“We had an amazing experience with Dakota. She responded to us immediately and took excellent care of our newly adopted dog while we were away for the day. We received updates and photo during the day which gave us peace of mind. We would not hesitate to book with Dakota again and highly recommend her as a trustworthy, caring and reliable sitter.”
“We were extremely happy with Kelly's care of our dogs, Tanner and Salem, while we were away! She was there at the right times to let them out, feed them, followed our instructions for Tanner’s meds, and kept us updated with photos and messages. Tanner and Salem seemed very comfortable with her. We will definitely be using Kelly again in the future as she seemed to really enjoy caring and playing with them.”
“Kelly was an amazing sitter! She stayed at our house and gave our pups all the love and snuggles. She kept us updated with messages and cute pictures. It’s great to know our dogs were in good hands!”
“Cannot recommend Pamela enough!! As always, I felt at ease while I was gone knowing my dog was with her. She was also so flexible while I was dealing with flight changes and delays, it really helped being one less thing to worry about!”
“Jordan was exceptional! She checked in with us regularly sending pictures of she and Lucca. She took excellent care of our house and Lucca was very healthy and happy when we returned. We look forward to having Jordan care for Lucca again.”
“We felt so at ease with Damien. They sent thoughtful updates throughout the day without us even needing to ask, which made traveling so much easier. Our pets were clearly well cared for and happy. We couldn't be more grateful. We definitely recommend and will book again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Serena! She treated my pet like her own—so attentive, patient, and caring. I got regular updates that really put me at ease, and I could tell my dogs and cats were happy and comfortable the whole time. It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Connie provided excellent care for our two dogs and two cats while housesitting. She sent daily updates and photos and everyone always looked so happy and content. She went above and beyond to tidy up and provide plenty of exercise for our two pups. She is professional, communicative, and a true animal whisperer!”
“Zana was wonderful. She communicated with me throughout with ease. She sent photos and was an excellent sitter with my pup and kitties. Highly recommend.”
“Kaylee was an absolute BLESSING! Our dog is a rescue and a little shy and nervous of new people, situations. She did AMAZING with him. We had several bad storms during her stay and she sat with him and snuggled him to soothe him throughout. She was in tune to his emotions and absolutely put him first in every situation without hesitation! He was a very happy boy and we could NOT have asked for a better experience! She also took very good care of the house and communicated with pics and videos every day. She is THE BEST!!”
About: Myself and my family have had dogs and cats for decades, I come from a line of dog breeders and have lost track the number of dogs I have trained and taken care of. I cannot board for longer than 12 days at a time. I work IT and can WFH when required. My cats go between my X and I so when they’re not around I can give them plenty of attention. I can’t board for longer than 12 days I’m very loving and active. I will spoil them rotten and give them plenty of attention should they need it. My cats get along great with other cats and dogs if you’d like them to have some company.
About: Taking care of animals is the best thing in the world. I have worked on farms for several years with equine, dogs and cats. I'm a cat mom, but walking and taking care of dogs has been the best job ever. I've walked all types of dogs from the smallest to the biggest, from puppy pit bull to old lady poodle and everything in between 🥰 For me animals are everything! Pet care is my main daily focus. I have an open schedule and very flexible hours and availability. Don't hesitate to reach out. I am confident we can make it happen. I offer walking and taking care of pets in the client's home. What exactly I'll help you with depends on what your pets need. Need someone to come and go, or someone to stay all day, or overnight (Friday through Sunday)? Do your pets need meds? Do they love lots of cuddles? 🥰 Whatever it is, I'm there for it! Because it's all about the animals!
“Kelly was great! We used her for over night stays and our pups couldn’t have been happier to have her. Our house was just as clean as we left it. We will be using Kelly again.”
“We left our lab at home with Sydney for a out of town wedding we were gone from Thursday - Sunday Sydney was Awesome with our Gilbert & spent so much time with him we appreciate her help so much and couldn’t be more grateful!”
“Gabrielle has watched our pups twice now in our home. We have come home to happy pups and a clean house! Our dogs are older and can be a little quirky and Gabrielle has been more than willing to give them the love and attention they need!”
“This was my first time having Cassie watch our two girls and home for a week and it was a great experience. She cared for them like they were her own. When we got home they were happy and healthy. She gave timely updates and even got my picky eater to finish her meals. Even my pond fish looked happy! I would definitely book with Cassie again.”
“Julia was great and very professional. Both of our GSD’s took to her immediately. She continuously sends updates which was very reassuring. I am grateful that we found her. We can now take more vacations and know that they will be in safe hands.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats in home settings. I’ve watched dogs for multiple days, including both weekdays and weekends, handling feeding, walks, and maintaining their normal routine. Occasionally watched over more than one dog at a time. I also have experience with watching cats and ensuring they are taken care of multiple days at a time. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine. Since I work full-time during the day, I’m best suited for pets that are comfortable being alone during work hours and thrive with consistent morning, evening, and overnight care. My goal is to keep your pets safe, relaxed, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I work full-time during the day, so I focus on providing reliable morning, evening, and overnight care. My mornings and evenings are structured and consistent, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and attention. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can spend additional time with your pets while maintaining their schedule. I keep my calendar organized and only take on a limited number of clients to ensure each pet receives dependable, consistent care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and care instructions carefully to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide morning and evening care, along with overnight presence when booked for house sitting. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean while you’re away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Benson is $50

She took such great care of my dog while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well loved. I came home to a happy pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Miko!
We are very pleased with the care Alexis gave our dog and our home. We were away for two weeks and during that time she communicated with us several times (which we managed with a 6 hour time difference!) including photos of our dog. She followed our directions to a T regarding our pet and our house. We returned to a tidy home and happy dog. Knowing he was comfortable, cared for, and stress free in our home added that extra bit of ease to our vacation. We highly recommend Alexis for petsitting and hope to hire her again in the future.
Lindsay was amazing! She not only took care of our dogs and cat but we came home to a clean house and well-behaved dogs. She left us with written out tips and tricks to help with training the dogs. We will definitely use her again and are so grateful that the pets were in such great hands.

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 Benson 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 Benson 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Benson 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.
