About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. What even is life without a furry friend? Me and Archie are looking to make some new furends! We love to Netflix and chill but are open to going for longer walks & have tons of toys to play with! I work a normal 9-5 so I prioritize my mornings and afternoons for the furry friends. Just like we need our coffee, they need their morning walk and breakfast! I have a small but clean space, with a decent sized yard for playing & pooping! My space is pretty quiet too! No complaints from Archie.
“Janice was just the perfect "substitute dog mom" that I was looking for to care for my 12 year old rescue, Roshi, who was use to me being home all day. I felt right a ease upon our meet and greet and knew right away she was the right choice. Janice was excellent at communicating and sent photos of Roshi. Janice stayed overnight at my home for 5 nights, was a wonderful house guest, I would highly recommend her, and I will be booking with Janice again.”
“Nadia is wonderful - fantastic communication, very reliable, clearly loves animals and cares very much about their happiness and well-being. My dogs were in great hands and we look forward to having Nadia care for them again.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Camille! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She gave lots of love, attention, and playtime—and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camille is reliable, kind, and professional—we will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care. ★★★★★”
“Tammy did a great job watching our two dogs! We only had a week to book before we had to leave, and she was able to help us out. The dogs were well cared for, and our house was left in the same condition as when we left it. We really appreciate her and would definitely recommend her!”
“This was our first time having someone we didn’t know watch our pups. Elizabeth put our minds at ease so we could enjoy some time away by how professional, caring, and thorough she was with the dogs. She kept up up to date, but wasn’t over the top about it at all, and walked, played with, and fed them on time every day. We could not have been happier and will definitely use her again!”
“I wouldn’t hesitate to use Joey again! He not only took great care of my dogs but my house was just like I left it! He loves your pets as if they were his own and keeps in touch to let you know how they’re doing.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. We have always had at least one dog in the house if not more. In the past 6 years I have helped my parents to puppy train twice. I love dogs unconditionally, but I am not afraid to show a little tough love when needed. I’m currently going back to school and attend a lot of local sporting events but I still make it a priority to take my dog for a walk daily. Whether we fit in a walk before I leave in the morning or in-between class and a game, I know how much she loves her walks. I also make sure to give her ample play time when I am home. I make sure that whether the pet is in a fenced in yard or not I am always keeping an eye on them when outside. I always respect the clients wishes regarding their animal being on furniture, in what rooms, and such on.
“Carla was very sweet to our pups and is a very sweet person in general. She came and left just when she said she would and sent us updates and was very responsive when we messaged and checked in. One of our pups had an accident in their bed and she washed and dried their blankets! Our home was left like she was never even here. We’d happily book with Carla again! Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies Carla!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! And have years of experience with sitting. Big dogs, small dogs, cats etc. I love animals so much. Hi! I’m Emma! I am 19 years old working as an esthetician looking for an extra gig. I recently moved in with my boyfriend but have 2 cute pugs that live with my parents. I am dog deprived all the time and miss having a furry friend running around. Apart from my immediate family, I’ve grown up surrounded by my relatives and friends dogs. I’ve been pet sitting for many years and I’m looking forward to walking with rover! I will make sure to closely follow whatever directions the owner has given me. The dog’s comfortably around me is important, and I am willing to do whatever I need to to earn their trust.
“Adriana was great! She took great care of our house as well as our two pups while we were away, and was super communicative the entire time. We will be sure to reach back out for our future needs!”
“Richard cared for our 16 year old cat that has chronic health issues. Our cat takes several medications twice a day and eats a prescription diet. He did a great job, was very responsive, responsible and would contact me if he had a question. We felt like we left our cat and home in good hands. I will hire Richard again in the future when we need someone to look after our cat.”
“Absolutely most amazing person we could have found to watch our sweet (and very needy) pup! She is so kind and our dog loves her. Will definitely use her again and can’t say enough good things about Robyn.”
“Alex and Bethany were fantastic with my 3 dog crew. Even at the meet and greet it was evident that my dogs would be in good care. They asked great questions to learn about the dogs. The pictures that we got were so reassuring. The communication was perfect. This was hands down the best experience we have had with Rover. 10 out of 10 recommend.”
About: My love for pet care started about 8 years ago when I began raising and training future guide dogs. Since then, I’ve raised two dogs from puppyhood, giving me lots of hands on experience with puppy training, socialization, routines, basic commands, and caring for dogs through different stages of life. Over the years, I’ve also dog sat and house sat countless times for friends, family, and others. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers relaxing and getting lots of attention, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. Most importantly, I know how much trust goes into leaving your dog and home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! *Please note pets that are used to being alone for a standard 8-5 work day schedule are best suited for my house sitting services!* I work four days a week, but am available before and after work on those days. Wednesdays and weekends offer me more flexibility for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and spending extra time with your pets. I’m always happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine and keeps them comfortable while you’re away! NOTE: My availability is only secured by payments made for a booking, not by request date or Meet & Greet date. I provide all pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course plenty of attention and love! I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to adjust my care accordingly, whether that means lots of walks and playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply giving a more independent pet their space. I also take great care to respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure both your pets and your home are well cared for while you’re away.
“Edward did a great job for us. He and our dog Buddy got along famously, and he was especially diligent about keeping us informed about Buddy’s time with him. Edward stayed with Buddy for five days and kept us up-to-date throughout. Additionally, the house was left in perfect condition. We will certainly use Edward for our next trip away.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 508 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yellow Mills. 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 Yellow Mills 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 Yellow Mills 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 Yellow Mills 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.

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.
