“This was the second time my husband and I hired Hope to stay in our house and watch our dog. She is amazing. She worked around our schedules to accommodate when we needed her to arrive and left the house in stunning condition. She sent daily picture updates of our dog, who absolutely loves her. We know we don't need to worry when we leave our dog (and house) in Hope's care.”
“Drew always takes excellent care of our pets and home. With this stay, he came a day early due to the snowstorm and stayed until he knew we would make it home which was a huge relief when traveling in bad weather.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years and have always loved getting to know their unique personalities and routines. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy giving pets the attention, comfort, exercise, and companionship they need. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a work-from-home mom, pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for visits, walks, feedings, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I love having pets as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their families are away. I care for every pet with patience, love, and attention to their individual routine. In my home, pets have access to an unfenced yard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of room to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and keep their pet comfortable in their familiar environment.
“Julie kept us well informed about how Cooper was doing. He had nice long walks and play time in the yard with Julie. These are things we are unable to do with him so he loved it. Definitely would use Julie again.”
“John took care of our babies while we were gone for a trip! This was the longest we’ve been away from them and our nerves were all over. He eased our anxiety by providing pics multiple times a day and giving us updates on them. We can’t recommend him enough!”
“Alex is a fantastic pet sitter. The instructions for my senior cat can be a bit complicated - Alex took care of her and our golden retriever so well. Highly recommend. She left our house the way we left it, was very communicative, and trustworthy person.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl and that has been many many years ago. I have also worked as an animal tech and research assistant where I maintained animal colonies and worked with large animals. I believe having animals in your life is a blessing. I am retired and I love animals so I thought I would give some love and attention to the animals that need some attention while the owner is away from them. I have a fenced in yard that the dogs can run and play. I am also there with the dogs most if not all of the day.
“Eli was punctual, his communication is excellent! He watched over my dog like I would have and put my mind at ease. He sent pictures and was overall an A+++ sitter! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals on my family farm and I love them all! I have experience with dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, bunnies, ducks, and horses! I have a short school and work schedule so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets! Available many hours and days. I have fenced in areas and leashes outside to keep pet safe and secure. I also have barns and crates if needed for your pet.
About: I’ve been handling pets for many many years, have a lot of love to give, knowledge to share, and care to give to your pet, if you need someone reliable to handle your pet while your vacation, or away from home I’m your guy! I work full time, but in the weekends and I am on the weekends at any time and on weekdays I can be available after 7pm-8:30pm I have one small dog, and care for him day in and day out, making sure he always has toys, is entertained, and has a healthy feeding/bathroom schedule. Can provide the same loving care for You pet as well!
“Saige is the real deal!! She is very professional and accommodating. She gave our pup lots of love and snuggles and took great care of our high-maintenance girl. Luna can't wait to see Saige again!”
About: Hello! I used this website for sitters when I still had my rescue lab/ hound mix. Now that she passed, I want to support other fur baby parents the same way😁. I had Sadie for almost 6 years. Before Sadie, I house/dog sat regularly for friends for 10years. I'm experienced with reactive dogs, giving medicine in creative ways, taking care of up to 4 dogs at a time, and will take great care of your babies. I work 40hrs a week from 1p-10p Friday - Tuesday. I'm available for house/dog sitting, morning walks, and evening walks. I rent, so I'm not able to pet sit at my apartment. I also want to add that when house/dog sitting, when I'm not at work, I will focus solely on your fur babies and send pictures. I'm currently working 4/10's, and and I'm off on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. I'm available to sit every day. When caring for my dog, my life revolved around the dog. You could expect the same cuddles, walks, pictures, and quality time when I care for your fur babies. If house sitting, I would even let them sleep with me in the bed..... unless told otherwise 😁. When caring for your pets in your home, I will follow their schedule, feed them when they are normally fed, take them for walks when they want, rub their bellies when they want. If you are currently working on any special training with them, I would be happy to practice with them. Basically, I would focus on loving them when I'm not at work.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced, compassionate pet sitter who truly believes every animal deserves to be treated like family. 🐾 I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and have spent the past 3 years working professionally as a pet sitter through an established pet-care company. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, hamsters, snakes, skunks, and more. I absolutely love animals of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities—including exotic pets and farm animals! 🏡 Dog Boarding in My Home I offer boarding in my home for dogs under 40 pounds. Your dog will be welcomed into a loving, pet-friendly home where they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and cuddles. I have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and six cats, so my home is truly an animal-loving environment. Because of my resident pets, I want to make sure every boarding guest is comfortable around other animals and is a good fit for our household. I’m happy to discuss your dog’s personality, routines, and needs ahead of time to make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable stay. I do not crate pets unless that is your preference or part of their normal routine. 🐾 Care in Your Home — Dogs of Any Size & All Animals For dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home, I’m happy to care for dogs of any size, as well as cats and other animals. Whether you have a tiny puppy, a large dog, multiple pets, or a variety of animals, I can provide loving, dependable care tailored to their individual needs and routines. As someone who has used professional pet-sitting services myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pets feel happy and cared for—whether they’re staying in their own home and routine or enjoying a vacation at my home. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets with special needs. I’m also experienced with administering both oral medications and injections. You’ll receive daily updates (or more frequently if you prefer), including photos, so you never have to wonder how your babies are doing. For your added peace of mind, I carry my own pet-sitting insurance. I’m also a non-smoker and non-drinker. Whether you have one dog, a house full of cats, an exotic pet, or a whole farm of animals, I’d love the opportunity to care for them! ❤️ Please feel free to reach out with any questions about me, my services, or my rates. I’d love to meet you and your pets! 🐾 Flexible, At-Home Pet Care Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. My flexible work schedule allows me to adjust my hours around your pets’ needs, whether they’re staying in their own home or boarding with me in my home. When your dog stays with me, they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and attention throughout the day, while still allowing them to relax and feel comfortable in a home environment. For pets I care for in your home, I can work around their normal routine and provide the individualized care they’re accustomed to. Whether your pet needs regular walks, medication, playtime, extra potty breaks, or simply someone nearby for companionship, my flexible schedule allows me to be there for them. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for—whether they’re staying in their own home or enjoying a stay at mine.❤️ 🐾 Caring for Your Pets in My Home or Yours Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and happiness. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they receive personalized care and plenty of love and attention. I’m experienced with administering both oral medications and injections, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions to help keep your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, I’m also happy to help with the little things that give you extra peace of mind, including bringing in your mail, watering plants, taking out the garbage, and keeping your home looking lived-in. Most importantly, your pets will receive plenty of companionship, affection, playtime, and attention. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for with the same love and attention I would want for my own. ❤️
“As usually, Emma was great with Delilah. We booked Emma a little last minute, and were so thankful she was able to stay with our pup for the weekend. Ample walks, constant attention, great communication and even great in the face of getting locked out of our house! We’d book Emma again in a heartbeat!”
“Brianna was so great with our two dogs and cat while we were away! She sent tons of updates and really made us feel at ease while we were out of town, especially with our animals requiring medications and senior care. Definitely recommend!”
About: As your pet's second best friend, I offer tailored care, genuine love, and a paw-sitively unforgettable experience! I am well educated in dog training, ensuring they’re mentally and physically stimulated, to overall pet health. I take care of my dog to the fullest extent, your dog will be treated all the same as a new member of the pack! To ensure safety and health, we don’t play right after eating to avoid bloat, I am very conscious of heat on their paws when walking on different surfaces, I avoid rawhide treats and go with homemade or very natural treats instead, and those are just scratching the surface of do’s and don’ts! I keep a structured but flexible routine, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency. I prioritize walks, potty breaks throughout the day, and lots of playtime and enrichment. I’m home often and very intentional about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your dog needs structure, cuddles, or high energy engagement, I adapt to their personality and routine to make their stay feel as close to home as possible! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a well-socialized dog, Dilo, who has a background in working in high stress environments to not be reactive. Nonetheless, I always do slow introductions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If needed, I can crate or provide separate spaces for rest and decompression. Inside my home, I maintain a clean, structured environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I closely monitor interactions, follow feeding instructions carefully, and stick to your dog’s routine as closely as possible so they maintain some sense of routine while being away from home.
“Katie was amazing with our 2 shepherds. We know they can be a handful but she made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and updates to put our minds at ease and gave them all the play, treats, and attention they asked for! Definitely will book with Katie again next time we are out of town.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Belfast is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $38 per night.

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 Belfast 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 Belfast 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 Belfast 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
