“Donnis makes traveling actually less anxiety filled. I’m so thankful she’s been able to watch our three fur babies while keeping an eye on the house. Absolutely so lucky we found her - our fur babies are happy and so are we!”
“I was skeptical to use Rover, but I had to make last-minute travel plans and my regular pet sitter was unavailable so I decided to give it a try. I was also afraid that nobody was going to want to take care of my eight dogs (mostly senior and special needs) and one cat. I contacted Amber and described all of my pets and their special needs, and she was up for the challenge. She even shared pictures and stories of her own babies to make me feel more at ease. Leaving six dogs over the age of 12, two special needs Frenchies (one deaf and one paralyzed), and one 17-year-old cat in the care of a stranger was very difficult for me to do. Upon meeting Amber, however, I was quickly put at ease. My animals immediately took to her and I could tell she was a kind, calm, gentle soul, which made leaving them easier. Amber handled all of my babies with extreme care and even read and followed my many, many pages of instructions. When she had questions, she texted or called me just like I asked. She took on the challenge of my paralyzed Frenchie like a pro - and it's not an easy job. She had to express her bladder every several hours, change her diaper, give her baths, carry her around, and give her lots of snuggles! She administered medications to my animals and gave them the various types of different food they eat. I came home to a happy, healthy crew of animals - and a new friend! I'm so happy I chose Amber and that she "chose" us. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again!”
“From the first meeting w/Daniel to my return home post-trip, it was a very smooth experience. I know watching four dogs at once can be a bit much, so was grateful to return home to find my fur family so happy. Dogs and house were left in great hands. Will definitely book again!”
“She is absolutely wonderful - we have a senior dog and she spent a week with him in our home (over the 4th of July fireworks holiday, no less!). He’s particular, and she had him the absolute healthiest and happiest we’ve ever seen him when we returned. She’s super communicative, and the most respectful houseguest we’ve ever received - truly a 10/10 experience, and my only fear with letting the world know about her is having to share her 🥹! Thank you, thank you!”
“Morgan took care of my 2 4 legged friends for 2 days. She was prompt and very communicative. I have one large dog and 1 small, very energetic, small dog that can keep anybody hopping. She handled them like a pro. Did a great job. She will be my first call any time I need someone to take of my best friends!! Strongly recommend her!!”
“Jody and Preston took very good care of our fur babies. As a first time Rover user, it was important to us to find someone who is good with Pibbles. Jody and Preston came over to our house prior to booking to ensure that everyone was a good fit. While watching our babies, Jody took care to send us pictures and keep us updated while we were gone. I would highly recommend booking with Jody and Preston!”
About: I love animals of all species- but dogs hold a special place in my heart! I have been dog-sitting for about 6.5 years now, and have enjoyed every furry visitor I've had. I just enjoy sharing space with them! I currently work from home, so I have the ability to give them all the attention they need and take them along for adventures (with permission). I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and making an amazing connection with you both! In seemingly stressful or chaotic situations I’m able to maintain my composure. I find that my demeanor makes dogs feel comfortable and relaxed upon meeting them, so in-home check ins will be smoother for your pet and I! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I look forward to providing excellent care for your beloved furry friend. I currently work from home, which allows a flexible schedule. I love having a dog over so I have more reason to take a walk. I have an open-space studio where they will be hanging out with me during the day. I always reach out to the client for a meet and greet to discuss their pet's behaviors and needs so I can adjust accordingly.
“Kira kept in touch throughout the process. She did an intro visit to meet the puppies. When we came come from vacation the babies were chill so we know Kira gave them everything they needed. No anxiety, no fuss. Would re-book Kira in a heartbeat”
“Aaliya was fantastic. For our initial meeting before the job, she came over and stayed and chatted with me for over an hour. I felt very comfortable around her (as did my pets), and I felt good about her staying in my home for the weekend. She was super punctual and communicative (lots of photo and video updates!), and she left my house at least as good as it was when I left, if not better. Without hesitation, I would book with Aaliya again!”
“Abigail did a fantastic job watching our critters! She was great about sending pics of Oban and Mabel, and she kept our house looking nice and clean. We would definitely have her house sit again and recommend her!”
“Jesse did an amazing job at caring for our lab. He let us know when she began having a health issue and proactively addressed it so it didn’t get out of hand. We felt confident that our pet and home would be well cared for during our vacation. Thank you Jesse!”
“Alexis was truly phenomenal, and I can’t recommend her enough! She went above and beyond every expectation we had. From the very beginning, her communication was outstanding. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages, adorable photos, and detailed check-ins that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was also an incredibly respectful house guest, leaving everything spotless and treating our home with such care. Most importantly, she absolutely spoiled Shadow! She made sure he had all of his favorite things, gave him so much love and attention, and kept him happy, comfortable, and entertained the entire time. It was so clear that she genuinely cared for him as if he were her own. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pup says everything. Alexis made the entire experience stress-free, and I am so grateful for the care she provided. We will absolutely be booking with her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family!”
“We Loved having Kimmie take care of our fur baby! What a peace of mind knowing someone was there tending to all her needs! We will use her again next time we need someone to watch our girl! Thank you!”
“We went out of town just after Christmas and needed a dog sitter. We were very pleased to come home to a happy, healthy pup, we had great communication the whole time and received a set of pictures and updates every evening. We will be using Maria Abigail‘s dog sitting service again!”
“Taryn was really sweet throughout the whole process and our two dogs seemed to respond well to her. Her photos of the dogs during her stay were endearing and showed that she formed a great relationship with them.”
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of our three dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos and messages, which meant a lot to us. She was friendly, professional, trustworthy, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were her own. It was obvious they were well cared for and getting lots of attention while we were gone. She even went above and beyond by keeping the floors vacuumed. We have a German Shepherd who is shedding quite a bit right now, and we came home to a house that wasn’t covered in dog hair, which was such a pleasant surprise. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using Rebecca again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Eric was a great dog and house sitter, he took care of everything as we discussed. He was on time and quick to respond with any questions we had. He even took care of the laundry for the sheets and towels he used! Highly recommend him!”
“This was our second time requesting Joanna's services to take care of our two dogs. She's always so kind and communicative. She made sure to send plenty of pictures and updates during her stay. She's also clearly a dog lover, as she takes such great care of our boys and they love her dearly. They're so comfortable around her. Our house was also in great shape when we got back. We couldn't ask for more & at this point she's really the only person we'd trust to take care of our dogs!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Between
This was my first experience hiring a pet sitter and I was going to away for over a week and had four pets being watched in my home. Well let me say that Donnis completely blew it outta the water!!! 20/10 best pet sitter!! I will never going to anyone else!! Donnis is extremely communicative and accommodating, especially when last minute I had an addition to the booking. Donnis checked in every single day with an update and pictures! She kept to their routine well and I know my fur babies felt comfortable and loved having Donnis here. My scaredy-cat even came out of hiding early on! Donnis is the absolute best! I’m so grateful this was such a wonderful first experience! 💐💐💐
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Between on Rover is $49.95 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 3,564 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Between. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
