“My elderly temperamental dog loved her time with Adeib. She immediately took to him, something that rarely happens. He kept me regularly up to date and I think the two of them had a great time. Would definitely book with Adeib again.”
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
“Asel is fantastic!!! I left my rambunctious golden retriever with her for 8 days at my house and she took phenomenal care of him. She kept me updated throughout the day of cute photos and was a clear and conscientious communicator, which gave me huge peace of mind when I was away. She also was willing to come meet with us before the actual trip to get to know Theo and he took to her immediately. I’ll definitely be using her services again!!”
“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!”
“Charlie was great! Extremely responsive and receptive with my Puppy, kept us up to date and was a great experience to have dog sittint especially given the tight turnaround. If the opportunity was required I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again”
“I think this was my fifth or sixth time I hired Anita, and she is simply the best! I can’t say enough nice things about her and how well she takes care of my Missy!!!”
“Kayla May took the best care of my pup while I was on vacation! She stuck to her daily routines, was super attentive, and consistently checked in with photos/videos and updates making my time away easier on both of us. Lucia loves Kayla May and I can tell feels really loved and cared for when she stays with her.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Candiance! She was so communicative throughout her stay with our dog and provided us with amazing photos and videos. She sent daily updates and our dog was so happy he barely even noticed we were gone. If I could give 10 stars I would!”
About: my nickname in school was “snow white”, so i believe it was natural for animals to love me, but that also might be the sense of calmness that i (apparently) possess. i’ll take care of your furry family members and they will be more than pleased with my company :D right now i’m vacationing, so my schedule is pretty flexible. i’ll start my college in fall, so i’m trying to save up some money for my tuition i used to live in my aunt’s house for 3,5 years, so i was a permanent caregiver for her lovely yorkie Luna. i fed her, gave her baths and, obviously, walked her, so i’m pretty familiar with how to take care of a dog
About: I’ve cared for lot of different dogs from anxious dogs, to the happy high spirited ones. In most cases I’ve found dogs away from home just need a little more attention & a little more patience. I like to set up their routine per owner instructions of course, and keep there life like business as usually if not better. Since I’m on a work from home Flexible schedule, I can dedicate a lot more time to tend to their needs through each day. I have very structured, and tend to be an early riser. I like to run or workout in the morning so typically would bring the dog with me to the park In the am with walks through out the day as I tend to run most errands walking distance. Etc All I ask is your informed me of any allergies, health or non health related problems so I can prepare for their stay. Communication is key.
About: I have been pet sitting for about 3-4 years now! I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and bunnies, but I am comfortable with all types of animals. Moved within the last two years from Buffalo, where my pet sitting was word of mouth, so giving this a go! Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! :) I work remotely, so I am able to stay with your pets in your home, as long as you have internet. Very flexible job, so I can give your pets all the love. :) I am very good at following instructions and have an attention to detail. Very comfortable with varying pet routines. I will make sure they are well fed and well loved! :)
“Shariana took amazing care of our cats while we were away. She was very communicative and checked in regularly. She was super conscientious about our cats’ habits and needs. We felt confident that our cats would be happy and kept good company. She also left our apartment tidy and clean while she stayed at our place. Highly recommend trusting Shariana with your cats/pets.”
“Jorge is just the best! A perfect Match for my 16 years old Lili! Jorge ‘a energy is great, he is smart and kind. He took very good care of my dog. I can only highly recommend his services.”
“Courtney was fantastic with our dog and our cat, too. She is very kind and definitely built a great bond with our dog while we were away. We hope to book with her again in the future.”
About: Hi! I'm a college student working toward vet school, so caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it’s what I genuinely love doing. I've had my own cat for 5 years, so I know what it's like to be a pet parent. I've also spent plenty of time watching other people’s dogs and cats, from very high energy puppies to older dogs who just want a quiet environment. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If something’s wrong I will reach out immediately. Since I'm on summer break, I have a pretty open schedule, but I do like to be upfront about my specific availability. I'm available Monday through Friday all day. On Saturdays, I'm available after 4:00 PM. I can also do evening visits, but I wrap things up by 10:00 PM. My schedule is pretty open until I start class the 28th of August. I will have class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11am to 1:45pm and Fridays from 10am to 1:45pm. I know routines are really important to pets, so I'll work around whatever schedule your pet is used to, like midday walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening check-ins before bed. Consistency is very important! I only provide care in your home because I believe that pets are more comfortable in their own environment, with their own things and smells. I'm really careful with doors or any gates and will always make sure to double check every exit to make sure your pet stays safely inside. I will treat your home the way I'd want mine treated, I will clean up after myself, wash any bowls I use, and leave things tidy. I'll also send any updates/photos at every visit so you can see how things are going. I will also save your vet's contact info, just in case of any emergency. I always like to be prepared for anything.
About: I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I am caring, patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe and comfortable while you are away. I will treat your pet with the same care, kindness, and attention I would give my own. I am available for pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I can provide overnight house sitting and give your pet plenty of attention, care, walks, and companionship throughout the weekend. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I will carefully follow your instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I will respect your home, keep you updated, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention and care while you are away.
About: Hi! I’m Ydalmi (I go by Stella), a born & bred New Yorker, creative, yogi, world traveler, and lifelong animal lover who genuinely believes animals have a way of bringing us back to ourselves. 🐾✨ I’ve worked at a doggy daycare as a dog walker and content creator, pet-sat for friends for yearss, and have been lucky enough to be a dog and cat owner myself. I’m also the proud godmother of a dog AND a cat..so yes, I take my honorary auntie duties very seriously😂 I’m high energy, outdoorsy, and always down for a good walk, adventure, or play session. But I also know every animal has their own personality, some want nonstop activity, some want cuddles, and some need a little time to decide if they approve of you. I meet them where they are. Whether your pet needs a long neighborhood adventure, some serious playtime, a cozy companion, or someone to keep their routine exactly as they like it, I’m here for it. You handle your plans. I’ll handle the tail wags🐾 And yes..I will probably send you way too many cute photos. Consider that part of the service😜📸💕 I work remotely as a creative, so my schedule is naturally flexible and home-based. I manage an apartment overseas alongside my writing and creative projects, which means I’m used to organizing my days independently. Pet care fits beautifully into my routine, I love taking creative breaks for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I live right up the block from Central Park, with a dog park about 10 minutes away, so a day with me can include plenty of walks, play, enrichment, and attention. 🐾✨ Safety and trust come first. I treat every pet like an individual, taking time to learn their routines, personality, boundaries, and what makes them feel comfortable. I’m naturally high-energy and love walks and play, but I’m equally attentive to the quieter moments and any changes in behavior. Since I work remotely and record creative content for a living, I’m used to being observant, organized, and tuned into my surroundings. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or theirs, I keep their environment clean, secure, and consistent with their normal routine. I’ll also keep you in the loop with updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love.🐾💕

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edgewater
Reese is the best!! We just adopted a rescue dog named Koopa a few weeks ago and Koopa loved her from their first meet-and-greet. Reese pet-sat while we were gone for the evening. She was super patient and attentive to Koopa's needs, taking her on multiple walks and keeping Koopa engaged with her toys. Koopa is a bigger dog and still learning how to walk on the leash appropriately with a trainer, so we wanted someone who could handle that energy on her walks and Reese did exactly that! Koopa has a bit of separation anxiety, and it was such a relief to know she was in great hands while we were gone. Reese is excellent at communication and we appreciated all the updates with photos/video while we were out. We came home to a very happy and chilled out dog! I know Koopa can't wait to get another Reese visit, we will definitely be booking with her again!
We had a great experience and felt completely comfortable leaving our two pups in his care! He was very attentive to their routine and made sure he understood everything they needed beforehand. He also kept us updated while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our dogs are still young and definitely have some puppy behaviors that we’re working on, and he was very patient and understanding with them. It was clear that they were well cared for and in good hands the entire time. We came home to two happy pups and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. We’d happily book with him again!
Adeib is a very caring and thoughtful sitter. He came early so that we could go over all of ButtetScotch’s medications etc. He seemed to genuinely enjoy hanging out with our boy and our boy liked Adeib as well. We will definitely be booking him again and recommend him highly. Thanks again Adeib.
Desiree was absolutely wonderful with our girl, Topanga! She was so sweet, patient, and understanding, especially when it came to Topanga’s separation anxiety. She took the time to understand her needs and made sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved throughout the day. It means so much to us knowing our girl was in such caring hands. Thank you, Desiree, for treating Topanga with so much love and kindness! We truly appreciate you and would happily book with you again! ❤️
Megan was absolutely phenomenal. Her and our boy got along wonderfully. She had excellent communication, sent us images after each message, and would reach out without needing our initiation. No issues at all and left our home in perfect condition. Our boy was so well taken care of, would absolutely recommend and cannot wait to use her again in the future!
Rachel and Mitchell were amazing! They took care of our two senior dogs at our home for 10 days. They made a home visit prior to the booking, and our dogs loved them instantly. During the booking, they sent lots of photos and were super responsive. They took such good care of them - it was a relief for us to know they were in good hands. When we return home, our dogs were calm and happy, and our home was cleaner than we left it! Don’t hesitate to book with them! They’re awesome!
Thanks to Anupa for taking such great care of our Stella! She shared wonderful photos with us during the afternoon. And she was honest with us about some concerns she had with our dog’s behavior and particular needs which made us feel grateful that we can address those issues together as team. Thanks again Anupa!
Jean is an incredibly caring and sweet individual. He loves dogs and went out of his way (literally!) to care for our dog in between being a full time teacher. He hears every note about your pet and checks in frequently with videos to make sure everyone is updated. Thank you again Jean!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Edgewater is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $122 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.
As of October 2026, there are 19,240 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
