“Jazmin was a lifesaver with helping watch my dog pretty last minute! She was communicative and reliable and sent lots of pics. She followed instructions carefully and was very caring with my pup who is recovering post knee surgery. Would happily have Jazmin help with watching Kyubi again, thank you!”
“Robyn was great! Timely, responsive and sent picture updates. It is always a relief to know you can trust someone to watch your fur babies when you have to travel or if something comes up.”
“I have booked with Felicia three times now, and she has consistently provided a great experience. What stands out most is her attention to detail; she asks a lot of questions upfront to make sure she fully understands my dog's routine and comfort levels. It’s clear she wants to get everything exactly right, which gives me a lot of peace of mind while I'm away. She is reliable, communicative, and truly cares about the well being of the animals in her care. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone thorough and attentive!”
“Kim has been amazing throughout my time away from my dogs. Kept them on their schedule, made adjustments when my travel plans unfortunately got changed. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”
About: Been taking care of great Danes and their litters for 4 years now and have always had big dogs in my life as well as owned my own cats for a while but generally do mostly enjoy cats! Tuesdays Thursdays and most Monday are completely free days for me! If my schedule does free up of course I'm open to making some errangements Very patient with any kind of animal and always have a plan for when the animals needs its freedom or when it's time to hold back
“Anna was awesome!! She was professional and she definitely knows how to interact with animals. She was great with our dogs Yoda and Marvin and she sent us photos and videos which kept us at ease as well. She is very trustworthy and we will definitely be using her for future housesitting visits!!”
“We left the country for 19 days and left behind our 5 adult cats, which broke my heart because they’re my children, and I would never forgive myself if something happened to them. So it was really hard for me to leave them alone... Such a huge mental challenge that was made so much easier by Kaylee’s care, patience and attention to detail. She’s young but admirably responsible. I left so many instructions printed with pictures explaining everything about their personalities, preferences and routines that I’m sure it was overwhelming, but she was absolutely amazing and did exactly what I asked. I think she understood that I was anxious, worried and sad about leaving them alone, so she sent me pictures of each of the 5 cats every single day during those 19 days we were away from home, which I’m sure must have been a big challenge because they hid from her and my house is big, a two story house... But I needed to be sure they were all alive and okay, and she went the extra mile looking for them and taking pictures every single day for me. And because of that, she scored many points! I’m so glad we found her because it’s been so hard to find a reliable cat sitter nowadays. As soon as we got home, I could see how tidy everything was and how much care she had taken with every detail I had explained about their food, water and bowls, as well as all the cat litter boxes in the house. From now on, I don’t want anyone else taking care of my cats but her. 🙏🏻❤️”
“Lillian was fantastic and I would definitely book her again. She came and stayed at the house with my dog and sent regular updates with photos. Any concerns she had, she reached out. Thanks for doing a great job Lillian!”
“Kadence was amazing!!! From the moment she came over for the Meet & Greet, my pups were relaxed and up on her lap (which normally takes some time with new people). Kadence stayed in great communication with me and sent pics of my babies, which helps with someone like me that has anxiety when leaving them. My house was cleaned up and I came home to happy, well cared for pups. Thank you Kadence for making me at ease during my trip!!!”
About: Hi! I’m Kyla! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I even volunteered at an animal shelter when I was younger, and I’ve spent about 6 years caring for dogs. I also worked at a veterinary office for a few years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have such a huge soft spot for animals because they really are the sweetest and most misunderstood babies EVEEEERRRR! 😂❤️ I’m patient, gentle, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a good walk, playtime, cuddles, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. They’ll get plenty of love, attention, and probably way too many compliments from me! 🐶💕 I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your fur babies the attention they deserve! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I’ll always make sure I have enough time to give your pet a proper visit instead of rushing in and out. 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! I’m very patient and attentive, and I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for a walk. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, and anything else are secure, and I’ll keep you updated so you know your baby is safe and happy. I treat every pet like they’re my own! 🐶🐱💕
About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them all of my life. As a kid, my family always had at least one dog, usually two to four dogs. I have experience with several breeds and am comfortable and good with all dogs. We have had dogs of several different breeds ranging from Rottweilers to Treeing Walkers to German Shepherds to Chorkies to Beagles. I currently have a Pit Bull. I am currently active duty military. I work Monday through Friday during the day, and sometimes weekend days. I also leave for training exercises sometimes, and would not be available at all during those times. As a general rule, I am home from 5 pm to 7am during the week and for the whole weekend. Boarding: I live in a studio apartment with my pit bull (he has a crate that he can be put in at night, or I could put your dog in the crate at night if you prefer). I do not have a yard, but there is a fenced-in dog park across the street. Sitting: whatever notes you leave for me is how I’ll do things! :)
“Sara stepped in at the last minute when the dogsitter I had originally booked had to cancel the day before I was scheduled to leave. She was GREAT with two of my dogs, and although I had already made plans for my third, human-selective dog for that weekend, Phoebe surprised me by deciding Sara was a new favorite-human at the meet-and-greet for her two sisters, so I went ahead and booked Sara for this upcoming weekend, as well! I highly recommend Sara! She treated my pups like her own and provided pupdates with pictures, as well. They had a blast with her!”

Ashley took care of my cat and dog while I was dealing with a family emergency out of town. My cat has diabetes and my dog has pretty serious separation anxiety. While I was away, my cat had to see a vet for a stomach issue. Ashley kept me updated the whole time and put my worries at ease. My pets warmed up to Ashley and DeHaven pretty quickly upon first meeting them. They are good people. Highly recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in Hobson is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $39 per night.

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 Hobson 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 Hobson 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 Hobson 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
