“Natalie was an outstanding house and dog sitter. She took exceptional care of our Labradoodle, Hudson, making sure he got his medication on schedule, enjoyed long walks, and received plenty of love and cuddles while we were away. It was also wonderful that she brought her sweet dog, Junebug. The two dogs enjoyed each other’s company, and it was comforting to know Hudson had a canine companion while we were gone. When we returned home, our house was absolutely spotless. Natalie treated our home with the utmost respect and left everything impeccably clean. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with photos and gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for someone who is reliable, caring, trustworthy, and attentive. She went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for better care for both Hudson and our home.”
“Mckinzie treated our dogs so well! They are high energy pups and she took them for many walks and hikes during her stay. She sent lots of photos of them and left our house very clean. She also was intentional at the meet and greet to understand how to give our dogs the best care. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Took great care of my animals and home. Lots of updates throughout the day. Made my vacation stress-free and I returned home to framed photos of my pets. Appreciated the extra effort! Great sitter.”
“From the beginning there was such a good communication with Zapora, she and Fiona got along very well and very quickly, she took good care of our baby Fiona when she needed it the most, we are super grateful for all the walks and patience.”
“Konner did an excellent job of taking care of Nessie and my home. He came to meet Nessie ahead of time and learn about her care. He kept me informed all weekend and my home was neat and tidy when I returned. I highly recommend Konner.”
“Taylor was an excellent communicator while we were away. He provided consistent updates and was incredibly patient with our moody pup. I loved the photos that he sent during his stay, it was great to know that our pets were comfortable with him and thriving while we were gone.”
“Maddy takes exceptional care of our dogs and home and we’d happily recommend her to anyone. She’s communicative, kind, and responsible and most importantly, takes great care of our two dogs who can sometimes be nervous with new people.”
“Ella was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter for my dog, Bear, and my cat, Cheesecake. She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Both of my pets felt completely comfortable with her, and it was clear they were well cared for and happy. She also treated my home with so much respect — everything was spotless when I returned, and it honestly looked just as clean as when I left. Ella truly went above and beyond, and I would love to have her watch Bear and Cheesecake again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“We are so grateful for the excellent care our dog received! Terri handled a complicated medication schedule with confidence and took amazing care of our dog through a few unexpected tummy issues and even a beeping smoke alarm. She kept us updated, was incredibly reliable, and truly went above and beyond. We had complete peace of mind while we were away and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was amazing and we will definitely ask her to watch our pooch again! Ranger was very happy and sleepy when we got home and the house was spotless! She also gave us daily updates and pics, which we loved. Thank you so much Jennifer for taking such good care of Ranger!”
About: I love dogs of all sizes. I adopted my labrador retriever mix 8 years ago and she is old and stays to herself the majority of the time. I will take them to parks to let them play. Im available everyday after 5pm. I can do drop in visits right before I go into before 6:30am. I am available during weekends. I am very flexible on Weekends. I can also house sit, on weekdays and weekends. My special skills consists of playing fetch, being acting and enthusiastic, and most importantly getting to know your dog and making his time with me comfortable. I cant wait to make new friends and make lots of memories. I’m currently working full time - a hybrid job so I have the flexibility of being home when is needed. I start work at 8am-4:30pm. I do live in a condo which is pretty spacious. There is a grassy area right outside of my condo which is very nice for potty breaks.
“Olivia was great with our dog, Rufus! She was very attentive to his needs but also realized that he needed a little time to warm up to a new person. On top of that she arrived a little early for a meet and greet, and didn’t mind staying after the scheduled end time since we were running a little late getting home. We also appreciated that she kept us updated with photos and check ins throughout the night. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Angie was amazing. I booked with her last minute and she was responsive from the moment I contacted her. She sent me updates twice a day as requested, always including photos and how Luna was doing. She also left my house as if she had never been there! Thank you, Angie!”
“Jenny is a delightful, responsible, and animal-loving person who is our dog's new best friend. This was our second time having Jenny dogsit for us. Once again, she went above and beyond in taking great care of Cookie, who is not easily won-over. Jenny is an exceptional communicator and sent frequent pictures and updates. She also took such amazing care of our house and it was a weight off our shoulders to know she was here while we were away. We feel so fortunate to have found Jenny!”
“Kelly was wonderful! Made an extra effort to meet and get to know my pups before pet sitting with them. She put my mind at ease while I was away and made sure to share plenty of updates and photos! So grateful for all of her help and wonderful care for my pups while I was away!”
“Braelyn was so awesome. She clearly loves animals and took such good care of our house. Everything was clean, bedding was washed, and the dogs seemed so relaxed when we got back. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be booking again :)”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats both personally and professionally for about 20 years. I guarantee the highest level of professional care and service for your furry friend. I'm currently working full time remote with opportunities to help friends and family during the day with their needs. I sometimes have unplanned meetings however that I have to abide by but typically I'm very flexible. I live in a one bedroom apartment currently so I do not currently offer services for boarding pets. Additionally I have my own cat who can be hot and cold for new comers.
“So glad that Carissa was available to watch my babies for a long weekend! She was great with updates and pictures and I felt really good knowing she was there with them. She took wonderful care of my babies and my home, leaving my place so clean and nice. She’s a gem and I will absolutely use her again! Thank you Carissa! 🙏”
About: As a barista I make it a priority to learn my regulars pets names. When making small talk, I tend to lean towards talking about their pets (and mine:) I just moved to the big D-E-Nver! I'm working a few shifts a week as a barista and other than that, I'm free to hang out with your fluffy friends! There is no better way to explore a new city than with a new best friend by my side! Daily photos/videos of our adventures is a must. Stick to the routine that is provided and give endless love and attention to your beloved baby!!
“Marianne was awesome. She was able to dog-sit for us at our hotel on short notice (one day), she arrived promptly, took great care of our two Dalmatians and updated us regularly while we were at our event. I would highly recommend Marianne - our dogs loved her too.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Edgewater is $55

Natalie provided extended care/multiple daily visits for my cats while one needed extra care following surgery. She went above and beyond - she spent many hours with them and carried out my requests wonderfully. She gave frequent updates, sent photos, kept track of medication administration, remembered to take the trash bins out, and left my house very tidy! I really appreciate her attention to detail and the great care she provided to my kitties.
I can’t say enough good things about Gio!! He left my house and garden in better shape than we left it, including laundry, leftovers and weeding!! I am so appreciative to have found him. He took such amazing care of my boys and I’m so grateful to have someone I trust. THANK YOU GIO🫶
Konner was great with our pup and stepped in at the last minute when our other sitter cancelled. He was on time, followed our instructions, was kind, and very respectful of the house. Our pup had a good time with him. Highly recommend. Would gladly use him as a sitter again.
Chiara did a fantastic job watching our two dogs in our house, for our 3 day trip. She provided prompt and constant communication the entire time. She followed all instructions for feeding, walks and other dog care. She sent us photo and text updates periodically, to let us know our dogs were in good hands. She also went the extra mile and stayed longer than planned due to a flight delay. I highly recommend using Chiara for your dog care needs and my wife and I would definitely book Chiara again for any future trips !
Alison was an incredible sitter for our sweet Sully! She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated throughout her stay. She introduced Sully to her own pup and they seemed to have the best time together! Alison was also great about bringing in our packages/mail and took great care of our home!
Melissa was fantastic with Gracie over a week-long stay, communicative from the start with frequent updates and photos. Gracie has never let anyone but me walk her, but Melissa earned her trust so quickly that they were happily walking together by day two. She and her husband Chase are clearly a great team, both attentive and genuinely caring with Gracie. I'm grateful to have found a sitter I can really trust with Gracie, since that's not something I give easily.
Scarlett was an amazing sitter. She loved our fur babies for 5 days while we traveled. She sent pictures and kept us updated. She decreased my anxiety about leaving them for a prolonged period. She stayed in our home and will always be welcomed back. When we returned our home was clean as if no one had been here, except the pups ready to great us. Thank you Scarlett for taking such great care of our babies.
Stop searching and book Collette! Having her house sit with our babies was literally the next best thing to us caring for them ourselves. She constantly provided updates, photos, videos. One of our dogs is anxious and therefore high maintenance when she thinks we’ve abandoned her. She refuses to go outside, has hunger strikes and everything. Collette was great about letting me know what was going on and I provided in the moment suggestions when possible. But her kindness, patience, flexibility, and communication was everything to us. She also left our home neat and clean which made our return home so calm and restful. I am so thankful for her. It’s always so hard for us to leave our dogs but she made us feel so at ease. 10/10!

FAQs for House Sitting - Edgewater
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Edgewater on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,962 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Edgewater. 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 Edgewater 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 Edgewater 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 Edgewater 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
