“Cheryl, again, gave us the gift of a worry-free vacation away from Gracie. This was a week-long trip out of the country. Cheryl kept us updated everyday, managed all medications, did Gracie's PT, and left the house spotless. Best of all, we knew Gracie was getting so much attention and love. It's hard to leave a senior dog--unless you're leaving her with Cheryl.”

About: Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved animals. Especially dogs. I have owned, trained, and taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I have a special connection with dogs and bond with every dog I meet. My calming nature helps keep my furry friends at ease and trust in me. I am responsible, hardworking, empathetic, determined, and reliable. I truly believe that dogs are our best friends. I love taking long walks with dogs and giving them all the love, attention, care, and cuddles they need. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to work with and accommodate your pets needs or any special instructions. Making sure your pets are safe, happy, cared for, and in good hands is my top priority! I will treat your precious pets like they are my own fur children. I am currently on leave from my full time position temporarily, so I have plenty of time to give all my attention and love to your pet/pets. I am flexible and happy to accommodate whether it's a walk, drop in, house sitting, day care, or boarding in my home. My schedule is free and open to help you and your beloved fur family members. I have a 3 level house with lots of grass and space for your fur babies to walk and run and play! I am a softie when it comes to pets, especially dogs, and I will always take the best care of them and spoil them extra for you if you want as if they were my own. I am happy to accommodate any preferences and any comforts or rules you provide your pet regarding furniture, treats, special care, etc. I do not have any children or pets of my own in my home currently.

“Jess has watched my senior pug a couple times and does a great job. She brings her sweet pup over to play with my dog so she won’t be lonely. My pug loves the companionship. Jess is very good about staying in touch as well. When I reach out to determine if she is available, she is very quick to follow up. She sends photos of our dog to me which is very sweet. In addition, she is thoughtful and offers to assist with things like taking out the trash or recycling or checking on mail, etc. I would highly recommend Jess.”

She was lovely and personable, and immediately put us at ease when we needed a sitter for our elderly terrier rescue who has recently lost her eyesight. Bronte really has a "sixth sense" when it comes to caring for special needs dogs. We are grateful for her help and gladly give her this 5-star recommendation!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had cats throughout my life and have also had the joy of caring for a dog. I truly enjoy the companionship that pets bring and love giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. Now that my kids are grown and out of the house, I have more time to spend doing something I genuinely enjoy! Being around animals! I’d love to spoil your pets with love, playtime, walks, and lots of attention while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for just like they were at home. I can stop in before and after work. Or I can stay at your house. I work a 9-5 weekdays. I am available also on weekends. I will follow your expectations while sitting for your pets in your home. I will make sure the home remains pet safe. Making sure your pets environment is safe before leaving them. I will give them lots of attention and playtime.

About: I’ve had hands on experience caring for pets for many years and currently help take care of my 15 year old senior dog, Charlie. Being an online college student gives me a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with the pets I care for. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and understand the patience and extra attention they may need, but I also enjoy caring for younger, more energetic dogs. I always treat pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 🐾💕 I’m an online college student, so my schedule is super flexible. I’m home a lot and love structuring my days around the pets I’m caring for, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just hanging out and giving them attention. Making pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for is something I really enjoy! 💗 I love caring for pets right in their own homes where they feel safe and comfy. I treat every pet like family, giving them lots of love, attention, and gentle care. Keeping your pet happy and relaxed is my top priority!

About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals! I’ve grown up with lots of cats, dogs & more! I currently work at my local animal shelter as a Behavior trainer, and I treat all of the fur babies as if they were my own until they get their furever home. I care about each of them and only wanna make them feel love special and cared for! Since I'm working part-time right now, I have plenty of open time to dedicate to your fur baby. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. My days are flexible, so I can give your pup my full attention - whether that's a nice long walk, playing fetch at the park, doing food puzzles for mental enrichment, or just hanging out for lots of love and pets while they enjoy a bone. I'm happy to stick to whatever routine makes them most comfortable. As the owner of a 1.5-year-old rescued Doberman mix, I understand how much care, exercise, and enrichment dogs need to thrive. My boy gets daily physical exercise plus mental stimulation through enrichment, puzzle toys, and Kongs. I bring that same standard of care to every pet I watch - just let me know your pet's routine and needs, and I will follow it to the T. As for Safety is always my #1 priority - whether we’re out and about in town or on a quiet hike in the woods.

Lizzie was absolutely wonderful with our cats while we were away! She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and punctual, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond by spending extra time with the cats and making sure they got plenty of attention and care. She even patiently worked on winning over Lacey, our notoriously aloof cat, which we especially appreciated! It was clear that Lizzie genuinely cared about our pets and wanted them to feel comfortable and loved. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would absolutely recommend Lizzie and would happily have her care for our cats again!

Caroline took such great care of our senior dog, Wilma! We used her for three days, and she was always prompt about coming by to let Wilma out, feed her, and spend some time with her. We really appreciated how dependable and caring she was. We will definitely use Caroline again in the future! Highly recommend!

Jamie & Kasey took great care of our dog. They both sent multiple pictures throughout each day they were there. Giving updates on how she was doing. We had an unexpected snow storm while away and came home to shoveled and salted sidewalk. Our girl was loved and cared for like she was their own pet❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Worth Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 Worth Acres 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 Worth Acres 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Worth Acres 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
