“Lauren was so kind and went up to our dogs right away to greet them and get to know them. She sent us photos and updates while we were away. We would definitely use her again!”
“Becky did absolutely amazing as a house and dog sitter. She was always in touch and our babies were in love with her. What was really amazing is that she must have a magic touch. Our doggie took to her just about right away and our youngest cat who nobody who is taken care of her has ever seen came out and said hi. For these reasons, I would highly recommend her. The house was in good shape and I felt comfortable and secure having her take care of everything for us. I’m new to this app however I would say if you see her name, then look no further. She is the best.”
“Amazing experience with Tiffany! She literally saved our week. At the last minute our regular dog sitter was unable to come, so I reached out to Tiffany (based on her previous great reviews). I think she heard the panic in my voice and reassured me that she could help out! She stopped in later that evening for a meet and greet. Totally put my mind at ease. Her visit included mother’s day and she rearranged her time with her family to be able to accomodate us! House looked great when we came home and Lucy very happy. Would highly recommend Tiffany!🐾”
“Sydney was amazing with my dogs. She kept in contact with me while she was watching them and sent me so many pictures! So friendly and great communication. I would love to have her back to watch them anytime!!”
“Brittany is clearly an expert when it comes to pet sitting. She took such great care of my dog Eddie, was quick to respond, and even took the time to clean the place before she left! It brought me such peace of mind to know Eddie was in such good hands!”
“Bayleigh did a great job watching my furry babies. She communicated regularly and sent pictures. I appreciate seeing pics while I am away as I miss my pets, so her pics helped ease my mind. Her calm demeanor helped encourage my shy cat to come out and socialize. That says a lot about Bayleigh. :-) We all look forward to using Bayleigh again in the future.”
“Sydney was great with my older dog. My pup was having health issues and she was thoughtful and communicative. She also left my home I. Excellent condition. I will certainly be calling her again!”
About: I have had dogs all throughout my childhood, and whether it’s small pups or big fluffy ones, I love them all! I also love the outdoors and being active. I am currently a student and I have a lot of free time with only one job working Saturday evenings. I commonly go to the gym in the late morning but I am available mostly every day! I offer pet sitting at your own home, along with stop ins and dog walking, keeping your pet cared for and comfortable! I will carefully follow provided instructions for your pets needs.
“Isabella was amazing! She went above and beyond with our pets. I enjoyed receiving daily updates and pictures. When I got home, the house was clean, the animals were very happy and very well taken care of. Isabella definitely went the extra mile. I absolutely recommend her.!!”
“Zandra took great care of our two pups while we were out of town for a few days. Communication was excellent, and she helped further, without us asking, when our friend didn’t arrive on time to get the pups.”
About: We have had dogs all of our life and truly love being around them. We often dog sit for our family and friends, so we experienced with pups of all sizes and personalities. Caring for dogs feels natural to us, and we treat every pet like they are our own. We currently are working as a swim coaches, so our availability is very flexible throughout all days of the week. We can make most times work and would love to hangout with your pup! We have a medium size dog who is very energetic and loves to play. Our pup is not kennel sleep trained but can easily put on up! We have a huge backyard where he goes out and plays and runs.
“Marlaina took wonderful care of our girl yet again! There were bad storms and fireworks while we were away, and she comforted Merry throughout all of it, making sure she felt safe.”
“Jaden watched our 2 dogs this week, one of which is 1 year old with endless energy. He did an excellent job of taking care of our girls, even singing to and celebrating our older girls 7th birthday. Would definitely recommend.”
“Allyson did an amazing job taking care of Moo Moo for us while we were away. I gave her a lot of advanced warning about Moo Moo not being friendly with other dogs and she followed the proper protocol necessary in order to keep Moo Moo safe. Allyson also left the house in the same condition we left it in. We would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“I had the pleasure of having Macey stay in my home for nine days to take care of my two cats. The older one has a soft food feeding schedule, and the younger one demands incessant pets. Macey was more than capable of keeping them fed, pet, and entertained in my absence. 5 out of 5 stars, would recommend.”
“Hannah was great with Jax, our 7 year old greyhound. She took great care as she sat with him at our home for two nights. Already looking to book for for a week for our family vacation next month!”
“Hanna gave our kitten the attention she needed, as well as the piece of mind we needed leaving the young kitten home the first time. Our kitten is accustomed to lots of social and play time, Hanna did a great job!”
“Onn is amazing, very sweet and thoughtful with my two littles. She took great care of them and I’m pretty sure the house is cleaner than I left it! Wonderful sitter for us! Gold star service for sure!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Hogestown is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hogestown
We had a great experience with Haley. Communication was excellent from start to finish — she responded quickly and was always easy to get ahold of if we needed anything. She kept us updated with pictures while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, our pets were clearly well cared for and in great hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Taylor was a last minute lifesaver because I accidentally booked the wrong dates with our regular in home dog sitter. Outside of this, Taylor did an awesome job with our three rambunctious dogs, sent updates with pictures and even vacuumed before she left. We can’t wait to rebook with Taylor!
Lila was great! She stayed at our house with our 3 dogs for about a week while we were away. The dogs were well taken care of. We have an elderly dog with mobility issues and Lila was able to help her get up. She left the house very tidy and even offered to do drop in visits after our flight was unexpectedly cancelled. Will use again!
How is this instead? This was our first time using the Rover app and we were so grateful to find Karen!! She was extremely responsive during for our week away from our dogs. Returning home our flight was delayed 3 times for being back and she was very supportive and understanding in taking care of the dogs. Our kiddos were very well taken care of and hit it off with Karen right away. Karen is very knowledgeable and trustworthy in taking care of the dogs in our home. We highly recommend Karen and she will be our go to next time we need any kind of dog services!!!
Elizabeth was extremely reliable and concerned for our dog’s welfare. She followed her medication regimen as closely as Wrigley made possible, and sought clarification when necessary. She was friendly and pleasant to work with. We would definitely recommend her and book her again.
Christie took good care of our two pups while we were out of town celebrating Thanksgiving with our family. One of our dogs is suffering from a medical condition and Christie administered scheduled medication and physically assisted our little guy up and down the stairs. Christie sent pictures each day and the doggies were well taken care of.
Brianna is a very caring, understanding, and experienced dog person and was a fantastic housesitter/caregiver to our two furbabies. One is a senior with failing eyesight and who is taking some medications, and she was very conscientious to all of his needs. The other is much younger with more energy, and Brianna spent lots of time cuddling and playing her favorite games with her. She made sure they were well fed, followed their routines and accommodated their individual habits around the clock, really treating them like her own. She sent many updates and photos, and I had complete confidence and trust that our pups were safe and having a great time with someone who cared for them like family.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hogestown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hogestown on Rover is $58.28 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 678 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hogestown. 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 Hogestown 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 Hogestown 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 Hogestown 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.
