“Maria was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my dog Chance for four nights at my home. From the moment we met, I could tell she truly loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She was warm, professional, and completely put my mind at ease. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with messages and photos of Chance looking happy and relaxed, which meant the world to me. I could tell he was getting lots of love, attention, and playtime. She also kept my home spotless, which was a lovely bonus to come back to. It’s not easy to leave your pet with someone else, but Maria made the experience seamless and worry-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Chance again—and I know he’d be thrilled to see her too! Highly, highly recommend!”

“Drea did a wonderful job! She came to my house before my trip to meet me and my kitties, Gus and Boo. She was really good with G and B, and she consistently sent me photos and updates. From her photos and updates, it appears that she took good care of my babies, and they were happy with her. And she left my house neat and the linens in the laundry, as I requested. It's a big deal to trust one's home and beloved kitties with someone new, and I can say that I'd absolutely ask Drea back the next time I travel! Drea--thanks so very much!!!!”

“Alex was the best stand in fur mama I could have asked for. She treated my pups as if they were her own. Upon a house visit, while I was away on vacation, she discovered that my AC had broken. She immediately and lovingly volunteered to take her own pups to her mom’s house so that she could bring mine to stay at hers. Thankfully, I was able to get repairs done that day. While I was making arrangements she sat in her car with them, AC blasting, so that they could stay cool. She dropped them off a daycare for me, while the AC repair guy was working his magic. Then picked them up, brought them home, and cuddled them on the couch. None of this was what she was hired to do, she truly went above and beyond! And she did so in such a nurturing and happily willing manor. I am sooooo grateful they were in the care of someone who clearly and genuinely loves dogs. I will most definitely use Alex’s services again and recommend her to anyone who wants their pups well taken care of.”

About: Returning to Rover after a 4 year hiatus after the loss of my fiancee. Together we had a one-eye Pekingese, Sammy. Before Sammy I had a cat, Taz, for all his 15 years before he passed away from CHF. I also grew up in a house full of German Shepherds! There were even cows at one point! Happy to take pups on walks or drop-in on your fur baby to give potty breaks/change litter, give medications, and feeding. Hope to hear from you soon! I currently work full time in. a post op unit at a hospital Monday - Thursday. So I can drop - in or walk your pet as needed on the weekends. Can take care of your pet on Weekend days as I am off on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So make those plans! I can cover you! In your home I will care for your pet as you do. I find that sticking to established routines will help your pet feel more at ease in your absence.

About: I have so much genuine love for animals and my experience with a wide range of pets. I'm super comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. I've got some training experience with puppies, so I can help reinforce basic commands and good behavior. Plus, I'm really good at recognizing when a pet might need extra attention or medical care, especially with older animals. I always make sure to keep their routines consistent and give them lots of love! I make sure pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine by prioritizing it. I schedule specific blocks of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and any necessary vet visits. I also keep a flexible schedule so I can adjust to any unexpected needs or emergencies that may arise. Since I don’t watch dogs at my place, I focus on providing top-notch care in my clients' homes. When I'm at your place, I stick to your pet's routine as closely as possible, so they feel secure and comfortable. I always make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. I'm also super careful about keeping their environment clean and safe.

About: I’ve grown up with many different animals, including dogs, cats, lizards, horses, and chickens. Most of my recent experience is with cats as they are my most recent pets but I do have a couple years of experience caring for dogs. I also have many years of experience of working with young horses, so I know how to hold my ground and work through potential problems well. I just love being around animals of any kind! I'm currently a college student with classes during the week. I am available early mornings (before 9 A.M.) and after 2 P.M. every weekday except Tuesday. My weekends are fully open. I have a lot of free time in my week to come hang out with pets! I always maintain a clean and comfortable living environment within your home for your pet(s). I'm very attentive to detail and make sure to watch for out of the ordinary behaviors. I ensure that the owners feel safe leaving pets in my care by communicating often and sending updates.

“I cannot recommend Megan highly enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my little girl, Sil, and gave me something that, under the circumstances, was priceless: peace of mind. Just a few days before Megan cared for her, Sil had undergone major surgery to amputate her entire front leg. Needless to say, I was extremely hesitant to leave her alone, especially with someone she had never met. From the very beginning, Megan put my mind at ease. She came over for a meet-and-greet the day before, listened carefully to my concerns and instructions, and made sure she understood exactly what Sil needed. What impressed me most was how genuinely caring, attentive, and dependable Megan was. She followed my instructions perfectly, treated Sil with the kindness and attention she deserved, and made an incredibly stressful situation so much easier. There’s a big difference between finding someone who will watch your dog and finding someone you can truly trust with a member of your family. Megan is the latter. I’m genuinely grateful to have found her and would trust Megan with Sil again without a moment’s hesitation. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to the animals in her care. Thank you, Megan, for taking such wonderful care of my little girl!”

About: I have experience sitting cats and dogs. References can be provided upon request. I had my own dog for about 10 years. I was responsible for walking and feeding her. I also took her to the groomers. Our favorite time was play time. I am currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available for dog walks on weekdays 8am to 6pm, depending on the day. I do not offer boarding. Care for each pet is individualized and pet professional recommend allowing pets to stay in a familiar environment to promote pet mental health. It depends on what the pet and owner are accustomed to. Communication is key.

Maria was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of our cat, Star, and our home while we were away. She was attentive, dependable, and thoughtful, keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind throughout our trip. It was clear that Star was in loving hands. We returned home knowing everything had been well cared for, and we couldn't be more grateful. We would absolutely trust Maria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet and house sitter. Thank you, Maria!

I truly cannot recommend Eduardo enough! If I could give him more than five stars, I absolutely would. I’ve actually been a dog sitter myself for many dogs over the years, so I know what I look for in someone caring for mine. This was my first time leaving my 14-year-old and 4-year-old dogs with someone who wasn’t a friend or family member, and I was also traveling internationally, so I was definitely a little nervous going into it. The second I met Eduardo, though, I immediately felt at ease. My dogs took to him right away, and from the very beginning it was obvious how attentive and detail-oriented he is. He asked thoughtful, specific questions about each dog—their routines, personalities, quirks, preferences, and what makes them comfortable. He genuinely cared about keeping their normal schedule and making their time with him feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Our dogs are relatively easy, but one does have some anxiety, especially during storms, and Eduardo handled him wonderfully. What impressed me most was how well he seemed to understand both of their individual personalities in such a short amount of time. He didn’t just make sure they were fed, walked, and taken care of—he genuinely spent time with them, engaged with them, and made them feel comfortable and loved. And the updates were AMAZING. They were detailed, thoughtful, funny, and came with the best pictures. With every update, I felt like I was getting a little glimpse into their day rather than just receiving the standard “dogs are good!” message. You could genuinely see how happy and relaxed they were in every photo. He picked up on all of their little nuances and personality traits, and somehow managed to capture them perfectly. Even while I was thousands of miles away, I still felt completely connected to what they were doing and how they were feeling. Funny enough, my husband and I were on two separate trips that weekend, and both of our groups had friends who also had dogs at home with pet sitters. We were each sharing Eduardo’s updates with our respective groups, and EVERYONE was blown away by him—especially compared with the updates they were receiving from their own sitters! By the end of the weekend, Eduardo had basically developed a fan club of people who had never even met him. 😂 He was also incredibly respectful of our home. We came back to everything exactly as we had left it and, most importantly, to two very happy, relaxed dogs who clearly had an amazing weekend themselves. There is such a huge difference between finding someone who will simply take care of your pets and finding someone who makes you feel completely comfortable being away from them. Eduardo is absolutely the latter. The peace of mind he gave us was invaluable, and I never once worried about whether our dogs were safe, happy, or getting enough attention. I would recommend Eduardo 100 times over. He is attentive, trustworthy, communicative, responsible, kind, and clearly genuinely loves the animals he cares for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him and will absolutely be booking him again. Anyone who gets Eduardo as their sitter—and any pet who gets to spend time with him—is incredibly lucky!

There were some last minute challenges thrown in the mix with Eve getting sick and needing to receive medications while I was away and Kathy’s experience was a game changer for easing my mind while away. She also did a great job giving love to my cats who did drive by visits with her throughout the stay.

Erika was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. She stayed with them at my apartment for several days. My Lhasa Apso is a subborn pain in the butt that isn’t comfortable with being left with strangers. But Erica won him over!! My other baby is a pug mix with diabetes. She lost her site due to the diabetes as well. She gets insulin injections twice per day along with a couple diff eye drops. It’s crucial that she gets her medication’s at exactly 12 hours apart every single day. She can’t be late and she can’t miss a dosage. She made sure to stay on top of it every single day. She sent me pictures and videos several times a day. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my babies than Erika. I have been in Florida for 5 1/2 years and I finally found someone to take care of them when I want to leave to see my kids out of state and not feel stressed or worried about their care 💕🙌 I highly recommend

Shay was a pleasure to meet. Very personable and friendly from the moment I met her. I have two dogs that can be a bit timid, and nervous with new people. She has a nice calming spirit about her and they both took to her quickly. I appreciate all the pictures and detailed updates she sent. She left the house, looking great and emptied the trash and made sure the boys had water. Everything was perfect! I will definitely book with her again whenever she’s available. She was very responsive from when I first contacted her through the whole booking. Thank you the boys loved you!

FAQs for House Sitting - Golf

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Golf is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $68 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 3,150 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Golf. 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 Golf 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 Golf 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 Golf 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.
