I have used Madison multiple times, including for last-minute bookings, and have had absolutely zero issues every time. She is reliable, responsive, and always communicates clearly throughout the entire process, which gives me great peace of mind when I’m away. Madison is professional, dependable, and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I always feel confident leaving my dog in her care, knowing that everything will be handled well. I highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and communicative dog sitter.

Amy was super great with our 2 fur babies, both diabetic. She kept me updated and sent me pictures to ease my mind about leaving them, since I worry so much! She is great and we will be using her again to house sit for us!

Nickali was fantastic with the dogs. We had never left them with someone before. The dogs were happy to see us, but were just as content with Nickali. It was a huge relief. The fact that he sent us pictures also helped. We will use him again.

Grayson came through for us at the last minute for an unexpected pet sitting need while we were on vacation. He did a fantastic job with Biscuit who is 20 years old with multiple health issues and was very patient with us getting home much later than expected. We got frequent updates and photos which was great. Fantastic sitter!

We had a great experience with Seth! Our anxious dog seemed comfortable with him from the first time they met. He sent really wonderful photos of our girls each day and kept us updated about how they were doing. We get nervous about leaving our girls with strangers, but we would definitely have Seth take care of them again. He left our house clean and the three dogs seemed well cared for.

About: I've always pet sat for my friends and family. I started when I was in high school. I sincerely just love animals and it makes me happy to help others being around pets. I just do Doordashing in my free time. So I can work the two apps around each other! I started Rover last year but stopped to try other things instead and take care of my health more. I'm currently down 110lbs and ready to take care of your beautiful animals! I have my two cats right now. I'm also the one my friends and family always ask to take care of their pets when on vacation. I'm the type of person to stop and move the turtle out of the road or help a lost dog find it's way back home.

We absolutely love Jennifer. We had never really left our dog Luna with anyone apart from family, who live abt 3 hours away from us. On a recent long overseas vacation we didn’t have that option available and didn’t want to leave Luna at a pet boarding place. Jennifer was an absolute God send. Jennifer stayed at our place on the long vacation (2 weeks). We have used her services again for our week long vacation over Christmas. A couple things that Jennifer did that completely blew us away. She took Luna on multiple walks everyday, sometimes even hour long walks on the bike track. She took her on walks even when it was cold and had snow all around. She baked doggie cookies for Luna. She took her on car rides to the dog park close by. She let Luna cuddle and sleep with her on the bed. She even sent daily update photos multiple times a day. Jennifer went completely above and beyond. She even came back to let Luna out and take her for a short walk after work on the last day as we were getting back a little late in the evening. Incredibly caring, she is loved by our dog. We will use Jennifer’s services on all vacations going forward, if she is available.

Rebecca did a great job house sitting our pup, Jaz. We set up a meet and great a week before hand. She was on time and so friendly. While gone, she sent us updates and pictures of Jaz. She also gave Jaz her medication and eye drops for the week. We came home to a happy dog, excited to us! Would recommend her for anybody’s pets. Looking forward to booking Rebecca again!

Our cat Luna was a pandemic kitty and thus, has some separation anxiety, but Yasmina was super patient with him and got him to come out of his shell! It was our first time having someone house-sit but Yasmina sent pictures and video updates of Luna that eased our worries, and she left our place as clean as she found it! She was also super flexible and we really appreciated that!

We cannot say enough positive things about Megan and Seth! They exceeded our expectations! We were hesitant to leave Jax with someone for 4 days- but Megan and Seth treated him with so much love and attention! They sent us so many awesome photos each day and kept us updated on how Jax was doing! This was the first time we left our fur baby with someone. We were put at ease by them during our meet and greet, we could immediately tell that they are pet lovers and understand the hesitation of leaving Jax alone for 4 days. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM- and will definitely book them again!

About: I’ve dog sat for family members on multiple occasions. The dogs seen in my photographs are family dogs that have stayed in my home. I will adhere to the preference of pet owners on if the pets can interact with other pets. I work full-time as a remote employee for Royal Canin. I’m actively provided breaks, lunches, and planned time that I could take out and feed pets. While my residence is unfenced, the neighborhood is very safe within a small town. The pets will be free to move about inside of the home and I can accommodate if they need to be on a leash even in the backyard.

FAQs for House Sitting - Aviston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Aviston on Rover is $26.75 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 794 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Aviston. 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 Aviston 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 Aviston 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 Aviston 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 Aviston. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
