“I hesitate leaving a review, not because Nelson wasn't terrific because he was. The reason being that the review may convince others to book Nelson and then I'll have more competition for his time. Nelson told me that dogs love him. Well, I can confirm that. When we returned from a 3-day trip, our dogs met us with wagging tails and some excitement. However, previously, I had to be careful coming into our home because they might knock me down welcoming us home. This time they kept looking behind us waiting for Nelson to appear. That was a bit humbling. Nelson's college schedule worked for us. He was free on the weekends and was able to stay with our 3 dogs for long periods of the day. He sent a multitude of photos, mostly with our dogs cuddling up with him. If he had a question, he would text me, which I loved. We became modern pen pals. One of our dogs was bothering a frog in our yard one day and Nelson noticed foam coming out of her mouth. So, he searched the internet and found out what to do and he did it and the dog was fine. When it was time for him to leave, he cleaned up everything so that I didn't have to. It was great. I no longer have any qualms about leaving our dogs. Nelson took away all my stress.”
About: I’m a huge animal lover that has been surrounded by dogs my whole life. Me and my wife share 2 pups! Kobe and Kona! My sweet girl Kona is 13 years old is the kind of dog that needs a bit more love and patience than most, so i’m great with paying close attention to a dogs behavior and getting to know what exactly makes them tick. With Kona being a senior dog with allergies and hip problems, I understand the slower care a senior dog needs. Kobe on the other hand is a silly boy that wants belly scratches from everyone. He is 1 years old and is still an energetic puppy! Getting to know your fur baby in a personal sense on its own time/terms gives me the confidence I need to believe that I will be a great dog walker and caregiver for your fur baby! I’m currently not working a full time job so I have a lot of time to care for your fur baby as needed! Mostly available for walks and sitting in the afternoon and evenings. I live in a larger 2 bedroom apartment with a big dog park and lots of walking and grassy areas surrounding me! I have 2 dogs, my senior dog sleeps the days away as she has hip problems and cannot run like she used to, and my puppy loves to play and share his toys and treats with all of his fur friends! Your dog will be given the most love and attention its heart desires! I live with my wife but she will not be caring for your fur baby.
“Kyree was great with Titan and very responsive. She even put together the new bowls for him that were delivered while I was gone. Would recommend to anyone looking to find someone who will treat their pet like family.”
About: I’ve cared for friends and family’s pets. They depend on me to bathe, brush their hair, check for fleas, feed them, give them treats and take dogs on walks. I’m currently working other flexible jobs, so I have time to care for pets at this time. I have time to visit, have sleep overs at their home, have visits to feed them and walk them. I am able to care for your pets safely and you can trust me because I am very detailed oriented and pay attention to anything that may be dangerous for your pets.
About: Dogs have been a part of my entire life. I've been sitting for friends and family over the last 6 years and have really enjoyed it. I am currently unemployed and available. I don't have much on my schedule and can devote all my time and attention to a dog sitting job. I will care for them just like my own. Will follow the routine and rules for the pets. Happy to have them sleep with me in the bed, etc.
“Gabby was awesome! She was so patient with our dog, who has separation anxiety. She sent plenty of updates while we were gone, and we came home to a happy boy and a clean house! Will definitely be reaching out next time we need a sitter.”
“Kassidy was great with my three dogs! She followed instructions very well and kept posted me with their pics🐶 I would definitely ask her to dog sitting my dogs again🫶🏻 Thank you, Kassidy🩷”
“This was our first time using Roover and Carmelo was amazing. He even came over before our trip to meet us and Lana and get to know her. She instantly wanted to play with him and we knew it was going to be a great fit! He sent us photos multiple times a day and you could see she was having the best time and how happy she was with him there. We even joked that she might miss him more than us when we got home! We are rebooking him for our next trip as well and would recommend him to anyone needing their pets watched.”
“Jairo was great with ours dogs! He kept us updated, communicated well. We really appreciated the notes he left about each of them during his stay with them. It gives us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him!”
“Katherine was amazing! Our two pups loved her from the start. We appreciated that she was able to stay home with them during the business day as they are used to us working from home. We historically use family to pet sit when we are gone, so I really loved that she sent pictures and updates.”
About: Look no further! I have a geniune love for dogs. I understand the importance and relability for your baby. Your pet's safety is my priority. I have been a dog lover my entire life. I recently lost my beloved Mr. Jackson November 2023. We both enjoyed our morning /evening walks together. I can walk you fur baby Monday-Thursday mornings between 7:45 and 8:45 a.m. and some evenings after 6pm. I work remote and will never put your pet in a kennel. Your baby will be able to walk around as if he were in your home. I maintain a clean and secure environment.
“Paul was the best dog sitter I've EVER had. He took such amazing care of my pups, updated me frequently, sent pictures and videos, and left my house in perfect condition. I'm SO glad I found him. I was able to go away on a work trip, knowing my dog's were in good hands. Thank you Paul!”
About: I currently work as a pet sitter with dogs and cats of all sorts of personalities. This experience has honed my ability to accurately interpret animal body language and proactively adjust my approach to meet the unique emotional and physical needs of each pet. I provide different services for them such as strictly dog walking, pet taxi, enrichment, potty breaks, and overnight stays! I have a dog myself that has recently undergone leg surgery. I have experience administering medications, and everything it requires to help him and other dogs recover. I have also sought out dog training for my own dog, and have learned a lot about tips and tricks. I pet sit as of right now, with flexible clients, with lots of free time in between clients. Most of my clients travel for work, therefore my schedule is sporadic. I deliver tailored pet care services structured entirely around your specific instructions and your pet's established routine. By mirroring your exact approach to your pet's daily life, I ensure a seamless, stress-free transition that maintains their comfort, safety, and happiness while you are away. Whether it is active engagement, companionship, routine feeding, or medication administration. Ultimately, my continuous aspiration is to deliver the absolute best service to your pet and complete peace of mind to you.

About: Hi, I'm Tracy, a mother to a baby girl and a dog named Buster. Buster is a sweet and energetic dog who loves going for walks three times a day. I'd be happy to provide the same experience for your dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while keeping up with their usual routine. I follow each pet’s routine, provide fresh food and water, keep their space clean, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, patience, and affection. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away.
“Albert was great! Took very good care of my dog and made sure he was comfortable at home while I was away. Responds quickly and professionally. Will be using again in the future.”
About: Your dog will be treated as my own! Not only will I watch your dogs... Ill run and play with them! I have a chiweenie and a chorkie that I absolutely adore!! I have a lot of flexibility as to when and where to watch your dogs! I have been walking dogs for about 6 years. From small, medium to large dogs! I love watching "the dog whisperer"!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fifth Street
Trejure was absolutely amazing with our dogs! We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. She was dependable, caring, and took great care of them. It gave us so much peace of mind being able to enjoy our trip without worrying about our pups. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We will definitely be using Trejure again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!
Ari was absolutely wonderful with our pets! We have five dogs and a cat, including three dogs who were taking medication during her stay, and she did an amazing job administering everything as instructed. One of our dogs is especially picky and incredibly smart when it comes to medication. She knows immediately when there’s a pill hidden in her food, and giving her medication can be a nightmare. Ari went above and beyond by researching different ways to administer it and even asked for my approval before trying a new method. I really appreciated how attentive, proactive, and thoughtful she was. Our pets seemed to really love her, and she took great care of our home while house sitting as well. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our senior pets were in such caring and capable hands. Thank you so much, Ari, for taking such great care of our pets and our home! ❤️ We will definitely be booking with you again!
Lesly was so sweet and amazing. She took the time to make sure my dog was comfortable. Rysy was smiling and playing and that makes me feel so happy knowing she cared for him so well. It really means the world to me that she was so thoughtful and considerate with sending me updates and photos. Thank you. Highly recommend!!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Fifth Street is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $77 per night.

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 Fifth Street 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 Fifth Street 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 Fifth Street 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
