“Meghan has been my dog walker and recently house sat for me while I was away. She is wonderful with my dog and left my place clean & tidy. I know I can trust her and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Ryana and Safiyyah were absolutely wonderful during their stay with my pups. H and B fell in love at the meet and greet and the love fest continued through the stay at my home while I traveled. My youngest dog requires specific drug administering as well as a frequent feeding schedule and all requests were followed precisely. I highly recommend Ryana and Safiyyah and I plan for them to return as well!”
“Kelly was wonderful! She was so communicative with us, sending updates and photos, and left everything tidy when upon her departure. We felt very comfortable leaving Moose with Kelly.”
“Trey (kaka Mary) did a fantastic job with our sweet older boy! They were conscientious about following instructions. Dex was enamored with her the minute he met her (which is unusual as he’s usually a bit anxious around new people). Trey sent lots of pics and updates and it was so comforting to see our boy so relaxed and obviously enjoying himself! We returned to a spotless house and a happy boy. We will definitely use them again!”
“Joelle was wonderful! Most importantly Carly loved her. She’s great with humans too. She was prompt, regular updates with photos, handled medications and walks whatever asked. Thank you Joelle!”
“Claire was great! We were very grateful she was able to accommodate a last minute need for a dog sitter. Claire provided updates and photos which were much appreciated. She took great care of Ava and we will definitely request her services again”
“Marlena was fantastic...she took great care of my older dog and made sure he was happy while I was out of town. She sent lots of update pictures throughout the day and was quick to respond to any questions, updates, etc.”
“Victoria was awesome!! She house sat and watched our 2 little sr dogs, and the whole time was so communicative and caring! She sent lots of pics & updates so we had peace of mind our whole trip. The pups were so happy and well looked after. We have already rebooked!”
“Hayli is AMAZING! She provided me updates throughout the day, each day. She asked questions when she needed to, as well. I feel 100% at ease when I’m on holiday when she watches my old beagle mutt dog. Thanks, Hayli!”
“Anne was the perfect dog sitter. She arrived on time, my two dogs loved her, she sent sweet pictures and updates throughout the weekend and she left the house very neat. What more is there to say? I highly recommend Anne!!”
“Molly was a great dog sitter! We were lucky we found her on Rover! She was very flexible with schedule and with some complications on our end. We will definitely use her again to help take care of our pup!”
“Sydney was a great sitter for our senior dog. She was punctual, communicative and respectful of our space while she was here taking care of Ali. I would highly recommend and will gladly book her again in the future!”
“Justice communicated quickly and proactively with me, and I can recommend him based on his professionalism. But more importantly, my dog loved him, and it’s no surprise why: he obviously loves dogs!”
“Charisma was an amazing sitter. She sent photos and videos and kept me up to date. She was very attuned to the dogs’ needs and left my home better than she found it. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Caleb did such a wonderful job taking care of my pets while I was away. They took to him right away and it was clear with every picture and update that they both were incredibly well cared for and completely content. I will certainly have him top of my list next I’m needing to be away”

Rachael is probably one of the best sitters you are going to find in Rover. She is just a very thoughtful and thorough person. She went above and beyond in the quality of the care she provided and also in communication. She sent updates and pictures throughout the night. She followed the care plan very well and was proactive about requesting clarification if needed. She was also very receptive to feedback. I loved getting pictures of my puppy. She did a great job building trust with me and with my 5 month old GSD girl. She was very patient and caring. Her calming attitude allowed my puppy to feel comfortable around her. From what I gathered, my puppy actually listened to her; she normally tests boundaries with new people. I was impressed. I’ve only used her once and would love to book her again if availability aligns. She was very engaged with my puppy and did an excellent job trying to figure her out. If it was up to me, I would have her take care of my puppy consistently. She’s the best.
Victoria was great with our dogs again! She’s very communicative of all updates and she had her eye out for any signals of stress from the dogs (which we thought there may be some). She sends really cute photos and is very detailed with her messages. Even our little grumpy dog warmed up to her, photos had him looking lovingly right at Victoria! We will definitely book again, and recommend to anyone looking for dog or cat care!
Abby did a great job watching my elderly dog for almost 2 weeks. She administered daily meds perfectly, and with great care. She also spent lots of time with Mathilda, and made her so comfortable while I was away, sticking to her usual schedule and habits. Abby checked in when needed, but was quietly confident in her ability to take care of my girl. I would highly recommend Abby for daily visits, or overnight stays. She’s great to work with, kind, conscientious and fun!
Aline was outstanding with my elderly baby. He's practically blind and she did everything to make him feel safe and comfortable. She stayed in my home with him. He connected with her from the very beginning. She perfectly gave him his medicines (pills and liquids), she made sure he wore a diaper at night and when she was away. And she gave him all the snuggles he wanted. She looked after my Max perfectly and I will definitely book her again!
We loved having Katelyn stay with our pup, Rory, while we were away! She was very reliable, communicative, and friendly! Rory absolutely loved her. She kept us informed throughout her stay with great updates and pictures. She also left our home cleaner than she found it! We would love to have her watch Rory again!
Truman was able to accommodate last minute changes on my end and watch both my pups. One of our dogs was post surgery and needed special attention and Truman was great handling all of his care. He did a great job and the pups were sad for him to leave!! Truman is our go to for daytime walks and overnight trips.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Blands is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $75 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,965 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blands. 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 Blands 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 Blands 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 Blands 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
