“5* ! I was nervous about leaving my cats and dog for the first time. Marsha and Kirt were beyond amazing. They send loads of pictures, kept us updated and were very warm people. Highly recommend”
“This is our second time using Cesilia and we will definitely use her again! She is so friendly, and so communicative. We felt so confident leaving our dogs with her, and we came home to happy dogs and a spotless home. She is highly recommended!”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She came for a meet and greet with dog, Lyra and Lyra loved her. She was very communicative and sent pictures every day. Highly recommend.”
“Kaylee was a big help to us. She agreed to the sitting on short notice and that enabled us to attend a funeral in Taiwan. The house was kept in good condition - she washed the sheets and towels, as well as the dishes. Chloe is a rescue pup with anxiety issues, and Kaylee was able to help her deal with our absence.”
“Sariah came and stayed with our two older dogs for several days. Our shepherd has heart issues, so we wanted to find someone who would know how to handle multiple medications, as well as observe him for behavioral changes that might signal a change in his condition. We hit the jackpot with Sariah. She has lived a lifetime of caring for pets with much more complicated medical issues than what we were asking of her. She came before the booking to meet with us and our dogs, and I knew immediately that they would be in good hands. We had regular check-in's the first couple of days, and she was quick to respond to each question via text. 10/10 would recommend!”
“There is not enough that can be said for how amazing she is. If it wasn't for Haley's last minute availability we would have missed an amazing opportunity out of town. Incredible communication and patience. This is a superb sitter that I will be using for years to come. We greatly appreciate her insistence on a meet and greet and being flexible with the meeting time. I can say enough for how amazing she is. Buzz and Woody felt safe and right at home.”
“Paulina did a wonderful job with our pets. The stay was during Christmas, so it was extra special that she could stay at our home to care for our dogs. I will definitely have Paulina again!”
“Sophie is amazing. She is responsive and communicates really well. When I asked for her to come early she was gracious to accommodate us. Our dogs are well taken care of and our house is as clean as we left it with her. Thank you again Sophie.”
“Kaylie was excellent sitter to Winter. She gave him time to settle with her and then took him on walks. She made a point to regularly send pictures and updates on him. Thank you Kaylie for taking good care of Winter”
About: Fully fenced backyard. Safe neighborhood with wide sidewalks and plenty of neighborly love. Plenty of areas for doggos to safely relax, run, play and stay. Home during days and nights. Teenagers in the house provide extra hands for running, walking, feeding, and scratching. Best of all are daily trips to Badger Mountain Dog Park. Pets are always treated gently, with the utmost respect. Never would your pet by physically unsafe or harmed in my care. Your pets safety and happiness is my #1 priority.
About: I work as a veterinary assistant at an urgent care facility in town. I’ve worked in urgent care going on 5 years and general practice for 2 years. I occasionally cat sit and dog sit. I have a lot of knowledge in my career but I also love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, the clients and I just overall enjoy the joy they bring to me! I work 3 12s but I am able to stop in the check on the fur babies on my lunches. I also am very flexible with times I need to go take care of them on my days off as well. I have two kitties of my own. I don’t plan on being able to board pets at my own home due to me renting a house without a fenced backyard.
About: I grew up with dogs and had my own cats as an adult. I am also a mom and know how to take care of these fur babies as my own. I have used Rover a lot in the past and had a great experience with sitters and would love for the opportunity to become a pet sitter for someone in need! I am very flexible any day of the week! Usually anytime between 9-5 pm works great for us to stop by and check on a pet. I am happy to follow any directions you have for care for your pets and home! I am always kind and soft and let them get to know me first.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. For the past six years, I've cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other small animals. I've owned and cared for dogs of all sizes, from extra large breeds to small companion dogs, and no amount of energy is too much. I love keeping active and making sure every pet gets the exercise, playtime, and attention they need. At home, I have three dogs, two cats, and several reptiles, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, cleaning habitats, or simply providing companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and my goal is to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible right now, allowing me to accommodate last-minute bookings, extended visits, and changes in plans whenever possible. If you need reliable pet care on short notice, just reach out, and I'll do my best to be on my way as soon as possible. I'm happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets receive the care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. As a pet owner myself to three dogs, two cats, and several reptiles, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry, feathered, or scaly family member in someone else's care. I strive to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment where every pet feels safe and secure. I carefully follow your pet's routine, respect any special instructions, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Whether your companion is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I'll treat them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own pets.
About: I have taken care of pets for many years now , I had dogs growing up and would feed them, take them on walks and bathe them. I now own cats and gained many skills on taking good care of cats as well. I am currently unemployed & actively searching for work, for the time being I have open availability to take care of your pet whenever with timely booking :) I am able to feed, walk, play with any of your pets in your home and will be respectful of your privacy as well. I have lived around animals my whole life and have so much love for animals, I will take care of them like my own
“She did a great job with my senior dog Muffintop. She saved us short notice and was so accommodating to our needs. I received picture updates regularly and felt like she was really there to take care of Muffin so she wouldn’t be alone while we were away. Great communication, so friendly.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Badger on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 224 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Badger. 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 Badger 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 Badger 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 Badger 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 Badger. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
