“This was our first time using Rover, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Odalis. We left our three dogs in her care from May 28 through June 4, including a puppy who had never been away from us before. Naturally, I was nervous, but Odalis immediately put my mind at ease. Our puppy looked like he was having the absolute time of his life! It was clear from the updates, photos, and his demeanor when we returned that he was loved, cared for, and completely comfortable. She treated all three of our dogs as if they were her own. As first-time Rover users, I’m sure my instructions weren’t the most organized or efficient, but Odalis handled everything with patience, flexibility, and professionalism. She adapted effortlessly and made the entire process stress-free for our family. Coming home to happy, healthy, relaxed dogs was such a gift. Knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. Odalis exceeded every expectation we had, and I would trust her with our dogs again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with animals, I cannot recommend Odalis highly enough. We are so grateful for the incredible care she provided to our three dogs.”
“This is thw first time I used Cali. She was prompt. She sent pictures. Babies were happy and healthy when I got home. Ahe even went above and beyond and did some housework for me!”
“Jordyn was awesome! My dogs loved her. She was responsive, attentive, cautious and overall made me feel very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care for my time away. I will be rebooking. Thank you Jordyn!”
“She is amazing! She took care of our two dogs for two weeks during Christmas break and couldn’t be hallier with her work. She is dedicated, thoughtful, and caring. If you are looking for someone who will truly care for your pets and be 100% committed to providing excellent care then look no further.”
“Stacy took great care of my fur baby! She sent me daily updates and pictures of him, and made sure to spend so much time giving him attention. This was my first time leaving Bentley, and I felt so comfortable leaving him in such great hands! She even took him on extra walks, and I couldn’t be more grateful :)”
“Victoria was amazing with our fur babies and they really seemed to like her! Great communication. Highly recommend! We will definitely use her for our pet sitting needs in the future.”
“Nina stayed in my home with my two mini schnauzers and I’m so happy she did! She gave my pups excellent care, even giving injections to my diabetic dog and checking his glucose. She sent me many pictures and updates throughout the day, letting me know when he had his injections, etc.. Nina took excellent care of my home as well. It was wonderful to get out of town for a couple of days and feel confident that my dogs were well cared for and loved on. I highly recommend Nina!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for pets comes very naturally to me. I currently have two cats — including one I’ve cared for for over 9 years — and two dogs: a husky and an adopted chihuahua mix. Having both high-energy and small rescue dogs has given me experience understanding different personalities, energy levels, and comfort needs. I also grew up with a Siamese cat and a cocker spaniel and have helped care for family pets for over 10 years. Because of that, I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments, from playful and energetic pets to shy, anxious, or more independent ones. One thing that sets me apart is that I genuinely pay attention to each pet’s behavior and routine. I know how important consistency, patience, and trust are, especially for rescue animals or pets that take time to warm up to new people. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, basic medication routines, reinforcing household rules, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else. I always treat animals with the same level of care, attention, and affection that I would want for my own pets, and I make communication with owners a priority so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. As a freelance artist and marketing professional, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. Since much of my work is remote and project-based, I’m able to plan my schedule around pet care responsibilities, including walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and pet sitting fits naturally into my lifestyle because it allows me to combine flexibility, responsibility, and something I truly love doing. I care for pets by keeping them on a consistent and reliable routine that helps them feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for. In my own home, I maintain regular feeding and walking schedules for my dogs and cats while also paying close attention to each pet’s individual personality, comfort level, and needs. I know that every animal is different — some pets need lots of play and attention, while others prefer a calm environment, patience, and space to warm up. I’ve always loved animals and truly enjoy building trust with them and learning their routines, habits, and personalities. I currently care for both dogs and cats of very different temperaments and energy levels, which has taught me how important individualized care is for helping pets feel secure and happy. I also have experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pets, including animals with dietary preferences, food restrictions, and medication routines. I understand how important it is to carefully follow instructions and keep pets on the routines they’re familiar with while their owners are away. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to a special feeding schedule, giving long walks and exercise, or simply providing companionship and affection, I always aim to treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own animals.
About: I have cared for all types of animals my whole life; furry, scales, feathers, and even farm animals. I firmly believe they are not just pets but part of the family. I am AKC certified trainer I can give medications and handle special diets Any age and breed is welcome and accepted Behavioral challenges are also okay I can train, bath/clip nails, walk, drop in and feed/play. I care for my babies daily. I have multiple dogs, 1 cat and a couple reptiles. I also work somewhere that I care for fish, reptiles and small animals. I feed, bath/groom, provide any necessary medications and check health on the daily both at home and at work. I am open and available for most care jobs and routines no matter the age, breed, or behaviorial issues. I will make sure they are loved and get everything they need.
About: Hi! I’m Gloria! I graduated from Penn foster last year to become a Veterinary Technician and I’m taking my VTNE to become a licensed veterinary technician in October and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in both hospital and clinical settings. I specialize in providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care for pets of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra patience or medical awareness. My background includes assisting with procedures, monitoring recovery, supporting medication routines, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. Because of my experience, I’m especially confident caring for: • Senior pets • Pets with anxiety or special needs • Pets requiring medications or close observation • Multi-pet households I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent, providing lots of attention and comfort, and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease. My goal is simple — to provide reliable, professional care so your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart, yes I can give medications but I don’t know how to give insulin to diabetic patients. ✔ 8 years veterinary experience ✔ Comfortable with medications & special care ✔ Experienced with senior and anxious pets ✔ Strong attention to safety and behavior changes ✔ Reliable communication with daily updates ✔ Calm, patient, and dependable I’m available Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm for dog sitting, dog walking, or house sitting and if have cats I can take care of them as well. I plan to dog or cat sit at the comfort of the owners home but if they need to come to my home for any reason my home is fenced and I do have kennels and extra food and water and I do have two dogs who are super sweet and kind. I also have a cat and he gets along with dogs and cats if you need me to cat sit your cat at my home I can do that as well
“It was great to have Gina care for my 3 four legged babies. Looking forward to our next booking. She is very loving and my babies love her, and she is very respectful and responsible.”
“5 Stars for Kathy! Being new to the area, not knowing anyone & leaving our baby for the 1st time was a little unnerving to say the least. Kathy put us at ease the first time we met with her. She has a very calming & peaceful demeanor. We found Kathy to be reliable, trustworthy, dependable & most importantly, she took excellent care of our baby! She sent us updates & pictures which helped put our minds at ease while we were gone & is quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend her services & we will definitely use her again! Thank you so very much Kathy & Rover, for a wonderful service & great experience, we truly appreciate it! ~The Daly's?”

About: I have around 8 years of pet sitting experience and have taken care of cats, dogs, birds, and more! My family has 5 dogs of various sizes and breeds, so I am comfortable with dogs of any kind. I also grew up with four cats and have around 5 years of cat sitting experience.

I only work part time and can provide overnight care in your house! I am willing to make as many visits to your pet as you are comfortable with. While I cannot offer boarding services in my home, I am able to provide whatever care you would like in your pet’s normal environment! I am a punctual and dedicated worker with experience caring for all sorts of animals.

FAQs for House Sitting - Youens
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Youens on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,011 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Youens. 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 Youens 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 Youens 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 Youens 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 Youens. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
