“Carly was fantastic. She was easy to communicate with and sent updates throughout her stay, including a sweet photo of our pup. We'll definitely reach out to her again!”
“Madie was such a blessing to have as a sitter. She was beyond thorough and her love for my pet was tangible! She updated me all the time with pictures to keep my heart at ease while I was away from my geriatric dog haha. She handled my senior dog with great care and my house with the same respect as her own. I am so thankful!”
“This is the third time Emma has stayed with Goose and again we came home to a clean house and tired dog. Emma is great! We’re looking forward to having her dog sit multiple more times this year.”

“Emily did an awesome job taking care of my dogs for a week while I went on a trip. She communicated very well, sent pictures every day, and was able to care for my two high energy dogs without any issues. I would definitely recommend and will be asking her to dog sit for me again for future trips”
“First time using Rover and we honestly weren’t sure what to expect, but Nicolas completely put us at ease. He took Georgia on walks, kept her happy, and treated our home with total respect. He sent pictures throughout the evening and was easy to communicate with from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience and will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Ashley has great communication! She sent multiple pictures, let me know when she arrived and when she left. My dog was the most relaxed and content he has been with any sitter. We will definitely be using Ashley again.”
“Jesse was great! He took good care of my two dogs over a holiday weekend. He checked in daily. My dogs were well taken care of. I highly recommend Jesse if you are looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“Landry was awesome and took excellent care of our pups during our house-sitting booking. One of our pups has some special needs (requires oral medication) and she followed all the directions for care perfectly. 10/10 would book again!!”
About: Ive been around animals my entire life including big or small (dogs, cats, fish, horses, etc) I've taken care of dogs all shapes and sizes including my dorm parents massive (and energetic) Great Pyrenees puppy. I am able to accommodate any kind of dog, Puppy, Rescue, senior, special needs. I can also clean homes if you need the help. I can currently take care of your pets during the weekends all day, and weekdays outside the hours 9-5. I understand potty breaks are a must so i can offer one 15 min long walk during my work day. To keep a safe envirment and to keep everything stress free i am willing to travel to your home and take care of your fur babies.
“Britney was wonderful! Very responsive and communicated (with the best photos!) throughout the time she house-sat for us. She was professional, tidy and the pups enjoyed the time with her. We're thrilled with Britney and can't wait to have her sit for us again soon!”
“Jeremy and Megan were wonderful to work with. This was our first time using someone other than friends and family and I don’t think we could have found better. They are kind and communicative. Our dog, Porkchop took to them right away, and we feel our boy got all the love he longs for while we were away. We will definitely use Jeremy and Megan again! Highly recommend.”
“Trena was amazing! She is great at sending pictures and keeping us updated. Our house looked like she had never even been here when she left. It was so nice not having to worry at all about our dog while we were on a trip. Thanks so much Trena!”
“Wren was wonderful! She watched my pup for 2 weeks while I was away and house sat for me. She took great care of him and kept the home pretty clean. He is so happy, she did an amazing job!”
“We had another great experience with Jenna! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our fur babies. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for pups. We would definitely book with Jenna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Emily did both house sitting and dog sitting for us while we took an eight-day vacation. She took excellent car of our border collie, Sadie, walking her every day and just keeping her company. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. I would use Emily again and I recommend her highly.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Balmont
Nicolas, or Cole, watched Riley and Orion for us while we were gone several hours at a wedding. He kept in touch with us, took the pups for potty walks and sent photos to update us. Riley isn't always comfortable with men, but she was all over Cole, and Orion loved him, too!! He fed them, and they both ate, which isn't always a given during travel and new places. Cole was great with them, and they may have wanted to go home with him if we'd let them 😁 Thank you for making it much easier and worry-free to be at my niece's wedding. We appreciate the help!!
Emily was wonderful and very attentive on keeping me updated on everything going on. We always leave during the 4th so there is always a bit more stress since my pup is not a huge fan of fireworks but she stayed with him the whole time to make sure he was comfortable and stress free! I will absolutely be rebooking with her!
We have an elderly dog who needs special attention. Lillian was very sensitive to our needs and requests, and gave us frequent updates on all three of our furry friends while we were gone. Lillian gave us peace of mind, so we could enjoy our trip. Would certainly recommend Lillian to anyone in need of a dog sitter!
Delaney was absolutely awesome watching my dog for over a month. I was delayed on my travel and she was just fine with adding an additional week on. She took such good care of my home and dog, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog and or dog/house sitter. She is the best!
Jenna is amazing!! She took great care of our dogs… one is elderly and needs more attention than most. She went above and beyond to care for them and this made it easier on us being away from them. I can’t say enough great things about her. Thank you, Jenna! M. Nagel
We had an excellent experience with Galina! She took care of our two dogs in our home while we were away on vacation, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. She was incredibly attentive and caring, and it was clear our dogs felt comfortable and happy with her. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs and home were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Galina to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Balmont
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Balmont on Rover is $80.47 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 441 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Balmont. 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 Balmont 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 Balmont 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 Balmont 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 Balmont. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
