“Angelica was fantastic with our rescue girl Penny. She sent photos and updates and we felt at ease knowing that our girl was in good hands while we were away. We will book again!”
“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter and my doggie just loves her. I feel completely comfortable while traveling knowing that my dog is well cared for. Highly recommended.”
“We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.”
“Bill was absolutely outstanding. He stayed at our place while we’re out of the country for a little over a week. He took incredible care of our two golden retrievers and sent many updates and pictures of them. He was prompt and took great care of our house while we were away. We will definitely be booking Bill again for his services!”
“Aiden was amazing with our 2 dogs! They are a lot to handle at times but I could tell by the pictures that were sent they were having so much fun and were so comfortable. Would definitely recommend Aiden’s services”
“Taylor was truly incredible! We felt so comfortable leaving our four pets with her, and she handled them all perfectly! Some of them were on medication and had specific feeding instructions, which she perfectly handled. Our animals loved her instantly-even our shy cat was giving her cuddles the second day! She took care of our house and went above and beyond cleaning up litter and removing snow! I can’t recommend her enough”
“Paige took great care of my dog while I was away. She was respectful of my home and left it just as it was when I departed. I would highly recommend her to anyone, as she is great with the animals in her care!”
“Gave him 5 stars because the app won’t let me give him 10 ⭐️! Communicates frequently, took of my our high energy dog, and kept the house clean!!! Jeffrey was the best dog watcher we’ve had!”
“Jake is the ABSOLUTE BEST!! We have tried countless sitters and no one even comes close to Jake! We came to the happiest pups ever and the cleanest house. He is just so kind and considerate and great with our dogs. I can’t imagine ever using anyone else!”
“I can't recommend Sarah enough! She was amazing to our fur babies and honestly Winnie was totally spoiled with picnics and play dates while we were away. I hope we can have her back with us for our next trip!!”
About: I've been a lover and caregiver of animals since I was born. I grew up with my Huskey, Blue sleeping under my crib and growing up with me until he sadly passed when we were both 16. I am currently 34 now with 3 senior cats and a large knucklehead named Simba (pictured). My experience with animals runs from kittens to senior cats to stubborn miniature dachshund puppies to high energy escape artists like Blue. I would love to have the opportunity to love on your fur babies just how I love on mine. I work from home most days and can be available early in the morning before 9am, once mid -day if you're within a 10-minute drive and any time after 5pm. I am typically available all day on weekends and can be fairly flexible. I do care for my own 4 and would not be available for overnights. I have a large fenced in yard (approximately .5 acre) with privacy fencing that I'm more than happy transporting your pup to if they need to burn off some energy off leash.
About: I have had my own family dog, Mabel, since 2018. I have been pet sitting for my friends and neighbors for years. I’m always good for a long walk, playtime in the fenced yard, or just relaxing on the couch. I’m a college student home for the summer. I am available every day and night except Tuesdays and Thursdays 9-5. I am flexible to work around your schedule and what works for your pet. My friendly dog, Mabel, who is a Mini Goldendoodle will love to play with your dog in my fenced in yard. All pets will be cared for with my full attention and plenty of pictures will be sent your way!
“Daisy is such a lovely person and was so kind to my dogs. Both took to her right away. She followed feeding and medication schedule with no issues. She also sent us photos and checked in every day. My dogs love her and we are so appreciative of her taking care of them with great care. I will be using Daisy in the future and highly recommend her. Maria B”
About: Family animals are very special to me, so I will make sure I treat yours with care and respect like I treat my own. I have been trusted to take care of many pets of friends and family. I love to be an active participant in pet care. I am very friendly and personable, while also being responsible. I will attend to every need you have for your pet, and stay organized so your home is at peace when you return. Hope to book with you soon! I am available weekends all day. Over the summer, I have more of an open schedule during the week - let me know, and we can work something out. I make sure to follow care instructions properly when taking care of your loved ones. I make sure to approach nervous dogs with patience and care, and make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible. I also will make sure your pet gets the proper exercise and play time as needed.
“Anna was a pleasure to work with! Super straight forward and easy to set up visits! She listened to all tips and tricks with our very lovely puppy who is QUITE the handful! Having someone who can take care of a playful, strong, and high energy dog while still showing them love and care is a special kind of pet caregiver! Thank you!”
“Nikki was fantastic! She was very professional, detail-oriented, and clear, in addition to being friendly and warm. A rare combination! We felt like our dog was in excellent hands, and he did, too!”

Nico is amazing a true dog whisperer. We have two sweet girls but one has a little anxiety. We got home and she is so calm and happy. I know he took them both on so many walks and sent tons of pics to calm my anxious momma heart while we were away. Would absolutely recommend and will use again. The girls loved him!
We absolutely loved having Ava watch our pups while we were gone for the day. She arrived on time (even with a last minute ask from us), sent lots of pictures and spoiled our pups with lots of love. 100% recommend Ava and we will use her pet sitting services again! Thanks Ava! :)
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Carolynn. She stayed the weekend with our girls and gave us wonderful detailed updates and the best pictures. Our dogs are a pair of opposites - one a demanding diva, the other very relaxed and easy going and handled both with care. We felt so good being away and knowing they were in such great hands. Thank you again, Carolynn!
Wow- Luisa took the absolute BEST care of my doggies! She walked them, hung out with them in our backyard, took them for adventures and even got them special toys and treats! She was an exceptional dog sitter with great communication, plenty of pictures and so much love for our dogs! They had the best time with Luisa!
Emre house/dog sat for our two dogs for the first time this week. One of our dogs requires medication and has separation anxiety. Emre took extremely good care of our boys, with frequent updates and photos. He was respectful of our home as well. May have even left it cleaner than when he arrived! We will 100% have Emre help us out in the future and highly recommend!
Sharon has watched our dog twice now at our home and she is the best! She is extremely flexible with timing, provides a ton of updates throughout our trip, and goes above and beyond to give our puppy attention and love! Our dog is a larger high energy pup and we feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her and cannot wait to book her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Connaughtown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Connaughtown on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,898 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Connaughtown. 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 Connaughtown 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 Connaughtown 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 Connaughtown 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.

- 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.
