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.

“Asel was extremely sweet, professional, punctual and responsive! It was my first time leaving my babies with anyone who isn’t family and I was so anxious! Asel did an amazing job not just keeping me updated, but keeping my babies happy and following the care guide provided. I 100% recommend Asel to anyone who wants to keep their babies safe and happy while away.”
“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: Hi, I’m Aldo, a dedicated pet sitter with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I’ve provided pet care for friends, family, and colleagues, ensuring their pets feel safe, happy, and well-loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra cuddles, I treat every pet like my own. My pet-sitting schedule is centered around Monday through Thursday, offering full availability for pet care needs. Each day, I provide morning walks, feedings, and drop-in visits from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM, ensuring pets start their day with attention and care. In the evenings, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, I offer walks, check-ins, and overnight boarding drop-offs for clients needing extended care. Fridays through Sundays are reserved for light availability or rest, though I remain flexible for weekend clients when needed. I provide personalized pet care in my client’s home, ensuring pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment while their owners are away. My services include feeding, refreshing water, walks, litter box cleaning, and playtime to keep pets happy and engaged. I follow each pet’s routine and care instructions closely, minimizing stress and maintaining consistency. If needed, I can also administer medications and accommodate special dietary needs. Throughout my visits, I offer regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for. My goal is to provide attentive, loving care while keeping pets safe and comfortable in their own home.
“Drew has been our Go-To for a few years now. They are like clockwork with their updates. We have a very leash reactive tri-pawed schnauzer who Drew is able to handle. We also have a 17 year old schnauzer that has some special needs due to his advanced age. Drew is able to handle it all, meds and supplements for each dog, special feeding time care, etc. We can’t recommend them enough.”
“Alicia did a great job watching Ernie for the day. She communicated well beforehand, took pictures and updated me on how he did, and left the apartment the same as when we left. I definitely recommend her and would use her again!”
“Michele was quick to respond to any of our texts while she was taking care of our two cats, and sent us pictures daily. She was so kind as to come two days early to stay with one of our cats who was having some health issues. She paid extra attention to one of our cats who has health/behavioral issues and notified us of any issues the cats were having. We felt comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely hire her again!”
“Iris is AMAZING! such a great communicator and got back to me on such quick short notice on taking care of Miko the day before and took care of her like she was her own I absolutely recommend her ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I had Arin watch my dog & cats for a few days while I was gone and she was so great! I met up with her prior to leaving and I immediately felt comfortable with her and trusted her to take good care of my pets/ be in the house. She was super sweet and my dog took to her right away. She sent me daily updates and pictures and I felt completely comfortable while I was away. Would definitely rebook :) thank you Arin!”
“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, followed his schedule, sent a photo update, and played with him regularly. I came home to a very happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love for you pets. I've cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and friends and family often trust me with their pets when they're away. I work Monday-Friday full time, but I have flexibility to work from home so my schedule is flexible. I'm happy to arrange my schedule as needed. I am easily adaptable to different environments so I will stick to ground rules set by the client. Strong communicator so will make sure everything goes smoothly.
“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!”
“It was the first time for my dog to be sitted with someone he didn”t know. That brought me anxiety but Brionna in the meet and greet gave me enough confidence to hire her. Although Pelusa played hard to get the first day, they bonded very well as days passed by. I will definitely trust Brionna again to sit for Pelusa.”
“Pedro was amazing with our dogs and cats! He is friendly, responsive, responsible, and thorough. He took great care of them and gave us updates while we were away. Our pets really felt comfortable with him and we are so grateful!”
“This was our first time having Razan watch our cat, and she was fantastic! She is proactive, considerate, and highly communicative. I especially appreciated that she took the time to meet our cat beforehand to learn how to administer his asthma inhaler. While we were away, she was attentive to all his needs and sent daily photos and updates. We returned to a clean and tidy apartment. Thank you so much, Razan!”
“Mika took great care of our cat Millie! She was very responsible, sent plenty of photo updates of Millie, and took excellent care of our apartment—we really appreciated it!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edgewater
You know when you leave your dog for the weekend and she smells BETTER when you pick her up?! My dog so clearly had a great time with Mary (and her pup Graham!). Mary kept me updated throughout with such great photos, was communicative when needed, and is clearly just so great with dogs. My dog is… big and easily excited, so I worry about walkers/sitters keeping everyone safe on walks and dealing with the pulling. Mary had no issue with this, mostly because I think she’s such a calming and confident presence for my pup. Thanks Mary!!
Rachel was absolutely amazing! She was very responsive and enthusiastic about watching our sweet pug. She was very professional and asked so many great questions at our first meeting- it was obvious she cared a lot about her happiness, health, and safety. She shared so many amazing photos and videos of our pug along with fun updates which were so nice to receive when we were missing her! She went above and beyond and kept our space so clean. I feel so lucky we had the opportunity to have someone as wonderful as Rachel watch her and I would book her again in a heartbeat!
Martine was the best with our older chocolate lab! She took great care of him, followed his schedule and played with him, and gave us frequent updates. And the apartment was spotless when we got back. I would highly recommend and hope to use Martine’s services again!
Mirian was fantastic with our senior dog while we took a family trip abroad for a special occasion. We were able to truly enjoy our time away knowing that Nugget was getting lots of love, cuddles, and attentive care while we were gone. Mirian was punctual, detail-oriented, highly engaged, asked great questions about food and medication schedules, and overall made us feel very confident that we were leaving Nugget (and our apartment) in safe and capable hands. We enjoyed the photos and communication while we were away, and we were grateful to come home to our boy to find him happy and like he hadn't even skipped a beat. Highly recommend!
When I began looking for a house sitter last month, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Monique was available to book again! It was great having someone we know and trust taking care of our two dogs. We came home from a relaxing vacation to happy pets and a pristine apartment. I will definitely check Monique’s availability first thing the next time I’m on Rover!
Kate was great! She handled my instructions, and asked questions when I wasn’t clear on something. She was able to pill my cat, and also keep him from eating the other cat’s food (both were VERY important). She gave me updates each day, along with photos. I will definitely try and book Kate in the future for my cat house sitting!
Lauren was incredible with my cat!! She came through for me in a huge way, agreeing to watch him last minute for 8 nights. She was beyond accommodating and my cat absolutely loved her! She tended to all of his needs, gave me regular updates, and left my apartment clean and tidy when I returned. I’m looking forward to booking with her again!
Rudee is a shy girl but she was happy and all wags meeting Michele! I immediately felt comfortable leaving my anxious pup with her and she kept me at ease with updates. Michele was timely, responsive, and completely understanding of Rudee’s situation. Ideal pet support!
Brionna was wonderful and took amazing care of our baby! She is extremely sweet and sent us pics of him while we were away. She also communicated regularly via text and asked any questions she had that I could help clarify. We and our dog are thankful to her for such good care and we look forward to having her take care of him again in the future!

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 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 19,317 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.
