“Nelson was great with my pups! They had a great time. He updated me frequently with pictures. He even set up a kennel for me and cleaned up before he left. I will use Nelson again!”
“Jordyn was amazing! My dogs were very comfortable with her. She communicated and sent pictures of my dogs daily! She left my home very clean and even cleaned up after the dogs in the backyard! Highly recommend!!!”
“Jenny is the best house sitter we ever had. She took extraordinary care of our two dogs and one cat, sending plenty of pictures and videos so we could see how happy they all were. She also left the house in immaculate condition. We will definitely use her again. She's amazing!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Elmer! From the moment we connected, his communication was excellent—he kept me updated regularly with messages, photos, and videos of my cat and dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Not only did he take wonderful care of my pets, but he also went above and beyond by looking after my home. When I returned, the house was even better than when I left it—clean, organized, and clearly treated with care. Elmer is truly one of a kind: trustworthy, responsible, and 100% reliable. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. He’s the best!”
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.
“My dogs love love Sara! I was able to actually relax on my vacation knowing they were in great hands. She was so accommodating with the picture sending and my dog mom anxieties. I will definitely be booking her anytime I go on a trip!”
“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!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years, including my own and those of friends and family. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and following each dog’s individual routine. I can do it any day, but mainly Monday through Friday for the most part, Iam still open for weekends to work for rover thank you. take the time to follow each owner’s specific instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, exercise, and any special routines. I make pets have clean water
“Bria took care of my 3 dogs at my house for the weekend. They all loved her and had a great time while we were away. Most importantly, they were safe and we knew they were in good hands.”
“Great experience with Katie. Dogs loved her, very professional and kept our minds at ease while we were on vacation. She stayed at our house for two nights and could not have gone smoother.”
“My fur babies don’t go to daycare and shy when they see new people but Sebastian was good. It didn’t take him long get my fur babies to like him. He took very good care of them and they loved him. Will definitely book him again.”
“Paul did a great job with our girls. They were always “smiling” when he sent updates and was very good a communicating. He was happy to do some extra skimming of the leaves from the pond and trash duty as well. Would definitely have him back!”
“She was amazing!! She communicated thoroughly throughout the entire weekend and even cleaned our house while we were gone. Our pets loved her. We’ve already booked her again for next weekend!”
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"! Gives me lots of ideas on how to interact with all types of dogs. I am an introvert and have depended on dogs to keep me company! I love dogs because they love their caretakers unconditionally! I am hoping to be able to continue to pet sit because its a job I actually and look forward to!
“Our pets are part of our family. Honestly, in our home, they’re more like our children, so entrusting someone new to care for them is always nerve-wracking. Between supplements mixed into meals, automatic Surefeed feeders, and a Litter-Robot setup, there’s a bit of a learning curve—but Demang and Shirley handled everything flawlessly, as if they’d known our cats forever. From the moment they met, it was clear that Demang and Shirley have a special gift with animals—a calm, intuitive presence that puts even the most anxious pet at ease. Our shy, skittish cat (who normally takes days to trust anyone) warmed up to them almost instantly. And our other cat, who loves attention, couldn’t get enough of their affection and playtime. When we returned home, the funniest thing happened. Our cats barely lifted their heads to greet us once they realized it wasn’t Demang and Shirley walking through the door! That says everything about how loved, secure, and happy they felt while we were away. It’s rare to find people who care for your pets with the same genuine love, attentiveness, and joy that you do, but that’s exactly who Demang and Shirley are. They’re true animal whisperers, and I feel incredibly grateful to have found them. I plan to use them for all our future cat care needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. Growing up we always had dogs around. I’m currently renting a home and miss having a dog. I work on a hybrid schedule and would love to fill time with more dog walks. Also I have lots of free time on weekends. I’ve babysat for friends and family in their homes. No need to make dogs / cats leave their safe space. I grew up with animals and have been around them my whole life.

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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. 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 , 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.
