a pet in their home, their routine and needs come first. Besides the instructions or guidance I am given about the pet, I observe and engage with the pet to learn about them and make them comfortable and happy while I am in their home.
“Kaylee watched our pitbull mix and three (3) cats (one of which is mostly blind) while we were away during spring break. For the most part things went well. I was disappointed she didn’t walk our dog as requested, but our dog does come across a lot more aggressive (mainly when people come to the door) then she really is outside the house on a leash; so Kaylee may not have been comfortable taking her out. Our blind cat seemed to be starving (and thinner) when we got home, so we’re not sure if Kaylee picked her up and placed her at the food dish as requested. Again, this could’ve been an issue with the cat who tends to freak out if one of the other cats approaches her while eating. I’m sure Kaylee is great with “normal” animals. Unfortunately, we have a dog with serve separation anxiety and a blind cat, both of which require extra care and attention.”
About: I have owned and cared for cats and dogs for over 15 years. I have also raised kittens, a lab and golden puppy as well. I am currently looking for full time work so I can dedicate all my time to helping you with your pets. I am flexible and very reliable. Being able to keep your pet in its own surroundings is such a comfort to you. I will come to your home and care for your animals. Be assured I am trust worthy and will even water your plants and take in the mail.
About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, fish, birds, horses, reptiles, and exotic animals. I also volunteered at a wildlife sanctuary, where I worked with horses and a variety of exotic species. That experience taught me how to understand animal behavior, stay calm in new situations, and provide patient, attentive care. I know every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, playtime, or simply sticking to their daily schedule, I’ll treat them with kindness, patience, and the same level of care I’d want for my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated from high school and currently have an open, flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Because pet sitting is my primary focus right now, I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, overnight, and weekend visits. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so I can help them feel comfortable and keep their routine as normal as possible while you’re away. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep it clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well.
“Alissa did a fantastic job watching Uma and taking care of our house while we were away. She sent regular updates and photos so we could stay informed about our sweet pup. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I am a kindergarten teacher during the day and love pets! I grew up having a dog and am missing it now that i’ve moved out. I am a true animal lover and would find so much joy in spending time with some pets! I am a kindergarten teacher during the week but that leaves me available in the early mornings , evenings and then all day weekends! During the week I am gone from about 8 am- 4pm I live in a decent sized apartment with a huge courtyard as well as a dog park I have one roommate who also adores pets
“Thora was amazing! She took wonderful care of our pup and home while we were away. Her thoughtful updates kept us informed & gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. Our pup was happy and comfortable with her, and everything was in great shape when we returned. We highly recommend Thora for housesitting and will definitely book with her again 😊🐶🐾⭐️”
“Rowan was wonderful with Graham and Fender! She was communicative, clearly loves animals, and was very present while staying at our home. We came back to two happy pets and a clean house. She even went above and beyond by taking out the trash and recycling and stripping the bed linens. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and would absolutely have Rowan stay with Graham and Fender again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 5,012 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Welty. 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 Welty 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 Welty 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 Welty 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.

- 91% 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.
