“Sirrine went above and beyond. I could not recommend her more highly. She was amazing with our dogs and left our house spotless! When we got home our dogs were calm and happy 😃 I would highly recommend her to anyone looking!”
“We could not have asked for a better sitter than Megan for our week-plus trip. Going in, we were honestly a little nervous — between our 3 dogs (1 German Shepherd and 2 Corgis) and 6 cats, it's a lot of personalities and needs to juggle — but Megan handled it like she'd been doing it for years. She sent check-ins every single day, complete with pictures and videos, so we never once wondered how everyone was doing. The dogs were brushed daily, walked, fed on schedule, and clearly happy and relaxed in every photo. The cats got just as much attention, which isn't always a given with a multi-pet household this size. She also stayed right on top of medicine and vitamins for the whole crew, never missing a dose — that alone takes a level of organization and trust we don't hand out lightly. What really stood out was the state of our house when we got home. It wasn't just "fine" — it was spotless, arguably cleaner than when we left. Litter boxes maintained, no messes left behind, everything tidy and put away. That level of care and respect for our home, on top of juggling 9 animals and their daily meds, says a lot about her reliability and work ethic. If you have a full house and want someone who treats your pets and your space like their own, book Megan. We'll absolutely be using her again.”

“What an excellent pet sitter! She took wonderful care of both of my pups, sent picture updates throughout their stay, and was incredibly accommodating with scheduling. I truly enjoyed the entire experience and felt completely comfortable knowing my pups were in great hands. I will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future and highly recommend her!”

“Benjamin and Carrie did a great job taking care of my critters. My senior cat is on multiple medications which are given throughout the day, and they handled that process with ease. They also kept to my early morning walk schedule for my dog and made sure she got to see her friends (both people and other dogs) every morning. Coming home to a clean house was great - and much appreciated. I would definitely recommend them, and will use them again when I take trips in the future.”

Stephanie was absolutely incredible, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We have a multi-pet household with several cats, multiple who require daily medication, and a rabbit, so our daily needs are complicated! Stephanie handled everything flawlessly and went above and beyond in every way. She was extremely reliable, communicative, and thoughtful. She sent daily updates with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It made such a difference being able to fully relax and enjoy our trip knowing our pets were in such capable and caring hands. When we got home, the house looked amazing—all the litter boxes were clean and everything was exactly how we left it. Most importantly, our pets were happy and comfortable, and it genuinely seemed like they bonded with her while we were gone. We felt complete trust and confidence in Stephanie from start to finish. She truly exceeded our expectations, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, and compassionate sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Harmaston is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $104 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 November 2026, there are 3,261 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harmaston. 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 Harmaston 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 Harmaston 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 Harmaston 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harmaston. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
