Ayden was a fantastic house sitter. He took incredible care of our numerous animals, and even noticed that our pellet stove had malfunctioned and let us know! We highly recommend him.

About: I used to babysit for my friends, family membersand & neighbors. As well as I've had many pets of my own; cats, dogs guinea pigs, hamsters, you name it. I'm very good at handling bigger dogs. I'm very flexible when it comes to time and will work around your schedule. I'm currently home from college for spring break and my time is very open for both weekends and weekdays. My working hours start at 7am and go till 11pm. (But I can fluctuate with your schedule) I have a fenced backyard. And one very friendly small/medium dog, he's a little shy, but he gets along with everyone. I believe that our pet should be treated like family members. Walks, treats, attention and lots of love.

We’ve had Amber drop in on a few separate occasions now and have had a great experience each time. She’s been attentive to both dogs behaviors and makes sure to check in with questions or concerns. I have a peace of mind when Amber visits if I’ll be away from home for an extended time during the day. Based on the photos, the dogs definitely have a great time with her too!

Elias took fantastic care of my tricky kitty, including administering meds in food and dealing with frozen wet food (Smalls) which is trickier than scooping dry food or opening a can. They were very responsive communication-wise and enthusiastic. I will definitely turn to them again for kitty care when I next leave town.

About: I volunteered for 1.5 years at a shelter in Montana and most recently worked at a doggie daycare/boarding facility as a handler and trainer for approximately a year. I personally have been a dog owner since 2013 (not including family dogs growing up). I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and demeanors. I have extensive hands-on training in reading dog body language. I am particularly well-versed in building a good relationship with nervous/fearful dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own pet! I’m currently working full-time and looking to do pet care on the side. My schedule can vary from week to week but we can figure out what works best for both of our schedules. I always respect a dog’s boundaries and never do anything that they are uncomfortable with. I am a very confident handler and that helps in building a trusting relationship with a new dog. Even if the dog immediately wants to be my best friend, I let them come to me and I let them set the tone and pace. The most important thing with any dog is patience and not forcing them into a situation that could be stressful for them. I have successfully trained two dogs that I adopted with behavioral issues including reactivity to other dogs & people, and resource guarding. I believe in positive reinforcement ALWAYS. If a correction is needed I use a firm but calm voice, and praise when the inappropriate behavior stops. You can rest assured that I will never do anything to harm your beloved pet.

About: Pet Care and Housesitting Experience (18 Years): With over a decade of dedicated pet care and housesitting experience, I travel all over the world to housesit, and I have developed a deep understanding and genuine love for both animals and providing a comfortable, secure environment for homeowners. Throughout the years, I have had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and small mammals. My approach to pet care is centered around building strong relationships with the animals I look after. I take the time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines, ensuring that they feel safe, loved, and well-taken care of in their owner's absence. From feeding and grooming to exercise and playtime, I am committed to maintaining a consistent and nurturing environment that meets each pet's individual needs. In addition to pet care, I am also well-versed in housesitting responsibilities. I understand the importance of home security and take great care in maintaining a clean, organized, and secure living space. I am diligent in following any specific instructions provided by homeowners, such as handling mail, watering plants, and ensuring the overall well-being of the property. Reliability, trustworthiness, and clear communication are the cornerstones of my services. I strive to provide homeowners with peace of mind, knowing that their beloved pets are in capable hands and their homes are being well-cared for during their absence. I am happy to provide references from previous clients who have appreciated my professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. In summary, my 18 years of pet care and housesitting experience have equipped me with the skills, knowledge, and compassion necessary to provide exceptional care for your beloved pets and maintain the security of your home. I've been assisting my friends/clients with their pets for either a few days or several months. I have traveled across the country to assist in need. I am able to provide assistance on short notices. I am dedicated to ensuring an stress-free experience for both you and your furry family members, allowing you to enjoy your time away with confidence and peace of mind. Flexibility and Adaptability: While I maintain a structured routine, I understand that flexibility is crucial in accommodating unexpected circumstances or special needs. I am adaptable and ready to make adjustments to the routine when necessary, ensuring that my pet's well-being remains the top priority. By seamlessly integrating pet care into my weekly routine, I am able to provide consistent care, attention, and love to my furry companion. This ensures they lead a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life, while also strengthening the bond we share. When it comes to the well-being of pets, my approach is rooted in three core principles: safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. I believe that by prioritizing these aspects, I can provide the best possible care for our furry companions. Safety is paramount in my pet care practices. I am meticulous in ensuring that the environment is free from hazards and potential risks. From securing gates and doors to removing toxic substances from their reach, I take proactive measures to create a safe space where pets can thrive. Building trust is essential for a positive pet-caretaker relationship. I take the time to establish a bond with each animal, understanding their unique needs, preferences, and behavioral cues. By being patient, gentle, and respectful, Tho I do realize some pets can have a human personality, so I do tend to treat them as children. I earn their trust and create an environment where they feel safe and secure. I also maintain consistency in their routines, ensuring that they feel comfortable and at ease in their daily activities. Creating a nurturing environment is crucial for the overall well-being of pets. I provide ample love, attention, Reiki, and affection, recognizing that each animal has their own individual personality and emotional needs. Regular exercise and mental stimulation are incorporated into their daily routines to promote physical health and mental stimulation. In addition to direct pet care, I am also mindful of the larger environment in which they reside. I strive to minimize their ecological footprint by utilizing eco-friendly products and practices. I am committed to creating a sustainable environment that promotes the well-being of both pets and the planet. By embodying the values of safety, trust, and a nurturing environment, I provide a holistic approach to pet care. I am dedicated to ensuring that pets under my care receive the highest level of attention, compassion, and respect. Their safety, well-being, and happiness are my top priorities, allowing pet owners to have peace of mind knowing that their beloved companions are in capable hands.

Louis is amazing. She faced challenges with my cats with grace, she was very flexible about trying different ways to take care of them (they don't do strangers). She went above and beyond to make sure my babies were safe and taken care of. Would absolutely work with again. Highly recommend!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Guilford on Rover is $21.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 507 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Guilford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Guilford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Guilford. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
