“Rachel is amazing! She took care of every need our dogs had, gave updates, sent pictures and helped so much! I never questioned if my dogs were in good hands and we will definitely reach out in the future!!”
“Ashley is fantastic. She sat for us and we left her with some hectic things, like power outages and fridge that stopped working. She was able to manage it and get the fridge running. She pulled our trash cans in without me asking and laid out towels to dry the dogs feet during the rain (again without being asked). I am a bit of a hover mom with my pups and I don’t feel a need to check in with her bc she handles everything and loves on our pups.”
“Kelley was incredible. She sent us pics of our dogs daily in which they looked so happy. Our house was well taken care of and very clean upon our return. There was even a mishap on my end at the start of the sit and she handled it very well. We’ve had other sitters and she’s hands down the best. Thanks, Kelley.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Theresa was an excellent house/dog sitter who works remotely and thus was at our home much of the time. Communication was excellent. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Dani is the best!! She watched our dog at our house for a whole week between Christmas & New Years. She is very reliable and kind! Her communication was great - we received lots of sweet pictures and updates throughout her stay which was such a treat! Our dog immediately took to Dani and they became best friends right away 🥰 It was so nice knowing Winston was in good hands while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her to take care of your furry loved ones!”
“Angela, is very professional and very good with dogs. I felt totally comfortable leaving my doggies (one who has health problems) with her. She updated me several times during the day, and assured me the boys had every need met. She didn't push them - but responded well to their missing mom and other quirks. Thank you Angela!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing!! She sent us updates multiple times a day and has amazing communication. It helped us relax on vacay knowing she was taking such good care of our babies. Im recommending her to everyone I know that will be going out of town. Thank you so much Jessica ur the best!!!”
“Jennifer was very kind to watch Mamba with less than a week's notice, which I really appreciated! Mamba also had a last-minute vet visit and Jennifer was still willing to watch her with a cone, and some new medication to administer that I had not planned on. Everything went smoothly! Loved getting pictures as well!”
“Nidia was wonderful while watching my dog Gus for an extended weekend. She was able to come by before hand to meet Gus and myself so we could have introductions and to ensure it was a good fit. While away, she sent lots of pictures and was great at communicating. When I got home it was also clear she cleaned up a bit and was a great guest!”
“Ethan is a great sitter who takes care of our sweet pup who seems to really enjoy his company. We come home to a happy girl and our house as we left it. Ethan is definitely worth recommending!”
“Keri was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of my home and my cat while I was away. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. My cat was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned, and my house was in perfect condition. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, and I would gladly book them again.”
“Paula was great with our three dogs while we were away ! She house sat while we were on a cruise and kept us updated with pictures and texts. The house was clean and in order when we got home. We will definitely be using her again for our next vacation!”
“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!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boyd on Rover is $22.2 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 1,875 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boyd. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
