“Haeli is the best! My girls loved her. I won’t hesitate to use her again. She communicates so well and was so responsive. I think I actually have more anxiety about leaving my dogs than they have about me leaving them. She was calming and assured me my girls were taken care of. Can ask for more than that. Thank you, Haeli!”
“We had an amazing experience with Lynn! From the very beginning, communication was clear and prompt, and I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. She sent regular updates and photos, which made being away so much easier. When we came home our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter!”
“Courtney was an ideal last-minute sitter for our dogs. Our pups had unique needs: one has only one eye and a runny nose, while the other had just been neutered with a cone and required medication. Courtney kept us informed about their well-being and left the place in pristine condition when we returned home. Her professionalism, flexibility, and exceptional care for our furry companions made her an excellent choice. We highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking her again for future travel. Thanks, Courtney!”
“Mark was an amazing house sitter for us and we even quickly rebooked to use him again in December. He sent us a ton of pictures daily and regularly. This is something I very much appreciated getting constant updates/pics throughout the day, every day. This brings so much peace of mind while we are away. Would highly recommend Mark!”
“Ami was a fantastic house sitter with our dog Chip! She came over earlier in the week to introduce herself and meet our dog. She is incredibly friendly, engaging and a great communicator. Any questions she was quick to reply via text message and she sent some great pictures of Chip while we were gone to ensure they were doing great! Also part a very nice followup note for us when we returned home. I would highly recommend her and we’ll definitely utilize her services again!”
“Abby was absolutely amazing! My dog loved her instantly and she was so attentive to his individual needs and anxiety. I was anxious to try out new dog sitters as I just moved to the area but she was always keeping me in the loop and was extra loving to my fur buddy. Will use again!”
“Laura helped us out in a pinch. She’s prompt and took care of our high energy pup and made sure he got plenty of walks in. I appreciate her taking such good care of him while we were gone.”
“Diana is one of those people who when you meet her, you know she has a kind heart. Beautiful inside and out. She took great care of Finn. She watered my potted outside plants for me. Otherwise I am sure they wouldn't have lived through the scorching hot weather. She updated me and sent pictures of Finn. I also liked that she had experience with grouchy dogs because Finn is a rescue and can get frightened and grouchy with new people. He warmed up to her and Diana was able to get a leash on him and go on walks. I will use her in the future if I ever need to Rover again.”
About: I grew up having lots of pets, and know the joy they bring to your home. Over the years my friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets and their homes while they are away. I have taken care of goldendoodles, pitbulls, bulldogs, beagles, and pugs. I would love to help you care for your pets or home in any way you need! I currently have a flexible schedule and am free nearly every afternoon and evening. My weekends are fairly free as well. I am happy to do extended stays as well. I follow all directions and wishes of my clients. I can honor designated feeding times and medications if necessary, including insulin injections. I will respect other belongings in the home and leave things as I found them.
“Jessica was amazing! She stayed at our house with our lab while we were on vacation. She sent many pictures and kept us updated on how things were going! She left the house very clean and even brought us flowers :) I highly recommend Jessica and look forward to having her stay again.”
“Justin was a great and trusted sitter for our boy while we were gone overnight. Took wonderful care of him and was an excellent communicator. Sent us photos and took great care of the house. Cleaned up after himself which was very thoughtful! Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an in home sitter.”
“We were away on a 2.5 week vacation overseas, the longest we’ve been away from our cats. They are pretty low maintenance and are good as long as they have food and water, but we were worried about our long absence since they’re pretty cuddly and clingy. I did some research on pet sitting and found Charity through Rover and was immediately impressed with her stellar reviews and repeat clients! I reached out and explained our situation and she was so kind and receptive. We booked our sitting appointment for the full 2.5 weeks, and booked a meet and greet about a month before to walk through the apartment, meet our cats, and chat. Charity is so warm and easy to talk to, it’s as if we’d been friends a long time. During our vacay, she gave us daily updates with pictures despite the time zone difference, and made us feel at ease. It made enjoying our vacay that much easier knowing she was here every day taking care of our fur babies. Charity is a natural with animals, isn’t afraid to ask questions, and we will definitely work with her again for our next vacation! Thank you so much, Rover and Charity!”
“Ashlee was amazing with our dogs. They feel in love with her at the meet & greet. Ashlee made sure to get to know each of them and all their needs, took notes on how to care for them, and asked so many questions to make sure our girls got the best care. While we were gone she sent pictures and updates everyday and spoiled our girls!”
“Gabrielle was amazing! I always worry about leaving our older dog, Bogey, he has anxiety issues and needs a lot of love and care. Gabby stayed in our home while my family and I were on vacation. She did an incredible job making sure Bogey went out when needed, she cleaned up any accidents he had, and the most important thing is she stayed the night in our home, which allowed Bogey to sleep in her bed and gave him comfort all night, as if I was home. I had zero concerns or issues while gone and I hope she’ll want to come back to watch Bogey for us again. Thank you so much!”
“We recently have started using Rover to assist with dog sitting while we are out of town. I chose Theresa because she has a background of taking care of senior dogs, special needs, and medication administration. She was great with daily updates/feedback. We had been out of town for 3 weeks, she assisted with part of that time. While my dog was in her care she noticed an unusual cough. I was able to set up a veterinarian appointment for the next day. She was happy to take my dog to the vet's office. And called me during the appointment to talk with the veterinarian. Unfortunately, it was not the best news but she was able to administer the new medication, so my dog could be on his way to better health. I appreciate her noticing the issue, and taking care of it. I will definitely be using her again.”

Kendra was fantastic! She stayed in my home for 7 night and took exceptional care of my dog and cat. I received multiple updates and pictures each day and she was extremely responsive anytime I reached out. My home was exactly how I left it, if not more tidy. I will definitely be using her again to watch my girls when out of town.
Abigail did an amazing job watching our cat for the week! She gave her extra attention and care, provided pictures and videos everyday, and responded to any messages I sent very timely. Our cat was a happy cat when we returned all thanks to Abigail! Would highly recommend!
Analee was great. She was great with Simon and Sully and great with her communication. The boys really liked her and they especially liked her son Hunter. He was a first class playmate and they had a blast. When we got home the house was perfect and Simon and Sully were worn out from playing! Can't ask for more. We will book Annalee again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Boys Town
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boys Town on Rover is $54.35 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 628 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boys Town. 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 Boys Town 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 Boys Town 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 Boys Town 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 Boys Town. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
