“We booked Suzanne last minute to care for our two dogs in our home. Suzanne went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well cared for. She kept us very informed as we had asked for, and we felt confident they were in great hands. We will absolutely use Suzanne when we need care again!”
“Another great job staying with our sweet Lucy! Andrea is so attentive and loving, giving lots of belly rubs :) She even watered my flowers for me this time! Will always ask Andrea to stay when we’re away!”
“Joanna is the absolute best. We rebook time and time again. We recently added a new pup to our family, and she is a bit more stubborn. Joanna has taken the time to make her feel comfortable. This booking, we also needed to add an extra day and Joanna was so flexible with us. We always recommend Joanna!!”
“Mara is always terrific with my dog, Boomer! She stayed with him in our house for a few nights, took him on walks during the day, and I had absolutely nothing to worry about while out of town. She is responsive and always a pleasure to book with. I couldn't recommend her more!”
“Mia did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs. She communicated well and sent pictures of our dogs. Our home was clean and everything in its place when we got home. I definitely would have her again to take care of our dogs.”

Jessica regularly communicated with us via text/photos per our request. We would unequivocally utilize her services in the future.”
“Kelle took great care of our dog Luca for the weekend! She was patient and let Luca warm up to her on his own terms and kept us updated with messages and pictures. We would definitely have her watch Luca again!”

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have always had a special place in my heart for dogs. Growing up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and goats. From feeding and providing daily care to making sure each animal was safe, comfortable, and well cared for, animals have always been an important part of my life. I have also provided dog-sitting and pet care for family members and friends over the years. These experiences have taught me the importance of being dependable, attentive, and patient while caring for someone else’s pets. I am currently working as a nanny part time with days varying by week. I am available all weeknights after 4:30pm and most weekends Thursday-Sunday! I provide care in the owners’ homes, allowing pets to remain in a familiar environment with their usual routines, belongings, and comforts. I take safety seriously and will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, access to the home, and emergency contacts. I will also keep your home secure, provide regular updates, and treat your space and pets with respect.
“Diane was great - one of our biggest concerns is to have someone with our pups pretty much full-time, and to get on-going communication. She was great on both counts - she did need to leave briefly at one point, but let us know ahead of time, and followed our instructions for doing that, and she checked in frequently with updates, photos, and videos to let us know how they were doing! We have Diana scheduled for a short vacation sit, and feel confident that our pups will be well cared for in our absence.”
“Brittany was great with our babies! One of our dogs has high anxiety and she won her heart over very quickly! Both our dogs require daily medication and she was great with that. It is difficult to find someone with bird experience but she was wonderful with my green cheeked conure as well. She also left our home very tidy when she left. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”
“Kelly did a great job watching our dog while we were on vacation. Kelly kept us updated and sent us pictures everyday. Kelly also went above and beyond by shoveling the snow. Our dog was well taken care of we will reach out to Kelly in the future for dog sitting.”
About: We had a poodle and then a cat in the house when I was a kid. Since then I've lived with several different cats and have been helping to look after friends' pets of various species when they're out of town or unavailable. I completed a course by the Professional Pet Care Association to become a Certified Pet Sitter and Dog Walker. I typically start my primary job at 3pm so late mornings and early afternoons are great for drop-ins or walks. Thursdays and Fridays are my normal days off so I'm available to spend more time with your pets then. The Practical Stuff: Happy to come over and provide food, water, exercise, and scoop litter boxes for your pets. The Other Important Stuff: I want your pet to feel safe and cared for while you're not there. I love petting, cuddling, playing, talking and generally hanging out with any dog or cat that wants the attention. If you have other pets like fish, reptiles, arthropods, etc. I can likely help out with them too. Let's talk about it. I'm fond of house plants and have dozens of my own so I'm happy to keep them watered for you.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Byron is $43

We felt so at ease having Jessica house sit and watch our pup while we were away on vacation! She checked in with us daily and sent lots of photos to let us know our little guy was doing just fine without us, which is always such a relief to know while we're away! Thank you Jessica!!! :)

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
