“Micah took great care of our two pups while we were away over night. He sent plenty of updates and pictures and left our home in great shape. He has become our “go to” sitter and walker.”
“Shaine is so easy to work with. She communicates well, is always on time, leaves our home in great shape, and our dog is always happy. We'll definitely continue to have her dog sit.”
“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.”
“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!”

About: Hi! I'm Jacqueline, and I'd love to help care for your pets as if they were my own. As a lifelong animal lover, I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I had the privilege of sharing 15 wonderful years with my dog, and today I'm the proud pet parent of a playful 5-year-old cat. I also regularly pet sit for close friends for years now, caring for both dogs and cats while they're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you're gone. Whether that means long walks, games of fetch, plenty of playtime, belly rubs, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I'll tailor my care to your pet's personality and routine. I understand that every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and loved. I'm dependable, attentive, and believe pets deserve more than just the basics; they deserve companionship, affection, and someone who truly enjoys being with them. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I am available 7 days a week, daytime and evenings for quick drop-ins, extended hours, and overnight stays. As a cat and dog owner, I love caring for both types of pets! I am available to care for your pets in your home, whether that means a visit to care for them or staying in your home. My goal is to ensure the pet owner(s) and the pet(s) are comfortable and well taken care of.
“Chloe was an absolute godsend for us and watched one of our dogs Stein and both of our cats at our home over Christmas. She was extremely communicative & caring, was able to teach & reinforce commands, and even came to the house 3x before the trip to make sure our reactive dog was well acquainted with her before we left. She is our new go to sitter & we can’t recommend her enough!”
“Did an amazing job with our pets and really went above and beyond with her pet sitting services. She stayed at our home with the animals and was a great house guest while we were gone”
“Caitlin was professional, conscientious , and awesome with boys, Buster & Albert. She sent pictures and kept in contact with us while we were gone. When we returned we found the house in excellent shape, Buster & Albert were calm and happy to see us. I highly recommend Caitlin D for dog walking and pet/house sitting. A++++++++++”
“Lindsay watched my two older dogs, one of which doesn't do well with strangers. She stayed at our house and took great care of my dogs and house! She was very communicative and sent us pictures daily. We would definitely use her services again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale Estates
Jessica was absolutely exceptional. Leaving your home and a young kitten in someone else’s care can be stressful, but Jessica made the entire experience effortless from start to finish. She treated our home with incredible respect, keeping everything spotless and exactly as we left it. More importantly, she gave our kitten so much love, attention, and playtime that we never once worried while we were away. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the week, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and made it clear our little one was happy, comfortable, and thriving. It’s obvious that Jessica genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She is dependable, communicative, kind, and went above and beyond in every way. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitten and a home that was even tidier than when we left. We would trust Jessica again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter or house sitter. She is truly one of the best, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Five stars isn’t enough!
Chloe is great - I highly recommend her for dog sitting. She’s terrific with my dog and super communicative with me. Definitely makes it a lot easier to go away and feel like your pet and home are in good hands. I’ve hired her for both short (few days) and longer (week+) stints and I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again for any length of time.
Micah has done an excellent job of caring for our cat and two dogs during both drop-ins and longer multi-night stays. Micah is communicative, pro-active, and takes great care to leave our home in good shape. Micah also helped us navigate a tricky broken appliance situation when we were out of the country and it was a huge relief to know we had a responsive, responsible sitter to take care of it. Our pets love Micah so we’d gladly book him again!
Lindsey was amazing with Nora and Buzz. She was incredibly accommodating, flexible with timing, and kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and lots of pictures. She even handled an unexpected water outage without missing a beat and made sure the dogs had everything they needed. It was obvious they were comfortable with her and had a great time. She went above and beyond, and I’d absolutely book with her again.
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!
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!

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.
