“Crystal was AWESOME, and I was so appreciative of her taking my very last minute booking. She was so professional and did such a great job with my dog and my home. I came home to an organization house and a very happy dog. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Sabrina is such a fantastic pet sitter, a true God send! It was the first time we have ever left our boys alone with anyone and she was just fabulous!! She sent so many pictures, and kept us posted the entire time we were gone. She even took care of our lizards and fish for us. So reasonably priced and worth every penny. We will definitely be using her again and again and again!!!”
“Isaiah did a wonderful job babysitting our dogs and house! We came back and the dogs were not anxious at all and the house was clean. They were well taken care of and he sent many photos. Definitely will use again!”
“Meghan was communicative throughout our trip, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated that she took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand so we could go over expectations and show her around. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable house or dog sitter!”
“We were very happy with Meghan. We liked her bio and thought she sounded like the perfect person to care for our pets and home. She stayed in our home for a few days while we were away. She kept our home perfect and the animals loved her too. She sent pictures daily. We are so glad to have found Meghan and trust her with the care of our cat and dog.”
“Melanie was a tremendous choice for housesitting and petsitting! She was communicative, professional, and attentive. I never once worried that my babies weren't getting the care they deserve! HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“Jennifer was awesome! She took excellent care of our two dogs, Kona and Milo, while we were out of town. She was very friendly and sent frequent updates letting us know how the dogs were doing. We highly recommend her!”
“Michelle is amazing! I wish I could give her way more than 5 stars. She is a great communicator and sends pics of the pups often which is very comforting to me. When I return home the house is just as clean as I left it…if not cleaner. Most importantly, the pups absolutely LOVE her.”
“I can’t say enough nice things about Jordan. She jumped in at the very last minute and helped me with my 3 cats when my previous pet sitter had a last minute emergency. She was loving and attentive to my home as well as my cats!! Thank you so much!”
“Rangeen was great! This was my first time using a house sitter from Rover and it went perfectly! Rangeen sent me pictures and updates and how my pup was doing and was super responsive and professional. Would 100% recommend!”
“Candice accommodated my reactive Aussie who is very distrusting of new people. She gave her space and let my doggo make all the moves which I really appreciate. She’s been communicative the whole time and sent pictures! I will definitely be using her again now that my dog has built some trust with her.”
“Eva was great with my four cats. They're a handful and she is clearly a cat person. She properly spoiled the grumpy old man and was cognizant of the skittishness of the former stray. I've had to travel quite a bit these last few years and I finally found an actual cat person to hang out with them and be sure they are safe and happy.”

“Stephenie stayed with our dogs at our house over the weekend, and she was phenomenal! We received lots of updates and happy pictures of the dogs while we were gone that helped put us at ease knowing the dogs were being well taken care of. Stephanie also maintained their routine and gave them their daily medicines. We are so happy to have met Stephenie and will be booking with her again!”
“Janet was excellent with our dog. We are thrilled to have found her on Rover because we are always nervous to leave our dog with people. She has decades of experience working with animals and knows every aspect of thier care. She can give meds, she can identify symptoms of health problems before they become an emergency, she understands canine behavior, she can even train dogs using positive reinforcement. My dog absolutely loves her, and we received lots of cute pics during our trip! It was a comfort to know he was in such good hands. We will definitely be hiring Janet again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Afton
Kiara always goes above and beyond for our pups. Our Goldendoodle and Husky can be incredibly finicky when it comes to eating, but she is so patient with them and will even hand feed them to make sure they have something on their stomachs. She was also great about giving our Goldendoodle her medication on time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We never have to worry about anything being missed because we know they're in good hands. Kiara has been caring for our dogs for quite some time now, and we truly feel lucky to have found her. It's clear how much she cares about the animals she watches, and our pups love her. Thank you for always taking such great care of them Kiara, you’re the best!
We love Sarah and Zeus is simply obsessed with her. She washed her bedding and stayed in contact with us the entire time. Photos and updates and genuine love for our pup. We were at my son’s wedding and the comfort of knowing our dog and our home were well cared for allowed us to be entirely present with family. And because she took such good care of the house when my in-laws opted to come Stay for a day or two I didn’t worry about whether or not I would be able to have guests. I’m so grateful
Candice accommodated my reactive Aussie who is very distrusting of new people. She gave her space and let my doggo make all the moves which I really appreciate. She’s been communicative the whole time and sent pictures! I will definitely be using her again now that my dog has built some trust with her.
Cassidy is the best! She took care of our girls like her own, and was more than willing to help with an impromptu vet visit when it looked like one of our dogs had a UTI (she didn’t she was just being a weirdo). We will definitely be reaching out to her again. The communication and picture taking are a 12/10. :)
This was our first time using Jennifer and she did a great job with Bogart. He took to her right away and she sent lots of pictures which showed he was obviously very comfortable with her. She was on time and very easy to communicate with and left the house neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend.!
Brenda is a literal angel on earth. I know we will never find someone else even remotely close to how amazing she is to house sit and watch our dogs for us. If you book with Brenda, you will be giving your pets and yourself a luxury service. Our two dogs are 1.5yrs and 9mos and Old English Bulldogs. They are clever, stubborn, sweet, smart and all the things. I’m home every day with them between night shifts and am well aware of the challenges, constant upkeep, entertaining them, etc., I left instructions regarding what a normal day looks like at our home for Brenda and she blew my husband and I out of the water as far as dog parenting goes! She did enrichment activities, lots of exercise, training, critical thinking skills, and was with them the entire time we were gone minus some short errands. We’ve never left our dogs before and had to make a somewhat last minute, very stressful trip to visit family. I was so anxious and Brenda’s presence, her updates, and great conversations took the anxiety away the very first day we were gone. It was the best feeling! I knew we didn’t have to worry about anything at all other than spending time with my family. Coming home, excited to see our dogs, we walked into a house that appeared as if a cleaning service came, fresh cookies made on the counter for us, and two very relaxed, well behaved, sleepy dogs who obviously had a long day of fun! All we had to do was unpack and relax with our babies!!! I cannot recommend Brenda enough!!!! We are hoping she wants to come back. She did 50000% more than we ever would’ve asked of someone. And if we were rich, I would offer her a full time position in our lives as our dog nanny, trainer, bestie for the dogs and housekeeper!!! Thank you so, so, so much!!!! <3
The week before our trip, Rebecca came to meet Paintball and get familiar with our home and the cat care supplies and routine. Paintball can be hesitant around strangers, but they quickly became friends! While we were away, Rebecca was excellent at communicating with me and she sent us many pictures of Paintball living her best kitty cat life. She even gave her a thorough brushing! Our house was just as we left it and Paintball appeared to be well cared for while we were away :) We would be happy to use her services again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Afton on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,443 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Afton. 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 Afton 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 Afton 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 Afton 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
