“Vanessa did a fantastic job taking care of our corgi. She followed all of our instructions closely and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was safe, healthy and very happy. Our pup immediately felt comfortable with Vanessa and she also took good care of our house. We fully recommend her as a dog and house sitter.”
“Awesome. Vicky was very caring and did a great job with my anxious pup! Also she was responsive and kept me updated throughout the weekend. Will definitely hire again!”
“Shakuntala watched my dog for two nights while I was away. She was very detail oriented and organized, taking care to ensure that she had everything she needed to keep my dog happy. She checked in with photos and was overall great with communication. Would recommend!”
“Malek did a great job letting Gimli adjust to a new human at his own pace. He asked for guidance when needed, to help Gimli build trust in him. Gimli greeted him happily when he returned to pick up his things, so I know Gimli feels comfortable. As the owner of a sensitive, intelligent and active dog this was just what I was looking for. Thank you, Malek!”
“Jenny is an incredible dog sitter—we’ve used her multiple times to stay in our home and care for our two small dogs. We’re able to truly relax and enjoy being away, knowing our dogs and home are in such capable and caring hands. She treats everything as if it were her own and is consistently thoughtful and attentive. On top of that, she’s a great communicator and an absolute pleasure to work with.”
“We had such a great experience with Jade! She stayed at our home with Fig while we were away and took such wonderful care of him. She was communicative, reliable, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We came home to a happy pup and our house just as we left it. We would absolutely have her watch Fig again and highly recommend her!”
“Molly has been walking our dogs for a couple of weeks, and we couldn’t be happier! Our dog, Finn, is pretty nervous and weary of strangers, but Molly has been really patient with him! Would 100% recommend”
“If I could give Eileen more than five stars, I absolutely would! We hired Eileen to stay in our home for six days while caring for our two dogs, who couldn’t be more different. Our one-year-old Golden Retriever, Lilo, is full of energy, always ready to play, and constantly looking for something to do. Our 16-year-old poodle mix is enjoying his retirement and prefers a much slower, more relaxed pace. Eileen immediately understood both of their personalities and tailored her care to each of them perfectly. She kept Lilo engaged, entertained, and even helped her learn new tricks during the week, while also making sure our senior dog was comfortable, happy, and given all the patience and gentle care he deserves. It was obvious from the updates that both dogs absolutely adored her. One of the things we appreciated most was her communication. She sent us frequent updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She followed every instruction we left, paid attention to every detail, and treated our dogs as if they were her own. When we returned home, our house was spotless—honestly, it looked just as good as when we left. It’s rare to find someone who not only takes exceptional care of your pets but also treats your home with the same level of respect and care. The greatest compliment we can give is that we never once worried while we were away. We were able to fully enjoy our trip because we knew our dogs were in the best possible hands. We cannot recommend Eileen highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, responsible, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely loves animals, look no further. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life! Over my 25 years, my family has had two Rottweilers, a Pitbull, and a cat, all of whom lived long, loved lives before sadly passing from old age. Today, my family has a Cocker Spaniel, several Yorkies, and two cats, all of whom I absolutely adore! Having cared for everything from large, energetic breeds to smaller dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve also experienced caring for pets as they grow older, so I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and adapting to their needs. I recently moved into my own place, and one of the things I miss most is coming home to my family’s dogs and cats. That’s a big part of why I’d love to become a pet sitter! I genuinely enjoy the companionship animals bring, and I’d be thrilled to give your furry family members the same love, attention, and affection I’ve always given my own. I know pets aren’t just animals; they’re family. My goal is to make sure yours feel just as safe, comfortable, and loved with me as they do with you! My schedule is pretty flexible! I typically work from home or close by, which means I can be a very present and attentive sitter rather than leaving your pets alone for long periods. Whether your pet needs regular walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, or just someone to keep them company throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as much as possible. I’m also open to overnight stays and boarding! Since I live on my own, I have the flexibility to make your pet feel welcome and give them plenty of one-on-one attention. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m always happy to communicate and coordinate with owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! Having grown up caring for several different breeds, including large dogs and smaller companions, I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll do my best to maintain their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. That includes following feeding instructions, keeping up with walks and bathroom breaks, providing plenty of affection, and respecting any specific rules or preferences you have. I recently moved into my own place, where I have a fenced yard for your furry friends to safely enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and exercise! My home offers a peaceful, comfortable environment where your pets can relax and receive plenty of individual attention. I’ll always supervise outdoor activities and make sure your pet feels safe and welcome. I also believe communication is incredibly important! I’m more than happy to send regular pictures, videos, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets the way I’ve always treated my own: with love, patience, kindness, and lots of cuddles (if they’re into that, of course!).
“Tabatha was fantastic! I had to go out of town to deal with sick family, and needed to not worry about my pets. Tabatha made everything so easy and took great care of my dog and cat. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Jeffrey was amazing with our 100lb American Akita for 15 days, constantly providing updates and pictures to ease my anxiety leaving my pet and home while out of the country! His experience with animals shines through in the way my Akita immediately fell in love with him. We would highly recommend him for your fur babies, and we look forward to booking with him again!”
About: For the past ten years, I have adopted and taken care of different senior rescue dogs. And puppies alike. I have been the primary dog watcher for my extended family and friends for many years. I love all dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities and I'm sure I'll love yours as well!! 😁 I'm currently working a full time job. However I work very close to home. I can walk your dog in the morning late afternoon and night before bed and always try for 3 walks a day. If you would rather I house sit your dog I can stay at your place and watch your furry friend there. I can also just come to you and walk your dog on the weekends. Let's get your dog the care they need!! 😁 I have an apartment which I own and am comfortable with your dog going anywhere they would like. While I prefer to let dogs roam my space and be at ease. I can crate them if you would prefer. If I house sat at your place I would follow your instructions and normal house rules to the letter.
“India always takes great care of our pup! She proactively communicates and sends pictures to let us know how things are going. Our dog is always happy and content with her. We’ve used India a few times to house sit and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Erica is our go-to resource for taking care of our dog and home while we are away. She communicates clearly throughout the stay. She goes the extra mile to make sure our pet is happy and healthy. We return to a clean house and very happy dog. Recommend her without reservation.”
“Camilla took stayed at my house and took care of my two slightly wacko dogs while I was away for a long weekend and did a great job! It was so helpful to know they were in good hands while I was away.”
“Scott is a great Rover sitter! He was wonderful at house sitting for our dog and cat for a weekend. He is very communicative and gave timely detailed updates, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely be hiring Scott again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Garrett Park is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garrett Park
Omar and Claudia responded to a relatively last-minute need for a week of dogsitting, and did a fantastic job with our three rescues. Omar was responsive while he was watching the dogs, sent tons of photos, and dealt with a minor issue with our senior dog very responsibly. The dogs were happy and the house was spotless when we returned. So grateful to have found them!
Karen stayed with our anxious dog, Gus, while we were away for 5 nights. She took great care of Gus and sent frequent detailed updates and photos which we loved! Gus had some GI upset while we were gone and Karen was so communicative about his symptoms and offered solutions along the way. We are so happy we found a great sitter for Gus that we can trust and we would definitely recommend her!
Vicky was an absolute dream of a house and dog sitter! From start to finish, her communication was top-notch—she kept us completely at ease with regular, thoughtful updates and photos of our dogs. It was clear right away that they were happy, comfortable, and receiving wonderful care. Beyond being fantastic with the dogs, Vicky was the perfect house guest. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages, and she left our home spotless and well cared for. She is incredibly respectful, reliable, and attentive. We would rebook Vicky in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter!
Christina was a wonderful sitter for our dogs! One of our dogs can be a little skeptical of new people, but she managed to earn his trust on the very first day! She was incredibly communicative, attentive, and caring, and truly treated our dogs as if they were her own. She even offered to stay very late until we were on our way home from the airport, just to make sure they were well taken care of. She genuinely goes above and beyond, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We couldn’t recommend Christina more highly to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies!!
Scott was amazing. He took great care of our 2 dogs and 5 cats!! When we got home they were happy and content. We knew he gave them love and attention throughout the week. Scott was a great communicator, sending lots of photos and videos. I would highly recommend him!
Juliette did a wonderful job caring for Phoebe and Addy. She is great at communicating, sent lots of pictures, and adapted to our care schedule with enthusiasm. Her extensive pet care experience set our minds at ease, we knew she could handle anything that may arise. Trustworthy, kind, passionate about animals, Juliette is our dream dog sitter!
Rachel was a stellar house sitter! She was extremely attentive to our animal family members needs including 2 dogs and chickens. She kept us up to date on everything going on and communicated daily including with photos and funny and spot on commentary about our dog’s individual personalities. I highly recommend Rachel!!!
Tamara has stayed with our cat a number of times and is so understanding and patient. After we lost our dog the cat went into a depression for several months and Tamara displayed nothing but love for her. She’s faithful at adhering to a very specific feeding plan since the cat recently had thyroid radiation treatment. We’re very happy to use Tamara for pet care.
Alexander did a great job while catsitting and housesitting! He was appropriately communicative -- not too much, not too little -- and my cat looked very relaxed and at ease in all of the photos he sent. I appreciated that he asked appropriate questions during our meet and greet, helping me to fill in details of my cat's care and where to find things in the house that I might have otherwise forgotten to mention. I returned home to a tidy place and a happy cat!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Garrett Park is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $113 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 Garrett Park 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 Garrett Park 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 Garrett Park 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garrett Park. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
