“We booked Joshua pretty last minute to house/dog sit for us over Christmas week, and we could not have asked for a better experience. He took exceptional care of our dog, Haru... sending tons of photos and updates throughout the day, every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Haru was truly loved and well cared for. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house. He vacuumed, stripped the bed, and cleaned the counters -- such a thoughtful and appreciated touch after traveling. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your dog (and your home) with care, attention, and kindness.”
“Our pups absolutely LOVED Reagan. We were always kept up to date with lots of pictures and videos of our fur babies. Communication was great and will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Robin is by far the best sitter I’ve ever worked with. She is incredibly detail oriented and followed my 4+ pages of instructions for my two cats, and went above and beyond to really bond with them. I got regular updates and never worried for a single second, I knew they were in the best of hands. Robin truly has a skill with and love for cats and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing care. I am the type to worry when I leave my cats, and Robin soothed any concern I had, and I had a worry free vacation like I had so needed. Robin truly cares for the cats and their owners alike. She went above and beyond to change their litter and cleaned my apartment at the end. It’s something I’d never ask, but when you come home from a long day of travel, that clean apartment is the best thing to come home to. Words cannot express enough just how wonderful she is and how good she is at pet sitting. I can tell my cats already miss her, and I’m so excited for us all for when she cares for them next- without a doubt she is our new regular sitter, we all love her so much!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Tara housesat for me over 4 days. She came over to meet my Amstaff, Zoey, before booking. I really appreciated that time to get to know Tara a little, since I have never left Zoey with someone I don't know—and she is a 12-year-old dog that needs to go out to pee often. Throughout the stay, she sent photos and thoughtful updates, which was comforting to see/know that Zoey was in good hands. I came home to a happy dog and the house was left clean and tidy. I absolutely trust Tara with Zoey and my home—and will definitely book with her again!”
“Kyle was awesome – he took great care of our dog Maya and gave plenty of updates. He also dealt with some unexpected issues with our home, and even helped coordinate building maintenance to start on repairs. We'll absolutely use Kyle as a sitter again.”
“You can tell Kadyah has a true love for dogs by the care she gives them. I had her house sit my puppy and literally had so much peace of mind due to her frequent check in and updates on how he was doing. I highly recommend anyone to book with her. She did a fantastic job with meeting the many needs my puppy had. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Lenny is wonderful! Upon her 1st visit all the animals including the cats that usually hide from strangers were investigating her. She took great care of everyone - our cats and our dogs. She even did wash animals bowls and the dishes we left in the sink in a rush to leave. Everyone seem to be very happy. She sent a ton of photos and asked questions! Cannot recommend enough!”
“Tara was amazing, as usual. She took excellent care of my two little boys. One of them is recovering from knee surgery and needed extra time and attention. I wouldn’t have been comfortable leaving him with anyone else. Tara was great with him, while still giving my other little one lots of time and attention, too. She sent lots and lots of pictures of them - which I love.”
“Christina did a fantastic job watching our dogs. She frequently sent us updates on the dogs and photos, which put our minds at ease. She stopped by the next day to drop off our keys, and the dogs were so excited to see her which reconfirmed that they had a great time with her. We will definitely use her again.”
“Jessica was great! My cat is not a fan of well… anyone and Jessica was so patient with her. I also got lots of pic mail. She also left the house VERY clean. Thank you, Jessica!”
About: I have several years of experiencing caring for dogs and cats. I worked at an animal hospital for 10 years. I am able to administer meds and injections if needed. I feel comfortable with puppies and elderly pets. I take pride in providing great care to pets while their owners are away. I enjoy what I do and I always keep the owners in the loop when looking after their fur babies. I am very flexible and I understanding and I usually find a good accommodation to the pets needs. I treat each pet like if they were my own. I have a very clean home. I do not use kennels unless one is provided to me for a particular reasons. I have a dog of my own and I take great care of him so I’ll take great care of yours! My schedule works around his schedule I have a pet camera to check in on them when I’m not home. I ensure there are no open lids to trash cans or anything that they could get into. All toys I have are safe for dogs
“Very responsive, asks good questions and is flexible and very loving to my senior babies. My normally kiddish pup immediately engaged with her and was at ease. Thank you so much for caring for my babes!”
About: I have taken care of friends, colleagues and neighbors pets over the past 20 years. Some of my residents would not trust their pets to anyone else (so I was told). Pet care would fit into my daily or weekly routine just nicely at this time. I was laid off recently and what better ways to spend my days than with animals. I have two big dogs and a cat but my daughter lives with me so I can come and care for your pets in your home while my pets are taken care of by my daughter.
“Kaylie was absolutely wonderful with our dog and cats and they clearly loved her. She also sent wonderful updates and photos throughout our trip. Her communication was amazing both before and during our trip. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I am not your average sitter, I have a lot of time on my hands to help you and your fur babies any time of day. I do not speak English but I am dedicated to work and help others around me. I am retired and have a lot of time on my hands. I am available every day of the week just let me know when you need me. I am willing to travel to you home and I will make sure to take care of your fur babies and your home as well.
“Giselle was absolutely wonderful with our dog Bean. We have a senior dog, she’s 15 years old and Giselle was so great and patient with her! Treated Bean like her own dog! Glad we found Giselle and would recommend her to anyone!(:”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hayfield
Rei did a great job with our German Shepherd McKinley. She stayed at our house with the dog for about 5 days and sent us plenty of updates while we were away. Our pup is getting older and takes a couple of medications and supplements, which Rei very carefully administered. Our dog was super calm and happy when we got home and the house was in great shape-- Rei had totally cleaned up after herself. We would happily book her again in the future!
Tatiana took amazing care of Knox. He is a puppy and this was my first time leaving him at just 4 mos old. I had to attend a family wedding and I was able to go and fully enjoy myself knowing Knox was in good hands. Tatiana sent photos and updates multiple times a day and took Knox on many walks and played with him. I think he was a little disappointed when I came home😂 I highly Tatiana as she is a true animal lover and will leave your home tidy upon your return!
Eric took great care of our pups while we were out of town. He was very attuned to how our dogs were feeling, especially our nervous girl, and worked to make them comfortable. He’s very organized and really cares about the dogs he’s caring for. Eric was also understanding of some maintenance issues at our apartment and gracious enough to work around it. Highly recommend!
Isabela is an absolute five-star pet sitter! From start to finish, her communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, keeping me updated with regular photos and notes throughout the stay. Her genuine compassion and gentle approach with the dogs gave me complete peace of mind while away, and her professionalism was evident in how respectfully and responsibly she cared for both my pets and my home. I returned to happy, relaxed pups and everything in perfect order. I cannot recommend Isabela highly enough and will definitely be booking with her again!
Jason was absolutely exceptional! We were away for a week, and he took amazing care of our dogs. We came home to two very happy pups and a house left in perfect condition. He consistently sent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He was also a great communicator and always kept us informed of any issues or concerns. It’s clear that Jason genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We 100% plan to use him again! 10/10 recommend — your pets will be in the best hands with Jason!
Kaiya was amazing with my 2 dogs. She stayed in our home and made sure they felt comfortable with her and gave them an endless supply of belly rubs, pats, and attention which I know they loved. We would definitely have her and Charles take care of our pups again.
Ellie is an excellent pet sitter. My furry babies especially Minnie was happy with her. Charlie was not too happy that we left him alone LOL. We were more worried about Minnie being doesn’t get along with strangers but she was perfectly fine with Ellie. She send us the picture Minnie lying down next to her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hayfield is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $88 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.

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 Hayfield 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 Hayfield 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 Hayfield 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.

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.
