“100% confidence in Bridgett to watch anyone’s pets. She was accommodating to our scheduling needs and very patient with our dogs. Our dogs instantly liked her, we would trust her with our pets in the future.”
“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!”
“Karys is amazing! She stayed in our home with our pup for 5 days and gave us photos, videos and updates everyday. Our home was perfect and our dog happy! HIGHLY recommend ❤️”
“Holley was amazing! She watched our dogs and home for 10 days and did an awesome job. Great communication, and left our house super clean. Our puppies were happy as well. I would absolutely work with Holley again, highly recommend her!”
“Matt was a fantastic pet sitter for our cats, Zuko and Winnie. We always had very clear communication, he sent us great pictures every day, and he took great care of our cats and our house. Our cats loved him.”
“Sierra was very friendly and treated our dog Sadie very well. It was challenging for all of us because our dog Sadie is still a puppy of 71/2 months and we haven’t left her alone with someone else overnight. So a one night trial to see how she would cope. Sierra fairly new at dog sitting did well, our house was as we left it and Sadie had been taken good care of. We plan on using Sierra in the future for another one nighter to get our dog accustomed to being left with a sitter and we are looking forward to a longer vacation.”
“As usual, AJ is so great with our dogs and a joy to have help us out with house sitting and dog sitting. They were even concerned about our safety driving during a big snow. One of our little guys was pretty upset that we left this time, and AJ really went above and beyond to help him deal with it. I wish AJ was always available to watch our boys.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our senior Labrador. Tiffany sent updates and great pictures and let us know how she was doing. We will definitely keep using her pet sitting services for our dog.”
About: I have been around dogs for over 20 years. I can connect with them in ways others cannot. I have never had an issue with a dog and people often tell me that dogs love me. I am currently looking to take on as much as I can! I am a runner so if your dog likes going on runs I can take them with me or if they like the slower pace of walking I can do that too. I’m a grad student so when I’m not in class I’m at home My roommate has a dog that stays in his kennel most of the day besides when he is let out and if there is another dog in the house that I am watching over they stay with me in my room and typically never leave my side
“Kayley was so amazing and very professional. She came to meet our animals before staying and took notes while we chatted. She sent photos during her stay, cleaned the sheets and towels, and even left us some treats (human and dog!) We would definitely recommend her! Thanks again!!”
“Tonali was absolutely amazing! She was available to get to know our sweet boy before we left for vacation in order to get him comfortable with her Leaving him with someone new is something we haven’t done before but she was nothing short of exceptional. She took great care of the house and our dog. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Maya was very reliable and flexible during her booking with my two dogs. I booked her very last minute to take care of my new puppy and my 2yr old chihuahua mix. She was very communicative and sent me lots of pictures every day. My home was cleaner than I found it and the dogs were happy!”
“Rory was fantastic! 11ish days with my temperamental chi and his 4 kitties... I will definitely be keeping her on my shortlist for future trips! Rory sent pics and videos during my trip to help ease my anxiety of being away from the babies. I can tell my brood had a good experience!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 5,065 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 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.
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.
