“Ziaya was amazing! She took excellent care of my two dogs and made us feel completely at ease leaving her in our home. Highly recommend her services! She took them on multiple walks and gave us updates along the way. She’s the best!”
“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!”
“Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!”
“Jordan took good care of Chance he kept my bay for 4 days while I went out of town to take care of some important business…. He left my home just the way it was when I left . Nice guy thank you Jordan”
“Sara house- and dog-sat for our two dogs during a 2-week trip abroad. It was the longest we've been away from our dogs and we were nervous about leaving them for so long, but Sara was fantastic and I would highly recommend her. She communicated very well throughout the trip and when we returned home the dogs were and happy and healthy and the house was exactly as we'd left it. We'll absolutely use Sara again and recommend her to anyone looking for house sitting or pet care.”
“Darrius did an amazing job watching our house and our dogs for a week while we were out of the country. He was very reliable and trustworthy. He sent us checkins and pictures daily. Our dogs were happy and clean when we came home. He even dealt with our pool and brought our packages inside. We will definitely be using him again!”
“I highly recommend Alexi as a pet sitter! My little furry baby, absolutely adores her and feels so comfortable in her presence. He usually only sits on someone's lap for a few seconds, but with Alexi, he stays on her lap for much longer. It's clear that dogs can sense her positive energy and feel at ease with her. Alexi is also very attentive to my concerns about my dog and she followed my instructions closely. I appreciate her passion for fostering dogs, and it's no surprise that my baby gets so excited whenever he sees her. Not only does Alexi have a vibrant personality around people, but she also has a special connection with dogs. I trust her completely with my furry baby and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
About: Hey! I was introduced to animals of all kinds at an extremely young age. I’ve taken care of everything from dogs to cats to exotic animals such as reptiles! There is no limit for me, I am open to caring for any and all animals in any way possible. I take a lot of pride in caring for animals and humans alike, it is very fulfilling to me. Tell me what you need and you got it, I will give you peace of mind when it comes to your precious ones! I’m currently free just about 24/7 for animal care as I am working on making my own company and it is a slow process. It is possible to even do same day scheduling with me frequently! I have 1000sqft apartment with two corgis of my own and two chinchillas! Ideally I am looking to go to a client’s home, but it’s possible to take in a pet with me as long as the pet is cooperative enough to respect my own dog’s space when needed.
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.
About: I'am a very loving person who has a great amount of pet care experience. I make sure the pet gets all the amount of exercise and potty breaks needed. I always keep track on how the pet is and what I can do to make sure they get 100% attention! There is never any doubts nor concerns when it comes to taking care of an animal. I'am great with being fast paced if the animal is hyper and have great patience as well. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so I never get tired of walking dogs. I enjoy walking as much as I need to and even playing catch or just being outside with them. It's a great experience when you are an animal lover ! I’m currently working full time but considering my flexibility throughout the day and on weekends, I manage to sneak in my walks and check on the dogs without issues! I set a routine for my dogs as well as family dogs when my family are out of town. I will always start the morning by taking them out to potty, making sure they have water, give them a treat, and finally start walking them for at least 30 minutes.(more if they allow me to) Around 1 or 2, I will feed them and have them go outside and play. Then after work, I will take them for another walk and make sure they are all good before they eat again.
“My little dog Sophie had such a good time with Alex and her big dogs, she didn’t want to leave! Nova and Shadow were such fun playmates and so nice to share their couch with her. We had such peace of mind knowing that Sophie was in good hands with Alex.”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m happy to provide feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and regular check-ins while treating every pet like my own. 2 walks per day since I do have a full time job. 30mins in the morning and 30mins in the evening. Days I work from home they get 3 walks 15mins in the afternoon and 30mins in the morning and evening I have a dog of my own therefore I only board 1 dog + mines at a time. Your fur baby will have someone to play with throughout the day plenty of treats and toys and no crates(unless necessary). They can roam around freely.
“Where do I begin? Sherine was nothing short of amazing! She was super friendly and attentive to all our needs. She updated us frequently and always let us know if she had any questions. She took great care of our two Yorkies, showing them lots of love & attention! Before she left, she did a good job cleaning up that we didn’t even ask for! You want to leave your pups in great care with no worries, then book Sherine.”
“I am SO GLAD I found Ericka. She did such an amazing job watching our little homestead and animals for two weeks. She took care of our dogs, chickens, turtle and cat!! Our home was very well taken care of. And my dogs were so comfortable and happy with her. She sent regular updates and messaged any issues right away. THANK YOU ERICKA!! We are so happy we found you, and hope to book you again!”
About: I have taken care of my dog for 11 years and I treated her like my own daughter until she passed away lately. I have also taken care of my cat for 7 years. I picked him and his siblings up at the side of the street. I gave his siblings to my relatives and I kept one without the tail. He became my baby cat ever since.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fifth Street is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $78 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fifth Street. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
