“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!”


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.
“We had Kaitlyn stay at our home over Memorial Day weekend to care for our two dogs, and she was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond, doing two home visits before her stay to get to know our pups and ensure they were comfortable with her. One of our dogs is 15 years old, deaf, on several medications, and prone to wandering at night—which requires a lot of patience and attentiveness. Kaitlyn handled it all with care and compassion. Her communication was excellent; we received daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, the house was spotless and, most importantly, both dogs were calm and relaxed. That’s not always the case—so it was clear they felt safe and cared for. We couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care Kaitlyn provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring sitter.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for 10 years. I am always open to learning new routines and meeting different types of breeds. I have experience with puppies, older dogs and even medically fragile dogs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure their cups are full before leaving them. Dogs have such big feelings and deserve to be loved like humans (if not even more) I am an early riser and currently have open availability. My weekends are pretty much open and I make sure to always put the animals first then my own plans. I cannot care for pets at this time in my own home, but I will be willing to travel/stay at their homes in order to keep them safe & comfortable.
About: I am a pet owner myself. I have a 2 year old puppy, great pyrenees and mount bernese mix, Willow. We adopted her at 8 weeks old and have been happy ever since. I’m currently working part time at a local grocery store. I’m free in the evenings Monday-Wednesdays, available all day Thursdays and Fridays. Available late afternoon Saturdays and Sundays. I’ll follow any instruction that is needed to take care of your pet. I can give baths, play with your pet in the backyard, and I will clean any mess your pet makes. If your animal needs a brush, I don’t mind brushing them. I can give your dog walks around the neighborhood.
“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: Hi! I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a background in doggy daycare services, veterinary medicine, and professional animal care. I worked as a veterinary technician for 3 years and as a zookeeper for 3 years, giving me experience caring for animals with a wide variety of personalities, needs, and temperaments. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and injections, and I’m attentive to changes in an animal’s behavior or health. Our home is shared by our two friendly medium-sized dogs, Allie and Eury, who are great with other pets. We also have three cats and a bearded dragon, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and managing a multi-pet household. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medication, exercise, or simply lots of attention and love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of our own. Monday–Sunday: I work part-time in office and work from home the remainder of the time, so I’m available any day of the week and offer boarding in our home for dogs and cats, including puppies and senior pets. We have a large, fully fenced backyard that is just under half an acre, giving dogs plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. We’re happy to follow your pet’s normal household rules and routines while they’re staying with us. If your pet isn’t allowed on furniture at home, we’ll respect that! Our own dogs are allowed on the furniture, but we’ll maintain whatever boundaries you have established for your pet. We can also provide kennels if your pet is crate trained or prefers a kennel for sleeping, eating, or downtime. Because we have young children in our home, boarding pets must be comfortable around young children. I’m happy to learn about your pet’s personality, routines, quirks, and individual needs before their stay so I can help them feel comfortable and safe.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoy giving them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and keeping pets company. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I’m currently attending school, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for your pet. I’m available around my class schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep your pet supervised, and make sure they are comfortable in their environment. I’ll also provide regular updates so you can feel confident knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Ive taken car of, raised, and trained dogs my entire life. Ive always had a knack for it, and i love it. I’ve administered and given more medications than i can count. Ive dealt with dogs in heat, dogs after surgery. You name it, I've learned my way through it. Let me take care of and love on your babies. And of COURSE they can sleep with me 🫶🏼 I work from home and can maximize time with your baby! I can do any weekend you may need, for check ins, walks, or consistent care. Nightly care is optional through the week, as are walks and check ins. I have a no fence yard. I would be walking them when they need to go potty. If you prefer crates, please bring one. Dogs are allowed to roam free in the home all day, and allowed on furniture.
“Ami is an absolutely FANTASTIC sitter. I wanted to gatekeep how incredible she is so she doesn't get too booked up :). She took such incredible care of my dog while I was out of town and gave me tons of updates. I felt like I never even left my little guy with how fabulous her communication was. She also took great care of my house which is huge for us given how much we travel. 10/10 will be using Ami again for many sits in the future!”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs , cats and farm animals. I also have a cat and bunny I take care of right now. I have taken care of all different sizes of dogs and breeds. I am very used to being around cats as well because I grew up with them. I am free before work and after work during the week. Usually I work from 7:30-2 but it depends on the weather since I’m a landscaper. And I’m available all day on the weekends as well. I will respect your home as well as your pets. Whatever task you want me to do to take care of your pet I will try my best to accomplish it and do it to your standards.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was 10. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and love on their animals. I have a very flexible full time job that allows me to come and go as needed. I always check my schedule to make sure I can. I like to meet the family and pets before I start so that they know who I am and am not a stranger to them. I currently have three family’s that rely on me when they go out of town.
“Corissa was great with our pups! She was also very understanding and flexible when we had last minute schedule changes. I absolutely recommend and will be rebooking with her soon! Our dogs were well cared for and loved on!”


“Kristin was awesome with our dogs. When she came for the first meeting our dogs had no issues with her so we knew it was going to be a great fit for them. She was communicative during her stay while sitting at our home. She sent pictures and was all around a great sitter. We will definitely use Kristin again in the future!”

About: I’ve always been known to have a dog by my side. They were my family and they came first. I cared for them through every stage of life - some adopted as puppies and others rescued in old age. I've trained puppies and administered medications. After loving and losing many dogs, I made a thoughtful decision not to adopt again. Now I devote my time, experience, and full-hearted attention to the daily care of other people’s dogs as I've always done for my own. My goal is to host one dog a day, maybe 2...(if the first parents agree and they enjoy each others' company). I am only available to house-sit (in your home) in special circumstances and if/when I have no daily doggies who require my attention. Advanced notice is required. I operate as a fully insured limited liability company and provide care in a calm, secure, and attentive home environment. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time so each animal receives my full focus, patience, and respect. My yard is fenced and I have no pets or children living here — just quiet space for your dog. I offer a "day camp," not a kennel. Dogs enjoy a fenced front porch and back yard with full furniture privileges. Dog TV and "Calming Music for Dogs" via Alexa are available throughout the stay.
“We worked with Kelsey for the second time to housesit and watch our two dogs and she was FANTASTIC!! She went above and beyond, throwing one of our dogs a little birthday party with peanut butter flavored bubbles and a homemade, doggy-safe cake! She shared so many photos and I could tell in each one that they were having a blast!! Our house is always left in great condition and possibly better than we left it and her communication is exactly what I would hope for. 10/10 would recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy person who will take great care of your home and even better care of your pups.”
About: I am a state certified veterinary technician and also someone who has had a love for all animals since I was a kid. I've been helping all animals personally (and then professionally) for years...actually decades! I treat all fur-babies as I would my own. The unconditional love we receive from our pets is something I treasure and never take for granted. Whether young pups and kittens, or senior dogs and cats, I give them all the attention and love they deserve and crave (especially while their parents/owners are away). My schedule is currently wide open, as I have just moved back to Prospect, KY recently and am looking for the right fit in a veterinary clinic or animal hospital. My schedule is quite flexible, so I can work around yours. With my state certified veterinary technician license I am able to do things that others are not. I can also tell you what may be a start of an ear infection or allergies or nothing at all! I enjoy going to dog parks, taking walks, playing fetch (or keep away haha) but also enjoy the quiet calm time while rubbing bellies and brushing hair. Also dog massages for the senior dogs helps tons with their aches and pains and I more than willing to assist. It actually puts them in a calming trance. Cats and I are a sort of soul mate (maybe it’s the name haha) but I have dealt with watching 5 cats at an owners house and 3 of the 5 had special medical needs that I was more than happy to help! They started booking me a year out ahead of time if they could!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 685 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.
<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 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 , 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.
