“Jocelyn is an absolute gem! Our fur babies were so loved and well cared for, and we came home to a spotless house. She was incredibly communicative and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.
“Paige did an excellent job sitting for our Belgian Malinois (Hoobie) and our Chocolate Labrador (Bella). Paige was timely and efficient, spending much time playing with the dogs and making sure they were comfortable. Paige had come by several days before to meet the dogs, and when she showed up the day of sitting the dogs were thrilled to see her! Handling two dogs at once (especially a Malinois!) can be challenging, but Paige made it look easy, you can tell she loves dogs and all animals! We highly recommend Paige, and will be asking her to dog sit again soon!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. We currently have a 3 year old puppy of our own! She is a wild girl but I love her to death and she’s my world. I switched from remote work to full time in the office so I am tag teaming with my fiancé with taking care of our pup and any requests. When I’m not working, I can watch dogs on the weekends and after work. I will keep my calendar updated. I let my own puppy roam during the day. She sleeps with us at night as well. We accommodate dogs on how they are treated at their own homes.
“Chelsea took fantastic care of our two dogs! She was punctual, communicative, and left the house just as she found it. I appreciated the many pictures we received during her stay with the dogs and I was confident in her ability to take great care of them. Would not hesitate to book Chelsea again the next time we are away!”
About: I lost my first fur babe (and best friend of 15 years) a few years ago. Shortly after, my first failed foster passed away very unexpectedly at 14 years from heart disease. I've been working with foster animals since I was 21 years old, babysitting all the animals of my friends and family for a very long time, my whole life actually! For the past few years my house has been quiet and empty with less hair and lots of space for quite a few friends to keep me occupied and on my toes! I miss the unconditional love and am ready for some animal cuddles and craziness! I think this is an excellent opportunity for me to give some love to other animals, add some humor to my day and enjoy pets without actually having one in my house forever right now! Thank you in advance for filling my heart and cup at the same time! I work from home and can decide my own schedule so I have plenty of time for fun and to care for whatever your pet might require! I'm like one of those crazy helicopter moms, except i have zero children...i'm just crazy with animals instead! I know lots are easy but some can be an absolute handful at times and I've had my fair share of getting to know all the baggage they can come with! I have a very keen eye for detail and know how to be extremely cautious, seeing issues before they ever happen. Trust is huge when it comes to your pet being in the care of someone else, especially a stranger and i understand this can be very scary for many pet owners! I get you, I was you and I can promise to give the best love and care for your animal babe while you're away!

“Excellent expirience all around. This was our first time using Rover after our original sitter fell through. Chris was fantastic at communicating and sent so many updates and photos we felt like our dogs were with us on our trip. Chris not only let our dogs out and fed them but really cared for them and made sure they were happy and comfortable while we were gone. We will absolutely use Chris again!”
About: Hi, I’m Sarah. Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. This background gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior and taught me the responsibility it takes to keep pets happy, healthy, and safe. I love connecting with animals of all shapes and sizes, and I bring that dedicated, farm-raised work ethic to every pet I watch. It fits in with the care that I provide for my pet. Strict feedings schedules, walks, attention, bathroom breaks and being aware of how a pet is acting. Respect for the clients' rules about how they want their pet cared for and respect for their personal space. Also, making sure animals get along.

“Kathy was wonderful with my little boy Finley. He and I both have separation anxiety and Kathy was great. She jumped right in and filled my shoes beautifully. He immediately bonded with her and was so happy, which made me so happy. I was actually able to enjoy my vacation with zero anxiety!! That was truly a first! Thank you, Kathy. You are the best!”

So appreciative of Kailyn and what great care she took of Hazel and our home. And she did this while not feeling well. Her communication is exactly what we are always looking for. Quick to respond and she was proactive letting us know when she would be leaving the house. Highly recommend and look forward to using her again. Thank you Kailyn!
Chelsea stayed in my home with my two senior cats and senior dog for two nights and was a dream! She was very communicative, sent great updates, treated my furbabies like they were her own, and left my home in great shape. I so appreciated her care and effort for my pets and I definitely recommend her services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll certainly be booking Chelsea again in the future!
Selina has always been great with Moo! I always get prompt and detailed communication. He seems really comfortable with her which is very important to me. She went above and beyond this time around to make sure moo had enough company while we were gone. Selina is my first choice cat sitter :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Youngsburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,508 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Youngsburg. 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 Youngsburg 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 Youngsburg 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 Youngsburg 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
