“Fantastic!!! Amazing!!! Almost scared to review - her schedule may become too packed to sit for Bodhi again :) In all seriousness, Salem was beyond attentive - sent more photos than I could have imagined- updated us regarding his meals, meds, and behaviors. His photos demonstrated how happy he was - and well cared for. Our Bodhi is a huge dog with separation anxiety and needs the "right sitter." Salem was more than right! She was perfect. Communicative, Caring, Compassionate, Complete care. Will 100% hire her again!”

“Kristen was absolutely amazing! She stayed with my dog for two weeks while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which really helped me feel at ease. My dog looked happy, relaxed, and clearly loved spending time with her. I’m so grateful for her reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. I would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible pet sitter!”

“Laura was so great with our precious pup! She was timely and communicative, she sent daily pupdates with pictures, and left the house perfectly tidy! She checked in before she left on her final day which I appreciated while we were traveling :) will definitely be booking her again :)”
“We couldn’t be happier with Zainab! From the moment we booked, we felt confident that all our animals were in great hands. She provided constant updates, which reassured us while we were away. When we returned, the house was tidy, and our pets seemed happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Rosa saved our trip with 2 dogs. We were traveling with our 2 pups and she was able to come to our air bnb to watch them while we went into town. They seemed to love her. She walked them, played fetch, chilled out on the couch with our two goofballs. She is timely and communicative. Would use her services again if ever in the area.”
“Jennifer was amazing! We have a menagerie of animals and we have had a run of pet sitters that have not taken care of our pets the way that we do. For the first time, I went on vacation and didn't worry about my babies. Everyone, including the chickens and parrots, were happy when we got home. Our retriever even attempted to follow her out when she left, which was a compliment to how she took care of them. We will definitely hire her again to take care of our babies. THANK YOU JENNIFER!!!! We are glad we found you!”
“Debora was superb when she was house sitting my dog while I was on vacation. I got daily updates with pictures and the house was left spotless (maybe even better!) when I got back. She was highly communicative and easy to work with. Would highly recommend Debora!”
About: I have been absolutely obsessed with animals since I was a tiny baby! I volunteer at the Animal Protection Society of Durham, and dog/ cat sit for friends and family! I am currently going to Wake Tech for Psychology. I’m taking majority online classes, so my schedule is pretty free and I am very flexible I have two dogs of my own which I take care of. They don’t necessarily get along with cats which is why I don’t own one.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Genlee
Joy is the BEST! I think our dog was almost sad when we came home because it meant his best friend had to leave. Joy takes such good care of our puppy, makes him feel so loved, and sends the best pictures. She’s also an amazing house guest, leaving everything just as we left it! We can’t wait to hire joy again every time we go away!
Kelsey was fantastic! Incredibly communicative sending pictures and videos while my partner and I were traveling. Asked questions about toys, treats, and foods to make sure our pup was taken great care of as well as treating her with affection and care. We already feel more confident booking another vacation knowing we can book a great dog sitter with Kelsey.
Owen did an amazing job watching our house and our dog, Oliver, for 5 days. He was incredibly kind, highly complimentary, and took fantastic care of everything. We returned to a happy pup and a perfectly kept home. We highly recommend Owen to anyone looking for a reliable, sweet, and trustworthy sitter!"
Lacey is phenomenal! I have always been an anxious dog mom, particularly as my little boy has gotten older, and my mom has very specific instructions for her very spoiled dog. Lacey cared for them both for a week and, after I met her, I knew they would be in good hands. She was dedicated to following their schedule, very communicative with lots of pictures and updates, and even made some modifications to the home environment that I hadn’t thought of that helped my boy get around better! Lacey reached out at one point because Ollie wasn’t acting like himself and I appreciated the check in; through that conversation, she even thought of a tweak to his meds that got him back to his usual self. As if this wasn’t enough, we came home to a vacuumed house, clean linens and a remade bed, and fresh baked cookies. I can’t recommend Lacey enough and have already booked her for our next trip!
Our dog loves Kyle. Our family went on a 17-day international trip and had Kyle house sit our 5 month puppy Wooloo. Wooloo loved Kyle a lot. The house was kept clean and everything where they should be. We received pictures every day which made our mind at ease during the whole trip. We are so thankful!
Aline was outstanding with my elderly baby. He's practically blind and she did everything to make him feel safe and comfortable. She stayed in my home with him. He connected with her from the very beginning. She perfectly gave him his medicines (pills and liquids), she made sure he wore a diaper at night and when she was away. And she gave him all the snuggles he wanted. She looked after my Max perfectly and I will definitely book her again!
10 Stars Super Duper Star Sitter indeed! We booked Miranda at the last minute when our scheduled pup sitter had a medical emergency before a week-long trip out of town. Our 3 dogs loved her; she provided multiple updates a day with pictures, and our house was immaculate when we returned. Would love to have her watch our pups and our house again in the future
Danielle was absolutely wonderful! I booked with her last minute and she was super flexible with scheduling a meet and greet with my pups before hand. I have one dog that gets scared and anxious around new people but she was not thrown off one bit and took her time to let my dog warm up to her. She was super communicative while I was gone (even sent daily pictures)! I will definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Genlee on Rover is $64.38 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 3,047 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Genlee. 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 Genlee 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 Genlee 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 Genlee 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 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.
