About: Always available, any time, and any circumstance! Lived and cared for animals for many years. I'll take care of your babies always and with love! I am in school part-time so I will be available every day of the week including weekends. Unfortunately some days later than others. With advance notice I should be able to help always!! I treat any pet I watch and take care of as if they were my own. I am gentle and will bring positivity in your space!
“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!!!!”
“Mahasin was wonderful to work with. She has great communication, showed up when she said she would, and left my home in beautiful condition. My dog was cared for and happy when I got home and pictures she sent told me he was doing well while I was away. I would recommend her without hesitation and would happily use her in the future.”
“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.”
About: I've been helping care for all kinds of pets since I was 7 years old. I have many family and friends who rely on me to take care of their animals while they're away, and I've never shied away from the task. Whether it be a great dane or sphynx, I've always been able to connect with animals. I'm a college student taking the time to focus on my education, so I'll have plenty of free time to hang out with and take care of your pet! I do most of my work online, so your baby won't ever be lonely and can have my full attention!! I have plenty of free time to spend with your pet, and can take them out for walks as needed. Play is a given, and I'll always ensure that your animal is fed, comfortable, and well taken care of.
“Mackenzie was an amazing sitter for Dixie. She was very attentive and made sure Dixie felt right at home with her. I received updates and pictures throughout the night and in the AM. I would recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive and loving dog sitter. Dixie definitely found her new cuddle buddy 🥰”
“Ann took amazing care of our pup while we were away for a week. We loved getting the updates and never had to worry! When we arrived home, we could tell he was relaxed and extremely well taken care of!”
“Joseline is so kind and sweet and was very quick to respond to messages both before and during her “play date” with Buddy. Looking forward to having her house/puppy sit over the holidays!”
About: I've helped take care of both family pets and friends' pets since I was 13! I love animals of all sizes and am not afraid to step out of my comfort zone and learn something new for their benefit. I'm willing to take on the challenges of senior pets and new ones as well :) My schedule is currently very flexible, so I'm willing to work with what you have! I also don't mind driving a bit of a distance, as long as I have enough of a heads up :) I will defer to whatever you and your pets prefer- whether that's more kennel time or more time outside! I enjoy spending time with dogs and cats in all ways, whether it's keeping them company on the couch, cleaning up after them, or just keeping a close eye if they're shy and prefer to keep to themselves :)
About: I'm Brittany, I have worked professionally with dogs for about 8 years. I started out working at a daycare and boarding facility, providing all sorts of services to pet owners and more recently 5+ years with a mobile dog grooming business. I've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am confident there are no dogs I cannot handle. I have a lot of knowledge of dog behavior and cues that will allow us to be safe at all times. For now I am committing my extra time to caring for others’ dogs while I pay my way through school. I have lots of energy and stamina to go on long walks as well as short ones, depending on your dog's needs. And I’m excited for the opportunity to meet some more friendly faces! I'm currently going back to school but I have a lot of down time as well. I would love to spend some of it with your pets! I cannot house any pets in my own home but am more than capable of coming to yours to either watch your dog throughout the day or take them out for some fresh air.
“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 ♥️?”
“Isabel did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! She was diligent, communicative, caring snd so kind. I truly appreciated her quick responses and photo and video updates. I will definitely reach out to her again and recommend her for anyone looking for someone responsible to take care of their pet. Thank you, Isabel!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 8 years old and I’ve helped take care of family and friends dogs while they are on vacation I’m currently working part time and right now I’m pretty flexible and have open availability. So I’ll have plenty of time to play with, care for and take your baby on walks. I’m available to drop in for a quick visit with your pet which includes walks and playtime. Or if you prefer I can also house sit, so your baby will never be alone whichever you prefer.
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 median cost per night for house sitting in Home Gardens is $63

Summer helped us day sit our girl while I was away on a work conference for a couple days and while my hubby had 12 hour days. We felt soo assured that our fur baby wouldn’t feel that absence because Summer really gives her with so much attention, and love! She sent pics of all the fun play time and cozy time. I can tell our fur baby is feeling content and loved with Summer! Thank you!
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!!
Sarah was absolutely amazing. She cared for our pups Bella and Luna so well, played with them, cuddled, and kept them company while we were away. I was so worried before we left because Bella and Luna generally are never separated from us, but Sarah really made sure they were loved and truly cared for. When we came back it was as if we never left! The dogs were so happy. Thank you Sarah for your kindness and care for our dogs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Home Gardens
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Home Gardens on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,297 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Home Gardens. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
