“We are so grateful for Savannah! We are new to the area and needed to travel. Savannah set up a meet and greet and immediately got on the ground and have our senior pup lots of love and pets. Our dogs health took a turn with major mobility issues just before Savannah's stay and Savannah didn’t hesitate. She stayed by her side and treated her with comfort and care even in really difficult situations. She communicated with me regularly and sent pictures. The house was exactly as we had left it when we returned. She definitely gets 5 stars!”

“Chiara was absolutely awesome! She exceeded my expectations and took such good care of ember and bjoern! She took the dog on a lot of fun adventures and was able to administer the cat’s medicine, which isn’t the easiest! She sent multiple updates daily which is so appreciated. She also left the house in great condition. Will definitely hire again!”

About: I have cared for animals my whole life! I currently have one cat but have had dogs cats, and turtles. I am very attentive. I try to communicate with each animal on their level. It's important to me that they feel heard. Whether they're trying to show me something that interests them, or worries them. I am always watching and listening.

“Once again Tania was absolutely amazing. We have a very spoiled, special needs cat and Tania always follows all of our instructions and requests with a smile. We also have a lot of plants that need attention - during a heat wave while we were gone she ensured everything was watered and still green when we returned. We can go on vacation and truly relax knowing our fur baby and our home is in good hands.”
“Pat stayed with our 2 kitties for a long weekend and we could not have been happier with her service. We have a huge book of instructions both for our cats (with rather complicated feedings, meds and various foods etc...), and for the house itself. She was glad to have the guidebook and managed to have a very relaxing time. The cats warmed up to her more than any other sitter we've had in the recent past. When we returned home the house was just as we left it and our kitties were totally relaxed. We will definitely be looking to hire her again!”
“Kelly was a fantastic sitter for my fur baby Onyx! She was in regular communication, sent lots of pics and kept me updated as necessary. Onyx was well taken care of and Kelly was loving, patient and kind with her. She worked with me on crazy changes to my flight schedule and even offered to stay late which I really appreciated. She left my house clean and fresh and was a pleasure to work with. She is reliable and a great communicator. She even checked on Onyx the day after my return. I’d definitely have Kelly again and am already trying to book her for a future date. Thank you Kelly for taking such great care of Onyx, for being so loving with her and for being willing to work with me on all levels!”
“Michaela was absolutely wonderful with our pups and home! We will absolutely be using her again. She was very responsible and did exactly what we needed her to. We arrived home to happy healthy dogs and couldn’t be happier!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Haystack
Mallorie came and took care of my Bangal kitten , who is still a lot of work. He is rowdy and busy. She did an amazing job keeping me in the loop at all times. She is thoughtful, caring , clean and organized. I was gone for 2 weeks and I felt so good knowing she and her partner where there with Cash. I would totally recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter. My house was spotless when I came home. Thank you Mallorie and Sofia.
Erin sat for my two dogs, Mazie and Ruby. Prior to that she did some home visits. Erin is very conscientious. She asks great questions and took wonderful care of my dogs while I was out of town. she’s also a great communicator and sent me text updates and photos Daly. I would definitely recommend Erin and we’ll book her again in the future.
Alister was a wonderful sitter for my cat George! We had the opportunity to meet up before the sit began and he quickly established a rapport with my cat. He was great at keeping me apprised of how he and George were doing. I know from how happy my cat was upon my return that they both had a great visit. I cannot recommend Alister highly enough and look forward to working with them again!
Savannah was fabulous! She loved and cared for home and kitties with such care, respect and attention. We loved getting updated stories and pictures, and came home to relaxed cats! What a difference. We are so glad we found her and she comes with our highest recommendations. She's a good human too.
Kathy was awesome. Scheduling was smooth and easy -- she is a great communicator and has a mellow demeanor. Most importantly, she did an awesome job with my dog. She took great care of her every day that I was gone, and the house was immaculate when I came home. I highly recommend!
We couldn't recommend David highly enough as a pet owner. Our dog Toby absolutely loved him, which always makes us happy when we go out of town. David is excellent at communication and very responsive. We will definitely be using David again in the future. We feel lucky to have found him.
Nessa took excellent care of Rocco while I was away and gave me tremendous peace of mind throughout the trip. She was communicative, responsible, and clearly cared about his well-being. I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that Rocco was comfortable and happy with her. What I especially appreciated was her professionalism and responsiveness. Whenever I had a question, she addressed it immediately and thoughtfully. She was receptive to feedback and consistently put Rocco’s needs first. I came home to a happy, healthy dog and a well-cared-for house, which is exactly what every pet owner hopes for. Nessa was reliable, trustworthy, and easy to work with from start to finish. I would absolutely book her again and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.
Mallory was a wonderful and caring sitter for our dog. She was warm and friendly from our first meeting and followed instructions well. Our dog had an upset stomach and vomited while she was sitting, but she was so nice to launder the soiled blanket, and wasn't phased at all. We got text updates while away, which was greatly appreciated. She really likes animals and it shows, and our dog made a new friend! I would definitely recommend Mallory, and I hope to hire her again.
I'm very impressed with the Sophia and the care she gave my pets while sitting. I will definitely be using her again. She watched over my cat Riley and my dog Lia. They both warmed up to her quickly. My dog does not normally do that. After the first night Lia warmed up to her and they became friends. Sophia always stayed in touch and sent plenty of photos for me to see how they were doing. She left my house clean and neat. I highly recomend Sophia to anyone who is looking for a conifdent, respectful, caring pet sitter.
Sherry was wonderful! My pup is not easy, yet Sherry was cool and calm and managed him in spite of all his rambunctiousness. She sent me daily photos, administered his meds, and kept him happily entertained and even tried teaching him some basic commands. My house was left in pristine condition. She was responsible, professional and caring. I highly recommend Sherry!
Alex went above and beyond in caring for our kitties! He played with our menace of a kitten to the point he was snuggling and sleepy (which is a large task) and had our incredibly timid cat eating consistently while we were gone. He sent thorough updates with adorable pictures and left our home in pristine condition. We couldn’t recommend Alex more for other pet owners and will be using his services in the future. He is communicative, thoughtful, follows directions explicitly, and we felt completely at ease with him caring for not only our cats but our home.

The average cost of House Sitting in Haystack is $62 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $107 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 Haystack 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 Haystack 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Haystack 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
