“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!”
“Kelly was incredible with my anxious dog, Luna! She sent regular updates with photos and took great care of my home while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Stephanie was fantastic! She communicated well and sent photos everyday! She was great with our very active German shepherd! She also left the house perfectly clean. We will definitely use her again.”
“Angie was awesome - she’s professional, empathetic, and a steady communicator. She did a great job taking care of my anxious pup while I was away for a week. Angie sent me pictures of Luna multiple times a day which gave me peace of mind and she was a wonderful house guest. I hope to have her sit for Luna again!”
“Pat took great care of our dog Finley over 4th of July weekend. We met up beforehand for a hike so he could get a sense of Finley on trail and see our house to go over everything. Loved all the picture updates while we were gone. Thanks, Pat!”
“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❤️”
About: I've always enjoyed caring for animals and pets in my home and around my neighborhood! I'm very active and enjoy dog walking or spending time playing with animals and keeping them fed and happy. I'm comfortable with animals of all ages and look forward to caring for your pet! During the summer I have a lot of free time to come over and care for your pet whenever works best for you! For dog walking, I would prefer mornings and evenings to avoid the hot weather but will come whenever. I will provide pet service at your home and make sure to follow all your guidelines to ensure good animal service. I enjoy playing with pets and would feel comfortable doing so in your house or yard if it is fenced.
“James was just what we needed for two night in home pet sitting for our two dogs. He gave great care for the dogs and was very flexible with scheduling. We will request him again next time.”
“Kira was wonderful with our two big dogs! We were gone for a while and she took amazing care of them both. She sent lots of updates and pics which we loved! Kira was very loving and attentive to our pups. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
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.
“Dave was amazing with our two Great Danes. Our senior dane nuzzled him and leaned on him immediately, and he was patient with our shyer younger dane as she always takes a few minutes to feel comfortable. Our younger dane also had recently been diagnosed with Wobblers and was still on meds and play/walking restrictions and he was very gentle with her and followed all instructions. When we returned from our trip, it was obvious that both dogs loved him and had a great time with him. He also took great care of the house and left it very clean, which we 100% appreciated. This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely book with Dave again for our next trip.”
“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.”
About: I’ve cared for many different dogs and pets of my own and for others for a day or up to a month. I have an amazing Alaskan Husky named Bingo. As the owner of a high energy dog I spend a lot of time doing outdoor activities. This is made easy by my work from home schedule I beleive in positive reinforcement training and will work with the pet owner to create a custom pet care plan for their fur baby. I have a crate for transportation as well as an assortment of leashes and harnesses
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.

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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
