“I chose Matt because I had read his reviews and he lived up to the reputation! I think dogs are a good judge of character and she warmed up to him immediately upon his first visit to meet her. I had plans to leave the country and needed to feel like my pup was in good hands and well cared for. She has some special needs and Matt made sure she received the care she required. I loved the updates, pictures and videos Matt sent, all which helped me know she was happy and healthy. She even is jumping on people less! He somehow taught her to stop this annoying behavior and I need to find out how he did this!! I definitely would recommend him!”
“I knew that Thomas would be the perfect sitter for our dog, Buddy, as soon as I met him. He's kind and respectful and articulate. He came over a week before our vacation to meet our dog and get the lay of the land. He was right on time for that meeting and right on time the day that we left for vacation. While we were on vacation he sent us photos of Buddy each evening, with a brief update on their day. Our house was spotless when we returned. We will definitely use Thomas again in the future.”
“Brynn was an amazing sitter! They were kind and responsive. Our dog enjoyed time in nature and came back to us tired and happy from a great weekend! Brynn is definitely a responsible sitter to use.”
“We felt very comfortable with Colin coming to look after our doggies. We had a very good meet and greet. Colin was thorough in asking about our needs for our pets. He was willing to adjust our schedule for a slight change. We received a cute photo of Milo while we were away. A wonderful experience with a delightful and thoughtful care giver!”
“Having Julie G house sit and care for my 85 lb. hound Dave was dreamlike. She seemed to accept and appreciate Dave and his coonhound ways seamlessly from the jump. She took copious notes about Da daily needs and expectations at the meet & greet, asked intelligent questions about his routine and I was able to leave town completely confident Dave was in good loving hands. She sent me daily pics and reports while I was away, and left Dave mellower and the house cleaner than it was when I left. A terrific experience from my perspective Can't recommend Julie G strongly enough as a house and hound sitter.”
“Holy moly, Nieves is awesome! From the meet and greet, through our trip, to our return, she provided first class service. She communicates so well, lots of fun updates and pics and cute collages of my pet, and post it notes about her last day before she left. She followed our care document to a T and took the best care of Daisy. I highly recommend and will be booking her again!”
“Lori is awesome. She watched our senior dog and our 2-year-old dog in our home for a week-long trip. She communicated very well and sent tons of pictures. She gave medications to our senior dog (who requires a lot of patience) and kept our younger dog well exercised. When our flight home got delayed, Lori was super understanding and flexible during the uncertainty. Our house was spotless when we got home. Lori is a true professional and we'd recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, Lori, for giving us peace of mind while we were away.”
“Debbie was absolutely incredible with my 2.5 year old pit mix Brooks. He took to them almost instantly at the meet and greet, and I felt 100% comfortable with them staying at my house and looking after him. Debbie kept me updated with pictures and texts and took amazing care of him. Having somebody stay in your house and look after your pet is always a little daunting, but after chatting with Debbie and her partner for 20 minutes while they got to know Brooks I had no hesitation about having Debbie stay and care for him. Debbie and her partner are really awesome people and clearly both love — and are good with — animals. Debbie will be my go-to first choice for any dog sitting I need doing in the future, without a doubt.”
“Ace is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!! Ace is so caring, compassionate, and dedicated to the happiness of her Adopted Fur Babies.... Which funnels through to the Fur Babies Momma. Ace is in constant communication and asks questions to assist with the Fur Babies happiness. We looked forward to all the pictures that Ace sent us. We could tell from these pictures that our Fur Babies were well taken care of and happy. Ace follows the plan of care so well, of course, Clyde and Bella are there to assist. lol Ace was so respectful of our home and left it in the same neatness as upon arrival. If I could, I would give ACE 10 stars!!!!! 🐾🐾💕”
About: Ive been caring for pets for many years. I had a dog walking business over a decade ago. We taken care of our own and others elderly dogs. We like taking dogs on long off leash walks in groups if possible. Dogs are always welcome to cuddle up on the furniture. Im a stay at home-mom, homeschooling. We go to play groups and trips but we can plan our day around dog walks. We take the dogs out first thing in the morning. We are happy to come feed kitties and water plants. We love taking dogs out on walks and caring for them in our home. We love going on long walks mid day out in nature. We recently put in a large fenced in area. Sometimes it has free ranging chickens. Dogs can go right out the back door to a huge play area, my 10lbs dog cant get out of. The fence is 4’ high.
“We have an elderly and blind jack russel terrior who has a bit of an attitude and can be reluctant to get out and about but needs it. After meeting Bree I felt assured that she would do a great job taking care of our dog and the house. I was not disappointed. She sent me text updates and pictures which reassured me while I was away and asked questions as necessary. Most importantly, my dog was happy and content in the photos and when we got home. I will be a repeat customer.”
“I asked Jesse if he had a minute to stop by the house, just to meet the dogs and get familiar with our schedule and the medication one of the dogs needs for seizures. Jesse was very accommodating and very comfortable with the dogs. We felt very comfortable leaving Jesse in charge of our dogs and our home. He did check in with us during our absence and was at the house with our guys when we got home. We would not hesitate to contact Jesse again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. Walking, feeding, and bathing both dogs and cats. I consider my pets family members! All of my babies are rescues. I have trained my dog through the GoodPup app and he knows the commands sit, stay, lay down, up, paw, leave it, heal, touch, and find it. All my pets are given enrichment activities throughout the day. They’re also stimulated with play/exercise. I know dog and cat body language. I have worked with dogs that have seizure disorders and know how to administer medication to both cats and dogs. I’m work Monday to Friday with my weekends free and open. My work schedule is Monday-Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm. I can take dogs for long walks, stimulate them through play, or with enrichment activities. I can administer medication if needed. For cats I can clean the litter box and stimulate them through play or enrichment activities. I can administer medication if needed. Pet safety is my first priority. I believe knowing pet body language is so important because that’s how they communicate their needs. I will care for your love ones as if they were my own! I will follow your schedule and instructions exactly as is because, you know your pet best! I can bath, walk, feed, administer medication, and give my full attention to your babies ☺️
“Cam was nothing short of amazing! We have an old fuddy duddy cat who has never liked anyone except for us. However, the first night Cam spent at our house he was actively seeking pats from Cam! We even have photographic proof, thanks to Cam managing to snap a photo whilst actively petting him. We have another lovely petsitter who has literally been trying to make friends with Buster for 4 years and he still won't let her near him. Cam clearly has a magical touch.”

“Erin was the perfect dog (and house) sitter. We came home to a relaxed and happy senior dog and the house just as we had left it. Erin went above and beyond by bringing in mail and trash can, watering plants and even reached out to see when Riley could go on the lawn after it was fertilized. Erin is professional and responsive. We will definitely be booking with Erin again!”
“Carmen was a perfect pet sitter every step of the way! Great communication, amazing care, and she is clearly experienced and knowledgeable. I recommend her highly and will definitely rely on her again to care for our puppy.”

I would HIGHLY recommend Alexis to anyone looking for exceptional pet care! This is the second time she’s cared for my two cats, and once again, I couldn’t be happier. I get very anxious leaving my kitties, especially since they have some separation anxiety, but Alexis always makes me feel completely at ease. She keeps me updated with adorable pictures and makes sure they get plenty of company, attention, and love while I’m away. She is incredibly attentive with their feeding and playtime, keeps their areas tidy, and takes great care of my apartment as well, even vacuuming and doing laundry. Both of my cats were completely relaxed and content when I returned, and it’s so clear how comfortable they are with her! It means so much to travel knowing my cats are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. Alexis is reliable, thoughtful, and wonderful with them. I absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!
Julia is such a sweet, kind, compassionate, patient, smart, rockstar! We adopted a large mix breed 3yr old dog, and she was excellent with keeping up his training during the overnight we were gone! He was a happy dog! She played with him a bunch, and long walks. She also kept our home very tidy! We are looking forward to supporting Julia’s business as much as possible! HIGHLY recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hatfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 673 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hatfield. 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 Hatfield 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 Hatfield 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 Hatfield 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.

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.
