“Carissa did an awesome job housesitting and taking care of our two cats! The place was clean and cared for when we were gone, and both cats were very happy. She was responsive and provided updates while we were away. We were very happy with her care!”
“What we most loved about Hailey was how quickly our animals took to her — our dogs were leaning against her within minutes, and even the cats who hide came out and let her pet them the very first night! It was comforting to leave our pets in the care of someone who clearly loves and understands animals. And though we ended up rushed and didn't have as much time as I wanted to orient her, she perfectly remembered and followed all instructions. We've already booked her again.”
About: I've always taken care of animals, my family has always fostered animals so even young I loved taking care of them and I even trained my own service dog but I really love animals. I get called the animal whisperer so I believe I gotta be pretty good :) I work part-time with school where I have a break every 1-2 hours so i have plenty of time to take care of the animals needs! Well honestly it depends on every animals different need. Some want more pets, some like treats, some like extra stimula or walks so it's up to the client!
“Kristen was right on time! We had a nice meet and greet with Bruno. She was very sweet and gentle with Bruno. He is timid because we just rescued him last year. We are working on him to trust her. Definitely will have her back.”
“Miranda was amazing with our two boys. We found ourselves in a pinch and Miranda stepped up and was a huge help. Very grateful for her communication and flexibility. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Charlotte took great care of my dog while I was away! My pup can be nervous with new people and takes a bit to warm up and she loved Charlotte! She was calm and happy when I got home! Will definitley book again!”
“Vi was wonderful to accommodate our last minute booking request. They came on time and were thoughtful and accommodating to our pets idiosyncrasies and needs. They were appropriately communicative. I would definitely book with Vi again.”
“Sukhpran IS AMAZING! She took such wonderful care of our old dog to the point where I swear she had been swimming in the fountain of youth while we were away!!”
About: I’ve lived on a farm, taking care of a variety of critters, since I was 9. I grew up with dogs, cats, and other farm animals, and was trusted to feed, walk, and care for them. I also have experience dog sitting, as I’ve done it for relatives and friends in the past. More recently I’ve gained experience volunteering at the Chittenden Humane Society, taking care of their kittens. As a full time senior at UVM, most of my weekends are free and I have quite a bit of free time during the week. I’m out of class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday by 11:00am, and every Tuesday and Thursday by 5:00 pm. I would be more than happy to spend that free time petsitting, whether it be a long walk or multiple check-ins throughout the day. In my own home, I walk my dogs twice every day(about an hour each time). On my family’s farm, it’s also my job to let out the animals, muck stalls, feed and water them, and clean them when needed. With my cats, they tend to graze, so I set out their food in different spots and they’ll eat when hungry. The chickens get let out in the morning to roam and put back in the evening. For people I’ve dog sat for before, I’ve done a variety of things depending on the dog. Sometimes it has been a check-in and make sure there’s food, water, and a potty break. Other times it had been walking or full-time care.
“First time using Rover and finding a non-family member to watch my dog. So happy I found Matthew! He was punctual, professional, asked questions, and gave unsolicited updates on my dog, it was great. My dog felt very loved while I was away.”
“Alex truly went above and beyond with our puppies and our quirky group of ducks and we could not be happier that we hired her!! She sent regular photos and updates, our dogs were clearly very loved and doted upon and relaxed, and I truly did not have a moment of worry while being away. She was super quick to communicate, left our house totally spotless and even washed bedding and towels for us. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Amazing job! Ale and Paul took great care of our three pets, a dog and two cats for a whole week. Our house was exactly as we left it. Communication was smooth and very reactive. I 100% recommend them and would book them again. Thank you!!”
“Christine is wonderfully attentive and responsive. My 10 year old doggie tends towards anxiety and she is really good at reading his cues and responding as needed. She has a lot of experience with dogs and it shows. I feel safe leaving my pup in her care.”
About: My family has always described me as an “animal whisperer” as I seem to draw the love and attention from cats and dogs. I have spent quite some time sitting for my family member’s pets. I would be honored to give your cat/dog company, plenty of pets, kisses, playtime, food, or whatever else they may need. At the moment, I am very flexible especially if you live in Essex Junction! Any day of the week works for me as well as most times of day. My own dog gets lots of play time inside, as well as leashed walks and runs. Whatever you need at your home, I can make that happen.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11. I have experience with training (to an extent), walking, feeding, bathing and playing with them :) I’m currently a student and working part time. But I’m always missing my dog back home, I will have plenty of time set aside to play with your pups. I care for pets in my home/clients home by ensuring they are happy and healthy. I do this through play time, baths, feeding, and exercise.
“Sophie stayed with our Border Collie and 2 cats while we were gone and she was truly wonderful. She gave our pup good long walks and her calm presence even managed to coax our very skittish cat to come out of hiding. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. We don't leave the animals often, so when we do, it's very comforting to know that they're in good hands. She also left the house in perfect shape. We highly recommend Sophie!”
“She took fabulous care of our pup and sent regular sweet updates. She also stayed in our home and took great care of the house (and a few houseplants!) as well. Highly recommend!”
“Jaime was wonderful with my Tucker! I immediately felt comfortable during our meet n'greet, while she remained communicative throughout my entire trip and sent pictures of my happy guy. I would love to have Jaime watch Tucker again when I go away!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cozy Corner is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cozy Corner
Haley did a wonderful job while we were away, she certainly exceeded expectations. From asking insightful questions at the meet & greet, sending pics, videos & updates to leaving our place spotless. It was obvious our cats & chickens didn't miss a beat while we were gone and were well cared for. It warmed my heart and relieved any reasons I may find to worry. Thank you Haley! :)

The average cost of House Sitting in Cozy Corner is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $128 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.

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 Cozy Corner 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 Cozy Corner 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 Cozy Corner 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 Cozy Corner. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
