“Had Yazmin house sit our two dogs recently and she did a wonderful job. The pups were happy and she communicated daily with me. Our place was well taken care of as well. I will definitely rebook her in the future… thanks again Yazmin, so glad I booked you.”
“Dayna took such good care of our pets! They enjoyed her constant attention and snuggles. It's so nice to have someone reliable to take care of them when we're gone for a few days. It let's me enjoy breaks that much more. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“I was so happy when I got home from a long day away and found that my babies were so lovingly cared for by Laurie and Reese. Think Teddy found a great playmate with Reese, that when Laurie and Reese left he started barking at the door. My dog never barks, so I think a hi-five and honors go to this happy pair. Thanks again so much.👍”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic experience! Our dog sitter did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and cat in our home for the day. We felt completely comfortable knowing everything was in good hands. Our dogs were well cared for, and our home was just as we left it. Reliable, trustworthy, and professional! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Sam to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.”

About: Trustworthy, Loving Pet Care – Walks, Meds, Overnights & More With years of experience—including the honor of caring for my own dog into a happy, well-loved senior life until his passing—I understand the gentle, attentive care pets need at every stage and offer the kind of reliable, detail-oriented care every pet parent hopes for. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or administering meds, your dog will be in safe, loving hands. I’m all about tail wags, clean water bowls, and sticking to your pet’s routine like clockwork. Bonus: hikes, beach walks, and plenty of belly rubs included! I work 8–5 but live close enough to swing by for a lunchtime walk or check-in. Weekends are usually wide open, so your pup can enjoy extra attention and adventure then too! I can care for your dog at my home or yours—whatever makes them most comfortable. I have a spacious patio for playtime and fresh air, or I'm happy to care for them in their own familiar space. Either way, they'll be safe, loved, and well looked after.
About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to two adorable pups: Buttercup (12), my sweet senior with special needs and daily medications, and Mochi (5), a goofy, high-energy ball of love. I’ve raised them both since they were tiny pups. I grew up with huskies and horses, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle care, or a calm, experienced sitter for meds or routines—I’ve got you covered. 🐾 Why pet parents book me: • Firsthand experience with senior dogs & medications • Calm, loving, and deeply reliable care • Great with shy, energetic, or special needs pups • Flexible for last-minute walks or overnights • Fast communication & peace of mind while you’re away Most of my time is spent at my house as I am a work remote/work from home freelance video producer and editor in television. So your pet will have my full attention and go on lots of walk. I’m able to accommodate schedules and routines! We also have a fenced in backyard for the animals to run around in. At home, I keep your babies with me and separate from our two very friendly (with dogs and humans) shitzu pups. If you’re comfortable with the pups mixing and mingling, then I’ll let them hang out together. Otherwise, I’ll keep your pet with me in my office. My home office has a couch, a dog bed and if they like to cool off their warm bellies, a hardwood floor. Regardless, your pet will be with me! I like to take walks around the courthouse since it’s so pretty and close by, so we’ll do that as well. We also have a back patio that I can additionally let them run around in. Depending on your comfort levels and size of your pup, your pet can sleep in my bedroom (not in bed) or in the living room in front of our bedroom on a plush dog bed. ***A couple of side notes: 1. Let me know any restrictions your pet has around food, diets, allergies and treats. 2. We also have a crate, if that’s something you want/need for your pet. 3. Please wait for a confirmation from me regarding your booking. I do accept last minute requests but every now and then last minute obligations come up!

Eliza was great! She was very kind and quick to respond during the booking process. She provided clear communication while caring for our dog. She took good care of our pet and our home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Acorn is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $45 and $79 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Acorn 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 Acorn 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 Acorn 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.

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.
