“This was our first time entrusting Patrick with our house and pups. We were quite confident in our decision when, during the meet and greet, Patrick inquired about our care routines in detail, which we hadn’t been asked before. Throughout our trip, Patrick kept us informed about our pups’ well-being by sending us pictures of their adventures. We appreciated receiving these updates as they allowed us to stay connected while we were away. We highly recommend Patrick for future dog-sitting needs and believe he would be a great fit for your requirements as well.”
“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”
“Jackie is a fantastic sitter! Dexter warmed up to her quickly and she took such good care of him. She was extremely attentive to his needs and great at communicating and providing updates on how he was doing each day. I really appreciate how she went the extra mile to make sure Dexter felt comfortable, safe and happy! It was amazing to have peace of mind while being away that my dog was in great hands. Will definitely be hiring Jackie again!”
“Sydney was great with our husky and pug! Our pug is diabetic, blind and elderly and Sydney was fine with giving her insulin. They were both well cared for. We will definitely seek out her services when we need a sitter in the future!”
“Kaitlin did a one-night housesitting job and was everything we could have asked for, from meet and greet through the engagement. She provided prompt communications and was responsive the whole way through. We came home to a clean house and a happy, tired dog. We will be using Kaitlin again soon!”
“Kristie is always reliable, dependable and a great friend to our chocolate lab Maya who has some anxiety. Thanks again Kristie for helping Maya feel so comfortable especially on the fourth of July holiday with all the fireworks!”
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”
“Laura was great. Our pets were at ease with her right away. She was easy to communicate with and sent updates throughout her stay. Will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Evan was great! Very good with handling Delilah and providing updates on her as well as not being afraid to ask clairfying questions for things I forgot to mention in her care plan”
“Just spent a long weekend away thanks to Alexis. She was able to help out on short notice, even coming by to meet me and my pup. Kept me updated with lots of photos throughout the weekend and I think my house was left better than before I went away! Thank you again!”
“I cannot believe how well this worked out! I just met Hannah through Rover and she took amazing care of my senior dog. She was professional and very competent. My dog has mobility and other challenges and needs a lot of special care. Hannah handled all of that without any problems. She stayed in touch with me while we were away, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying. She also obviously gave my dog plenty of affection! I would definitely book Hannah again and I will be recommending her to my friends in the area.”
“Lindsey was awesome! Incredibly communicative and sent lots of sweet photos of our gals. They were wonderfully cared for and were very happy. Would absolutely book again!”
“Heather is our go to dog sitter, and she is the best! Heather sends updates and photos of our pup throughout her stay, and we always are able to enjoy our time away knowing that our pup is in such great hands. We also always return to our house just as we left it. Cannot recommend Heather enough!”
“Natalie took great care of our 2 pugs while we were on our honeymoon for 8 days! Pugs were super happy when we got home and the apartment was left very clean. Loved the daily updates and would definitely recommend!”
“Kacy took care of my two energetic dogs for a few days while we were away. She took great care of them, sent us pictures often and asked any questions needed to make sure they had the best care possible. We will 100% be reaching out again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Broughton
Jamie is simply the best and I cannot recommend her enough. I have two large dogs - a lab and german shepherd who both adore her and her son. Not only did she take great care of the dogs, but was great at sending updates and cute photos. She is a great communicator and a true dog lover. Can’t wait to use her again!
Elaine was fantastic. She not only managed to watch our house and pup, Mina, on short notice, but it was also during a holiday weekend. She was a fantastic communicator from the jump, asking a bunch of questions about Mina's habits, likes/dislikes, etc. I especially appreciated her open-communication when she had to manage a family emergency. She assured me that Mina was going to be taken care of and kept me updated along the way. I would highly recommend Elaine, and I (and Mina) are looking forward to booking her again.
Heather is very responsible and trustworthy. We met her before making our decision, and she is knowledgeable and experienced in taking care of cats. While she was caring for our kitty, she was always punctual, made sure he was doing well, and gave him plenty of attention by playing with him!
Sydney was so lovely! She was great with Tallulah and gave us updates and sent photos throughout our Christmas trip. She was extremely professional and let us know when our dog tore up some soft toys overnight, and even cleaned it all up for us! Tallulah is a bit of a princess and doesn't like going potty in the rain to the extent of faking a pee to get back inside... Sydney saw right through the trick and made sure she went potty. We will definitely hire Sydney again! Thanks for everything!

FAQs for House Sitting - Broughton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,434 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Broughton. 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 Broughton 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 Broughton 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 Broughton 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

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.
