“Lindsey was amazing with our dogs and she took great care of our house during her stay. She provided some training and reported their progress to me. The house looked the exact same as I left it (she left no mess behind). She washed the sheets on the bed and remade the bed. She cleaned all towels that she used and folded them for me. She was quick to respond every time I messaged her. I highly recommend Lindsey for any pet sitting or house sitting. You will not be disappointed.”
About: I have been an owner of many animals! I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and farm animals. I am an animal lover and enjoy spending time with them.

I have an open and flexible schedule and can work with pet owners about their needs and schedules. I can accommodate and adapt to your family’s routine and will build on the household’s established needs to create a structured, consistent environment for your pet.

“Heather was an amazing house sitter for my 2 dogs. One is an older dog and another a 7 month rambunctious puppy. She was able to relate to each and provided equal attention. I was especially concerned because I had never been away from my puppy but she provided reassurance with lots of hugs and letting him frolic in the yard along with his older brother! I received multiple daily updates and she was even able to do a few dog lessons! I can’t say enough about Heather and will absolutely book her again!”

“We happily had Laurie spend a long weekend with our 2 dogs at our house and everything was great! She sent lots of photos of the dogs and they seemed very much like they enjoyed themselves. She even got my picky dog to eat. Respectful with the house and we returned to happy dogs and a clean house.”
“Our little old man, who has seemed anxious after we've left him with some dog-sitters in the past, seemed calm and well cared for when we got home. Emelyn promptly sent an update every time I requested one and left our home very neat. She even emptied and refilled the dishwasher and watered the plants on the back porch. I would definitely recommend Emelyn!”
“McKayla did wonderful with my chows! She was attentive with all 3 and careful to keep the two females apart since they do not get along. She kept them on their feeding schedule and on their potty schedule and won Simba over immediately! I will definitely reach out to McKayla in the future when I need a sitter! Highly recommended!”
“Alexia was absolutely wonderful with our 2 pups and I am so glad we booked with her! She stayed with our pups all day and did an amazing job! Our older golden just had ACL surgery so she was great with taking extra care of him! Our younger golden has a lot of energy and she did great at keeping him entertained and happy. We will definitely be booking again! It was so great to be able to go away for the day and know our pups were happy and very well cared for!”
“Oksana and her daughter were amazing doggie and house sitters. They took very good care of our pup and also the house. I appreciated how clean they left everything and all the pics they sent. Lucy loved them!”
“This is my second time using Lauren for in-home overnight stays for my two (very spoiled) Schnauzers. I could not be happier! I felt so comfortable after the first stay that I didnt hesitate booking a weekend getaway. You will not be disappointed!”
“What a great experience with MK. Both Quincy and I were anxious but she was patient with him and very responsive with me. Would definitely recommend her and look to have her take care of Quincy in the future.”
“Day is phenomenal! She’s such a wonderful person and you can tell instantly how much she loves animals. She took the time to get to know our 4 dogs and even learned their quirks and built up trust with them. By the end of the weekend our Cattle dog was in love with her. He was very disappointed when it was us who came through the door and not Day. 🤣 Thank you so much Day for your care and kindness with our dogs. We even learned a lot from you! We will definitely apply your tips to our training routine right away. We will definitely call when we need a sitter again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hedgesville on Rover is $37.45 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 659 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hedgesville. 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 Hedgesville 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 Hedgesville 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 Hedgesville 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.

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.
