“Stephanie was fantastic! Updated us often and kept our home clean. She even went out of her way to let our pup out after her checkout time due to delays in our travel. Would definitely book with her again!”
“I honestly can’t say enough about Grace. She’s the best dog sitter I have ever had on Rover!! Her care for my two dogs was above and beyond. She communicated with me and sent me so many cute pics! I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs in Grace’s card because there is no doubt that she is a true dog lover. I felt like she took care of my pups as if they were her own, keeping them active and interacting with them! Not only that, but, she checked back in and offered to go see my dogs one more time because I was running late getting home. She did this because she cared about my pups! Again, I can’t say enough. Thank you Grace for taking such great care of Lily and Maple! You are a rock star!”
“angie is awesome! she stayed at my house and took care of my little terrier. she gave him plenty of exercise and sent me lots of pics every day--best communication ever from a dogsitter. i came home to a happy dog and a spotless home. definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for five years. I have worked as a preschool teacher as well as at a plant nursery. I am currently a sophomore at the university of Vermont. I am home for the summer and have time to take care of your pets! I am a very active person, I love to go on long walks and runs. I run a small business so I work at the Sunday silly market on Sundays. I will be around daily to feed, walk, and take care of pets. I have three cats of my own so I can not have any animals in my house. I will treat your home with the utmost respect.
About: Before I went to college my Dad got and trained a dog to do search and rescue. I adored that dog! I will adore your dog too! I have a big heart and lots of patience for dogs. Looking forward to the day when I can adopt two of my own. So excited to get to know and spend time with your doggo. During the week I’m busy with school and on the weekend I stay in Park City with my parents. Looking for any dog walking opportunities. Keep a close eye on the animals, feed them at their scheduled time, keep their water filled, take them on daily walks and play with them.
About: Hello, my name is Reed. I’m a 25-year-old student and former Kennel Technician with hands-on experience in dog sitting, daycare, and boarding on my off days. Over the past year, I’ve also worked professionally leading off-leash group hikes using e-collars, managing 15–17 dogs at a time on dog-friendly trails and parks. This role has given me advanced skills in safe pack management, recall training, and e-collar handling. When your pup is with me, you can count on structured exercise, socialization, and fun adventures at dog parks and on dog-friendly trails. I’ll also make sure you receive high-quality photos of your pet so you can see them enjoying their day. I’ve been formally trained on dog behavior and care through PackPro and the Dog Handler Academy, and I continue to build on that knowledge every day. Feel free to reach out and book a date—I’d love to give your dog the care, attention, and adventure they deserve. I work at the pet resort Sunday-Tuesday and Thursdays. If needed on Tuesdays and Thursdays I can do a late overnight stay for a discount. In the house, I can board a family and give medicine oral or injections. I go to dog parks often, and usually take them outside every hour to an hour and a half. The only requirement is having a dog that is friendly so my dog stays safe as well.
About: I am a confident and flexible person who enjoys walking, fostering, and taking care of my own dog. I want to ensure that your dog gets the best care possible by working/communicating with you. I can also provide pictures and updates of your pooch during walks and drop-ins if requested! I am currently home for the summer, so I have plenty of time to watch and take care of your pets! I love to be active and will gladly take your pup on fun walks/outings if wanted! I am a confident dog walker and visitor who wants to make sure your dog feels as comfortable as possible. I am completely good with taking a little more time to ensure your dog is feeling comfortable and happy. As mentioned, I would love to provide picture updates if requested to see your dog happy and relaxed.
“My very senior lab gets very anxious when the suitcases come out. Combine that with a thunderstorm the morning we were departing and the poor girl was panting and trembling. I was considering giving her a sedative. James has stayed with her recently, and when he arrived she immediately settled down and laid by his feet. We felt fine to leave her at that point, no sedative required. She had a great time hanging out with him, and we returned to a perfectly nice house and a happy and calm girl. James even noticed the neighbors putting out trash and recycle and put ours as well! (I had not asked him since we were returning in time to do it ourselves). Highly recommend!”
“Bailey went above and beyond while house sitting with our two dogs. She communicated daily, took great care of our dogs, and she even emptied the dish washer. She was awesome and we would highly recommend her. We will certainly ask for her services again!”
About: I have been a dog lover since I was a little kid! With 5 years of hands-on experience, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. All the dogs I had growing up were high energy, so I know how to keep your pup entertained. I’m also very familiar with dog body language, which helps me understand what your dog needs and keep them comfortable. My schedule is very flexible! I moved to Aspen to ski race, so aside from a couple hours of training a day, I’m free most days. I can drop in any day or watch your pup while you’re out of town! I provide regular communication and updates throughout the day, including photos and check-ins. I’ve been around dogs my whole life, especially big dogs. I am responsible, reliable, and will always make sure your dog is safe and happy.I am respectful of your home and routines and always leave things clean and tidy.If there are any concerns with your dog—reactivity, special needs, or quirks—please let me know so I can tailor my care.I’m active and happy to take your dog on long walks, play sessions, or light hikes (seasonally permitting)(with your permission).
“We highly recommend Brooks! This was the first time he stayed with our German Shepherd, Axel, and it was a very smooth process. Communicating with Brooks was easy as he was very responsive and came over in advance of sitting to meet Axel and get instructions for the house. Most importantly, he and Axel got along great. He took Axel for walks (even in the snow) and sent some great pics to us. He is a professional photographer and his pics reflected that! We will definitely use Brooks again.”
“Alexa was great and able to step in last minute. Our dog can be a bit nervous with new people, but he did great with Alexa and we came home to a happy dog and a clean house.”
“David is a great dog sitter! We had him do in house sitting for our older poodle who need a little extra help with meds and mobility. David took great care of him and sent picture’s everyday. He left the house spotless! We would trust David again anytime.”
“Leigh took great care of my little Paddington and I appreciated all the photos and updates. It’s always a little scary to leave your fur baby with someone, and it means a lot to find someone you can trust!”
“Daniella took such wonderful care of my dog and home. She followed every direction perfectly, paid close attention to all the little details, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog felt safe, comfortable, and loved the entire time. I’m so grateful for the care and thoughtfulness she showed, and I would wholeheartedly trust her again. She was so sweet and loving and sent us the best photos and updates. Amazing in every way❤️”

FAQs for House Sitting - Atkinson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Atkinson on Rover is $42.74 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 2,227 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Atkinson. 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 Atkinson 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 Atkinson 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 Atkinson 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.

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.
