“Adeib is and continues to be a great sitter for my puppy Norman, who gets so excited to see him whenever he sits. He sends updates throughout so I know he’s in good hands, and I come home to a very happy puppy!”
“Mika is the best! Our cat has some medical challenges and we are always worried when leaving him. Mika took great care of him and gave us frequent updates so we were able to have peace of mind during our trip. We are so grateful!!”
“Would highly recommend Razan. She does a wonderful job looking after my two Maine Coon cats, one of whom requires two medications twice daily. I can see they both love having Razan stay. They look comfortable with her and are often photographed snuggled up to Razan. She also looks after my flat and leaves it so clean and tidy. Really, a lovely sitter. I have booked Razan again at short notice for a few days and she was able to accept, which was really helpful and much appreciated :)”
“Aidan was so caring and professional when it came to my pitbull mix, Base, sending plenty of pictures. I came home to a happy, healthy boy. Aidan was also so sweet to me and respectful of the space he was staying in. As we needed a last minute sitter, I am so so grateful that he was available and really came through. I look forward to hiring him again in the future.”
“Candiance took amazing care of our elderly, attention-addicted cat while we were out of town, making sure she got her meds in and sending regular updates. She was also very gracious when our flight was delayed by several hours and we were late getting back.”
About: Passionate and responsible dog caregiver with 8 years of experience in providing loving and attentive care to dogs of all breeds and sizes. As a dedicated pet lover, I ensure that every dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for in my presence. My daily routine might include scheduled walks, feeding times, play sessions, and check-ins with pet owners. I start the morning with a few dog walks, visit pets who need midday care, and have evening check-ins for feeding and companionship. Also, I offer overnight stays for clients who travel, basic training or even dog daycare services. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment. I ensure they have a clean space to rest, plenty of exercise, and mental stimulation through play and training. I follow their feeding schedule, provide fresh water at all times, and offer companionship throughout the day. In my client’s home, I maintain the pet’s routine to reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes scheduled walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care they require. I also provide updates and photos to reassure pet owners that their furry friends are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, safe, and comfortable, whether in my home or theirs!
“Richard was fantastic. He wasn’t available for our full trip, but immediately offered to pair up with his girlfriend to cover the full time if we were okay with that while also being clear that he’d understand if we weren’t. They both came over to meet us and our super-senior cat, Mad Eye, ahead of time and were very communicative while we were gone, sending lots of pictures and updates on her eating and medication. They were also very helpful and accommodating when we had an unexpected change in travel plans last minute and very respectful of our space. We’d absolutely use either or both of them again!”
“Emily was so great! Very communicate while watching Fitz at our place for a week long vacation. We loved getting our Fitz updates daily. Would absolutely recommend!”
“First time leaving our dog with anyone other than us and glad we found/felt comfortable leaving him with Jackson! Appreciated updates throughout the night and his attention to detail. will be sure to keep him in mind for future.”
“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’m a great choice for long vacations or quick potty breaks! I strive to make your dog feel calm and cared for. I enjoy walks and enrichment time with the pets! I also take pride in my ability to maintain your house rules. For example, if your pet isn’t allowed to sit on the couch, it won’t be occurring with me! I have a full time job but I plan to make time during evenings and weekends! I also work in between chelsea and meatpacking, so I’m always available for a quick potty break! I ensure that your pet’s needs are met and the house stays in solid shape! I never want it to feel like your pet was running the house while you were gone.
“Natalia was great with our boys and took great care of our home. She looked after them for a week while we were in Greece and sent frequent updates — our kitties love her. She was very attentive to their needs and when we had a bit of an issue with our fridge too. Will definitely be seeking her services again in future.”
“Mia is absolutely delightful. She gave my very needy kitty a lot of attention, playtime and cuddles. She sent plenty of photos and updates. My kitty got comfortable with her immediately. I’m confident in Mia’s care and will definitely be hiring her again.”
About: Note: due to a foot injury, I am only able to watch cats from now until May. Profile will be updated when I can walk dogs again I've grown up with pets always around (dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, fish) , and when I became old enough to, I adopted a cat of my own. He's since passed on, but I continue to share my love with the animal world as a volunteer for cat & dog adoption agencies, pet sit for friends, and am famous amongst all the dogs in my neighborhood for "Best Pup Massage." Feb- April: Due to injury, I'm working FT from home 4-5 days/week. I work in office 2-3 days per week but have flexibility there if your pet needs an at home buddy during the workday! Obviously I can provide walks a few times a day, even when working from office. I am happy to board or come to you and help care for your pet in the comfort of their home and space. I do have 2 other dogs on my building floor but can coordinate with them to avoid interaction if your dog is a bit shy around others. I'll always ask to meet first or at least have a video conversation before booking -- head's up though: I ask a lot of questions to ensure the comfort and safety of your pet and myself.
About: I have 4 years of personal pet care experience and 1 year in professional experience with pets, from dog walking to doggy daycares! I’ve dog walked many senior dogs, as well as dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ll be sure to follow any requests needed to bond with your fur baby and make sure they have the best time! I’ve worked with many companies from daycares to walking businesses. But I’ve been a personal dog walker for around a year now and I’d love to form a strong bond with your pups when needed! I shower my dogs with cuddles and loads of pet time at home. Once I can build a special bond with your fur baby I’ll be sure to treat them like my own!
“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!”
“Brianna was fantastic! She was very communicative from the first text message and sent regular photos, videos, and updates of our brand new puppy so we could be at ease while away. Highly recommend Bri!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edgewater
This was our first time leaving Enzo with someone he didn’t really know, and we were so grateful for how sweet and nurturing Mirian was with him. He seemed very happy and content in her care, which really put us at ease. She also went above and beyond to clean him up after the rain. He was overdue for grooming, so his paws were especially wet and dirty, and she even took care of some mess stuck in his fur! We really appreciated the extra care and kindness she showed him and would happily book with her again.
I highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking for dependable care for their dogs. While he stayed with our pups, he followed their feeding and walking schedules without fail, and then went further by playing with them and even giving them baths. He sent frequent updates and responded quickly whenever we reached out. He even mopped the house before we got back, which was a thoughtful surprise. We're so grateful for his care and will absolutely be booking him again.
First time using Emily. It was slightly hard not to feel offended that my puppy was WAY more interested in her than me! From the outset Emily was professional, friendly, communicative and responsive. I felt safe and happy knowing she was in my home looking after my pup. She asked sensible clear questions about what I wanted her to do and how. Emily sent lovely photographs - reassuring as I'm still not used to leaving him. I returned home to find a happy puppy and everything clean and unchewed!
Rachel always goes above & beyond for our puppy. I so appreciate that she stayed later than anticipated bc our pup decided it wasn’t bed time yet, and she sent us the cutest photos of her in her Halloween costume. I always know Martini is in the best hands with Rachel and I appreciate how she cares for and prioritizes her! Thank you again for another great sit 💕🐶
Thank you Vivian for taking such good care of my baby, that it gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Vivian went above and beyond in caring for my pup, sent me lots of photos and videos throughout, and even graciously extended her stay when I had an unforeseen emergency. Just knowing that my baby was happy and well taken care of was a great relief. I’ll be rebooking her 100%.
Aiyesha was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my cat, Mishkaw, while I was out of the country, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a spotless apartment. She went above and beyond by stripping the sheets, cleaning up before leaving, and even leaving me little matcha KitKat treats with a thoughtful thank-you note. Such a sweet and unexpected gesture! Aiyesha is kind, considerate, and incredibly thoughtful. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Mishkaw was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily have her stay again. Thank you, Aiyesha!
Olivia took excellent care of our dog and cat while we were away recently.Not only was she very warm and compassionate in watching over our fur babies, but she was punctual, extremely responsive, and very attentive in following our pet care instructions. On top of that, Olivia left our apartment in great condition while staying at our place while we were away. It was a pleasure coming home to happy pets and everything in perfect order. I highly recommend Olivia to be trusted with your pets. We look forward to having her stay for ours again. A+++
Brionna was amazing! As a first time rover user I was unsure what the process was like and what to expect. She answered all my questions I had about how the app works! My dog Cosmo loved her, she took time to take him to the dog park and he got to do his favorite activity of sunbathing. She sent me pictures daily of my pet, which I really appreciated. I will for sure be booking her again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Edgewater is $67 per night as of November 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.

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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
