“Robert draws upon his many years of experience to provide unparalleled care. My German Shepherd took an immediate liking to him. Robert took care our dog and home in an extremely professional manner, being prompt, neat and courteous while also providing constant correspondence. I highly recommend Robert for any dog care or house services. I couldn’t have been more impressed.”
“Clara was absolutely amazing! Our very shy dog warmed up to her much more quickly than he has other new folks. Our house was cleaner when we returned than it was when we left! Clara communicated with us a few times per day and sent photos. She even brought her own treats for our babies. Will 100% use her again!”
“Katherine was fantastic with our three needy, overly affectionate and quirky golden retrievers. We missed our dogs terribly but with the photos and videos she sent we could clearly tell they were getting all the love and attention they thrive upon. It was overwhelmingly evident upon our return home by how relaxed and content they were. We’re so happy we found Katherine!”
“Averi sat at our home with BooBoo for 4 full days. She did a great job with communication from beginning to end. I would consider using Averi again when the need arises. She left flowers and photographs of her adventures with my Boo”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, large, extra large and mini dogs. Love them all. I work especially good with high energy dogs that love walks. I am fully dedicated to your pets care! With 5 years of experience in Doggie day care and veterinary hospitals I am now full time Rover Pet Care! I believe home is where pets are most comfortable. I also know it is their turf so taking things slowly is my approach, I play by their rules and slowly gain their trust. I love learning about their favorite at home activities or favorite spots to walk!
About: I have taken care of friends and families dogs since I was a kid. I have had dogs of my own. I am semi-retired, so I will have lots of time with your dog. I have plenty of time on my hands. So I’m happy to have a dog to hang out with. I’m semi retired so I can conform to a pets schedule. I have a fenced back yard and love to play with dogs I pet sit. Your dog will be treated like they are my own.
“Once again Marry took excellent care of my fur babies and home. She truly is an exceptional pet sitter Sami, Ms Cleo, and Fiona are always in good hands when Marry takes care of them.”
“Amber did a wonderful job taking care of my wonderful dog Wes and my temperamental cat muffin. I felt they were safe and in good hands with Amber. She took Wes to the park. They had quite a few outings, she really loves animals.”
“Laura was fantastic! Even last minute booking her, she was so accommodating, kind, caring, and understanding to our situation. We will definitely be booking with her again, in the future, IF she’s available.”
“Joanna was amazing! My typically shy dog loved her immediately which made it easier for this nervous momma leave without worrying. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: Hey friends! 👋 I grew up with three dogs, where my love for animals began. There were always plenty of them nearby (mostly cats and our family dog along with neighbors’ dogs). As a late teen, I worked at an animal hospital, where I learned more about how to properly care for the animals (walking, feeding, bathing, etc). If I care for your fur babies, they will be treated as part of my extended family! Additional experience includes: - administering insulin injections -providing a calm and safe environment for overly anxious pets -caring for elder pets that might require extra attention and/or need hygiene assistance. Direct access to community greenbelt and easy to access walkways. Treats n extra play come included! I am currently working part time remotely. I have a lot of extra time to care for your fur babies because I create my own schedule. brick fenced yard with sliding door open to have even more space. super fun, private, safe, and quiet! perfect location to relax from the nearby busy area and peace of mind knowing the neighborhood is enclosed. I will be holding myself to the highest standard when your dog comes. Wherever, you may be, this is the solution to an stress-free trip or vacation. If I’m caring for your pets in your home, don’t be afraid to leave me detailed instructions! I know how important it can be to stick with a certain schedule, and that animals thrive in comfortable, safe environments.
“Jackie was on time and was a very nice lady. She was very thoughtful of Annie and my surgery she even offered to go to the store for me. She sent pics to me of Annie. I would definitely recommend Jackie to anyone. 😊”
“This is our second time Annette has watched our babies! The first was drop in visits and this time she did house sitting for our 3 cats and dog. She was great! She took our dog on her daily walks and gave lots of cuddles to our cats. Our home looked better than when we left. I would 100% have Annette watch out babies again!”
“Madison was absolutely amazing! She watched Ellie for my boyfriend and me while we were on a trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ellie adored her from the start! Madison kept us well-informed the entire time and sent plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond to make sure Ellie was happy and well-cared for. We will *definitely* be using Madison again. She truly is the sweetest, most caring girl, and we’re so grateful we found her! ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Continental
Finding a trustworthy pet sitter when you have a full house can be nerve-wracking, but Bob exceeded every expectation! We were initially anxious about leaving our three dogs—two large Rhodesian Ridgebacks and a tricky rescue dog with unique needs—with someone new. A neighbor highly recommended Bob, and we are so glad we took their advice. All of our initial nervousness completely evaporated once we saw how Bob handled our pack. He managed everything seamlessly and gave each dog the exact care, patience, and attention they required. While Bob's expertise is canine, he also looked after our two horses - and did an excellent job. When we returned, our home was in perfect order, the plants and our parakeets were taken care of, and the dogs and horses were exceptionally happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Honestly, I think they were happier staying with him than with us! We could not have asked for a better experience. Bob earned a well-deserved 5-star review, and we will absolutely be booking him again. Highly recommended! Thank you Bob!

This was my 13 year old Jack Russell Terrier's first time staying with a sitter for 4 nights. Kristen had a calming presence when she met Bella . Bella was immediately comfortable and friendly with her. Bella has some special needs that Kristen felt very comfortable handling, so all went well while I was away. I will definitely book with Kristen again when I have to be away from home, knowing my dog will be in good hands and well-cared for while Im gone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Continental on Rover is $76.25 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 963 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Continental. 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 Continental 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 Continental 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 Continental 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.
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.
