“Jaidyn was absolutely wonderful and was great with our two cats. She was always communicating with us, very responsive, and even went over and above when our train was delayed by staying a little longer with our cats than planned. She also sent us pics and asked questions whenever something needed clarity. I highly recommend Jaidyn for house-sitting your cats!”

She did a great job keeping us updated on how our dogs were doing and took such good care of both of them, including our new rescue puppy who needed medication and a little extra attention. Both dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend her!”

About: I love animals so much! I am mindful and considerate of pet of all kind I connect with both people and pets very well in different environments. I'm respectful and understanding towards the needs of the pets and their owner. Thank you for trusting me Availability is early mornings 6am-9am drop ins afternoons 10-5pm and 5pm - 10pm. Let me know questions you may have I may be flexible. I’d prefer to house-sit at rather than board, but I’m open to discussing it. I have an open living room with space for a crate or dog, a spare-room bed, and a backyard. Please provide details about morning and evening meals and any required medication. :) I can take walks in the morning, afternoon, and evening, with additional walks

Joshua was absolutely amazing with our Buster. He is our crazy 9 yo Boston Terrier whom has super separation anxiety and can't be around other dogs but once he meets you he loves to play. And Joshua went above and beyond. Gave us updates and lots of pictures. He not only played with Buster he knew he was having the separation anxiety even tho we were only away for the night. Joshua jumped in like a superhero sat with him while he ate. Slept in our guestroom and Buster was well loved and felt safe until we returned the next morning. Joshua is very respectful of our home and did everything we asked and told him to make himself at home. Which we believed he did. Thank you Joshua from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to go out for the night and not have to worry about our Buster aka "Walter" (he turns into crazy dog at the window we call him Walter)😀

Claire took great care of Walker. She provided regular updates with photos and gave Walker the attention he needed while I was away. She went above and beyond, helping him get over a fear of eating from a bowl and reorganizing a little make a safer pup environment when it was clear his anxiety was pushing him toward anxiety-reducing chewing behaviors. Overall, I knew Walker was in excellent hands and care.

We were so happy go have Issi (Cynthia) housesit and care for our high energy cat. Our sweet cat has asthma and Issi was so helpful in administering his inhaler daily, as well as cleaning ears as he’s prone to ear infections. Our cat is part of our family and Issi made sure to play with him and keep him company while we were away. We were so grateful to her and she treated our house with respect. She also communicated very well and sent updates with pictures, which I appreciate. Highly recommend Issi!

Jason was absolutely exceptional! We were away for a week, and he took amazing care of our dogs. We came home to two very happy pups and a house left in perfect condition. He consistently sent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He was also a great communicator and always kept us informed of any issues or concerns. It’s clear that Jason genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We 100% plan to use him again! 10/10 recommend — your pets will be in the best hands with Jason!

FAQs for House Sitting - Belle Haven

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Belle Haven is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 9,853 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Belle Haven. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
