About: I've taken care of dogs pretty regularly, from chihuahuas to great danes. I work well with senior dogs just as well as energetic young dogs :) I'm an online graduate student with an internship in Vancouver, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm almost always open on weekends as well. Whatever fits you needs. I have a fenced in yard at home, and food is usually separated from my other pets' food and typical routines to limit interaction. At a clients home, I work hard to keep the home pristine and keep an eye on your pets wherever they go.
“Extremely appreciative and pleased with Ingrid's house sitting! She promptly responded to all messages, provided reassuring check-ins, and carefully looked after our neurotic (reactive) Mini Aussie.”

“Veronica was great! We hired her to watch our dogs while we attended a concern. Our dogs took a liking to her right away and she sent us updates when we were at the concert. Thank you Veronica!”

“This is the third or fourth time Paul has sat for our dog and we always know she’s in great hands with him. Jan sends frequent video and photo updates so we feel connected. The house is immaculate when we return and even the house plants look like they’re in better shape after a week with Paul 😄”

About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m attentive to their needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and patient with every animal I care for. During summer I have lots of free time, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine with feeding, walks, play, and weekly cleaning tasks. I provide safe, attentive care in clients’ homes, follow instructions closely, keep routines consistent, maintain cleanliness, and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. I don’t pet sit at home.
About: I’ve had many dogs over the years since I was little. Friends and family who’ve i’ve helped with their dogs on walks or sitting ! I’m currently seeking long term work in something more enjoyable for me. Would love to help with animals in the mean time and am available! I can easily follow any instructions or steps needed for their pets as well as make sure they have a good time with a companion.
“Krystal is absolutely amazing! We have a very fragile diabetic pup, that we adore! Because of her insulin needs and blood sugar checks, as well as also having addisons disease (which complicates her blood sugars even more), we haven’t gone on a family vacation since her diagnosis three years ago. She is an amazing dog, but complicated to care for. So, when our family was planning to leave town, we found Krystal on Rover. After seeing her past work history and her comfort with administering injections, we decided to meet her and see how it went. She stopped by and talked with us and met the pups. She took detailed notes about their needs and medications and we knew within minutes Krystal was the perfect person to watch them. Before leaving on vacation, Krystal came over again and re-met the pups, she completed the medications, blood sugar, insulin and feeding routine while we were there to answer any questions she may have. That gave us even more confidence with leaving. Krystal completed the medication routine with ease and the fact that she cares enough to run through the routine with the owners before they leave speaks volumes to the quality of care she provides. When we were on vacation, we kept in touch about my pups blood sugars and insulin needs, she sent daily photos of our crew and when we got home, our house was perfect and our dogs looked amazing. We also have a naughty cat and Krystal was fabulous with her too! I recommend Krystal to anyone that is looking for someone to watch their animals while they’re away. She provides exceptional care and you can tell Krystal cares for them like they’re her own. Also, I personally know how hard it is to leave your animal when they are medically fragile, but Krystal is 100% competent to care for animals with challenging needs!”

About: I grew up on 5 acres with lots of animals, from dogs to cats, chickens, and even rabbits. 6 years ago, I got my first puppy and now have a lifelong best friend. I'm familiar with simple care routines, as well as advanced care, including complex feeding routines and even insulin shots. I'm currently between jobs, and so I have a very flexible schedule that I can pivot to your needs. I'm excited to provide exactly what you need. I'm excited to provide careful attention and affection to your pets. I'm comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and needs. Specialized care is no problem!
About: I’ve been dog sitting for different families for about two years and have really enjoyed it. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable when their owners are away, so I do my best to keep their routines consistent and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after them, or just spending time with them, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Families have trusted me to care for their dogs, and I take that responsibility seriously. I do work part time, I work full 8 hour days on Thursdays and sometimes Fridays. The other days I work 5-6 hours. I’m usually off around 4:30 or 5 but my start times vary. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special care requirements. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting the client’s home and keeping it clean and secure. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they’re apart
“Brandon stayed with our senior pups for an overnight trip. He was very communicative and sent photos to let us know how our old boys were doing throughout the stay! It was our first time leaving them and I was nervous to do so, but Brandon’s updates put my mind at ease. He followed all our instructions and gave them their medications. When we returned, the dogs were happy and healthy and our house looked great! Looking forward to having Brandon back for a longer stay.”

“Kelley was excellent with our boy Maverick! I was really nervous leaving him and she made us feel at ease. She sent pictures everyday and he was all smiles and having so much fun. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again in the future 😊”

“Kylie did an amazing job watching my girls!! She took good care of them and provided me with updates whenever I wanted and checked in with me on her own (including sending photos). She left my house immaculate (especially being here 2 weeks) and she is incredibly kind and thoughtful! I highly recommend her for others looking for a pet sitter and will definitely request her when I need a pet sitter in the future!”

“Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!”

“Isabella was great caring for our 2 fur babies at our house while we were away. They were well cared for as was the house. She did great at communicating with us with pictures and updates. A+++”

“Karli is so great with my cats! She also keeps the house clean and makes sure their litter box is cleaned as well. She is always on top of things! I will always go to her as my go-to sitter.”

About: In my life I’ve taken care of 3 mid sized dogs as well as around 8 cats. I’m new to the profession pet sitting and care aside from friends and family but I know that for the rest of my life I want to spend time with our animal friends and learn more about them! I have full availability with scheduling. I have transportation to do in house visits but pickup and drop offs might get difficult depending on the size of your dog.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hayes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hayes on Rover is $32.75 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,107 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hayes. 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 Hayes 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 Hayes 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 Hayes 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.
