“Josh was super amazing with our pups! I felt very much at ease going out of town knowing they were in good hands. :) He sent pictures throughout the weekend and had very good communication. I will definitely recommend to family and friends and will look forward to using his services in the future if he is available. :)”
“Amazing care! I would recommend Anthony to anyone needing a dog sitter! My dog is needy and Anthony made her feel calm and relaxed while we were gone on a trip!”
“Donna is amazing with our dogs and our house! She is truly a special sitter and you’d be lucky to have her! She took very good care of our two pups while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks. She diligently cared for them and also watched over our house! On top of that, she’s a wonderful person and we highly recommend her!”
About: I have lived on a farm with horses, chickens, ducks, goats cows you name it I’ve taken care of it. I have about 10+ years of experience taking care of animals. I always make sure that with my client or the animal that I’m taking care of I am 100% ready to meet your needs and wants! I’m currently working part-time, enrolled in online high school, but also have flexible hours as well! I’m very open when it comes to flexibility! When going to the client’s home I make sure that everything is as normal as the animals are used to by keeping the same routine rhythm set times you name it I’ll do it.
“I’m so glad to have found Erin! She was great staying with our dog and cat for a week! I was apprehensive about someone we didn’t know staying in our home, but my concerns ebbed away after meeting her. She came to the house two times (my request) to meet and get to know our Oliver and Swiss before we left. She was flexible when we had a plan change. She sent pictures of our pets ever day, and it warmed our hearts to see them! I know they were in good hands. She is kind, good communicator, responsible, and you can tell she loves animals. She was patient with our not-so-sure kitty who of course loved her. Oliver and Swiss both loved her! We definitely would ask her to stay again or do a drop in for them if need be!”
“Eleanor was great! It was my first time hiring a dog sitter and she made everything easy and stress free. She communicated daily with updates and pictures and really put my mind at ease while I was away. 10/10 would definitely recommend”
“Morgan was awesome. She sent photo updates while sitting with our German Shepherd puppy. We appreciated her kindness and enthusiasm in dealing with our puppy and with us. We highly recommend Morgan and will ask for her on our next trip to Raleigh.”
“Alora did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and cat while we were away on vacation. She was reliable, communicative, and gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in great hands. She provided lots of photos and updates. We came home to happy, well-cared-for animals, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. We’d definitely recommend her!”
“Nicole was great with our two boys!! Very communicative, asked great questions during our meet-n-greet, and left our place in great shape. One of our boys is pretty anxious when we're not there, especially at night; so knowing Nicole was there to give him lots of loving throughout the night was such a relief. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future :)”
About: I’ve assisted my aunt during her Rover experience for two years, I’ve rescued and TNR’d neighborhood street cats for two years, and I have an 8 year old dog and a 2 year old dog back in New York! I recently moved to the area and am living with family, so my animals are not with me until I secure independent housing—they are with family that were still in my old area. I’m a full-time college student in graduate school and I work full-time, both of these commitments are virtual. This leaves me relatively free to prioritize the care your loved pets need! I currently am not offering to pet sit in my own home as I currently live with family, but when watching other peoples dogs I take the same precautions as I would with my own dogs as you can never guarantee their behavior and how they respond to situations or other people. I would ensure the environment is safe, and if we go out into the community, I would be aware of my surroundings and take every precaution as if they were my own!
“Michelle is the BEST! You can be comfortable knowing she’s taking the best care of your babies. Very communicative, sends lots of pictures, and absolutely loves them like your own. Cant recommend her enough”
“Brenna is super nice and sweet. Tango loves her. I used her for in home sitting. She is very considerate of your space and listens to everything you ask. I even asked for a walk as close to the end time as possible because I wasn’t sure when I would be but she had to leave a little early however she made sure she came back after the end time which she didn’t have to to ensure Tango wasn’t left inside without a walk for a significant amount of time, which I really appreciated.”
“As soon as I met Loren I felt completely comfortable leaving our 15 month old pampered Coton de Tulear with her. She sent me great pictures that showed Moppie was relaxed and happy. I would not hesitate to get her to dog sit again!”
“One of our dogs got unexpectedly sick early in our vacation. Sarina went above and beyond taking care of them and any messes. When we got home it was like she wasn’t even here! 10/10 definitely recommend her. She made us feel way less stressed when dealing with a sick pup from far away”
“Marcus was great, he is just a nice person, respectful and polite. He was great with Bear and I believe Bear felt very comfortable with him. He brought in my flag since it was very windy and folded it beautifully into a respectful triangle. He did it before I even thought to ask. I think he's the best!”
“Erin did a great job staying with our elderly blind dog over the weekend. She communicated well, sent pictures daily, and the house was very clean when we got back. Thanks!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Eagle Rock
We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Morty and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and well taken care of. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!
Alyssa did a fantastic job sitting for our dogs, cat and tortoise. We returned home to a houseful of happy energized critters. She sent us daily photos and updates and we couldn't be happier. We will be contacting Alyssa in the future when we travel again. We can't thank her enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Eagle Rock is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $74 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 Eagle Rock 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 Eagle Rock 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 Eagle Rock 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Eagle Rock. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
