About: Dedicated and reliable pet sitter with 21 years of hands-on experience in dog sitting, cat sitting, overnight care, and residential house sitting.

Because I am fully available during days, nights, and weekends, your pet will enjoy a highly consistent and engaging routine that fits seamlessly into their usual habits. I will care for your pets in your home with love and gentleness, treating them exactly like they are my own. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I understand that your pets are beloved family members. My goal is to maintain their regular routines, keep their stress levels low, and shower them with undivided attention while you are away. Whether your dog needs an energetic game of fetch, a long neighborhood walk, or your cat prefers quiet cuddle time, I adapt my energy to match your pet's unique personality and needs.
“Ryan was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! He stayed in our home and took such amazing care of them. It was obvious from the beginning that he genuinely loved them and treated them like his own. They were happy, comfortable, and so well cared for when we got home. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Ryan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their pets. We will definitely be using him again!”
“Robert was absolutely amazing! Sophia loved her time with him. He was very responsive. Provided updates and photos. Great communication before an and after home visit. Very professional and respectful!! Definitely will use him again! Highly recommend.”

About: I grew up around animals and worked as a vet tech for 6 years. I know every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, medication, special feeding instructions, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m comfortable providing personalized care. My veterinary experience also allows me to recognize changes in behavior or health and communicate concerns appropriately. Most importantly, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. Since I’m currently not working, I have a flexible schedule and am available to care for pets during both the week and weekends. I can provide consistent daily care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping their routines on track. I’m also available for additional needs, such as pet sitting and spending extra time with them throughout the day. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and their usual daily routine. I provide plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and fresh water while keeping their space clean and tidy. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I’m happy to adjust my care to help them feel comfortable and at ease.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is simple.. I’ll love and care for your fur babies as if they were my very own! 🐾 I’m a proud dog mom to my little Cavapoo, Zori, and if there’s one thing about me, it’s that my baby is SPOILED! LOL. From homemade meals and brushing her teeth to endless cuddles, attention, and affection, I truly treat her like my own child. And I wouldn’t give your pets anything less! I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands, because I’m the exact same way with Zori. That’s why I make it my priority to make every pet feel just as loved, safe, comfortable, and cared for as they would in their own home. With my background in caregiving and a lifetime of growing up around cats and dogs, being nurturing comes naturally to me. Whether your pet needs extra patience, lots of playtime, a little reassurance, or just someone to cuddle up with, I’m your girl! To me, your pets aren’t just animals I’m watching. They’re someone’s babies, just like Zori is mine. And while they’re in my care, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I have a pretty flexible schedule! 🐾💕 I’ll be starting school soon, but classes will only take up about 3–4 hours of my day, leaving plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m also in the Army National Guard, so I have drill one weekend a month. Aside from that, I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and give them lots of love and attention! I provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home, where your fur babies feel most comfortable and safe! I do my best to maintain their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles! I treat every pet as if they were my own, while respecting their individual needs and boundaries. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your babies are in loving hands!
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child, so I’m comfortable dealing with puppies and older dogs. I am also familiar with crate training, caring for female dogs in heat, potty training, and feeding schedules. Love to hike and go on walks with furry friends! Disclaimer: I am allergic to cats so I cannot house sit your dog if cats are present. I don’t work during the summers, so my availability is very open! I can watch your furry friends while you are working and/or take them on walks to get them out of the house! I have a partially fenced in yard and a dog of my own to play with your pet(s) if wanted. I am available for boarding at my house or your home. Let’s figure out what works best for your loved fur baby!
“Excellent experience with great feedback during her stay Jill took great care of our cats and gave them their medicine kept us up to date with pictures and left the house as she found it. Will definitely use Jill again!”
“Ashley was amazing our dog bonded with her immediately and she went the extra mile to do a meet and greet prior and arrived on time and stayed until we got home even though we were delayed. She gave our dog daily medication and sent many photo updates throughout the stay. She was super tidy and we will be a repeat customer for sure and loved having our dog in such capable hands.”
“We were so grateful for the care Danielle provided for our French Bulldog during our 7-day vacation. She went above and beyond, keeping us updated daily with videos, pictures, and texts, which made us feel completely at ease. Danielle even surprised our pup with a few new toys as a thoughtful gift! She was incredibly respectful of our home, always asking for permission when needed. We couldn't be happier with how comfortable and well-loved our pet was while we were away. We've already rebooked Danielle for future visits and are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our fur baby. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring pet sitter!”

About: Lifelong animal lover. Although I’ve never had a dog of my own growing up (thanks mom), I’ve always been the go-to person for pet sitting within my family and immediate circle—even amongst my mom’s clients who trust me for comfort & care for their fur babies. I’ve been around animals my whole life so I feel like I’ve done it all (yes… even eaten kibble once 🫣), and I’m comfortable with pets of any size or breed—every pet is welcome! And, I’ll even come with my own treats! 🤍 Recently started an unexpected new job! 💼🐾 So, my schedule has changed a bit, but I’m still here for your fur-babies! I’m currently available before 9:00 AM or after 5:00 PM Monday–Thursdays, Fridays after 6:00 PM, & 12 pm on Saturdays, with Sundays being completely open! I’m always happy to work around you & your pet’s routine to make sure they get all the love, care, and attention they deserve while you’re away! Currently, I’m not able to host pets in my apartment due to building rules 🤧 However I happily provide in-home sitting and drop-in care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and I treat your home and pet with the same care I would my own—just elevated to a five-star level. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Maurie was great with our dog Finn for a week. She gave many updates and stuck to his routine, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend Maurie for your needs and will book again in the future!”

“Catarah and Patrick were amazing!!!! They came for a "meet and Greet" and were very professional and had a list of things they needed to know in order to take the best care of Brie! While we were away they were putting up pictures of Brie as well as updates as to how things were going. They cleaned the whole house!!!!!! And washed the linens they used. They left a nice note as well as a little treat for me and my husband. We were thrilled with them! And so was Brie! I would highly recommend them!!”
About: What sets me apart is how easy and stress-free I make the whole process for both you and your pets. I bring a calm, low-maintenance energy to every stay, keeping life completely normal and comfortable for your animals while you're away. I’m super comfortable with pets of all ages and needs—whether that’s gentle care, mobility support, and strict medication schedules for a senior pet, or keeping a younger dog on their established potty and training routine. I treat your home with total respect and keep things running smoothly in the background. You won't have to worry about a thing while you're gone—I naturally handle basic house upkeep like bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, taking out the trash, and keeping the space clean and tidy. All I need to get started is Wi-Fi, clear written instructions, and a spot to park. I keep communication easy with light, fun daily check-ins and photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind! Pet sitting and house sitting are a primary focus in my routine, which allows me to be super flexible and present. Whether I'm staying overnight or doing visits, I structure my daily schedule directly around your pets' established eating, walking, and medication routines so their day feels completely normal and uninterrupted. I focus on house sitting and drop-in visits, caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest. I prioritize safety by sticking strictly to your home security rules, securing doors/gates, and following all feeding, walk, and leash instructions. I keep your space tidy, handle basic upkeep like mail and plants, and stay aware of your pet's body language to keep them happy and calm. You'll always get clear communication and daily photo updates so you know everything is running smoothly.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Benders Junction is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $44 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 796 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Benders Junction. 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 Benders Junction 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 Benders Junction 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 Benders Junction 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 Benders Junction. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
