“Isabella was great staying with our three pups! It’s hard for us to board outside of the house all together, and Isabella graciously came to stay with them over the weekend we were gone. She provided daily updates and the pups were all healthy and happy when we got home. We will definitely be reaching back out to her next time we’re out of town!”
“Mitch is wonderful. We have one very quirky rescue dog and Mitch did great with him. He sent pictures daily which were so appreciated. We really were not worried about the dogs while away as we knew they were in his great care. He stopped by and met us and the dogs before we left. House was in perfect condition when we got home too. Communication was great and Mitch is a really nice guy. We will definitely use his services again.”
“I adore these people. My only hesitation in posting a great review is that we want to keep Ayla & Han all to ourselves!! Expert care infused with love, kindness, compassion, and genuine affection for our dog and cats. Our dog is almost 13 years old and requires twice-daily medications. I never worry about Mamie’s care needs. We have one very extroverted cat (Goji) and one very shy cat (BellaPearl). I’m so surprised that by this 3rd sit this year, Bella is seeking affection from Ayla! That’s more high praise than I can offer. Truly. I can’t wait to get home to see them all. Thank you, Ayla & Han for EVERYTHING, and, more importantly, being exactly who you are. Absolute gems!”
“Bryan is such a wonderful sitter. I had a family emergency and asked if he could house sit day-of, and he went above and beyond to care for my two dogs and condo on such short notice. As always, great communication and follows care instructions very well. I’m so thankful!”
“Tessa was great! She was responsive and took great care of our sweet guy. Our house was left clean, she asked to water our plants, and our cat seemed very well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely use Tessa again!”
“Samuel was great! He stayed over with Shelby for a night and came home to a very happy Dog. We were coming back from the mountains and uncertain of time coming home and Samuel offered to stay as long as we wanted, which ended up not being needed. Great communication and pics to go along with the say. Will definitely be using Samuel again!”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs and absolutely love them. Our pets are a part of our family. I think they should be loved and cared for while their owners are away and not put into a cage for the weekend. This causes stress and anxiety! Why should we be having all of the fun our pets deserve a normal weekend while we are away! I enjoy being outside and taking our dogs for walks and playing fetch! I also enjoy just snuggling up with our pup and watching a movie! I will take care of your dog like it is my own so you can have fun and not worry while you're on vacation! I am dependable and honest. Call me for your next vacation!
“Rachel connected easily with my dog and was very responsive and attentive during the 4 days of watching him. She left my apartment in great condition, and sent me photos regularly. I would be happy to book with Rachel in the future.”
“Ciara was an awesome pet sitter while we were gonna for a long weekend. Extremely responsive and sent us pics and updates of our little girls! I would highly recommend Ciara’s services and will absolutely rebook her in the future.”
“Cheyenne was wonderful to work with. She stayed at our House over Fourth of July weekend to watch both of our dogs. She updated us daily with pictures and left our house clean. I will def. keep her in mind for future vacations and needs!”
About: I've been watching my neighborhood and family pets since before I was ten. My family has relied on me for their care and my friends have been able to travel without worry. I am happy to feed, bathe, medicate, walk and discuss their needs. I am usually off on Thursdays and always off on Sundays. I work full time and am I need of a dog sitter of my own. While in the client's home I would check food and water, most likely do a check of the house (example: dog has a history of eating cat poop or getting into the trash). I would respect their home by looking after the home and the loved ones within it.
About: Hi! I’m Morgan! I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including horses, cats, and dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me! I currently have a sweet and silly 1.5 year old Frenchie who keeps me on my toes! I recently lost my 11year old German Shepherd, and I’ve found myself really missing that daily companionship. I’d love to share that extra time, care, and affection with your furry family members. I have experience with a wide range of dogs from pups who need strict feeding schedules, senior pups who require patience & care, to large (95lb+) reactive dogs who require solo walks and extra attention. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. You can trust that I’ll care for your pets just like you would, with lots of love, respect, and attention! (Huxley will not be joining during house sitting appointments unless your request him too. :)) I work from home so I have flexibility for local daily drop ins & walks, after work walks, or weekend care. We can discuss your needs and see how that works best for your requirements! I’ll follow any requirements you have for caring for your pets in your home! I am happy to discuss further to make sure I can fulfill your pets needs.
“Natasha, has a great personality and Pluto our dog really bonded with her. She kept us informed and included photos too. In fact, we have already rebooked with her for another stay.”
“Billie is incredible! We felt very confident with her caring for our two dogs and comfortable with her in our home for an extended trip. Consistent pupdates and I can tell they were very well cared for.”
“Natalia is a very caring person and has a great way with both dogs and cats. She stayed with our pets in our home and was very responsible. She stayed in touch and let us know how things were going. I would highly recommend Natalia!”
“Danielle was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative and kept us up to date on everything that was going on while we were away. She sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated, and it was clear she gave our pup lots of love and attention while she was here. We could tell our dog was very comfortable and happy having her at our house. Danielle was also a fantastic house guest - she left everything very clean. We are so grateful for her care and would happily book with her again. Thank you Danielle!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Foxton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Foxton 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 7,319 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Foxton. 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 Foxton 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 Foxton 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 Foxton 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Foxton. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
