This is the first time we've worked with Ian to house sit for our two dogs. It's obvious from meeting him for the first time that he is a dog person and really gets them. One of our girls is very shy around men but she warmed up to him right away, which is saying something. We came home to two relaxed and happy dogs. You really can't ask for more than that. On top of happy dogs, the house was completely in order, which I appreciate. We will definitely hire Ian again.

Lindsey was a great communicator, respectful of our home, and handled our fur babies well. She kept us informed of issues while we were away and was also responsive with any questions or concerns we had. We'd hire her again and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter. Thank you Lindsey!

We can't say enough good things about the care that Jeana provides for our pups when we go on trips! She checks in prior to the trip, shares detailed updates and pictures each day while we are away, and leaves the house immaculate and pups happy upon our return. She is responsive and reliable, and our dogs love her. We really appreciate the care and attention that Jeana brings as a sitter, and highly recommend her!

Jessica just watched my furbaby for the first time and it was wonderful to receive many detailed updates and photos. She was direct, so kind, and left my home looking exactly as she found it. Most importantly, Coco was happy and healthy when I returned! Ernie (Jessica's adorable pup) did a great job socializing with Coco, as a nice bonus. Would happily use Jessica again in the future!

About: I have owned both dogs and cats. While I have no pets of my own at the moment, for the last five years I have been boarding dogs for friends, neighbors and colleagues. I enjoy taking your pup out for walks in the neighborhood, playing catch in the back yard or just hanging out. I am a local school teacher so I am home by 3:30 for afternoon walks and play sessions. I am free most evenings and weekends. I have a large fenced yard for your pets to play. I am happy to have your pet in all areas of my home. I provide a morning walk, an afternoon walk and play session, a walk before dinner and a short walk before bed. Walk length is between .5 and 2 miles depending on the dog and the weather with at least one longer walk each day.

Kari really me helped me feel at ease going away for a few days without knowing how my newly adopted pup with separation anxiety would react. Turns out Kari is a dog whisperer and Belle did great in her care! Kari was communicative in how things were going and she was very observant and thoughtful in understanding and proposing what Belle might need or like. Thank you Kari for being so kind and attentive with Belle and all of us as a family!

Holly was great! Our dog did really well and didn’t even get the stress runs like she usually does. She even washed the bedding and towels she used before she left and left my house looking amazing. My dog destroyed one of her toys while we were gone and holly took her to petsmart to get some more! Would highly recommend

I wish there was a way to give more than 5 stars! Alexis completely exceeded every expectation we had. She cared for all four of our dogs (4 BIG Bernese Mountain Dogs), Millie, Maisey, Bon, and Lucy, and I was truly blown away by how attentive, patient, and loving she was with each of them. Maisey is extremely anxious and can be a very challenging dog to care for. We are always nervous leaving her with someone new, but Alexis was unbelievably gentle, patient, and accommodating with her. She never rushed her or pushed her outside of her comfort zone and took the time to understand exactly what Maisey needed. That alone meant more to us than I can explain. On top of caring for four very large dogs, Alexis administered medication to both Maisey and Bon, handled their walks and routines, and somehow managed an honestly overwhelming amount of work with so much kindness and care. We are admittedly very nervous dog parents, and she kept us constantly updated and made us feel completely at ease. I cannot overstate how impressed we were by Alexis. Her ability to give four dogs such individualized and attentive care is incredibly special. She is genuinely one of the kindest people and has such a natural way with animals. We came home feeling beyond grateful and honestly so lucky to have found her. I would trust Alexis with our dogs again in a heartbeat and truly cannot recommend her enough!

James was absolutely amazing! He house sat for us while we were away in Europe, and we truly could not have asked for a better person to care for our Rosie. He sent us pictures and videos throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was so clear that he and Rosie quickly became best friends. We came home to a happy, well-loved pup and are just so grateful for the care and attention he gave her. We feel incredibly lucky to have found James and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby!

Team Debbie was absolutely amazing! She stayed overnight on a holiday weekend and bonded very well with our older Frenchie. She sent awesome pictures of our baby and kept us up to date so we knew all was well with our baby while we were away. Lastly, it feels like the house was even cleaner than when we left it. I’d absolutely recommend Debbie to anyone and will definitely be using her in the future. It’s a relief to have someone trustworthy to watch our baby/home.

Sofia was amazing with Tommy. It was our longest trip ever and it was so nice to have someone so communicative and attentive while away. She noticed every one of his cute and bizarre behaviors and even helped rub a little toner pad on his kitty-summer-acne spot. If you need anyone to watch after your baby, Sofia is the one to call 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Carla was awesome and I would absolutely have her come back to house sit for my dog Harley. My sitter cancelled on me last minute and Carla jumped in, she was able to schedule a meet and greet within the hour and sit for Harley that weekend. She sent me a ton of updates, and then when I got home my house was super clean and she had left me a little chocolate (SO SWEET)!! Thank you so much Carla for going above and beyond!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Belle Haven

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Belle Haven on Rover is $55.5 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 10,025 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Belle Haven. 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 Belle Haven 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 Belle Haven 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 Belle Haven 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 Belle Haven. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.
