Catecha was wonderful in every way. Our dog took to her immediately and they obviously fell in love. We were nervous because Roki had NEVER in his 14 years stayed with anyone he hadn't known all his life. Catecha. Sent photos and reports almost every day We highly recommend Catecha and will ask for her if we have future dog free trips

She was so wonderful and great, especially dealing with our little rescue puppy who is not always the most friendly. The dogs were all happy and i received lots of photos of them all napping away…. if they were all napping then they were relaxed calm and good with her presence. She is super responsive and I will use her again.

Kira was amazing and the peace of mind we needed for our time away from home! She was so amenable to all the craziness of our cat-filled home, and was so kind, friendly, and respectful! Our multiple cat home was in great hands! We came back to a clean home, and five happy kitties! We will definitely book with Kira again for our next trip!

About: I love being active and outdoors, dogs always have a special place in my heart. I am currently a veterinarian assistant and have been working with animals for over 7 years through the military. I have been trained on: first aid, grooming, hygiene, and care for all animals. Working with dogs of all sizes helps me better my skills so I can someday be a vetanarian and open my own hospital. I strongly believe that dogs are men best friend and should be treated with the best care and love. Running around with young and energetic dogs or walking and relaxing with older and relaxed dogs I love them both. And I look forward to having this great opertonity and experience with your dog. I work relief for a vet hospital but my availability is very flexible. I am able to take your pet out twice a day if needed. I have a fenced in back yard and a nice neighborhood where we are able to run and walk with our dogs. So there is plenty of space to play and relax.

About: My experience started when I was younger and raised 14 cats. I also cared for two large Rhodesian Ridgebacks and trained them from 8 weeks old. I currently have a golden retriever (10 yo) and two pit bulls (5 yo and 13 yo). I am an avid dog lover and very intuitive and attentive to individual dog needs. I currently work part-time as a clinical research consultant and work from home. I enjoy spending time outdoors as much as possible and having a furry companion with me is a plus! I am a very organized, clean and considerate individual that will respect your home even more than I do mine. I believe in the Marie Kondo method and structure my life and space accordingly. I will follow whatever routine the pets are used to and give lots of snuggles and attention.

About: Caring for pets and house sitting has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’m just getting started here on Rover, but I have over 15 years of experience managing homes and caring for all kinds of animals. Whether looking after my own pets or stepping in to help others, I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to every detail. Having owned a senior pets myself, I understand the patience, gentle touch, and close monitoring they require. I am fully trained and comfortable administering medications, including oral doses and injections, so you can travel with total peace of mind knowing your pet's health is in expert hands. My schedule is currently flexible and I'm eager to help you and your furry friends. I'm usually available after after a 24 hour notice. For House Sitting or Drop-Ins I treat your home with the utmost respect and strictly follow your security routines. I ensure all doors, windows, and gates are locked securely behind me. During visits, your pets are kept on a leash in unfenced areas. For Dog Walking Your dog's physical safety is my primary focus. I double-check all equipment (collars, harnesses, and leashes) before we leave the house and strictly avoid high-traffic or hazardous walking paths. I keep dogs on-leash at all times and remain highly alert to other dogs and traffic in your neighborhood.

About: Hi, my name is Ashley, and I am a middle school educator. Outside of teaching and working with students, I have a huge love for dogs. I have three family dogs, two girls and one boy, and I truly enjoy each of their unique personalities. Funny enough, my boy dog’s birthday is the day before mine, so I always joke that we have the same personality! I have always been the type of person who instantly notices dogs wherever I go. Whether I’m walking around town or traveling on vacation, I’m usually the one saying, “Oh my gosh, look at that dog! I want to go pet them!” I even find myself feeling emotional when I see stray dogs because I wish every dog had a loving home. Animals bring so much joy, and being around dogs has always been something that makes me genuinely happy. I am currently a school teacher, so during summer break I have open availability and more flexibility to provide pet care throughout the day. Once the school year begins, my availability will mainly be during evenings throughout the week and on weekends. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I do my best to follow the care instructions provided by their owner. Pet care for me includes making sure they receive their meals on time, have fresh water, go on their daily walks or potty breaks, and get plenty of attention. I also love spending time playing, cuddling, and giving them affection so they feel cared for while their family is away.

I like taking walks, runs, and playing.. I’m usually available person.. I would want a bond with your dog and be able to be there for your animal anytime you’re not available to.. I will nurture your dog make them feel safe and be able to trust me.. I don’t have much of a special kills as far as teaching your dog how to do tricks lol but I can at least try.

Janie was absolutely fabulous, start to finish. My dog immediately loved her, and I knew the cats would be a little bit standoffish, but she got everybody taken care of. I sure hope she'll come and take care of my little menagerie again!

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently care for my energetic 2-year-old dog, Aspen, previously raised a family dog from puppyhood through their senior years, and fostered to own two cats. I’m comfortable caring for both young, high-energy dogs and older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar routine, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in reliable and caring hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I’m currently on paternity leave until the fall, so I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide reliable care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m able to give them the attention they deserve instead of rushing through visits. I enjoy being active with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. At home, my 2-year-old dog, Aspen, has a structured routine that includes daily walks, plenty of playtime, mental enrichment, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to her health and well-being by preparing nutritious homemade meals with quality ingredients, providing healthy treats, keeping her clean with oatmeal baths, and making sure she has safe, durable toys to keep her engaged. When caring for a client’s pet, I know every dog has different needs and routines, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication if needed, going on walks, playing fetch, providing companionship, or simply giving extra cuddles and reassurance, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own dog.

About: I have taken care of animals for over 20 years for family and friends. My experience has been with Dogs. Additionally, I have a canine handler certification through Iron Dog K9 International. My current work schedule is mobile and remote, it permits me the availability to house and animal sit for your pets during the week and weekends. I care for pets in the comfort of their familiar environment, which helps reduce anxiety, especially for older or sensitive animals. I follow all instructions provided — feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes or cages, administering medications, etc. I also handle small household tasks if requested, like bringing in mail or watering plants. Daily updates, including photos and notes on how your pet is doing, are always included. Respecting your space and your pet’s routine is my top priority.

This girl did not miss a beat. She watched our whole firy family for a week and a half and even stayed overnight with them. She was prompt to alert me To abnormal behavior from my older kitty and made sure he was taken care of at the vet. The best part was that she gave extra attention to that kitty for the remainder of the visit like I would have. All of the meds were given and even my vet commented on how well she was doing with my kitty. She updated me consistently for all the pets and set pictures/videos. She even took the trash out to the street and filled the bird feeders I would hire her again for anything pet related !!

Alexis was fantastic! Never once did I have to wonder how my baby was doing because she kept me up to date the entire time. She sends plenty of pictures and videos.....that warmed my heart. And, she knew how Jersey loves to go for rides, so Alexis didn't hesitate to let Jersey tag along....even to get a pup cup! Lol I can't wait to book with Alexis again. Even my parents said how great she was! Excellent communicator! Thank you for your services, Alexis!

First time using Rover! What a great experience! Our sitter was so communicative, sending us pictures and videos of our Rocky. She was on time, very good with our Senior dog, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving her in our home with our dog. Def recommend her if you're looking for someone to take good care of your pet!

FAQs for House Sitting - Abide Awhile

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Abide Awhile on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,920 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Abide Awhile. 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 Abide Awhile 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 Abide Awhile 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 Abide Awhile 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Abide Awhile. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
