“Carolina was wonderful and really gave us peace of mind during our trip. She was excellent at communicating and giving updates to us and also left our home clean. She will definitely be rebooked by us in the future!”
“Zoe was great! Lots of communication and she took great care of our pups. She was even willing to run back to our house to save a package from the rain for me when it came later than expected!”
“Brittany did a great job with our two dogs and three cats. She sent pictures to us on a regular basis and stayed in contact with us. Our pets really liked her.”
“Aiden was a great help watching Mickie when I went on vacation. My flight home got delayed 2 days due to weather and he was able to extend his stay and take care of her until I got back.”
“This was our 1st time hiring a dog sitter & using Rover. Amber was GREAT!! She was so helpful, super friendly, on time, responsive, you name it! She stayed at our house for 4 nights/5days w/Sarge & even brought him a playmate (which he loved!) She sent pics, checked in about things going on at the house, got our packages, turned off the pool pump, and even washed the dishes! We will use her again FOR SURE!!! Thank you Amber!!!”
“Sherry came to the rescue at the last minute to stay for 4 days with my pups after my dogsitter cancelled. I was unable to meet her but she graciously met my best friend to be introduced to Finn and Charlie. She played ball with them and gave them lots of snuggles as well as sent photos and stayed in communication with us while we were gone. Will be calling Sherry in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up around many different breed of dogs, and many different kinds of animals. I have watched animals for family and friends for years, whether they’re puppies or senior. I figured it was time to extend my services as it’s something I really enjoy. I am very attentive and treat every animal like they’re my own! I am in my first trimester of pregnancy and recently had to step away from my job, so I am home all day, and always looking for something to do. This means I have all the time in the world to give your fur baby all of the love and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard and one little dog named Peanut, who just loves other animals! We go out in the yard for a bit every morning and after breakfast and then go for our morning walk around our very dog friendly neighborhood, and repeat again in the afternoon after dinner! There is also a large dog park that is typically unoccupied that Peanut loves to run around and play at!
About: Growing up in La Cañada Flintridge, my love for animals has been an integral part of my life since childhood. Dogs have always gravitated towards me, making it clear that caring for animals comes naturally to me. I believe dogs are truly a gift from above, sent to bring joy and laughter into our lives. Huntington Dog Beach is my happy place, where I can connect with these wonderful creatures and witness the pure happiness they bring. As a dedicated medical professional with over 25 years of experience in La Cañada Flintridge, I understand the importance of compassion and care. My my schedule is open. I dream of one day having a dog ranch where all furry friends are welcome, providing love and safety for those in need. With a genuine connection to animals that rivals human relationships, I'm excited to share my love and care with your beloved pets. Currently my schedule is open for pet care. I am able to care for pets during the day but I also can do overnights as well. I believe it’s most beneficial for your beloved pets to remain in their environment of their homes so that they can feel safe and secure.
“Emily was great, very attentive and provided lots of daily feedback and photos. She went above and beyond what we asked of her. I would certainly recommend her for your dog/house sitting needs.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little and have always had big dogs so im not afraid of them. I've pet sit for my friends and family many times and have had no issues at all even with their older dogs that need medicine at specific times or young puppies that are very acccident prone. Im a student but have found a lot of extra time on my hands that even my cat doesn't want to deal with. So im available for any job most weekdays. Im available after 3:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays for walks or playtime. And afternoons after 5 on Monday Wednesday and Fridays for any late night pet sitting. I have a fenced yard and a big living room with parks near me that are great for walks. For clients home im very adaptive and can keep pets occupied and cared for depending on the service.
“Ariel was fantastic! We were a little worried with one of our pups having recently gotten stitches, but it didn't impact Ariel at all. It was clear she took care of both our pups and the house. (I think our house was cleaner when we got home than it was when we left it!) Ariel was VERY respectful, communicative, and I would not hesitate to recommend! We've already rebooked her for our next trip!”
About: I have a dog of my own, a mini Australian shepherd that I got as a puppy. I have watched over my parents dogs and friends cat and bunny. I have most evenings and weekends off and I am available to help. I love all animals and want to be able to help out others. I usually go to the person’s house and care for them. I have also stayed over at houses if the pet is uncomfortable sleeping alone.
“Absolutely wonderful!! We booked Samantha for the first time for a 3 week stay at our home to look after our lab Marley. Samantha was so great! She gave us daily updates, photos and videos. She is really easy to communicate with and an absolute gem of a person. She has such a sweet personality and my dog absolutely loved her❤️🐶 Samantha made the whole process easy! In addition to looking after our sweet dog, our home was just as we left it. Tidy and clean. I will definitely book her again and would recommend her to anyone as well!!!”
About: I have been taking care of cats all my life and for the past ten years I've been taking care of dogs as well. I have experience working with animals that aren't my own as well as overnight stays. I am currently not in work, but I typically wake up around 7 am and start my day by feeding my animals and taking my dog for a walk. Then throughout the day I like to spend time with my animals and ensure they get plenty of attention. I have a fenced yard and a super sweet golden retriever who loves to play with all sized animals. He's very gentle and playful and gets along great with other animals. I have a pool in my backyard as well so if your dogs love to swim I can gladly accommodate that.
About: I have worked with dogs for 6 years, I own two dogs as well. A German Shepherd/Belgian Maliniois named Dex he is 5 years old and he has so much energy but is the biggest friendly fur ball. I also have a Cavachon named Dakota, he is 3 years old and he a couch potato inside and a dare devil outside. I work at a doggy daycare currently so I’ve worked with various breeds and I understand that you can not judge a dog based on breed. I also worked with temperaments and personality as well, I can manage the behaviors if walks are taking. I’m also in vet tech school so I’m currently learning more about dogs such as health issues and signs. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide your furry family members with attentive, loving care throughout the day. Your pets will be closely monitored and cared for 24/7 in a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home for every pup in my care. Crates are only used for feeding if needed, and the rest of the time your furry friend is free to roam and relax. My home also has security cameras for added peace of mind. Your pup will enjoy walks, plenty of attention, and lots of love while they’re with me. I respect each pups routine and personality, and fresh water is always available to keep them happy and comfortable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 746 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yarboro. 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 Yarboro 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 Yarboro 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 Yarboro 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.
