“Erica was wonderful. During the meet and greet Marla took a liking to her right away. Erica was in communication each day and sent us pictures and updates from walks and activities as well as letting us know when she and Marla were settling in for the night. She was thoughtful and left our home tidy. Since we were arriving quite late (due to having to adjust our departure schedule), Erica made sure that were were in fact going to be arriving that night and present for Marla by morning. That last checkin was truly appreciated and demonstrates how caring she is to make sure that the pet is taken care of an on stand-by in case there was a need to stop in once more to care for our pup. Definitely a reliable and caring pet sitter. I highly recommend her and will call on her again when the time comes to travel again. Thank you Erica!”
“Summar was a fantastic house and cat sitter! She cared for our anxious kitty with warmth and patience, regularly harvested and watered our garden during a heat wave, and did a myriad of other tasks with perfection. We also got daily updates with pictures from her! I will absolutely be asking her to house sit for us again! Summar is a true gem.”
“Amazing! We were anxious leaving our pup for the first time and couldn’t be happier. The updates really helped put us at ease and she even introduced him to new neighborhood friends!”
“Karachi was one of the easiest sitters we’ve ever had for our senior dog! He requires some special instructions and she followed them to a T. She left our home spotless and we returned to a very relaxed and well-taken care of pup. 10/10 would recommend Karachi for any pet care needs!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have 18 years of hands-on experience caring for them with patience, love, and responsibility. I’m naturally empathetic and compassionate toward animals, and I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for dogs. I have experience with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and understanding each dog’s unique personality, habits, and needs. Having a senior pup of my own, I’m especially attentive to the patience, comfort, and extra care that older dogs may need. I’ll treat your pup with the same kindness, attention, and respect I’ve always given my own dogs. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive, and loving environment while keeping you updated so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I work from home and am available most days, making it easy for me to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship whenever needed. I do have an online class from 1 PM to 3 PM, but I am still home and able to work around that schedule. Outside of that time, my availability is very open, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs. I have a comfortable, pet-friendly apartment where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I’m available throughout the day to provide attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and any specific care instructions. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed and make sure your pup has a calm and loving environment during their stay.
“Hannah took such good care of our dog Penny. She gave lots of updates while we were away and took great care of our home as well. Highly recommend Hannah for any of your pet care needs! We will definitely ask her to stay with Penny next time we need a sitter!”
“Amy is a gem! We did not plan on having a small kitten along with our two adult cats when we planned a trip, and realized a house sitter was needed to continue monitoring and acclimating our cat fam. Amy responded to all communication promptly, sent pics and updates throughout, and left our house immaculate. We came home to cats who were relaxed and happy. Highly recommend Amy's services, she is a trustworthy professional.”
“Jayne watched our two dogs for three nights while we were out of town. One of our dogs is anxious and takes some time to warm up to new people but Jayne didn’t bat an eye during the meet and greet. It’s clear she has experience handling a wide variety of temperaments and Winnie warmed up to her quickly. We came home to two very happy dogs and a clean house. Grateful to have found a trustworthy person who seems to enjoy connecting with a variety of doggy personalities.”
“We are so fortunate to have found Vitali! If you want to go on vacation and not have to worry about your pets plotting your demise, hire Vitali B! Great communication and our kitties were so relaxed upon our return that they barely noticed us when we walked in to the house. Meow.....”
“Mark did a great job with taking care of my high-energy dog, Atlas! He took him on long walks and hikes to help burn his energy. He clearly loves what he does, and I would trust him to take care of Atlas again!”
“Emily accommodated a very last minute request & I couldn’t be more grateful! Bronx is an adoptee and experiences a good deal of separation anxiety. I was nervous of him meeting someone new without a meet and greet, needless to say he absolutely adored her and she was very patient and loving with him!”
“John did great with my Great Dane! My pup is an emotional guy and John did a great job sticking to his routines and adapting where necessary. He was proactive about thinking through my dog’s needs, like adjusting the walk schedule when there was an extreme heat warning for the day.”
“Laura was great with Ruthie. She gave us great and regular updates and even grabbed a couple packages for us that needed to be refrigerated. Will definitely book again!”
About: My mother used to train dogs when I was younger so I’ve been around dogs ever since I was born. My older brother has been taking care of dogs and boarding for years and I help him out with his process Right now I’m taking a break from school so I am available everyday! When I go back to School my schedule will remain mostly unchanged. I respect unfamiliar pets personal space until they get used to me, when walking dogs I am very observant of my surroundings making sure there is no danger. I typically let out my dogs 5 times a day for around 20-30 minutes when I was younger I loved to go on walks as well sometimes for over an hour.
“Leslie is such an awesome sitter. I have travel for several work trips and not only is her availability fantastic, she is a thorough communicator and my senior dog always seemed at ease and happy upon pick up. I highly recommended her.”
“Monica was great at communicating throughout our trip. When we got home our cat and dog were both happy, the plants were heathy, and the house clean. We’ll definitely reach back out to Monica for future trips.”
“Olivia was very accommodating and both of our dogs instantly warmed up to her. When we got home the following day, both dogs were normal and didn't seem stressed about having someone new in the house. Olivia followed all of their care instructions which makes us confident in asking her to sit again in the future.”
“Highly recommend! Rachel did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our dog and cat. The animals loved her! Our lab, Bella, actually seemed to miss her for a few days afterwards… Rachel was responsible, reliable, and did a great job communicating and sharing daily photos. She followed our instructions and the house was well taken care of as well. We’ll definitely hope to use her again!”
“If I could leave 10 stars I would! Brianna is a lovely young woman who was an amazing sitter for my baby girl. Twice daily check-ins, at least, and always with many adorable photos. She stayed in my home for 2-weeks and she left it spotless. She has a customer for life!”

Halle is an angel on earth. I was out of town for a week and she stayed with my adult cat and two kittens… she sent frequent updates, took exceptionally amazing care of the three boys, and left my place in perfect shape… I just can’t say enough good things about Halle, and I’m so glad she was available! Looking forward to hopefully having a chance to use her services again.
Salma watched our two cats while we were away for an extended period. She left our home cleaner than we had left it. She sent us thoughtful and detailed updates with pictures. And she followed our instructions carefully. We were so relieved to have found a trustworthy and reliable sitter. Our cats are going to miss her!
Summar was a fantastic house and cat sitter! She cared for our anxious kitty with warmth and patience, regularly harvested and watered our garden during a heat wave, and did a myriad of other tasks with perfection. We also got daily updates with pictures from her! I will absolutely be asking her to house sit for us again! Summar is a true gem.
Jenny did a wonderful job caring for our dog and cat while we were out of town for 10 days. She provided excellent communication and pictures and we never doubted that our pets were being cared for and loved. Additionally, Jenny was flexible and understanding when we had someone come to work on the house somewhat unexpectedly. We would definitely recommend her and would book again!
Vana was incredibly friendly, communicative, and caring for her stay in our home with our (huge) pup, Wrigley. She checked in as requested and made sure to ask questions to provide him the best care. Not only that, but the house was exactly as we left it on return. We would book with Vana again in the future (and Wrigley seems like he would be a fan, too).
We are so fortunate to have found Vitali! If you want to go on vacation and not have to worry about your pets plotting your demise, hire Vitali B! Great communication and our kitties were so relaxed upon our return that they barely noticed us when we walked in to the house. Meow.....
Julie did a truly fantastic job watching our pup and house-sitting for over two weeks while we were away. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our dog was in such kind, capable hands. She also took excellent care of our home, leaving it in immaculate condition. When there were some last minute changes to our plans, Julie was incredibly gracious and flexible. She is organized, communicative, and a joy to work with. We highly recommend her!
Highly recommend! Justin came by before the scheduled booking to meet the dogs and cat and to learn their habits so that he could provide the best quality care. Justin would send me photos and updates everyday which was huge because it was our first time away from our pets like that. I will absolutely be using Justin again in the future and would recommend him to everyone.
Toni is an extremely kind, compassionate and conscientious person. She doted on Honey and spent lots of time with her. She gave 100% making Honey have a great staycation. We were in communication every day, and I loved all the photos and videos. My home was also very neat and clean when I returned. I would definitely have Toni back again

FAQs for House Sitting - Friendship Village
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Friendship Village on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 10,747 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Friendship Village. 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 Friendship Village 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 Friendship Village 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 Friendship Village 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.
