“Sierra did a great job dogsitting my senior dog and housesitting while I was out of town for a long weekend! She sent updates and pictures, which was very reassuring!”
“Another amazing experience. Lois kept us updated with photos and videos of Molly and Diego. Knowing that our four footed family members were going to be well cared for and loved gave us peace of mind while we were gone.”
“Came home to happy, well taken care of babies and it’s all I could ask for. There was a mild snag while we were gone and we figured it out together. Wouldn’t ask anyone else to watch my 3 animals (and house).”
“Naya is a repeat house sitter for my big silly pit mix and my elderly cat. She does an incredible job of following all instructions and balancing the needs of my dog and senior cat. We trust Naya!”
“Sunshine did so well with our senior dog and senior cat! They also kept our house clean and tidy as well as brought in mail and packages. Would highly recommend!”
“Channing was great - she brought such good energy and was so natural with the dogs. Channing sent a ton of photos and was extremely communicative in the lead up and during her stay. We do not have easy dogs and Channing seemed to do great with them. Will definitely be reaching out in the future.”
“Zana was a fantastic sitter, she sent me frequent updates and pictures. The house was left in great shape and most importantly, I know my Dottie got all the love and care she needed!”
“Gavin was great. He loved our girls as much as we do!! He gave us constant updates on our girls along with pictures. He had to administer a last minute medication and did it successfully with care and love. He was neat and courteous of our home and I have already rebooked him for next weekend. I will not hesitate to book hm again in the future.”
“Lindsay was absolutely wonderful and took excellent care of our girls! She provided updates and pictures for us daily and appreciate her so much for taking such good care of them! We returned home to happy and relaxed pups and look forward to booking Lindsay again in the future!!”
“We left our year old dog in the capable hands of Dan for nine days. He stayed in our house and took such a good care of our dog and our home. We will definitely book Dan for any future trips!”
“Thank you Kathleen for a great stay with our two pups! We are always a bit uneasy leaving our dogs overnight but there wasn’t a time where we had to feel worried about anything over the past 3 nights! Kathleen sent cute pics and updates of our pups, didn’t mind the occasional behavioral issue and was overall such a great sitter who we’d recommend to anyone!”
“Lyric took excellent care of our boys and did not hesitate when she had any questions. She was super personable and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Ned is wonderful, as always! Love how communicative and responsive he is to messages and always keeps us up to date on how our babies are doing. Will definitely continue to book with him.”

“Sabrina was an excellent dog sitter - our dog Phineas seemed very relaxed and happy when we got back, which isn’t always the case. She was timely and had great communication. Her updates were detailed and fun. She did a great job!”
“Hannah was absolutely incredible! My dog has a special condition which means he requires pretty constant supervision, and she was so accommodating. I felt really comfortable leaving him with her. She provided me with thorough updates while I was away and was happy to answer my questions! I highly recommend working with Hannah.”
“Ana was amazing! She spent so much time with our senior beagle, Kirby. Walking and exercising him regularly, hanging with him and house sitting at the same time. She was responsible, communicative, knowledgeable and so pleasant sending pictures and updates. We had complete confidence with her and would recommend her to others.”
“We had a great experience with Asia. My dogs love her and she took care of them well. She sent us multiple pictures and was respectful of the house. We had her stay two nights at our house and she took care of the house and dogs well for a reasonable price. We had to take off a night initially and she quickly responded and adjusted the dates. I would 100% book Asia again.”
“Ivan was very patient and caring with my anxious Pitt bull and very energetic Rottweiler. They are not easy dogs to watch and he made me feel at ease while I was away.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Guilford is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Guilford
Morgan did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs for a week. She walked them and handled my leash-reactive puggle with treats to distract him from other dogs along the way. Morgan is a terrific communicator. My alarm system wasn’t working, and we had a series of texts to try and fix it. Her patience and calm demeanor were greatly appreciated! My house was tidy upon my return…I would have her sit again if she is available in the future!
Jun was quick to reply to my last minute request when another sitter fell through. He was so accommodating and friendly and our anxious pup was immediately comfortable in his home. He took the best care of our dog and sent lot of updates letting us know how he was getting along his cats and having a great time. Jin is the best can’t recommend him enough!
Super pet/housesitter! Easy to schedule, very communicative. Naya went above and beyond with taking care of our pets and our house while we were away. She sent frequent updates and our pets clearly loved having her stay with them. I hope we can use her professional services again soon!
Sabrina was AMAZING with our two sweet but feisty labs. She sent loads of pics so we could see how good a time everyone was having, and recounted all the fun stuff they did that day. 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.
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!
Amazing experience. We got daily reports with photos and updates. We came home and found super happy dog, packages carefully received and organized. Trash taken out. . I’d highly recommend France’s services and would definitely use her services again. A+++++ experience
Sunshine has been great with both of our senior animals, even taking care of accidents that have happened. They’re responsive and have addressed medication needs that arose while we were away. I cannot recommend them enough! Additionally, they have kept our house clean and brought in our mail and packages which we forgot were arriving while we were away.
Zach frequently gave us updates on the dog, and I could tell he was happy and well taken care of. We came back to a house cleaner than when we left it, and one of our neighbors even texted us to say how pleasant Zach was! He even did some work in our yard! Zach was also super accommodating with some last minute schedule changes, and came over two separate times before his stay to meet with the dog. I would definitely recommend Zachary for longer stays or dogs with higher needs!
Ana was amazing! She spent so much time with our senior beagle, Kirby. Walking and exercising him regularly, hanging with him and house sitting at the same time. She was responsible, communicative, knowledgeable and so pleasant sending pictures and updates. We had complete confidence with her and would recommend her to others.
Sarah did an excellent job watching our GSP while we were away. She made sure she got plenty of exercise, was very communicative, and helped us enjoy our vacation knowing Dottie was in good hands. We’re so grateful to have found someone reliable who enjoys playing with our little girl!
SJ was outstanding! They took wonderful care of our two dogs. We felt very comfortable with them from our first meeting. They provided daily check-ins with photos and gave our pups lots of great exercise. Our house was pristine when we returned. Highly highly recommended!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Guilford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Guilford on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,760 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Guilford. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
