“This was my first time using a pet sitter, and I was honestly a little nervous leaving my pet with someone new. But the experience turned out amazing. They were very kind, reliable, and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My pet looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. You can tell they genuinely care about animals. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Yvette did a great job. We have an aggressive dog so our situation isn’t the easiest for most sitters but she kept everyone safe and our home clean. We would highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Alexis was awesome. Was consistent and gave great updates. We will definitely use her in the future. She made a point to make sure my animals were comfortable with her before the trip.”

“Madison was the best! This was our first time using rover / leaving our mini labradoodle with anyone outside of our family. She was so responsive and sent us a bunch of pics! She constantly kept us up to date on the weekend so we didn’t have to stress about Millie while we were gone. Would highly recommend using her!”
“Madeline was available last minute and made me feel safe leaving my kitties behind for a few days. She sent pictures of each of them to me and made me feel they were loved and well taken care of while I was gone. I highly recommend Madeline to anyone needing help, especially those who may need extra cuddles or medication needs!”
About: I have a deep love for dogs and plenty of hands-on experience, including caring for my own sweet pup, Maggie. I understand that your furry friend is a cherished family member, and I'm dedicated to providing them with the same attentive, loving care while you're away. Whether it's playtime, walks, or plenty of belly rubs, your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have availability Monday through Thursday, making me perfect for daytime walks, drop-in visits, or daycare.

I follow consistent schedules for feeding and exercise, offer plenty of one-on-one attention through play and affection, and manage any specific medical or dietary needs. You can travel with peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is safe, secure, and receiving the highest level of love and care right at home.
“Lexcy did an incredible job looking after our pups while we were away. She communicated well throughout the stay, kept us updated and sent us pictures and videos that made us feel at ease. We couldn’t have been happier with how she looked after our pups!”
“Peggy was wonderful! She was so sweet and patient with our little goofballs. Both dogs and the house were very well cared for. We would definitely recommend Peggy to others and will book her again for sure👍🏻👍🏻”
“Kassandra was great! When initially meeting my pups, she took the time to ask questions and let them get to know her. While sitting, she sent some great photos of my much missed pups and was a great communicator! Definitely would recommend!!”
“For the first time ever we left our 12 year old dog at home while going on vacation and needed someone to stay with him. Melissa knocked it outta the park with our tripawd dog Sammy and treated him like family. In addition to giving him three medications every morning and evening, she cuddled him, played with him, carried him up and down stairs and made him feel loved. Melissa sent photos of Sammy having the time of his life which made it easy to enjoy ourselves on vacation knowing he was well cared for.”
“J was awesome. We contacted J last minutes because our normal sitter cancelled. J was willing to stay in our home overnight for 9 days/8 nights. J took awesome care of our two schnauzers, sending us daily pictures and updates. J also took care of our home including the pool. We highly recommend J!”
About: I've been a sitter throughout a majority of my life and have been exposed to all sorts of pets. Dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, even frogs! I spent a lot of my teenage years looking after my neighbors pets and my own. My parents were strict that if we were to have pets they were everyone's responsibility! I have definitely taken on that mentality throughout life, as every pet is precious and worth the love and effort. I'd love to be able to look after your fur-baby if given the opportunity—feel free to reach out! I'm currently starting my own art business, so my schedule is very open, I can work around whatever time you need me there for your pet! Whatever is your routine for your pet and household rules are, I will do everything in my power to uphold it! If you want walks, outdoor time, play time I am happy to accommodate.
“Anna is amazing. My skiddish giant took to her right away. It was his first time with a new sitter in a new house. I am so happy both Hatcher and I have a new friend in Anna.”
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life including a pet rat. For some reason animals tend to like me and I like them as well. I have had to put down three pets in the last two years, very hard thing to do. I had 4 dogs and two cats, sadly down to one each. I’m retired and available anytime during the day. If there are some odd hours it can be discussed. If you pet needs me to walk them and or clean a litter box that will be no problem. I will be glad to send photos during my visit if needed. My yard is fully fenced with rod iron fencing, if the dog is small they might get out but doubtful. I prefer not to keep your pet at my house at this time.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Blue Mound is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blue Mound
There isn’t enough space to talk about how amazing Donna was with my Toby. She watched him while we were out of the country for 10 days. She managed well and all his little wants and needs. When I returned he was very happy to see me but he was calm and content. She gave updates, and even managed a leaking roof crisis while I was gone. Her communication, attention and genuine caring and desire for my baby to be happy was her priority. I will use her again and again.
Spencer stayed in our home for a last minute request and he did great with our 3 furbabies. They all were well cared for, I received regular updates and photos. He also kept our home clean and brought in our mail and packages. We appreciate Spencer, his care and communication with me in regard to our dog's and home. Thank you Spencer.
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!
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!
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!! ❤️
We had a fantastic experience with Lizbeth from start to finish. She stayed overnight in our home for a little over a week and took excellent care of Bella. Lizbeth was incredibly trustworthy, communicative, and clearly attentive to Bella’s needs the entire time. When we returned, the house was spotless, and everything was just as we left it. She was very responsive throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Lizbeth to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dogsitter.
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Blue Mound is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $83 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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.
