“Penny took amazing care of my Nala. Sent pictures every day, which made me feel so much better about leaving her while I went away. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to take care of my fur baby. I would recommend Penny for anyone who’s looking for a pet sitter.”
“I can't say enough good things. We were a little stressed about leaving Guapo (our anxious and sometimes reactive pittie mix) with someone new on short notice over the holiday weekend, but Bishop was willing to come do a meet and greet prior to staying over and was absolutely great. Guapo took to him easily and was so well cared for - I also appreciated the quick check ins and pics to reassure us he was doing okay. This was such a relief and we will definitely reach out for future bookings!”

“Michelle was perfect. She was so sweet and loving. We had a meeting before hand to make sure she was comfortable with our crew and it went great you can tell she has a big heart for animals. Our kitty Callie has some special needs and hasn't been feeling great she was really understanding and accommodating. We will definitely use Michelle for our pets again!”
“It was wonderful to be able to go visit family (some are allergic to dogs) and know that Mochi, CiCi and Nala were in good hands. Dajon did a wonderful job and the dogs loved him. He sent pictures which made us happy to see how happy the dogs were. Thank you Dajon!”
“Christine is the best! As a first-time Rover user, going oversees, leaving a menagerie of animals...Christine put my mind at rest. She did an excellent job for of caring for each of my pets and keeping me up to date of everything by sending many precious photos. My home and plants were also very well cared full. I'm very grateful to have found her and will certainly use her again!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 25 years. I have owned dogs from goldens to Boston’s and helped take care of dogs of all sizes in between. We currently have two one year old cats, who turned me from tolerable to cats to adoring them in a short period of time. I work from home, except when traveling, which are typically 24-hr trips, during the week. I am happy to do drop-ins or stays depending on availability Your pets will be taken care of as if you were home. I will do everything I can to maintain the same routine from breakfast/lunch/dinner times, to walks and playtime.
“Kam was such a blessing to us! She was caring and attentive and affectionate to my furry friends and went above and beyond for everyone even when she didn't have to. She booked with us last minute and put up with so many directions and last minute changes and surprises. I can't say enough about her. Thank you so much Kam. 🙏🙏🙏❤️”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life! I love spending time with animals and going on walks with them, or just relaxing at home and playing with them. I work from home full time. I love animals and this would be perfect for me to do. I am home all day and am able to watch them and let them out to play and use the bathroom frequently. I live in an apartment right next to a park! i make sure that i'm very cautious when walking and am always paying attention to your pet.
About: Hi! My name is Marae. A little about me: I grew up in a home filled with a love for all animals, especially dogs and cats. From feeding and grooming to playtime, giving medication and comforting them when they were anxious, I learned early on how to understand their unique personalities and needs. Because animals have always been such an important part of my life, working with them feels completely natural to me and I truly enjoy it! When I worked at a pet boarding facility, I cared for a wide variety of dogs and cats, each with their own routines, personalities, and preferences. I always made it a priority to ensure every pet felt safe, comfortable, and loved while their families were away. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m also a proud cat mom to three: Luna Storm, Chanse the Rapper (he talks a lot, hence the name), and Giovanni Grey. My schedule is flexible and I am normally available even with little notice. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet soon! Im currently working a full time work at home job. Im typically off by 3:00pm but can be off earlier if need be! :) I also have a lot of time open on the weekends. I have a lot of experience taking care of others animals! Something I'm most proud of is being able to read body language and reactions from each pets as each are so different!
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. I have trained my own dogs and previously worked as a pet sitter while I was in college. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll provide them with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own! I am currently enrolled in online classes, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your pets. whatever their needs are. I care for pets by following their routines, providing food, water, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet like my own.
“Nicole was great with our cats! We're transitioning out cats' diets. Not only was Nicole very flexible with our guidelines, but she was also able to help answer all of our curiosity questions as needed cat owners, ourselves!”
“If you can get Brittany to dog sit/house sit, you won't be disappointed. She's incredibly professional, punctual and connects immediately with your animals. My senior dogs bonded quickly with her and seemed disappointed that I was the one that came back. She was also very responsive and would send pictures occasionally of how they were doing. They seemed to have the best time with her. Just book her, she's incredibly gifted at this.”

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Arlie! She means the absolute world to us, and knowing she was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. We really appreciated your attention to detail, the updates, and all the pictures. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our girl was happy, loved, and well cared for. We can’t thank you enough! 🐾❤️
Nicole is great - can’t recommend her enough. She sends lots of pictures and updates and even blew up balloons to celebrate our pup’s birthday when we were away at a wedding. She’s incredibly dependable - she was able to jump in for us when someone we’d had booked for months needed to cancel - luckily we had met Nicole the last time that happened and already knew she was great! We so so appreciate how attentive she is!
Ashly is great - she sends occasional photo updates so you know your babies are doing great and communicates quickly. She also brought in packages (even big bags of dog food and litter trays we didn’t realize were coming while we were gone) and helped keep an eye on the garden while we were out! She was also flexible with us changing dates when we wanted to get home a night sooner to see the babies!
Kaelin is so amazing with our Senior Gentleman kitty!🐈⬛ I know he snuggled and loved the whole time we are gone. She is great at giving him meds and giving me updates on his health while away. I have no stress or fear while away as Kaelin gives us peace of mind while she is with our little lovey boy. She is wonderful!
Deanna is the dog walker we've been looking for! She was able to help us last minute and was absolutely amazing. Her communication was perfect, we never wondered how our pups were doing or what services she was providing. She is our new go-to dog walker, and would recommend anybody.
It was wonderful to be able to go visit family (some are allergic to dogs) and know that Mochi, CiCi and Nala were in good hands. Dajon did a wonderful job and the dogs loved him. He sent pictures which made us happy to see how happy the dogs were. Thank you Dajon!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Zimmer on Rover is $28.86 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,503 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Zimmer. 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 Zimmer 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 Zimmer 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 Zimmer 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
