“Natalee was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time ever using Rover or any similar service, and she completely put all of our worries and concerns at ease. From the very beginning, her professionalism, communication, and genuine care stood out. She was incredibly accommodating, understanding, and kept us updated throughout the entire process, which gave us so much peace of mind. We truly could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
“Betty was great with our house and our boys! She was attentive to the extra needs of our 2 dogs and kept in contact with us. Our house was left in the same condition we left it! Betty is a gem!”
“Thank you so much for the peace of mind while I was away from my fur babies!! They were so well cared they hardly missed me! Timmy loved the walks and cuddles 🥰 and Olivia seemed to enjoy the fireplace with you! See you again soon”
“Wini is a terrific dog and house sitter. I’m not certain, but I don’t think she ever left our house while she was sitting for us. Which is great; our two shepherds were seldom (if ever) alone. She gave us plenty of feedback during her stay, and it was clear she enjoyed our dogs. It was also clear from her updates and photos that our dogs didn’t deviate one bit from their normal routine. This is *SO* much better than kenneling them. There are some great kennel operations around Spokane, but nothing comes close to this. When we returned, I’m not sure our dogs even missed us (kinda sad about that part!). Our house was left in immaculate condition. Wini gets our highest commendation, and we will be inviting her back.”
“First experience with Rover and we are so pleased to have had Sean watch our two pups! Our 80 lb girl is standoffish, but she immediately went to Sean and followed him around. Our 100lb boy immediately claimed Sean as his best friend. Sean was very good about keeping in contact and sharing pictures. He spent a lot of time playing outdoors and giving them quality time indoors. Working from home allowed Sean to stay and that was very important to us. We found Sean to be a warm and compassionate person and absolutely the best person for us! If you want the best for your pets you need Sean! We are very grateful to have met him!”
About: I am a big animal lover and can help with many things needed to give your animal the best care! have had many pets throughout the years; Cats, dogs, rabbits and chickens. I have also helped watching others pets. I have been a stay at home mom and with my kid going back to school I will have plenty of time available throughout the week. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a big yard in a great neighborhood. I have chickens as well as an indoor cat that is 9 years old.
“Angee is so good with my pup and her communication and photos and all are most assuring when I’m gone! I feel fortunate to have found her and will definitely ask her back time and again!”
“Jennifer has stayed with my Puggle, Toulouse, twice now in our home and I plan to request her again in the future. She is responsive when I reach out and she sends daily updates of how he’s doing. Toulouse is comfortable with Jennifer and loves playing tug of war with her (a great sign)! When I’ve returned home my place is just as good as I left it and my boy is happy. I couldn’t ask for more. I whole heartedly recommend Jennifer!”
“Mika was great. We have a high energy dog and she kept him challenged and active. Mika was so easy to work with- she did a home visit to meet n greet, asked great questions and calmed our nerves over leaving our dog at home. We plan to use her again next time!!”
About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always grown up with two or more in my home. I currently have two wonderful Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I understand the daily care, exercise, patience, and attention dogs need to be happy and healthy. I've been walking dog Ince I was 8 years old and have spent years house sitting and caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll care for your dog as if they were one of my own. I'm dependable, attentive to each dogs individual needs, and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pups! My shifts are never longer than five hours, so your dog won't be left alone for long. Mornings are when I have the most availability, making them perfect for walks, drop-in visits, or daycare. I'm also available for weekend boarding and will do my best to be flexible to fit your schedule. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! When I'm caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh water, and meals on their regular schedule. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own--keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I know how important trust is when inviting someone into your home, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and getting lots of love while you're away.
About: I worked in vet medicine for 5 years at a clinic in Spokane. I loved seeing so many familiar fuzzy faces and their families. And baskets of puppies! I generally take care of pets I know in their homes. I am available for checking on pets, walking and overnights. Let me know what is comfortable and convenient for your family. I have a 3 year old and a 9 year old dog who love everyone and every dog. They have been around all the pets at the clinic and many dog friends.
“It can be hard to find a sitter that enjoys big dogs. Our big, goofy dogs love Clara! We appreciate that she let us know how they were doing and help them stay happy and on their routine (as it helps the smaller of our two dogs keep her anxiety down while we’re away). We will definitely call on her again.”
“Audrey did a wonderful job with our two rambunctious German Shepherds. She is a good listener, attentive, and punctual. We got lots of great feedback while we were away, and when she needed additional information, was quick to contact us. She was housesitting/petsitting for us - when we returned, house was immaculate. She approaches this work as a real professional. Happy we found her, and fortunate to have her back in a few short days!”
“Brooke did a great job with our fur babies and kept our plants alive during an unusual hot spell. We are fortunate to have a large fenced yard the dogs can spend time in, and Brooke made sure to bring them in from the hottest times of day for cooling breaks. I appreciated that she could spend the night at the house to be available for nighttime potty needs!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a baby, I’d say my experience in caring for them started at about 5! We had 6 family dogs when I was a child. I love to go on walks and have a furry friend to enjoy them with! Playing fetch and tug-o-war, and watching a movie together has always been my go to when at home. I have given meds in food before as well as ear drops, and eye drops! I am currently working from home, and have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule. My work can be done after pet services have been completed I will be caring for you pet in your home! Please make sure to have things your pet may need or want easily accessible for me! (Leash, toys, treats, food, medications etc.)

Payton took great care of our dogs even with a very last minute request. She was responsive the entire time and kept our dogs very healthy, happy, and safe! She was also a great guest and took excellent care of our home. We cannot recommend her enough and will gladly have her back whenever we need help!
Angelina was wonderful! She communicated clearly throughout the stay and kept me updated with photos of my fur baby, Roku, which I really appreciated. Roku seemed to really enjoy her company, and it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Angelina to anyone looking for a kind, reliable pet sitter!
Ella was great! She was so patient and understanding about my anxiety of leaving my dogs with a “stranger”. She came over a few days prior to the booking to meet me and the dogs. My very geriatric dogs seemed to relax around her way faster than they do with most people. She communicated well with me the entire weekend and sent me pictures and videos of my boys. When I got home my house looked the exact same as when I left it and my very needed dogs acted like I had never left in the first place. Thank you so much for being there with them Ella. Will absolutely book her again in the future.
We had an amazing experience with Paige! She took such great care of our dog and truly went above and beyond with keeping us updated, picking up thoughtful extras like treats and supplies, and even putting together the sweetest little display for us to come home to. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in such caring, attentive hands. We’re so grateful we found her and can’t recommend her enough. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a pet sitter!
Abigail is amazing! I have an easy but not-so-easy senior dog dealing with doggy dementia and Abby took care of my baby with such genuine care. Just the week prior to my trip I was so full of anxiety leaving my girl, but Abby did a phenomenal job keeping me up to date with her and easing any anxiety I had. I had a great trip, and London had a wonderful time with her new friend.
Liz was by far the best dog sitter we have had! I will absolutely book her again in the future. The dogs were happy, healthy and relaxed when we returned back home from a last minute trip so we could not have asked for a better sitter. She sent daily pics of the pups playing and updates on how everyone was doing. I would recommend her to house sit for everyone without any reservations. Thanks Liz again for house sitting for us!
This was our first time using Rover and we were honestly so lucky to find Curtis to watch our dogs, Daisy and Moxie, for few days over the holidays. We couldn't be happier with the experience. From our initial meet-and-greet, they were professional, attentive to our instructions, and clearly had a genuine love for animals. During our trip, Curtis sent daily updates and adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind. We came home to happy pups and a tidy house. It's clear they treated our home and girls with the utmost respect. We highly recommend Curtis and will definitely be using their services again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Country Homes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Country Homes on Rover is $43.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 761 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Country Homes. 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 Country Homes 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 Country Homes 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 Country Homes 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 with handling special pet needs in Country Homes. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
