“Kristi was the very best animal sitter we have ever had!!! Kristi watched our two dogs, (one elderly and the other a 10 month lab), our two cats and seven chickens for 2 weeks. At our meet and greet Kristi came in and instead of sitting on the couch, she sat our floor to be at our dogs level. As she told us about herself she showed constant attentiveness to our furry animals giving lots of pets and snuggles. Kristi is a great mix of calm, confident, intuitive and intelligent. She’s very good at her attention to detail as our animals require a little more maintenance being on a raw food diet. While we were away we received almost daily updates on how the animals were doing with cute stories and pictures. Our kitties whom rarely sleep with us, found comfort sleeping beside her which says a lot! We had a bad experience before with a different animal sitter which you think would make us feel uneasy being away for so long, but honestly we never worried when Kristi was there. We KNEW our home and animals were in the best care. After we returned home I had neighbors calling me with how impressed they were telling me how they always saw her walking our pups (even when it was super cold outside). We feel like we found a gem and feel so lucky to have found Kristi. Without a doubt I highly recommend her!”
“I was thoroughly impressed with McKenzie's exceptional care for Riley. Despite Riley's initial apprehension around new people, she quickly warmed up to McKenzie and remained calm throughout their time together. McKenzie's communication skills were excellent during her four-day stay. I can only give the highest possible recommendation and would definitely book her again.”
“Besides excellent care for our old gal, Blue, a HUGE plus is that Kim left the house looking like I had just stepped out to grocery shop and came back an hour later. The only " footprint" she left was a happy pup! Thank you, Kim!!”
“Kayla is amazingly caring and attentive not only to our precious pup, she took great care of our home while we were gone! Would highly recommend !! So grateful For her kindness and care!”
“We are very pleased with our dog and house sitter Kylie J. She was prompt with replies to our text messages and sent us photos and videos of our greyhound, Sadie, every day. She took her for walks and took care of feedings, medications and numerous treats that we requested for her throughout the day. The house was looked after as well. We will contact her again the next time we need a pet sitter. Thank you Rover, for the professional service you provide!”
“Great with the dogs, communication, and the house! On my list of repeat dog watchers. Plenty of updates and pictures, left the house cleaner than when I left. Will continue to use! Thank you for doing this on such a short notice.”
“Cailin went above and beyond our expectations while taking care of our 2 dogs. They were loved and we didn't have to worry about anything while we were away. I cannot recommend her highly enough! We have found a perfect sitter with Cailin.”
“We came home to one spoiled dog! Emily did a fantastic job taking care of both Sugar and the house - really appreciate it! Highly recommend her if you're looking for a dog or house sitter.”
“Erin was awesome!! She was quick with responding, provided pictures and updates of Max while we were gone and had a great fenced yard that Max loved 😃. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Madison watched our little dog Sophie, she is a senior, blind in one eye and is very shy. Within a short amount of time had her sitting on her lap. We were so impressed and excited that they had connected. At the meet and greet she was very professional and took notes of all of our request, plus had her own list of great questions. She sent pictures of our little one everyday and comments of how she was doing. And when we returned from our trip the house was just as we left it very clean and the sheets were washed and on the bed. She also, checked in with us right before our return to make sure our plans and times had not changed. We would highly recommend Madison and we will definitely use her again. Thank you so much Madison for taking such good care of our little girl….”
“Britney watched our dog Rosie for a few days while we were out of town, she followed all our instructions to the T, reached out when she had questions and sent us lots of wonderful pictures. We returned to a spotless home and a happy, happy dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with this duo again, it was an excellent experience!”
“Danny did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies. We have two large Irish Wolfhounds and two pampered cats. He did not shy away from the challenge. The dogs loved him and enjoyed their long walks. Danny was great with communication… asked questions I didn’t even think about before we went out of town and communicated regularly with us with any questions that came up. Highly recommend him.”
“Hannah is heaven sent. Our dog got into a scape thru our fence with a neighbors dog and Hannah handled it all so well. She contacted us immediately and took great care of our dog until we got home. As upsetting as it was, she was calm and respectful. Thank you Hannah! As my husband as said more than once, “Hannah is our girl.””
About: I've always loved animals! I worked at a Grooming and Boarding business for 4 years and I have done personal in-home pet care for many friends and clients. I'm currently flexible with my work hours and I'm looking for something extra to enjoy. I can be flexible with week days and weekend hours. I am happy to follow any preferences of my client, when caring for your fur babies. I'm responsible and caring, and enjoy showing extra love.
“Katie dog sat for my 2 dogs for 2 nights in our home. She made sure my dog with a heart condition took her meds 4 times per day and took them for walks. She made sure they were fed and sent me messages on questions or comments she had. Our home was left in tact the way we left it. Thank you Katie for sitting with our dogs!”
“Sara took great care of my senior Shih Tzu and my home. She communicated with me almost daily over a 6 day stay, plus she was aware and didn’t object to me having a camera on the living room so I could check in on my dog at will. My dog looked like he got along with Sara very well. She did drop ins a couple times prior to the week long stay and that really helped prepare my dog for my absence”
“Wendy did a wonderful job and we were able to take a 3 day vacation knowing that our little "older" dog was in good hands. She does an awesome job of sending you photos and letting you know your pet is following their normal routine and enjoying the time they spend with her. We would recommend her to anyone who has a pet that normally takes a while to warm up to new people. The first time Wendy met Chip, it was "love at first sight". Thank you Wendy!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Caldwell
We were so happy with Rebecca. She did an excellent job caring for our Yorkshire Terrier, Lumi. Lumi is old and has several issues. Pancreatitis, arthritis, loss of vision, and loss of teeth and Rebecca handled all of them just as we had instructed. She hand fed Lumi, gave her prescribed medication, when necessary, and, in general, did a great job. I would not hesitate to recommend Rebecca to anyone, espcially if you have an older dog that needs special care. She even offered to come back and check on Lumi, if we got back later than expected. We are so satisfied with Rebecca, that we have already scheduled her for two more appointments.
Marissa stayed with my 2 dogs for 8 days, in my home. They normally have separation anxiety and one loses little clumps of fur whenever I'm gone. My girls were happy, healthy and I found no clumps upon my return. Marissa followed directions and sent me some pictures while I was away.
Morgan was an incredible dog/house sitter. She sent me lots of pictures and videos of the boys (dogs) playing. You could tell that she loves her job. I will recommend her to any of my friends that ask me about her. This is the first time I used Rover, but it certainly won’t be the last.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Caldwell on Rover is $38.85 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 950 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Caldwell. 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 Caldwell 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 Caldwell 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 Caldwell 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
