“I could not be happier with Sara! This was my first time having a non-family member watch my dog while I was out of town and I was so nervous about it. I looked at a lot of options before deciding on Sara and am so glad I did - Sara stayed at my place and with Sasha for two weeks. She took such wonderful careful of Sasha and sent me multiple pictures and updates every day. Sasha clearly loved her and Sara treated her like her own, making me feel so at ease and letting me enjoy my vacation without worrying about her. On top of that, she left my apartment just as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Sara in the future and am so relieved to have found someone I can trust! Could not recommend Sara more.”
“Carlos was great! He had consistent communication that left me stress-free for my time away from home. My pets were well taken care of and so happy in all the pics he sent. Already trying to book him for my next trip!”
About: Dog owners will be especially satisfied with the services I provide because I have skillfully and diligently learned how to understand and absolutely adore dogs. My experience comes from years freelance dog walking (and when I could I'd sit) for neighbors and teachers I went to high school with. I was taught by my teachers even outside of school about dogs and how to be a dog person. They even helped me with training my own. I have owed and cared for American Pit Bulls(owned), Chow Chows, Yorkshire Terriers, Shih Tzuz, Maltese Pups(Owned), Golden Retrievers and Bolognoses. My pet care services include Walking, (which I love most in this season when physical play is at its high for me.) Drop ins, Training and Grooming(for an additional fee). I have took Dog Obidience Classes at Petco in the Bronx NY 2012 and 2015 which was recommend by one of my clients I worked with back in 2012. I watch tons of educational videos about the psychology of dogs on my free time and I am actively always searching for ways to enhance my skills in dealing with dogs and cats alike. I am very responsible and have worked with many high profile professionals who have have been in need of a reliable person to act as an assistant. (Via TaskRabbit) From first meeting my clients, they will naturally sense my honest and loyal personality. (Just like a puppy :) - you pups best friend
“Genesis was amazing!! She kept me up to date with cute pictures and took such good care of my dog, giving her so much love and attention! I can’t recommend her enough!!”
About: I have experience with dogs ranging in size as well as cats and reptiles. Your multi-pet and mixed pet homes are no problem for me! My schedule is flexible and I’m looking forward to playtime with your fur babies! I am a musician new to Harlem and NYC, so while I’m getting my footing my routine is quite flexible and able to be worked around pet care. I currently have 2 cats that I completely adore. My care routine for them includes feeding, cleaning the litter, changing the water, and giving them enrichment.
“Gigi is kind, respectful, tidy and great with my pets. I have three of them which can be a handful to look after but she did a great job at looking after them while I was on a business trip. They all seemed to like her, and when I returned she kept my place very tidy and clean. I will arrange a weekly walking service with her in the future so the puppy can let out energy throughout the day. It was a pleasure working with her!”
About: I have over 2 years of pet care experience. I love animals and not afraid of things get dirty, mess, scary, or all three with your animal. I’ll make SURE everything is ok 👍🐾🍇🌞 My schedule is completely open, so I can work at whatever hours are good for you. I provide all services except for taking care of pets in my house. I care for pets by making a connection with them, keeping them within there barriers and keeping an eye on them at all time. Ok
“We always love having Iris watch our pup, Remy. Remy is always soo excited to see her, jumping up and down and giving puppy kisses. Iris does a great job of sending pictures and videos of Remy so I get to see him having a good time even when I am out and about. She is even super sweet and patient about when I was dealing with terrible traffic and couldn’t home until almost an hour after I had planned to be home. Thank you so much, Iris! I always know Remy is in good hands with you.”
“Dayshalis was wonderful with our cats, and a great comfort to know they were in good hands while we were out of town. This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous at first, but Dayshalis made me feel very comfortable right away with how responsive, kind, thoughtful, and respectful she was. She was curious about both our cats, learning their personalities and how to best engage them and give them each what they needed. Dayshalis sent us many photos while we were gone, which were really appreciated, and I could see in the photos that the cats were not only at ease and calm, but enjoying themselves and the interactions they were having with Dayshalis. When we got home, the cats weren’t at all upset that we had been gone, as they sometimes have been with other cat sitters. We really appreciate the care Dayshalis took, and highly recommend her as an excellent pet sitter. Thanks Dayshalis!”
“Jackson was great with our Great Dane Wrigley. He was prompt, communicated well and was able to book in with less than 2 weeks notice. I would definitely recommend Jackson for any one in need of a house sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m currently a mom to a 5 year old chiweenie who I’ve raised since he was 3 months old :) additionally, I’ve fostered dogs of all kinds and have become great at adapting to each dog’s individual needs. From puppies to seniors to special needs dogs, I’ve cared for them all. I am very flexible Friday through Monday. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, and I am home on most weekends and would be happy to care for your pup. My apartment is very safe and generally “proofed” for dogs. I have a crate for my own dog and am happy to crate your dog if needed.
“Asel is the absolute best. Her warm and welcoming demeanor had my relatively shy and anxious dog immediately obsessed with her. I was shocked to see pictures of my pup on a long walk (not something she usually enjoys other than with people she knows really well) and even feeling playful with her toy. Again these are somewhat normal for most dogs but my girl Hazel is usually very reserved with people at first and just likes to be snuggled up at home. Asel was also very respectful of my home and I felt super comfortable with her there!! 10/10 truly can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Razan was a great help when we needed to book a sitter pretty last minute. She came over for a meet and greet and was really thorough in her questioning and communication as it related to Hugo. While Hugo was in her care I felt very in the know of how things were going and knew he was safe! She kept our space very clean and was a great guest and sitter to have.”
About: I have had a dog since I was 12 years old. I love all pets. I’m reliable, attentive, and your dog will have a great time with me! And I will always send you pictures of your pets whether you like it or not!!! Haha NOTE: Profile says crate-trained dogs only, but I do NOT put pets in the crate, it’s just a standard Rover drop down Also, I’d prefer potty trained dogs, but if your pet has accidents or is wee-wee pad trained etc please let me know ahead of time ☺️ I generally do have spare wee-wee pads! My calendar is regularly updated to reflect my availability. I am extremely flexible as I love all dogs (and cats). Your pet will have guaranteed fun with me! I live in a home with a gated backyard so you won’t have to worry about your pet running away or escaping. It is a very safe neighborhood and street!
“Diana does really well with my dog who is very anxious about meeting new people. She keeps me informed about everything my dog does and takes great pictures of my dog. She is very good at taking instructions and takes great care of my dog.”
“Drew has been our regular sitter anytime we are out of town. He has always been great and very accommodating of any special needs. We highly recommend!”
“Eden was an amazing sitter who was such a hero for stepping in last minute during an emergency situation. Sent me so many cute photos, took my pup to the park, and I felt so safe with her watching the dog. Thank you so much!”

Laine was an amazing dog sitter for my Bruno. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent me multiple updates throughout the day and plenty of pictures. I was able to enjoy my time away from my home knowing my dog was in such good and caring hands. I will definitely be rebooking with Laine!
Clay is amazing! I recently adopted a second cat, and their introduction is not going as smoothly as I expected. Since my 2 cats are not on good terms, I was worried about leaving, but Clay made everything easier. He sent me pictures every day, gave me updates about my kitties, and handled everything with kindness and patience. I would definitely recommend him!

Grace was my life savor. Literally 24 hours before an unexpected work trip. I urgently reached out to Grace and she was so lovely understanding and welcoming to watch Java for four days. She was easy to communicate with great with updates while I was away and Java had the best time. I would 100% recommend and I plan on using her in the future. Thank you again, Grace for all the help!! :)
Marine was an absolutely amazing dog sitter for my pup, Hunk! She kept me updated with constant pictures and messages and followed his routine perfectly. Hunk was so happy and in great spirits when I got home, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. 10/10 — I highly recommend Marine! 🐾
We reached out to Monique last minute to help us and she was a life saver! Our puppy loved her and we loved her for putting up with us! She was so accommodating especially because we had to have her watch our loud little guy in a hotel room while we went out. She eased his anxiety and ours and really allowed us to enjoy our mini vacation! Thank you!
Jason was the absolute best. Nothing else to really say. The attention to detail, the care, patience, love and safe environment he ensured for both our pups allowed us to be at ease while we had a last minute out of town event. If you’re looking for someone to dog sit, dog walk, or do anything with your dogs, I promise you, Jason will be the best at doing this. Jason has now joined our first calls whenever we need help in the future. Thank you, Jason!!!
Kizzy was absolutely wonderful with Dante and Spanky! She took such great care of them, and I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well loved while I was away. She was caring, responsible, communicative, and sent updates that gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Kizzy and would definitely trust her with Dante and Spanky again.
Reese is an exceptional sitter - we feel lucky to have found her in a last minute situation. She was wonderful with both our dogs, a very independent thinking Shiba-mix and an energetic terrier mix pup. She gave them excellent walks and attention as well as attending to their different nutritional needs. I also highly recommend her in a house sitting situation as she left the house spotless! Overall Reese is professional and dependable, very communicative and flexible.
Second time I book services with Arianna and I truly lucked out. She handled Ollie with such kindness and patience. I left without a worry. What really stood out this trip was how gracefully she handled an unexpected change. My trip got delayed by two days and she added extra days without missing a beat. She was flexible, kind, and completely unbothered by the disruption. In a moment that could have been stressful, she made it feel like a non-issue. That kind of generosity and professionalism is rare. We are so lucky to have found such a gem!

FAQs for House Sitting - Edgewater
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Edgewater on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 19,215 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
