“Tammy allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our pup was in excellent care. She sent us daily pics of their day together, followed his daily routine and was fully committed to the care and comfort of Tank. I would give Tammy 6 stars if I could.”
“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.”
“Morgan did a great job getting odins energy levels down and checking in throughout the day. She clearly has a love a for animals and the ability to care for my high energy husky. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for good dog care.”
About: I have cared for many dogs throughout the past 7 years! I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs. I love making new furry friends and will give your pup the love and care they deserve! I’m currently working full-time with shifts in the mornings and afternoons. I have a several hour break between shifts to accommodate potty-breaks and home visits. I am happy to house-sit and keep your animal comfortable and safe at their home. I love to take daily walks and/or runs and am a very active and clean person. I am a very respectful and thoughtful individual. I like to leave the homes I watch better than when I arrived. I am not afraid to clean up any pet accidents and have lots of experience with carpet cleaner! I am a quiet person and enjoy relaxing at home.
“Jennifer is an amazing dog sitter. She took great care of our 85 pound Ollie. We are really grateful for Jennifer. This is the longest we have left our dog with anyone. We arrived home to a very happy well adjusted dog and beautiful garden! Thank you Jennifer!”
“Madalyn’s 17-day sit for our two cats and home was exemplary! She communicated very well while we were away, and we returned home to calm, happy kitties and a spotless house. We couldn’t have asked for anything more than what Madalyn delivered :) Thank you again, Madalyn!”
“Willow did a fantastic job staying in my home with my Ziggy. She had clear and quick communication. She left the house very tidy and Ziggy enjoyed his time with her. Thank you Willow!”
“Lori was incredibly thoughtful, both leading up to the stay and during. She is kind and organized, provided lots of updates and photos, and took great care of both my boy and my home. I will absolutely book with her again!”
About: Hi! I'm Mary Beth! I work for NOAA currently as a scientist. I'm looking for a productive way to harness my love of pets. My very first job was dog walking while on my paper route. I have walked, watched, and trained dogs for as long as I can remember. The neighborhood I grew up in knew me as the go to girl for pet sitting while on vacation. I am ready and willing to be of service to you and your furry family. As a fish biologist I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I am very excited to get to know your pet whether it be boarding or just a quick walk. Can't wait to hear from you and care for your pet.
“Ava was fantastic and we are already looking to book her for the summer. After a few really frustrating experiences, we were so grateful that we came home to a tidy house, happy dogs that didn't seem anxious or starved for attention, a dryer full of clean sheets and towels and a running dishwasher. Ava played with the dogs, gave them love, kept them fed, and made herself at home in our home which was exactly what we had wanted!!! We're really thankful to have found Ava through Rover and highly recommend her.”
About: I have dog walking and sitting experience for giant all the way down to miniature breeds. I also have a lot of experience with multi-dog households. I adore all animals but dogs have my whole heart and you can place full trust in me to do right by your dog. I am a college student so when I am not actively attending class on campus, I can be with your pet. I am very active and am happy to run, walk, or take your pet to the park frequently. As I live in an apartment with roommates and a cat that is not my own, I don’t plan to take your pet to my home.
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life! I have a big heart for dogs, especially. I have two dogs, Scooter & Rocco, & have very little time in my life without one. I am more than happy to bring your dog to my place to hang out with my boys. I can do walks & doggy play dates! I'd also be willing to stay at your place for longer periods & during the week if I could bring my two boys with me! I have trained Scooter to be an ESA with additional tasks & a therapy dog. I work full time & have a very flexible schedule. I can pop in during the work day & work from home when needed! I have free time on weekends & some evenings, so if you work odd hours, I'm more than happy to stop by & feed, get out for a walk, & such! I always follow house rules. I generally ensure that gates are shut, collars are on, leashes are secure. I will treat your babies like my own & I do not play about my boys.
“Audrey was a magnificent dog/house sitter. She was very communitive before during and after by leaving us a wonderful note. Our Aussiedoodle is very active and we spoil her. Audrey seems to have figured out her needs and lovingly fulfilled them. Our home was left just as we left it. She even washed her sheets and remade the bed. We would use her again in a ♡ beat!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up with 3 dogs and taking care of animals is a passion of mine. I have taken care of dogs that have cancer and other health issues so I am comfortable with giving medications and working with challenges that may arise with any dog! I live with a cat that I take care of daily and when I am back home, I am the fulltime caregiver for my 3 dogs. I know a dog's routine and what they need to happy and healthy, and I work around their schedule with anything I have going on. In your home I will respect it and treat it like my own. Any care instructions such as kenneling or a bedtime routine I will follow exactly as they are laid out for me.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors pets and my own pets all my life I can’t handle almost anything cats and dogs are both great for me! I work Wednesday-Saturday 5-10pm. And I’m free Sunday through Tuesday! I’m available all days of the week just some nights I work later! I’m very flexible though and I’m open to most schedules! I would like to know how you have your rules and such around your house and work from there I’m pretty chill and iam good with most anything and making sure what’s comfortable with the animals :)
“Daisy went above and beyond for our two dogs. We were a little nervous to use a new sitter since by the time the sitter arrived we wouldn’t have cell service anymore as we were gone camping. But it all went great and Daisy sent us tons of updates which were a joy to read through when we got back to service. She adapted to what our dogs needed even when it differed from what we told her to expect. She took them each for a walk and even left the house tidier than we left it. Daisy is great!”
“Donna has been 5he perfect sitter. We gave used her twice now and she will be our go to from here on out. My dog loves her and the place looks better than it did when I left. She iscaring and very responsive. You can't go wrong!”
“Katrina was great! She was super sweet to Oliver and left the house super clean! She was incredibly responsive and gave updates on Oliver while we were abroad! I would absolutely book Katrina again!! Thanks for being so kind to Ollie!!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Custer is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $53 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
