“Selena took great care of our dogs!! She was great at communicating, the dogs were very happy and the house was tidy when we got back :) we would definitely have Selena watch our dogs again”
“Natalie was great! There aren't enough stars to rate what a good job she did dog & house sitting for us. We were impressed from the very beginning with her prompt response to our request. At our first meeting to meet us and our dog she came prepared to work with her supply pouch including dog treats. While we were gone, she was super responsive sending us multiple pictures daily and keeping us informed when she came and went. We felt confident our dog and our home were in good hands. We will definitely call on Natalie again!”
“She loves dogs. Susan is a great communicator, reliable and friendly and prompt. We could tell within a few seconds that our dogs were in good hands with Susan as their sitter. She did a great job letting us know that the dogs were happy and well cared for while we were at our event. We highly recommend her and will ask her to sit again the next time we are in the area”
“Wow! Alex was wonderful. Communicative, respectful, left our house nest and tidy and took such good care of our pets. I hope we get to work with her again and feel blessed to have found her.”
“Susan and Ian were lovely and took great care of my 4 cats while I was out of town for a few days. They both checked on the kitties and sent lots of pictures of them being loved on. I felt very comfortable being away which was nice because I was nervous about leaving them! I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future :)”
“Erica was fantastic! She and her daughter watched our dogs for two nights, and we couldn't be happier. They took them on walks and played with them, and it was clear they were incredibly well taken care of. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands, providing us with multiple updates and pictures throughout her stay. We'll definitely be booking Erica again!”
“Haley did a great job taking care of our very nervous pup and our home! She is reliable and communicates well. Our 9 year old rescue was very anxious meeting a new person, but Haley was able to win him over. I highly recommend her as a responsible, kind and caring person to take care of your pets when you are away!”
“Ayalene was great! I have a high energy Australian shepherd that has some separation anxiety and can be reactive on leash. She handled everything with ease and followed all my instructions! My dog and cats were super happy, the house was clean when returning, and it felt great knowing my pets and house were safe! Thank you Ayalene for all your help! I would absolutely recommend her and book her again”
“Abigail was absolutely fantastic watching our dog Sadie! She was communicative, gentle, kind, and treated our pup with the same love we do. Abigail sent regular updates and photos, which let us know Sadie was in great hands and loving life! We would highly recommend Abigail to anyone needing a sitter and will definitely be reaching out for any future needs!”
“We are very happy with house and pet sitting done by Hanna. She kept us well informed and helped make it easy to enjoy our time away from home knowing our home and pet were well cared for.”
“Allie took great care of our fur kids while we were on vacation. She asked really good questions before we left and communicating was easy, with quick response. We also appreciated the thoughtful photos/updates about how they were doing! Will definitely rehire for future pet-sitting needs.”
“Amani was fantastic! She took such good care of our dog, Hero. They went on multiple walks per day and she sent us tons of updates while we were gone. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and we felt totally comfortable leaving our pup in her care. She also took great care of our home and left it spotless when she departed. We will 100% use Amani again.”
“Emily looked after our 2 dogs and cat for a long weekend in our home. She updated me daily with pictures and let me know about any concerns she had with our one dog who has arthritis. We returned home to happy, healthy pets and a clean home. I recommend Emily to sit your pets”
About: I’ve always been the first to offer help when it comes to my family and friends dogs, although I’ve never owned my own because of my living circumstances I’ve always been extremely passionate about dogs and their behavior and I know quite a bit about them, including details about some breeds, mainly medium to large ones. Animals are a huge part of my life and I strive to treat every and anyone’s pets like they’re my own. I am a bus driver now and work MTWTF, off on the weekends. I do split shifts 6-9am and 2-5am but times may vary. I am perfectly okay fitting in your needs where I can. I will do my best to give your dogs my absolute full efforts to make sure they are happy and content. I have a lot of energy, so playing with dogs is never a problem. I can take them outside as much as needed and can provide the upmost care.
“Five stars doesn’t feel like enough for Mackenzie! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our dogs while we were away. We have a full house with four dogs, each with their own personalities, quirks, routines, and needs, and she picked up on who they were SO quickly. She spent tons of time actually engaging with them—playing outside, throwing their balls, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. We came home to four very happy, very well-cared-for, and appropriately worn-out dogs, which is about the best review they could give. 😂 Her communication was also fantastic. She sent us tons of pictures and videos throughout our trip, and it was incredibly reassuring to be able to see that everyone was happy and comfortable. I especially loved how quickly she started noticing and sharing the little things that make each of our dogs them. We felt completely at ease having Mackenzie in our home and caring for our crew, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. We’re so grateful we found her and would recommend her without hesitation!”
“Michelle took great care of my dog and two cats for a week. She sent updates and pictures at least twice a day. She took care of my house and plants as well. I felt completely at ease knowing my fur babies and home were in her care. I will definitely use her services again. THANK YOU MICHELLE!”

Look no further, Kim is the ideal candidate for caring for your pets and home! She tended to and nursed our dog’s untimely wound with no hesitation. We got regular photo updates and assurance while we were away. Returning to a clean home complete with clean sheets was a bonus. We highly recommend Kim and will book her in the future.
Kim was absolutely a blessing. As a dog mom that never leaves her babies I was so worried. Kim made the entire experience amazing sending photos and updates. By the end of our weekend I was so happy we chose her. Already booked another sitting. She took care of my babies and took care of our home, if I could give her more than 5 stars I would do 100!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cove Orchard
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cove Orchard on Rover is $44.4 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 4,012 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cove Orchard. 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 Cove Orchard 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 Cove Orchard 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 Cove Orchard 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.
