“Han was great! He was willing to come over before the stay to meet our pups and kept us informed the entire time. He took our pups on a walk everyday and they were both in great spirits when we came home. Thanks again Han!”
“My husband and I always feel anxious to leave our dog in others care, however Mitch eased our worries from the start and allowed us to have a worry free time away! Georgia warmed up to him immediately and that does not happen often. He sent photo updates each day and seamlessly dropped her off at her boarding place for the last two days. Also he left the place so spotless it didn’t even look like he was here! Very nice to come back to a clean home. We hope to use Mitch again in the future!”
“Conrad was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was very happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and pictures were sent as requested. We will definitely be using Conrad’s services again in the near future.”
“Morgan was amazing - daily updates and pictures - arrived to a clean home - and most importantly, my dog was happy and well exercised when I got home! I will definitely use Morgan again! She even sent me pictures of my flowers that bloomed while I was away!”
“Brittany was so wonderful to our pups! She did an amazing job following our instructions and communicating with both me and my husband. I will have her back in a heartbeat if we need another sitter! She works from home so she was able to be with our pups consistently which is super important for me. Thank you Brittany!!”
“Dawn covered my time away at the last minute and over a holiday weekend. She then did me a favor by changing and washing my sheets for the bed she slept in. I would definitely use her again.”
“Mary Sue deserves more than 5 stars. She went above and beyond for our 3 hounds! We will definitely be rebooking for our future needs! She kept us updated multiple times throughout each day and gave us picture updates to ensure our dogs were in great hands! Our place was clean when she left and our dogs were beyond happy which is everything we wanted after coming back home from a long trip! Would definitely recommend Mary Sue and he will use her again in the future!”
“Billie has been our go to for our fur babies. They adore her and are spoiled and comfortable when we are gone. Pretty soon they won't care when we come home! Thanks again, as always for taking such great care.”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with our 2 babies!! Our dogs don’t normally love new people, but they loved Michael! He is so gentle and loving toward any dog. Additionally, he gave us daily updates with pictures and kept us in the loop with everything while he house sat for us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AGAIN!!”
“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!”
“Audrey took care of both our dogs and stayed at our house while we were away for a week, she came over before our vacation and met the pups and got the lay of the land. While we were gone there was great communication everyday and photos of our dogs, which was great. We got home and our house was clean and dogs were happy, we cannot recommend her services enough! Our minds were at ease while out of the country knowing our beloved pups and house were in good hands!”

“India was fantastic with Prince! She stayed with him and gave us all the updates that were necessary. She took very good care of him while we were away. She was also very tidy and cleaned up after herself. You could barely tell that someone stayed in my home! Highly recommend India!”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was a kid. We have had cats since I was 10. Lots of cats. I've also been a dog owner for the past 12 years and take care of my mother and sisters elderly Pomeranians as well as my partners large breed dogs. I really love animals and just want to be around them as much as possible. I have experience with administering meds, elderly, disabled animals. Basically the entire life span of domesticated pets. I'm a freelance audiobook director so I can stay at your place and work from there if you'd prefer. I have lots of pockets of time throughout the day to perform tasks. I don't have many obligations so I can devote my time to being present for your furry friend. I take animal safety and home safety very seriously. Animals are sentient creatures who can get scared. They need to feel safe and grounded in their environment as well as with their guardians.
“Tyler watched our home, dog, and cat for two weeks. He communicated and sent pictures regularly. He was very accommodating to our delayed flight home ensuring our pets were cared for until we arrived. Our home was spotless upon our return. Highly recommend Tyler and will be booking with him for future trips!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Foxton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 7,253 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
