“We had an amazing experience with Adrienne! She stayed with Mickey and kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Mickey was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. We truly appreciated the communication and attention to detail. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Adrienne to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Jessica has cared for our pups 3 times now. They're not the easiest to handle at times but she's a true Godsend. She's very detail oriented about their routines and habits and very patient when needed. She took great care of the house while we were gone for a week as well. So glad we found her and will definitely have her watch our pups again and again.”
“Erika did a great job of staying with our senior dog, which isn't easy! She gave great updates and our house was in perfect condition when we returned home... thank you so much Erika!”
“We happily had Laurie spend a long weekend with our 2 dogs at our house and everything was great! She sent lots of photos of the dogs and they seemed very much like they enjoyed themselves. She even got my picky dog to eat. Respectful with the house and we returned to happy dogs and a clean house.”
“Amber was amazing! She shared lots of pics of our big guy while we were away and I could tell he was enjoying himself. It was great to be away knowing our house and pup were in good hands!”
“Best house sitter that there ever was!!! She washed and folded the laundry that she used (we didn’t ask her to), she helped out with Buddy, our Elf on the Shelf, and was great with communication.”
“Sara was absolutely amazing! One of our dogs can be a little nervous meeting new people, and Sara was so patient. She came in, sat down, and let Heidi get comfortable at her own pace. She even brought her own treats, which the dogs loved. While we were away, she checked in regularly with photos and videos, and we really appreciated that. And when we got home, I swear the house was even cleaner than when we left it. Truly a 10/10 experience. Sara was fantastic!”
“Matt stayed with my two pups for a week and took great care of them. He was also kind enough to water my flowers and garden while I was away. I had peace of mind knowing my home and pups were in great care. I highly recommend Matt and hope to use him again.”
“Kaylie was awesome! She house sat (my senior dog and cat) ensuring they got their medication. She did all the things I asked and sent me pictures am/pm. Highly recommend Kaylie!”
“Maria is the best! She was so kind, accommodating to our specific needs, communicated very well, and loved my kitten as if he were her own. We are incredibly thankful to have found her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“This was our first time having anyone other than family watch our dog. Also, the first time having someone stay in our home. David was excellent with our dog as well as respectful of our home. The house was as we left it with no mess or anything. Very appreciative of a great first experience for in home dog sitting. Thanks, David!”
“Kaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and I’m so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!”
About: Hello, I’m so excited to become a dog sitter & walker on rover! I have always been a huge dog fan. I have had a small yorkie ever sense I was young. My sister has a big dog who I also enjoy being around! I am currently college student training to become a nurse! I’m looking for a seasonal job for over the summer!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Akers Acres
Jennifer is an absolute gem of a human and pet sitter. Shes the perfect amount of confident and calm which both I and my dogs picked up on and appreciated. My one pup is a bit anxious but by the end of the second day I had photos of both dogs loving their lives. Jennifer even road out terrible weather and put their safety first. We already have another trip booked and I cannot be happier that we have her here to help us!
Rochelle did an excellent job watching our two pups over a long weekend. She got along with them right away, helped us administer daily medications, and kept me and my wife up to date with fun pictures, videos each day. She kept our house in excellent shape, and she even left us a pressed four leaf clover that she found in our yard. We look forward to booking with her again!
We had a great experience with Leslie. She accommodated our booking last minute, which was incredibly helpful and took a lot of stress off our shoulders. She kept us updated throughout Olive’s stay with messages and photos. We really appreciated her responsiveness, flexibility, and the care she showed Olive. Would absolutely book with her again!
Tess is the best! One of our dogs is quite anxious. I could tell from the pictures that he was super comfortable with Tess. We received pictures and updates daily and knew they were in wonderful hands. To top everything, Tess was a super home sitter as well. Tess is genuine, reliable, considerate and a sweet and caring person. Six stars out of five!!
Took care of our dogs in our home. Responded quickly to the sitting request. Had great questions when she came to meet the dogs and bonded with the girls quickly. Communication with us while we were away was great and we came home to happy dogs. An excellent experience. In all ways. Definitely recommend Kate.
This was our very first time using Rover, and wow—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Cece was absolutely incredible. She cared for both our senior dog and our wild little kitten with so much love and attention. We really appreciated the updates she sent whenever she left the house, along with tons of adorable photos and videos that kept us smiling. On top of that, she took such great care of our home too. We feel so lucky to have found the perfect sitter right from the start—thank you, Cece!
Lily was so great with my dog reactive girl, Serenity! She kept me up to date the entire visit regarding meal consumption and how she did on walks. She also sent many pictures of my baby, which made being away a little easier. Five stars! Will absolutely re book in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Akers Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Akers Acres on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,342 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Akers 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 Akers 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 Akers 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 Akers 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 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 Akers Acres. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
