“Lori was so fantastic to have in my home and she did an amazing job with my puppy! It was incredible to get some time to go to an appointment and run errands while knowing my puppy was safe and having a good time. Lori sent updates and photos so I wouldn't be worried. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Kim house sat for us for six days taking care of our one year old dog and two cats. We first met at a local park so she could meet our dog - a very high energy lab mix. Then she came to our house ahead of our leaving to learn our setup. We threw a lot of information at her and she was completely unfazed. Our pets took to her right away with no problems. We got daily updates including information about the playing, walking (dog!) and medicine our older cat needed. We could not have been more pleased with Kim. Great communicator. Great with the pets. We would definitely recommend.”
“My dogs were well taken care of and my house looked the same as when i left. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I will definitely reach out again to book Katelyn P!”
“Maria was outstanding. My cats were chill and happy when I arrived home. She even refilled my bird feeders. Much gratitude for her love and care of Bodhi and Bear. Will definitely use again and highly recommend 💜”
“Ally is the best ! From the time she arrived our pup loved her! Ally took her on walks, sent photos and video and the communication was perfect! When my dog is calm and relaxed, we know she had a fantastic day. Would highly recommend using Ally!”
“Sarah was absolutely great! She is great at communication both before and during the day, kept the house clean, and most importantly kept the animals safe while we were away. We are looking forward to using Sarah in the future!”
“Monica is the best!! I have two Senior Chihuahuas that are both on medication and special food. She has taken the time to earn their trust and takes wonderful care of them and not just physically. She considered each dogs quirks and fears and has made them both very happy dogs when I’m away. I’ve gotten so much more freedom now because of her. She is Amazing!!”
“Tara did an excellent job housesitting and petsitting our German shorthair dog, Sage. She was very responsive and we loved the pictures and numerous updates throughout the day, it made us feel so at ease and assured that our dog was in good hands! We have already booked her for another date. Thank you, Tara!”
“Dave provided exceptional care to our dog Fiona for a 4 night get away. We returned to a happy pup and an immaculate house. I am planning a next trip just to be able to see Dave again!”
“Konnie was absolutely great! She came a week before our trip to meet our pup and get to know him. Then when our trip arrived she did everything we asked and then some! You can tell she really does just love being around animals!”
“Tabbi was great with my little Nahla! Everything was left just as it was when I left you could hardly tell she was there 😀 Will definitely book with her again.”
“Chelsea did a great job caring for my dogs while I was out of town. She kept the house clean and even took care of our bearded dragon! We were kept updated with frequent pictures. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again! Thank you, Chelsea!”
“Thank you so much for staying with my girl while I was out of town! I couldn't be happier with how well my pup was cared for. She sent pictures regularly throughout the day and kept me informed of how my pup was doing. 100% would recommend to anyone for any critter.”
“Rebecca was wonderful with our Yorkie, Hoagie. She watched him in our home over the New Year holiday. We especially liked her detailed daily updates and photos. The messages reassured us that Hoagie was happy while we were away and confirmed that he was adjusting to Rebecca as a trusted caregiver.”
About: My family has always had animals, and I've always loved taking care of them. Dogs, cats, birds, the whole nine yards. I've been around pure-breds, mutts, strays, elderly animals, young animals, a whole range, and I've always been very close with all of them. The most direct experience I've ever had was helping raise and train my mother's dog Ivan, a big American Bulldog with German Shepherd and Siberian Husky heritage, from near-birth to nine years old. Beyond that, I've helped care for my grandmother's many dogs, including Jasper, who is pictured in my profile picture. I'm currently on summer break between my Junior and Senior year of college, so I have plenty of time to care for animals at most points during the week. I generally like to keep Sundays and Mondays open, but I'm otherwise totally free to work. I'm a fairly relaxed pet owner myself, but I know when animals need to be taken seriously. As someone who helped raise a moderately antisocial 100 lbs. dog once, I know it's not all sunshine and rainbows. That being said, I'm more than loving and compassionate, and will do everything in my power to make sure your animals feel loved and cared for when I'm with them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Botzum
Our pets absolutely adore Cassie! She is the absolute best with any animals she’s ever with! She excels in folllwoing instructions, taking cute pictures of the pets, and giving them the best cuddles! She’s been watching our pets for the last few years now, and we always know our house/pets will be in good order when she’s here. We will be using her plenty more times in the future, and are so thankful to have her!
Mackenzie always goes above and beyond to make time away from the pups easier. She takes great care of them, sends regular updates, and even makes sure everything is clean and better than she found it before I get home. She's my go-to pet care help, and for good reason - she's the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Botzum on Rover is $38.85 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 1,367 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Botzum. 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 Botzum 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 Botzum 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 Botzum 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Botzum. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
