“Mackenzie was absolutely amazing! I was so worried to leave my senior pets for 10 days but she put me ease with her kindness and experience. She had great communication and compassion towards my pets when they had an accident. I felt like she truly loved them as her own. We also loved getting photo updates throughout our trip- she even crocheted cute little hats for the dogs and cat. Would love to have her back to sit again!”
“Michelle was an amazing pet sitter. She was my first live-in overnight sitter and she helped me feel so at ease about the whole process. She communicated well prior to the pet sitting dates, and she sent me daily updates on how things were going along with pictures of my very happy dogs while in her care. I have three dogs with different needs and abilities and they all had a great time with her. I would absolutely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Kristy is amazing and we are so lBlessed to have her watch Kaya and Big. Genuine, caring and authentic care for our doggies this weekend. We were able to enjoy the event knowing that the doggies are in great care and hands with Kristy.”
“Holly was a great communicator and sent us lots of pictures of Tony, which we greatly appreciated. She was very thorough with her descriptions of how Tony’s day was going and even put some dishes away! Thank you Holly!!!”
“Laney took excellent care of our baby! She sent lots of updates and pictures! I hate leaving Sunny but Laney put me at ease. This was my first time booking with her and I will definitely do it again. I also came home to the house as clean as I left it!”
“We found our perfect housesitter/doggo sitter! I’ll admit, I was a little nervous at first about having someone we didn’t know come into our home to care for our three mischievous pups. We had always relied on friends and family, so this was a brand-new experience for us. From the very beginning, Anja completely put our minds at ease. She was incredible with our doggos, sent us daily photos that made us smile, took them for walks, snuggled and loved on them and took wonderful care of our home. Truly, I wish I could give her 10 stars—she’s that amazing. We couldn’t be happier and hope to use her Rover skills again and again. Thank you Anja!”
“Michelle is absolutely the best house sitter we’ve ever used. She is professional, an excellent communicator, and it feels like a good friend taking care of our pets. She sent detailed reports twice a day and lots of pictures of happy pets! Michelle is kind and caring and I trust her with my pets 💯. One of our dogs is a senior and had some minor medical needs while we were away (hot spot, giving medication) and she handled it exceptionally. We will definitely book Michelle again for our future travels. Thank you, Michelle! You’re truly the BEST!”
“Serenity was truly exceptional with our senior girl, and we are so grateful for the level of care she provided. From the moment we left, she made sure we felt at ease. We never leave our dogs, and this was so hard to do but she sent regular updates with photos and videos so we could see how comfortable and happy our girl was. These updates meant a lot to us considering our girl is older and needs a little extra attention. Beyond caring for our dog, Serenity grabbed our mail and kept our home incredibly clean. Walking back into a spotless house after traveling was a gift and it speaks volumes about her respect for our space and her professionalism. It was very clear Serenity loves pet sitting! She was patient, gentle, attentive, and treated our little girl like family. We felt completely comfortable leaving our girl in her hands and we'd book again without hesitation. Anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and truly outstanding sitter would be lucky to have her. Thank you, Serenity! We truly appreciate you!”
“Elaine was wondering! Plenty of updates and pictures throughout the sit, great communication and Esmee had a ton of fun with her. Definitely recommend letting Elaine care for your doggos. Thanks!”
“Emma was a great sitter for our 3 cat babies. She was always quick to respond, left the place very clean, and gave them plenty of attention. Some of our cats can be slow to warm up to humans, but that wasn't the case with Emma (they seemed pretty comfortable around her and didn't hide right away). She also took care of our house plants. Would recommend Emma to anyone.”
“Annie was an incredible sitter for our dog. She is an excellent communicator - sending us pictures/updates each day as we had requested. Annie provided Woodward with all the specific care that he needed and didn’t hesitate to ask us questions when things came up which we really appreciated. She was a perfect houseguest as well. Woodward was clearly very happy and well cared for when we returned. Thank you so much Annie. I will 100% book her services again!!”
“I’m thrilled to have found Dylan after our previous sitter moved. He gave lots of updates on my cat and when I came back the cat was calm and relaxed. I will definitely book with him again and do recommend him to others.”
“Joe is fantastic! He is so calm and sweet and his energy instantly makes dogs feel comfortable. We loved having him watch our dog, and we appreciated the updates and photos!”
“Zachary did an exceptional job on watching all my fur babies. He followed directions for care perfectly. I highly recommend him for a sitter for both dogs and cats. I look forward to booking him in the future.”
“John watched our rambunctious 80 pound German Shepherd for the first time and he had great communication with us the entire time which eased my anxiety of leaving her with a new person. He got to the house exactly when he said he would and spent the entire day hanging out with her. Everything went really smoothly and we will definitely use him again because he is reliable and a good communicator.”
“Jon was amazing with the dogs! We got regular updates and could tell they were having a blast – walks, playtime, and even a special hike up into the mountains that honestly looked like a spot I’d love to check out myself. ;) The house was in great shape when we got back, and he even washed his bedding and towels before heading out. He grabbed the mail, took out the trash, and did a solid job cleaning up after the pups (we all know that’s no easy task!). We’re super happy with how everything went and would definitely love to have him back next time, if he's available!”
“Kyle did an amazing watching our 2 dogs over a long weekend - 1 of which is a 10 month old lab puppy with tons of energy. He was communicative and I knew our boys were in great hands.”

Carina is a wonderful pet sitter. Our dog Mason loves all the attention he gets when she comes to stay. Communication is great with pictures and updates every day. She has helped us twice and we will definitely be asking for her help again in the near future. We highly recommend Carina!
Kate watched our two kitties in our home for 3 days. We came home to happy kitties which is always great! Kate sent daily update and gave a long update on her final day before leaving our home. She also checked in a few times leading up to our trip to make sure we were both confirmed and clear on instructions which was appreciated. She also made sure to take out the trash and tidy up after her stay. The only small hiccup was prior to booking. The pricing shown on the listing was not the actual cost. She prices herself a bit different than all other Rover sitters we’ve work with. That said, the total cost was reasonable and we worked it out before I agreed to book.
Merddyn came over to meet and she was very nice and took notes. She spent time getting to know my cat and was easy to connect with. I would use her again, my kitty is a little on the shy side at first so it was nice to see her interact with her before i left. Will use her again.
Addisyn did an amazing job caring for our dogs and looking after our home while we were gone. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us total peace of mind. She was super reliable with their routine, making sure they got their allergy meds with dinner each night. Honestly, I don’t think the dogs even missed us! We returned to very happy, well-cared-for pups and will absolutely be booking Addisyn again. Highly recommend!
Jeanne was absolutely wonderful with our cat. We are very worried cat parents and tend to have a long list of little things we care about, but Jeanne checked every single box and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was very communicative throughout the stay and sent lots of great photos and updates, which we really appreciated. One of our biggest concerns when we travel is whether our cat will get enough attention and playtime, but Jeanne went above and beyond. She spent a ton of time at our house playing with her, and even brought her own wand toy to keep her engaged and active. Jeanne was on time, took great care of our home, and left everything clean and tidy. She was also extra careful coming in and out of the house to make sure our cat wouldn't sneak outside. We also really appreciated that she brought in packages that arrived while we were away and rolled our trash bins back in from the curb without us even having to ask. We would happily book with Jeanne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, communicative, and who genuinely loves spending time with cats.
Lindsey has done a wonderful job caring for our anxious pup in our home! She communicates very well (with fun pictures). It was very hot while we were away and she proactively thought about watering plants and doing dog walks in the cool part of the day. We plan to have her sit again!!! Thank You!
Ellyssa and Hunter took wonderful care of our Dachshund, Bentley, while house-sitting. They were communicative, professional, respectful of our home, and incredibly kind and patient with Bentley's quirks. They quickly understood his personality, and he warmed up to them right away - playing, lounging in the sun, and enjoying plenty of blanket snuggles. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was so comfortable and well cared for while we were away. We've already booked them for our next trip and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet sitters!

FAQs for House Sitting - Esperance
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Esperance on Rover is $61.05 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 7,653 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Esperance. 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 Esperance 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 Esperance 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 Esperance 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.
