“Kyra was available for us last minute and did so great with our dog, Jenny. Jenny had no issues having Kyra come stay with her. Kyra communicated well with us, was very friendly and super easy to deal with. Would use her again.”
“We've used Kyelene as our sitter numerous times now. She's always punctual and a great communicator. Our pup absolutely loves her! We really appreciate her attention to detail and that we never need to worry when our pup is in her care.”
“Kayley is the best! She checked in with me often, took great care of the home and was patient with my high anxiety Theo. He had an accident in the house and she took care of it all and even brought her cleaner from home to help pick it all up. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you!!!”
“Rachael took great care of our dogs and house while we were away. She communicated well and sent pictures of the dogs looking comfortable and at ease which we appreciate so much. We will definitely use Rachael again and highly recommend her services.”
“Linda took great care of our dog and cat while we were on vacation. She met with us beforehand to ease our anxious dog, and communication was great throughout. Highly recommend and will definitely hire again.”
“Kary and Myranda, are a perfect fit - not only a working partners, but as a Mom and daughter. So far, we have used them for one drop in and one overnight. They present as genuine, confident and comfortable with all the responsibilities that go with caring for someone else's pets. Bella and Cooper took to them immediately. Kary and Myranda were sensitive to my concerns about our senior, Bella, and understanding of Cooper's energetic ways. They sent loads of photos and updates, which I appreciated greatly. They respected our home and the routines that are pups are used to. What impressed me the most was they 'got to know' both of our dogs, which matters in any care giving scenario. One last note is that when I suggested they leave when I wasn't far from returning from an overnight trip, they chose to stay until I returned. The dogs were never left unattended during our absence. When I did get home, they gave me a thorough report on how things went and then were on their way. We will definitely be using their fine service in the future.”

About: I’d be happy to help care for your fur babies! I have experience with dogs and cats ranging from young to old and small to large.

Welcoming to all breeds, especially large breeds, pit bulls, pets with special needs, and elderly dogs. I work a traditional 9-5 job, like many of my sitting clients, so your pets schedule may remain the same as it would when you’re home with them! I’m an early riser so I can let your pet(s) out a couple times in the morning, directly after work, and throughout the evening and night. On weekends, my schedule is completely open. For in home sitting, I follow whatever boundaries or guidelines the owner sets for safety in their home. I rely on owners to give clear instructions on how to best care for their pets.

So thankful that we were able to leave our pets in such good hands!”

Ashlen was great with my dogs and super easy to work with. She was punctual, friendly, reliable, and kept everything clean and organized. Communication was great, and it was obvious she knew what she was doing. Most importantly, my dogs really liked her. I’d definitely book with her again.
Ari is AMAZING!! We had a last minute trip come up and she responded to us immediately, so responsive with all communications. Our animals took to her right away. During the trip, she kept us updated with photos and messages, and we knew when we came back that our boys had been well taken care of. Highly recommend and would love to rebook with Ari in the future!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Eastborough
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Eastborough on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 239 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eastborough. 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 Eastborough 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 Eastborough 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 Eastborough 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.
