“Ian did a great job taking care of my five year old Labrador. He was at the house almost 24/7 and sent me updates during the stay. Would definitely recommend him to others.”
About: Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets as both an owner and sitter. I’ve worked with dogs and cats. Along the way, I’ve developed special skills like administering medications, handling pets with specific dietary requirements, and providing comfort to those with anxiety or medical conditions. Whether it’s a playful walk, quiet cuddle, or ensuring they stick to their routine, I’m committed to creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel happy, healthy, and well cared for! As a newly separated veteran preparing to start school, I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule to dedicate to caring for pets. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their routines and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I provide personalized attention, including feeding, walking, administering medications if needed, and plenty of playtime and affection. I also keep the home tidy and secure, treating it with the same care and respect as I do the pets.
“Michael did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs while we were in DC for the day. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. Peanut and Sweet Pea were happy and relaxed when we got home - we definitely recommend Michaela!”
“Jessica was simply the best sitter! She kept me updated throughout the sit, and really gave the pups extra attention. We have a puppy-like rescue who is potty training and is full of energy, and she handled him really well. She was very attentive and it was a huge bonus that her dog, Ernie, played with our dog! We also have a senior dog who needed a separate walk and attention, and she was really responsive to his individual needs. Thank you so much, Jessica! We would definitely love to have you sit for us again.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of my fur babies while I was away! Jeannie is amazing and provided phenomenal communication and pictures making me feel at ease that they were in great hands! Definitely will rebook”
“Cassandra was so great! She was very communicative, had a great attention to detai, and sent us consistent updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry because of her!”
“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”
“Orianne is the best! She is so sweet, caring, calm. Madeline was comforted while we were out, which means the world to us. Madeline was happy to see us, and we could tell she was relaxed. Orianne will be our first call should we need a pet sitter again!”
“Nicole was absolutely fantastic with our St. Bernard, Layla. Because Layla is so large, we’re always a bit nervous about who can confidently handle her—but Nicole immediately put us at ease. She was calm, capable, and incredibly playful and loving with Layla from the start. Nicole was also very communicative and proactive throughout, keeping us updated and sent us photos. We would highly recommend Nicole and will absolutely be working with her again!”
“Andrea was absolutely amazing! Tundra can be cautious when meeting new people and I was so impressed with her demeanor and how Tundra opened up to her so quickly! She kept me informed the entire time and left my apartment as if no one was there! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Lindsey provided the best care for Mizu. She gave me daily updates and whenever I needed a little update. She followed instructions with feeding and administering medications. Mizu was in the best care. Will definitely have her watch him again when I am away.”
About: I've loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. From ages 10 to 18, I lived in a home with multiple pets, including dogs, cats, and birds of all ages. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, playing, administering medication, and providing daily care to ensure they were happy and healthy. Today, I have my own dog, Loki, who has been part of my family for the past three years. I believe pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same compassion, patience, and love that I give my own. My goal is to provide a safe, caring, and dependable experience so you can have peace of mind while your furry family member is in my care. I'm available weekdays from 9 AM–9 PM and weekends from 10 AM–8 PM. Since I have a dog at home, I provide attentive care in your pet's familiar environment. I provide respectful, loving care in your pet's familiar environment, following their routine and treating them with the same attention and compassion I give my own dog. I am very comfortable with taking them on walks within your residential area.
“Alexis is your one-stop-shop for pet needs. Our dog Nala needed a sitter relatively last minute and Alexis was there for us. She is attentive, engaged, and shows the utmost care and respect. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Alexis provides the gold standard of care and you and your furry friend can rest assured your experience will be nothing but amazing”
“Andra and Russ took great care of our house and of our two dogs while we were out of the country for a week. They were very communicative and provided updates on how the girls were doing during our trip. We highly recommend them and will use them again for dog sitting.”
“Jeana was absolutely fantastic! She was on time every day, gave us consistent updates and sent us lots of photos of our cats. She also made sure they had plenty of playtime and cuddles. When we returned home, our cats were very happy and our house was clean! We can’t thank her enough and have even already rebooked with her for another trip we have coming up. Thank you so much Jeana!”
“Marie was such a great dog sitter for our two senior pups! She gave us updates on their day, photos, and I can tell that the dogs had a wonderful time. They went on many adventurous walks. She also took great care of the house while staying. She was communicative whenever she had questions. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a dog sitter.”
“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. She left the house as she found it and was responsive about letting us know how Farah was doing. Highly recommend!”
“Olena took great care of our precious baby Maple! She sent so many pictures and updates - it was wonderful. She also took great care of our home. We would definitely book her again!”
“Truffle had a blast yet again! We really appreciated the videos of our pup’s adventures. Titi also got some cuddle time during the stay. The house was very clean when we got home and Renee even mowed the grass. Thank you for taking great care of our furry friends”

Lia went out of her way to update us, and responded in a timely manner anytime we reached out. She took great care of our home and our animals. She even let us know when our old pup had tummy troubles and asked us next steps for his care even though it wasn’t emergent. Thanks for taking such great care of our house and pets!
Shennan was easy to work with, professional, prompt and responsive. We did two meet and greets before my weekend away because I am always nervous when my little anxious Archie is with someone new. Archie took to her right away and looked happy and healthy when I got back home...and my house was as I left it. I wouldn't hesitate to book Shennan again when she is home from school.
Erica was amazing with our two cats and our dog. She kept us updated throughout our time away, left the house spotless, and, most importantly, treated our pets with genuine care and kindness. It was clear from the start that she truly loves animals, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. We came home to happy pets and a clean home. I would absolutely recommend Erica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
We are so grateful for the wonderful care Sydney gave our dogs. The dogs were very nervous while we were gone and unfortunately had diarrhea and several accidents during their stay. Sydney kept us updated with messages and photos, was incredibly patient, and handled everything with such kindness and professionalism. She even went out to buy extra cleaning supplies and washed everything that needed it. We truly appreciated all of the extra effort she put in and how well she cared for our pups despite the unexpected challenges. We would book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and compassionate sitter. Thank you so much!
Daniela stayed with our dog Skyler for 5 days. This was the first time we’d left her at home with a sitter and it worked out perfectly. Daniela was always responsive to text and sent plenty of pictures which showed me that Skyler was having a good time. All which made our trip so much less stressful. Skyler was well cared for. Will definitely use her again!
Alexis was wonderful! She took such great care of my dog, cat, and home. She was a great communicator and gave such nice updates. I trusted her with the care of my pets and she went above and beyond! I will absolutely use her again and unequivocally recommend her for your pet sitting needs!
I can’t say enough of how well Anna cared for our pets while we were gone. A true tell-tale sign of this is when I returned home. I opened my door and they came towards me nonchalantly. They were not over excited or timid as though they accepted her as part of their pack. She will be my preferred choice from now on out.

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 August 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 August 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.

- 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.
