“Kailey was amazing! She took wonderful care of Diesel and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with photos, communicated quickly anytime I had a question, and was incredibly responsible throughout the entire stay. I also came home to a very clean and tidy house, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable knowing Diesel and my home were in good hands. I would absolutely book Kailey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Autumn was Fabulous!! She is friendly, a great communicater, and sent me pictures throughout her time in my house. I have 3 goldendoodles and they gave her a 5 out of 5 review. Just watching my girls interact with her gave me such peace. The pictures captured their personalities and their smiles. I highly recommend Autumn for your pets needs.”
“Our second time having Peter take care of my boys was just as good as the first. He truly cares and took such amazing care of the dogs and house. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Sonal is always amazing with our pets. She really goes above and beyond your normal pet care. She's super responsive and gives plenty of updates so we're always up to date on how our pets are in her care. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a super caring, loving pet sitter.”
“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”
“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”
“Stephanie provides frequent updates while dog sitting. She sends pictures and sweet messages. Our dogs love spending time with her because she takes such great care to ensure they get long walks and plenty of snuggles!”
“Lexus was great! She was very thorough in our initial meet & greet. During her stay she provided daily updates and took excellent care of my pets and home. She left behind a summary of their time while I was away with a card and photos. I will definitely book with her again.”
“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.”
“Glacie was a wonderful pet sitter! Her updates and photos let us enjoy our vacation stress-free. Our pets were well cared for, and the house was clean when we returned. The meet and greet beforehand really helped ease our minds. Even when our pets got a little sick on the last day, she was honest and did her best to clean up. Would definitely book again!”
“Sydney was great with our two pups while we were out of town. Our Malinois got sick just before we left and I let her know we gave him rice and he should be ok. She responded that even if he was still sick, she would take care of it. She let them out frequently and took great care of them! Will be utilizing Sydney again. Thank you! 😊”
“Jodi was wonderful with our three difficult dogs for 5 days. She was very fast to respond to my messages and left the house in perfect condition. I appreciated that she sent frequent updates and photos, and that she was available during a holiday weekend on somewhat short notice. I'm a nervous dog momma about leaving our pups, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Jodi was with them and I didn't worry at all during our trip. Two of our dogs warmed up to her very quick, and she tried really hard with the last one but he's just a big scaredy cat. Maybe next time she'll win him over. Thanks for your help, Jodi!”
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.
“Alicia took very good care of our 2 boxers and sent pictures of them to me. She was great at communicating with me and responded quickly to my texts. This was our 1st experience with Rover and we were very pleased. Our house was immaculate when we returned home and she had even washed & dried any linens used & remade the bed.”
“Valery is AWESOME!!! She has done drop in visits for our 5 1/2 month old puppy as well as has taken care of her for a weekend in her own home. We would definitely hire Valery again. She's reliable and takes amazing care of our baby!”
“Kiri is so amazing! She is super nice and flexible. Our dogs love her. She sends us pictures and is very communicative. We already have plans for Kiri to help us out on future trips!”
“Chris was absolutely phenomenal! He took care of all three of our pups for the entire week while we were away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, he was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were traveling. It was clear that he genuinely cared about each of our dogs and took the time to learn their individual personalities and routines. When we came home, all three pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with your pets—especially three of them—but Chris exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, attentive, and truly treats your pets like family, Chris is the one. We would book him again without hesitation. 10/10 experience. Thank you so much, Chris!”

Stephanie was AMAZING! It is so hard to leave them, but she made me so comfortable in knowing my pups were okay. She sent photos and updates daily. And I came home to a clean house which was a fantastic surprise and super nice after being on a business trip! I hope she can take care off f my babes for all of my trips! Thank you Stephanie (and Husband!)
Lexus is an incredible person and she was exactly who our sweet senior pup needed! She is also the exact person two helicopter dog parents needed to feel comfortable leaving a dog that needs a bit of special attention. Lexus proactively kept us informed of how she was doing and was sure to capture lots of little moments to share with us, which we appreciated so much. 100/10 would recommend her highly, we have already booked her for another trip, and honestly feel so relieved knowing our girl has a new friend in Lexus!
Victoria took great care of our dogs while we were traveling, she communicated with us, sent pictures and videos. We would get updates to know the dogs were well taken care of care of, and if she had a concern, she would ask. We would definitely use Victoria again!

Jin was great! Very good communication, sent photos/updates, left home in great shape, and most importantly took care of Duke well even with all his health issues! She was also so kind to be flexible with the schedule due to my son coming home earlier than expected. Appreciate it!
Wynn took excellent care of our pets! We have a big fur crew and I get nervous giving the responsibility to someone, but I had peace of mind on my trip which made a world of difference. She Did everything I asked her to do and sent me detailed updates and photos daily. Communication was great and our cats and dogs got plenty of attention. We have already booked her again. She is a 10 star sitter!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Goldenrod on Rover is $38.85 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 3,085 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
