“Jessica was wonderful with my Alfie! She took care of all his needs, kept him entertained and gave him a lot of love and cuddles. She sent plenty of pics and kept me posted every day about food, potty, and behavior. She is a very kind person and great dog sitter. I would love to have her sit with my little buddy again! 🐶”
“Debra was very accommodating with changes to the schedule and it shows how much she loves animals. My dog loved her and she made sure he was comfortable and safe while I was away!”
About: I have worked as a veterinary assistant for three years and I also work now with veterinary services for the army.I love all fur babies! I currently work full time Monday-Friday; 6am-5pm.So I’m just trying to make some extra cash on the side.I can always squeeze your fur baby in on weekdays!! I have a pet friendly apartment with a lot of open area and a nice dog park.I also have no pets at home so don’t worry about any incidents happening.You also don’t have to worry about your pet being too much for me.I have a specialty in dealing with the stubborn ones😂
About: I have had animals my entire life. Solely being responsible for the care of livestock for multiple years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, and fish. I have open availability everyday of the week including the weekends. I am flexible on times and can work with whatever best suits you and your pet. I abide by any instructions that I am provided. Dogs will be walked on a leash at all times to ensure their safety during the outing.
About: Animals have always been at the center of my life, as a child my mom and I showed dogs almost every weekend. With that came the responsibility of feeding, socializing, grooming, and cleaning up after furry friends. In those years I met many different breeds and learned so much about the needs and habits of dogs. In my adult years, I never lost that love, always having pets of my own and finding such joy in caring for them I decided to start looking into making a career out of what I love the most. This led to a job with Petco where my knowledge of animal care was extended beyond just dogs and cemented that working with animals was something I couldn't live without. I still help out at my local store with stocking and am in school for veterinary technology. In the past I have worked at a veterinary hospital giving comfort to animals who come to visit, drawing blood, assisting in appointments, walking dogs, general cleaning duties, and providing company to animals staying for extended periods of time. I am able to administer medication to animals during sitting if necessary and am also a huge fan of fetch/ tug and all the other fun doggie activities for our more active friends. Although my love for dogs is beyond measure, kitties are my weakness, no furry friends are excluded. Please reach out for any of your pet sitting or dog walking needs! I currently work full time but do have flexible scheduling. I am available for morning walks or drop ins between 8:30-11 on most weekdays. I am available on weekends for walking or sitting.Available on week nights . If needed I am flexible and can accommodate other days. I would never accept a job where I did not believe I could give your furbaby adequate time. I know how important routine is to animals and I will follow any instructions given to tee. I do not offer care in my home as my apartment does not allow but when I care for your animals they will be treated as if they are my own. There will be no lack of love or playtime and I will be sure the safety of your pet is my top priority while they are in my care.
“Stayed the weekend with our husky we’d struggled boarding last minute. Was amazing with our doggo & left our home & dog in better shape than we’re left. Would recommend & will be booking again”
“Maddi did a fantastic job! She communicated what was happening with the pets and ensured they all were safe and had a great time. We have one sassy girl who can be a bit of a handful and loves to create chaos but Maddi handled it all so well. Such a wonderful pet sitter!!”

“Aleigha was great with our nervous pup. Her calm presence helped Poppy decide Aleigha was a safe and okay person to hang out with while Mom and Dad were out. Thanks for loving on our pup on a rainy day!”

About: Caring for pets has been part of my life since childhood. Over the years, neighbors and friends have trusted me with their dogs for walks, feeding, bathing, and playtime. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and care I’m currently serving on active duty, but my schedule allows me consistent time in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to dedicate to pets. My routine is structured and dependable, so I can provide regular walks, playtime, and care without interruptions. I’m also available for overnight boarding on weekends and flexible check-ins during the week. responsibility and reliability are at the core of everything I do. I have a secure fenced yard and one small friendly dog who love company, which creates a safe and social environment for visiting pets. I follow any special instruction without any problem.
“Rachel was on time, communicated well, and left my house tidy. She sent me plenty of photo updates of my dog. I was completely comfortable leaving Buoy in her care. She was even flexible with me when I had to push her arrival time back twice. I would book with her again.”
“Ella came and met Xena & we knew instantly that she was going to be a great fit for us AND Xena! Within minutes, Xena was rolled over, belly up letting Ella love on her. We received daily updates with pictures and honestly felt so comfortable and relieved to have someone like Ella to watch our dog. Everything was just how it was when we left, with Xena happy as can be. :) We will definitely be using this young lady again - we cannot thank her enough for our peace of mind while away.”
“Ian always takes incredible care if our dog Myers. He is high energy and can definitely be a handful but we always come home to a happy healthy pup. He always takes good care of our home as well as sends update pictures which keeps the anxious dog mom mind at peace!”
About: Decades of Devotion. I started pet sitting in my early Childhood. I make sure every pet has lots of attention and care.

I currently have one small dog. And he doesn’t take up much property at all. He mostly loves to spend time inside under the covers.
“Mari did absolutely amazing job with my Bella. We were gone 13 days and I got constant updates and pictures. Bella was treated as Mari,s own baby. Bella had no issues or accidents. Our house was left spotless as well. I can't thank Mari enough for a marvelous job she did. I felt like a relative was staying with my Bella. Mari cares for animals as her own children. I highly recommend her services to all dog parents. 🐕”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Birchwood
Montana was extremely reliable and accommodating. Our babies were well taken care of while we were away, and I can’t stress enough how thankful I was for her willingness to continue care when we had an unexpected flight cancellation that caused us to return a day later than expected. I highly recommend her!!!
Megan was amazing with our dog Cerberus! We had her watch our GSD for 12 days and coordinating with her prior to coming over was a breeze, she was very accommodating and easy to work with. During her stay she was amazing with our dog, she sent us updates every day and when we returned he was in good spirits and not at all anxious (though perhaps a bit sad to see her go). A major winter storm hit while we were gone and she handled it great, going above and beyond making sure both our dog and home were okay until we got back. HIGHLY recommend Megan to anyone with anxious or particular dogs, she is great and your pet will be in good hands!
Sarah & Pat are the ultimate dynamic duo and nothing short of wonderful! I was terrified to leave after my kitten had to have emergency surgery just a few days before my trip, but they said “We got it!” and “got it” they did. They were very communicative & I came home to healthy, happy pets. Very thankful! Will book with them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Birchwood on Rover is $44.4 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 241 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Birchwood. 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 Birchwood 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 Birchwood 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 Birchwood 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.
