About: I have had dogs all my life. I currently have two golden retrievers who run my world! One is 4 and the other is 8 months old. I am available to stay at your house overnight and during long periods of time. I am a full time ultrasound student in Louisville but my school schedule is very flexible so I can come home to let the pups out multiple times per day! I am currently a full-time sonography student in Louisville, but my class schedule is very flexible. I am also available all weekends. I am able to stay overnight and take your pups out multiple times per day. I have two golden retrievers of my own (they are cared for by my dad when I am gone so they would not be coming with me) and they are SPOILED rotten. I will make sure your pup is the same! I am very active and love going on walks so that would be a part of our daily activities.
“Ross did great with our dogs. Two of the three dogs have high needs and medication. We provide a lot of instructions and Ross executed all of them perfectly. Very happy with the experience.”
“Jena was able to book a stay for a very last minute trip. Our normally shy girls warmed up to her right away, and we loved the video updates! We hope she can regularly sit for us!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13 years old and have always had a deep love for animals. Over the years, I’ve helped rescue and care for many pups, giving them a safe, loving, and happy environment. Since high school, I’ve also provided trusted house sitting and pet care for families in my neighborhood, gaining experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and routines. I currently have two large dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger breeds, high-energy pups, feeding schedules, long walks, playtime, and maintaining consistent routines. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always treat every dog like family. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and highly communicative, and I make it a priority to keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Whether it’s dog walking, overnight house sitting, administering basic care, or providing companionship and attention, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel loved, exercised, and stress-free in your absence. I am currently home from college for the summer and have plenty of free time during my day to take care of your pups! I am available to walk your doggo anytime during the day and want to make this process stress-free. If there is a time that your pup does better walking, I want to make that possible for you. For dog walking and pet sitting, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and comfortable experience for every pet. During walks, I make sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and stimulation they need while also prioritizing safety and positive behavior. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including larger breeds, since I have two large dogs of my own. For pet sitting, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away by giving them plenty of companionship and attention. I’m dependable, patient, and highly attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Madison did an amazing job pet-sitting for our golden retriever, Charlie, and our cat, Beesly. She followed all of our instructions carefully, gave both pets excellent care, and treated our home with respect while staying there. We came home to happy pets and everything exactly as we left it, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we would absolutely book with her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Kaylee, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats through friends, family, and people in my community. I've worked with big and small dogs of all personalities and energy levels, as well as cats that need extra patience and care. Because I am currently disabled and unable to work a traditional job, I have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, spend extra time with them, and be available for long visits, overnight stays, or last minute bookings whenever possible. Your pets will never feel rushed or ignored with me. The only service I'm unable to provide is dog walking, but I'm happy to do just about everything else including feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication schedules, overnight care, companionship, and keeping pets comfortable while you're away. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they are part of my own tamily. I also have pets of my own, so l understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, l'Il make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. i am available almost all the time. i can care for your pets for a period of time if needed. i have watched my family’s cats while their on vacation for 1-2 weeks at a time. i just may need to go home and come back in between. i will do whatever is needed to safely take care of your pet while you are away. just let me know what that is for you.
“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.”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She sat my girl for the whole week and she always kept me updated and took photos ! Her communication is the best ! Will definetly use her again !!”
“Emily was amazing. She watched our dogs all day while we were busy with holiday plans. She sent lots of pictures and was so intentional around care. My dogs are a bit reactive and she did great catering to their quirks. She's super friendly, great at communicating and overall and excellent pet sitter for anyone's pets.”
“Catherine was great with our pups! She saved us in a pinch and booked us last minute so we could make our concert! She was very tentative when we gave her instructions and had no issues bonding right to our 3 babies. If we are ever in Louisville again and need our pups watched, she will be our first call! We also got video and picture updates the entire time we were gone! Top tier service!”
“Amber was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Google! She was perfectly on time and followed all of our care instructions to the letter. I really appreciated the constant stream of photo updates throughout the day—it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was being walked and loved on so well. Highly recommended”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for many years, I’ve always grown up around all types of dogs. I’ve pet sat for many friends and family members. I’ve watched puppies and senior dogs, I have also watched animals who need insulin shots!. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of extra time, i love to work with animals and hopefully looking to turn pet sitting into a full time Job. When I care for pets in clients' homes, I focus on maintaining their routines and providing a stress free environment. This includes regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, and plenty of playtime and affection. I also make sure to keep their living areas clean and tidy, and I'm always on the lookout for any changes in behavior or health that might need attention. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away:)
“Leanna was amazing with our babies! She was a wonderful communicator, very responsible, and respectful of our home. Our dogs mean the world to us and being able to go on vacation and relax and not have to worry about them is priceless! Will definitely be hiring her again”
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).
“Bayley took great care of our big boy goldendoodle! She provided frequent updates while we were away and was extremely responsive. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: I have 2 dogs (2 golden retrievers) and 2 cats! I’ve lived my whole life with pets and would love to help out others with theirs! I work at a restaurant as a server so typically only work 5 hours shifts so I am very open to fill food, water, and take dogs on walks or play with cats! I love taking long walks with my dogs, and I am always there to play with them and spend time with them so they feel loved

Allison is a joy and did an absolutely fantastic job of watching Twinkle and Brandy while we were out of town. She kept us informed all along and sent quite a few photos. She's very conscientious and made a point of telling us when she needed to leave the house. We will, 100%, ask her to watch our four-legged family members again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 735 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Yoder. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
