“Karen was amazing! She was very attentive and a great communicator. She kept us informed about the pups regularly and provided photos. Our little pack welcomed her with open paws. She took great care of our fur babies and our home. We will definitely have her take care of our pups next time we are out of town.”
“Tiffany was awesome. She stayed with my two rambunctious Boston Terrier puppies for a long weekend. We recieved many pictures and updates during our time away giving us comfort that our babies were being well taken care of. Our babies are spoiled and sleep in bed with us. Tiffany didn't bat an eye in sharing the bed. Best yet the house was clean and dog poop all picked up. We definately would use her again. Highly recommended!”
“Shelley was very communicative during her stay. After a rough start for not having the code to our door (completely my fault) things went very smoothly. Daisy and the house were well cared for.”
“Nick was the absolute perfect sitter for our pup. This was our first time using Rover and we were a little worried about the process and he put our mind at ease. Now that we are home, our pup keeps going into our guest room to look for Nick, so our pup must have had a great time! Will definitely use again for our next trip!”

“Sarah did an amazing job caring for our two dogs, Kizzy and Odin! She sent us lots of updates and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Sarah also picked up our packages and took wonderful care of our house. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and reliability, and we would definitely book her again!”

“Ava took great care of my 3 elderly dogs. She was in communication and sent a few pics during our time away. The house was just as we had left it. She is a very sweet kind gal that we hope to use in the future. We came home a day early and are opting to leave the extra money as her tip. Thank you Ava.”
“Jocelyn did an incredible job with my two pups - both are young with tons of energy. My 3yo border collie was not friendly but Jocelyn easily won her over. I was truly impressed with how she expertly navigated my dog’s behaviors. I received great pictures that highlighted how well cared for they were while I was away. Jocelyn kept them happy, safe and fed. I appreciate Jocelyn”s regular updates and photos. I would 1000% rebook Jocelyn.”
“Jonathan did an incredible job as always! Great communication with pictures each day, and the recaps he sends reassures you that your pets are in great hands. House was in impeccable shape when we returned and we will continue to use his pet services again!”
“Yelena was great, easy to reach and communicate with. Skai loved her and she even left her a new toy to play with! You can tell she is very experienced with dogs especially being that Skai can be very hyper but it did not seem to bother her at all. I would definitely book again, she made things very easy and smooth thank you :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Doctor Phillips
Nick is truly the best dog sitter there is. Nick had our dogs for just under 2 weeks, and in that time everything out of his control that could go wrong seemed to. As small as our smoke detector alarm batteries dying to our dog needing surgery… Nick handled every obstacle with care and kept us in the loop the whole time. As mentioned above one of our dogs had to have surgery to removed a foreign object that they ate prior to nicks stay with them starting. Nick was so caring, that our vet even commented that he is the best Rover he has ever seen. He drove our pup to and from the vet, and to the overnight vet where he needed to stay to recover for a few days, and even went to visit him. Then he managed his medications and diet after our pup returned home. Also continued sending us frequent updates throughout the process. Our pup is thankfully doing great now, and nick’s quick action is a big part of why his recovery went so well. We are so thankful to have found Nick (this was his second time watching our boys) and hope to have him pet sit for us again. Hopefully with less challenges next time.
We loved Anna from the first meet & greet contact and so happy we found her to care of our baby at our home. She followed all instructions, was kind, patient and caring with our Bentley. She communicated timely and also took initiative to contact the maintanance staff for an AC issue the first evening we left. She made them understand this was an emergency because the house would get to hot for the doggie. This was the first time I left my dog and home with a sitter and did not worry. I was completely relaxed and came back to everything being in order. My dog is a bit shy with new people but warmed up to Anna quickly, played with her and even slept in her bed. We are so fortunate to find her here and now look forward to plan other trips. Thank you so much Anna!

FAQs for House Sitting - Doctor Phillips
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Doctor Phillips on Rover is $51.9 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,092 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Doctor Phillips. 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 Doctor Phillips 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 Doctor Phillips 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 Doctor Phillips 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.
