“Genesis was excellent! Great communication, kept us updated, and took great care of our pets. Our home was clean and well-maintained when we returned. Highly recommend!”
“Sydney was very good and reliable. She communicated with me well. One of my dogs is very skittish with new people and he warmed right up to her. I’d definitely use her again on the future.”
About: I've grown up around dogs and cats of all sizes, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I currently have two sweet medium-sized dogs—Money, who's almost 10, and Cash, our playful 1.5-year-old. With years of hands-on experience, I'm well-tuned to the signs of hunger, potty needs, and everything in between—so accidents are never an issue! I'm currently in school, so Tuesdays and Thursdays tend to be my busiest days. However, I’m very flexible the rest of the week and available for check-ins, walks, or staying with your fur babies! I’d love to give them the same love and attention I give my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or play preferences. I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether it's cuddles on the couch, games of fetch, or just keeping them company, I aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Plus, I’m always happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're gone!
“Winnie absolutely loved having Lori sit with her for the weekend! She sent pictures and videos to update and left a bag of treats for her! 🥹 Will definitely be rebooking, thank you for taking care of my baby 💘”
About: I have had dogs since 2013. I had three, I currently have two. One of them had epilepsy, this gave me experience with seizures and administering medicine. I also worked at a doggy day care for 1 year, there I cared for large groups of dogs. We fed them, changed out water 4-5 times a day, picked up after them and played with them. I'm knowledgeable about dog behavior and how to avoid situations that would be harmful. I know to test the pavement heat before a walk on hot days. I'm currently seeking steady employment but am wanting to make this my steady job. I'm available during the week from six am to 5 pm I'm currently unable to pet sit in my home. I'm more than happy to pet sit in the dogs/cats home that makes the pets more comfortable as well since it's not a strange house with strange smells. I'm more than happy to drop in or stay for awhile. I enjoy taking walks and it's always good to have a friend (your pet) with me.
About: My family was against the idea of animals in the house. Instead I was the neighborhood animal caregiver! I still would like to thank my neighbors for trusting me with their animals. Thanks to them I have a love for animals that are out of this world! The way they can tell you boundaries and what they want without any words is amazing. And it is our job as humans to read the body language. Since I have 2 cats at home, I would want the people caring for my animals to treat them well and with respect. So I shall do the same for your fur babies! I currently work at a restaurant downtown and I will be starting school again in the Spring! But I am available most days of the week! Please look at my availability and message me if you have any questions and I would love to work something out with you! I live in an apartment but we do have a small dog park! I would prefer to take care of your fur babies at your residence but I could also (if you would like) take them to a dog park, trail, or something like that! I know dogs love a change in scenery and love to sniff things along the way! Please let me know what YOU as their owner feels comfortable with!
“Could not have asked for a better person to watch Copper. She was very kind, active with walks and play, sent updates every day with pictures. Full recommend for anyone needing help with dog sitting.”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with our cats while we were away. She sent great pictures of our fur babies and communicated with me throughout the day. She answered all my questions to make sure I felt comfortable. Highly recommend.”
“Gwen is the best! Our dogs love her. They are so joyful when she is with them. Gwen has dog sat for us twice and both times we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our fur-babies were in good hands. We highly recommend Gwen. ❤️”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and creating a calm, safe environment. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail so your pets feel secure and you feel confident while you’re away. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I naturally build it into my everyday routine. I make time each day for walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to keep pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal schedule. I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care as my own, creating a calm, secure environment for your pets. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines to home preferences—and make sure doors, gates, and safety measures are always properly secured. I’m attentive, dependable, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pets and home are in good hands.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 15 years now, when I was a kid the pets were my responsibility, including loving, feeding, walking, washing, etc. Pets have always been a part of my life and always will be! I currently work rotating swing shift my schedule right now for the first full week of the month Friday - Monday 6:30 pm to 6:30 am Off Tuesday - Thursday Friday - Sunday 6:30 am to 6:30 pm Off Monday Tuesday - Thursday 6:30 pm to 6:30 am Off Friday to Sunday Monday - Thursday 6:30 am to 6:30 pm Off Friday to the following Friday During these times I can visit your pet when I get off work and as I’m going in, plus I will use my breaks to visit your pet as they are a hour long so I typically have the time to give your pets the care they need I won’t be taking any pets in my home, but to ensure your babies safety and comfort, I will feed them and water them, after they’ve eaten and are ready to go outside for a potty break I will walk them if needed or take them into your backyard and let them do their business, and will clean up after your pet. Once they’re done I will play with them enough to tire them out so they have a nice long nap before I return to visit them again :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Hephzibah
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hephzibah on Rover is $27.75 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 301 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hephzibah. 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 Hephzibah 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 Hephzibah 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 Hephzibah 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 Hephzibah. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
