“Second time having Zhanna watch my energetic boy, and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ryder loves her, and I come home to a happy, content dog. Plus, she takes the BEST photos. Attentive to instructions, responsive, and overall one of the best sitters I’ve had on Rover!”

“I couldn't be happier with the care my dogs received from Ian. They absolutely love him! He went above and beyond, taking them on walks and spending quality time with them throughout the day.

I highly recommend him and will definitely be using his services again in the future. Thanks for everything!”

“Veronica is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My six month old puppy Zeke loved her and had such a great time with her and her dog JoJo. She kept me up-to-date on how things were going and sent pictures every day. She stayed at my house and when I returned, it was like I never left… She had cleaned everything up!! She is fantastic! Highly recommended!”
“Jessica did a great job! She and Ernie stayed at our place and watched our dog. She was extremely communicative throughout our stay which was reassuring. She left our place better than she found it.”

“Yocelyn obviously loves dogs, and my very anxious pocket bully fell in love with her immediately. Yocelyn has a relaxed feel to her, which was good for my dog, and she was also careful to give Farah her numerous supplements.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Belle Haven
Marie took wonderful care of our elderly lab, Emma! Emma has health issues, requires medication and frequent walks and Marie saw to her every need beautifully. We have had Emma only a few months and so she still adjusting to a new home. Marie was very loving and supportive.
Jules did a great job caring for our two dogs while we were away! Jules was attentive, communicated frequently, and made sure our dogs’ were safe and loved while we were away. She also left our home in pristine condition. We highly recommend Jules and will use her again in the future.
Rebecca took very good care of Tyson. Tyson is a little anxious and she was patient with him and he warmed right up to her. She also took excellent care of our home and was left spotless. Tyson was happy and loved her so much. We will definitely book her again.
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!!
Erica took great care of our dog and two cats for a weekend. She arrived early in the morning on the day we left to make sure they ate on time, and made sure to allow time to feed them and take the dog for a walk before she had to leave for work on the final morning. She was responsive, sent regular updates, and left the house tidy. It was great to have a reliable sitter!
Vannice was fantastic when it came to taking care of my dog and making sure all her needs were met! She ensured to provide daily pictures and updates when she took my dog out as well as when she was fed to make sure I knew what was going on throughout the day while I was gone. I’m glad to know my dog was in great hands while I was gone and would definitely recommend Vannice to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!
Auston and Kaitlyn our lifesavers. They were able to take care of our lovely cats and dogs complete with a lot of special care needed for a couple of our four legged friends. They were able to juggle our needs with everything going on in their life and we were just blessed to find them. I would highly recommend them for your daily pet care or overnight.

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 June 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 June 2026, there are 9,966 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.

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.
