“Adrian is absolutely wonderful! We have three pugs — our 17-year-old senior who needs help getting around, our 14-year-old special needs baby, and our energetic 4-year-old who can find trouble in the blink of an eye. Not the easiest crew to care for, but Adrian handled them all with so much love and patience. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for pups, and that means everything to us. When you have seniors with special needs, leaving them isn’t easy — but knowing Adrian was with them gave us complete peace of mind the entire time we were away. We couldn’t recommend Adrian more. If you’re looking for someone who will truly treat your pets like family, look no further!”
“Byrnnye was an excellent dog sitter and left our home immaculately clean, we appreciated her very much. She was very responsive in getting back to us with texts that kept us informed of our dog's wellbeing.”
About: I love pets and would love to play with them. I took care of my roommate’s cat for 2 years in college and friends have relied on me to play with and walk their dogs. I love all cats and dogs and would love to play and get to know them! I’m very energetic and can usually fit 10k steps in a day. I have more experience with cats, but would love to meet and walk new dogs! I have just graduated from UC Davis, so I am searching for a job. I have a lot of free time, so I am pretty flexible with pet care. I’m pretty strong, patient, and intuitive. Most animals like me and tend to come up to me. I love most pets and they tend to like how ai can match their energy levels, whether we are running around or I’m petting them on the couch.
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, from fostering puppies and kittens from the animal shelter to raising many dogs and cats! My family raised me to be an animal lover as we care for animals in such a different way. I have done overnight sittings, walkings, and day care visits for many friends and family and decided to join here to expand my abilities! I love getting to know all different kinds of animals and being able to provide them the love and care they need while their owners are away. I am currently going to start sonography school and I am not able to work a full-time job as a result I would love to watch your babies.I usually like to go for walks so it would be easy to fit any animal in my schedule as well! I have a big teddy bear of a dog that is the most spoiled rescue dog ever! If i am staying at the owners house I let them feel comfortable sleeping with me and I always clean up after myself if at someone else’s house and make sure to always keep the house tidy!
“So grateful for Cheri’s care for understanding Tibby’s needs. With our dogs anxiety, she allowed the time for him to grow comfortable with her while providing him a safe, comfortable and fun environment. She played with him and took him for walks and shared photos throughout the day. Thank you for taking such great car of our boy.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs for years as well as house sitting for friends and family over the years! I was also a puppy raiser for guide dogs for the blind and have some experience training! I’m currently working part time so I have lots of extra time to spend on your pups! I am available to housesit on the weekends and hope to do walks during the day! I have had a dog my whole life and I was a puppy raiser for guide dogs for the blind so I have a little experience training pups!
“This is our second time working with Diana and we can’t recommend her enough. Our old dogs can be pretty high maintenance, but she does a great job caring for them when we’re away. Thank you!”
“Carrie was wonderful with my one year-old Maltese dog. She made sure my dog was well taken care of . Carrie stayed at our house for one week while we were on vacation and was very responsible.”
“OMG! Alejandra did such a good job. The dogs loved her. She was responsive and sent updates and photos each day, which set my mind at ease. I will absolutely use her again and will definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting. Thank you Alejandra”
“Kaila recently house sat for us, taking care of our young energetic dog and two middle aged cranky cats. She did a wonderful job! We got regular updates and photos about all the pets, so we never had to worry or wonder. The most telling thing for us was how much more relaxed all three of our pets were when we got home. Usually when we come back from vacation, there is an adjustment period as they destress; that didn’t happen at all this time! They were happy to see us but seemed so relaxed and well cared for. We could not have asked for a better experience!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs, of course. I’m adept at giving medications multiple time a day if needed, as I supported one of my dog through the end of his life. If your dog is up for it, I love going on hikes as well! I often take my brother’s Aussie/ Border collie mix on hikes when I’m in the Bay Area. Ultimately, you’d be doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to take care of your dog. I miss having a dog around and would love to give some affection and attention to yours 🙂 I’m a graduate student in her clinical phase so my schedule varies! Currently, I’m off Friday-Monday and have a lot of free time. I will update my schedule regularly with my availability. My apartment has a dog park so your dog would get a lot of outside time along with their walks. If you have any favorite toys that your dog likes, please provide them! My goal is to make your dog feel safe and comfortable.
About: I've lived with animals ever since I was a baby, but I've been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was 10, I am now19! I'm currently going to school to be a veterinarian so taking care of fur babies helps me stay motivated on my long journey. Right now my college is on summer break! So I'm free until night/evening time, when my team has practice for two hours, but other than that, I really don't do anything. Your fur babies will have my undivided attention! When I enter your home and meet your fur baby(ies) for the first time, I will give them the time and space they need to adjust to me. Once they open up, I'll give them all the love and attention they need, and follow the instructions you leave for me to a T. Your pets care and comfortably is the top priority for me.
“Our pets, Cali, Keira & Lobo, are so lucky to have Dominic and Mariam take care of them when we travel. We receive lots of updates with pics and videos, that show how well they are doing. It’s peace of mind knowing they are loved and well cared for while we’re away. We are repeat clients and recommend them highly.”
“I had the pleasure of having Hunter and Elia house sit and take care of my fur babies -first time ever having a house/dog sitter and I am very happy. Hunter sent pictures and took care of them wonderfully. I will definitely hire them again . They are so sweet and friendly and professional all at the same time! Loved them!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, fish, and other beloved pets — learning that every animal has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and lovingly care for their pets while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, active, and genuinely loved in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like family. As a gentle added touch, I’m also experienced in animal reiki, which I’m happy to incorporate during visits if welcomed by both pet and owner to help encourage relaxation and comfort. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and reassurance, I’ll meet them where they are with love, warmth and care. I currently work part-time. I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am available most days and weekends, including most holidays. I have a fenced dog-friendly where your dog can roam and play. I have a beautiful lawn and a beautiful tree lined neighborhood for long walks.

About: I have cared for birds, lizards, dogs, cats, and even fish! I absolutely love animals and love to give them a safe person to be around while they’re missing their people! I’d love to be the one to help you babies feel comfortable while your away! I only work part time so I can be with your fur babies for most of the day! I have a dog of my own that me and my roommate share custody of! So I know how much time taking care of pets can be and will ensure I’m with your animals most of the time! I will take your dogs for walks and play Laser with your kitty cats!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Byron on Rover is $40.13 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 3,602 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Byron. 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 Byron 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 Byron 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 Byron 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.
