“Daniel was great. Our fur babies were kept on their schedule and given lots of love. I also appreciated the pictures Daniel sent to show how they were doing. Would definitely ask Daniel to look after our dogs again.”
“She was so wonderful and great, especially dealing with our little rescue puppy who is not always the most friendly. The dogs were all happy and i received lots of photos of them all napping away…. if they were all napping then they were relaxed calm and good with her presence. She is super responsive and I will use her again.”
“Great communication and I could tell from what they were saying about Roger that he was well taken care of and they were truly spending time with him. Will definitely book them again!”
“Laura was phenomenal. It was a last minute booking and she went out of her way to make our life easy while I’m out of town and my husband having a changing work schedule. She was an extra hand that adapted to changes quickly which we both appreciated.”
“Jody was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our 4 dogs and cat with such care and attention to detail. She was reliable, communicated well, and made our first experience with Rover a breeze. We will definitely be booking her services again in the future. Highly recommend Jody for all your pet sitting needs! 5 stars all the way!”
“Donnis was absolutely amazing with our dog. She took excellent care of him. During rainstorms he gets very anxious. But Donnis got him thru it. She is Wonderful. I will use her again if available. And highly recommend her.”
“Madison was awesome. My senior dog absolutely loved her. She was so attentive, kind, and punctual. And she sent several great updates. I very much enjoyed working with her and will definitely book her again!”
“Preston did an absolutely outstanding job caring for our animals while we were away for a week. Our dog, who is both highly anxious and sometimes aggressive, completely warmed up to him - a true testament to Preston’s patience and skill. He not only gave our dog the care and attention he needed but also made sure our two cats, two mini horses, and donkey were all well cared for and happy. We came home to a tidy house, content animals, and total peace of mind knowing everything had been handled so well. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring pet sitter, Preston is the one!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving my dogs for a week was one of the hardest things because they truly are family to me, I joke that I treat them better than my children! From the moment we left, I knew they were in the best hands. Every single day, she sent detailed updates along with so many beautiful pictures that completely put my mind at ease. It was obvious from every photo and message that my dogs were not only being cared for but genuinely loved. She treated them as if they were her own, and that meant everything to us. Our home was well cared for, our dogs were happy, healthy, and relaxed when we returned, and we were able to truly enjoy our vacation because we never had to worry about them. She exceeded every expectation we had, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, communicative, and will love your pets like family, look no further. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for giving us complete peace of mind!”
“Taylor was great with our pups and left the house as she found it. She sent me pics of the pups and was easy to communicate with. Our vacation was unfortunately cut short because of a Hurricane and she helped me immensely with changing the reservation.”
“Kim is fantastic! She is very detail oriented, wonderful with our boy Jack, and an absolute delight! With Kim taking care of our home and our pup, we were able to enjoy our vacation!!!!”
“I was very nervous about going on vacation for five days leaving my animals, but I found Abigail on Rover and she was absolutely amazing. I’ve told my friends about her. She took very good care of my animals. I would definitely recommend her. She gave me detailed information and updates on my babies. Thank you Abigail. You are the best.”
About: I have taken care of horses my entire life and have pet sit for other family and friends. I have experience with all kinds of animals and even have some of my own! I am currently a daycare teacher during the week until 5:00 in the evening so nights are completely open for me on weekdays and I am wide open on weekends! I live in a house with an outdoor cat- there are dogs that live in the neighborhood but are fenced in. In my client’s home, it is my goal to keep everything organized and clean.
“Morgan was amazing with our pet family members! Her attention to detail and sending us pictures and videos of how well our dogs were adjusting in our absence gave us great peace of mind. I highly recommend Morgan’s expertise and pet sitting. We will be using her services again when needed in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for several years. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule, and can provide pet care during weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to work with your routine for walks, drop-ins, boarding, or overnight care. I do my best to be available when you and your pet need me most. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and routines. I also give regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while away.
“Lealy was an absolute pleasure to have in our home. She watched our 3 dogs and stayed at the house to watch over everything. I will not ever use anyone else. She has a permanent customer”
“Hana stayed with our dog Rudy for 5 nights while we traveled overseas. Rudy is a rescue and has trouble trusting new people, so Hana came over twice before the stay to hang out with him, which was wonderful. As expected, Rudy took about 24 hours to get used to her, and Hana was understanding and calm about the situation. She also emailed me regularly to keep me updated of progress. We came home to a happy dog and a very clean apartment- she went above and beyond and we couldn't have been happier. I'm actually booking her again for the summer. ”
About: I have a year of professional experience working at a busy dog daycare where I care for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve had pets my whole life and truly love being around animals. I currently work at a dog daycare, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting after work and on my days off. I’m used to handling dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities, and I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I currently work at a dog daycare, so I’m used to reading dog behavior and handling dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I always try to make pets feel comfortable by sticking to their normal routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just giving them attention while their owner is away. I’m also comfortable administering medications if needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Between
Our dogs seemed to be very happy and cared for while Sarah stayed with them. She provided photos and feedback throughout her stay, which were greatly appreciated. Our home was left in perfect condition as well. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to keep your fur babies.
Addison did a great job with our three dogs! She stayed at our house and took care of them for 6 nights. She made sure our older dog took his meds and took our younger dogs for walks daily to provide them with the exercise they're used to. She also left the house in good shape.

FAQs for House Sitting - Between
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Between on Rover is $49.95 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 3,545 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Between. 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 Between 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 Between 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 Between 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.
