“As always had another great experience with Lexus dog sitting our senior dog. Can’t say enough positive things about her professionalism and attention to detail.”
“Peter came through for me last minute! He suggested a meet and greet the day before. Peter updated me daily with photos of penthouse. I came back a little later than expected due to my flight, and I'm so grateful I didn't have to worry about my dog because Peter came through last moment for me. Thank you so much!! I will be using him again 💖”
“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.”
“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! 🐾”
“Hannah did an amazing job. I booked her for a long weekend to watch my two high engery dogs. She took them on runs and to the local dog park to get some much needed exercise. She was able to administer pills to one of my pups with no problems. During my time away my pesky pups escaped, but not to worry, Hannah dropped everything and made sure of their sade return.”
“Nevaeh is exceptional! I would highly recommend her. She is kind, communicative, attentive, and tended to both my dog's unique needs and my requests and check ins. I think my pup was more catered to while I was away, than when I work from home :) She knows how to take charge with my 80 lb dog and he absolutely adores her! I would 1000% continue to book with Nevaeh every month if we weren't moving away.”
About: I pay extra close attention to your pets needs. Whatever special conditions they require I always do my best to tend to them. Your pet is your child and I take care of them as if they were my own. As I have recently lost my baby on 09/24, I can now commit the time to take care of other fur babies. I am committed to caring for them as if they were my own. I am a guest in your home and a guardian to your fur baby. I take safety and respect of your space very seriously. I would want the same if it were me.
“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.”
About: Hi there! I’m Layla — a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. From dogs and cats to my own rabbit, I’ve been the go-to sitter for family and friends for as long as I can remember. Animals tend to feel comfortable around me — even the shy or skittish ones — and I take pride in creating a calm, caring environment where they feel safe and loved. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions on the couch, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’d love to give your furry friend the same care and attention — and keep you updated with cute pics along the way! I work full-time during the day, but I have full availability on weeknights for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I'm happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they’re getting plenty of love and attention while you're away! I offer in-home care only, so I’ll be caring for your pet in the comfort of their own home. I always follow your specific instructions to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at ease while you're away. I treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine — clean, calm, and secure.
“Great caring sitter. Everything was perfect. “Walking “Littleman in his stroller was so nice. He loves his “walks”. Everything was so clean and neat. Would use Alicia again and again. Thank you so much.”
“This was our second time booking with Glacie, and she was just as wonderful as the first time! Some of our pet care instructions had changed since our last booking, but she handled everything seamlessly without needing any additional guidance. We especially appreciate the updates and photos she sends—it always gives us peace of mind and helps us feel connected to our fur babies while we're away. She also took great care of our home, which we truly value. We can't recommend Glacie highly enough and will absolutely continue booking with her in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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.”
About: I'm so excited to welcome, play with and care for your furry love. Please read the following: I am accessible by phone all the time, and I love taking pictures, so you can expect to get lots of updates of how your dog is doing! Your dog’s stay will not overlap with other dogs so your dog will receive the care and attention he or she deserves! - DAYCARE: The neighborhood is very pet friendly. Doggy bags nearby. - WALKS: Can personally walk your dog up to 2 miles. We stay active! Give your dog the walk he/she deserves while you're away at work or on vacation. - DOGGY BAGS / DOGGY BOWLS: Please provide the necessary items your dog needs while away. It's a good idea to reserve dates as soon as you know you need me! We can schedule a time to meet briefly before the first stay so we can discuss details and get you familiar with my home. In your booking request, please include your drop off and pick up times. Check out my rate and time guidelines above. I'm very flexible on times with a couple exceptions, which can be discussed. Please send your dog with their food (either pre-portioned or with a measuring scoop/cup), their treats, leash and collar and any other items such as toys. If your dog is crate trained, please bring that too. Please message me for any questions. I'm so excited to get to know you and looking forward to sitting your furry one. Weekly routine includes waking up, several walks during the day, constant updates to clients and ensuring there's a happy exciting day every day. The day varies as the client or pet! Pets are spoken to, walked, and given proper attention. For previous clients during week long stays, they were played with, fed and given baths in addition to constant updates!
“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!”
“Kaitlyn was so good with my Penny. Super professional and communicative, and she sent lots of pictures. She clearly loves what she does - it really comes through. Thanks for taking such great care of Penny and my house while I was gone.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cedar was absolutely amazing! Extremely professional, communicative, and attentive throughout the entire stay. They kept me updated with pictures and detailed check-ins, ensuring I always knew how my dogs were doing. I couldn’t be happier with their service! My two dogs can be reactive and challenging at times, but they handled them with such patience and care. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled dog sitter. Will definitely be booking again!”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Goldenrod
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!
It was my first time using rover and honestly the first time leaving my dog with anyone that wasn’t family and I am so glad that it was Izzy that I got to work with. She totally made me feel at ease and offered to come meet the dogs before hand (was watching mine and my sisters dog at the same time) she left our home spotless and all the pictures of the dogs when we were gone we could totally tell they adored her, will definitely be booking again with Izzy!
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.
We were apprehensive at first basically getting a stranger to come stay in the house with our fur babies, but autumn was an absolute blessing. She kept us updated. The house was tidy my puppies look so happy and took to her very well. I love the open line of communication she provided and she was totally amazing. Looking forward for my next trip so she can come over and stay with our for babies again. I highly recommend her services and anyone will be lucky to choose her.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Goldenrod
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.
