“Our pugs loved hanging out with Leigh for the day. Leigh sent photos and updates throughout the day and was super flexible with time. Thanks Leigh! Looking forward to booking again.”
“Caitlyn watched our pup while we were on vacation for almost a week. Our house looks spotless upon returning and our pup was so happy to see us. We got daily updates which were great and gave us peace of mind knowing that he was well taken care of!”
“I would give Anna & Patrick a 5 star review! We have a 3 senior fur babies all with completely different personalities and needs and we were so nervous having to leave them. Anna & Patrick were kind and caring not only to our fur babies but were also very understanding of our stressors and they did everything to make our trip successful. When we returned home our babies were not stressed at all! That is a HUGE reassurance that they were well taken care of while we were away. Our home was also in better shape than when we left it. We are so grateful to have found such wonderful, trustworthy, and caring people. I can’t thank them enough and will definitely rebook.”
About: Hi everyone! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15, and walking dogs since I was 10 years old. I have pet-sat a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and guinea pigs. I also have experience with any age or health status- senior dogs, kittens, medicated pets, etc. In general, I’ve experienced many different circumstances, so I can adjust easily. Animals have been a lifelong interest for me. I was the girl begging my parents for a dog, and I take care of my current roommate’s cat frequently while she’s away. I promise to nourish, entertain, and take care of your pet like they’re my own. I'm currently a college senior, though I only have on-campus classes twice a week. This means I can be present quite often for your pet. 4-6 hours or more between feeding/potty breaks is ideal for me. Besides that, I'm quite flexible. In my college house, we already have a cat, and my family back home has a dog; needless to say, I'm used to caring for pets in my free time. I can only pet-sit at the client's house. Due to my roommates and the cat we have, I'm unable to board a pet. I always keep a close eye on the pet's behavior and ensure they're fed on time every day. If they get into something, I'll clean them up no problem. I also have a list of emergency vets I'm prepared to go to if the client doesn't have a preferred vet of their own. However, my specific care of the pet(s) depends on the client's instructions and preferences.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for practically my entire life. My household has reached its limit on pets but I would love to care and help out any pets I can. I’ve fostered with Young Williams many times. I love dogs of any ages! I’m currently stay at home and so I can give my full attention to any pets in my home! My own dogs are good companions and love friends I have a fenced in backyard and two dogs of my own, as well as a separate bedroom for any dogs in need of their own space. My dogs are crate trained and can be put away at any time to make another pup feel welcome and calmed! Routine is big in this house and always makes the animals feel better.
About: I’ve worked in dog daycare and boarding for six years as well as taking care of my pets. I also have some experience taking care of horses and sheep. I’m generally available weekdays from 11 AM–2 PM, with evening flexibility from 4–6 PM as needed. I’m also available on weekends. I have extensive experience caring for animals of all kinds, beginning in childhood, and I’m committed to providing your pet with attentive, dependable, and compassionate care.
“Cassondra housesat and watched our 1 yr old dog and 2 cats while were were gone for over a week- I was nervous as we had not been away from our dig since adopting her, and she has some anxiety. Cassondra took excellent care of all our animals, everyone was healthy and happy when we returned! She sent us regular updates and pictures, handled any minor things that happened, and left our house spotless. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Great communication and did such a good job with the furry babies. She played with them constantly and they were so happy and healthy when we got home. She also cleaned up before we left which we don’t expect but always appreciate so much. Highly recommend!”
“Sydney was amazing with all of my fur babies. The dogs and cats loved her! Even my antisocial cat! She never goes around new people but she showed her face just after a day! They were all taken very good care of and I would definitely use her again!”
“MaShon is an amazing pet sitter! She is so kind and thoughtful you can really tell she cares about your pets! She is also a great communicator before, during and after your reservation. We couldn't be happier with her services and would absolutely hire her again.”
“Katy was wonderful with our animals, as usual. I think our St Bernard. Max, really missed all the love he received from her. Katy was sitting for us when the terrible storm came through our area. She let us know about it and tried to set things right outside. Katy goes over and above what's expected. We always plan our time away around Katy's schedule! Thank you Katy”

About: Love all animals! Big and small! Love to go on walks and let them have fun and play! I like to take pictures of them as well, and keep you updated along the way! I am self employed so I have a very flexible schedule and can manage my time and make sure I am going to be available when I say I am and be there to attend to the pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions before their stay or visit. I understand that every pet is different and I am willing to accommodate each and every need they may have.
“Hannah did a awesome job! She took great care of my dogs! I came home to a clean apartment and happy, healthy dogs... that honestly didn't seem to miss me too much, HAHA. She sent me pictures of my sweet boys and even responded to a late night text from me when I was worried about my old boys being stressed. She completely understood and ran back over to my house to check up on them even though she had just left them a couple hours earlier. She even took the time to feed them and let them out right before I got home so they would be taken care of and I would be able to relax and just enjoy being with them. I have already sent in a request for her to watch my dogs again! Hannah is awesome!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 639 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Zacharytown. 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 Zacharytown 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 Zacharytown 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 Zacharytown 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.
