“I can’t say enough good things about Robbyn. Jackson immediately connected with her, and he was more relaxed than I’ve ever seen him for a high energy puppy. She kept the place spotless, communicated regularly, and sent plenty of photos so I always knew he was doing well. I’m truly grateful for the care she provided, and I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Kelly was exactly who we needed! Our one pup is hesitant with new people but Kelly was able to come and meet her before hand. Our pup took to her immediately - so we knew she was in good hands.”
“Absolutely amazing! I was out of the country for an extended time (over two weeks), and was kept updated with daily texts & pics to keep my mind at ease. My two pitties have a very specific routine and must be kept separated, and they were able to keep everything smooth & easy the whole time. My dogs LOVED them, and they're very tidy & respectful houseguests. I fully trust them with my dogs and in my home, and will 1000% be hiring them again!”
“Erin was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with to set up the booking, asked plenty of questions to make sure Diablo and I were taken care of, and sent me picture and video updates of them enjoying each other's company. If possible, I will book her again in the future!”
“Hannah is awesome! Booked short notice and she took wonderful care of my 2 year old lab . Very communicative and sent lots of updated and photos. Highly recommend.”
“Dianna was available when we had a last minute change of plans to leave town for the holiday weekend. She responded immediately and scheduled a meet and greet within 24 hours. She was responsive, checked in multiple times, and sent pictures of our fur babies throughout the weekend.”
“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.”
“Benjamin and Vincent were AWESOME with my absolute weirdo of a fur kid. Phoebe is a rescue with some trauma in her past, so it usually takes her a long time to warm up to new people. The first day she met Benjamin and Vincent, she was a bit standoffish and nervous, but they were SO patient with her and fully understood dog body language and got down on her level and let her approach at her own pace. By the first night, Benjamin had already sent pics of Phoebe snuggling with Vincent, and she was snuggling with BOTH of them and even bringing them her Pig (her most treasured toy that only her besties get to lay a hand on 😂). I would recommend Benjamin and his husband Vincent to anyone, but most especially to anyone with a Nervous Nellie type dog. These guys are SO compassionate and sweet, and my dog picked up on that right away. I had complete peace of mind with her in their care! Thank you both!!”
“Whitney did a great job with taking care of our dogs! She communicated a few times each day and sent pictures while we were out out town. It gave us peace of mind having someone at our house to keep our dogs in their own home. Thank you for house sitting! We will definitely book her again for our next trip.”
“Alexa was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to meet our babies beforehand since they can be a little extra at times, and they immediately felt comfortable and at ease with her. She kept us updated with several pictures, and her communication throughout was excellent. Most importantly, our babies were truly loved and cared for while we were away. We also just moved into a new home from out of state, and many of our belongings — including our couch — still haven’t arrived. We always want our sitters to feel as comfortable as possible, and Alexa was incredibly understanding and kind about our situation, which gave me such peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Alexa, and I know our babies will be in great hands when we book with her again!”

“I’m a first time rover user. I was really nervous about the idea my dogs & home in the care of a stranger, but Christine didn’t disappoint! She took great care of my pups and I will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Robert spent a weekend caring for our fur babies. We had a meet and greet prior to his stay and he did a thorough assessment of our animals needs to make sure he provided top notch care. Over the weekend he sent pictures and updates. I knew my fur babies were well-taken care of.”
About: I’m not just a sitter I’m your pet’s calm, cozy, reliable home‑away‑from‑home. I specialize in creating a soft, stress‑free environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. I communicate clearly, respect your routines, and treat every animal like family. Your pet gets comfort, consistency, and genuine care—not just supervision. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life as a cat mom. Every day includes feeding, fresh water, litter care, enrichment, and calm bonding time — so adding your pet into my routine feels seamless. I’m used to managing structured play sessions, keeping environments clean, and maintaining consistent routines. Weekly, I plan enrichment activities, rotate toys, and make time for extra grooming or deep cleaning. In my client’s home, I follow your pet’s routines exactly to keep their environment familiar, comfortable, and stress‑free. I provide attentive care—feeding, walks or playtime, litter or potty upkeep, and gentle companionship—while keeping your space tidy and your pet feeling completely secure.
“Miranda was such a huge help for staying with my 3 rowdy dogs when I went on a weekend trip. She provided AMPLE photos (which I loved), was so understanding with my anxiety about leaving them, and provided great updates. She was also quick to respond when I texted her to check in & most importantly, made sure my epileptic one got his meds on time. My dogs LOVED her, they looked so happy in the photos & when I would check my yard camera, they loved the playtime, snuggles & all of the attention they received. I will 100% be using Miranda for future bookings, and I would encourage any other pet parent to do the same!”
“Felicia was amazing! We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you for everything. We’ll be in touch for another upcoming trip we’ll need your services for!”
About: I have been around dogs for most of my life. I had two wonderful dogs (a black lab and a Pomeranian) growing up. My family reaches out to me and my wife to look after their pets when they are out town. I enjoy the companionship that pets bring so expect for them to receive unconditional care. I currently work full time at the shipyard and am available after 2 pm for boarding, walking, sitting etc. My wife is a nurse and her schedule sometimes allows her to be home during the day to be able to walk and spend some quality with your family members that you have entrusted us with. We are available on weekends for boarding. While my boarding only says available during the weekend. Again, my wife is sometimes off during the week so there may be some availability there as well. Just reach out and we can figure something out. I have a fenced in backyard as well as two dog parks within walking distance. They are brand new with one for large dogs and one for small dogs. My wife and I enjoy exercise so walks can be often if that’s what your pet needs. We can crate if/when needed. You would just need to provide the crate. We keep up with feeding times and habits as you request. Anything extra that is needed to ensure your pets most comfortable experience is our pleasure.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hobson
Let's put it this way: my cats, who are sweet, followed Ashlee around like SHE was their owner. Ashlee did an amazing job loving on my boys, handling their medications (we have two cats with asthma, one with arthritis). She kept the house neat, watered the plants and fed the birds, and tolerate my anxious need for daily updates and photos to the point where I was actually able to crawl into bed on vacation only to realize I hadn't fretted over them because I knew they were happy and in good hands. I've never had my boys take to someone else SO well and SO quickly. Cats are finicky creatures, so when they approve, it means something. The meet and greet with D and Ash went amazing and I was instantly comfortable and they were both so kind and gentle and compassionate and really I cannot say enough good things. It was like entrusting my babies to a good friend. I am excited to have been introduced to them and look forward to using them in the future. Thank you guys so much for being such a breath of fresh air and for being so reliable. You rock.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hobson on Rover is $31.03 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 1,412 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hobson. 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 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 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
