“During our meet and greet with Kelsey, she blew us out of the water! I was so impressed with how she handled and interacted with our 3 dogs. We have a very grumpy old man who doesn't take to new people very well. Kelsey greeted them, loved on them and was not intimidated by Jake at all. Jake was friends with her by the end of our meet and greet. The two little ones took to her as well. In addition to Jake, Gemma was in heat and I was grateful Kelsey had experience with that and I didn't have to worry about messes while we were gone. We booked her that night. She stayed in our home with them while we were on vacation out of country. We also have chickens and I was grateful she was more than happy to tend to them as well. It was such a blessing to know that our home, fur babies and chickens were being watched and cared for. I received daily updates from her and countless pictures. I LOVED THAT!! Kelsey made sure the house was clean and tidied for when we arrived home, she even washed and folded all of Gemma's diapers. I can't rave enough about how amazing and perfect Kelsey was and is for our family. We have already booked with her for our summer trip and have a grooming appointment with her. Thanks a million times over Kelsey!! We can't wait to see you again!”
“This is our second time having Meretta take care of our dog while we are away. She is amazing! She is great at sending updates and pictures each day. She is so good with our dog and treats him as if he's her own. We Highly recommend her!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our dog! Sammy treated our fur baby with so much love, patience, and genuine care. From regular updates and photos to thoughtful little touches, you could tell she truly cares about the well-being and happiness of the pets she looks after. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and a spotless home. Highly recommend Sammy to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and kind.”
“Lexie was fantastic! From the moment she arrived, she was a beacon of support, providing frequent updates and delightful photos that truly put our minds at ease while we were away. Our dogs took to her immediately, visibly excited and comfortable in her presence. She was exceptionally communicative, always checking in and ensuring that she fully understood and addressed all our specific needs regarding their care. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved and secure.”
“Catie was a wonderful dog sitter! Our dog normally gets depressed when we travel and she'll not eat. It's been a game changer having Catie dog sit at the house. Our dog actually ate and was happy! She left a sweet note and took great care of not only the dog, but the house as well. Thanks Catie!! We'll definitely be rebooking.”
“Gayle did an excellent job with our dogs. They were well taken care of and she took care of our cat as well. We have a timid German Shepard that does not trust a lot of people, but she loved Gayle. We would use her again and again!! I would recommend Gayle to anyone!!!”
About: My husband and I have had dogs big and small growing up so we’re very familiar with their mannerisms, behavior and unique personalities. We’ve had our own dogs for four years and love them dearly, they’re our babies! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom so I am available and pretty flexible for the most part throughout the day. My dogs help me around the house as I get things done. I have a fenced in yard with two of my own dogs to keep yours company! Occasionally I let the dogs inside to hang out and eat, or depending on the weather to keep warm/cool. At bedtime I bring them in to sleep in their dog crate.
“Olivia did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs! She spent time with them, took them for daily walks, sent us updates with pictures, and was very reliable and responsive to texts. We highly recommend her and will be using her services again!!”

“Mark did a great job taking care of my pets. I felt safe leaving them with him. I especially liked receiving daily videos. It was reassuring to see my sensitive dog smiling. Mark also left left the house clean which I appreciated.”
“Shaylee was great! I’m always nervous leaving my dog at home for a long period of time. Shaylee took great care of my dog and gave me updates which made me feel better. I will be using her again in the future. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have grown up surrounded by animals! My family has always had cats or dogs in our house. This has taught me to care deeply for animals and provide the best care possible. For the past 4 years, I have regularly pet-sat for many families in my hometown and also spent a lot of time at the South Utah Valley Animal Shelter, where I take dogs for walks and treat them to special days outside the shelter. I truly love spending time with animals and would be so excited to care for your pets! I work and have classes during the day on Mondays and Wednesdays, but I am available in the evenings. Aside from those days, I have a very flexible schedule and am available to help care for your pets whenever you need! While I am unable to bring pets back to my apartment, I am happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home or take them on fun and safe day trips! I always want to give your pets my full attention and create a calm, loving environment where they feel comfortable and at ease. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and have plenty of fun while you are away!
About: I have taken care of all my friends and family's pets for as long as I can remember. I love dogs and cats! I have done month long stays at people's houses and I have also done the quick stop ins for potty breaks and feedings. I am currently not working so I have all the time to take care of your pets! I can do quick drop ins, long walks, overnight stays, whatever you need! I like to follow your pets routine. If they are used to morning walks and daily training I will happily do that! If they are more of a couch potato and like to snuggle, I will sit with them for as long as you'd like.
“Jonah was spectacular!! My Winston was very well cared for and loved on while I was gone. In addition, my house remained clean and Jonah even put the sheets in to wash and dry! He maintained the security of my home and was super respectful. Hoping to make him my "go to" sitter!”
“We booked Alaina for pet and house sitting for a few weeks. Alaina was super sweet to meet up a couple times before booking for introductions and instructions, which we appreciated! Our kitty seemed to be happy and healthy with her upon our return and I didn’t worry a lot while on vacation! Alaina communicated with us daily over text. Our apartment was left decently clean when we got back.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals with everything and I would love to help people out that want to travel or don’t have a lot of time to be home. I need an extra hand. I have also worked at a family owned pet store for three years. I have open availability throughout the week and the weekends so if you are going on a trip and need an extra hand, I am willing to help out I will always be their best friend!

“Incredibly impressed with Tyler! We’ve had many house/catsitters and Tyler clearly stands above them all. Everything from his communications, check-ins, level of care, attention to detail, cleanliness, organization, and how much he loves animals in unmatched! Don’t hesitate having Tyler help you!”
About: Neighbors, friends, and family always ask me to pet sit for them. I've stayed up to 2 weeks with pets! I'll watch dogs, cats, fish, and even birds! There's never been a job too difficult for me to handle. I currently work from 7am-3:30 pm Monday through Friday, but I have flexibility within those hours! Nights and weekends will be best for me to spend time with your pets. All of my pets I've owned have had boundaries that we maintained through training. I'm very comfortable with crate training and leash training. If there's a routine you want implemented, I'll follow it to the last detail.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Benjamin
Heather was a great help during her house sitting. I had a change in our plans since the doctor didn’t want me traveling ,so soon after surgery. I didn’t really need a house sitter,since I wasn’t going to be leaving the house. But I decided to have her house sit regardless. . Heather stayed with Gizzy , so I didn’t need to run after him. She was very accommodating. Gizzy is still missing his long walks and belly rubs with Heather. Thank you Heather!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Benjamin on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 940 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Benjamin. 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 Benjamin 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 Benjamin 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 Benjamin 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.
