About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I’m very attentive pet lover I enjoy spending time with animals, will play with, walk, feed, and care for your dog as if he or she is my own. I have dog sat for many friends and family members. Even got offered pets because of how well they seen me take care animals. I Have experience administering medicine, giving baths, nursing dogs back to health, training, and more. I’m very energetic and playful and will make sure your pet gets the proper exercise and burn off all that extra energy. I volunteer at the local animal shelter taking dogs on bow wow break out and fostering. I have 2 dogs stormy and koda. Stormy just turned a year old and koda is 6 months old very playful and loves other animals. We go on long walks in the park and on nearby trails. They love car rides and pup cups from Jermiah’s. I have two 4 year old cats Chloe, and Oliver that have their own room and kept separate from other animals when needed. I work from home overnight and I home school my 7 year old daughter so I’m home majority of the time outside of running errands. Morning feeding happen between 6 and 8am followed by yard play and then nap time. Pm feeding are usually between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm followed by a little time to burn off steam or a walk before bedtime. I do let pets out to use the bathroom every 2 to 4 hours. Bowls and crates are washed and kept clean daily along with vacuuming the floors. Loving and caring for your pet as if it’s my own, long walks, supervised play time, separate feedings, time to decompress, pets will always be leashed or in a secure enclosed area. Pets are allowed on furniture. I will keep pet owners updated with pictures and videos throughout visit. Calls and text anytime day or night are welcome.
“Morgan recently held down our pet-centered "fort" for four days. Before our departure date, Morgan came by (arriving on time!) for a tour and run-through of our pets' behaviors, meal times, and idiosyncrasies. She took copious notes, asked a lot of questions and was clearly comfortable with the crew. We left feeling very comfortable that our kids were in great hands. Morgan did not disappoint! She was magnificent! She kept us informed of what our two cats and Rhodesian Ridgeback were up to, how meal times were going, etc. She frequently sent photos, which enhanced our sense that all were having no problem with a new person in the house. Without question, we will schedule Morgan for future pet sitting !! A 5-star caretaker!!!”
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life from cats to goffin cockatoo!! I really love animals they are so unique and have such a personality! I'm a mom of four I work a part time job during school hours. Two out of my four children are in school, I have a very flexible schedule, I can pretty much accommodate any needs for your animals. My oldest child does school at home so she’s also available during the day when I am at work for potty breaks and companionship, etc.. I have a fenced in yard, my home nice and cozy. My oldest daughter loves to have any of our doggy guests sleep in her bed with her she loves to cuddle them!!
“Magdalena was a blessing at the last minute for house sitting with our 2 year old GSD. He absolutely loved her and was sure to keep us posted during the weekend of what he was doing. Thank you so much for taking care of our boy!!!”
“Martha was wonderful with Luna and Willow you really can tell that Martha loves animal so I feel very comfortable leaving my two babies with her I also liked that Martha sent lots of pictures to me while I was gone.”
“Darci was amazing! She was extremely flexible and accommodating. She treated our animals and our home with kindness and respect. We felt 100% comfortable on our weekend get away and that peace of mind is priceless. We will certainly be booking her again!!! If your debating on an in home sitter this is the one!!”
“Kelly did a wonderful job staying with our dog while we were away for almost 2 weeks. She consistently sent photos and updates. We arrived home to a clean house and a happy pup. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. :-)”
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.
“Marie was fantastic! Very attentive in advanced and ask lots of questions to provide the best care for my dog. She communicated consistently and without me requesting throughout her entire stay with him! I would highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was young, from dogs to cats, birds, reptiles, fish, small animals. I love animals and enjoy bonding with each of my clients pets. I have been pet sitting officially for 6 years now, and have returning clients year after year. I interned at a vet clinic and studied veterinary medicine for two years, so I am well versed in understanding animal behavior/needs. I volunteer at my local animal shelter so I am well experienced handling animals of different temperaments and personalities. I love all animals, so I am more than happy to provide pet sitting for pets outside of just cats and dogs. Like me, I am sure pets are your family. I want you to feel comfortable leaving your babies in my care, if you would like to meet me before scheduling anything, reach out and we can schedule something! I look forward to answering any questions you may have. I am a college student, graduating at the end of this year, but my schedule revolves around pet sitting. I stay at your house with your pets unless I have to leave for a small period of time. I have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I will have to leave the house for 3-4 hours on those days, but other than that I stay at your house all day and all night. I pet sit at your home, so I will follow the rules you have in place for taking care of your babies. I like to keep the same routine you have for your pets. My one request is that if you do not have a fenced in backyard, that you please leave a leash for the dog/dogs.
About: I love to treat every single pup like my own. I love being able to take care and be around other animals. It always helps me when I’m feeling down. Ever since I could remember i wanted to meet and love on every single dog I’ve ever met. I am currently working from home and still have a ton of extra time throughout the week to spare and why wouldn’t I take advantage of playing with dogs and taking care of them when I have free time. I have a fully open house that they can freely roam in (with supervision) and I have a sweet 10 year old morkie who would love to keep your baby company (he can be put away in the crate if needed). If I was to be staying at a clients home I would simply do the same. I would do whatever the dog is comfortable with doing in their home, as long as the owner is okay with it.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and I have had guinea pigs in my past as well. I have handled pets with all sorts of personalities and enjoy finding what they need to feel comfortable while you are away. Whether it is walking them daily or giving them medicine and even taking them to the vet if needed. I have done it all. I do currently work part time for a local pool. However, my schedule is really flexible and can be made to fit whatever is needed to make the pets feel comfortable. I have 3 small dogs at home which is why I can't have pets at my home as well as a family with a busy schedule. I have done everything from give medicine, follow strict diet and food instructions. I have also have had to take a golden retriever to the vet after his stitches came out while I was watching him due to him messing with the wound.
“RUN, don’t walk - to hire Tayler for all of your pet’s needs. I’ve had my fair share of lackluster dog sitters (even from this app, unfortunately) and Tayler goes above and beyond on every front. It started with the meet and greet - I have two anxious beagle girls who get a bit stressed with new people in the house. The moment she walked in, they were at ease, barely made a fuss and were asking for belly rubs within a few minutes (lol I swear pets can sense great energy.) Tayler stayed at our place for a few days while we were away and kept us very updated with walks, happy photos and with any questions she had about our place. She’s kind, nurturing and is exactly the person I needed to find for me to feel *amazing* about leaving them with someone. I just know her calendar is going to fill up quickly - so don’t hesitate to book her ASAP 👏”
“Mary was great! She accepted to look after our puppy with such short notice. I think Chai really enjoyed her company and we will definitely rebook!”
“Diane is so wonderful! Leaving my fur kids is always stressful for me, but Diane made me feel so comfortable. My babies loved her and I will be traveling more since I found Diane!”
About: I ve taken care of different types of dogs since I was 15 my friend and neighbors have always relied on me to take care of their furry friends where I always assure that they always go for 3 walks a day, have quality play time with me, and be cuddle and cozy all the time you are away ♥️ Most of my work is from home! So I will spend the maximum amount of time with your best friend, playing, walking and lots of cuddles 🥰 normally I take the dogs for a walk, I come back ready to give them breakfast and food prepared for them; at the middle of the day I take them for a second walk and in the way back I hide some treats around the house to keep them entertained (if the dog have separation anxiety I get sure to get a lick mat to help them with that) in the afternoon night I have enough time to play with them after the last walk with a ball and more.
“Sierra did an amazing job of caring for my dog, cats and home for 10 days. She followed care instructions, provided daily updates and pictures. Sierra was also considerate and made sure to ask questions when in doubt, which shows she cares to do a great job. I would recommend Sierra for all your pet and home sitting needs.”
“It’s been hard to find a pet sitter that truly cares but we hit the jackpot with Julia! She took great care of our fur babies, house and sent plenty of photos. She takes pride in making sure she treats our pets like her own and we are forever grateful!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Tocoi on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 1,278 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Tocoi. 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 Tocoi 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 Tocoi 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 Tocoi 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.
