About: Getting to love on your "best friend" and keep them company or give them potty breaks would be a great privilege! I have had dogs all my life. My last one had to be assisted to walk for quite some time and required lots of pills. For the last 5 years, I have been house sitting for my two sons who each have two dogs. I would prefer to meet and greet so that you can decide if I would be a good fit. Although I have never done this for profit, I do believe I can make you happy. My neighbors can provide a reference if need be. I am currently unemployed and am available any time. I would like to be free to keep doctor's appointments. However, if that is not agreeable to you, I try to reschedule any appointments. I will make sure your fur babies have several potty breaks during the day and right before bed if I am staying in your home. I love to pet and play with them - according to their desires. Of course I can provide lots of pictures with my cell phone if you like.
“Madeline & Isaiah are so great! They took care of our pups just like their own and were very diligent with their feeding & overall care. Super communicative and trustworthy. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for in home dog sitting or even drop ins! They routinely do both visit types for us and we truly can’t give them enough praises for how well they take care of our fur babies.”
“Yvette was great with our two dogs! Thank you so much for your flexibility and caring for our pups with our crazy pop ups this week. We came home with the pups very happy as though we hadn’t left. Definitely recommend Yvette!”
About: I’ve enjoyed caring for various cats and dogs for 10 years, including friends and my own cat. I am reliable and can handle all food care, restroom care, walks and playtime with animals as needed. I am happy to drive up to 30 mins to a location to care for animals, whether it’s daily walks or an overnight stay or a drop in. I am happy to support week days as needed and I’m happy to handle morning, daytime and evening needs and visits. I will follow all directions to the best of my ability. I am happy to drive up to 30 mins to a location to care for animals, whether it’s daily walks or an overnight stay or a drop in. I will ensure food and water needs are followed to the directions and that I can stay to support basic needs plus any additional requirements to ensure the animals have all appropriate care.
“Amanda did a fantastic job with the girls. We definitely will call upon Amanda the next time we need someone to take care of Esperanza and Faith. Amanda was fantastic.”
“Honor took excellent care of my babies! She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have always loved them. I adopted my baby 5 years ago without knowing how close we would be — she’s my baby girl! She’s an apartment dog, so I’m comfortable caring for indoor dogs and making sure they still get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. I walk my dog atleast twice a day and love spending time with her. She’s a CHEWER so I love finding her chewies that last and that she loves. She has two moods — couch potato and wild animal — so I can hang with both! :) I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs — I’m willing and able to follow your instructions to help your doggy feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I have experience in caring for allergies and other health needs, so I’m comfortable following medication instructions, keeping up with special routines, and paying attention to changes in their behavior. My baby is also quite reactive with people and other dogs, so I’m comfortable doing whatever we need to do for them to feel safe and secure when we’re out and about — and will follow any specific instructions you give me! :) Your baby will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m excited to meet you and your doggy! :) I’m currently building my own coffee truck business, which gives me a flexible schedule while I work on getting everything up and running. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to caring for dogs, and can work their walks, playtime, feeding, and other needs into my daily routine. I really enjoy having dogs as part of my day, so pet sitting is own thing I really love doing. When caring for pets in their home, my biggest priorities are safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll follow the instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any specific needs or preferences your pet has. I’m very attentive to dogs and like to make sure they’re comfortable and supervised, especially when they’re in a new or unfamiliar situation. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping things clean and secure, and making sure doors, gates, and other exits are properly closed. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I’ll do my best to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve had both cats & dogs my entire life, caring for them at every stage. I also have work experience at a doggie daycare, where I cared for dogs during boarding stays, daytime play, bathing & those with extra needs :) no dog (or cat) is too big or small, I love them all! My schedule is flexible at this time, I can work with a pet parents needs to ensure their furbabies are taken care of! Early walks, daytime check ins, etc can all be accommodated. A consistent schedule is best for a pet when a new person comes in to take care, which is what I aim to provide to clients. Any quirks, routines or additional info I need to make your pets feel safe & taken care of I will gladly implement!
“Brittany took care of our pup with no problems. We appreciate her communication and willingness to meet our pup before her stay. We also appreciate her being respectful to his schedule and keeping him active!”
“Brenda did a wonderful job watching Scarlett at our home. She sent us videos everyday and let us know how things were going. It can take Scarlett some time to get used to new people but within a day she was already following Brenda around the house. I would definitely recommend Brenda to anyone needing a pet sitter. Thank you so much for watching our little Scarlett!”
About: My wife and I are huge pet lovers. She's been doing pet foster care since she was young and I've had the privelage of owning a few animals myself. I absolutely love being around animals of all kinds and loving on them as I would my own. We also have experience with medication administration. We're flexible and adaptable and here for your fur babies! If your fur babies like to be around other animals we have a very loving dog who loves all animals and loves to play. I look forward to speaking with you and getting to know your pets! Ally is a stay at home mom, though she does have a job that takes her away periodically she's at home the majority of the time so there is almost always someone available to give the animals the love and attention they deserve. We have a fenced yard with some space to run and stretch or get some fresh air. Sometimes we take multiple dogs at a time but not normally. If separation is required a crate is preferred but we do have extra rooms and baby gates to give the dogs their own space is we need to leave the house or for sleeping hours.
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising 4 dogs, 2 cats, and rescuing local strays. Reliable, attentive care tailored to your pet's needs I work entirely on a flexible freelance schedule, allowing me to easily fit drop-in visits into my morning, afternoon, or evening routine. Because my calendar is open, I can accommodate last-minute requests, holiday visits, or consistent daily check-ins to make sure your babies are never left waiting. I provide highly attentive care strictly inside the client's home to keep both dogs and cats safe and comfortable in their own familiar territory. For dog walks and visits, I focus on safe leashing, fun exercise around the neighborhood, and refreshing water. For cat drop-ins, I carefully follow exact feeding guidelines and thoroughly scoop litter boxes. I always spend quality time playing with your pets or giving them gentle attention based on their unique personalities. Before leaving, I double-check that your home is completely secure and send a detailed update with fun photos so you have complete peace of mind.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blue Mound
Lauren went above and beyond for my boys! She handled them with absolute love and care! They are so lucky to have had her for their stay! Absolutely would have her over again! She played with them, communicated well, and took care of them like they were her own! So wonderful!
Sydnee is a life savor. I don’t trust anyone with my two Dobermans that are truly my two kids, but I fully trust her. She truly loves your pets like her own and there’s no need to worry when she is watching them. When my Doberman was healing from his multiple surgeries, she took the absolute best care of him when I had to leave him to return to work. I can’t stress enough that she is definitely the person you want watching your furry loved ones. 🐾 🤍
Alaini did a great job looking after our pups. She was able to accommodate us despite the booking being pretty last minute. Her communication was great and she was always quick to respond to messages. She was mindful of our care instructions and sent us great pictures or our pups throughout. We would definitely book with her again.
This was our first overnight booking, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Our dogs were well cared for, comfortable, and happy while we were away. We received updates and felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. We would definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Spencer stayed in our home and watched 2 of our furbabies for 3 nights and did a great job. He made sure to communicate with us, providing updates and photos. When we got back home, he left our home the same way he found it and we would have never known he had stayed there. He took great care of our dogs and home, which is greatly appreciated. We will definitely use him again. Thank you Spencer.
Makae and her family were incredible!! We are always anxious to leave our pup with someone else, but they exceeded our expectations in every way. They take such great care to keep your dogs on their routine and make sure they are comfortable! Makae was in constant communication, and we received so many updates and cute pictures. It is clear how much the family loves all dogs like their own, and we would absolutely trust them to watch our boy anytime!! ❤️
Alicia was awesome! She showed up to our meet and greet incredibly prepared, and I knew immediately I could trust her. She sent a ton of photos the whole time I was gone and the house was in great shape when I got home. Definitely would recommend and will book with her again for sure.
Kenzie did an amazing job helping us out with a last minute sitting request. She had great communication both before and throughout the sitting.. She was also attentive as we went over the care instructions for our little ones. During the stay she kept us updated on our pups and sent us pictures which we love. Wouldn’t hesitate using her again!
Rumi and Sona had such a wonderful time with Deeyana! From the very beginning, communication was easy and reassuring. We received regular updates and photos, which made us feel at ease knowing our pups were happy and cared for. Both dogs immediately warmed up, and it was clear they were given lots of love, attention, and playtime. We especially appreciated the patience and care shown to make sure Rumi and Sona felt comfortable in their own routine. We’re so grateful to have found such a trustworthy sitter and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone reliable who truly cares about your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Blue Mound on Rover is $40.31 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,118 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blue Mound. 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 Blue Mound 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 Blue Mound 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 Blue Mound 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
