“Autumn was absolutely phenomenal! She stayed at our house over the Thanksgiving holiday and took incredible care of our two dogs. She sent daily photos and videos, kept them active with walks, and gave them so much love and attention. On top of that, our home was spotless when we returned. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such caring hands. We’ll 100% be using Autumn anytime we go out of town — and the dogs give her all the tail wags! 🐾”
“Lexus was great with our dog, a Boston with a lot of personality. She was very present, sent lots of photos, and even left behind a little custom dog art. Very respectful of house and property as well.”
“Thank you Peter for taking care of Malala and our home over the weekend. Sure did come home to a happy dog! We appreciate your timely update, clear communication and genuine respect for our space. We'll be sure to use your services again.”
“Bailey takes such good care of our pups, she is responsive, ensures all needs are met and we have never had any problems after multiple sits. We will definitely continue to have her sit in the future.”
“Sara took amazing care of Prim. My dog had a vacation while I was away and it was very clear that she enjoyed herself. My dog is 14years old so she can't be easy at times but Sara had patience with her and took great care of her. Thank you.”
“Jenna did an amazing job caring for our two pups while we were out of the country for two weeks. She sent lots of pics & videos and the doggies loved her. We highly recommend Jenna for your dog sitting needs.”
“This was the first time we used rover for our dog and we were very impressed how well Carla took care of Spooky for 3 days she stayed with him and gave him all his proper pills, feed him, walked him, and slept over with him. I would highly recommend Carla! Thanks again!”
“Sonal was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly thorough and detailed, and warm & attentive to our babies. She kept us updated with photos and reports, and kept us at ease during our vacation. 10/10 will try to book again. :)”
“Nevaeh was soo amazing! This was our first time using Rover. She was so kind and understanding and took amazing care of our 2 dogs (that are quite the handful!!) for the day. I would definitely rebook again and highly recommend her!!!”
“Finding a sitter for your pets can be nerve wracking. Trusting a stranger with your home, let alone your pets is a difficult decision to make. Rob and Wynn put us at ease during our first meet and greet and they clearly have great energy as our pets (including an anxious dog) warmed right up to them. They house sat for us for a few days, with daily updates, strict adherence to the instructions we'd requested, and our pets (2 dogs and cat) loved them. They were respectful of our home and very kind with our pets. We will absolutely use them in the future without a doubt and would encourage anyone on the fence to select them as well. Wynn was punctual, attentive, and professional as was Rob. Thank you for helping make a difficult decision so easy!”
“Hannah is amazing she was so good with my pups. She sent pictures daily which made me feel so much better about being away from home and I came home to a clean house. I will be using her anytime she is available. Thanks Hannah!”
About: Hello! My name is Victoria, and I’ve had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. I volunteered with a local dog rescue where I fostered many dogs, helping them feel safe, loved, and prepared for their forever homes. Growing up, I also volunteered in both dog and cat shelters, giving me experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since I was little and have also built my own client base through Facebook and other dog walking apps. I truly love animals and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and respect I would give my own, so you can feel confident they’ll be in caring hands. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine! * Monday & Tuesday: I work from home, so I have flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care throughout the day. * Saturday through Tuesday: I’m available for walks and visits at almost any time. * Wednesday through Friday: I work in the office, so morning walks are available around 6:30–7:30 AM, and evening walks or drop-in visits are available starting around 5:30 PM. If your pet has a specific schedule or unique needs, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to see if we can make it work! Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines to keep your pet happy and comfortable in their own home. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Please note that I provide care in clients’ homes only and do not offer boarding in my home.
“Glacie was wonderful! She communicated very well, sent pictures of Duke often, and when we got home we can tell he was very well taken care of. She also left the house nice and neat!”
“Deborah did a fantastic job watching buddy. She kept us informed daily and even sent us photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. we will use her for sure going forward, thank you again Deborah”
“Thank you Isabella for your wonderful care from a repeat customer. I really appreciate you doing exactly what I ask and going above and beyond on things I didn't even think of. My crew is looking forward to seeing you again soon.”
“Keonna provided outstanding care for our fur kids on short notice. She spent a significant amount of time with them each day, spoiling them with long walks and lots of attention! She communicated with us each day, sharing lots of pictures, which gave us comfort knowing our pups were happy and well taken care of! You can tell they enjoyed their time with Keonna!”
“Alexis is fantastic. We have booked with her before to watch our pup and we always feel at ease. She respects and follows rules and instructions for our puppy down to the detail. Our puppy had a great day with her and was in good hands! Will be booking again!”

Jackie is AMAZING. we booked her last minute for our 10 day trip to Italy and she took amazing care of my sweet Sunny and Max. I had beautiful pictures sent to me each day and lots of updates. I felt so much better about leaving my fur babies with her! Will most definitely book her again - she’s a diamond!!
Kellye was absolutely incredible from start to finish! She went above and beyond before, during, and even after her stay with our dogs. She kept us updated with messages and photos, gave them so much love and attention, and truly treated them like they were her own. When we got home, the biggest testament to how amazing she was came from our dogs. They literally ran right past us and waited at the door, looking for Kellye! 😂 It was obvious they had the best time. Knowing our pups were so happy and well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we’ll absolutely be booking with Kellye again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and who genuinely goes the extra mile, we can’t recommend her enough!
Izzi did a phenomenal job caring for our SIX cats and TWO dogs a puppy golden retriever and senior Shiba Inu ! And cats of all ages including senior kitties. We truly felt at ease and relaxed on vacation knowing our babies were in amazing hands. She spent a lot of time with them, followed instructions exactly, asked questions, was extremely communicative, and she took many photos and videos that helped us feel relaxed on vacation. We are very attached to our babies and protective and it has been a long time since we have been on vacation but Izzi made us feel comfortable to do more trips since we trust her with our babies fully. She is a true animal lover and we highly recommend her!
Glacie is the absolute best. She has watched our girls three times (including 2 of which have been with a brand new puppy!). She is so attentive, responsive, and takes great care of them. It is so amazing to be able to be away from the house knowing my girls are in good hands. She’s the best!
Valery is an absolute gem of a sitter! From the initial meet and greet I felt instantly comfortable trusting her on a long trip with my nervous pup who takes medications (when our normal sitter was unavailable) and she did an incredible job giving us peace of mind while we were out of the country. She sent frequent updates and worked hard to gain our pups trust which is no easy feat. Thank you for going above and beyond Valery!! Highly recommend!!
Bailey was great! Highly recommend. Super comfortable with dogs and followed all instructions left. Sent tons of photos everyday and always communicated. Very professional and friendly. She stayed in our home while we were away for 3 nights. Could not have asked for a better experience.
Daniela was great in every possible way! She took care of Chloe, our 12-pound chihuahua mix, at our home, so Chloe was comfortable and our home was occupied during our extended trip to Germany. We can’t say enough about how kind and professional Daniela was during her stay with Chloe.
Chris was an awesome dog sitter for our two pups while we were out of town. He kept us updated throughout the day and showed exceptional care for them both and asked questions when needed. He went the extra mile and took them out to play, go on car rides, and walk in the park. Great experience; we will definitely be contacting Chris for future care.
Elizabeth was very pleasant and professional with the meet and greet, this was the first time I did house sitting and she answered all of my questions gave me reassurance of the whole procedure. She met with Scarlett, and I showed all the quirky stuff I have setup with my dog. Elizabeth has great communication via text messaging, she let me know when she was going to arrive, she sent me pictures throughout the time she stayed with my dog for constant updates, putting my mind at ease since I never left my dog this long. She also updated me when she was leaving ,affirming that Scarlett was all set awaiting for me. Thank you Elizabeth for a great job.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Goldenrod on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,112 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Goldenrod. 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 Goldenrod 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 Goldenrod 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 Goldenrod 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Goldenrod. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
