“Tracy was a great dog and house sitter. She kept me updated on a regular basis, and I felt like our pup was in good hands. Really appreciate the peace of mind while we had to be away.”
“Savannah did a great job with my two large dogs. I was out of the state for a week and didn’t have to worry about the girls at all. I will be using her again in the near future and would recommend her to anybody for housesitting and pet sitting.”
“We had a great experience with Jordan! Jordan was on time, kept us updated throughout the stay, and sent plenty of photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were clearly well cared for and happy. We really appreciated the communication and attention to detail. We would definitely book with Jordan again!”
“Brianne was amazing with our chaotic, nutty furry bunch! We left her with our trio of cats and the dynamic duo of dogs, for a total of five. The first thing we noticed was how all of our furry ones were drawn to her. Animals just know if a person is good. Being away is hard, but it feels better when you have someone you can trust to love you while you're gone. My wife and I had complete peace of mind with her caring for our babies. Brianne is the BEST!”
“Maria was AMAZING! Our pups loved spending time with her. Our female is always very nervous and Maria was the first sitter to be able to ease her mind and even pet her. Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone needing a sitter!!”
“What an AMAZING experience!! Brittni was available with incredibly last minute notice due to some extenuating circumstances and she did a wonderful job. She treated my animals very kindly and even catered to one who had an upset tummy. Her communication is excellent as well!! We received regular updates on how the visit was going and she even sent pictures for our peace at mind. I highly recommend her for any animal care!”
About: Ever since I was a little kid I had a ton of pets from dogs to hamsters and lizards. As soon as I had my first dog I have dreamed of having a career that involved animals. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your animals. I am also able to come to your home whether it's for walking or drop in potty visits. I am planning on going to college in the future which makes me able to work long hours if needed. If you have a fenced yard I'll gladly throw toys around and play with your pet and if there isn't a fence I would love to leash them and go on a walk. I can let them out if they are in crates and am comfortable working in your house if you are out of town.
“Sophia did great with our dog, Bella, during a weekend stay! She kept us updated continuously & followed all detailed instructions for our very needy, senior pup. Super grateful for her patience!”
“Courtney was the perfect sitter for our 5 month old husky puppy. We knew our pup would need a lot of work and care (including medication) while we were gone for the weekend, and Courtney exceeded our expectations in every way. She was extremely communicative and constantly sent updates. Our pup absolutely loved her and was sad to see her go. We will definitely be using Courtney again!”
“Carli took great care of our menagerie while we were away. Our two big dogs were happy and healthy when we got home. By the end of her stay the cats even started to come out for pets, which is no easy feat.”
“Alyssah was very good with our dogs. We have never left our dogs and one is elderly and does not adapt easily to anything new. Alyssah made them comfortable for the week we were gone. She sent great pictures and updates. Her communication was awesome. We WILL definitely use her again.”
“Ashland was AMAZING with my 16 month old Great Dane named George. I was so nervous as this was the first time we left him. Ashland was on time, reassuring and just so great with my pup! He is a bed dog and that was A ok with Ashland. He actually went and looked for her the next morning. Highly recommend Ashland!!”
“Valery is one of the best sitters I have used on this platform. She took care of our two dogs when we were gone and did a great job taking care of one of our dogs who needs extra attention and keeping us updated.”
“Jennifer did a great job the past 9 days house sitting and caring for our Cory. Cory was in great spirits when we returned home and our house was clean & orderly. We would definitely recommend her for future needs. Thanks Jen!”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, especially dogs. Some as small as my mom‘s Chihuahua, to dogs as big as my sister‘s great mastiffs. Ive cared for all types of pets and would love to meet many more! Recently I’ve started working part time but I’m open to work around that! I try to be as flexible as I can. If you’d like me to drop in to feed, walk, or watch your pet, I’ll be available. Whatever type of routine your pets have I’m down to follow it. Lots of pets I’ve worked with have specific eating routines, as well as walking routines, I’m here to learn what works best for you.
About: I have struggled personally while trying to find reliable care for my kitties on rover once we moved to FL - I am happy to be able to help out other cat families in the area! I have three cats, from a 14 year old senior to a 7 month old kitten. I am familiar and comfortable administering medications (our 7 month old has twice daily oral medication) and treatments (our 14 year old girl has feline asthma). I know how to be patient with cats and respect their space, while still ensuring they are getting the care and attention they need while their pet parents are away. I can house sit or do drop ins and am happy to come by prior to booking to ensure it's a good fit for everyone! I can't wait to meet your cat! I am working at the moment but average about 20 days off a month or more that I would love to get to know you and your pets by caring for them! I have a very flexible schedule and am very reliable. I have a fenced in yard and will be able to give your pet all the attention and care they need! I am able to crate, walk, wash, feed, administer medications etc however you need.
“Amelia was so lovely!! We had a change in plans last minute and she rolled with it so well. I am so appreciative of her and her willingness to help! I would absolutely hire her again. She’s lovely and our pups loved her!”
“Julian did an excellent job taking care of my cat Simon. He followed all my instructions exactly like I wanted. He fed Simon at the appropriate schedule, cleaned his litter box, and made sure his water bowl was clean and filled. He also took the time to play with him and pet him so he wouldn’t feel lonely. I would hire Julian to take care of my cat again in a heartbeat.”

Jennifer was great! Very responsive and loving to our five month old mini schnauzer! She also took great care of our condo and even did some extras we asked. Could not recommend her highly enough as she did great with our baby who is a very active social puppy!
I HIGHLY recommend Sunny for your pets….and not just your dogs! Sunny watched over our two cats while on a Monday to Friday family trip to Aruba. Not only were they beautifully cared for, but she send photos and updates and made sure we made it home on arrival back! She left our house in perfect shape and I could not have asked for a better person to care for them! If you are looking for a pet sitter that is the best, you’ve found her! Thanks Sunny and Rover!
Paige was amazing! She responded promptly to my initial inquiry and continued to be extremely helpful and patient throughout the booking process, the actual dog sitting, and even afterward. She is professional and passionate. She clearly LOVES animals and is very sweet and attentive to them. Our lab puppies had a blast with her. She sent us pics and videos so we’d be updated. I have nothing negative to say about Paige. She gave us total peace of mind for our day away from our pups, and we are very grateful.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Edgewater on Rover is $52.17 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 755 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Edgewater. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
