We are really excited to have found Daniella. She is very reliable and competent. She did everything we needed plus some. She took care of our 3 dogs and our horse. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. Our dogs are my babies and it makes me anxious to leave them but I could tell in the pictures they were enjoying themselves and happy so I could relax and enjoy myself. We will definitely use Daniella again.

Zelda, our dog, has separation anxiety. Rayna visited a few times before her stay and was calm and gentle with Zelda. It was very evident that, after we returned home from our trip, Rayna did everything she could to make Zelda comfortable and feel safe even though her pack was away. Rayna was quick to respond to my texts during our vacation and took very good care of the house.

Rebecca is our dog sitter for life! She is so invested in our pup and goes above and beyond to make sure he has everything he needs. Our 15 year old chiweenie was diagnosed with end stage kidney disease 5 days before our trip and Rebecca gave us the peace of mind to move forward with going on our trip. She coordinated his care and made sure he had all his meds. He was a brand new puppy when we got back, thanks to her love, attention and compassion. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including large and high-energy breeds. As a dog owner, I’m very comfortable with routines, walks, and giving pets the attention and care they need to feel safe and happy. I currently have an open and flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and times for pet care. I plan my day around feeding, walks, and giving pets consistent attention and care. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment with consistent routines, supervision, and lots of attention. I always follow owner instructions closely to ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free.

Elizabeth house-sat for us for a few days while we were away and took wonderful care of our fur babies and garden. She was thoughtful, incredibly detail-oriented, and kept us updated with photos throughout our trip. We always felt confident that she was responsive, trustworthy, and attentive to everything at home. It gave us great peace of mind knowing everything was in such capable hands. Thank you, Elizabeth!

About: I’ve been around of medium/large dogs essentially my entire life and have provided care to them during every stage of their lives. I posses the confidence, patience, and discipline needed to care for young pets and those in training. I’d love to meet your fur babes soon! I am actively searching for full-time employment, so I have lots of time to play and train with your pets. I do have my own working dog, who has daily needs to be fulfilled. I have a field line Labrador who has a neutral demeanor and typically pays no mind to other animals. My yard isn’t big enough for much other than going potty, however I have a large park nearby for fetch and the neighborhood perfect for walks.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always had pets of my own. Caring for animals comes naturally to me because I truly love being around them. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and giving lots of attention to dogs/cats of different sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to check in on, care for, and spend time with their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I treat every animal like my own. Because I’m currently taking online classes, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets more attention throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure each pet gets dedicated time, exercise, and attention. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, and house rules. I respect your space and keep everything clean and secure. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, pets are supervised during walks or playtime, and any special needs are handled with care. I create a calm, positive environment so pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.

About: I am a registered nurse working mostly night shifts. That means I'm off during the day! I can do overnights if needed. It also means I know how to handle dirty situations. I'd love to walk your furry dog. I grew up with two to three dogs in the house. I do not have a dog here in California so i'm missing hanging out with dogs! I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. Let me take care of your animal while at work, on vacation, or otherwise. Im super responsible, punctual, and have reliable transportation. I can take the dog on a hike, crab digging on the beach, or an easy walk in the neighborhood. Let me know the dog needs and i'll be right there!

Ryckie was super sweet and really wonderful with our senior dog, who has terrible arthritis, is a finicky eater, and needs extra attention due to his need to "potty" often. She made sure to keep him company whilst we were out of town, and our home was perfectly cared for. She even switched a day up due to an error on my behalf, and we are so grateful for her flexibility. Highly, highly recommend!

About: I have been an animal lover since as young as I could remember. I can provide your furbaby with a loving home away from home. I have experience of 4 years fostering with local rescues and the Stockton Animal shelter. I primarily have worked with cats and kittens ranging from 4 weeks to adults cats. I also have a cat of my own, who loves the company of other cats and kittens. In my home there is a dedicated space to play and have access to a cat tower that overlooks a bird feeder for bird watching - this is an HUGE hit with my own furbaby. This room also is quiet and provides a calm and secure room for furbabies that may be a bit more on the skiddish and shy side. Ensuring that your pet is comfortable and safe is my biggest concern. I am second grade teacher and while the some days are longer than most, I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your fur baby! I have a cat of my own and playtime is an important part of our day. I will be sure to give your baby plenty of pets and cuddles. Ensuring that your furbaby is stress free and safe are my #1 concerns. You furbaby, will be able to roam freely and explore my home as if it is their own, unless you prefer otherwise. I also have an office space that doubles as a room dedicated to my cat that is filled with toys for enrichment!

About: Hi! My name is Mitzi, and I’m 24 years old. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for more than half of it, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I currently have two spayed Shih Tzus and a friendly Doberman, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. My dogs do great around other dogs, and I’ve also cared for family members’ and friends’ pets while they’ve been away on vacation, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can fully trust with your fur baby. I have experience with both long-haired and short-haired dogs, and I genuinely love everything that comes with caring for them. Whether it’s daily walks, potty breaks, feeding on a regular schedule, keeping up with grooming and appointments, or just giving them love and attention, I make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Dogs are honestly my way of de-stressing, and spending time with them is something I truly enjoy. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to make them feel loved while you’re away. I am in nursing school, so i can either come during online classes or after in person class! My schedule is also open part time I live in a spacious household, my house is fenced front and back! I can also crate train your dog in your home or mine

Cambry watched my dog and also my friends so we have two reviews! Cambry was awesome. Such a sweet and caring person. She was very good with communication and always responded in a timely matter. There was a small hiccup with Finn and she was able to make me feel comfortable again immediately and I knew he was in the best hands. She was very present the whole entire time and even helped finn with the training I had been working on. Cambry told me a little about her past with animals and I asked if she was able to clip my dogs nails if she had any time and she did it!! Like how awesome! Finn is still in his puppy phase and she handled it so well and was so patient with him. Would definitely recommend and will use again in the future. Cambry went above and beyond for our furry loved ones. She communicated very well and went out of her way to have a meet and greet with the dogs to ensure she was a good fit for their personalities prior to her watching them. She never seemed hurried or rushed. It was evident from the moment we met her that she had a lot of experience working with animals. She is very patient and has a wonderful calm demeanor. Fendi has anxiety towards new humans, but by the end of her stay he gained such a comfortability with her that he even let her cut his nails (something he doesn’t even let me do). During my trip she sent text, picture and video updates which was great. She also kept the house very clean as if it were her own! I highly recommend Cambry and will 100% ask her to watch fendi in the future!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11. I'm a cat mom and i really enjoy to spend my time with your lovable pets! neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. let me enjoy being with your pet and share this love together! I'm a Master student who is now focusing on her program . I'm flexible for time changing and I'll be happy to help :)🥳 Healthy pet food is required. Pets, like people, require food that specifically fulfills their nutritional requirements. Both dog and cat diets are made to satisfy the nutritional requirements of the respective species. Importantly, they have quite different food requirements. And I can give that to our furry family members with affection! I'll ensure that your pets have access to clean water at all times. Giving pets a secure, comfortable home is part of giving proper pet care. Pets need to use the restroom frequently, and I'll be there to assist them if they do. I'll see to it that your pet exercises frequently.

She went above and beyond what I expected, my dogs love her because the word sitter doesn’t describe her at all because she hardly sat. She interacted with them and took them for walks more often than they were used to. Now I know I can go away for several days without worrying about them and her prices are affordable. I think she’s great and my dogs do too!

About: I have over 10 years of experience in pet boarding and looking after the pets of my friends and family. I have assisted in training puppies as well as adult dogs, so I am more than happy to assist in training your animals while you're away by keeping up a specific schedule or regimen. I also have personal experience caring for elderly dogs as well as dogs with anxiety disorders, happy to work with them in any special ways needed. I typically find myself doing a lot of my busy work and essential activities in the afternoons and evenings. For this reason, majority of my availability for short visits will be in the mornings, but happy to discuss other arrangements if needed. I have a large backyard and property that your bestie will just love, if they stay over at my place. I have multiple sized dog beds so no matter babies size they'll have a lovely place to rest their head.

Ashlee is the best! I am beyond happy and satisfied with my experience. Let me start with, I was very hesitant about using Rover, but meeting Ashlee and the relationship she had with my fur babies put my mind at ease. I will use her from now on and refer to my friends and family. She sent me pictures and updates every day, which I loved. She noticed my girl needed her donut to stop licking her paws. Coming home and seeing how well they were taken care of is the best and stress-free.

If you like a sitter that is bubbly, happy, full of life, don’t look elsewhere, Hanna is the right fit because my fur boy resonated all that and it filled my heart with gratitude and loads of good wishes for Hanna. She is a natural, dedicated and doesn’t take her responsibilities lightly, actions make people to have faith in others and Hanna has won our hearts completely.

FAQs for House Sitting - August

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in August on Rover is $28.31 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 990 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across August. 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 August 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 August 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 August 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 August. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
