“Caitlyn is absolutely amazing!! She has been working for months with my fear based reactive dog on building a relationship together through weekly trainings. Caitlyn is patient, trained in dog behavior and training tactics, very reliable, and willing to do anything to build trust with dogs. Now a days my dog Roxy and Caitlyn go on walks by themselves (huge victory for Roxy with anyone that is not her parents), my husband and I was able to take a vacation a full airplane ride away (first time we both got to go on a vacation together in three years since getting Roxy), and Roxy has gotten so much better with strangers in general due to her relationship with Caitlyn. I have recommended Caitlyn to my family and friends (she took care of my moms cats as well while taking care of Roxy since we all went on the same vacation) because she is trustworthy, reliable, great communicator, great trainer, kind human, and a hard worker. I can’t say enough about how awesome Caitlyn is!!”
“Jocelyn was great to work with! I especially appreciated coordinating a meet and greet before our trip and her excellent communication. The animals seemed to enjoy their time with her and everything was in order when we returned.”
“He was amazing with our dog. It was the first time we’d been out of town for an extended time and we came back to a very happy dog. Elias was in constant contact an took care of our home like it was his.”
“Jackie did a great job for us housesitting our dog and cat for a week while we were traveling—she even washed the sheets before we came home! We would definitely recommend her.”
“Jennifer has stayed with my Puggle, Toulouse, twice now in our home and I plan to request her again in the future. She is responsive when I reach out and she sends daily updates of how he’s doing. Toulouse is comfortable with Jennifer and loves playing tug of war with her (a great sign)! When I’ve returned home my place is just as good as I left it and my boy is happy. I couldn’t ask for more. I whole heartedly recommend Jennifer!”
“Honestly Nick and Nazzy the best sitters we have had on Rover—would recommend super highly to anyone who wants to leave their pet pals in good hands! We have an anxious dog and an asthmatic cat, so not the easiest pets, but Nick and Nazzy always take such good care of them. They send tons of pics and videos and kept us up to date on all the happenings! Super kind and considerate folks who go above and beyond in their care of the pets and the home!!”
“Amanda was absolutely excellent! She communicated throughout our stay if there were any questions or issues. We came home to a clean house and happy pups so I would definitely recommend her to others to house sit and take care of their dogs! We already have her booked for our next trip. Thanks so much Amanda for taking such good care of our babies 🥰🥰”
“Thanks, once again, Carla, for taking care of our home and the excellent care of Little Bear. It’s was so relaxing to know that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It made our trip so much more fun. 🤩”
“Tierra provided excellent care for our 14 month old mini dachshund who is a velcro pup! I will definitely want to book Tierra again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“We love when Anna Lee stays with our pups! She is so attentive to their habits and needs, and they have clearly claimed her as part of their pack! She takes excellent care of our home, leaving it as good (if not better) than when we left. It's such a gift to be able to get away and not worry about our "krds" or home!”
“Rachel was amazing. We contacted her day of so it was pretty short notice and she made herself available and was on time. She was kind and patient and caring. Otis adored her. She has a lot of experience and knowledge. I felt totally comfortable with her in our home and would absolutely ask her to dog sit for us again. Ty Rachel!”
“Wini helped us tremendously on short notice. She was very considerate of our older dog's anxiety. I would highly recommend Wini to anyone needing an in-home sitter. Our two dogs were happy and looking well when we returned.”
“Chloe arrived with a big smile and Kuma was taking a walk, when he got close to her he gave the once over and gave his approval. They both got along well. We appreciate Chloe making the time to sit with Kuma giving us the opportunity to meet up with friends and a cruise. If ever in the area again we would certainly book her again! Thank You Chloe!”
About: I’ve been pet and house sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for 10 years now. I have had dogs of my own, and I currently live with two lovely golden retrievers. I enjoy helping others in this way by alleviating stress and making sure their pet(s) are well cared for while they’re away! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of time with your pets! I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays before 10am for a morning walk, and Wednesdays-Fridays any time for walks, play and quality time. Im available for pet and house sitting weekdays and weekends! When you provide the details of your pet’s routine, I’ll make sure they will be well cared for, and the routine consistent! They’ll get lots of active time and attention.
“I can't say enough how much I appreciate and love Ashten & Shelby! They did amazing with my pup as always and even earned some kitty cuddles which is very rare for my cats when they're around strangers. as an employee of Rover, this is the experience i hope for all Rover users”

Natalie was absolutely fantastic with our dog Auggie while we were gone for 2 weeks! She took great care of the house and spent so much time with the dog, I don’t think he missed us at all haha. We will absolutely be calling Natalie the next time we go out of town!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hayford on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 693 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hayford. 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 Hayford 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 Hayford 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 Hayford 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hayford. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
