“Keaton was AMAZING. We got multiple adorable pics and updates daily, so appreciated! They provided absolutely perfect care to our babies, one being a senior cat who needs daily injections and a bit of extra care to get her calories in. Not only that, but they went above and beyond keeping our house tidy and handling tasks that were beyond what we had even discussed. We will absolutely be booking them again. Thank you Keaton!”
“Jayne watched our two dogs for three nights while we were out of town. One of our dogs is anxious and takes some time to warm up to new people but Jayne didn’t bat an eye during the meet and greet. It’s clear she has experience handling a wide variety of temperaments and Winnie warmed up to her quickly. We came home to two very happy dogs and a clean house. Grateful to have found a trustworthy person who seems to enjoy connecting with a variety of doggy personalities.”
“Jacqlyn and her dog Awoo are fantastic! They took excellent care of my home and my dog, Max. The place was spotless when I returned, and Max was happy, well-fed, and clearly loved. Awoo was a great playmate for Max, they are clearly best friends. Jacqlyn was communicative, reliable, and went above and beyond. Highly recommend her for all your pet-sitting services!”
“Sharon was amazing. She sent pictures everyday and Post was very happy. She followed our instructions and exactly and was very flexible and understanding to Post’s needs. Highly recommend and will absolutely have Sharon watch him again.”
About: My name is Tiana Palmer. Born & raised in Baltimore, MD by way of Dallas, TX. I travel back and forth from both areas for work and open to welcoming new clients as the fall/winter season is approaching. I have always had a passion for taking care of animals, especially canines. I have plenty of clients who can vouch that at all times their dog, cat, even a turtle can be trusted in my hands. With my personable spirit and love for the animals I have been recognized by my peers and colleagues on numerous occasions about my enthusiasm and passion for care taking. My availability is pretty open. I’m usually free for walks in the morning til the evening. If it’s overnights I will follow the client’s schedule. I have extensive experience in animal welfare, animal behavior and language. Also, prompt if meds are needed for pet. The schedule such as feedings, walks, baths and etc. that the client has for their animal it will be as followed.
“Jasmine is one of the most caring and conscientious petsitters we've ever had! Our dog can be difficult and shy with new people but she absolutely loved Jasmine, and Jasmine was so patient with her. Jasmine took the time to understand both our cat and our dog's routines and quirks. She also sent us lots of cute pics of them while we were gone. I'd recommend Jasmine to anyone!”
“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”
“Second time I used Imani and not only did I come home to a happy dog (as happy as he can be as the grumpiest dog ever) but also to a perfect home which makes it seem like she was never here and so she must be a wizard! Thank you see you next time!”
“Katherine was an amazing Petsitter for our pup! She was highly communicative, sent lots of photos, and was able to be flexible and patient as we navigated some new-home challenges. We would definitely reach out to her again with no reservations.”
“Gabs did a great job with my pup, Lula Mae. Lu was well cared for and I got great communications & updates. Gabs also left our home spotless, which was much appreciated when I got home from my trip! We look forward to booking with Gabs again in future!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. :::writing{variant=“social_post” id=“64127”} I have a flexible schedule Monday through Wednesday and am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. Thursday through Sunday, I work from 4–11 PM, but I’m available for morning and afternoon care before work and overnight care after I get home. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine to make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owner is away. I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other specific needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also keeping the home clean and secure. I’m respectful of each pet’s personality and will provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Karima took excellent care of our dog Goose and our apartment while we were away for over a week. She was caring, responsive, and helpful throughout her stay. She sent us daily updates and was very professional. She left our apartment clean and Goose absolutely loved her! I would definitely book with Karima again and suggest her for any of your dog sitting needs.”
“Sara did a great job taking care of our pups that have somewhat specific instructions due to their (small dog) personalities. We got frequent updates and pictures and our house was left clean and tidy. 10/10 would recommend and we will definitely use her again if she is available.”
“Really great. Lots of pictures. Extremely responsive and good with the pets. House was immaculate (cleaner than I left it, which was unnecessary but very kind). Would definitely book again.”
“Alex was simply amazing! We didn't have to worry one bit while he was pet/house sitting for us, and we were able to have a carefree and relaxing vacation! We received many photos and updates all week, and he even won over our very shy cat! He really must be the cat whisperer☺️ He played games and went on many walks with our pooch too! The house was clean when we got home, and he even washed his linens so we didn't have to! We have already booked him again for our next getaway! Don't hesitate!! Alex is fantastic ☺️”
“Hello, Jocabet did an amazing job house sitting my fur babies! She is very attentive to their care and gave them an abundance of cuddles and snuggles. Her attention to detail during the meet and greet was impeccable! All my fur babies were sad to see her go! I recommend Jocabet hands down for any type of care you may need for your fur babies! Best, Kim”
“Marcus and his wife, Shenee, were fantastic!! They were able to watch our pups relatively last minute. The dogs immediately loved them. You can tell they both genuinely love and are at ease around dogs. Shenee sent us frequent updates and photos. I would highly recommend them!!”
“Megan was wonderful watching my mother's dogs. They were super responsive and was able to handle a booking on a very short notice. I would definitely use Megan again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edmonston
Nadia has truly been amazing with Brooklyn and has gone above and beyond every single time she cares for her. As someone who works long 13 hr shifts, having a sitter I can genuinely trust and feel comfortable with means everything to me. Nadia communicates with me throughout my shift, sends updates, and is incredibly proactive and diligent with Brooklyn’s care. She has honestly eased so much of my anxiety when I’m away because I never have to wonder how Brooklyn is doing. What I appreciate most is the amount of thought and effort she puts into making sure Brooklyn is completely taken care of before I get home. By the time I walk through the door after work, Brooklyn has been walked, cared for, and settled, and everything is in order to the point that I can literally come home and go straight to sleep. That level of consideration is invaluable to me. She has also been incredibly helpful throughout Brooklyn’s potty-training process. She’s always willing to offer thoughtful tips and feedback, and she even took the initiative to create potty-training logs to track Brooklyn’s pees and poops while in her care so that we could better understand her routine and progress. Nadia doesn’t just “watch” Brooklyn….she genuinely invests herself in her care and development. And after hiring other sitters in the past, you can definitely tell the difference between the care that others give compared to the care that Nadia gives. She is attentive, communicative, thoughtful, reliable, and consistently goes the extra mile. I’m incredibly grateful to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pup 🥹💗
Elise took wonderful care of Albert while we were away! She sent lots of pics and updates, and he seemed very happy and comfortable with her. She also took great care of our house and left it cleaner than it was before we left. We'd happily recommend Elise to anyone in need of a kind, caring, responsible pet sitter! Thanks, Elise!
Megan is an excellent pet sitter! She is very attentive to our dog who is older and requires medicine. She took time to reintroduce herself to our dog so that our dog would be comfortable with her while we were away. Megan is very professional and sends great updates. We can tell our dog was happy and well taken care of. Megan puts a lot of care into her work and we would highly recommend her!
Maria was absolutely fantastic. I loved that she came over for a meet and greet before the sitting. She was always on time and very communicative. Most importantly Halo loved her so much. Maria was so kind and gentle and sweet with Halo. She was really attentive to her needs. I will 1000% be booking her again.
Tyette was fantastic. She sent us pics of all the dogs several times during the week, and offered to stay later on the last day in case our flight was delayed (it wasn't). She knew to keep the dogs inside during the smoke/air quality alert from the Canadian forest fires. We would absolutely hire her again.
Sean was absolutely fantastic! He watched our two Goldendoodles, Leo and Milo, for a full week and did an amazing job taking care of both the dogs and our home. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire stay, sent us regular pictures and updates, and always made sure to ask if there was anything else he could do to help while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and a house that was in great shape. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Leo and Milo were in good hands while we were gone. We would absolutely trust Sean to watch them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and thoughtful sitter!
Bryanna was great - very very kind and great with our two cats! She was able to help us a bit last minute and took all of our directions in stride. The cats really liked her and she took excellent care of them while we were away for almost a week. We needed drop in visits and I loved the photo updates she gave each time. She also was willing to look after our disabled gecko, so I highly recommend Bryanna if you also need someone to check in on your reptile!
Sharon was fantastic with our anxiety-ridden pit bull mix, Cookie. She snuggled with Cookie whenever she needed some extra TLC and made sure she got both a morning and an afternoon walk. From the moment we met Sharon, it was clear she has a natural bond with animals that is hard to define. She is easygoing, calm, and, most importantly, updates you daily with a brief summary and pictures of your pet. I would love to have her dog sit again and will definitely recommend her services to friends in the future!
Cannot say enough good things about Keaton. They looked after our 3 cats for two weeks. They capably handled multiple different kinds of meds for each cat, made sure each had their different needs for playtime and feeding met, and did it all with so much care for each. They sent multiple updates every day throughout the 2 weeks, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away, knowing the cats were in such good hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Edmonston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Edmonston on Rover is $61.05 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 10,948 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Edmonston. 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 Edmonston 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 Edmonston 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 Edmonston 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 Edmonston. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
