“Found Rosemary to be very reliable in taking care of our pets. She was attentive to our instructions and flexible to unexpected changes. She kept us informed and updated. We really appreciate not having to stress knowing the pets were being taken very good care of while we were away.”
“Pennie was great with an overnight house sitting visit. We got pictures and the pups were happy when we got home. She even did a couple extra things around the house that we appreciated so much! Will def use again!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Ever since I was a kid, animals have been a big part of my life. My grandfather owned a farm, where I helped care for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, and many other animals. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand the unique needs of each animal. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or simply relaxing with companionship, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of attention. I'm dependable, responsible, and committed to keeping pet parents informed. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you'll always know how your furry family member is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with kindness, patience, and respect. My goal is to earn your trust by providing a safe, fun, and loving experience for your pet while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to provide reliable, consistent care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I plan my day around each pet's needs and routine, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it's a quick drop-in, daily walks, or overnight care, I'm committed to being dependable and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so they receive the best possible care. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment while following your feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any medication or care instructions. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a secure environment. During walks, I use safe handling practices and stay alert to my surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love, patience, and respect I'd give my own.
About: Need a sitter? I'm your girl. I work from home, which basically means your dog gets a full-time companion — not someone squeezing them between errands. Here's the deal: boarding, drop-ins, or walks, your pup gets real attention. Playtime, belly rubs, a cozy spot on the couch, and photo updates so you're not sitting at work wondering. I love the wild puppies, I love the grumpy old souls — every dog has their thing, and I figure it out fast. I'm flexible, I reply fast, and I genuinely love doing this. Message me with your dates and let's get your pup booked! 🐾 I love working from home, and living alone gives me the opportunity to create my own schedule! While caring for animals in the comfort of my home. Yes, It will vary. I can care for cats, and small dogs. Or gentle big dogs. In the care of my home. Or the clients home.
“Christina was amazing with our senior dogs. One has epilepsy and the other one other health issues, so they are not that simple to take care of. She did a great job taking care of them. They were very happy with her and not stressed out. She kept me informed the entire time, was responsive, sent photos, and was able to give them their meds and vitamins. She stayed over and was respectful of our home. We recommend her and will be hiring her in the future.”
“Super sweet girl, made sure my dog and my apartment were taken care of overnight while I was gone. Communicated very well and sent pics! Will definitely use her again!”
“Five stars! I had such a great experience. Nahiara took amazing care of my dog and home while I was away. Communication was great. She kept me updated. She sent pictures, and everything was clean and well cared for when I returned. Highly recommend Nahiara and would absolutely use her again!””
“Kaylee was amazing and our dogs abolutely love her to death. She really showed them so much love and affection they were sad to see her leave and keep looking for her to play. She is awesome and really makes your away time less stressful when you see your animals happier than when you are home LOL! Our pups consider her part of their pack now, and she left our house immaculate and followed all the instructions. Our Rotty had a ear infection and her skill in helping him be comfortable was very reissuring and she knew exactly what to do. We love the way she cared for them and we will be inviting her back for our next trips and hope she never leaves Rover! Thank you Kaylee for being so special.”
About: I grew up caring for many kinds of animals and have always been a lover of nature and wildlife. With our family pets, we often fostered cats and dogs, as well as newborn kittens and puppies. I volunteered for the Animal Welfare League in Port Charlotte, FL, caring for cats and dogs of many varieties for several years. I currently have 4 cats of my own, all rescues which I love dearly! It would be an honor for you to trust me with the care of your pet, and I guarantee that I will love and care for them as if they were my own. I have experience with providing cats with basic, routine medical treatments such as pills, topicals, and liquid medications. Communication is important to me, and I will gladly provide you with any updates or answer any questions you may have while I'm looking after your home or pet. I'm currently seeking more self-employment opportunities, so my availability for daily or weekly sitting services is completely open! If you're looking for regular walks/visits, we can work together to schedule according to your pet's needs. You can rely on me to treat your home and pets with integrity and respect. Ensuring the comfort and safety of your animals is my top priority! I will listen to your unique needs and concerns, and provide attentive care.
“This was our second time working with Rachel and she did an excellent job taking care of our dog while we were away. She is prompt, polite, and easy to communicate with.”
“Arianna did such a great job with my pets! We felt nervous leaving our puppy and two cats for two weeks while on vacation, but having Arianna there put us at ease. She constantly sent me updates on how they were doing and did really well to follow my list of instructions. I highly recommend her, and we will definitely be using her services again!”
About: From a young age I have cared for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. This includes, but is not limited to: Lizards, Small birds, and Large parrots. I have a deep passion for animal care and if given the opportunity I will deliver excellent care to your pet! I have cared for young pups and senior pups! In addition to caring for my pets at home, I have 25 hours of service at my hometown dog shelter. My duties included cleaning kennels, refilling water and food, and administering oral medications. My exotic pet care is on par with my dog and cat care, please reach out if you’re interested in exotics pet care, as rover does not have an option for that. Currently I am a college freshman. I am available on weekends anytime. I am also available Thursdays anytime. Tuesdays I am available 9:00 am - 11:00 am, 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm. Fridays I am available after 10:00 am. I have a one year old lab right now, when I am back home with her I take her on walks 2 times a day, plus backyard play time 2 times a day. She is on medications making me capable of administering medications. I also have a 8 year old cockatoo, I also take her on leashed walks, give her outside time, engage in enrichment sessions, and also have administered medications to her before.
About: We have a large fenced in yard. I love animals. I have taken care of dogs all my life. Friends and family have always trusted me with their fur babies. Let me spoil yours. I do accept dogs that are not fixed on a case by case basis. If they mark in my house I will charge a cleaning fee. So please be aware of this. I work from home 100%. Your fur babies will have constant supervision and care. Whether it be for daycare, potty breaks or a week at a time. I do request meet and greets prior to confirming bookings to assure it is safe for your fur babies and mine. TIP do not book with anyone who doesn’t do one. Not safe for all parties. I have a fenced in large yard where they can run around and play. I have a small and medium sized dog that will keep them company. They will get spoiled like they were at home and have all the attention needed. Frequent potty breaks will be offered.
“Erin was absolutely outstanding! She was arrived on time and was extremely communicative, sending us updates daily complete with adorable photos and videos of our babies. She even went out of her way to bathe our two big pups before we returned from our trip, stripped the guest bedroom sheets, and I’m pretty sure she vacuumed for us! One of the most stressful parts of retuning from a long trip is coming home to a dirty house and dirty puppers. She made the transition home seamless and couldn’t have taken better care of our two dogs and two kitties while we were out of town for 5 days! We will definitely be booking with Erin again for our next trip!! 😊”
About: I’ve walked dogs around my neighborhood for the past four years. I have lots of experience with animals— I personally have many different animals such as dogs, cats, and others! I’ve had experience in the veterinary field and want to pursue the veterinary field and become a licensed veterinarian! I am free for whenever is needed! I am hoping to head over to college soon but in the mean time work up some cash! I have been walking dogs around my own neighborhood around four years now. I treat the animals week, in which they are safe and happy!
“Thank you so much for all the updates and for taking such great care of Moose and Minnie it was nice to take a mini vacation and to know our rotten kids were taken care of so well😊”
About: I’ve been caring for pets as long as I can remember. I generally just do it as a favor for friends and relatives. I currently own two dogs. I’m good with any age of a dog or cat. I work everyday during the week. However, I do have time on my lunch break to let animals out depending on the distance. I’m free after 4:30 on business days and 3 on weekends. I don’t have a problem staying the night at someone’s house if it’s needed. I cannot currently dog sit at my house due to one of my dogs being aggressive. He’s very slow to warm up and I don’t want to chance it.

Ruth was great with Milo. Ruth was very communicative and sent photos during their visit. All was well with Milo and the house when we returned (she even changed the sheets so we didn't have to deal with that when we got home from our trip). We will definitely use Ruth again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Youmans is $75 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $89 per night.

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 Youmans 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 Youmans 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 Youmans 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.
