“Mika and Koji were absolutely awesome pet sitters!! We have senior dogs who usually go everywhere with us. A17 yr old jack Russell and a 10 year old Boston terrier. They definitely have a bit of “dog whisper” in them as our pets were so happy and content and not at all stressed when we got home!! Not only happy pets , but a sparkling clean house to come home to!! I definitely recommend Mika & Koji!!”
About: I have 4 years of professional boarding facility experience and am fully trained in administering oral medications, pill pockets, and topical treatments (no injections, please!). I'm an expert at reading animal body language and feel entirely comfortable managing all temperaments, including reactive, anxious, or aggressive pets. I am free anytime for drop in visits or walking your pets! I am a college student so I am only available on the holiday breaks! As a proud dog parent to two pups of my own, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family who deserve endless love, patience, and undivided attention. My home is a space built on safety and routine, and I bring that exact same dedicated, protective care to your doorstep. Whether your pet needs a high-energy playmate, a calming presence to soothe their anxiety, or precise medication management, my priority is keeping them safe, secure, and completely comfortable until you return. You can relax knowing your furry family members are being treated with the same deep affection, respect, and vigilant care that I give my own every single day.
“Cady was so great with our animals. Cady was attentive and had great attention to detail. Definitely went above and beyond when watching out pets and took care of them as we would. Will use for future sitting needs for sure.”
“Great dog and house sitter! I would absolutely have them over again! Very communicative and responsible. Left our place very tidy. Pepper got lots of attention and exercise.”
About: I've had dogs in my family since I was a baby; I grew up around them and my love for them grew. I care deeply for my own dogs, and I'm always excited to meet a new four legged friend. I regularly petsit for my family, a multitude of dogs, cats, and aquatic creatures. My schedule is currently very flexible; I make time for a walk and training my own dog every day and I sometimes bring him with me when running errands. I love snuggling and hanging out with all kinds of pets, letting them get comfortable with me in their space and touching them at their own pace.
“My kitties are my children, and so leaving them for a weekend is always a bit nerve-wrecking for me. Thankfully I found Gabriel (last minute, too!) and he immediately made me feel relaxed and confident that Weebs and Girl would be taken care of! He sent me multiple pictures, always communicated with me, and left the place nice and tidy (despite our sometimes messy little kitties!) Gabriel is a wonderful person and I will definitely be asking him to come back!”
“Madison was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend her to anyone. She stayed at our home for two weeks and took great care of our older dog and our cat. She is quick to answer any questions, sent us adorable updates, and took wonderful care of our home during a flood watch. She loved our animals so well and it provided such peace of mind while we were away. You shouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her.”
“I believe Melia has been Moose’s favorite sitter of all time, I don’t even think he missed me. She is very attentive to all the small nuances and went above and beyond to me you feel comfortable taking a trip away from my lil man. could not recommend enough…seriously, you’re lucky if she is free”
“Katarina was an amazing sitter for Zuko. She was incredibly accommodating, gave me continuous updates on Zuko, and went above and beyond with her care. Zuko ended up having some tummy issues and Katarina immediately updated me on the problem and even picked up his prescription from the vet on my behalf. She took great care of the home and was always available to help where she could while I was away. I would 100% book her services again and I am incredibly grateful for her care. Thank you so much Katarina!”
“Wow! Madalyn did a great job taking care of my Great Dane, Zeke. He definitely has some quirks, and she was great about providing the care he needs! My house was in excellent shape upon my return. I’d definitely use Madalyn again, and highly recommend her services!”
“Jennifer is fantastic!!! She sends us pictures of Ollie (our 80 pound dog) every day! She leaves our house very clean and left flowers for us. She gives our dog walks daily and left our house spotless! She is our go to dog sitter! We will always see if she is available first to dog sit for us. Jennifer is amazing with Ollie! And Ollie loves Jennifer to the point he doesn’t seemed to have missed us much at all when we get home. We feel great leaving Ollie with Jennifer and can relax on our trips knowing Ollie is in great hands.”
“We had Mallory stay with our dogs at our house and she did an excellent job! She was great with communication, very respectful of our home, and of course very loving and caring to our dogs. We would definitely have her watch them again.”
“Shyla was INCREDIBLE! I have a very demanding cat, Tiny and was extremely nervous about leaving her as I had never left her for that long. Shyla was amazing at housesitting for over two weeks, providing frequent updates and photos and was able to develop a bond with Tiny. Normally Tiny is angry when I come home from trips, but this time she seemed happy which was just an amazing thing to return to. Highly recommend Shyla, she is the best❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Custer on Rover is $36.75 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 594 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 with handling special pet needs in Custer. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
