“Laralyn was super sweet, extremely responsive & an amazing sitter for our Coco!! We really appreciated her kind & professional nature, her communication & the photos she sent us of our fur baby while we were away. Laralyn took such great care of Coco - gave her lots of cuddles and snuggles. She left our house spotless & left us with peace of mind, knowing our house and puppy were in wonderful hands. We won’t hesitate to book with Laralyn again, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!! ☺️💗🐶”
About: I have been a dog sitter since I was 13 years old, I love to be outside getting active with any kind of animal. Will have/ or bring treats, toys, and fun energy Everytime I spend time with your companion 😊 I am a full-time dog sitter, dog walker. I am available early mornings and late nights for any type of dog care you may need. I have a fenced yard and two other animals to keep your dog company. I also have the ability to crate an animal if needed. I am very friendly, affectionate and all the time to spend with your animals.
About: Having grown up with pets, I have a lifelong passion for animal care. From a young age, my siblings and I took on the responsibility of feeding, bathing, walking, playing with, and cleaning up after our pets. This experience taught me the importance of attentive and loving care. Additionally, my neighbors entrusted me with their beloved pets when they’ve gone on vacation. I’ve experience with rabbits, have one currently named Ms Bunny, she is eight. I had a guinea pig, named Master Splinter that lived to be 6. Kept and maintained a fish tank in my mid to late 20’s, contained lots of neon tetra, ghost shrimp, and a dwarf gourami! I have full availability to ensure loving care for your pets! My love for animals motivates me to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Rest assured, your furry friends will be well cared for under my watch. I am happy to care for your pets in their home where they are most comfortable. I love going for walks, playing with toys, and/or lounging around when it’s quiet.
About: I usually stick to my long-term clients but just recently chose to sign up on Rover. I’ve taken care of and watched dogs my whole life. Growing up around multiple sized animals helped me with being comfortable around all sorts of sizes and breeds. As well as cats. Feel free to check out my Facebook: Abrielle Sara Harrell If it’s a flexible schedule around my summer hourly job then it’ll be perfect. I can visit dogs in the morning, during break if possible, and during late evenings and even stay with them if needed. I give the pets play time and rest time. Keep them on an easy schedule based on what they’re up for. I can walk them and play with them. I’m also fine leaving them alone if that’s what they want.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs. Either it being within the family or friends. I have experience with all sizes and ages. I have no concern adapting to your dogs unique needs. I work partly remote through the week. Allowing for pee breaks throughout the day. I have weekends open most of the time. It will be no problem to provide a comfortable stay for your pup. I have a fenced yard and safe house in a great neighborhood. I currently have one medium dog full time and my girlfriend has two small dogs here part time.
“Rebecca is a wonderful pet sitter! She provided the best care to our fur babies. They can be a little skittish with strangers but she won them over quickly. I was so happy to see the photos of happy and calm pups! It helped us enjoy our time away.”
“Amie was very professional, kind and helpful! Our pets were lovingly cared for, and our little dog Oscar was relaxed and content when we arrived home from our vacation. Amie took care of our home like it was her own, and she was excellent at communicating while we were out of town. We felt very pampered by her expertise and care for our pets and our home!”
About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old. Growing up on a farm, I learned to take care of animals from a very young age. Additionally, I spent a lot of my high school years pet sitting for neighbors, family friends, and friends of friends! I have had many dogs of many different breeds and ages. I tend to be an active person, so walking and playing with my pets to ensure their exercise is something I prioritize. I’m very good at adapting to pets different personalities and making them as comfortable as possible. I work 5 days a week but on a hybrid schedule- 3 days in office, 2 days working from home. My hours are 9-3, so I have plenty of time during the week to love on your pet! Additionally, my weekends are free. Though I do not have any pets currently, I have an apartment with plenty of room, outside space, and live directly across from a huge, gated dog park— which is friendly to all sizes of dogs. Additionally, I live right next to tons of walking trails, perfect for those pets who love their walks! If your pup is needing to be crated, I can easily make that happen, as well as anything else your pet needs!
“Morgan stayed at my house & cared for my very demanding (spoiled) Cavalier KCS, betta fish & chameleon. I returned to a very clean, neat home & happy pets. I would recommend Morgan!”
“Sam was wonderful with our dogs! She was able to build a positive relationship with our fearful pup and keep both engaged. Sam sent lots of pictures and video. I felt so relieved to know that my boys were comfortable in their own home and in good hands. Sam was respectful of our home and preferences. We'll definitely hire Sam again for our next trip!”
“Alex was phenomenal! He took great care of all the pets, communicated with us regularly and gave great updates every day! He left our home looking better than when we left, amazing attention to detail. Highly recommended!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Benton Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 179 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Benton Heights. 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 Benton Heights 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 Benton Heights 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 Benton Heights 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.
