We had several bad storms during her stay and she sat with him and snuggled him to soothe him throughout. She was in tune to his emotions and absolutely put him first in every situation without hesitation! He was a very happy boy and we could NOT have asked for a better experience! She also took very good care of the house and communicated with pics and videos every day. She is THE BEST!!”
“Audrey was amazing to our dog. She house and dog sat for 4 days while I was on vacation with my fiancé and we never had to worry. She was very punctual and provided great communication. Definitely recommend!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, patience, and genuine dedication to each animal’s well-being.

I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for pets with a flexible schedule. I willing to adjust to meet the cat’s needs. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable and cared for while they’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well.

About: Myself and my family have had dogs and cats for decades, I come from a line of dog breeders and have lost track the number of dogs I have trained and taken care of. I cannot board for longer than 12 days at a time. I work IT and can WFH when required. My cats go between my X and I so when they’re not around I can give them plenty of attention. I can’t board for longer than 12 days I’m very loving and active. I will spoil them rotten and give them plenty of attention should they need it. My cats get along great with other cats and dogs if you’d like them to have some company.
“Julia did a fantastic job watching our dog while we went out of town! She was very responsive and took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. We can be apprehensive about leaving our dog home, but Julia allowed us to rest easy and enjoy our vacation because of the care and attention she gave each day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted professional to watch their pet, and she will be our go-to resource for our dog moving forward.”
About: Hi! My name is MaKenzi and I have had pets as long as I can remember, I grew up with two pitbulls rescues, two smaller dogs, and an older cat that I assumed most of the care for as both parents worked full time jobs. Taking care of multiple animals at one time requires a lot of energy and the ability to organize the things they need well but I learned very quickly! Since I have lived on my own I have helped friends and coworkers with taking care of their beloved fur babies while they’re on vacation or just need an extra hand with their pets. In the last year I have rescued my own kitten and I have absolutely spoiled her with all of the patience, love, affection, and extra care that her heart could desire.
“Kelly was great ! We received regular updates with pictures of our pups. Communications leading up to our trip were also excellent which gave us a lot of confidence about our first booking with Kelly. When we returned our house was in good order and our pups were happy and calm ( as terriers can be :-) ) We will use Kelly again”

We also have a senior cat in the home.
“Ryan and Thomas house and pet sit for us for 12 nights- two dogs and four elderly cats- and we are absolutely thrilled with their service. Regular updates, and most importantly, our animals loved them. I look forward to using their services again. Two excellent human beings well worth the cost. So glad we found them!”

“Gabrielle has watched our pups twice now in our home. We have come home to happy pups and a clean house! Our dogs are older and can be a little quirky and Gabrielle has been more than willing to give them the love and attention they need!”
About: Very experienced pet sitter. I specialize in Boarding services at a very affordable price. I also offer budget options as well. I feel like everyone should be entitled to pet services that fits their financial needs. I am currently a stay at home mom for the next 4-5 years, so I have more than enough free time on my hands at the moment. I have a huge fenced park right behind my apartments so they are able to play all day as needed. In addition to the park, I have a ton of space in my apartment and a friendly dog of my own who loves to play. I have a variety of dog/cat treats and toys!
“Jacqueline was great. She took great care of our two labs. She kept us informed with texts and pictures. We had several modifications due to my wife's hospital stay, and we were able to work through them. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old!! I love all animals honestly. I’ve walked dogs, cleaned litter boxes. I’ve also bathed pets. Also cuddles are a must! Also play time is important! I would love to pet sit anytime! Pet care would be during the week in the evenings. The weekends I’m free to anything! I can do overnight stays on the weekends, I can walk, feed, and bathe pets. Depending on which service I’m doing, I do have a yard which your dog can play in. I also can bathe pets and feed them, and if you have a cat I can clean litter boxes and play and brush them!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edgewood
We booked Sarah to stay & watch our two dogs for a weekend away and she was perfect! I got picture/video updates a couple of times a day and she kept me up to date on how things were going throughout the day. She was a fantastic house guest as well - she even did her dishes, gathered her bedding/towels, and made sure the space was tidy. Communication, responsiveness, and overall experience was 10/10 for us! We will definitely be using Sarah again!
I can’t say enough good things about Serena! She treated my pet like her own—so attentive, patient, and caring. I got regular updates that really put me at ease, and I could tell my dogs and cats were happy and comfortable the whole time. It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Edgewood on Rover is $39.09 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 2,507 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Edgewood. 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 Edgewood 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 Edgewood 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 Edgewood 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.

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.
