“Meghan has been my dog walker and recently house sat for me while I was away. She is wonderful with my dog and left my place clean & tidy. I know I can trust her and would absolutely recommend her.”
“This is the second time Salem has pet-sat for me. She's very good at communicating and sending updates. She keeps the house nice and tidy and is very trustworthy. My dog seems very happy when Salem's taking care of her.”
“Kim was an amazing sitter for our dog, Nugget, and cat, Ollie, this weekend. We would absolutely book with her again! Our pets were very clearly comfortable with her staying with them. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we were away!”
“Cayla was great with my boys! I have two pups and they’re very different but she was able to connect with both of them. She sent me texts and pictures to let me know they were doing okay and I really appreciated that because I worry a lot. She was really wonderful and I have already booked her again for a weekend in March!”
“Our dogs were really happy with Alyssa! She was very quick to respond, respectful, and attentive to the quirky needs of our old doggies. Will recommend to my friends.”
“Calvyn was great with our 2 cats plus we trusted him to stay overnight while we were away for 2 nights. Our cats have certain behaviors, like our male likes a lot of attention and he likes to drink out of the faucet. Calvyn paid attention to both. Calvyn communicated regularly to tell us his schedule and accommodated our request to bring in delivered packages. Our house was left exactly how we left it and with a perfectly clean litter box. He notified us when he was leaving and sent us pictures so we could see what they were up to while we were traveling home. We highly recommend Calvyn and will hire him again.”
“A++++! Perfect house and dog sitter for a long weekend. Great communicator! We always knew how things were going while we were out of the country. Went above and beyond to get comfortable with our dog and make our dog comfortable.”
“Paris was very responsive to my questions, comments, and requests. I appreciated the care she gave my dogs. They are pretty independent but having someone there to keep them company and watch the house while I am gone gives me peace of mind while I am traveling.”
About: I’m a caring, dependable, and patient pet lover who treats every dog like they’re part of the family. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, and I’m especially comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pups who need a little extra patience, attention, and love. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a very flexible work schedule, which allows me to provide reliable care for dogs and cats when they need it. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m happy to come to your home to care for your pets in their familiar and comfortable environment. I’ll follow their normal routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kelly was wonderful! She was so communicative with us, sending updates and photos, and left everything tidy when upon her departure. We felt very comfortable leaving Moose with Kelly.”
About: Hi there! I am a college student and lifelong animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets. I currently work as a Canine Coach at Dogtopia Raleigh-Northwest and have several years of professional experience as a dog walker and pet sitter with two trusted pet care companies. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need a long walk to relaxed pets who just want some company and attention. Whether you need a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets, I treat them like they’re my own. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I’m also more than happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I truly love what I do and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend! I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, evening, and weekend care. I work part-time at a dog daycare and attend a couple of afternoon classes during the week, but I take extra care to plan my schedule so I can still provide reliable visits, walks, and attentive care for my clients. As my Rover client base grows, I plan to open up even more availability to dedicate additional time to Rover bookings. I always follow your instructions and stick to your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I enter your home as directed, lock up behind me, and respect any off-limit areas. I do a quick walkthrough to check for any messes or accidents, and I pay close attention to your pet's behavior to ensure they feel secure and cared for.
“Kelsey is great! She's reliable, communicates well, and gives us incredible peace of mind when leaving our dog at home. He seems happy and well-loved when we return. We feel very fortunate to have found her.”
“Kristen was amazing with our dogs! We were very nervous about leaving them but we immediately had the sense that they were well cared for. She was very communicative and gave updates/photos. Came home to two happy dogs. Already rebooked! Thanks Kristen ❤️”
“Magan was absolutely wonderful with our pups Atlas and Apollo. I received updates consistently throughout our trip. She actively played with them every day and I’m sure they received tons of cuddles. I was able to fully enjoy our trip, knowing that the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”
“Demarcus is attentive and kind. He updated us on the pups’ days and went above and beyond to keep them happy. We had one dog who needed some extra attention and he gave her the attention and gave us updates multiple times a day. He is our new favorite sitter!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic. She is new to Rover, but is certainly not new to taking care of dogs. She did a great job taking care of our dog, oso. She was very attentive to his needs and made sure he had a great time while we were away. She took extraordinary care of our house and was a very clear and transparent communicator the entire time. We sent her detailed instructions, and she clearly read all of them and followed through. 100% will use again. Highly recommend!”

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 $66.08 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,048 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.

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.
