“She was an exceptional pet sitter, demonstrating great attentiveness and care. I have four dogs and a cat, each with different needs—from an elderly dog requiring medication and extra gentle attention to young, energetic dogs that thrive on play. She responded promptly to all situations, ensuring each pet received the appropriate care and affection.”
“Erica was amazing with our babies! We have a senior pup that needs special attention and Erica took extra special care for her and did amazing. We were so pleased we immediately book her for another longer stay. She is now our go to person!!”
“Enya did a great job with my cat Buster. He was doing very well when we got home from vacation. She sent photos and communicated well while we were gone. I would use her again and recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I’ve always had multiple dogs at a time growing up as well. I love animals and it would be a pleasure to keep your fur babies safe while you’re away! 🩷 I work mostly part time at a restaurant! My shifts are only 4-5 hour shifts! I work 4 days out of the work week and 1 day on the weekend! I care for the pets by making sure they are fed and taken care of! Potty breaks of course & if any of the pets need any medications.
“Taylor was great! She was very communicative and our dogs loved having her! She sent pictures of her visit which gave us huge peace of mind. We will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“Alice was amazing! Her communication throughout the day was stellar, she was always swift to respond my texts and sent photos and videos at consistent morning, afternoon evening milestones. All those efforts really allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my little one was in good hands. I will definitely be a regular.”
About: I got a dog just recently and I love her as if she's my own daughter. I am a better person because of her, and I am so glad that I rescued her and gave her a home with so much love and attention. I do a lot of work at home stuff on my PC as well as a lot of Doordash, Instacart, etc. when I am not busy at home. I am very flexible and care about giving humans and animals a sense of safety when dealing with me. I tell them and show them what I do as well as have an open conversation about everything upfront. I honestly like getting to know people first before doing business.
“This was a great experience. I feel our Bumpus was well cared for and content upon our return. Happy dog and happy dog mom. Our house was neat and our property was respected. GREAT communication and lots of pics.”
About: I am a proud parent of a (king shepherd) named Anubis. I have recently lost my Lacey at her young age of 14 due to cancer. When a friend told me about this adorable puppy she was looking to find a home for who was abused and abandoned by the breeders due to him having flaws, I immediately knew I wanted him when she told me that. My friend showed up to my door with a puppy he was 8 months old and about 110lbs! He is now 150lbs and the happiest pup ever. I am able to choose what shift I want to take at my job therefore I am able to spend my days helping people with their fur babies as much as possible. I have a decent sized back yard, plus I will be home with the fur babies to play with them and walk and feed them.
“I was so pleased with Tania, would I book her again absolutely. I probably have to leave Kittycat no more than twice a year and so she is not use to having a person she doesn’t know live in her house, but Tania loved her and took care of her so well the pictures that Tania sent showed how Kittycat was completely comfortable and well looked after. Thank you again Tania.”
“My quick review is Cidell was prompt, knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy with house sitting my dog - I highly recommend him for your pet sitting needs! Now here’s the details: Cidell house sit my Rott boxer mix for 3 nights. Tank, my dog, was extra stressed due to my son recently moving out of the house and then the fact that he had never stayed with a stranger that long. Cidell was amazing- he kept me updated on Tanks well being, and by day 3 Tank was more calm and relaxed then when Cidell first arrived. I felt assured Tank was in good hands and Cidell was great at keeping him to his daily routine. It was also nice coming home and seeing the house in the exact same condition as when I left. I don’t normally leave reviews, but I am so impressed with the professional and caring manner that he dealt with Tank, that I wanted to let people know Cidell is your guy if he is available.”

About: I've grown up around animals from cats and dogs to cows and horses. Big or small, I love them all. Outside of my own, I've been taking care of animals for the past 15+ years. You won't have to question if your pet is okay, because I communicate as much or as little as you prefer. The main thing I have to schedule around is my once a month weekend training. Other than that, I will be clear on my availability so that you don't have to question if I'm available or not. I live with a large dog, 2 medium dogs, and a cat of my own, so I'm okay with variety. If you have specific conditions or instructions for your pet, I will follow them to the T to ensure your pet is getting the best care.
“We had a fantastic experience with Kristy from the meet and greet to her stay with my dog Emma. She was really sweet, and it was clear from her updates and pictures that Emma loved her. She helped me through a last minute schedule change, and it was so appreciated. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Kristy again!”
“Karla was Great! She communicated very well and kept us up to date with pictures all through out our Vacation! It was great knowing our Pups were in great hands! We Returned to a clean house and Happy Pups. Thanks again Karla we will be in touch for next time!”
About: I’m patient, reliable, and I give pets a lot of attention and care. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely and keep you updated so you always know how they’re doing. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m very organized and make time for check-ins, feeding, playtime, and cleaning. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can adjust to your pet’s needs and keep their routine consistent. I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment by following each pet’s routine exactly and paying attention to their behavior. In a client’s home, I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep dangerous items out of reach, and give pets a calm, stress-free space. I always handle pets gently, stay aware of their comfort levels, and keep you updated so you can trust they’re safe and well cared for.
“Luke had the best experience, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Communication was consistent, clear, and thoughtful from start to finish, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious Luke was genuinely cared for and not just watched. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I would absolutely trust David again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and professional.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Abner is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $65 per night.

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 Abner 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 Abner 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 Abner 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Abner. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
