Maddi came through for us once again! She was an amazing dog sitter for Kaiser, providing him with chew toys to keep him busy on a rainy day. And when a stomach bug kept us out of town overnight, Maddi graciously agreed to drop in for an extra day! She added the extra fee through Rover, making it easy for us to pay! We were grateful for Maddi in our time of need! She is so great, thank you Maddi!

Andrea is absolutely amazing! We have a fairly big farm with lots of different animals. She took great care of everyone and made sure they had everything they needed and more. We’ve already booked her for our next two trips away from the farm. Thank you, Andrea!

About: I am a mom to 4 high-energy medium/large breed dogs. I am no stranger to cleaning up accidents, administering medications, handling pets with reactivity, and fulfilling exercise such as playing fetch, tug, flirt pole, long walks, brain stimulation (keeping up with training/commands) or simply snuggling if your baby is low activity. I have been a self-employed residential cleaner for over 8 years and create my own schedule allowing me the flexibility to care for your pets and mine! I am so grateful for all my clients who trust me to help take care of their home and I am hoping to build trust with pet parents as I would love to transition into pet care full time as it has always been what I am most passionate about. While I do have four dogs of my own, I am able to keep your dogs separate from mine at all times if requested and or necessary when boarding. I built my dogs their own apartment behind our house fully equipped with heat, ac, a bed, and doggie door leading to a fenced in area so your dog(s) does not have to be dog friendly and we are also child free so your dog can be the only baby in our home the duration of their stay! But if you would like for your dog(s) to have a playdate and a doggie daycare style stay that can be arranged as well!

Jennifer is amazing! Our dogs loved her and were noticeably calm and content when we got home. She spent so much time with them and really gave them lots of love and attention. They need medications and have a very detailed routine and Jennifer did everything they needed with no issues or concerns. Thank you so much! She is our favorite sitter now! 🙏

About: I've taken care of dogs for about 5 years now. I have most of my experience from my own dog, but I've spent plenty of time around family and friends pets to know I can take care of both small and large dogs. I already do walks and runs with my own dog, so getting in some extra exercise with your pet is just fine! I'm currently a college student, so my schedule is a little wonky sometimes. I can do morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins on your pet during the weekday, and and free all day on weekends. I currently have more time in the mornings and evenings for any extra care your pet might need. It really depends on what kind of job I'm doing. If I'm doing a drop in, I'll make sure to give the pet attention (if they're around) while I'm cleaning up and feeding them, and will stick around to give them some play time. If I'm staying at the home, I'll usually be in an open area where they can relax and come to me if they want to play, while making sure they get taken out regularly. I'll usually be doing college work, so my break is their play time.

About: I've taken care of animals wether they're mine or someone else's for as long as I can remember. I love spending time with animals and taking care of them. I communicate everything to make sure your pets are safe and happy! 🥰 My schedule is very flexible and I know our pets are happiest when their routine stays consistent, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and low-stress experience in your home. I follow feeding instructions carefully, keep litter areas clean, clean up accidents in case your pets get anxious when your away, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe and happy. I treat every pet and animal like my own and respect their individual personalities, space and routine. Whether your pets are playful, shy, or independent, I provide patient care, attention, fresh food and water, litter maintenance, and updates/photos while you’re away. Between dogs, cats, reptiles, farm animals and even the little guys like hamsters and fish.

Thor house sat our two dogs while we took an extended trip. His communication was excellent and the dogs were very well cared for and loved. He even provided “report cards” on each dog which were both adorable and helpful. I would definitely use him again and give an enthusiastic recommendation to anyone!!

I would definitely have Tara take care of our dog again. She kept us well informed of how our dog was behaving and thankfully our dog was good! Our dog seemed very happy and content when we arrived Home which made us think she had a good time with Tara! The house was neat and tidy also. I would certainly recommend her services.

About: I have hands-on experience raising my own dog, Bentley, who is just over a year old. Taking care of him has taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog’s needs at every stage. We spend a lot of time going on walks, playing ball, and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very comfortable keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy. What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for every animal I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, good at reading behavior, and I always take the time to build trust with each pet so they can relax and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog, Bentley. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily include additional pets and give them the same level of care, time, and consistency. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, no matter where they are. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and sleep so they feel at ease, and I always supervise playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for their pet. I pay attention to behavior, make sure they’re secure at all times, and give them lots of love and attention. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

Morgan did a fantastic job while my husband and I had to leave the state to attend a family emergency. We have a 3 year old husky and 2 year old lab both full of energy. She sent us pictures of how the boys were doing as well as letting us know when our husky was getting a lil separation anxiety and not really eating. Our lab was on 2 medications and Morgan made sure our lab was staying on track and when our lab ran out of salami to hide the pills in she had purchased some with her own money to make sure he was okay. 1000% recommend and in the future will definitely look to see if she is available.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.

About: I'm a remote voice actor with a flexible schedule, so your pets get lots of companionship—not just quick drop-ins. As a longtime homeowner and property manager, I also understand the importance of keeping your home clean, secure, and well cared for. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, including energetic breeds, senior pets, multi-pet households, and pets with unique routines. I'm comfortable with crate training, positive reinforcement, basic medications, and dogs that need a little extra patience on walks. Whether it's a long hike, a game of fetch, or a quiet afternoon with a cuddly cat, I adapt to each pet's personality and routine. Clear communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates and photos while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your pets and home are in great hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely as a voice actor, so I have the flexibility to schedule walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day rather than trying to fit them around a traditional office schedule. I genuinely enjoy being active, so daily walks, hikes, and outdoor time are something I look forward to. When I'm home, I like providing a calm, consistent environment where pets can stick to their normal routines and get plenty of attention and companionship. Whether it's a quick neighborhood walk, a game of fetch, or simply keeping a cat company while I work, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medications (if needed), and any training or household guidelines you provide. I believe pets are happiest when their daily routine stays consistent. Since I work remotely, I'm home much of the day, giving pets plenty of companionship and reducing the amount of time they're left alone. Whether it's long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping a cat company while I work, I adjust my care to each pet's personality and needs. I also treat every home with the same respect I would my own—keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets and home are in good hands.

About: Hello, my name is selma and I am currently a mom to two energetic, loving, adventurous kittens. We like to stay home, cuddle and watch movies. I also worked at a wildlife rehabilitation center, so i have handled wild/ exotic animals and able to administer medications if needed. Having previously worked at a pet shelter, I have extensive experience with a wide range of dogs, from small teacup breeds to large lap dogs, enabling me to confidently handle the diverse personalities and sizes of your beloved pets. Whether it's embarking on long hikes or leisurely strolls in the park, I am flexible and eager to cater to your furry companions' needs. As someone who cherishes outdoor activities and staying active, integrating pet care seamlessly into my daily routine is not just a task but a joy. My availability and adaptability ensure that your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve, all while allowing me to indulge in my love for outdoor adventures. In both my own home and my clients' homes, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment for pets. This includes ensuring they have access to clean water, nutritious food, and a comfortable resting area. Depending on the specific needs of the pet and the service offered, I tailor my care routine accordingly. This can involve regular feeding schedules, administering medication if needed, engaging in playtime and exercise sessions, and providing plenty of affection and attention. Additionally, I maintain open communication with pet owners to ensure their preferences and expectations are met, guaranteeing a seamless and satisfying experience for both pets and their owners.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hertford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Hertford on Rover is $44.4 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 50 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hertford. 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 Hertford 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 Hertford 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 Hertford 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
