“Channing did a wonderful job with my chonky big boy Tanky and Mochi my chinchilla. They both were cared for per instructions and I felt confident in Channings care for them while we were away. Channing also allowed us a last minute extension of the sit & were so grateful. Very communicative, as well as very respectful of our home. Everything was left exactly as it was when we left. Thanks so much Channing!”
“Asia was very communicative and flexible with my schedule, and she did a wonderful job caring for my dogs. They had a lot of cuddles, walks, and photos taken throughout the visit. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

She even sent report cards to let us know that they had been good boys. We highly recommend Sabrina and will definitely book her again.”
“Great care for our little rescue guy. My dog instantly took to her. Eileen house sat and dog sat and was beyond responsible for both. We would 100 % call her when needed. She went out of hr way and I knew my guy was safe and happy.”
“I had a great experience with Sun! I really appreciated that they asked to do a meet and greet beforehand, which made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dog in their care. I booked extremely last minute, and he was very accommodating and worked with me to make everything happen. They kept me updated throughout the entire process and did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. I would definitely book with him again!”

She came over multiple times to bond with them before we left, and she took such good care of them while we were away. We had complete peace of mind knowing she was here with our babies. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Ashley was scheduled to watch our three cats for three nights, but our plans suddenly went awry and she stepped in to save our bacon and extend her stay. She went above and beyond to make sure the house was ready for the sitter who would come after her, including washing linens. We were abroad when all this happened, so it was an immense relief to have someone considerate and reliable taking care of things. And our kitties were all in good nick when we returned! We would definitely call on her again.”

“Hannah was wonderful. Both of my pups loved her. She kept me in the loop daily with how the pups were doing, her schedule, and sent cute pictures of my pups. She is highly dependable and reliable. Most importantly, she spent quality time with my two senior pups. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Jeff was amazing!! Our dogs were so happy having him there for them (as were we)! He made sure they had plenty of love and attention, communicated regularly with us to let us know how they were doing and sent us pictures and videos of our boys. We highly recommend Jeff and will be requesting his services again when we have to leave!”

She followed their schedules, made the extra effort to play and train with my pup, kept everything clean, communicated frequently, and was an all around super star! After the first day, I didn’t even need to check in that often because she was doing such a fabulous job of updating me and sending pics!! 100/10 totally recommend :)”

We just love Emily!! She came to our home to watch Bella as she was recovering from a minor procedure. Emily was always on time and took such good care of our Bella. I felt so relieved knowing that when i went to work, i had someone that I could trust and depend on.
Ana was incredible and I could not recommend her enough! She was wonderful with my goofy, active golden retriever, communicative, and she left my house just as clean if not cleaner than I left it for her. I will absolutely ask Ana to watch my dog and my house again!
Tess was very helpful and caring with our dogs. She took over the job last minute and we appreciated her to make it work for us! We had a last minute cancellation from another sitter and we were very stressed finding someone so she was able to help . Thanks a lot for all the updates and pics , we definitely recommend her services !
Kellyn was a dream with taking care of our boys and our home during a 2 week trip. Kellyn communicated well, met their needs, and adapted to their quirks. There was total peace-of-mind while we were gone. And we cannot forget that Dumpling is now Ziggy’s best friend! We’re just sad we weren’t there to see that friendship blossom. Thank you Kellyn and Dumpling! ☺️
Imani was absolutely amazing! She watched all three of our dogs, one of ours and two of my parents, who each have very different personalities and needs, and handled everything so well. She was on top of everything from start to finish, kept us updated, and sent us pictures throughout our time away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for pups! It’s not always easy trusting someone with your dogs, especially three at once, but we felt completely comfortable knowing they were with Imani. We would absolutely recommend her!
Juliet was great! We would certainly rebook in future. Juliet watched our kitties over long weekend. When we came back it was clear the kitties were well cared for and the apartment well maintained! Juliet was communicative and understanding of our pet’s different personalities and needs! Would recommend!
Jupiter is amazing! Super understanding while sitting my dog who is both a medical pup and a behavioral pup. Jupiter was super patient with my dog who was very anxious about having a new person in the house. And kept me updated the whole time with how my dog was doing. Would definitely have Jupiter back again!🖤
From beginning to end, my experience with Blake was seamless and professional. After booking, Blake arranged to come meet my dogs and learn their routine so their experience would be as easy as possible. He showed up on time and quickly made friends with the dogs. Once my time away began, Blake showed up right when he said he would, checked in regularly, and sent pics and videos. Blake even texted to check in to offer another walk since I got a later start on my return than anticipated. When I got home, the dogs were happy and healthy and the house was in perfect order. I definitely recommend Blake!
Mary was fantastic with our fur babies as we were out of town for our wedding weekend. She came over multiple times to bond with them before we left, and she took such good care of them while we were away. We had complete peace of mind knowing she was here with our babies. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Guilford on Rover is $45.62 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 3,722 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Guilford. 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 Guilford 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 Guilford 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 Guilford 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.

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.
