“Brooke was amazing! She stayed at our house for 9 days watching our dog, our chickens, and a newly acquired gecko. She is an excellent communicator, keeping us informed every day with pictures and quick updates. She was an amazing houseguest, and left the house cleaner than when she got here. Our pets loved having her here and so did we. We will definitely book Brooke again.”
About: I took care of dogs and cats of all ages and health conditions. Administered pills and injections including insulin and subcutaneous fluids. No empty promises, just good service. I will communicate properly and timely. My work schedule is flexible and I am about to become empty nester. I work remotely and can do it from anywhere with internet access. I can follow your instructions precisely and provide feedback, photos and updates. I will play, walk, feed and comfort your pet so they feel loved.
“Highly recommend! She provided consistent updates throughout her stay and took great care of both our senior dog and our house. It’s a huge relief to find someone so reliable and caring. Five stars!”
“Olga was very caring with our senior dog, and very responsive. She sent updates and pictures everyday so we always know how our little babies were doing! Our dog is currently in the middle of cancer treatment so her care and comfort was paramount to us and to her. We are so grateful for that. Only complaint is that our cat’s litter box was not cleaned regularly, and he began peeing on other things in response. We did not remind her to do this so we will take partial responsibility but the smell was very strong and it was clear it hadn’t been cleaned. Otherwise, we would absolutely have Olga back due to the peace of mind we had while she was watching our fur babies!”
“I can't say enough good things about Sanya! After an initial meeting with us, she came and stayed with our two anxious rescue dogs. I think her calm presence and demeanor was so comforting for them (and us!) They seemed to warm up quickly and were cuddled up on the couch with her in no time. She was very communicative with us throughout our trip, with pictures and updates, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing our babies were in such good hands. Thank you so much, Sanya! We look forward to booking with you again!”
“Almedra is such a sweet heart, she took a very good care of our dogs, sent us adorable pictures and kept us updated the whole time she was here. Is was so clear how happy the dogs were with her. We will be definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Raquel took great care of my dog and left my home in pristine condition while house sitting. She was highly communicative throughout the stay and made sure that my dog went out for plenty of walks and had lots of indoor play time. My dog does not do well with other dogs and Raquel did a great job in avoiding any issues while on walks. I would highly recommend Raquel’s services!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I’m available for pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During these days, I have dedicated time to focus fully on each pet’s needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I prioritize safety and follow all care instructions closely. I keep a clean, calm environment and always supervise pets. I’m comfortable with crates, routines, medications if needed, and I provide regular updates to pet parents for peace of mind.
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Rasha! She stayed in our home for four nights caring for our lovable lab, Mason, and exceeded every expectation. From the moment we left, she provided regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was abundantly clear that Mason was incredibly well cared for and happy the entire time we were away. Not only did Rasha take exceptional care of our dog, but she also treated our home with the utmost respect—she left it cleaner than we left it! Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine care truly set her apart. We would absolutely hire Rasha again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Rasha!”
“Lindsey was absolutely amazing! Samson took to her immediately, which says a lot because he doesn't instantly warm up to everyone. She was so kind, patient, and loving with him, and it was obvious from the start that she's a true dog person. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely trust Lindsey to watch Samson again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog sitter!”
“Deanna was great. She checked in with us before and during her visit. We had her sit with our dog for a few hours while we went out. She took great care of him. Will definitely use again.”
“From our first meeting with Perry, we knew our beloved dog and cat were in great hands. Perry was extremely sweet, gentle and thorough caring for our senior dog and spent time getting to know our shy kitty, Eddie. Perry’s communication is excellent. She sent us lots of pictures and videos. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing our dog and cat were not just walked and fed, but loved on. Our home was kept tidy as well. She is definitely on our favorites list!”
“Rosemary took great care of my dog Beau. While I was away she provided me updates and pictures which made me feel at ease while I was away. When I came home the house was clean and tidy. I appreciate the love and care that Rosemary gave my boy.”
“Gabrielle was wonderful to work with. She was communicative, kind, and reliable, and I felt comfortable having her stay at my place and care for my cat. I appreciated her update once a day and would definitely recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since Middle School!

I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I have worked with many rescues, large breeds, and many anxiety-ridden dogs. I have administered meds and dealt with heartworm with my rescue. I have had experience w/many special needs & seniors as well. I am currently working full time. This schedule is Tuesday-Friday. Weekday evenings after 5pm are available and Sat, Sun, and Monday are all flexible time-wise I currently have my own dogs so I would not bring animals here. I will treat each client’s home as they prefer and I’m very adept at adapting to different routines and environments.

About: I've been cat and dog sitting since 2016, staying at friends and family members' homes to provide care for pets while they're away. From that experience, I've learned about feeding, walking, and giving attention to each pet's needs. I'm always curious to learn more about them and being a reliable pet sitter for the family. I also like to volunteer at the local animal shelter. I work fully remote. Sometimes, I go in the office if needed, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I can stop by after work or stay overnight during the week. I just need a heads up at least 3+ days prior to make sure it works with my schedule. I prefer to stay at the client's home while they're away, so the pets can stay comfortable in their familiar space and get attention during the day.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Countryside is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Countryside
Katerina is absolutely the best!!! I highly recommend her. She is a caring and compassionate person and your pet is in the best hands possible. She stayed overnight with my Bichon for two weeks and Chloe was happy and well taken care of. I never even once worried about her because Katerina is so amazing!!! I would absolutely request Katerina in the future without a doubt. Look no further for your pets care. Katerina is the one!
Brooke stayed at our house for 2 weeks with our ultra anxious dog + our friend’s dog. She was so good to them both and made our dog super comfortable. She communicated regularly with pictures and daily updates. We are so grateful we had a dog-sitter like her to take care of our pups and highly recommend her to anyone with an anxious dog!
Melinda may be the best pet-sitter we have known. She is thoughtful, thorough, and caring -- and a prompt communicator. Melinda came to our home for overnight stays for our two medium-sized, often-enthusiastic mixed-breed dogs, and provided the peaceful environment that they needed. We were welcomed home by two happy pups and a home in pristine condition. We highly recommend Melinda!
Nothing but superlatives. Prompt, communicative, responsive, and responsible. My pups took to Almendra immediately which made me immeasurably comfortable. She followed our instructions carefully and sent pics of their activity to ensure I was aware of their status throughout her stay. Will absolutely be a repeat customer.
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful. She took exceptional care of my cat, Mya, and kept me updated throughout the entire stay with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was kind, professional, communicative, and clearly cares deeply about animals. The biggest compliment I can give is that my cat, who is normally very shy and doesn’t trust many people, became comfortable with Jennifer. That meant a lot to me and showed how patient and caring she was. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would absolutely book her again. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pets. Thank you so much!
I can't say enough good things about Sanya! After an initial meeting with us, she came and stayed with our two anxious rescue dogs. I think her calm presence and demeanor was so comforting for them (and us!) They seemed to warm up quickly and were cuddled up on the couch with her in no time. She was very communicative with us throughout our trip, with pictures and updates, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing our babies were in such good hands. Thank you so much, Sanya! We look forward to booking with you again!
Meadow was amazing with Rex! She provided us with updates while we were away and took great care of Rex. When we came home, we could tell he was very happy and Meadow had taken care of everything including when Rex felt a little sick. Would happily have Meadow look after our pup anytime!
Very attentive and kept me well informed. Miss Muffin can be anxious and V did everything she could to make sure Muffin felt safe, reassured, and comfortable. Muffin doesn’t usually like men but also took very well to her partner. 10/10 would send Miss English Muffin back
Rachael was absolutely outstanding! From the moment she accepted the booking, she was incredibly responsive and communicative. Throughout the three days she cared for Parker, she kept me updated regularly, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She took Parker on multiple walks each day, made sure she was well cared for, and clearly treated her as if she were her own. When I returned home, everything was in perfect condition—my home was exactly as I had left it. Rachael is a true professional and an easy 10 out of 10. Reliable, trustworthy, caring, and attentive, she exceeded every expectation. I will absolutely be using her again and consider her my go-to pet care provider from here on out. Highly recommend!
We had an excellent experience with Carleigh as our in-home dog sitter. She stayed in our home and took wonderful care of our dog Ginger, providing plenty of love, attention, and companionship. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared, and the bond she formed with our girl was amazing to see. Ginger was happy, relaxed, and clearly adored spending time with Carleigh. Knowing our dog was being cared for by someone so trustworthy and affectionate gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Carleigh to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.
Rebecca is literally the best! She took care of my baby when she wasn’t feeling well even got her some rice and took her to a park. I don’t trust a lot of people but I trust Rebecca so much with my fur baby as I have to rely a lot of others helping me out, so again thank you so much! She my top sitter !

FAQs for House Sitting - Countryside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Countryside on Rover is $62.28 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 10,030 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Countryside. 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 Countryside 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 Countryside 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 Countryside 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 Countryside. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
