“Micah did an extended stay with my dog, and was stellar. Communicative, engaged, following instructions, asking questions, caring, thoughtful and responsible. Micah helped me with some mail issues while I was away as well. So wonderful and highly recommend.”
“Julia was great! She maintained Ching's normal routine (including lots of walks) and sent lots of pictures every day. She left the apartment in great condition too. Will definitely book Julia again when travelling in the future!”
“We had a great experience with Jaquana taking care of Penny! She was very communicative, sent us pictures every day, and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. Penny was very well cared for, and we would absolutely use her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I feel like we made a great choice hiring Dan! Dan made our first experience better by happily offering to meet the pups in advance to make sure the pet sitting weekend went smoothly. His calm energy was really reassuring, especially because one of our dogs is a bit anxious. When we got home our dogs were happy and the house was tidy. We will definitely use him again for any pet sitting needs in the future.”
“Brittany did an amazing job keeping our two dogs company while we were away! Our Greyhound and our cranky senior Chihuahua seemed very happy with her, so we are very grateful. She was able to administer complicated medication regimens for both of them and even earned the Chihuahua’s affection by day two. Everyone was safe and sound and got plenty of snuggles! Thank you, Brittany!”
“Andrea took great care of our Carolina dog over the weekend. She provided lots of updates and took great care of our home as well. She is professional, responsible and a great communicator. Highly recommend Andrea for all of your pet sitting needs!”
“Chloe saved the day for us less than 2 weeks before our trip, after our other sitter fell through due to extenuating personal circumstances! She was communicative and punctual throughout the planning process, she reached out when any questions came up during her stay, and she sent a cute pic of June every day. We came home to a neat, clean house and a happy, healthy dog. Thanks, Chloe!”
“Jose was a fantastic in-house sitter for my Labrador Retriever, she took to him immediately and he was a great communicator, sending plenty of updates and pics. He left my house neat as a pin, I will definitely utilize his services again!”
“Caitlin was super great! Flexible with our schedule. Great with Odin. Gave us updates and pictures. She left the house in great condition and even started the laundry and dishes. Would enthusiastically have her stay with Odin again!”
“Hannah took great care of my cat while I was away for 6 days. Sayu was shy at first, but Hannah's patience and kindness quickly won her over — Sayu became cuddly and playful on Day 2! Seeing her happy in daily photo updates brought me a lot of joy and relief. Hannah followed all care instructions, kept my home tidy, and brought packages inside. When Sayu developed a medical issue towards the end of my travels, Hannah communicated promptly and professionally, cleaned everything thoroughly, and monitored Sayu closely, offering to take her to the vet. Sayu was improving by the time I returned, and I felt confident in and grateful for Hannah’s care and empathy. I highly recommend her to watch over your home and your pet children!!”
“Mike was extremely communicative and took great care of our house and baby Mattie. He took her on lots of walks and gave lots of updates throughout the weekend. Thank you Mike!”
“Javay is great! Super flexible and is incredibly attuned to dog needs/emotions. She offered multiple meet and greets and made sure to know the dog before sitting. Great stuff”

Stephanie was wonderful sitting for my dog Penny. Penny took to Stephanie immediately after meeting her and remained perfectly comfortable with her for the whole 10 day period I was away. Penny was fed, got her meds, was taken on walks, exactly as I requested. Stephanie took perfect care of my house as well -- I arrived home to a clean house, fresh sheets on the bed, and some homemade banana bread! I hope Stephanie will be available whenever I have to travel. I can't recommend Stephanie highly enough!
Elizabeth exceeded all expectations. I was lucky enough to book her last minute to watch mine and my neighbor’s dog. She asked a ton of questions prior to sitting for us that showed she really understood dogs and really wanted to make sure she stuck to our typical routine. Both dogs were instantly obsessed with her when she came for a meet and greet. She kept me updated on how the dogs were doing, sent tons of great pictures, and generally just made me feel relaxed about being away from my pup. When I got home, both dogs were relaxed and happy. The house looked even better than how I had left it. I hope to have Elizabeth stay with us again soon!
Micah did a fantastic job staying with our pups and cat for the weekend! Micah kept the house spotless, followed all the house rules and care guidelines, and sent many pictures and updates so we knew they were in good hands. During the meet-n-greet, Micah had asked plenty of great questions to be sure on the expectations and so we felt confident in Micah's ability to provide a safe care experience for our pets. We're very happy to have Micah sit for us in future!
Jade was just a dream. Exceedingly polite, courteous, warm and friendly, and genuinely loves dogs. She and my energetic hound got along beautifully, and I felt safe and assured that Puck was being cared for. She communicated frequently, sent lots of pics, and left the house neat and clean, even changing the bedding. She's already booked for two more visits, so while I hate potentially missing out on her future availability, I highly recommend her!
Julia was awesome. We couldn’t be happier with how well she took care of our babies and treated our house. Julia was very communicative and the daily photos were perfect for us to feel great about leaving our girls in her care. No second thoughts about using Julia again on our next trip.

FAQs for House Sitting - Avondale Estates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Avondale Estates 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 4,774 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avondale Estates. 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 Avondale Estates 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 Avondale Estates 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 Avondale Estates 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.
