“Carissa took such good care of our fur baby when we were gone for 5+ days on vacation. We hate leaving her and she normally travels with us so it was hard. Carissa sent timely updates and left the house spotless, I would highly recommend her to anyone. 6 out of 5 stars if I could leave that review. Ask her about her pet portraits, they are amazing and she should be making that an option as part of her services :)”
“Excellent communication and very respectful! Our dogs seemed to love her and we felt comfortable being away while she cared for our pups. We appreciated the pictures and updates while we were away. Would definitely recommend Reygan to care for your pups. Thank you, Reygan!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and I am glad it was with Kati!!! Kati was great with our Bennie Jet! She was sure to keep us updated consistently. Would 10/10 recommend anyone who is looking for a pet sitter.”
About: Hello! I am a licensed veterinary technician and have been for 20 years with a primary focus in surgery and dentistry and management. I love animals and have worked my entire adult life with them in some capacity. I have a 15 year old female spayed Chihuahua, 10 year old male neutered Portuguese Water Dog, and 2 cats, all indoor. I do not have the time or room to have more animals of my own which is why I would love care for your fur babies as my own when you are unable. This will allow me to enjoy more animals, of all breeds/sizes, but on a part-time basis...which is more accommodating to my lifestyle. Because of my veterinary experience and knowledge basis; you will not only be getting an amazing pet sitter, but one who can recognize a problem and address it appropriately if needed. I have the ability to bring your fur baby to a near by vet clinic if needed. I am currently working from home, so I have the ability to provide 24/7 care to your fur baby. I'm currently working remote, so I am available to provide pet care 24/7. I would rather late morning visits, drop offs....but can accommodate early morning with notice. I have a yard with an invisible fence and extra collars for dogs that use them. Otherwise I have a tie out in my yard for potty breaks. I have a litter robot for our cat friends. However, I keep pets inside most of the time for safety and comfort.
“GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH SKYLER! She home sat for us for a week and cared for our two dogs and bird. She did a phenomenal job with communication and giving them all the love and care that they are used to. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Skyler to anyone in need of a caring, considerate and responsible house sitter or anyone just looking to make sure their pets are well loved while away. We will definitely use her in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals of all kinds. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and a wide variety of other animals, including those with special needs or unique personalities. Being a wildlife rehabber for over a decade means I am accustomed to all species of animals and am familiar with proper handlling techniques, medical needs, dietary needs etc. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, medications, cleaning, enrichment, and providing plenty of individual attention. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and respect I give my own. I work during the day typically from 1230-2pm. Available any time after that to help however possible. I am available most days of the week. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely for feeding, medications, walks, enrichment, and household routines. I’m experienced with different personalities and temperaments, and I always take the time to let animals become comfortable with me at their own pace. I keep their environment clean and secure and provide plenty of attention while respecting each pet’s individual needs.
About: I’m a vegan raised by two pet groomers. I’ve house sat with dogs, cats, and other animals for humans with long weekends and holiday vacations for many years. I’ve walked and groomed dogs, too, along with various volunteer works at humane societies and animal shelters across the country. I love all animals! I am relatively open for pet care, and I am open to take any opportunities that are available for me. Does your animal need some extra hugs? I am here! I enjoy keeping near to the animals and making sure they are safe, secure, and loved. I believe that one must keep aware of how the animals are feeling and maintaining a healthy, happy connection.
“We had an excellent experience with our house/pet sitter, Gordon. I was nervous having a stranger in our home and with our pets, but from the start, he was great at communicating with me. That continued while we were away with daily texts and photos. It put our minds at ease knowing they were being taken care of so well. We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. He even went out of his way to schedule things around our dog who requires special attention and medication. Would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Taking care of pets is something I find rewarding because I love getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m comfortable with everyday care like feeding, walks, playtime, giving attention, and keeping their space clean. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I would love the chance to care for someone’s pets and give them the same love and attention I would give my own. I have experience with giving dogs oral medication and am willing to learn all of your pets needs. I currently have a flexible and open schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for pets. I’m available to accommodate different routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and other needs to help ensure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I know how personal it is to invite someone into your home and trust them with a beloved pet. I don’t take that trust lightly. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would want for my own, while making sure their pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My goal is for every client to feel completely at ease knowing their home and their furry family members are in caring, dependable hands.
About: I’ve cared for my family pets my whole life and started pet sitting in high school for neighbors with both dogs and cats. I now have two dogs of my own and treat every animal with love, patience, and care. I work 9–5 on weekdays and offer cleaning and pet sitting after 5 p.m. and on weekends. Message me to discuss your needs and availability! I take care to follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home and will ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.
“Skye was fantastic with our puppy. We were especially impressed by how attentive and proactive Skye was — taking the time to learn her cues and routines, working with her on training, and even noticing things that helped us after we came home. Skye was incredibly organized, communicative, honest, and took initiative whenever something came up. We came home to a happy puppy who had actually made progress while we were gone. It was very clear that Skye put a lot of thought and effort into caring for her, and we would absolutely trust Skye with her again.”
“Jordan is amazing. Our crew all love having her take care of them and are so relaxed when we get back. We love the great pics of them she’s able to capture and it’s always tidy when we come home which is an extraordinary feat because our pups love to roll in the dirt.”

“MaKayla was very responsible and took initiative to ask questions when directions were not very clear. She took lots of pictures and included a video. It really helped to know she was taking good care of our fur babies.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Byron is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $65 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
