âThis was the second time my husband and I hired Hope to stay in our house and watch our dog. She is amazing. She worked around our schedules to accommodate when we needed her to arrive and left the house in stunning condition. She sent daily picture updates of our dog, who absolutely loves her. We know we don't need to worry when we leave our dog (and house) in Hope's care.â
âThis was my very first time using Rover so I was very nervous about the process. From the beginning, Kelly communicated well and was always clear and kind. She house sat and dog sat and did an amazing job. I received lots of pictures and updates which kept my mind at ease. My three dogs stayed relaxed through her care and ate each meal so for those of you whose dogs are sensitive to routine changes and new people, Kelly is an absolute pro and the dogs know it. â¤ď¸ All directions were followed and respected. She was so patient and accommodating to the dogs and me. I came home to happy dogs and a cared-for houseâŚshe went above and beyond and washed their bowls and left a hand written note. I recommend Kelly and already have plans to rebook.â
âMadison was perfect! She sent pictures/updates of our dogs and had no problems reaching out with any questions that came up. We booked her super last minute and had no problems at all. I would recommend her to anyone who has crazy dogs and would definitely book with her againâ
âDavid is absolutely the best! He took wonderful care of our pets (both a dog and cat). Our dog is a senior guy and David took special care to make sure he was comfortable. We feel fortunate to have found such a caring individual we can trust with our pets and home. We will definitely use David again to house sit!â
âConnor was great! This was my first time leaving my eleven year old quirky dog. She sent updates and photos throughout the sit. We will definitely be booking her again :)â
âJess really is the best! We just moved to the area and were looking for a reliable sitter for our fur baby - we have only ever trusted family or friends to watch him prior. Jess was communicative the whole time, sending updates multiple times a day, making us feel very at ease with the care Gordon was getting. When we got home our house was cleaner than we left it and Gordon was very happy and well taken care of. Well will definitely be using Jess for future needs!â
âJulie kept us well informed about how Cooper was doing. He had nice long walks and play time in the yard with Julie. These are things we are unable to do with him so he loved it. Definitely would use Julie again.â
âMaggie has sat for my pup twice and both times she was attentive and kept me updated on how things were going. My senior boy is shy and slow to warm up and he does well with her.â
âChris was extremely professional, reliable and kept us in the loop while house sitting our pup! She was very detail oriented and made sure Hudson was well taken care of during our trip. Would highly recommend and will use her again!â
âKimberly was fantastic! We loved receiving her updates and her previous Vet Tech experience made us feel like our kitties were truly in good hands. We will definitely be booking her again!â
About: Iâve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, from kittens and puppies to senior pets. I currently have two cats and a Great Dane, so Iâm very comfortable with different personalities, needs, and large-breed dogs. I also have experience caring for cats with illnesses and diabetes, including administering oral medications, other medications, and injections. Iâm comfortable following detailed feeding and medication schedules and understand how important consistency can be for pets with special needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication, or just some extra love and attention, Iâll care for them like one of my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they need. Iâm available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, medication needs, and other care. Iâm also happy to work with your petâs normal routine and schedule whenever possible. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and entering your home. Iâll always follow your instructions closely and respect your petâs normal routine, personality, and boundaries. Iâm comfortable caring for pets with special needs, administering medications and injections, and keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. Iâll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while youâre away, and Iâm happy to provide regular updates and photos. I have a fenced in yard!
About: My connection with animals involves compassion, patience and communication. I have experience taking dogs for walks and home sitting with pets for an extended period. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care part-time. Iâm generally most available on weekends, with additional availability throughout the week. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a clientâs home, I follow their instructions and respect the petâs normal routine, including feeding, walks and any other needs they might have.
âJennifer was fantastic and my corgis loved their time with her! She was extremely communicative and kept me up to date with texts and photos the entire time. I highly recommend using her services! Iâll definitely be a repeat client!â
âSandra was awesome! After two issues with dog sitters we were very wary of leaving our dog again. Sandra stayed at our house and did all of the things we do with our dog on a daily basis. We got pictures every day and it was obvious our dog was very happy!â
âWe love Tonia! She was fantastic with our two treasured pups. She was attentive, loving, and very clean/ organized, which always makes coming home a delight. She made sure to send a lot of pictures so we always knew our babies were well cared for. 100% recommend!â

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Day Heights
Jessica was an awesome in-home sitter for my 2 dogs. She sent updates every day with photos, and was available for questions/requests during her stay. She left my house clean and in the way I left it. My time away was stress-free, because I knew my babies were in good hands. My dogs were very happy and not stressed at all. I would highly recommend Jess (as long as it doesnât interfere with when I need her!đ)
My pups can be high maintenance and she was great with them. She took several pictures and sent them to me and they looked very happy. She has communicated a lot with me to help offer suggestions for my 1 year old that I have been struggling with training. Iâm very picky about my babies and I am so thankful we found her.
I just want to say Brody is outstanding. He goes above and beyond. He keeps you updated, sends great quality photos, and truly cares for your dogs like theyâre his own â even like family. I highly recommend him, 11/10. Very professional and a genuinely great guy.
Laci is great with my Lola! As long as she will care for her, I will continue to use her services. Lola likes her and I feel comfortable leaving her in Laciâs care and that is a great relief when I am gone out of state. I always receive pictures to see how my fur baby is doing. Laci has completed overnight sitting as well as drop in visit. Recommended 100%
Michayla took care of my two cats for a week while I was on vacation, and she did a wonderful job! She is very caring and attentive, and she made sure to send me pictures and updates throughout the week which really put my mind at ease. I will definitely book her again in the future.

The average cost of House Sitting in Day Heights is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $56 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Day Heights walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Day Heights 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Day Heights 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
