“Sianna was amazing. Our dogs loved her! She was punctual, kind, and kept us updated through her stay. She cuddled the dogs through the thunderstorm and did a great job administering eye medication and keeping the dogs separate during feeding time. She followed the noted instructions perfectly and we will definitely continue to call her!”

“Emma did a wonderful job watching our dog Finn. She was on time to pick up the key, and sent me pictures and texts throughout the booking so I knew Finn was fine. She played games with him, walked him and fed him on schedule. I know Finn was happy because he was not anxious when we got home. He is usually very needy and clingy after we have been away. This time with Emma, he was totally chill when we got home. I eould book with Emma again in a heartbeat!🐕👍”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of multiple kinds since I was 12. Mainly family animals but I would watch friends pets as well. 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!
About: I’m a mental health therapist and lifelong animal lover, so I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pets. I grew up around animals—my mom ran her own professional pet sitting business, and I learned from her experience with the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, and more—and have been trusted with their care since I was a teen. I’m comfortable and experienced with medicating pets when needed, always following your instructions carefully. As a pet parent myself, with my cat Luna at home, I know how much your pets mean. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes—young or old, big or small—and treat every pet like part of my family. Because when your pet is happy, you are happy! I work part-time as a mental health therapist, which gives me a lot of flexibility and allows me to stay local. Pet care is a meaningful way for me to care for others while also taking care of myself, so I’m truly present and intentional in the time I spend with your pets. I love creating consistent routines whenever possible—it helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. That means plenty of attention, play, and cuddles (always on their terms), along with keeping up with their regular feeding and routines. I’m attentive to cleanliness and will always make sure any messes are taken care of promptly. I keep a close eye on their health and can provide medication support when needed, always following your instructions and your vet’s orders carefully. I’m happy to send updates, photos, and notes so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. I’m also very open to discussing safety preferences and expectations to ensure the best experience for both you and your pets.
“Julia was great and very professional. Both of our GSD’s took to her immediately. She continuously sends updates which was very reassuring. I am grateful that we found her. We can now take more vacations and know that they will be in safe hands.”
“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”
About: I have been caring for dogs of all ages my entire life. I like to focus on making sure your dogs are comfortable when you are away. It can be a hard adjustment for both pet and owner to be separated, but I’m here to make everything easier! I’m currently working part time and am working on an online degree, so I will have a lot of time to spend with your pet! I have a large fenced in yard and a large home for the dogs to play and roam. Dogs are family in my house and are allowed on couches and beds. Water is always out in the open and access to the yard is freely given (unless otherwise specified). I try to play with the dogs and give each and every one special attention.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Edgewood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Edgewood on Rover is $39.09 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,581 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.
