About: I have a 16 year old Maine coon named Marv. He has hypothyroidism and chronic kidney disease so I know what it takes to give your little buddy what they need! I had to give him daily medication and am comfortable doing the same for your pets. I have had dogs and cats in my household for almost my entire life. Your pets will love me. I've even convinced a pet turkey to love me! I am a full time student at Tri-County and am also taking classing during the Summer. I typically have full availability with the exception of my classes. My class schedule during the Summer semester (5/12 - 7/24): Mon/Wed (10a-1:30p), Tues/Thurs (10a-6:30p), & Fri (10a-11:45a). I love to play with cats and dogs to keep them active. Walking dogs is a fantastic excuse for me to get some exercise and to hang out with a furry friend!
“Nadia was wonderful! She watched our pets while we were out of the country for two weeks and kept in regular communication and always sent fun photos. We recently moved to the area so I feel such a relief in finding someone who I can trust and that my pets enjoying being with.”
“Hallie is outstanding. Our dog loved her and she gave us great updates to keep us knowing he was having a great time while we left on vacation. We hate to leave our boy but she made it a time we all could enjoy.”
“Shirley was wonderful. She stayed at our home and took great care of our dog while we were away. She was kind, respectful of the house, and very easy to communicate with. We came back to a happy dog and everything exactly as we left it. We would absolutely have her sit for us again and highly recommend her.”
“She did an excellent job. Her watching my dogs at my home was very convenient. She followed my instructions and kept me up to date with how they were doing. I’ve already recommended her to my cousin. Thank you again”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life. At 13, I started a neighborhood dog-walking business for owners who were “too pooped to walk their dogs,” which quickly grew into in-home and overnight dog sitting. I got my first dog at age ten and trained her myself, and I’ve since attended multiple dog training classes because I genuinely enjoy working with dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for labs, golden doodles, pit bulls, and more for families that I have worked with through high school and college. Now that I have my own home (next to a park) I’m excited to start again with plenty of space, structure, and love for every pup. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m an emergency nurse and work every Monday and Tuesday and every other weekend, which gives me most weekdays free and flexible for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. On my off days, I enjoy staying active with walking, running, and hiking, and I love including dogs in those activities for both exercise and enrichment. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives consistent attention, timely care, and plenty of love. Safety and trust are my top priorities. As an emergency nurse, I have strong medical training and stay calm and attentive in all situations, including emergencies. I closely follow pet parents’ instructions and routines in both my home and theirs, ensuring a low-stress, loving environment. I provide supervised play, secure walks, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Living next to a park gives dogs safe space to explore, exercise, and enjoy structured outdoor time while always being carefully monitored.
“Meghan was great with my puppy. It was her first few nights without me here and everything went as well as one could expect. She cleaned up after herself. Outside of a healthy pup, it was like she wasn't here. I would certainly use again.”
About: I grew up having pets all my life, and after high school started doing pet sitting occasionally. My pets have ranged from a Jacksons Chameleon, a few farm animals, and of course, dogs and cats! Two of my current animals are special needs, one with only 3 legs and one with a seizure disorder, so I’m well versed in animals that need a little *extra* care! I currently work part time as a nanny, so I have more than enough time for drop-ins to take care of your pets and give them all the love, cuddles, and treats they may need! I care for pets in YOUR home and treat it as if you’re one of my nanny clients. I’ll follow your pets daily routine when it comes to food, walks, meds, etc and leave enough time for cuddles as well making sure the house is left clean from any pet accidents or pet messes.
“Jayda was awesome, we have a dog who stresses out a lot and can’t go anywhere. So it was important to have someone come to the house and stay. We highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Mary was great house sitting and watching my two high energy dogs (Aussies)! She did daily walks as well as playing in the back yard + was able to accommodate their special needs (prescription food for one and chewable meds for the other). I would absolutely recommend her as a dog walker or sitter as she loved my dogs a whole lot.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need extra patience or attention. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and safety, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—not just watching them, but making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent and attentive care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2 PM, with time set aside for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins. I make sure each pet gets dedicated attention and isn’t just “fit into” my schedule—they’re part of it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy having company. I always introduce pets slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I can crate your dog if needed and will follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or care instructions you provide. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home.
“Sketcher did great housesitting our anxious 2 yr old dog and 11 yr old indoor cat. She was good at communicating promptly during booking and during the stay. We came home to happy pets and everything was as expected.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been a caregiver on Wag! since 2022. At a doggy daycare, I managed large groups of dogs, ensuring safe, structured, and attentive care! I work full-time during the day, but pet care fits into my routine in the evenings and on weekends. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care, and I make sure to plan my schedule so pets get consistent, reliable attention! I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs in both my home and the client’s home. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and comfort breaks. I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication, and I always provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Anderson
MB and Lindsey were phenomenal with our puggle Linus, who often has separation anxiety. We appreciated their conscientiousness so much; before we left, they were incredibly thorough in learning about Linus’s and our preferences, and we felt he got the absolute best possible care. Not only that, but they took great care of our home. A+ review—wonderful people and sitters.
Nadia was wonderful! She watched our pets while we were out of the country for two weeks and kept in regular communication and always sent fun photos. We recently moved to the area so I feel such a relief in finding someone who I can trust and that my pets enjoying being with.
After having an unfortunate experience at a kennel, we decided to try rover for pet/home sitting. We met with Robin, we decided she was a good choice for our dog. She kept is up to date and took pictures for us. We felt great trusting her and would definitely use her again!
I just can’t say enough good things about Hannah. She was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of Binx and Biscuit. She left our home just the way she found it and cleaned up after the cats and herself. We will definitely use her again when we are away from home for a long time. Our cats loved her too💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Anderson on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 West Anderson 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 West Anderson 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 West Anderson 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Anderson. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
