“Shelbee is incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding of our pets specific routine and needs. Provided regular photo updates to show us how comfortable our pets became around her. We returned to a happy, stress-free animal. We are so grateful and will definitely rebook!”
“Ross has been absolutely incredible every time he’s cared for our dogs. He goes above and beyond—not only making sure they’re fed and have fresh water, but also taking care of administering medications without any issues. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in safe, capable hands. What really stands out is how much he genuinely cares. He spends quality time with them and treats them like his own, which means everything to us. Our dogs are always happy and comfortable when he’s around. We truly wouldn’t trust anyone else. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I can remember. I have been trusted with my neighbors dogs, coworkers dogs, and friends dogs. I have a dog of my own and love dogs to death. I am looking for some additional hours of work in addition to my nursing job! I am looking to pay off some debt! What better what to do that than to take care of people, as well as dogs! I am obsessed with animals and always want the best for them! I have some availability in the afternoons, weekends, and evenings. :) I am pretty flexible on my off days and don’t mind doing last minute check ins! I love to follow routines and keep the dogs within their normal routine! I always make sure to walk my dog on a leash to ensure safety!
“James was great. Took good care of my house and dogs. Was very good on communication. My house and dogs were in great shape when I returned, like I had never left. I will be (and already have) be booking with James again.”
About: I have been raised with dogs my whole life. I've been taught to treat them like family. Animals are my weakness. I go out of my way to make them happy. I love playing with dogs. Walking them. Teaching them. Most importantly loving them. My house will be your dogs home away from home. They will get so much love here from me and my kids. If they are older my kids no how to be gentle or just stay away. I will make sure they are safe and happy at all times. I can do as many walks as needed. Potty breaks are no problem with my big fenced yard. I do not leave dogs out for too long especially in the heat. We will have play time daily. They will get to sleep in my daughters room with her even on the bed if they prefer. There will be someone here at all times to watch them. I would love to meet you and your babies and become apart of their family. I also watch any other fur babies you may have! With my part time job I have plenty of time to spend with your babies. When they are with me they are my priority. All other activities are put on hold. We do as little as possible to make sure we spend as much time with your babies while they are with us. I have a fenced in backyard and a home they are welcomed in as family. Nice comfy twin sized bed for sleep! They will be spoiled!! I am an early riser so your pups will get to get out and enjoy the weather early. We will have plenty of playtime throughout the day. And daily walks. The pups needs are always put first. I want to be their home away from home. My home is their home and my fenced back yard offers plenty of play time!
About: I want to point out first, I do work a full time job Monday-Friday and the hours are 7:30-4, so this is my side hustle! I wanted to be open and transparent before you book with me! I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I currently have a white lab/golden retriever mix that is just under a year old, her name is Maggie! I’ve taken care of friends and families pets since I was about 17. The animals I’ve watched have included dogs, cats, and guinea pigs! My favorites are my senior animals who just want to lounge but I love taking my younger ones to the park to play as well! I’m currently working full time during the week but available to pet sit or take care of them after work. I build in time to my daily schedule to accommodate walks, feeding time, and play time! I am more than happy to provide references from my other clients to help ease your mind. I also have experience in having to crate animals and keeping them separate if needed.
“She provided an exceptional dog sitting/care for my dog Zora while I was in Chicago. She stayed on top with texting me updates with her feeding and daily walks. So happy for my dog Zora to be at the comfort of her own home while I was gone! Highly recommend Lizette (Toni Jo) for your pet’s care!”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely a saving grace staying at our home and taking care of our fur babies. She is so amazing with our young dogs, energetic, bratty, and crazy as they are. She is patient and our chiweenie (who does NOT like strangers) was napping in her lap within 2 days. (We were SHOOK) She sends pictures several times a day along with any funny moments or important updates. (Which put our minds at ease our entire trip). Our fur babies are our children and having someone who we now trust and is so amazing with them… it’s such a weight lifted. It’s a miracle to find someone like Kaitlyn. 11/10 recommend her!”
“My 2 boys had yet another wonderful visit with Kerry. Four nights of fun and play. Its nice to come home to Two happy well taken care of dogs. If you want a loving and caring person to take care of your pets, call Kerry. I will always ask her first to take care of my boys.”
“Sarah did such a wonderful job watching our babies while we were gone on vacation! We can’t thank her enough for keeping an eye on them and constantly playing with them. Our home was left in great condition and we can tell that the dogs already miss her! Highly recommend her for any pet needs you have ☺️”
“Allison did a wonderful job watching our two furbabies while we were out of town. We got daily updates and pictures about their adventures. She took them on daily walks and gave them plenty of cuddles.”
“Jena is the best. She sat with my fur babies for a couple of days and they loved her. Maddie doesn't warm up to ppl but she did with her. She will be my go to whenever I go out of town.”
“We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.”
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs. Every time I go and dog sit for a relative I always let them know they’re free to stay out longer because I’m probably already in love with your animal. I’ve always taken good care of my dogs and cats and other peoples dogs and cats. I treat dogs as family and just like they’re people. Whatever rules you will leave for me I will follow step by step and leave the dog just how it was before i arrived. Giving a dog company is a very important aspect because dogs need loving and attention just as much as we do. I feel that I am a great applicant for a dog sitting job because I am able to take care of the dog, feed the dog, and give the dog plenty of attention. However, after I leave, your dog will experience extreme sadness for the reason being he’s just had to part with his new best friend. I’m currently in college at JCTC part-time all online! Leaving my availability and attention wide open for your animal(s). I’m available all days of the week and all hours of the day. I’ve always found myself becoming a dog or cat’s best friend. That usually leads to me overcompensating for their needs. If an animal shows any sign of needing something I will literally always stop what I’m doing to make them happy. I just have that thing that animals love. My animals are always fed, always have a full water bowl, and always deserve treats for doing their duties. I’m also a people pleaser, so I’m understanding that different animals and families have different wants and needs and I’m always more than happy to meet those. At the end of the day I want to keep you and your family worry-free and feel 100% safe with me in your place of loving taking care of your alls pet(s).
About: I’ve cared for active, large dogs since childhood and understand their need for attention, exercise, and careful monitoring — especially in hot weather. I’ve pet-sat for neighbors and family, supporting pups and cats of every size. I’m currently preparing my graduate school applications and updating my portfolio, which gives me plenty of flexible time throughout the week. Pet care fits easily into my routine — whether daily walks, active play, or dedicated sitting time. I have reliably house-sat and pet-sat before, always keeping pets in their familiar environment where they feel safest. In a client’s home, I’m careful to maintain their routines, respect their space, and avoid disturbing anything in the home. My focus is on creating a calm, comfortable experience for pets of any size.
“Brooke took great care of our high energy boys. We got regular updates and pictures and the house looked great when we got home. My daughter said it looked weird because it was cleaner than normal…so it had been noticeably cleaned up.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 711 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yoder. 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 Yoder 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 Yoder 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 Yoder 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.
