“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!”
“I highly recommend Ann! She took amazing care of my two dogs while I was on vacation and she truly went above and beyond. She played with them, gave them lots of attention, and treated them like they were her own. She is incredibly kind and professional. She gave several updates every day with the best pictures of the dogs. She gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I appreciate her genuine care and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Hunter did an awesome job. He’s great about communicating, sending pictures, and ensuring you feel comfortable that your babies are being taken care of. I came home to my house looking exactly the way I left and my pups being happy and well cared for.”
“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.”
“Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and our home. She sent photos and updates. We can tell our doggie enjoyed Cindy, because it was if we hadn’t left when we got back. She was calm, relaxed and happy. Very happy with Cindy taking care of our pet and home!”
About: I currently have a dog and have had another dog previously. I currently work in special education and also support my mother who has progressing dementia. I intend on making sure needs are being met while maintaining and building relationships. I’m working full time as a teacher and going to school full-time. I currently walk my dog the morning before going to work and when I arrive home. I’m flexible on the weekends and some week days. Since I work for the school I get a lot of holidays and week breaks, so I am able to have more availability. I ensure their needs are met by taking them for walks, feeding them, and ensuring they’re using the bathroom. I also give baths to keep them smelling fresh.

I do work part-time and will be able to watch your home and pets over certain weekdays and weekends. I can also walk and take dogs on potty breaks. I’m also open to having smaller dogs stay at my house with a large backyard to run around and constant time for snuggles! I will constantly make sure that my client’s dogs are safe and taken care for. I ensure they are well groomed, walked, and given lots of attention and love. I am patient and forgiving with all kinds of pets. Everyone’s dog deserves to be loved and taken care of, even when their owners are away!
“Vanessa is a smooth operator! We hired her as our first house sitter & to look after our 2 cats and dog while we were away for a few days. She is incredibly warm, attentive & a great dog caretaker. Our pup & kitties didn’t skip a beat in their routine. Would recommend Vanessa & would book again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, including six Chihuahuas, a Pit Bull, and now a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd.

About: I’ve taken care of peoples dogs since I was kid. I do it partly for my own enjoyment since I love dogs and all animals. Being a mom to my daughter most of the week, but her and I both love dogs so if she is with me your dog might get double the attention. I have a fenced yard with shade and a pet friendly house when needed. On hot days I fill up the doggy/baby pool to cool anyone off.

“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”
“Communicated with us throughout our trip. We forgot to tell her to take out the trash cans but she saw the neighbors doing it so went ahead and did that for us. She took great care of our dogs and we hope to use her again.”
“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.”
“Hunter was amazing!!!! I plan to call her again when in need, and highly recommend to all. She was prompt with communication, and kept me updated with status and photos of both dogs daily. I am so glad I selected her as I was able to go on vacation with peace of mind.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Byron on Rover is $40.13 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 3,662 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.
