“Aunya was fantastic. She made sure all four dogs were well taken care and even cleaned up as she left the house. She was very responsive and provided check-ins. I would definitely let her take care of my wild pack any time!”
“Malia has been fantastic with our nervous shepherd, Selkie. I am very cautious about who I leave her with and Malia handled her fabulously, made sure she had the best time and keep us updated with photos the whole time we were away. It was super reassuring and so happy she could take care of her both times we have been away. Highly recommend and will 100% be calling upon her to pet sit for us in the future!”
“Highly recommend Kristen! She took great care of my dog ❤️ and my house. She did a great job providing updates, pictures, and videos. She made sure he had plenty of time outside and gave him lots of love.”
“Michele was a great dog sitter. She kept me informed with how my senior dogs were doing. I appreciated the photos she sent of them. My house was cleaner when I got home than when I left. She also took care of my many flowers. 💝”
“Andrea came through on short notice and handled both our quirky greyhound and our blind senior dog with real care and responsibility, which is not always easy. She was sweet and gentle with them and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. I think our greyhound might have even fallen in love with her, as he was more attached than any sitter we've had in the past, so she must have a special charm with animals. The house was in great shape, too. I’d gladly rebook her again”
“Sarah B. is simply AMAZING, Awesome, Extraordinary! Our four-year old poodle, Braxton has never been kenneled or left alone while we were away even a few days at a time. We recently traveled for over a week, and all of our extended family support was going with us! So, we contacted Sarah through Rover and all of our anxiety and concern evaporated at our first meet. Braxton climbed in her arms and cuddled like meeting an old friend. We were immediately set at ease and comfortable that we could turn our house and fur baby over for her protection. She is organized, smart, and most importantly, caring and comforting to dog and human alike. She kept us posted with lots of photos of walks, naps, play time with the hose, and cuddling on the couch. Communication from Europe was seamless, and every time we checked in, she was there to make us rest easy. We feel like we added a new member to our extended family, and you can be sure that we will hire her ANYTIME we need to leave home - even if only for a day. She could easily double her daily fee and would still be under paid for the value she brings. Peace of mind for your loved one while away is worth more than money! THANK YOU, SARAH - We love you wholeheartedly!”
“I cannot recommend Jennifer enough! She took amazing care of our three dogs while we were away for a week long trip. She sent pics and updates throughout everyday, took them on daily walks, played outside and spent so much time just hanging with them so they’d feel loved while we were gone. We also came home to a clean house and watered plants 🙌🏼🙌🏼 She’s so great!!”
“Nolan was wonderful! She made sure my dogs had exercise before the heat set in and was truthworthy with access to the home without someone being there. Truly appreciate her and will hire her again!”
“Our two pups were in great hands with Kai again during our trip out of town. She is very caring and knows each of our boys differences in personality. Having Kai house sit with our doggies makes our trips worry free as they trust her to take care of them.”
“Savannah is absolutely fantastic! My 4 month old Schnauzer “Cosmosis” is an extrovert and loves everyone, but he ABSOLUTELY adored Savannah. She is a genuine good soul - and he LOVED her to pieces. I have never seen him act that way so quickly before. We will absolutely use her again. Very trustworthy.”
“Ella did amazing! We have two senior dogs who take medication twice a day and four cats (one of which takes meds). We even have the dogs on a limited ingredient homemade food and she did awesome! She called and would ask questions, followed our instructions left and seemed to really enjoy her time with our fur babies. I highly recommend!”
“Lauren was super responsive to special needs/requests for our petsitting situation. We came home to a clean & tidy house and happy & healthy pets. I was concerned from the videos I received of my cat enjoying Lauren’s company that she might have decided to go home with Lauren!”
“Ashlyn was SO amazing to work with! It was my first time working with Rover and she helped explain the process and make me feel comfortable. The dogs absolutely love her and she was fantastic at communicating and sending pictures along the way. Thank you so much Ashlyn, I’ll definitely be rebooking in the future!”
About: Hi, I'm Paislee! 🐾 I've been caring for animals for over 4 years and truly love getting to know each pet's unique personality. I have hands-on experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, alpacas, donkeys, and more. I've worked as a kennel technician and dog groomer, where I cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm dependable, patient, and committed to providing updates and photos throughout your pet's stay or visit so you can have peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! This is my only job currently so I will have plenty of time to play with your fur babies and make sure they are well taken care of! I am available Monday-Saturday! I will always make sure your baby has food and water and plenty of play time. I will send updates and pictures to ensure you see your baby is well taken care of!
“Allison is awesome! This was our first time using Rover, and from start to finish, it was a great experience, in no small part, due to her patience and kindness. She is very responsive, and communicated early and often - before, during and after her stay. She was wonderful with our two pups, and they were happy and content when we got home from our trip. Highly recommend!”
“Angelica was great with our pups and our home. Excellent messages/updates/pictures. Walks were good exercise, not just a quick walk for them to pee. We’re looking forward to having her back.”
“Alyce took good care of my 2 poodles. She gave them their meds and kept the cone on one of my poodles due to a broken nail. She keep clean throws on couch and sent photos and updates daily. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Bobby did a great job watching our two dogs! He was a great communicator, very responsible, and sent updates and pictures of the pups every time he came to let them out or feed them. He was great with our large dogs, and you can tell the dogs loved him too! We have never felt so comfortable leaving the dogs with anyone- Knowing Bobby was taking such great care of them made us feel so at ease when we were away. We are so glad we found Bobby, and will definitely be using him whenever we need a dog sitter in the future. Highly recommend!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Big Cove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Big Cove on Rover is $54.39 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 366 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Big Cove. 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 Big Cove 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 Big Cove 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 Big Cove 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.
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.
