About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have never lived in a home without pets. I’ve had four dogs over the years and have cared for many different types of animals since I was a kid. Animals have always been a constant part of my life, not just something I do occasionally. Throughout my life, I’ve also continually volunteered at animal shelters and farms, which has given me hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Currently, I care for a Great Pyrenees and seven cats, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, multi-pet households, and managing different routines and personalities. I take pride in being patient, attentive, and dependable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own while keeping owners informed and at ease. My weekly schedule is finalized the day prior and can vary slightly, but my daily commitments are usually limited to a short portion of the day. This gives me flexibility and availability for consistent pet care. I communicate clearly once my schedule is set so routines are always maintained. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment and follow all care instructions closely. I respect pets’ routines, keep spaces clean and secure, and take a gentle, patient approach—especially with cats or shy pets. I also treat clients’ homes with care and communicate clearly for peace of mind.
“Zach lived up to all the amazing reviews house sitting our two fur babies (Golden doodle and Aussie doodle) for the past 4 nights. We came home to an immaculately clean house with two happy boys. Zach was very detailed throughout the whole process from the initial meet n greet ensuring he knew the ins n outs of their routine, behaviors, likes/dislikes and everything in between. Zach sent multiple picture and videos with updates every day all the way up through the last day. We will absolutely be using Zach for future occasions from walks to house sittings and can’t recommend him enough.”
“Jennifer was excellent - she connected with all 3 of our dogs and kept us constantly updated with photos and videos! As a first time Rover client , I was definitely apprehensive but can honestly say that I am more the comfortable now and would definitely use Jennifer again !”
“Another stress free vacation, because we knew Oreo was in the best hands with Maria! She was amazing communicating with us and sharing photo & video updates. Oreo is spoiled rotten when she’s there.💕 I think he makes her his personal masseuse 🤣, but she also plays his toys with him and did enriching activities to keep our boy’s mind engaged. We totally trust Maria and highly recommend her!”
“Hailey is INCREDIBLE. She was so nice and caring with my pet. She goes the extra mile. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would totally request her services again. Loved her!”

About: I’ve been petting sitting since I was 13 from walking my neighbors dog while they were away for the day to feeding my best friends snake when she went on a 2 week vacation. There aren’t many animals I dislike and always open to taking care of new animals. I currently work in retail with a varying schedule but always off by 6 pm and every other weekend off. Most days I am in a 9-5 role but there are a few days that I open at 6 am. I am open to dog walking, house sitting at home or dropping in multiple times a day. I have multiple cats. I feed them a both wet food and dry food, scoop their litter boxes at least once a day with a once a week clean. I live in a small place, while I am not able to board I will check on your animal multiples times if needed, make sure they get plenty of enrichment and loves.
“Brent stayed at our house for the day and watched our little Chico. He kept us fully informed of Chico with pics and video throughout the day. I highly recommend Brent and would definitely use his services again.”
“Sophia is the best! She’s super nice and sweet, my wife and I love her! She’s punctual, respects our home, great communication, keeps you updated. Our boy Declen felt so comfortable with her. I highly recommend, she has been a life saver for us and will definitely work with again.”
About: I’ve taken care of everything from Great Danes to Shih Tsu and numerous cats. Most of my clients are repeat customers. My passion for animals comes through the way I care for them I work full but my daughter 15 and son 13 after school help me with the pets with whatever it needs to be done. I’m free on the weekends to care for the pets. I live in a 3 floor townhouse. The senior pets stay in the first floor where my bedroom but they are free to go up and down the stairs as they please. The young ones in the second floor where then can run if they please. The pets can sleep on my bed, or around my bedroom or my sofa. I want them comfortable as possible.
“Phoebe was phenomenal! She stayed at our home with our cat and dog while we traveled. Both are animals are older and have several medications, and one has weekly treatments with our veterinarian. Phoebe provided all of their medications and appointments easily. She went above and beyond taking precautions to help protect the pipes from freezing at the house since there was a hard freeze for several days while we were away. Phoebe sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on how our babies were doing while we were away. We returned to a clean home and happy babies. We are so grateful for everything Phoebe did and would absolutely recommend her for any house sitting needs!”
About: While I may not have years of experience like some, my love for animals does not fall short. I have taken care of dogs, big and small. Some with dietary restrictions and rigid feeding routines and others with a more lax regimen. I have house sat/pet sat and stayed in the owner’s home on multiple occasions. I’ve taken care of four dogs of various sizes at once, done drop-ins to feed/change water and let the puppers out for friends and family members, and I’ve also stopped by to do something as simple as a quick walk. Whatever you need, I can do it! I can assure you that I will treat your pet as my own. I currently work full time at a law firm in downtown but I live in Sanford. I have a reliable car and I don’t mind driving. I can pet sit/house sit on weekdays but I have work so it would be morning care and evening/night. I can also take a midday break if needed. I am off on the weekends so I will be able to be there full time. Depending on the owner, I have put pets into their crates when leaving the house or at night for sleeping but I have also let them roam freely, if the owner allows it.
About: I’m experienced with caring for pets of all ages and needs, including senior dogs and pets requiring extra attention. I’m patient, dependable, and always make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for like they’re my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule because I work from home and have the flexibility to create my own hours. This allows me to be available and give pets the time, attention, and care they need. I’m also looking to make a little extra money while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I care for pets by keeping their normal routines, providing plenty of attention, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I focus on following instructions, keeping their space clean, and giving each pet the care and love they’re used to.
“It is a great comfort to know that our Cairn Terrier (Finn) was well taken care of while we were away. I felt completely comfortable leaving Finn with Kaylee. She always goes above and beyond by sending cute pics, getting the mail, and taking the trash out. Kaylee did a wonderful job! Thank you so much!”
About: Hi, I'm excited to care for your furry family members! While I am relatively new to professional pet sitting, I am incredibly responsible, detail-oriented, and passionate about animals. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every pet with the same love and care I would give my own. Because I know how hard it is to be away from your pets, I promise to send you frequent photo updates and clear communication so you never have to worry. I balance two part-time jobs, which means my availability is structured around my work shifts. I am reliably available for early morning visits before work, as well as evenings and weekends for dinner feedings, nighttime potty breaks, and bedtime company. Because my midday hours are fully committed to my other jobs, I specialize in helping owners who need dependable care at the bookends of the day. I will always be completely transparent about my exact shift times so we can coordinate perfectly. Securing Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect. I always double-check that all doors, windows, and gates are securely locked every time I enter or leave your property.Sticking to Your Instructions: I follow your exact, written guidelines for feeding portions, fresh water, and waste cleanup to keep your home tidy and your pet's routine consistent. Alert Walk Safety: During morning or evening walks, I maintain a firm grip on the leash at all times. I stay highly alert to our surroundings and strictly avoid interactions with unfamiliar dogs or people to keep your pet entirely safe.

Peace of Mind Updates: I know how important it is to feel connected to your pet while you are away. I will always send you photos and a quick text update during my visit so you know everything went smoothly.
“We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend this service. Our sitter was professional, communicative, and took outstanding care of our dogs while we were away. We received updates throughout our trip, and it was obvious our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. As an added bonus, our home was left clean and organized when we returned, which was greatly appreciated. It’s not easy leaving your pets behind, but this experience gave us complete peace of mind. We would gladly use this service again and look forward to booking in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and passion for pet care. As a pet parent to 4 dogs and 2 cats, I understand that pets are family and treat every pet as if they were my own. I truly love pet sitting and providing a safe, loving, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I play soccer, and my practices are typically from 9:30–11:30, but I'm available for visits before practice and anytime afterward. I'm flexible and happy to work with your pet's schedule to make sure they receive the care and attention they need! I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my client's home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also make sure to keep owners updated with messages and lots of cute photo updates. I treat every pet as if they were my own and my goal is to always create a safe, caring, and stress-free environment while their family is away.

Camryn was a fantastic dog sitter for my dog, Daisy! She house sat for me for a week while I was traveling, and I came back to an even cleaner apartment than when I had left. Camryn kept me updated with pictures and messages on how Daisy was doing so I didn’t need to stress at all while I was gone!

Aleena truly treated Teddy like her own (he even spent Thanksgiving with her family and helped decorate the Christmas tree)! She was super communicative, sent great updates / pictures throughout his stay and is an absolute GEM of a person. Highly recommend!! We will definitely be asking to work with her again.
We love Heather! If you can’t be there, she is the person you want to take care of your pets. She watched our dogs for 4 nights in our home. She embraced all of their quirks and treated them as if they were her own pets. She communicated regularly via text. She even sent some videos, and got some great pictures of our pups. We are looking forward to more trips since we’ve found a great sitter for the girls!

FAQs for House Sitting - Heathrow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Heathrow on Rover is $55.5 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 2,956 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Heathrow. 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 Heathrow 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 Heathrow 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 Heathrow 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 Heathrow. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
