“Monique provided truly excellent care and attention to my 2 (challenging) dogs while house sitting for the past 5 days! So thankful for her patience while getting to know the dogs and establishing trust with each of them.”
“Ali communicated really well and sent us pictures of Jackson over the two days. She even took Jackson for a car ride, which he loves! She also put the sheets and towels in the washer from the bed she stayed in, which was really helpful and much appreciated!!”
“Rosemary spent 6 days taking care of the house and animals. She was very responsive, sent oodles of photos, and was very professional in all our communications. We will definitely ask her to come again. It's such a relief to know you can trust somebody to come to the house rather than stressing the dogs out with time in a loud pet hotel.”
“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!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Claire provided for our two dogs while we were out of town! She was responsive and kept us updated with messages and plenty of pictures, which helped put our minds at ease. It was clear she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dogs and they loved having her around! She followed the care instructions we left, made sure our dogs were well cared for, and even tidied up before leaving. Knowing our dogs were in such great hands allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. We’re so grateful for her kindness, communication, and reliability — we would absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Brandon was such a joy to meet and did an EXCELLENT job with my pup. Really appreciated the regular check ins, the photos AND the courtesy in taking care of my home. Everything at home was just as I left it, which has been so HARD to find with past sitters. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Shaheen was an absolute gem of a dog sitter! We were so thankful to find someone so thoughtful and reliable to take good care of our two dogs while out of town. He gave us regular updates and adorable photos of our dogs (clearly having the best time with him) and I felt complete peace of mind that they were in good hands.”
“Preston was great with both of our dogs! He was really knowledgeable with how to care for our senior dog and handle his medication and was available on pretty short notice! We’ll definitely want to rebook next time we go out of town.”
“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!”
“Jake was great! Inde seemed to really enjoy her time with him. We received updates while we were away, as well as pictures. Our apartment was also left completely clean. Will absolutely be booking him again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Laila quickly established a very positive rapport with our 10 year old black lab Milo, and after the “meet and greet” we were also confident and comfortable with her in housesitting overnight and caring for Milo. She was punctual and regularly communicated with us.”
About: From Yorkies to German Shepherds to Cat, we have 7 animals in our household. The female German Shepherds (Halley) and two of the cats are my fur babies. I’ve been taking care of my sisters dog and cat as well for the past few years while she’s been overseas. All of our fur babies we’ve had since they were baby puppies and kittens. Message and we can discuss timing that works best for everyone. I'm able to easily take off work and have open during my off days Rest assured, I prioritise building a trusting relationship with both you and your beloved pets, ensuring a safe and secure environment while providing attentive care during my service.
“Outstanding service from Jess. I received daily reports and pics of my little fur baby. Gave me assurance she was in good hands. Highly recommend Jess as a trustworthy pet sitter”
“Ana was great! It was a last minute booking and she asked all the right questions to make me feel comfortable leaving my dogs. She spent so much time with them and followed all of my (many) instructions to a tee. Very much recommend!”
“Super responsive and communicative. Very flexible and understanding of my anxious pup. Left house spotless. Provided daily updates and photos. Will absolutely book again.”

Brooke is an outstanding caretaker of our dog, Zoey. Brooke is extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviors and is absolutely fantastic with our fear-based reactive dog. She gives us daily updates with photos, giving us peace of mind that our dog is so well cared for. Based upon her feedback, we see and know that Zoey is secure and happy under the care of Brooke. We recommend her highly!
Melinda house sat for us and took care of our dog Adele, right before we were scheduled to leave town Adele hurt her neck and had to take medications, I advised Melinda and she said it wouldn’t be a problem at all to manage her medication while we were away. Melina also washed the sheets in the bed she stayed in along with the towels she used, we came home to a clean home. We would definitely book with Melinda again.
Evelyn was absolutely wonderful! 🥹🤍 This was my first time having someone stay in my home to take care of Nacho, and Evelyn made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She was incredibly sweet, communicative, and thoughtful, and I felt so comfortable knowing Nacho was in good hands. It’s not easy trusting someone with both your fur baby and your home, but Evelyn truly put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful for her help and happily booked with her again for another upcoming weekend. Highly recommend!💕
Shaheen was an absolute gem of a dog sitter! We were so thankful to find someone so thoughtful and reliable to take good care of our two dogs while out of town. He gave us regular updates and adorable photos of our dogs (clearly having the best time with him) and I felt complete peace of mind that they were in good hands.
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!
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

FAQs for House Sitting - Countryside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Countryside is $63 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $111 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 9,940 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Countryside. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
