“Lida is a gem! She kept my kitty, Shelly, happy and well taken care of. I enjoyed the photos of Shelly, which gave me peace of mind. The house was in perfect order and as clean as a whistle. We will definitely bod again with Lida, given her availability once people find out what s treasure she is!”
About: Hi! I’m Liz — an animal lover with a flexible remote work schedule and years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs. I’ve also fostered before, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can count on. I take that trust seriously and always aim to make things stress-free while you’re away — with regular updates, photos, and plenty of care and attention. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Your pup will be in great hands with me. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I work in the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and I’m home the rest of the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat it with the same care and respect as my own. I stick to your pet’s normal routine — walks, meals, and downtime — to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I make sure doors and gates are secure, follow all instructions closely, and leave your home just as I found it. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet’s doing while you’re away.
About: Hello! I am a former doggy daycare and kennel pet attendant of 3 years. I also raised and trained 2 working service dogs for veterans. Comfortable with large to small breeds of all temperaments. I am a young professional working M-F till 4pm but am missing pups in my life! I am available for walks and visits on weekday evenings as well as anytime on weekends. I have years of experience pet sitting in others home, as well as simple pick ups and drop offs for walks. I leave everywhere I go better then I found it. I am clean, respectful, and quiet. The only sign I was there will be your tired pup!
“Haley was great! She came over on really short notice and took great care of my pup Kobe. I was very grateful for her service. She was kind and attentive to details. Thank you!”
“Benjamin is tentative, kind, and caring with Maizie. I’ve used rover in the past and it’s safe to say he goes beyond the standard of taking care of your pup.”
“again, Haley took wonderful care of our pup, Kizzie. We’re especially grateful for her flexibility, as our travel schedule can sometimes be a bit unpredictable . She keeps us updated with photos and always reaches out if she has any questions or needs clarification on care. Thanks Haley! You’re the best!”
“Great experience! Consistent with communication, kept our home clean, and the dogs were very happy and relaxed. My only wish is for the Rover app to be more consumer friendly.”
“Kayla was an amazing sitter for Asja during my time away! I am very particular about my dog and can normally gauge from the meet and greet if the sitter is a good fit. The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We were gone for almost a week and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my Asja. I highly recommend Kayla and plan to use her for future sittings.”
About: I have grown up with medium to large sized dogs my whole life. I have experience with very friendly dogs and dogs that cannot play with others as well as puppies to older dogs. I have cared for my own pets and friends while growing up and can be trusted with any task to ensure your pets needs and safety! I can offer dog walking in the mornings (7-9am) or afternoons (4-7pm) during the week or anytime during the weekends. I am available on the weekends to check-in or stay with your animal overnight as well. I can check-in and care for your animal during the day or overnight at clients homes. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, bathed, played with and let outside for their needs. I am comfortable with any specific instructions from the owners as well (medication that needs to be taken, crate training, etc).
“We had a fantastic experience with Tyan L. From the start, he was punctual and professional, which immediately put us at ease. It was clear that he genuinely cared about making sure our dogs had a great time, going above and beyond to keep them active, happy, and well taken care of. We really appreciated the updates he sent while we were away—it gave us total peace of mind. As an unexpected and thoughtful bonus, he even gave us some wonderful restaurant recommendations in the area! If you are looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter for your pets, we highly recommend him. We will definitely be booking him again if needed.”
“We are so lucky to have found Snowden on Rover! She house sat for 5 nights over Christmas for our senior rescue dog, Maggie, and everything was perfect. Snowden is quick to respond to all communication and Maggie immediately took to her so we knew she was in good hands. Snowden made sure Maggie took her morning meds, took her for walks, and sent us daily pictures. When we got back, Snowden had done laundry, made the bed, washed all the dog dishes and left the house in great shape. We definitely plan to book her again!”
“Tiffany was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! She truly went above and beyond for our 2 kitties. She took perfect care of our home while we were gone and even washed her sheets and towels before she left, she even tidied up our litter room for us!! She was very responsive through the week sending lots of photos and was available for any check in or additional task we needed from her. She really prioritized our kitties play time and they clearly had an amazing time (given the graveyard of toys all over the house🤩). She even hand made these cute little toys, created little kitty forts with blankets and hand drew these adorable paper bugs she put on the windows to make sure they were stimulated in brand new ways!!! Tiffany will have our business as long as she is doing this and she will be recommended to all our friends. VERY THANKFUL FOR TIFFANY!!!”
“Alexxis was wonderful with our dog Maddie. She was very communicative with planning and sharing photos/updates and flexible when our drop off time changed and with dropping of Maddie at our home. Would recommend and use again!”
“Lindsay was amazing! Incredibly thoughtful and sent us photos and updates while we were gone. As first time Rover users and very nervous pet parents, she made us feel totally comfortable that they were in good hands. Our very shy rescue even warmed to her right away. Will definitely be using her again, thank you Lindsay!”

Lena and Sheii were great with Rory. He jumped a lot when they first arrived but were patient with him and he settled not long after we left. Lena sent lots of pics and kept me updated while we were gone. They left brought in our mail and packages (even a 34-lb bag of puppy kibble), ran the dishwasher, and kept the house very clean. They went above and beyond with Rory. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again!
Leticia was fantastic! She was caring, respectful and professional. My wife and I cannot recommend her enough. We received multiple video and picture updates throughout the day, she put us at total ease and allow for our vacation to be worry free and relaxing. We will use her in the future!
Maggie was our pet sitter in our home for two weeks while we were far away on vacation and we could not have asked for a better experience. She took great care of our small dog, including running her to doggy daycare on her regular days. She also took great care of our home, leaving it in immaculate condition. Her communication was also excellent, responding to our inquiries, and scheduling both an in person interview and a pre-trip walk around our house. Maggie was awesome and we plan to use her again when we might need a house sitter or Dog walker.
We couldn't have been happier. We came home to a happy, well cared for dog and a house that was spotless. Snowden is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly went above and beyond with some specific requests. We would absolutely recommend her and will gladly book her again.
Amelia did an outstanding job with my two Golden Retrievers, Tucker and Isabella. If they could talk they’d say “Get our big sister here again…please”! And she willingly went above and beyond. When my flight was delayed she stayed on past the arranged time to ensure the welfare or the pups.
Ezekiel is a wonderful, dependable, & communicative person. We have quite the menagerie at our house and he takes care of our 2 dogs, cat, birds, frogs, gecko & guinea pig as well as our house. We feel fortunate that he is so responsible & caring with our pets. We will have him pet/house sit again to be sure!!!!!
I just took a quick long weekend and Makayla made it so seamless for me. Cooper felt so loved in his own environment with her and the updates and pictures allowed me to enjoy my time. Makayla is fantastic, I almost don’t want to share how good she is because she will get to busy!!
Lacy is amazing. We trust her implicitly! She takes care of our “babies” as if they are her own. This last time, Camden wasn’t doing well. She immediately called me and worked with me to get a plan in place should things worsen. I love this sweet girl so much! She laid on the floor with Camden and gave him so much extra love.
5 stars! We are are new dog pawrents to a rescue pup. He’s a Pyr mix and is pushing 60 lbs and still growing! He has some separation issues and we feel more comfortable leaving him with someone while we are gone. Henriette was great and we will absolutely use her again. We chatted a few days prior to the appointment so that we were all on the same page. She is very easy to communicate with. Einstein, our pup, took to her and they had a great time. She kept us informed on how he was doing and what they were up to. They went on a lot of walks (he was conked out by the time we got home!) and kept busy! We definitely recommend Henriette and will will use her in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Edgewater is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $109 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 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
