“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!”
“I have never felt so comfortable leaving my fur babies behind. Dakota made sure that they were well cared for and comfortable. She kept me updated and worked hard to make the transition as easy as possible. Highly recommend!”
“Sianna was amazing. Our dogs loved her! She was punctual, kind, and kept us updated through her stay. She cuddled the dogs through the thunderstorm and did a great job administering eye medication and keeping the dogs separate during feeding time. She followed the noted instructions perfectly and we will definitely continue to call her!”
“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!”
“5 stars!!! Peyton babysat and house sitted for our Irish Wolfhound puppy, our 2 old mini schnauzers and our cat. We will absolutely use her again. If you want someone to house sit and take excellent care of your babies, this is your lady. Thank you so much Peyton!!! -Owen and Jaimie-”
“Zana was awesome! Our dogsitter caught Covid a few days before our weeklong vacation, so we really appreciated that Zana was available last-minute, did a meet and greet, and took great care of our senior pup and energetic 3-year old pup. She sent us lots of pictures so we wouldn't miss them so much. We highly recommend and would book Zana again!”
“Jeff really went above and beyond this visit. First off, my cat was not doing well and needed a same-day vet appointment. Jeff took him to the vet and ended up needing to be there for a couple of hours. He called me to tell me about the appointment, plus gave my cat needed meds, and even went to the store to buy cans of tuna for him to eat! He is really caring and concerned. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. We had a Great Dane-Mastiff growing up for 13 years and now I hang out with my Rottweiler, Nova, all day. I also have a pair of sister cats named Snickers and Doodle! I’m well-versed in giving them medicine, going for walks, and giving pets all the love they deserve. I just graduated from the University of Maryland and I work from home - my job is very flexible so I’m around whenever you need extra hands during the day or the evening! I have more availability on the weekdays than the weekends, but with enough notice, I can make anything work! I am very respectful and would treat your home just like my own. I strive to make your pets routine as normal as possible as I know being away from their beloved parents can be stressful.
“Kathleen did a wonderful job taking care of our animals (3 dogs) and did some extra cleanup for us. She sent us pics and took some extra time to not only watch after the guinea pigs, hamster and mouse, but even cleaned out their stinky cages. It was obvious that the dogs were comfortable with her. Thanks Kathleen. We appreciate all you did for us.”
“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!”
“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 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.”
“Julia did a fantastic job watching our dog while we went out of town! She was very responsive and took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. We can be apprehensive about leaving our dog home, but Julia allowed us to rest easy and enjoy our vacation because of the care and attention she gave each day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted professional to watch their pet, and she will be our go-to resource for our dog moving forward.”
“Jacqueline was great. She took great care of our two labs. She kept us informed with texts and pictures. We had several modifications due to my wife's hospital stay, and we were able to work through them. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve grown up around and been taking care of dogs since I was born! I love all dogs, especially goldens and bully breeds. I have experience cat sitting for family friends as well, and would be happy to provide your babies with the best care I’m currently working a part time job at a concert venue, so I have plenty of day time availability to take care of your pets. I typically have 1-3 shifts a week and a flexible schedule! I’m experienced with dogs from puppies to seniors. I can administer medications or just provide overall attention and play time. I’m a great communicator and attentive to detail, and strive to make sure your animals are receiving the best care they need. I’m also just a huge animal person excited to give your babies some love while you’re away.
“Crissy was absolutely fantastic! I got pictures and updates on my pup, daily. She took such great care of our girl and my flowers look better than when I am home! My dog is anxious one and she loved Crissy. We will definitely be using her again.”
“She is such an amazing caretaker for our many, many animals and is an even more wonderful person! It's obvious she truly cares about animals and is very knowledgeable about and invested in their wellbeing. Plus she does regular check ins throughout the day to make sure we stayed updated on how they were doing compete with pictures!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Benson
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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ David did a wonderful job caring for our dogs and our home! From the start, he was kind, warm, and attentive, which instantly put us at ease. He took great care of our pups, giving them plenty of love and attention, and he kept us updated with lots of pictures so we never had to worry. It was clear how much he genuinely cared about them. We came home to happy dogs and a well-cared-for house. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend David to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Benson on Rover is $44.4 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 2,651 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Benson. 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 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.
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 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 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.
