“Maddy was so great with our dogs! We loved the frequent updates and pictures. Felt very comfortable while we were away and would love for her to watch our dogs again!”
“Conrad was great with Myla! He took her on her daily walks, played with her outside, and was very attentive to her needs. Myla can be reactive and has a range of different temperaments, and Conrad did a great job handling her and making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated his communication and care while we were away. Highly recommend! 😊”
“Yeili was great! She took my last minute booking request and my two furballs loved her from first meet. I felt very comfortable leaving them and my house in her care. The pictures were great to receive and funny. Thanks again for putting our worries at ease. 10/10 def recommend her! 🙂”
“Kathleen was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dogs and sent multiple updates through our her stay. She took them on a long walk and took great care of our home. Couldn’t recommend her more.”
“When my house sitter had to have last minute surgery, Jordan was able to swoop in last minute. He took wonderful care of my house and pups and had great communication. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for +A sitting.”
“Anna was really attentive. She provided daily updates that included pictures. She made sure that Spirit was well taken care of while I was away. I was hesitant to book her considering her previous review. But she was very matter of fact with me and why she received that review and she more than made up for it with me. I would definitely book her again for any future services.”
“Liv was absolutely incredible when she house sat for me!!! She was so flexible with a short notice booking, communicated throughout the day with updates and tons of photos that made me feel confident Pudge was in exceptionally capable and caring hands 😊 it definitely put me at ease needing to leave quickly for the weekend. If your are looking for a sitter, I cannot recommend Liv enough!!! Pudge is already looking forward to another visit with his new friend 🥰”
“Terri has been my dog watcher basically since my pup was born, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with her even close to as much as Terri. She is loving, kind, patient, extremely knowledgeable about dogs, and very communicative! She is well known in our neighborhood as a friendly soul and the person to go to for pet care. Just book her, you won’t regret it I promise :)”
“Rachel was an incredible sitter for my great dane and cat. She took the dog on a walk daily, sometimes multiple times in a day. We got multiple pictures and a summary of the pets every day As a housesitter, Rachel went above and beyond by cleaning and washing the bedding before her departure.”
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something that truly brings me joy! I raised my own dog from the time she was just 4 months old, and we shared many wonderful years together before I sadly had to say goodbye to her last year. She taught me so much about the love, patience, and commitment that go into caring for a dog, and she will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️ Throughout our time together, I taught her all kinds of tricks and commands, including sit, down, turn around, speak, roll over, up, and stay, along with many others! I love spending time with dogs, keeping them engaged, and helping them learn through positive reinforcement, patience, and encouragement. These days, I enjoy helping friends care for their dogs while they're out of town. Whether it's keeping them company, playing with them, maintaining their routines, or simply giving them extra love and attention, I'm always happy to have some furry friends around! I also have experience caring for a dog with additional medical needs. During my dog's last year, she developed Cushing's disease, which taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, and understanding when a dog needs extra care and support. This experience has given me a special appreciation for senior dogs and dogs who may need a little extra help or a gentler approach. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I treat every pup in my care as if they were my own. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, still learning their manners, getting older, or needs extra attention, I'll do my best to make sure they feel happy and cared for while you're away. I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving hands. 🐶💕 I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to fit pet care into my day. I love having furry companions around while I work and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I'll do my best to accommodate your pet's routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! ❤️ I follow your instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!
“Haley did a great job watching my 4 month old puppy for a few days when I had to be in the office. He was happy and well cared for and she left my house exactly as she found it. I’d recommended her for any of your pet care needs!”
“Peace was so kind and did a last minute house/pet sit for us while we were away for a weekend trip. I know our cuddly kitten enjoyed having her here and our dog Banjo got some good walks in with her. We came home to a happy animals and tidy house. Peace was communicative, reliable and worked with our schedule. I would absolutely recommend Peace to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I’ve been working with animals and volunteering with animal organizations my whole life. I have extensive experience socializing under socialized dogs, and puppies. I also love cats and have had three. My occupation is largely seasonal and this is my slow season. I can make accommodations to anyone that needs sitting around the holidays or something regular. I care for each animal, as if it is my own, especially if I’m in a new situation or home. Building the trust of the animals is key to having a great working relationship.
“Maggie took excellent care of our pup while we were gone and was super communicative!! We really appreciated how caring she was and we felt relaxed knowing our dog and home were in good hands - I highly recommend her!”
“Nevaeh did a wonderful job watching my little dogs! She was caring, professional and kind! She followed all of my instructions and she even took my trash bins in from the outside on trash day. My older dog wouldn’t go upstairs to the guest room with her so instead of leaving him alone downstairs she chose to sleep downstairs with him which was very sweet. Everything was left perfectly clean and Punky and Wilbur were so well taken care of and happy. Thank you so much for your excellent care, Nevaeh!!”
“Jaime took such incredible care of my blind senior dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was extra patient and attentive to all his needs. All instructions were also followed. I will definitely be using Jaime again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive sitter.”
“Sam was INCREDIBLE. He went above and beyond in providing care for my 5 month old puppy Charlie. I had a lot of instructions and requests, and Sam was patient and a good communicator and helped put my mind at ease. He took great care of Charlie and provided timely updates along the way. He was able to build a lot of trust in a short amount of time, and he will be my first call the next time I need some assistance with Charlie!”
“Danielle did a great job taking care of Asher while we were out of town. She checked in with us and sent pictures every day which helped put us at ease. She was reliable and also left our house super clean which was awesome. We will definitely be booking her again!!”
“We had a great experience with Genelle housesitting our dog. She was punctual and provided daily updates with pictures while we were away. Even during a thunderstorm, she helped our anxious girl stay relaxed and cared for. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“Chris did an amazing job house sitting our little farm. He was an attentive house sitter and everyone was happy and healthy when we got home. Thanks so much!”

Ines is wonderful. She was diligent and thoughtful at our meet and greet, taking time to ask the right questions about Bowie and his needs. While I was away she was communicative, sent lots of pictures and took great care of my apartment and pup. Thanks so much Ines
Maxene was wonderful! She took care of our 8th month old pup while we were away for the weekend. She was on-time and seemed very kind and capable. She sent us plenty of cute pictures and updates and gave us a good recap when we got back. She even took Moose out on a walk right before we got home in effort to tire him out. We recommend her and would love to have her back to watch Moose another time !
We have only wonderful things to say about Nicole, she was a fantastic sitter for both our dogs while we were away. Extremely responsive, accommodating, and patient with one of our more nervous dogs needs. House looked better than we left it - we will definitely be requesting her in the future!
Natalie stayed at our house for 10 days and took amazing care of our frenchie Pierre while we were on a trip out of the country. We’ve never left him for this long and I was initially feeling like a nervous wreck about leaving him with anyone. But Natalie really eased all of my worries by the time we even left. She sent us daily updates and photos of our boy while we were away so I never had to wonder how he was doing which I appreciated so much and looked forward to every day. Pierre has special needs in that he has epilepsy and requires medication 2x/day to prevent seizures. He also has additional medications to be used in the event of a seizure which we provided her all of the instructions for. Natalie took all of his medication instructions like a champ and wasn’t intimidated by his needs at all which was a HUGE relief. Pierre is an only dog who is not used to having other dogs in his space. He’s very high energy which can be a lot for other dogs and he hasn’t been socialized too much so I wasn’t too sure how he would do with Natalie’s dog June Bug in his space. They fully warmed up to each other after about a day or two and her sweet baby June Bug was just the perfect dog to help Pierre learn some doggy social skills. By the end of our trip, we were getting pictures of the dogs giving kisses and being so sweet together. We can tell Pierre misses his bestie June Bug so much! We missed our first flight back so we ended up needing to ask Natalie to stay for an extra night very last minute and she was so flexible to do that for us! It was also so lovely to come back to a spotless home! We would definitely book Natalie again and we can’t thank her enough for watching our baby boy and taking such great care of him <3
Lilly is the perfect house sitter. She was professional, communicative, and took great care of our senior bulldog. Lilly also tended to house tasks like taking in the mail, packages, taking out the garbage etc. It was such a relief to know that our pup and home were in such good hands and we'll definitely be asking her for future stays.
5 stars - I would absolutely recommend them! They did a phenomenal job caring for my cats and went above and beyond everything I asked. They were also very reasonably priced, which I especially appreciated as someone on a budget. I received consistent updates and great photos, and it was clear my cats were getting plenty of attention and love. They even left toys for my cats, which was such a thoughtful and sweet extra touch! I would happily book them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great cat sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Edgewater is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $86 per night.

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 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 Edgewater. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
