“They were both so kind and helpful. We did a meet and greet before and my dogs loved them. Very lucky to have found them. They sent photos and definitely loved on them like they were their own, which is exactly what my pups deserve. Thank you two!”
About: I've had a familiarity with animals since a child. I enjoy speaking( even though they dont speak back) and giving attention to pets to build a loving, trusting, bond I Am not very busy in general so am able to take care of companions at almost any time of the day or night as needed. I do not offer services pertaining to bringing the pet to my home, however, on our first meet, I will learn and cater to the best interest you have for your pet's care in your absence
About: Background in Veterinary medicine and animal husbandry. Rebuilding my experience so I can return to the animal world full time! Let me know if you need a helping hand! I'm currently working a full time gig at the moment but I will work out a time. Just give me a shout out and I'll be there! With absolute care as if they are my own. I would follow owner's instructions to the fullest of details. Meet and greets would be very important to establish trust.
About: I have five cats and a dog currently and am always looking to play or help take care of a furry friend. I have previously worked in a daycare as well which helped me get a lot of experience in caretaking. I am not a permanent employee anywhere and have a flexible schedule so i’m able to work my plans around the needs of any pet. All work is either online or gig based so I am always available! I have the energy to keep up with hyper dogs but i also love the lazy dogs/ cats who just want me to pet them and hang out around them. whether your pet needs a workout or a nap session, i can keep up with it!
“Lauren was AMAZING!! One of my dogs can be a little timid with new people and she barked for maybe 10 seconds which was so insane to me. Her communication was amazing, the dogs absolutely loved her and she even made me ornaments with my pups paw prints on them!! 10/10 will be using her anytime my pups need a sitter!🤍”
About: There has never been a time in my life where I lived pet free. Dogs (all sizes and breeds), cats, horses, ferrets, and large birds. Sometimes all at the same time. Training is a must for these types of situations. I am available to help as needed. We have recently rearranged our lifestyle to spend more time at home for both, our human and pet family. This includes your pet as they are now part of our family. Large fenced in back yard and 7 acres to walk together. Offering indoor play area, kennel free stay, raised dog beds, chairs and doggie couches.
“Robin did a great job communicating with me and sending me photos. It's such a comfort to be able to have someone stay in my house so Anya can stay in her own home not be anxious. The house was left in great shape with no mess anywhere. Would definitely have Robin stay with Anya again.”
“Shannon was awesome! Sent lots of pictures and updates of our pup! We came back to the house exactly as we left it and a very happy pup! Will definitely be rebooking in the future! Thank you!!!!”
“Anita was AMAZING!!! Not only did she take excellent care of our stubborn furry baby, she kept watch over our home and we returned to a clean and happy house!! Peace of mind is what you’ll get by hiring her. We cannot recommend her enough. ???”
“She did awesome! She kept the place clean, and all my kitty babies were happy! She even took care of my axolotl for me. I would definitely recommend her, she is great, and really loves your pets.”
“Katie did a great job with caring for my 2 male cats for a week. One of my cats had been recently diagnosed with a medical issue. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Katie was staying at my house & frequently checking up on him.”
“Mikki was the best! Our pets were well taken care of, our house was cleaner than we left it, and we received communication and updates daily. Absolutely would recommend and will book with again!”
About: I am a passionate animals lover with 10+ years of hands-on experience working in veterinary hospitals, boarding facilities and animald ERs. I have cared for dogs of all breeds and temperaments and am comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats when needed. I currently work from home with the flexibility to do other things through out my day. I choose to fill that or my free time taking care of animals! I have a fenced yard and a clean safe home for your pets to play, roam, feel safe and comfortable. I no longer have pets of my own.
About: Hi there! I’m Carley — a lifelong animal lover, a mom of three, and the proud owner of a sweet, energetic dog named Millie and a laid-back cat named Mac. Caring for animals has been woven into my life from the very beginning. I grew up surrounded by farm animals and learned early on how to handle, nurture, and truly understand different personalities, needs, and quirks. Before becoming a SSS Professional, I ran a small pet-care business called All Things Living, where I cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From high-energy pups who need structured walks to gentle seniors who appreciate patient companionship, I’ve always loved connecting with animals and making them feel safe, understood, and loved. My employment allows me to have the flexibility and attentiveness to give your pet the consistent care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or extra snuggles, I treat every pet like part of the family — because that’s how I’d want someone to care for mine. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I am available for home visits 7 days a week between 6am - 11pm, May - August. I am more than happy to keep your furry baby at our home if they are okay with children, dogs, cats and the noise that comes with them! I am also occasionally available for house sitting. I live in an active neighborhood called Chapmans Retreat with wonderful sidewalks for walking and a bubbling creek in our backyard for romping. There is ample space for your fur baby to run and a cozy home to rest.

FAQs for House Sitting - Yell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 306 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yell. 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 Yell 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 Yell 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 Yell 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 Yell. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
