“Kae is very responsible, commutative, and respectful!! She was a blessing to have take care of my Bentley. It was short notice. I’m so glad that she was available. I will definitely book again when needed.”
About: I have been taking care and training my dogs since a young age. I have also watched many types of dogs for a couple of years now I take my dog to exercise and work with him twice a day and i take him for pee breaks also when it is warmer so he doesn’t have such a long break. I do a lot of mental work due to his breed and make sure i feed him the correct food and treats to keep him healthy. I make sure they are comfortable with me and make sure i can care and take care of them as much as possible. I will and have never stepped over an animals boundary and due to the way my dog is i am very careful with dogs and understanding of what owners and my self needs with dogs
“The best dog sitter in town. He took care of our pup Cash. And sent updates and pictures throughout the day. Our pup had fun. Process was easy. Gave us peace of mind. Would 100% book again! Thanks Jeremy!!! He even gave our pup a new plush dog toy”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life everything from farm animals to of course dogs and cats. I’ve always had a great ability to befriend and understand friends dogs and cats as well as those around my neighborhood. While I am very tall (6’5) most animals quickly see through my height and realize I am not a threat to them in any way. I work from home and set my own schedule so I can be there to take care of your pets whenever they need it day or night! I have a great ability to read most animals expressions both subtle and direct and I’m happy to do whatever is needed for them to feel safe protected and loved
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals ever since I was a child. I’ve only ever had a dog but cats hold a special place in my heart. Outside of my regular job I am a professional wrestler so no job is too big and no task too small lol. I am a very patient and easy going person so if you ever need to extend a trip or push back/cancel no worries, just let me know and we can work something out. But with that being said hopefully you will trust me to take care of all of your furry little children. I’m currently working as a Noon Supervisor for an elementary school and have free time after I get off. My shift at the school ends at 2 and after that I’m free for the entire day except for Monday and Wednesdays. Outside of work I am a professional wrestler and on Mondays and Wednesdays I have training which I usually leave around 5:15 pm and I don’t get back until around 10:50-11:15 pm, but besides that I am as free as a bird. I myself have a dog and have been taking care of her over the last 5 years. From grooming to cleaning poop I’ve done it all so there’s not much I can’t do.
“Summer was awesome. She sent pics regularly of our pups and wasn’t bugged by this fur mamas constant requests. She left the house spotless and even took sheets off the bed and folded them. Can’t wait to use her again ♥️?”
“Yu Jie was absolutely awesome, especially being available for me on such short notice. She pampered my bundle of joy, Spirit, by taking him on multiple walks, playing with him, and keeping him entertained. With all his energy, she made sure he stayed active and happy. She also made sure he ate at his appropriate time, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. Yu Jie went above and beyond, by not just meeting his needs, but making him feel loved. She is welcoming, kind, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. I will definitely continue to trust her with my Spirit and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to take care of their furry babies.”
“Paris was great with our dogs. She stayed at our house and left it as clean as it was when we left. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures. Would definitely use her again.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have a dog and two cats of my own, and over the years I’ve fostered both puppies and kittens. I also previously worked at a dog kennel connected to a veterinary facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, including young animals, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention and love I give my own. I have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime and lots of love and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow their normal routine and your instructions closely, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I’m patient, attentive and understand that every pet has their own personality, needs and comfort level.
About: I have owned 7 pets in my life: dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, etc. My love for animals has always been abundant so no temperament or special needs will stray me away from your pet! Rest assured they will be loved and cared for in my hands. I am currently working part-time at a horse farm in the morning and evening and have school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. With my flexible schedule, I am looking more ways to spend time with animals. I can discipline your pet if needed. On the opposite side, I can be the best friend to your pet! Any special instructions you give me as I enter your home will be done thoroughly.
“Brooke took great care of Zumi I’m grateful for her coming to sit with him while I was out. She sent photo updates throughout the day. I will book again.”
“Myles was an great house sitter and companion for my 3-year-old Boxer, Layla. Layla, who was recently rescued, is still working on her trust issues, but by the second day, she was following him everywhere. Myles is polite, kind, and reliable. I’d love for him to look after Layla again.”
“Erika did an amazing job taking care of our dog. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Great communication, very reliable, and our dog came back happy and relaxed. We felt completely comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Home Gardens
Clarisse is wonderful! She’s dependable, thoughtful, and always takes such great care of Franklin. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands while we’re away. She’s easy to communicate with, attentive to his needs, and genuinely cares about his well-being. We’re so grateful to have someone we can trust and would absolutely recommend her!
Rozi was a truly kind and caring soul who took wonderful care of our Mickey boy. She followed his medication schedule and all of our instructions. He is a special needs dog but she was very capable and professional. She kept me updated the whole time and I felt very at ease. We will definitely use her again in the future and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for care for their fur babies. ❤️
This young woman is what anyone would hope for when leaving your pet at home. She will be your pets best friend almost immediately. When you leave your home she provides constant reassurance that your pet is safe and comfortable through texts and photos. And she will leave your home looking as good or better than you left it. Her personality of sure confidence will leaves you comfortable at first meeting. I cannot give her a high enough recommendation. She represents the best that Life has to offer in memorable experiences. It is as if you hired a highly trained military person to guard and protect your animals and property. I just hope to meet her Mother someday just to say, thank you for raising such a wonderful genuine person.
Leaving my dog home during trips is difficult for me and I’m always a bit worried not just for my very anxious dog, but for the sitter in her care (it’s not for the weak). I appreciate how much attention to detail Jennifer requests and takes into consideration. With my dog being more needy and requiring medication, I can trust that Jennifer is able to handle my baby’s quirks with care, patience, and expertise. Thank you for caring for Ella and keeping her as comfortable and calm as possible during my time away!
It was our first time with pet sitter and we were very nervous. But when we met Heather first time, we instantly knew she was the right person to take care of our kitties. She is well organized, took thorough notes. She shared lots of pictures and took very good care of our cats.
Yanely was amazing! Our original sitter canceled before our week long vacation and Yanely stepped in just a few weeks before. She did great with our high maintenance dog (picky eater, reactive towards other dogs on walks) and our low maintenance cat. We will 100% be booking her again in the future 😊. Thank you!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Home Gardens is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 6,117 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Home Gardens. 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 Home Gardens 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 Home Gardens 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 Home Gardens 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Home Gardens. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
