“Rachel took amazingly great care of my dogs over the 4th of July weekend. She checked in frequently and responded quickly to questions. She made sure they were comfortable and well cared for during the whole stay. She ensured they got plenty of outside time and was very careful about making sure they were all medicated and in the house before any of our neighbors lit off their fireworks. She always takes such great care of our three pups and we’re so glad we found her! She also takes great care of the house as - kept everything super clean and tidy. We will always have Rachel as our sitter whenever possible for going out of town. The peace of mind she provides is priceless and I always know my dogs are safe and in good hands.”
“Ruby stayed in my home while I was out of town for work. She took amazing care of my pups, python, and plants while I was away! Came home to a clean house and happy critters, will definitely book with her again!”
“All good with Ariana! The puppies Chidi and Ellie had a great time playing with Ariana's puppies, everything was in good order when I returned, no complaints from the puppies! Thank you!”
“We had a good experience with Madisyn! The house was left spotless and communication throughout the stay was great — she sent updates, pictures and was easy to reach. Our one note is that she was out quite late one evening, which we weren't expecting. I'd recommend discussing schedules and expectations upfront, as she is a popular sitter with other jobs. I would still consider booking again, as we discussed that issue and she was very responsive. Thanks, Madisyn!”
About: Completed provided training and volunteered at the Animal shelter I’m comfortable providing insulin shots or oral medications as needed I can do basic hand and commands at your request to be continuous in the training of dogs. Often referred to as the animal whisperer with over 30 years experience of loving and caring for my own and other pets including cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, bearded dragon, goats, horses, cows and turtles. My calm demeanor can aid even tho most anxious of animals. I believe animals make our lives better and would welcome the opportunity to walk and play with your pets. Caring for them like they were my own but with your needs in mind. Let me know what you need and I’m sure we can work it out. Sprocket and I love being outside. Dog walks are awesome when he too can tag along. Only with prior permission. Rovering is how i spend my days with regular clients and fitting in others where feasible. Sprocket has a small backyard for play but prefers to go for car rides in his crate for new adventures. We play both indoor and out door games. correction is made with positive reinforcement.
“Kasey was incredible with our pups, Eddie and Jennie, while we were gone for five days. We told her all their little quirks and favorite things, and she was so thoughtful and accommodating with everything. She took them on hikes every day, planned play dates, sent us tons of pictures, and made sure they got all the cuddles they could ever want. We ended up having travel delays, and Kasey didn’t hesitate for a second she happily kept them an extra night and made the whole situation so much less stressful for us. We’d recommend Kasey over and over again. We’ll definitely be booking with her in the future! Thanks for being great Kasey 🤗”
“Simonne did great watching my dog, June! June is nervous around new people but Simonne was patient and gentle with her. She sent lots of pictures during her stay which I loved. I plan to keep using Simonne!”
About: I been fostering kittens for two years with my partner, including bottle-feeding newborns, caring for young or special needs litters, and administering medications. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience and has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and animal care. I also have experience house-sitting for both cats and dogs through the Rover app, making sure pets stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always treat them like my own. I work full-time, but pet care is still a big part of my routine because I’m super flexible and adaptable. I’m comfortable managing tasks around my schedule and always prioritize making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, especially kittens I’m fostering, I provide a safe, clean, and nurturing environment. I make sure they get plenty of social interaction and gentle handling to help them thrive. I also monitor their health closely and keep their space sanitized to prevent illness. When caring for pets in a client’s home through house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding routines, medication, exercise, or playtime. I treat their home and pets with respect, maintaining the usual environment to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I also provide regular updates to owners so they feel connected and confident while away.
About: My golden is my boss, and I love it. I have had dogs my whole life and am finally in a position where I can help other people with their pups. Walking, playing…I can’t wait to meet all your puppers and doggos! I currently work part time so have pretty open availability for walks and playing. I could potentially board but it would have to be a good fit with my pup. I take my dog Simon on 3 walks a day as I live in an apartment. Keeps me active and him happy. I will do whatever the client needs I order to keep their pets as happy as mine.
“Kendall is an amazing women in so many ways. She stayed with my two boy dogs and became their second mom. The boys were so calm when I got home. House looked great and most of all she is smart, common sensed, trusted and earned my total respect. She is now a part of my family. Thank you Kendall. Pam”
“Ashley is great. She checked in prior to visit, communicated well throughout visit, took our dog for a long walk (he is a large strong boy), and was incredibly flexible. Would absolutely recommend and trust her in our home again!”
About: I have taken care of cats, reptiles, and both large and small dog breeds since I was young. Working in a pet store, I have experience starting off new animal friendships on the right foot and hope to meet yours! I work in an elementary school and have availability in the afternoons and on weekends. Open availability during summer (even if it is last minute)! I am used to households with more than one pet of more than one species-- I understand that each pets living arrangement is unique and am able to accommodate for yours!
“Ami was incredible! I can’t overstate how easy she made it for us to leave our fur children for a few days (which is usually a very stressful and not a fun thing for me). Amy’s amazing communication kept my mind at ease knowing all of our pets were in great hands and getting lots of love. I was very impressed with Ami’s ability to navigate the dynamics of all of our pets with ease - we recently added a puppy to the family (~7 months old) and our 9 year old cats are still very much getting adjusted to having her in the house (never lived with a dog before) and Ami was able to not only keep them all from killing each other lol, but she kept them all very happy. You can tell by all the updates and pictures that they loved her and she earned their trust very quickly. I could go on with so many more examples, but I’ll leave it at she’s amazing - highly recommend!!”
“Veronica did a great job of taking care of our cats. She sent us daily updates and communicated very well and always asked questions if she wasn't sure or needed more clarification. She spent extra one on one time with our newly adopted somewhat feral kitty working on getting her more socialized.”
“WOW, Rachel is an amazing dog sitter! We left her with three older dogs and two 3 months old Labradors. Not only did she survive she worked on training the puppies, left the house in great shape and gave us wonderful daily updates. We highly recommend her for all your fur babies! Thanks so much Rachel!”
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve often been called an “animal whisperer” because animals seem to naturally feel comfortable, safe, and understood around me. I truly believe every animal has a sweet soul and deserves patience, tender love, care, and understanding. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or simply loves to cuddle, I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel happy and secure while you’re away. When your fur baby is with me, they’re treated like family. I’m attentive to their routines, affectionate with them, and committed to giving them the same love and care I would want for my own pets. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only being watched, but genuinely loved. 🐶🐱🐾 I have open availability and am excited to dedicate my time, attention, and love to your fur babies! 🐾❤️ I’m constantly caring for my own two pups—a Pitbull and an XL Bully—so giving dogs plenty of love, attention, exercise, and TLC is already a big part of my everyday life. Aside from caring for my own dogs, my schedule is open and flexible, allowing me to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, keeping up with their routine, or simply giving them some extra love and companionship, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m eager to share that same TLC with your pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐶🐱🐈⬛💕 Your pet’s safety is my top priority while they’re in my care. 🐾❤️ I understand that trusting someone with your fur baby is a big responsibility, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide attentive, hands-on supervision and take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, triggers, and individual needs. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, feeding routines, interactions with other animals, and anything else that could affect their safety and comfort. I also believe communication is an important part of quality pet care. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for from the moment they’re in my care until they’re back home with you. 🐶🐱💕
About: I have been pet sitting for the past 4 years! I have connected with many people through family and friends as they all recommend me to people they know! I have cared for all ages and breeds from puppies to blind elder dogs, from Chihuahuas to German Shepherds! I have fully open availability for the summer until I start college in the first week of August! I prefer mornings or throughout the day though! I am a safe and caring pet sitter. I will meet the pet first, and clients are trusting after that! I love to play, cuddle, and walk the pets!
“Wow, Irina is a rare find! I felt completely comfortable and relieved leaving our Ruby with her. She was easy going, great about communicating and so sweet. I did not feel any stress leaving for the weekend, even with someone brand new. I’m so happy I found our new dog sitter. I will be a repeat client and continue to sing her praise!”
“Ashley took time to get to know my dog and was more than accommodating to my meet my schedule. She stayed at my place and cared for my pet with love and much care.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,402 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Western Junction. 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 Western Junction 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 Western Junction 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 Western Junction 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
