We are so fortunate to have found Kalpana on Rover! She took excellent care of our two dogs, (and also our home) for 9 days. The pups were happy and enjoyed nice twice daily walks, backyard play and snuggles. Kalley took care of their feeding including a daily med for one dog. It was clear that the dogs were totally comfortable and happy with her and she spent a lot of quality time with them. We didn't need to worry about package deliveries, trash day, or watering plants - those were taken care of. Kalley left our home immaculate, even washing sheets and making up the bed fresh. We definitely plan to use Kalley again when dog-/house-sitting comes up again.

This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.

Brooke was amazing! She stayed at our house for 9 days watching our dog, our chickens, and a newly acquired gecko. She is an excellent communicator, keeping us informed every day with pictures and quick updates. She was an amazing houseguest, and left the house cleaner than when she got here. Our pets loved having her here and so did we. We will definitely book Brooke again.

Lindsey was absolutely amazing! Samson took to her immediately, which says a lot because he doesn't instantly warm up to everyone. She was so kind, patient, and loving with him, and it was obvious from the start that she's a true dog person. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely trust Lindsey to watch Samson again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog sitter!

This mother/daughter duo is amazing! They took care of my senior dog over the Holidays and gave her non stop attention and care. They administered pills, stayed with her all day, sent plenty of pictures and stayed in great contact with us while we were gone. Would absolutely recommend them to care for your furry family member ❤️

Olga was very caring with our senior dog, and very responsive. She sent updates and pictures everyday so we always know how our little babies were doing! Our dog is currently in the middle of cancer treatment so her care and comfort was paramount to us and to her. We are so grateful for that. Only complaint is that our cat’s litter box was not cleaned regularly, and he began peeing on other things in response. We did not remind her to do this so we will take partial responsibility but the smell was very strong and it was clear it hadn’t been cleaned. Otherwise, we would absolutely have Olga back due to the peace of mind we had while she was watching our fur babies!

About: Growing up, my family has owned many dogs and other pets, and I have always been heavily involved in their care. I had a dog walking business a few years ago, and I regularly watched the dogs of our friends and neighbors. My family also fostered a dog for a time, which I was heavily involved in. Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to walk and care for many different dogs through Rover. Throughout all of these experiences, I have had to care for many different types of dogs, both big and small, and old and young. As a result, I am comfortable with all types of breeds and know how to navigate challenges when it comes to pet care. Most importantly, I love dogs! I am available every day of the week from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. I am very flexible and can always find time to accommodate other schedules. Please check my calendar for any days marked unavailable. When caring for dogs in the homes of others, I make sure that they are comfortable, well fed, and loved. When walking dogs, I always make sure to go at their pace, pick up after them, and keep them safe.

About: I’ve been a dog owner and caregiver for 40 years, since I was just 6 years old. Over the years, I’ve owned more than 10 dogs and have cared for many, many more. I’ve had experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also have extensive experience caring for dogs with special needs and medical conditions, including administering medications and following specific care routines. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. Most importantly, I truly believe dogs are family. I provide the same patience, love, attention, and care that I would want someone to provide for my own pets. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I currently work from home, which means I have the flexibility to build my schedule around your fur baby’s routine and needs. I’m available throughout the day for drop-ins, potty breaks, walks, meals, medication, playtime, or simply some extra love and companionship. Your pet won’t be left waiting all day for someone to come home—I can work their care into my day and give them the attention they deserve! I treat every pet as an individual and make their comfort, safety, and routine my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible, including meals, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide frequent drop-ins and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes and treat them with the same care and consideration I would my own. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Raquel took great care of my dog and left my home in pristine condition while house sitting. She was highly communicative throughout the stay and made sure that my dog went out for plenty of walks and had lots of indoor play time. My dog does not do well with other dogs and Raquel did a great job in avoiding any issues while on walks. I would highly recommend Raquel’s services!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was absolutely amazing—attentive to every one of our dogs’ needs and incredibly communicative throughout our entire trip. She kept us updated, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, it was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them as if they were her own.

Emma was GREAT! We have two dogs and two cats and we’re gone for 9 days so there a lot for her to take on. We came home to a clean and tidy space and happy pets. Emma is communicative, helpful with the random needs and requests that came, responsive when we checked in. She sent us updates and photos so we knew they were in great hands. When you’re hiring someone to sit with your babies in your home it requires a lot of trust. Emma lived up to our expectations and hopes. I am so grateful we met her. I HIGHLY recommend Emma for housesitting and pet care!

We are incredibly grateful to Anya for taking such wonderful care of our baby boy, Google. This was a last-minute trip, and Anya graciously agreed to watch him with very little notice. From the moment we met her, she was kind, caring, and clearly went above and beyond to make Google feel loved and comfortable. What meant the most to us was how genuinely loving she was toward Google. She treated him like her own and made sure he felt safe, happy, and loved. Knowing that our baby was getting that kind of care gave us so much peace of mind. Anya is responsible, compassionate, trustworthy, and truly went above and beyond for us. We would absolutely have her care for Google again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. ❤️

Absolute Perfection! Monique is a True Dog Whisperer. We left our dog, Cali, with Monique for two weeks while we were away in Hawaii, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Cali is incredibly skittish around people and typically does not like other people or dogs. She has a strict "no touching" rule with almost everyone. However, Monique’s extensive background raising dogs and horses completely shone through. She understood exactly how to handle a timid dog, and the results were nothing short of a miracle. Cali absolutely fell in love with her, she was cuddling next to her on the couch, sleeping in bed with her, and even let Monique touch her, which is practically unheard of for anyone outside our immediate family. Beyond being amazing with Cali, Monique was a phenomenal house sitter. She sent us several texts and videos every single day, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were thousands of miles away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, brought in our mail, and even kept my tomato plants watered and thriving. It is honestly tragic that we are moving soon, because we would baseline use Monique for every single one of our future trips without hesitation. If you are looking for someone patient, incredibly skilled with animals, and completely trustworthy, book Monique immediately. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

We've had Hilary stay with our 105-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback at our house several times now, and this was the second time she watched him while we were traveling overseas. Leaving for an international trip is stressful enough, so having someone we completely trust made a huge difference. She always follows our care instructions, takes great care of our dog, and keeps us updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. She's quick to respond, flexible if plans change, and always treats our home with respect. We never have to worry about either our dog or our house when she's there. The biggest sign of how great she is is how much our dog loves her. During one night while we were away, a storm came through, and he was scared. Instead of pacing around the house, he wanted to sleep in the bedroom with her, which says a lot about how comfortable and safe he feels with her. We feel completely at ease leaving both our dog and our home in her care. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter.

We have had Rachel watch our two dogs at our house a couple times now and I really couldn’t say enough good things about our experiences with her. One of our dogs is mostly blind in one eye and needs multiple rounds of medications/eye drops which she has been able to give him without issue. We are so grateful for the ease we feel while we are away when she is watching them, knowing they are in good hands!

Ellie was a wonderful sitter. We were a little worried at first, as Ellie is younger than the usual sitters we have, but she surpassed our expectations! Both our cat and dog were very relaxed; Ellie ensured that both our pets were comfortable. It's tough enough to manage one pet, so the fact that Ellie was able to manage both our pets together proves her competence. We will definitely be hiring Ellie again in the very near future 🐶😺

FAQs for House Sitting - Belmont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Belmont on Rover is $54.39 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 9,324 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Belmont. 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 Belmont 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 Belmont 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 Belmont 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 Belmont. 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.
