“Rodney came to my rescue! Recently I had to go to the ER during the night and I was worried about who would take care of my dogs in the morning. I was able to contact him around 7:00 a.m. so he could come over and take care of the dogs. Potentially it could have been an overnight, but that wasn't needed. It was so wonderful to know that my dogs would be well cared for before and after my return home! Usually he just comes for a drop-in visit every other week, but this required more visits. The dogs are still getting used to him, but he works very hard to get them to trust him and it is paying off. Thank you, Rodney!”

About: I've rescued several wild animals over the years as well as volunteered for the Peninsula ASPCA. I have 5 pets at home as well I think the world of and each are highly unique and need different attention. I've had pets my whole life and have always had Siberian Huskies. I cannot imagine a home without a furry friend and believe they always deserve my 100% because they are the best parts of what makes a house feel livable for me. Learning body language and specific sounds since I was just learning to walk that its my second nature. My best friend having guinea pigs for years too, I've learned how to even care for smaller exotic pets I do the cat pan and brush my pets and make sure their water fountain in clean and running with the filters. Clip their nails when long and play and treat them in training. The cats get proper cuddle time and the dogs fluffed and hugged. For my cat Bucky he need quiet time with little stimulation in my room away from the others. I will treat any pet as my own and learn what their balance is so they have the best care I can offer. Learning their personalities and quirks to ensure their safety, my safety, and certainly their comfort

“Sarah is an absolute joy and we feel so lucky that she was our house sitter to care for our elderly cat. She gave us peace of mind and we knew he was well cared for and that she could handle any emergency. The house was spotless when we came home. Recommend without any hesitation and feel lucky that we can finally travel again.”

About: My dog helped me write this poem to explain my worth as your Sitter! In every bark and wagging tail, I see a story, soft and frail. With patient hands and gentle grace, I make your dog's world a safer place. I know the leash is more than a rope— It’s trust, it’s care, it’s quiet hope. I walk them with joy, not just a chore, Each sniff and pause, the moment I adore. I speak their language—soft and kind With treats and toys so well-designed. I know when it's time to play or feed And when it’s time for lullaby indeed. From muddy paws to sleepy eyes, I greet each dog with no disguise. They feel it in the way I care— I am not just there, I stay aware. A bowl well-filled, a belly rubbed, a sweet cuddle, or a playful tug. I am present, calm, a steady friend, From morning light ‘til day’s soft end. What makes me a great Sitter is plain to see: You let each dog just be—and be free. I hold their hearts with quiet pride, A trusted soul, right by their side. I work from home. Even when I have to leave, it may be 2 hours at the most. So trust, your furbaby will have plenty of care and attention. There is a large dog park for your furbaby to play and run under constant supervison. I have a calm dog who is super protective and careful around puppies, toy dogs and ederly dogs. Due to my profession, I am background checked to work in school systems, and enter properties due to real estate. This is a safe and trustworthy environment for your furbaby!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have always loved having the companionship of animals in my home. I currently have 2 cats and one dog. I’ve had cats, dogs, fish, rabbits and hamsters. I’ve fostered a puppy and a kitten as well recently. I love being around animals and will take great care of yours, given the opportunity! While I do work full time, I’m able to come home for lunch and check in with my animals, and spend most of my time with them on the weekends. While I don’t have a fenced in backyard, my dog spends ample amounts of time outdoors whether on walks or with a long outdoor tether that gives her plenty of room to roam. I’ve also cared for animals in other people’s homes if that is a preference. My animals have gotten along very well with other animals that have come into the home.

Qasheedra stayed at our home and took care of our 4 pets while we were away for a week, and we had a great experience… excellent communication and was able to handle our pets’ various idiosyncrasies from picky eaters to storm anxiety and was even able to accommodate an additional day for us to extend our trip. We came back to a clean home and happy & content pets :)”

“Laura is a dream! From first contact through our entire house sit, she was always prompt with her responses and never left me hanging. She was great with my peculiar, needy Sphynx cats and not only followed our care instructions exactly, but went above and beyond for my two cats! They absolutely loved her from the first day, which is so rare. I got frequent updates multiple times a day and the best pictures and videos of them. She left our house extremely clean and we would be insane to not book her anytime she is available!”

About: I’ve previously owned both dogs and cats and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and needs. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I own and operate a pressure washing company, so my schedule is flexible and I’m able to plan my days around pet care. My business naturally slows down during the winter months, giving me more availability during the week. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I care for pets by following their normal routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention and playtime, and regular walks or bathroom breaks when needed. I keep their environment clean and safe and give each pet time to feel comfortable around me. I’ll also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know how their pet is doing.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own and also regularly help care for cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, litter box care, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and always follow any special instructions you provide. As a healthcare professional, I’m also very detail-oriented and take safety and routines seriously. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My availability varies depending on my work schedule, but I keep my Rover calendar updated so pet parents always know when I’m available. I take your pet’s safety and comfort seriously and will always follow the routine and instructions you provide. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications or special care instructions, and keeping pets secure in their environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for.

About: I have experience rescuing cats and dogs and administering medication. I’ve also done house sitting and pet sitting for several homes. I enjoy running and playing with dogs to keep them active and happy, and I can also help them stay calm when needed. I offer walks up to 1 hour and can safely handle up to 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable cleaning up after pets, changing diapers if needed, and giving medication. I work Mondays and Wednesday–Friday from 7 to 3, and Saturdays from 3 to 11pm. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Sundays 😊 I adapt to each home and follow the owner’s preferences and routine for their pets. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or keeping their space clean. I always adjust to each pet’s personality and needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Acree Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Acree Acres is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $72 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,096 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Acree Acres. 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 Acree Acres 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 Acree Acres 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 Acree Acres 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 Acree Acres. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
