“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!”
“Peter did a great job… he was very caring for our dog and house. He has been open to our comments that allow him to fully understand what we look for in a dog/house sitter.”
“Lia was great- Super friendly, great communication, and punctual. I think she took good care of Apollo and was engaging and playful. Will definitely contact again for future needs!”
About: I have 3 cats. I love them all. One is a senior with the energy of a teen. One is reserved but playful. The last one is very selective with how she likes to receive attention and she gets all the love as such. They all get my attention and care in their unique ways, and I would be doing the same with your pets. I may be a cat person, but I love dogs too. Your dogs will be getting some extra attention and loving from me. Aside from just walking your dogs, we could go for a quick run, play some tug of war, whatever toys you have available. Now cats, I love playing with cats, snuggling with cats, and just occupying the same room as cats. Whatever your cats need, I'm just there to make sure they are okay and that they don't get too lonely while you're gone. I will be taking pictures of your pets and sending them to you so you know they are being taken care of or just to remind you how cute they are. Can also watch over cats colonies while you're gone. At the moment, I am very flexible. I am free most of the week for most of the day. I limit any visits between 10 am and 8 pm. I will be starting with soon, and I'll have to limit myself to evenings. For dogs, if you have any toys they like to play with, I will play with them using those toys. I will go on walks with them to make sure their business gets done. If they have been naughty and made a mess, I will tidy things back up for you with your permission. For cats, I bring my own toys if needed to play cats. Cats I've watched over loved the rainbow string wand and the mini plush soccer balls I bought for my own cats. I like to brush cats and help them de-shed. I regularly clean out the litter box and use a deodorizer on both the remaining litter and litter dumped if left in the trash bag. Essentially how I treat my cats, I would treat yours with the understanding that I am a stranger in their home.
“Another perfect pet sitting session complete. Isabella goes above and beyond to help. We have a senior dog she's amazing with and communication is top notch. We already have her booked again.”
“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.”
“Delicia was absolutely amazing with Leah. She followed directions on the care that was requested for my husky smd also was very good at sending pictures and keeping in touch I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs care for their pet will definitely rebook her over and over again”
“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.”
“Christina was great & took the time to get to know our puppy Coco before we went on vacation. She sent us regular photos, videos & updates (she should be a photographer 📷). She took Coco for walks & played with her. We highly recommend Christina for taking care of and loving on your pet. We will definitely have her watch Coco again.”
“Anneke was a literal dream! This is the first time I've ever had a non-family member watch Rocco and she was so communicative and understanding. She was so good with Rocco and I felt so comfortable with her there. 10/10 all around. We will definitely be booking her again and again!”
About: Hello there! My name is Griffin and I’m so glad you’re here. I have a deep affection for dogs, considering them my favorite animals. Ensuring the happiness and well-being of the dogs under my care is always a top priority for me. I’m someone who naturally stays home for a majority of my time, so being able to sit dogs gives me immense joy in caring for them. Caring for my late dog Lola opened my eyes to the canine world. Any dog I care for is a new best friend waiting to meet again, and it is in my best interest to treat them like my own to build lasting bonds that stay.
“Jackie provided an outstanding first pet-sitting experience for us. From the start, our two dogs and cat were at ease in her care—even our typically shy cat and one of our dogs quickly warmed up to her, which truly highlights her calm and compassionate nature. She provided daily updates along with photos and videos, giving us great peace of mind while we were away. Jackie consistently went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, handling the trash bins, and even making sure our dogs were comfortably dressed in their nightly pajamas. Jackie is kind, attentive, and incredibly reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. We will absolutely be using her for all of our future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Jackie, for your outstanding care!”
“Hailey was a wonderful dogsitter! She stayed at our house over a weekend and took great care of our dog. She was very responsive to texts, kept us updated with photos, and was attentive to details that I left in our notes. The house was clean when we got back and she brought in mail and packages. We had a great experience and we’ve already rebooked Hailey to watch our dog 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! 😊”
“Bella did an absolutely amazing job caring for my two little ones!! I was so nervous as multiple other sitters had cancelled last minute and we were getting very close to the trip - she was so fast and courteous in her messaging and came out to do a meet and greet the next evening. She stayed in my home and kept me fully looped in on how things were going with multiple pictures throughout the trip. My two smaller dogs can be picky with people but they both adored her from the jump and they got so much love while I was gone. My littles have never been so happy while I’ve been gone, and my house was cleaned up when I returned! I will absolutely be booking Bella in the future, her care for dogs in unmatched!”
About: I am currently caring for my own two senior dogs and have experience showing compassion in every stage of life and administering medication. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I have also cared for birds, rodents, and reptiles. I work as a freelance musician and have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets and make time to fulfill their needs. I keep my dogs on a leash and give kind attention within boundaries. In your home, safety is always a priority making sure to be aware of doors that need to be closed and locked.
About: I have had chocolate labs my whole life. From crazy puppies to gray seniors, so I am very comfortable with all the stages of a dog's life, including puppy energy and older dogs who need a gentler pace. One of my labs was 100+ lbs, so I am confident handling bigger, stronger dogs too, not just small or medium breeds. I also had a cat for 10+ years, so I am comfortable around other pets and know how to help dogs and cats coexist peacefully if needed. Beyond my own pets, I dog sit for family friends, so caring for animals outside my own home is second nature to me. Whatever size or stage your dog is in, I will treat them with the same patience and love I give my own. I recently graduated from college, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am home most days, which means I can give dogs lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I also have my own dog, so caring for pets is already part of my daily routine—from feeding and potty breaks to making sure they get plenty of love and exercise. I am happy to work around your pet's schedule and provide the care they need, whether that's early mornings, evenings, or throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priority. At my home, I have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get some fresh air while always being supervised. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will do my best to keep them on their normal routine with consistent feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I know every pet is different, so I am happy to follow any instructions you leave to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I also will not leave pets alone for long periods because they deserve companionship and quality care while you are away. If your dog needs to be watched inside my home, it is important to know that have chocolate lab. He is 8 years old and he is super friendly and gets along well with other dogs.

Delicia was absolutely amazing with Leah. She followed directions on the care that was requested for my husky smd also was very good at sending pictures and keeping in touch I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs care for their pet will definitely rebook her over and over again
Lexus has once again been our saving grace. Our sweet Tory is still recovering from some mobility issues and we had a long work trip and weekend away, it was the first time we have left our girl for this long in ages, and knowing she was still recovering made leaving her all the more difficult, but Lexus is such a pro, Tory loves her, and she does such a great job taking care of her. Can't recommend her more, 10/10!
This was our first time ever using Rover & hiring someone that wasn’t family to take care of Titan. He is an anxious boy with a stand off personality at first until he feels safe. Wow, Jodi was so amazing with him. She did a meet and greet and right away the way she respected his space and let her warm up to him, I knew she was going to be great! She updated us throughout our time away so we had no worries at all & even sent lots of photos so we knew Titan was eating and warming up to her. We will definitely be using Jodi again In the future. Thanks so much Jodi 😊
Anneke was a literal dream! This is the first time I've ever had a non-family member watch Rocco and she was so communicative and understanding. She was so good with Rocco and I felt so comfortable with her there. 10/10 all around. We will definitely be booking her again and again!
Kailey was communicative and amazing with my pets! She sent photos daily. My pets were really happy and loved. They went on walks, played fetch, and snuggled. We had a delayed flight home and she made sure they were taken care of. Highly recommended her to anyone in need of a pet sitter! 😊
We are thankful for the care Marin provided for both of our pups while we were away. We hired her for the weekend to house sit and take care of the dogs, and she did a great job! She kept us updated with photos and texts and even handled some unexpected, last minute medication needs for our older pup. We would highly recommend her and would definitely have her sit for us again!
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!)
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 of House Sitting in Goldenrod is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,066 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
