“Erin was an absolutely AMAZING Rover sitter for our two cats while we were away on vacation. She sent picutures everyday and gave updates on how our cats were doing. Erin also went above and beyond doing extra responsibilities around our house to help out the cats i.e. cleaning out the litter boxes. She came early before our vacation time to walk through the house and get the instructions. Erin was amazing, I would highly recommend to anyone who needs a Rover sitter. I plan on hiring her for any future vacations we have planned.”
“Noah did great with my 10 year old skittish dog. My dog loved him at the meet and greet and was happy when I got home! The house looked great also. Was gone for two nights and everything was taken care of, will use again!”
About: I treat every dog like family, providing loving, dependable care. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, allowing plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving each dog personalized attention every day! I will provide personalized care for each pup, following each pet’s routine with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and a safe, comfortable environment
“Christina did wonderful taking care of our dog Kingsley. Sent picture updates and walked him and played with him as well. Our house was cleaner when we returned than it was when we left. Will definitely use again!”
About: I used to work at Bark and Brew and occasionally dog sit! I have three of my own puppies at home so I have plenty of experience as well as also fostering dogs! I’m looking for something to do in my free time as well as making some furry friends 😊 I am currently working two part time jobs but I can help before or after either of the job when need be. I have lots of free time in the middle of the day between 12-4! I love interacting with pets as in playing with them or walking them! I make sure they get everything they need and more hoping to make their day enjoyable!
“Fawn did a great job with Marlo while we were away. She is very responsive to my communication and reached out on the first day with an detailed update. Marlo was happy around her and will definitely hire her again.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog Walter received. Alex was incredibly attentive, responsible and kept us updated with great communication throughout her two night stay. Walter absolutely loved her and so did we. It’s such a relief to know he was in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend.”
“Samantha is so great with my pups! She sent lots of pics and videos letting me know they’re ok and messaged me with concerns so it could be addressed right away. Would definitely reach out to her again in the future”
“Priscilla was fantastic! 100% recommend. I’ve called other sitters from Rover that I wouldn’t recommend, but I would definitely call Priscilla again. She sent tons of pictures and videos, and was very detailed oriented and respectful.”
“We are so happy we found Eleanor on Rover. We needed to find a less traumatic experience than overnight kenneling for our two boys and found our way to Eleanor. She responded very quickly and soon after we had a great meet and greet. The boys LOVED her from the minute she came in. We visited for a long time and decided it was a match. This was an overnight stay while we traveled, which is a first for us, so we were a little nervous. But from the moment she came in, the boys were all over her. We couldn’t have been happier with the attention she rained on them and the updates and photos she sent to us. We were proud dog parents at the company Christmas Party 🎄☺️ When the next event takes us away overnight, Eleanor will be our #1 choice to stay with our boys.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve helped care for pets for friends, family, and neighbors for years, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them attention while their owners are away. I’m patient, reliable, and love getting to know every pet’s personality. I’m currently working overnight so I’m usually free during the day, around noon would be perfect but I’m pretty flexible as far as letting your dog out or feeding your cat if needed! As a pet owner living in an apartment with my own dog, I understand how important it is for animals to get exercise, attention, and time outside instead of feeling cooped up indoors. I make it a priority to keep pets active, comfortable, and emotionally cared for through walks, playtime, and quality attention. I always want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in whatever environment they’re in
About: I have had cats since I was born and my whole life have helped take care of them. My life passion is cats and I currently have two of my own. I have experience in administrating oral, topical and injectable medications and have experience with cats with many personalities. I am working full time, so my availability varies, but send me a message and see if I’m available! I’ll do my best to accommodate :) I am always respectful of other people's spaces and act as I would like others to act while they are in my home. I always treat animals with care and respect and do what I can to make sure that they are comfortable.
“Bridget was great and Vanessa loved her. I appreciated the daily updates with videos & photos. It was our first time trying in home care while we were away and we are very pleased with Bridget as our choice. We will definitely rebook when we go away in the future.”
About: I’m a life long lover of all animals, who has turned my passion into a full-time career. My experience spans from dogs, cats, small animals (e.g. ferrets), reptiles, small farm animals and horses. Before adding my services to Rover I have house sat at barns, taking care of multiple types of different animals in addition to watching the house for 7+ days. I've grown up with dogs my whole life leading me to participate in multiple puppy classes from vet centers and certified training facilities from a young age. Naturally, this had then led me to work professionally with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and needs while getting comfortable with different harnesses and collars. I understand the importance of honoring body language for non-verbal communication, being conscious of meals + medication and how to maneuver in/out of doors/gates without escapes. My top priority is making sure the health, safety and comfortability of all animals is met to the highest standard. I do have reliable transportation for any emergencies as well and stress that I will not leave your pet until the situation is fully handled. As a calm, level headed and experienced individual, I strive to provide your animal with compassionate care through reliability, consistency, transparency, safety, dedication, and being detail orientated. I have a flexible schedule due to being self employed. My career is focused around feeding horses and training which leaves me with room to attend to the care for other clients animals. When it comes to taking care of someone else's animal, I believe a discussion about what is expected (e.g. feeding times) is vital to quality care first. In addition to meeting all basic needs, I will love the animal as if they were my own!
“We give Melissa our HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! She was a pet sitter for us for 6 days/5 nights! We just moved to the area and needed to find a responsible person to take care of our dog while we were out of town. Melissa was super responsive, highly professional and extremely trustworthy. Our pet has a significant medical condition and Melissa kept us updated and was extremely comfortable handling any special needs. She left our home in better condition that we left it. She went above and beyond to take care of our dog and we so appreciated it! We have used many pet sitters in the past, but Melissa was a step above all others!”
About: Since I was one month old, I’ve been around animals. I treat them with respect, love, boundaries and instinct. They’re family, and should be treated as such :) I run my own business and make my own schedule, so animal care will be around your schedule. I would ensure your pet’s routines are accommodated. My house and yard are over 3 acres. if there’s a way in which we can care for your pet here, we will and will be quite happy

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Anston on Rover is $44.4 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 302 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Anston. 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 Anston 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 Anston 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 Anston 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.
