“Michelle was just fantastic with our dogs! Her communication was outstanding, and we came home to very happy, very relaxed pups! We highly recommend Michelle and will definitely have her again any time!”
About: I have years of experience between animals, livestock, babies, and senior care. I breed Australian shepherds and Japanese Akitas, and currently own chickens. I do own my own house and with a decent size fenced backyard. I’m available all day of the week. If I have to step out, I have cameras all over my house and around my house. I have a fenced yard, cameras all over the outside of my house and in the inside as well. There is always someone at my house.
About: I love animals! I have an almost 4 year old goldendoodle that is the light of my life. I would love to treat your fur family like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I'm able to stick closely to their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and potty schedules while ensuring they aren't left alone for long periods. Because of my flexible schedule, I can give pets regular exercise, lots of affection, and consistent care throughout the day and evening. Whether it's a midday walk, play session, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I follow all feeding, walking, playtime, and medication instructions carefully and make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. I keep pet areas clean, ensure fresh water is always available, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is to help pets feel happy and secure in their own environment and to make the experience as seamless as possible for both pets and their owners.
“Victoria exceeded all expectations! I have 2 cats (15 & 6) that both required different levels of care and Victoria was able to handle both of them. She was very thorough in her prep and we had a video consult to go over all expectations, requests, questions, etc. She was detailed and asked questions I hadn’t even thought to cover. During the pet sitting, she kept me updated at all time and provided pictures to let me know the girls were doing okay. My 15 year old cat requires multiple medications that can sometimes be difficult to administer and she was able to administer with no issues. Nothing about this was a negative experience and I would recommend her to anyone!! I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
“This is the 2nd time I’ve used Juliza. She took excellent care of all the pets! She plays with them and pampers them . She also sends pics and reports on how they r doing. I definitely recommend her!”
“We rebooked Courtney to watch our pups for a week and she was amazing. She housesat for us as well and she really did treat our home as if it were her own. I have zero complaints and would rebook her again without any hesitation.”
“This is the 2nd time I have used Eva and I will definitely book her again. This time we had a new dog. My Nova is very skittish and anxious. I have been working with her since January and everything is new to her. I knew she would shut down again if I tried to put her in a kennel situation. Eva came and met her and took the time to make her feel comfortable and safe. She is a great sitter! I received lots of updates and pics! Would highly recommend her!”
“Diane was such a joy to work with. I wish I'd found her years ago. It's so very hard to leave our babies in the care of another and not be worried. Diane cared for mine as if they were her own. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a caregiver.”
“Lucrecia was great! Our dog is a bit nervous when we leave, so we tend to go overboard on instructions. Lucrecia was very understanding and our Zeus seems very happy and relaxed around her.”
“Sara was amazing! She was reliable, attentive and kept us updated with photos and messages. We returned home to happy and relaxed pups, and a clean house. It's clear she truly loves animals and treats them as her own. We highly recommend Sara and will definitely book her again!🐾”

“Britney did a fantastic job looking after our sweet girl, Lola! She went above and beyond by taking Lola to the park for exercise and caring for Lola as if she was her own! Lola made a quick bond with Britney and was immediately comfortable with her. We will definitely use Britney's services again in the future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Zipp
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Zipp on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of June 2026, there are 1,605 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Zipp. 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 Zipp 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 Zipp 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 Zipp 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.
