“Megan took exceptional care of our older dog, Milly, over the long weekend. Milly requires extra patience and attention, and Megan quickly earned her trust, helping her feel comfortable and at ease. Her communication was prompt, professional, and reassuring. It was clear Milly wasn’t just being watched—she was genuinely cared for with kindness and attentiveness. We’re very grateful for the thoughtful care and would recommend Megan to anyone. We’ll absolutely book with her again.”
“Alex was great! We left our puppy with him for our first time apart and he sent a ton of updates and pictures. Boba looked so happy in all the pictures and Alex did a great job building a relationship with him especially since Boba doesn’t usually like men. I plan to use Alex again in the future and am confident Boba is in good hands!”
“Really appreciate Jared's attention to detail. Our pets have a somewhat complicated feeding schedule! Communication level was great and gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Stephanie. She went above and beyond caring for our Penny. We're still training Penny, who is a puppy, and Stephanie helped reinforce good behavior on walks and inside. Penny even got a nice massage and music therapy! We hope to have Stephanie care for Penny again.”
About: 🐶I’ve taken care of our Family Rottweiler, Mini Schanuzer and Elderly Shitzu mix. I’ve also had my Chihuahua since I was a teenager. With that being said, I am very experienced with dogs of any size from pup to senior 🐕🦺. I work from home which makes it easier to spend time with the pups as well as keep a close eye on them. This is extremely convenient if your fur baby has separation anxiety! I have a fenced in yard and two Fur babies to keep your Pup company during their stay! I’ve also got a large crate if needed.
About: I have experience caring for my family’s dog when I’m in town, as well as two senior dogs featured in my photos. One has a history of cancer, so I’m familiar with administering medication, providing extra attention, and accommodating the unique needs of older dogs. I bring patience, compassion, and a genuine love for animals. I work from home 9–5, Monday through Friday, giving me flexibility to provide walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine and individual needs, providing walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistent communication with owners.
“Pambi was an amazing house sitter — she sent me nightly recaps of the days activities, and left the house in perfect condition. I’d highly recommend working with her!! Your plant and animal companions will be well cared for.”
About: I have experience caring for my family pets in my hometown in California as well as experience caring for pets of other family members, friends, and acquaintances. I am a lover of animals and treat pets with kindness and patience. I am also respectful of owners’ homes and belongings and always do my best to leave the Home looking the same or better than it did when I arrived. My new job does not begin until the new year, so I have plenty of flexibility for the months of November and December. While my preference is to work on weekdays, I can be flexible with weekends as well. I will care for your pet according to your preferences as the owner. I will respect the limits you set for your pet (e.g., providing the appropriate amount of treats, certain areas being off-limits) and protect them from hazards. I like to make sure animals feel safe, secure, and cared for.
“Karina was an excellent sitter for my dog and cat over a weekend away. She took great care of my pets and sent plenty of updates and pictures, took my dog on nice long walks, was patient with my shy kitty, and left my place in pristine condition.”
“Used Tobias while we went away on vacation. He was great with Bailey and Kali. He listened to our care instructions and attended to their needs perfectly. He is extremely easy going and communicative. Loved getting pics everyday to see how our dogs were doing. Def will rebook and recommend him to anyone”
“As always, Trisha is a wonderful sitter for us. In addition to providing excellent care for our beloved pets, she handled a home maintenance emergency that came up while we were away with a cool head and consistent communication. We’d highly recommend hiring her for your house sitting needs.”
“Daniel took great care of Huckleberry and was an amazing house sitter as well. I think things look even better than I left them! I’ll be sure to book him again should I need another sitter.”
About: I have had two dogs basically my whole life and an additonal three cats as of 2020. In my past I worked as a dog bather at a dog grooming facility. There I not only bathed dogs but also walked, played, and fed them as well. The shop had a cat rescue program so I also cared for cats in the same way. I have had experience with all shapes and sizes of cats and dogs as well as dealt with a variety of ages. I am extremely flexible right now, I can come as early and late as needed. I have my own car so distance isn't an issue. Whatever is best for the pet owner works for me. I am okay crating your pet if needed, giving them medicine, or just spending time with them. I am extremly flexibe and want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for more than 20 years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and following detailed care instructions. I also have house-sitting experience caring for pets in their own homes, which has taught me how important it is to keep their normal routine consistent while their family is away. I’m dependable, attentive, and I love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are being well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority throughout the week. I’m available for house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I enjoy keeping pets on their normal routines and can plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other care needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow their normal routine and all instructions provided by their pet parent. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so pet parents can feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: I have been doing sits with TrustedHousesitters for the past year- I’ve done 20 sits so far around the country and within DC, some as long as 3 weeks. Through that app I’ve watched everywhere from small to large dogs, puppies to old (with a strict medicine regimen), and multiple dogs at once. I’ve also done a number of cat sits (and grew up with cats!) Happy to provide my profile from TrustedHousesitters with all my reviews! I currently work remotely and have a flexible call schedule so I’m looking to find some sits that I can fit in throughout the day and over the weekend. I’d love to find some options when people are out of town, but happy to consider a more regular sit schedule as well. I would not be able to care for the pets in my own home, but happy to come to you! I also am happy to stay overnight for pets that need more attention.

The median cost per night for house sitting in Edmonston is $53
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edmonston
Danielle and her husband took such wonderful care of our high-energy, 2.5-year-old foster dog while we were away on a trip! We really appreciated their excellent communication, photos, and regular updates. Before leaving, we were a little anxious about leaving our dog for the weekend, but they made us feel so much more at ease. We highly recommend Danielle and her husband for house and pet sitting, and we’ll absolutely be booking them again! I know our foster dog will be SUPER excited to see them next time! 🐾
We cannot possibly overstate how spectacular Thalia is as a pet sitter! She took care of our pup and our house for a week and it was such a delightful experience. Thalia communicated with us and sent us dog pictures regularly, took care of deliveries to the house while we were gone, took our dog Fig on lots of great walks, and left the house in better condition than we left it! We will absolutely go to Thalia first any time Fig needs care!
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!
It's our third time with Erica and my cat loves her!! She is very accommodating and understanding of anxious pet parents, and provided reliable care for my cat and responded to my check-ins. My cat appears not stressed at all upon my return after a whole week, which is such a wonderful surprise!!
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!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Edmonston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Edmonston is $65 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $139 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 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 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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
