“Madison is great. She's super responsible, communicates the perfect amount, took great care of our home, and, most importantly, was an AMAZING petsitter for our pup. We're grateful and look forward to having Madison care for Sheila again!”
“Angela did a great job taking care of our boys while we were away! She sent updates and pictures. We didn’t have to worry knowing she was with them. We will definitely request her anytime we’re going out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Jeff is awesome! My dog was clearly well looked after and he did a great job taking care of all her special needs. The house was well taken care of as well -- I will hopefully get to work with him again soon!”
“Phillip was a Godsend when my husband and I both had to unexpectedly leave town for several days. We feel lucky that Phillip was available and willing to accept the assignment....despite knowing that we (the dog parents) are very particular and our dog has some "special needs." We appreciated Phillip's reports about Sato and the photos from their outings. When I returned it was clear that Sato had really bonded with Phillip. That was heartwarming! The house was neat and clean too. Always a real bonus when a housesitter is new to the place. Even the most picky pet owner will be happy with Phillip's services!”
About: I have always been a reliable pet sitter for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it be an energetic puppy or a slower paced senior dog, I’m happy to spend time caring for our furry friends and keeping those tails wagging! Currently available during the weekdays. Happy to help make your family’s life easier with one less thing to worry about! I love being outdoors and going for walks in my free time, so including a pet is very easy to add into my schedule. I am very cautious in most aspects of life, but especially when it comes to caring for animals. I was always raised with the mentality of “safer is better than sorry” and I stick to it! I treat pets with the kindness, care, and love that they all deserve. I also believe highly in integrity. Coming to a client’s home is treated with respect and privacy. I’m happy to help with your dog walking/pet sitting needs to make your life easier!
“Willow did a fantastic job staying in my home with my Ziggy. She had clear and quick communication. She left the house very tidy and Ziggy enjoyed his time with her. Thank you Willow!”
“Zoe was great! She filled in a last minute booking after our pet sitter cancelled. Above and beyond in pet care as well as leaving our space better than when we left! The animals loved her and we definitely would have her back!”
“Charlie was great! He took both dogs for long walks and sent photos. The house was in perfect condition when we got back. We would love to book Charlie again on our next trip away. Thank you Charlie!”
“Lori was incredibly thoughtful, both leading up to the stay and during. She is kind and organized, provided lots of updates and photos, and took great care of both my boy and my home. I will absolutely book with her again!”
“We loved having Cassidy watch our two dogs! Our pups have specific dietary/feeding needs and our pitbull has some anxiety and Cassidy handled their needs with great care. It was smooth communication and we received lots of great updates about how they were doing. We highly recommend Cassidy for your dog sitting needs, and we will definitely be using her again. :)”
“It’s stressful turning over your house and fur babies to a complete stranger. I recently moved to the area and it was the first time I’ve booked with Sadira. I got back and all is well with house and animals.”
“I would recommend Meagan to anyone looking for someone who is a great communicator and genuinely cares about your pets! She was reliable, kind, and sent very cute and reassuring photos and videos. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Mere sis a great dog house sitting and watching our anxious dog. Great communication with several pictures a day while we were gone. The house was clean and the dog was happy when we got home. I will book with Mere again”
“Kaila did a great job with Lindy and Loki. Loki is a rambuncious bull terrier and she handled him really well. When we came home the house was as we left it! We would use her again with no hesitation.”
“Madalyn stayed with our dog Maggie for two full weeks. Our house was in great shape when we got back, and Maggie was happy and healthy! Will definitely work with Madalyn again”
About: Hi! I'm Mary Beth! I work for NOAA currently as a scientist. I'm looking for a productive way to harness my love of pets. My very first job was dog walking while on my paper route. I have walked, watched, and trained dogs for as long as I can remember. The neighborhood I grew up in knew me as the go to girl for pet sitting while on vacation. I am ready and willing to be of service to you and your furry family. As a fish biologist I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I am very excited to get to know your pet whether it be boarding or just a quick walk. Can't wait to hear from you and care for your pet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Geneva
Kelcy is *actually* a dog whisperer. My dog, being a vizsla, can be a bit chaotic and thus isn't everyone's cup of tea. She is however very sweet, especially with the humans who are part of her pack. She literally instantly loved Kelcy, which has become increasingly rare for her as she's gotten older and more particular. I felt completely comfortable leaving Nootka with Kelcy, fully trusting that she would be not just safe but also happy. Kelcy took *such* good care of her , I'm not sure Nootka even minded my absence 🥲.
I have used Angela several times now to watch Oliver and I never have to worry while I’m away. She always sends me pictures and updates. When I get home, he is super calm so I know that he has been well taken care of. Oliver absolutely loves Oliver and her pup ❤️❤️
Lori was absolutely amazing. Will 100% be going back to her. She took such great care of my dog and two cats. Lori took a lot of time at our meet and greet asking questions and greeting my critters at their pace. Her gentle and patient demeanor with my dog gave me so much confidence leaving her in her care. I recieved daily updates and photos of my happy and relaxed critters. She also took lovely care of my home and I cannot thank her enough!
I would give Kami 6 stars if I could! She is a wonderful pet sitter, and I always feel completely at ease leaving my two dogs in her care. She stayed in our home for 4 nights while we were away and followed all of the instructions we left for her, and we came home to a clean and tidy house. Our dogs can be a handful at times--one is 12 and the other is 3, so they have very different needs, and she is so great with both of them. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I would highly recommend Kami to anyone!
Emilia was an incredible sitter for our two high energy dogs. She took care of our big malinois and our crazy puppy, taking them on multiple long walks and to the park, as well as giving them lots of love. She accommodated our very last minute request, working around her schedule for us. She followed our instructions and was super communicative, sending frequent pictures and updates on our pups. Your pets will be in very good hands with Emilia!

The average cost of House Sitting in Geneva is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $75 per night.

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 Geneva 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 Geneva 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 Geneva 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
