About: I work/ have been working at a doggy daycare for over a year now, and I’ve been near dogs my whole life. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and would love the chance to spend time with your pup! I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of time to spend with your baby. We will have so much fun together! No matter what type of dog you have i promise we will have a great time 😁 I am a very active sitter, we will mostly spend the day playing with toys (until hes tired) then we’ll eat and watch a show, obviously taking potty breaks when needed.
“Griselle was great with our two senior dogs they seemed to be comfortable with her. She sent updates and pictures of them and lets us know how they were eating which is always a problem when we leave but they seemed to do pretty well with Griselle.”
“Angel is Amazing!! Arrived early, very responsive, very loving and caring with my dogs and cats! We are so lucky to have found her on Rover! We will definitely rebook with her. Super impressed with her knowledge of dog behaviors and really appreciate her flexibility. Highly recommend!! Thanks again!!!!”
About: I've trained dogs my whole life! Love teaching them and creating a safe and loving environment for both you and them, it brings me joy I currently work at a school with special needs kids! I'm off at 2pm, from there on i spend my time training furry friends . I have a fenced house! 2 pets that will accompany your pet. I train them from behaviors to attention to making sure they are safe
About: I’ve handled most animals. I’ve handled elderly. I’ve handled all arrangements of cats. I’m very much an animal lover and caregiver. Cats and dogs you name it. I love to keep my animals company give them comfort that they are in a loving home that treats them as they are superiors and class elites. I treat them my cat as superior and they typically are the ones monitoring and securing most if not all property management consultation and bookkeeping.
“Joshua arrived when promised and took good care of our 2 dogs. They both liked him immediately, which was a feat as our larger 90 lb dog doesn't take to people quickly. House was left spotless and all was well!”
“Isabel is an absolute gem!! She sat with our spoiled pups all day and they loved her! She is a great communicator, reliable and most importantly, it’s obvious she loves dogs! I will definitely hire Isabel again and highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that, I have an infinite amount of patience with pets, I often come off overly professional as far as training within the skills I have, lastly, why dog, puppy, cat, or kitten doesn’t need more love in their life? I don’t have any schedule restrictions. I have an entirely open schedule so feel free to book whenever you need. Home most of the time. How I care for pets in my clients home is making sure some type of physical activity occurs to ensure excellent physical health, as well as proper meal times (meal preps). Letting the clients pet do at least something that they find joy in (of course, something safe and harmless).
“Elle was terrific! We needed care for our 2 dogs while we were gone to wedding. She came over and met us and the dogs ahead of time. The dogs loved her right off. She has a caring personality and they loved that... One of our dogs is a senior diabetic that needs shots. Elly was more than willing to handle that as well as the pills they needed. She sent lots of pictures and notes about how it was going. Everything went well and we plan to request her in the near future. So glad to have someone that we trust with their care.”
“Thanks again for taking such good care of my animals. It’s nice to know I can trust her to take care of them when I go out of town. Angellee even dealt with an ant attack while I was gone.”
“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.”
“Jill is the most professional loving care giver I could have ever hired for my boys. She's walked them and stayed in my home overnigh and has blended well into my family. Most important, she's trust worthy and she sends photos so I dont worry about my boys when I'm away. I recommend her highly!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life varying different sizes. Friends and neighbors have asked me in the past to watch over their dogs. I'm currently working part time, I'm available on weekends and Friday mornings to watch your pups! They will get lots of head scratches and play time. I have 3 dogs at home that get walked by me every night. I will walk and spend as much time with your dogs as needed. Safety is my number one priority.

In a clients home, I am respectful of their space, I am able to provide care that is more comfortable in their home.
“There aren’t enough words to describe how great our experience with Fabienne was. She watched our dog, Louie, for 6 nights over the Christmas holiday. The peace of mind we felt, knowing our dog was being well cared for, was invaluable! From the very beginning, Fabienne was excellent at communicating with us and always responded promptly. She came early on our departure day to ensure a smooth transition. We received daily updates and photos. Honestly, I’m going to miss talking to Fabienne daily! We will absolutely be hiring her for future dog sitting. So grateful to have found such a caring and trusted dog sitter! Fabienne is incredible!”
About: I've loved dogs since I was little, being around animals makes me the happiest. I have 2 of my own and they are spoiled with love everyday.

I take a mile run with my big dog and a mile walk with my small dog everyday I have a fenced in yard and a Yorkie that adores his cousin husky mix like no other. They play all day and sleep in my room as well so
“Nika was amazing. She stayed at our home for over a week and took great care of our two dogs. She was responsive the entire time and gave us updates that helped us relax while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and a house that was spotless. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. Highly recommend.”
“Lauren was amazing! She cared for our home and 2 furbabies like her own. I was completely at ease while on vacation knowing my home and babies were in loving care. Would definitely recommend Lauren to all my family and friends!!!”

Clarisse did such an amazing job as I knew she would, taking great care of my senior special needs Charlie today! Thank you again for keeping him safe and comfy and staying with him today so I can have a birthday out 🥰🙏🏻 Am always comfy knowing you are at home watching over him so he doesn’t miss us too much and his needs are well taken care of. He always loves having you around, Charlie loves you! Thanks again!
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.
Ann took incredible care of my two big dogs, a husky and Bernese Mountain Dog. I’m a very protective dog mom and it was hard finding a new sitter in a new area but Ann put my mind at ease with wonderful stories highlighting adventures of the day with photos, was very attentive and even started running my husky so she could settle. I can’t say enough good things. 10/10 recommend!
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!!
Natalie is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our little guy as well as our home. We received daily updates and photos that put our mind at ease. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you for loving on our guy. We appreciate it so much!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Home Gardens is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

- 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.
