“Brooke is responsive and nice! She did a great job taking care of our girl, Sadie Mae. my only feedback to her would be to send more updates with pictures too! 5 star service besides that, thanks Brooke.”
“When I met Kaitlin at the meet and greet I knew that I could trust her with my dogs in my home. She listened to the dogs needs and was there for them. She stayed late on the 4th of July as one of my two dogs is so afraid of fireworks. Kaitlin can follow medication needs. Sent pictures of the dogs at play and one of the dogs, the shy one, with her, by her side. I’ve scheduled Kaitlin for another long weeks.”
“We had the BEST experience with Loren watching our dogs! She watched our two golden retrievers and even brought her own golden over during the day so they could all play together. Our boys loved it! She kept us updated, took great care of everyone, and treated our house like it was her own. She sent lots of cute pictures too. Highly recommend Loren and will definitely use her again in the future🤩”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both large and small breeds. Growing up, my dad bred dogs and my grandpa has always owned dogs, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Through the years, I’ve gained experience feeding, walking, playing with, bathing, and providing daily care for dogs with a variety of personalities and energy levels. I currently have two dogs of my own—a male German Shorthaired Pointer and a female Miniature Dachshund—which has given me firsthand experience caring for both high-energy working breeds and smaller companion dogs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing with plenty of attention, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and affection that I give my own. I have availability Monday-Friday 7am to 5pm. I don’t currently have any other responsibility’s other than my 4 year old daughter, who goes to daycare during the day during the week. I do not have a fenced in yard but any pups will be taken out with a leash. I have 2 friendly pups and my mom’s also got 2 sweet babies who love playing with other doggies!! I have no issue working with crate training or potty training requirements.
“We’re very happy with the care Thor received! Jeremy did a great job looking after him—very attentive, responsible, and caring. He was also an excellent communicator, keeping us updated throughout his time with him. Thor seemed happy and well taken care of the whole time. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m a newly Certified Vet assistant who deeply loves caring for pets! I’m also certified in Diet and Nutrition as well as Pet CPR. Taking care of animals has always been my biggest passion! I’m currently working part time so this leaves room to be attentive and in the moment while caring for your pets while still leaving room for certain all day/ over night needs as well as just drop ins. I have two friendly female medium/ large dogs. We have a fenced in back yard with lots of space to play. We would love to have your pet over!
About: I previously worked as an animal care technician at a nonprofit animal shelter, I also own a 4 year old Great Pyrenees as well as a 2 year old mini Aussie. I grew up with farm animals and household pets so I am very use to the nitty gritty that comes with caring for our loved ones. I am a disabled army veteran that’s not currently working so I have all the time in the world for your beloved pets, I am here for you! In my home my dogs get taken out twice a day fed once in the evening and are out roaming all day. But I am flexible to your pets schedule/needs!
“Ruth did a great job taking care of Cooper! She sent lots of pictures and videos. She left everything neat and clean and even folded my laundry! We look forward to having her again!!”
“So incredibly thankful for Erica’s services. I felt so reassured and comfortable leaving my animals in her care. She provided updates and pictures and was reliable with everything we needed. She set the golden standard of care for us. Will be booking again, if needed. Thank you Erica!”
“Chelsea was wonderful! She was so communicative and sent lots of photos. Gus was clearly well taken care of. Chelsea was able to be there most of the day, which was wonderful, and she was great at communicating with the sitter we had before her to work out the details. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Maylan took amazing care of our babies while we were out of town. She took time to get to know them at a meet and greet before booking, she asked questions, she showed interest in making sure they were well taken care of. She sent photos daily with check ins during the day. She is so kind and thoughtful. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her, and I will definitely work with her again. Our pets loved her!”
“Daniel did a great job with our two boys. We have one who requires a lot of work because he is anxious, and the worst he did was eat a couple of paper napkins, which is a minor miracle. We really appreciated Daniel's dedication to them, and we would definitely hire him again.”
“Mary is wonderful! We knew from the meet and greet that our boys were going to be well loved and looked after. I can’t say enough amazing things about her! Our Puppy is tuckered out from all the love he received under her care and our home was well taken care of as well. We will definitely be asking for her help again and again! Thank you Mary!”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful! She sent updates with adorable photos. She was on time and very flexible with our pets needs/behaviors. We will definitely be reaching out to her for services requests again.”
About: I've had multiple dogs throughout growing up and have pets it a few times with my older sister when I was younger, I've helped take care of newborn puppies till mature and taken cars of my childhood dog Charlie since I was around 10 years old till currently at 20! I know how to bathe them if needed and love to cuddle with them if they want to! I'm currently working part time majority of the week but small shifts so evenings and early mornings are primarily available, but I also am working a flexible job that I adjust around and switch times to make it suitable for you and me! If I was in your home taking care of your animals, I would feed them your specified diet in whatever time blocks needed, along with water. I'd take them outside to go the bathroom and walks around the premises to get some energy out, if any potty incidents were to happen I would throughly clean it up and dispose properly, and make sure to give them plenty of attention, treats, and cuddles!
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I can remember and have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and even tiny bottle fed kittens. I’m comfortable with multi pet homes, routines, and pets with plenty of personality, I’ve truly seen it all. My goal is to make your animals feel safe and take some stress of your plate! My furry qualifications: The ones who live with me Babygirl- Long Haired Tortie with lots of attitude and a bottomless pit Nugget- Golden Retriever with attachment issues and so much energy Mango- Green Cheek Conure, he is a bird so not so much furry as he is feathery but also very sassy and plenty of personality I work Friday through Sunday mornings, but my mostly online school schedule gives me flexibility throughout the rest of the week. My availability may occasionally change as I explore other career opportunities, but I’ll keep my calendar updated, communicate clearly, and always make sure I’m a good fit for your pet’s routine before accepting a booking I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing

I have worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for over 2 years where I supervised playgroups including pooltime, cared for boarding pets, bathed dogs, blow dried coats, and trimmed nails. I currently work as a veterinary assistant where I help with treatments, medications, vaccines, blood draws, dental cleanings, X-rays, IV fluids, anesthesia monitoring, recovery care, and more. I am currently in school to become a veterinarian and have a strong passion for animal care. I am experienced with pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I treat every pet like my own and always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I am a responsible and dependable college student with a flexible schedule. During the school year, I attend classes in person and carefully plan my time to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and exercise. In the summer, I take classes online from home, allowing me to be available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I understand the importance of trust when caring for a pet, and I am committed to providing reliable, attentive, and loving care while keeping owners updated and informed. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I make sure pets always have fresh water, supervision, exercise, and plenty of affection.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Benson on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,889 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Benson. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
