“Destiny was wonderful. She watched all 5 of our animals. 1 cat, 2 senior Chihuahuas and 2 puppies. That is not an easy task. Upon returning home I could tell they were all well taken care of. The house was clean (which isn't easy with 2 puppies) and she even left music in for them when she left. A kind soul that I will absolutely trust my animals with again.”
“Rosa was so wonderful with my two cats, she took her time to make them feel comfortable and gave them lots of attention. She did a great job of sending photos and providing updates to keep me posted on how the visit was going. I will definitely book Rosa as a pet sitter again in the future!”
“Penny was so amazing! She went above and beyond what we asked and helped us out when we were in a real jam. Isabel loved having her and we can't wait til when we need her again.”
“All of our animals - 3 Labradors and two cats - love Kelsie!! She took good care of them while house sitting during our 10 day vacation. She was great about communicating and sending photos, and we never had to worry. As a bonus, we returned to an immaculate home, as if just cleaned by a professional service. We will for sure use her again.”
“This is the first time using Rover. Rhiana reached out before accepting and we did a meet and greet. Our three beagles felt comfortable with her right away. She was super responsive and communicative. We got texts everyday. She stayed longer each day than we expected. Our dogs enjoyed having her at the house. The pictures she sent proved it! I recommend her for anyone!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience with all aspects of pet care. I’m reliable, active, and comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I love giving pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve, and my flexible schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own! I have a very flexible schedule and am available anytime, making it easy for me to accommodate different pet care needs. I’m able to work around your schedule and provide consistent, reliable care when you need it. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every dog in their home. I’ll respect your space and your pet’s routine, follow your care instructions closely, and make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jennifer is wonderful. Communicates clearly and is gentle and soft spoken with my high energy Frenchie. I can go to work knowing he is in good hands. She sends updates and pictures during her time at the house and leaves things in order. I would recommend her.”
“Olivia was incredible! We originally did not have the expectation for her to spend every night here but our dog was barking throughout the first night and our neighbor talked to her to make sure everything was okay. Olivia not only let us know first thing in the morning, but stayed every night after that even though that was not her original commitment! She will go above and beyond! 10/10 would recommend:)”
“Amy house sat our two big dogs while we were out of town. She is a fantastic communicator and she clearly loves dogs! She is very professional and thorough, asked us tons of questions about our habits and preferences regarding our dogs. While we were gone she sent photos daily and little updates. Highly recommend, will definitely use again! Thanks Amy!”
“Elora really helped us out when our previous sitter was beyond disappointing. It means so much to have someone love your pets when you are away. We feel very confident in her abilities to take care of our babies like we would. Will for sure reach out to her again!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Caitlin! She went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier! Her communication was fantastic. She was professional, thoughtful and a great house sitter overall. Most importantly, all of our dogs and cats were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Caitlin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have always loved just being around animals. While I'm away from home, I'd love to spend some time with dogs and help give them the best possible time I can! I'm a college student, so my schedule shifts a bit with the seasons, but pet care fits in easily either way. Over the summer, I'm home essentially all day, every day, so I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins whenever they're needed. This fall, I'll be taking classes again, but since they're online and my schedule is very flexible, I'll still have plenty of availability throughout the day. While I don't currently have a pet of my own, I've spent a lot of time caring for others' animals and understand how much consistency and attention matters. I'm happy to work around your pet's existing routine, whether that means a set feeding schedule, a mid-day walk, or just extra company during the day. Since I offer dog walking and house sitting/drop-in visits rather than boarding, most of my pet care happens in the client's home and neighborhood, so I always make safety and comfort a top priority there. Before any visit, I like to get a clear understanding of the pet's routine, any commands they know, leash behavior, and specific instructions from the owner. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of traffic and other animals, and avoid unfamiliar areas that could pose risks. For house sitting and drop-ins, I treat the client's home with the same care and respect as I would my own, making sure doors and gates are securely closed, food and water are refreshed as needed, and any medications or special routines are followed exactly as instructed. I also send updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for while they're away. At my own home, I have a fenced yard and no other pets or young kids, which makes it easy to give a visiting dog calm, focused attention with minimal distractions or safety concerns.
About: Hi, nice to meet you! As a fellow pet parent to a 7 year old German Shepherd mix and an 11 year old cat, I know how much peace of mind it brings to find someone you can truly trust. With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience, my goal is to become your pet’s (second) best friend and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I care for pets of every shape, size, and life stage! Whether you have an energetic puppy or kitten, a sweet senior who needs gentle care, or a three-legged companion with unique needs, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I also have a soft spot for pets who are anxious, timid, or reactive and need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications, and giving every pet the time, space, and attention they deserve. My dog occasionally joins me on sits when everyone is comfortable around other dogs, but she absolutely doesn’t have to come along! I always have care arranged for her at home, so I can accommodate whatever setup works best for your pets. Want to check out my reviews? ⭐ This Rover profile is new because I’m expanding my services across multiple regions in Oregon, but I’m happy to share my primary Rover profile so you can read my 5 star reviews and feedback from previous clients! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra hand ❤️ I’m currently taking a step back from full-time teaching to focus on substitute teaching, tutoring, and pet sitting! This gives me a more flexible schedule, allowing me to plan ahead and make sure your pets get all the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. Whether you have an energetic dog who loves long walks or hikes, a senior pet who needs medication, or a cozy cat who just wants some company, I’ll treat your pets like mine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to be more than just a sitter. I want to be a reliable sitter you can count on, and be your pet’s second best friend! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet and follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual routines. I’m especially comfortable caring for anxious, timid, or reactive pets and understand the importance of patience, reassurance, and giving them space when they need it. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands!
“Jacqueline was so great with my pup and my mom's dog who was in town for the weekend. We needed her for long hours three days in a row and she was so excited each day to come back and hang out with them. We absolutely will be rebooking with Jacqueline again.”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life! I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, cows, goats, chickens, etc. I’ve pet sat for many of my friends and have references that can vouch for the care and effort I put into caring for their pets. I’m currently in university but I have an open schedule for drop ins, walking, and house sitting! I’m very flexible when it comes to scheduling so don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m able to adapt to most dogs energy especially within their own home. I believe dogs deserve to feel comfortable and safe within their homes and I do everything I can to accomplish that.
“Claire was an amazing sitter, couldn’t recommend more! My dog Evie didn’t want her to leave! Claire was very communicative, flexible with my arrival back, and was a joy to work with.”
“Another sitter in Rover canceled last minute and we found Kasandra and asked if she could do an overnight the next day. She agreed and did an amazing job keeping our dog and cat safe and happy. We don’t leave our dog a whole lot so we needed lots of updates to keep us at ease and she delivered. She sent pictures and updates and left the house clean and as we left it. We’ll certainly ask her to take care of our fur babes again! Thanks, Kasandra!”

Zoe was a great dog and house sitter for our 10 month old pup! She was communicative, took care of our girl and house, and even extended her stay when our international flight was cancelled last minute. Our pup was happy and healthy when we got back and our house was well tended to. We are grateful for Zoe and happy we have found someone reliable and caring! We would recommend her to anyone looking!
Emi was truly amazing with our pup Olive! We appreciated her strong communication skills and loved receiving pictures throughout the weekend. Truth- Olive ate better for Emi than she eats for us!!😂 We will definitely be booking with Emi again- thank you so much!!
We are so grateful to have connected with Nicole for pet and house sitting! She has a very caring and thoughtful demeanor. Communication was prompt, consistent, and easy. Tango enjoyed all of the cuddle time and attention and we were relaxed knowing that he was happy at home. Our place is a bit quirky and Nicole went above and beyond to ensure we had a smooth re-entry. Thank you Nicole!
Avery was great watching over our two rowdy Vizsla's she was very attentive during our meet and greet asking all the right questions to make sure she got it right and what the dogs are used to during their normal day. She provided daily updates and pictures. All and all dogs where happy, house was in order when we returned. Thank you Avery!!
We had Rachel sit with our dog for the night. Our dog loved her. I always have some anxiety when I leave our Pom. Rachel sent me lots of pics which was very comforting knowing that our dog was happy and enjoying her time with Rachel. We will definitely be having her stay with our dog again. We can vacation knowing that the dog and house are in good hands with Rachel.
Bianca was great & we highly recommend! After our trusted dog sitter graduated, we were on the lookout for someone new who could be our go-to and we hope Bianca is just that. Her communication was excellent, she was so sweet to our pup, and sent pictures throughout. We will absolutely hire Bianca again for our pups overnight needs.
We could not have asked for a better experience with our dog sitter! From the very beginning, communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, and it was immediately obvious how much genuine care and attention went into looking after our pups. We received regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Returning home to a happy, well-regulated dog made all the difference—we will absolutely be booking again and cannot recommend Mariam highly enough!
Hannah was punctual kind and thorough! She took excellent care of my pup post-op, took him outside as many times as he asked and gave him lots of snuggles and reassurance. She provided frequent updates and photos and videos and clearly truly loves dogs. Can’t recommend enough! And the pooch approved too!
Erin was great, even when things had to change. Something in our house set off Erin's allergies, and made it difficult for her to stay there. So she brought Tucson to her apartment, where he was happy, mellow and snuggly! This has inspired us to board him from now on, so he can relax while we are away!

The average cost of House Sitting in Coburg is $28 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $56 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Coburg 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 Coburg 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 Coburg 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.
