“Kelley was great! Daisy was super well cared for and the house was left in better order than when I left. She provided lots of photos of my fur girl in her day, I would definitely rebook with Kelley.”
“Caitlin was fantastic! This was our first experience using Rover and leaving our pups for five days. She kept us informed the entire time, sending updates and pictures of our dogs. Our home was in perfect condition when we returned, just as we left it. Our pups got along wonderfully with her, and we will definitely be booking her again for dog sitting.”
“Hailey did a great job looking after our 3 pups. She was great with communication, followed the instructions for our dog’s routine and updated us with pics of our girls. We were very pleased!”
“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!”
“Rachel did a fabulous job taking care of my furbabies. It's nice to have someone you can trust to stay in your home. Rachel is a great communicator. I've never had a pet sitter before now who kept in constant communication about how things were going. It gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone searching for a trustworthy and caring petsitter.”
“I’m a helicopter mom to my fur babies, but Nidia makes it so easy for me to actually relax and enjoy myself while I’m away from home. She is really great about my cats’ routines and always is mindful of my instructions for their care, which I really appreciate! She’s also punctual, reliable and communicative, which are all big pluses especially if I’m far from home. My cats also love her, and are very comfortable around her. Nidia also maintains cleanliness in the house, takes in my packages, etc. all bonuses! Honestly I am SO glad I found her to take care of my cats while I’m away, because I actually am able to focus on my work or vacation and not worry about how my cats are doing or if they’re well taken care of. She’s already watched them 3 times for me, in a span of less than 6 months and I know that I will be using her services every time when I’m away. If you’re on the fence about getting a sitter, here’s your sign to trust Nidia. She is the best!”
“I have used Alicia for dog sitting in my home and plan on continuing to do so when I must travel for work. She is extremely reliable and quickly established a great relationship with Bentley. This immediately eased any concerns I had leaving him as she cares for him as I would. Alicia is great at communicating and providing updates during my time away. You can fully trust that your pet is in wonderful hands. I highly recommend her services! You will not be disappointed.”
“Ashley was able to come watch my pups even though it was a last minute request. She was so good about texting me updates, sending pics, all the things about my fur babies. She has such a sweet disposition about her and you can tell she has a true love for all animals. I’m hoping to use her again in the future !!!”
“Emma was amazing with our two pups and we will be using her again for sure! My dogs were happy and comfortable the entire time. I loved that since my Aussie has some anxiety she was great with both!”
“Honor was wonderful with Klooney while I was away for several hours. She updated me with photos and kept me informed of how things were going. I will definitely reach out to Honor next time I need help taking care of Klooney.”
“Kaitlynn has been nothing but the best for watching our hyper dogs , we appreciate how she has adjusted to them & how much they enjoy her company. I would definitely recommend 10/10 for anyone searching for a dog sitter”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boyd on Rover is $22.5 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 1,828 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boyd. 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 Boyd 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 Boyd 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 Boyd 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
