“Hannah was wonderful! She quickly got to know our Golden Retriever’s needs and personality. Hannah communicated often how our pup was doing, eating and playing, sending us pictures and videos. Upon our return home, we not only found that our pup and home were well taken care of, but she baked us delicious banana bread with a sweet note welcoming us home. We would highly recommend Hannah and definitely book her again!”
“Michael was great with our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. They are both fairly high energy and one can be a little standoffish, but it wasn’t an issue at all. He took the time during our meet and greet for the dogs to get comfortable with him and we couldn’t be happier. Will definitely be using him again in the future!”
“We are very glad we were able to find Madison so last minute. We were worried about introducing our reactive dog to someone new, but our dogs instantly connected with her!”
“Brandi did a wonderful job house sitting. Our girls were well cared for, the house looked great when we got home, and she was happy to help out. We will look to have her back for our next trip!”
“Daniel was so helpful during his stay at our house! He helped bring the garbage in, collected our packages that were delivered while we were gone and even helped water our plants. We recieved daily pictures and updates about the animals and even an update of wind damage our property endured while we were hone. We will happily have Daniel help us again with our future trips!”
“Ethan was amazing! I had a last minute booking and he made time for the meet and greet so I could confirm the fit before booking but he then went above and beyond when our times needed shifting after booking. He was available and made the change no complaint. He showed up on time and communicated throughout the booking process until arrival. Our dog was happy and cared for, fed and taken out to do his business as requested. I would use Ethan again.”
“Sammie was great! She arrived on time- stayed a little later too. Remy seemed happy and tired from a good night! This was our first Rover experience and we’re very pleased it went so well!”
“Sam was wonderful with our dogs! She was able to build a positive relationship with our fearful pup and keep both engaged. Sam sent lots of pictures and video. I felt so relieved to know that my boys were comfortable in their own home and in good hands. Sam was respectful of our home and preferences. We'll definitely hire Sam again for our next trip!”
“Dawn was super wonderful! My dogs love her and it was so comforting knowing they were in great hands while we were gone. We will definitely be using her services in the future!!!”
“Joe and I had the opportunity to have Hannah watch our sweet Oliver over a couple of days. She was prompt on the inital visit, as well and stopping in during the times that we needed her to attend to him. She took photo's and sent them to us regulary, which we appreciate. This was our first time with Hannah and we hope she will be able to watch him again. Thank you Hannah!”
About: I've taken care of many dogs for friends and family members. Trained puppies for family as well as my own. Cared for older dogs who needed extensive care. Provided all types of care such as, walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and sitting. My schedule is very flexible so I have lots of availability. Morning drop offs and pick ups are great but can adjust as needed. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions. I have a spacious yard and only one small dog who gets along well with other dogs. My home does have space for a crate if needed.
“We were on vacation for 8 days which CodiBrianne stayed at our home caring for our elderly doggie. She was an excellent sitter as she was in contact with us and her love for our lil guy was so important to us. We came home to a happy dog and Codi took great care of our home?”
About: I'm a 39 year old direct care worker. I've grown up with dogs and cats all my life. I currently have a dog and cat. My experience in pet care is from taking care of my own and volunteering for friends and family. I was a kennel technician for a year at the Humane Society and have volunteered there over the years. I am working minimum part time right now. I am available during days and evenings, as I work 3rd shift, and will be available some nights and overnights also. I will follow the established routine you provide, providing plenty of companionship and care your pet needs, ensuring your their safety, all while giving you regular updates.
About: My first job at 12 was dog walking/sitting but I have been a lifelong animal lover! I grew up with dogs and adopted my cat about 8 years ago. I have cared for both young and elderly dogs/cats as well as those with special needs and medical conditions. I am currently a stay at home mom with my five year old son. My availability is very open especially going into the summer months. Although I may not be able to do overnight stays at this time, I can do later evenings and earlier mornings. I do have a fenced in backyard that I can accommodate your pup with! I also have a dog in my home who is very friendly and would love play if you allow it. If not I will keep them separate. I can take your dog out to a local trail or walk them in your neighborhood. With cats I would be vigilant in keeping them away from open doors unless allowed. I know they love to explore small spaces and I take extra precautions to keep my girl safe! I love getting to know all the unique personalities of different cats, I love a good cuddle as well as some fun playtime. I have a special place in my heart for senior kitties.
“Amanda provided good communication, asked good questions, and really paid attention to the details regarding our pet’s specific care. Amanda did a good job helping our pet stick to her regular daily routine while we were away. We are grateful!”

FAQs for House Sitting - West Olive
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 933 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Olive. 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 West Olive 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 Olive 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 Olive 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 Olive. On Rover:
- 98% 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.
