“Alyssa was fantastic. We just arrived home to two very happy pups. Alyssa did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and the house was immaculate. She was communicative and provided updates and photos. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Salem was able to help us with a last minute request. She was very clear with her communication and very thorough with our instructions for our doggies. She left our house in great shape! We would definitely book with her again.”
“Sophia is an excellent pet sitter! She has experience with senior dogs and I could tell when I met her that she would be the perfect sitter and companion for my two pups while we were away — I was not wrong! She followed my care instructions closely and provided consistent updates throughout the stay — I could tell the dogs were comfortable and happy with her from the photos she shared. She also left my house clean and tidy. I would absolutely hire Sophia again — she’s fantastic! Thank you so much, Sophia!”
“Kelly was wonderful! She was so communicative with us, sending updates and photos, and left everything tidy when upon her departure. We felt very comfortable leaving Moose with Kelly.”
“Meredith was great staying with my cat and housesitting for 3 nights! I got regular updates, both pics and video, and I could tell she liked hanging out with him, which was nice. Came home to a clean house. Would definitely (and hope to!) book her again.”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me with the special care of their beloved pets. For over a year, I worked in a lab-like setting providing daily care to a wide variety of exotic animals, including reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, and general husbandry for each species. I also have experience caring for senior animals, including administering medication and performing nail trims, so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra attention and care. I currently work part-time and am finishing up my Associate's degree, which gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week to care for your fur babies. On days I work an 8-hour shift, there may be a slightly longer gap between potty breaks, but I always plan ahead and communicate clearly so you know exactly what to expect. Providing consistent, quality care for your animals is a top priority for me, no matter my schedule. When I care for your pets in their own environment, I bring nothing but comfort and love. I give excellent cuddles and scritches, and genuinely enjoy enriching their day with play. I know when to be calm and reassuring, and when to be playful and energetic, adapting to match each pet's unique personality. Every animal I care for receives quality, individualized attention tailored to exactly what they need. Above all, you can count on me to be reliable and consistent, every single time.
“Victoria was awesome!! She house sat and watched our 2 little sr dogs, and the whole time was so communicative and caring! She sent lots of pics & updates so we had peace of mind our whole trip. The pups were so happy and well looked after. We have already rebooked!”
“Amy was the best sitter we could imagine to take care of our home and 2 fur babies! It was our first time using rover and she made us feel so comfortable with constant communication, pictures and updates throughout her stay. She treated our pets and our house like her own and we will 100% book her to watch them for any future travel we have!”
“Savanna took great care of our dog Herschel! She sent us tons of photos and updates and was very easy to communicate with while we were away. We'd strongly recommend her and would have her watch him again in a second.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life! I recently moved away from home for graduate school and am looking to take care of dogs and/or cats! I am a PhD student so am mainly looking for work on evenings/weekends. I can walk and feed dogs, take them on play dates or house sit over night. I am good with puppies and older dogs. I have taken care of/lived with puppies including a rescue puppy with some behavioral challenges and older dogs who needed some extra love and attention.
“Aiden did an exceptional job watching our dog and house sitting while we were away for a week. Our dog was clearly well-loved while we were gone, with plenty of outside time and playing. Aiden kept us posted with updates and pictures, and asked insightful questions that showed how on top of things he was. He was very respectful of the house and left it in great condition. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for pet care!”
“Nicole stayed with our fur baby while we were out of the country and she did a great job! She followed our instructions and made sure our pup was well cared for. I highly recommend her services!”
“Emi was lovely to meet, and did a great job taking care of my two dogs. She stayed here during a tropical storm, and handled the situation beautifully. I could see from the photos Emi sent that my babies were happy and well cared for. My dogs and my house looked great when I got home.”

Olga & Stepan were excellent! They cared for our 3 pets (two cats and dog) while we were gone for the day—they gave the dog her daily pill, took her out, played their special game, and even went above and beyond to leave the house better than when we left it. We are looking forward to having them back for a longer visit.

Our two dogs loved Christina and she did a great job with them. Christina stayed in our home to take care of our girls. She was very conscientious and responsive. We had trouble with our flight returning and Christina was a big help. She stayed and fed our girls so we didn’t have to worry about them while we were waylaid by our airline. I would 100% recommended Christina to my friends and family.
Olivia looked after our two 9 months-old kittens for almost 2 weeks while we were traveling. This was our first time leaving the cats for this long, but with Olivia we had a complete peace of mind. She is extremely responsive, considerate and absolutely LOVES animals! Olivia sent us multiple photos a day, putting our minds at ease that their bellies were full and they received lots of pets and cuddles 😁 I really can’t recommend Olivia enough!!
Lauren was absolutely amazing! Throughout the entire process, she was super communicative, thoughtful, and caring towards our boy. He warmed up to Lauren very quickly and we felt very comfortable knowing he was getting attention and care while we were away. I highly recommend Lauren and plan to reach out to her again in the future!
I would rebook Mason again and again! This was our longest booking with Mason, and she took such great care (as always) of our dog, Willy. She truly went above and beyond when taking care of him and even helped with a few extra visits and moments of care for Willy when I mixed up our travel plans. Mason is reliable, communicative, and is adaptable to any situation. She was also helpful in administering minor medication for Willy as he dealt with an upset stomach and kept me updated on his recover. I can’t thank her enough and will continue to book with Mason for as long as she’s in the area!
Aspen took care of my very anxious velcro dog for 4 nights, and I couldn't be happier. She checked in daily but didn't overwhelm me with messages. My dog was happy and healthy when I returned home, and the house looked just like I left it. I will definitely reach out to her in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Calvander
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Calvander on Rover is $42.18 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 2,776 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Calvander. 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 Calvander 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 Calvander 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 Calvander 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.
