“Nancy was wonderful. She filled in at the last minute because I had a cancellation, and her up-beat spirit helped me know she's perfect for Sadie. I really liked her. She and Sadie got along real well, and I will request her again when the opportunity presents itself. My home was perfect when we got back. Thank you for being you Nancy.”

About: I’ve handled pets of my own and have provided at home care for friends or family members my whole life. When needed I’ve boarded animals at my own home for friends or family. There’s nothing like a good break with furry friends that helps the day go by. Currently I have a flexible scheduled and enjoy the opportunity. I always make sure that animals are given loving attention. It’s important that they are provided with the bathroom, sleeping and toy accommodations they deserve and the exercise they need. I understand the need for routine.

She was very communicative , and sent me lots of photos of my boy! We will absolutely be using Kari in the future, she is always welcome in our home! Thank you Kari!!”

“I was at ease when Ace came to care for my pets while I was away for vacation. I knew my pets were in good hands, there were updates on the visit, and Ace kept my dogs busy with walks and fetch! Especially with my high energic dog. Will definitely have Ace care for my pets again in the future.”
“The highest number of stars we could give Christine is 5 but she deserves many more. We planned a last-minute trip and our usual dog/house sitters weren't available. We went to Rover and found Christine. We met with her prior to our trip and instantly knew that our pups would be in the perfect hands with Christine. She went above and beyond any expectations we had. She kept in close contact with us and cared for our Emma and Fergus like they were her own. We rescued Fergus a year ago and, other than my husband and me, he is afraid of humans. Christine is the first "stranger" to be able to pet him which is huge progress in getting Fergus to overcome his fear. The day we left, Christine sent us a video of Emma and Fergus running and playing in our yard, so we knew that they had adjusted quickly. It didn't take long for them to warm up to Christine! Christine will always be our go-to when we go out of town. We completely trust her with our fur-babies and in our home.”
“Jennifer stayed with our Lab mix Hazel for the last week and we were so happy with how things went! Hazel got lots of walks, play time, snuggles and love! She stayed in touch with us several times a day and sent pictures?. Not only did Jennifer take wonderful care of Hazel, but also took care of the mail, garbage, and pet hair - it all made our trip that much more enjoyable! We can’t wait for Jennifer to come back for our next trip!”
“Ann was wonderful with our dog and birds. She gave us daily updates and took care of our babies as they were hers. We felt at peace on our vacation since we received daily updates. We are so glad we found her!”

“Nina is a dream sitter. We've had her stay in our home with our dogs several times now and between her stellar communication and beautiful photo updates we feel totally relaxed and reassured knowing we've left our two goofballs in the best hands. She consistently goes above and beyond and we come home to happy pups, we couldn't ask for more! Thank you Nina!”

I was very hesitant on trying this app for our “babies” while we were gone but Leo was awesome and I couldn’t recommend him more! He was very good with communication and what we needed done for the dogs. He always asked if there was more he could do and respectful of our home. I will 100% use him again when needed and would recommend him 10/10. He put me at ease about being away and our animals being able to stay home and be taken care of. Thank you so much Leo, can’t tell you enough how much we appreciate you!
Sarah was amazing! She has cared for our dogs more than four times and we will definitely ask her again in the future. She is reliable, trustworthy, caring and loving with our dogs. Communication is always easy and she provides daily updates, which gives us great peace of mind. She also takes excellent care of our home and is always respectful of our space. We highly recommend her!
We absolutely loved having Alyssa as a sitter! We have one senior dog that needs a lot of care and a puppy so they can be a lot and she handled it all so well and communicated everything to us that really allowed us to relax and actually leave home for once. Cannot say thank you enough.
Mariola was fantastic, and we would gladly use her again. From our very first interaction, she was friendly, professional, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she fully understood our dog’s routine and needs. We really appreciated that she was willing to come to our home for a meet-and-greet before our vacation, which gave us confidence and peace of mind before leaving. Throughout our trip, Mariola kept us updated with great communication. She even contacted us right away about a potential concern she noticed with our dog. It turned out to be nothing serious, but I appreciated her attentiveness and willingness to check rather than make assumptions. She also went above and beyond by helping with a couple of household tasks I had forgotten before leaving. She didn’t hesitate to help, and that level of care was greatly appreciated. When you’re away, peace of mind is everything, and Mariola absolutely provided that for us. Highly recommended! Kurt H
Corina stayed with my senior dog and cat while I was at a work meeting. My request was a little last minute but she was great to schedule and meet/greet quickly. She took great care of my fur babies and was patient with the senior needs of the dog, who is 17 years old. She has past experience with senior dogs so that was a plus. She responded quickly when I checked on them and sent photos. The house was clean and in order when I got home and the animals were not stressed. I would book Corina again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Boulder Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boulder Hill on Rover is $66.6 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 2,180 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boulder Hill. 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 Boulder Hill 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 Boulder Hill 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 Boulder Hill 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.
