“Elisha was great. She wasn't intimidated by Arlo's epilepsy which was a huge relief to me. She seemed immediately at ease with the boys and they with her. When I got home my dogs were calm, happy and not anxious so I could tell that they were indeed comfortable with her. I will definitely book with Elisha again.”
About: I have grown up with animals always in and out of the house so I have a lot of experience. We also foster kittens and momma cats which gives me such an understanding of animals! I am currently a Full time student at Columbia Greene. I am unable to have a full job right now so I can focus on my studies. Being able to pet sit is helpful job for me. And I am happy to be able to help those who need it. In my own home my dog has a perimeter collar so she can roam freely. When I watch others dog I like to keep them on their leash and or stay outside with them while they okay or go potty to ensure they are safe.
“Jessica was great! Very communicative and knowledgable about dogs, especially doodles! We got daily pictures of Murph. It was a hot weekend so Jessica was kind enough to get up early and get Murph out and walk before it got too hot.”
“Ashley is so helpful and so kind. My senior dog is downright high maintenance, and she took special care of him and the others, too. Highest recommendation!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Katherine caring for our two cats. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and reliable. She kept us updated consistently with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she’s both experienced and genuinely caring - our cats felt comfortable with her right away. She was attentive to their routines and gave them lots of playtime and love. We came home to two very happy, relaxed cats and a house that was just as we left it. We felt confident the entire time that they were in safe, capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
About: I love both dogs and cats and have been able to provide in home sitting services going back to 2020! I’m in the process of bringing home my own puppy, but in the meantime I would love to meet yours. I work full time remotely and have a flexible schedule during the day for meals, playtime and walks. I’m happy to adjust to your pets schedule completely for the entire duration of my visit. In my client’s home, I have complete respect for all rules and preferences related to your dog’s routine! My goal is to provide the most continuous care I possibly can for them while you are away. For cats, I’m extremely respectful of their space as needed, but can also cuddle and play with the ones who love it. For puppies and younger dogs, I’m knowledgeable in training best practices (always gentle, force free and positive reinforcement based) and can encourage good behaviors that you’re already working on.
“Petra was very communicative about how things were going during her stay at our home and texted us pictures of the dogs which made us feel at ease. We have multiple terriers and she handled them with no issues. She is is knowledgeable about dog behavior and understood each dog’s personality and how to relate to each one. She treated our dogs with kindness even if they were naughty. I would highly recommend her and will be hiring her again.”
“Can’t thank Andrea enough for her help! I had her do some house sitting while I was away, so that my cat would have another person around, and from the start, she was wonderful with her communication, positivity, and also asking all of the right questions. Immediately gave me confidence that my house and cat were in good hands. Would 10/10 recommend her! Thank you for being so wonderful Andrea!”
“Ashley was great to work with! We came back to a happy pup and kitty. Our house was tidy after her 3 night stay. She was communicative and sent a photo update. She also brought in a bunch of unexpected packages we didn't think were due to be delivered. We would book with her again!”
“Alyssa is great! My pets and home were well cared for. My dog gets pretty anxious when I go out of town but he seemed very calm and relaxed when I came back. He seemed like he had a great time with Alyssa!”
“We recently had Sarah as our dog sitter for a week, and we couldn't be more pleased with her service. This was our first time using her, and she exceeded all our expectations. Sarah was not only amazing with our two dogs, providing them with love and excellent care, but she was also very communicative throughout her stay. She regularly updated us with messages and photos, which was such a reassurance that our boys were happy and well. Additionally, she took great care of our house, leaving it just as we had left it if not cleaner honestly. It's such a relief to find someone so reliable and attentive. We will definitely be calling on her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Sophie cared for our very active Australian Shepherd puppy, cat, and our home with love, skill, and the highest level of professionalism. She was very responsive and eased my anxiety over leaving my boys with pictures and prompt communication. I trust her completely.”
“Emily is AMAZING and did a fabulous job house + pup sitting while we were out of town. Her warm and caring manner instantly won our pups over and they had a wonderful weekend together. Emily’s proactive communications both before and during her stay here were very reassuring and appreciated. Can’t say enough great things and hope to use Emily many times in the future!!”
“This was Nina’s first time watching my dog Orla. She arrived right on time and immediately offered to help me with her since I was getting ready to go to a doctor’s appointment and running a little late.. She took Orla for a nice walk and sent me several pictures during her stay. Orla was very comfortable with Nina. I will definitely ask her to come back again.”
“Anna was wonderful with our high-energy 7-month-old Lab! She arrived on time, spent plenty of time outside with her even in the cold, and stayed for five hours. She followed all instructions and made sure our pup was fed lunch and dinner. We felt completely at ease and would absolutely recommend her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Climax on Rover is $108.23 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 615 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Climax. 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 Climax 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 Climax 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 Climax 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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
