“Ellie is awesome! She stayed at our home with our three cats. She befriended our cranky old man & took excellent care of our boys. Ellie kept in contact with photos & updates of the boys. I greatly appreciate her care & support allowing me to feel comfortable while traveling. I will most definitely plan any future trip around Ellie’s availability to look after our guys!”
“Sophie watched my dog for 4 days while I was on a trip. She's also walked her a number of times for me. No complaints. She did a great job. My dog who is normally very skittish warmed up to her very quickly. And she was happy and healthy on my return.”

“This was the second time Jazlynne took care of our beloved Jack. She stayed at our home & feed Jack a special diet. She also gave him daily medications. She took time to play frisbee with him. Jazlynne took wonderful care of both Jack & our home. She is conscientious & communicates in a timely manner. I highly recommend her & will certainly look to hire her again.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and absolutely love getting to know each pup and their individual personality! 🐾 My experience includes everything from drop-in visits and walks to overnight stays and pet sitting for weeks at a time. I’ve cared for dogs of all different ages, sizes, breeds, and needs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my care and routine to what works best for each dog. I also have two pups of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I treat every dog I care for like one of my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, love, exercise, and companionship while their family is gone! 🤍 I also have a small dog, Tulsa, who you may see in some of my photos! I love bringing her along when appropriate and when families are comfortable with it, but she will always stay home unless we’ve discussed it beforehand. I’m currently a graduate student with classes primarily in the evenings Monday–Thursday, which leaves me flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet care! My schedule can vary some from week to week due to clinicals, but I keep my availability updated and am happy to coordinate around your pet’s usual routine. 🐾 I always treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own! I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions. I prioritize safety, lots of attention, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and pictures for some extra peace of mind!
“Greta watched four pets for us and she was great! Came back to a clean house and all the pets were happy and comfortable. She sent us updates and pictures, where all the pets were snuggling up to her. So pets approve too.”
“Ella was awesome with all three of our critters. She was very communicative, flexible and was able to do this for us SUPER last minute. She took some super cute pictures of the kiddos for us as well. We appreciate her so much and will ABSOLUTELY be hiring again.”
“Katherine was amazing! Stayed in our home for a week taking care of our hound dog Monet. She sent updates and photos daily. We came back to a clean house and happy pup. We highly recommend Katherine”
“Julia was terrific! Our Stanley can be a little shy around new people, but she came and met him before spending several nights with him, and the second time she came he was so excited to see her! She sent us daily pictures, took him on lots of hikes, and took such great care of our little buddy. We are so thankful for her and won’t be using anyone else!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for 3 years now, starting with helping out with my family. But now I have been pet sitting for friends and family, and around 2 years I started working at a dog daycare, helping them out there! As a current nursing student, I am willing to work on a schedule that works for you and your pup! I am able to help anytime before or after my classes, and even in between! When it comes to safety, I am willing to do whatever is most comfortable for you and your pup. Whether this is crating your pup during the day or letting them out of leash outside!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 70 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Costigan. 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 Costigan 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 Costigan 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 Costigan 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
