“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!”
“Lynn was great with the boys. It was a happy feeling for us everyday that Simon and Sully were in home and taken care of. Lynn updated us regularly and sent is pictures. She even watered the plants! We could not have been happier.”
“Mark was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! So attentive and went above and beyond, especially during a very stressful time for animals…4th of July. He was very communicative, and we always knew what was going on with our pups regularly. It meant so much to us that we could relax on vacation knowing they were well taken care of! Will definitely be working with Mark in the future!”
“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!”
“Marie took amazing care of our two dogs. She was flexible to our needs and theirs. She’s a wonderful communicator and left our home exactly how we left it. We already booked Marie for our next trip.”
“I can’t say enough about what an amazing job Kristi did. I would highly highly recommend her services. She communicated on a regular basis. I’ve used sitters before where they were just “there”. Kristi actually spent time interacting with my three dogs. She took the time to get to know each of their personalities. She asked questions about what they liked and didn’t like and even took time to brush them. Five stars!!’”
“Sarah was punctual, friendly, and tidy. Milo enjoyed playing with her and going for walks. Milo seemed very comfortable around her. She was able to follow directions and kept with his schedule while we were gone. We will definitely book Sarah again.”
About: I take care of my own two kitties and love to give them all the love and care they need to be happy and healthy. For multiple years I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for friends and family for a day or a week at a time. Further, I enjoy walking dogs for fellow residents in my apartments! I’m currently going in to my senior year of high school. I will be at classes until 1:30 from Monday - Friday. I am available evenings and weekends. If your pet needs morning check-ins, I will stop in before my school day. At this time, I will not be boarding pets in my own home. My own cats are easily stressed out, so I want to give them their own home to keep to themselves.
“Brandy is great! She is very reliable and communicative. I have a large dog who can be a lot to handle around other dogs and she does great with him. Brandy also house sat for me when my dog had a minor injury. She was on top of managing his care and reporting on his progress while I was away--and sent lots of great pictures. To boot, I returned to a very clean house. I highly recommend Brandy!”
About: I've grown up with always more than one animal in the household, and loving them is second nature. When my family and friends need someone to help take care of the pets, I am always the first option! I have taken care if lots of cats and dogs, but a few fish throughout the years too. I have experience not only with general pet care such as, feeding, walking, playing/enrichment, but also with giving medications. Some dog breeds I have worked with (or lived with) are German Shepards, Yellow Labs, and mutts that are a mix of medium/bigger dogs or small dachshund mixes. And a lot of different cat personalities! The distant and quiet ones who keep to themselves and the ones who need your attention the second you walk through your door! Either way, I have always loved them no matter what, and continue to love them still. I am about to start a part-time job that has me working either from 10-3 or 11-4. I am always willing to wake up early or stay up late because I have the late start time of the work! In my home, my cat never has a missed meal, he has clean and running water 24/7, and a handful of toys available for enrichment! A handheld laser always nearby for sudden play time is anecessity! As for my client's pets, I will always follow instructions step by step and detail by detail, no matter if feeding times includes something silly to get the fur baby to actually eat their food, I will always do it! And I am not the kind of person to just stop in, do what I need to do, and leave. I will make sure the pet is well loved and knows that I am there for them.
“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!”
“Taylor was absolutely perfect! It was kind of a last-minute booking and I was so grateful she was able to take on the job. She took very good care of my two girls one that has been experiencing seizures so I was very worried about her. We had clear communications and I was so very comfortable. I will definitely use Taylor again!”
“Jason was a fabulous dog sitter who watched our dog in our home for five days. He was responsive to communications, sent sweet pictures of my pup during their time together and I came home to a house that was much cleaner than I'd left it. I'd definitely recommend him and seek him out next time I go out of town.”
“I recently booked Marc to take care of my cat. She's definitely a less than friendly feline with strangers, and he was great with her. She requires meds twice a day and he had zero issues getting her taken care of. I'd absolutely recommend Marc to take care of any animal if you need help.”
“Theresa did a great job with our puppies. She was on time and on track with one of the puppy's daily meds and sent pictures of the puppies all snuggled in. We will definitely call her back to sit with our puppies in the future. Thanks.”
“Greg did an excellent job taking care of the boys and the house. The boys loved him. I am not sure they missed us at all. We would definitely have him watch our boys again.”
“I was very nervous leaving my daisy while we went on vacation. She gets high anxiety when we leave. Kendra sent us pictures and updates the whole time. Plus our daisy was so comfortable with her, it was so much easier to enjoy our vacation. She was awesome!!! I only want her services from now on.”
“Abbie was absolutely wonderful! She has such a bright a bubbly personality, our dogs warmed up to her really fast which was surprising and made me feel really happy. Shes really great about sending photos and communicating throughout the time she was with them. I would absolutely recommend her.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Boys Town is $47

alexis looked after our dogs for 9 days and she was the best person we could have asked to do this job. she updated us constantly and sent pictures of our dogs, she also left the house cleaner than what it was. we would definitely use her to watch our dogs again and they had an amazing time with her!
Addison took fantastic care of our 2 dogs over the weekend and they had a great time with her. She was reliable, communicative and thoroughly professional from start to finish. We really appreciated the frequent updates and photos. We are grateful for the excellent care she gave our dogs and would happily book 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 $55.5 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 638 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.

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.
