“Noah is fantastic! He dog sat for us for over two weeks and we came home to a very happy dog and spotless apartment. He was communicative the entire time (sent a picture and text update each day) and was event able to accommodate a last minute additional day when we weren’t able to get home the day we originally planned. Highly recommend Noah and will be booking again!”
“Lesley was amazing and took care of our anxious pup wonderfully. We had just lost our cat and the pup was a nervous wreck, and Lesley was able to care for her and keep her happy while we were away!”
“Halle was wonderful when I needed a last minute sitter for my dog who is working on his separation anxiety training. Halle was attentive and kind and accommodating!! My dog loves her!”
“Karachi did a great job taking care of our dog, Charlie. She was very communicative, accommodated our schedule, and was diligent in giving Charlie his medicine. Charlie really liked her!”
“We love Summar and she takes AMAZING care of our dog and house! She sends lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay which we all appreciate so much. Thank you Summar!!”
“Once again, we entrusted our energetic pooch, Truman, to Kevin's care, and once again, we couldn't be happier! Kevin's professionalism, patience, and genuine dedication to Truman shone through, just like the first time. Despite Truman's slight behavioral quirks, Kevin expertly managed him, ensuring he received the exercise and attention he needed. Returning home to find Truman relaxed and content speaks volumes about Kevin's dedication and skill as a pet sitter. Regular updates and photos kept us reassured throughout our trip. We wholeheartedly recommend Kevin to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thanks, Kevin, for another fantastic experience!”
“Molly was fantastic! She gave regular updates and handled our dogs with professionalism and care, including reaching out whenever she had a question. Will be booking again!”
“Sydney was absolutely fantastic! I received regular updates with photos showing my pets completely content and relaxed. She was also able to handle the medication for my senior citizen dog.”
About: Hi everyone 👋 my name is Jenni and my experience with animals started when I was young. I grew up with dogs all my life and had a Lhasa Apso and Pitbull/Akita mix as my first dogs but now have 2 cats. My boyfriend has his own pet sitting/pet boarding business where I regularly help out. I have 19 years of experience taking care of all kinds of dogs and cats, including, young and senior pets. I have experience in administering oral, ear, and eye medication. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Looking forward to working with you and building long lasting friendships and partnerships with you and your pet. 🌞 Pet care fits into my schedule very well as I work locally which gives me the option to work remotely or in person. Therefore, I have a flexible schedule to adjust to the times you need help with. The care I provide for the animals that I will be watching while in their house is following the same schedule routine and safety plans the owners have for their own pet. During the meet & greet I love to learn about the owners pets so I can make sure to give the same quality of care that the owners give☺️
“Melissa did a fantastic job housesitting our two dogs! Our dogs took an immediate liking to her. She sent us daily updates and pictures. She also took great care of our home. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can put up inside the house up if need be. We usually don’t like dogs going in the basement, mainly because that’s the kids area and there are lots of small items and toys they can get into.
“I am so lucky to have found Lauren. She is so good with my dog who has a lot of separation anxiety but he quickly warmed up to her wonderful personality and is so comfortable with her. I can’t praise her enough. She always keeps me updated and will continue to be our #1 go to :)”
“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.....”
“Sophie loves Shamaurie. He takes great care of my dog and house. Shamaurie always reaches out if he has any questions or concerns. I love how Shamaurie keeps me updated with lots of pictures and updates.”
“Gabs did a great job with my pup, Lula Mae. Lu was well cared for and I got great communications & updates. Gabs also left our home spotless, which was much appreciated when I got home from my trip! We look forward to booking with Gabs again in 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!”
“Lizabethe was great watching Maggie and Rocco in our home while we were away for an extended weekend! She provided regular updates with pictures. We'd love to book with Lizabethe again!”
“Really appreciate Jared's attention to detail. Our pets have a somewhat complicated feeding schedule! Communication level was great and gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, including large and small dogs, cats, hedgehogs, ferrets, and hamsters. Over the years, I’ve also rescued and cared for injured wildlife, including rabbits, turtles, and birds. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love caring for them. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have experience caring for pets with special medical needs. My own cat is immunocompromised, so I’m comfortable administering medications, following specialized diets, and providing attentive, compassionate care for animals who need a little extra support. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my routine. During the summer, my schedule is especially flexible, allowing me to accommodate a wide variety of care needs. Beginning in the fall, I’ll be working Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with some occasional work-from-home days throughout the school year and availability on holidays. Since I’m off earlier than many people, I’m able to provide afternoon and evening care, walks, drop-ins, or quality time with your pet when you need it most. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my partner, who works in person only 2–3 days a week. That means if your pet is staying with us, they’ll rarely be home alone and will have plenty of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. One of the things that’s most important to me is communication. As a pet parent myself, I know how comforting it is to receive updates while you’re away. My camera roll is already full of photos of friends’ and clients’ pets I’ve had the joy of caring for, and I can’t wait to add your furry family member to the collection! You can expect plenty of photos, videos, and daily updates, so you’ll always know your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or visiting them in theirs. I know that pets feel most comfortable when their normal schedule is maintained, so I prioritize keeping feeding times, medication routines, exercise, and enrichment as consistent as possible. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with easy access to outdoor spaces, making it a comfortable environment for pets who enjoy walks, fresh air, and playtime. I’m also comfortable crating dogs when needed and following any instructions you provide to help your pet feel safe and secure. My own cat is immunocompromised, so I have extensive experience providing specialized care, including administering medications, managing special diets, monitoring symptoms, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to providing the same patience, love, and attention I would want someone to give my own pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Friendship Village
Ashley was absolutely wonderful! Truly so sweet and made me feel incredibly comfortable. I was in a bit of a bind with my other sitter being out of town, so finding someone new was making me a bit nervous, but I immediately felt so comfortable when Ashley came for the meet and greet. My pup is deaf and can be a bit difficult at times, but Ashley had no problem jumping right in and caring for him. I was gone for 6 days and Ashley put me right at ease, which makes traveling much easier knowing my Jackson is being loved and well taken care of! She was truly the best! I have already passed her name onto a neighbor.
Lily was a great pet sitter for both our dog and the alley cat we provide food and water for. It was fun to get photos of both. She planned an outing for our dog Bailey to pick out toys at Ace Hardware. Had a tiny comms gap on our first day when trying to make sure she got into the house okay but we worked that out before our international flight and it was smooth sailing after that!
Wayne was responsive, communicative, and followed all of the care instructions we provided. He proved to be responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring. Our dog, a former rescue with anxiety who typically takes time to warm up to new people, quickly became comfortable with Wayne and clearly enjoyed spending time with him. I recommend his services and would gladly use him again for dog sitting.
Chris took excellent care of our German Shorthair Pointer in our home for the several days we were away. Lyra warmed to him right away. She enjoyed many long walks, ball throwing sessions, overall excellent care, and companionship and cuddles. Chris kept us very well informed with photos of all their adventures. He is an excellent communicator and is very trustworthy. I can't imagine a better dog sitter!
Noah is fantastic! He dog sat for us for over two weeks and we came home to a very happy dog and spotless apartment. He was communicative the entire time (sent a picture and text update each day) and was event able to accommodate a last minute additional day when we weren’t able to get home the day we originally planned. Highly recommend Noah and will be booking again!
Livvy was super conscientious. She asked good questions at the onset about our pets schedule, needs and preferences. We heard from her throughout her stay with our 13 y.o. dog with photos and updates. We didn’t worry a minute and could fully enjoy our vacation. She even cleaned so we came home to a house better than we left it!
Faustine was amazing. She and her adorable dog Ginger came to housesit for a week, and took excellent care of our Golden Retriever and of the house. She took the dogs for long walks, provided daily updates and photos, and left the house immaculate. She's affectionate with dogs, responsible, trustworthy, and a really nice person. She's our new favorite and we'll definitely be using her again!
Summar is warm, patient, and clearly a natural with animals. She understood our sometimes quirky dog, sent regular updates and photos, and handled everything with calm, reliable confidence including when our alarm randomly went off and the housekeepers showed up unexpectedly (she also speaks Spanish!). We never once worried while she was with Oz and we will be asking her back again and again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter.

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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
