“Sidnie did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our 2 elderly cats while we enjoyed a much needed vacation. The cats were well taken care of, and the house was left perfect. I definitely recommend Sidnie to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Sheila was an outstanding pup sitter! She treated my pups like her own and gave them lots of love. She also provided pics daily of them. We would definitely as her back to pup sit and recommend her to others. Thanks so much Sheila! We soooo appreciate it!”
“Deb did a lovely job with our 2 dogs. We came home after 2 weeks of vacation to relaxed and happy pets. None of the stressed out behaviors we have seen in the past when we had to kennel them. I would recommend Deb to anyone!”
About: I love dogs! I speak dog, as long as the tail is wagging, all is good in the world! I had a black mouth curr for almost a decade before my previous relationship ended and it was absolutely the best decision for him to keep my Charlie dog. He worked from home, so Charlie was already very close to him and I didn’t wanna break them apart when I moved back to Michigan. But I can’t have a dog now because of where I live so I am very excited to help anybody I can with their dogs. I will be a much happier person having taken on this Rover account! I work full-time and have four other gigs on the side. Rover is included in that. A lot of my work is to be done on my free time Rover included lol. I personally cannot have a dog because of where I live so I am more than excited to watch your precious baby for you! I love walking and hiking and I’ll throw a ball a few times! If your dog is on a food schedule you can trust that I will honor that. No snacks just for being a good boy? I will honor that lol. You leave me a list and itinerary of how to care for your fur baby and I will honor that. I am very cautious of how I take care of another person’s pet. I am very strict when I would leave my pets with someone. I actually printed out a care sheet and would hang it on the fridge. I will come prepared with a note pen and paper to write down any instructions that you have so I do not forget. That goes for taking care of your pet and your home, I am a very respectable person and like to have a good reputation I promise that I will do everything in my power to Abide by your instructions and to give great care to your pet as well as your home. I would expect anybody to do the same for me and if they wouldn’t, I’d be greatly disappointed, and I do not want to disappoint you!
“Sabrina did an amazing job house sitting and watching our German Shepherd while we were away for 5 days. Her communication is excellent and she was a tidy guest. We highly recommend Sabrina and look forward to hiring her again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for dogs, cats, fish, and sugar gliders. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’m patient, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I’ll treat your pets like my own and provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my schedule, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, or playtime, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need while you’re away. I’ll always communicate with you and provide updates throughout each visit. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep everything clean and secure, and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“We recently booked Keyara for an overnight stay at our house, and we were very pleased with her. She was very personable, had great communication, and took wonderful care of our dog! The weather was horrible the morning we were heading back home, and she agreed to hang onto our key in case we were delayed, which gave us huge peace of mind. I would highly recommend Keyara!”
About: I have two dogs named Fin and Petey. Fin is a medium sized Irish Setter and Petey is a small Rat Terrier and Pomeranian mix! Being a small to big dog ratio, they get along pretty well! I take Fin on walks on the beach frequently as he is very well behaved and trained by me! Petey is more of a home body, but loves to go on walks and runs down the road. I have had many animals throughout my childhood: multiple dogs, many birds, ducks, guinea hens, and chickens! I am experienced to care for your animals they way I have and do with mine! I work as a CNA currently so my weekly schedule is inconsistent during the week, but I am able to provide care throughout the week and weekend as needed and avaliable! I have a huge backyard for my dogs to run around and always take them on walks, so even dog sitting for a little bit of time is just as good! With this being said, brining them home, along with coming to your home, or going to public areas, works well with me!
About: I have a strong passion for caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of attention and patience I give to each pet. I take the time to understand their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel as relaxed as possible. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who are still learning routines and basic training, and I’m also gentle and attentive with senior pets who may need extra patience, slower walks, or medication reminders. I treat every pet like they are my own and always make sure they receive plenty of love, playtime, and care Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I make time throughout my day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets are happy and comfortable. I’m organized and good at following routines, so I can easily stick to each pet’s normal schedule for meals, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care they need. I enjoy being around animals, so caring for them is something I genuinely look forward to and make a priority in my weekly routine When caring for pets, I adapt to their needs and the environment—whether in my home or the client’s. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, making sure their pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. In my own home, I create a calm and loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment activities to keep pets happy and stimulated. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and cared for at all times, while keeping their safety and well-being my top priority.
About: I have grown up having pets my whole life, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, rats, lizards, you name it. I spent a lot of time in high school watching the four legged loves one of family and friends alike. Having grown up with pets and now pets belonging to myself, I have much experience walking, grooming, bathing, administering medications; such as eye drops, ear drops, oral medicine, etc. of many pets. I was the kid that always tried to help abandon or hurt critters (I still am that kid!). If you are looking for a trustworthy person to care for your loved one, look no further. I’m currently at M-F 8 a.m - 6 p.m Possible availability S 10a.m - 2 p.m Will consider Fourth of July weekend availability could open up In client home, I intend on caring for your pet in the way that you wish. I am comfortable taking pets to the dog park if the owner wishes for that.
“Marcus was great with my German Shepherd, Dax. He came out for a meet and greet and spent an hour with us before booking to make sure it was a good match for all of us. He played fetch, took him for walks and otherwise played with him and to get him his needed exercise. If the need arises, we will def. be using Marcus again and would recommend his services.”
“Katelyn has dogsat for the past 2 weeks for my 2 pups. She is super friendly, accommodating and helpful. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated. She was able to give our dog his medications while we were away. Definitely recommend and will continue to book with her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Custer on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 30 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Custer. 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 Custer 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 Custer 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 Custer 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
