“Elaine was great with our cat & dog! We will definitely be booking her again in the future. She was great at communicating and sending us daily updates while pet sitting for us.”
“Bryanna was absolutely wonderful with our fur babies! We got updates regularly and lots of photos. We really appreciated that she asked questions when needed instead of assuming or winging it, and she really put the needs of our pets first. We feel confident leaving the fur babies in her hands and we will be rebooking with her very soon!”
“My wife and I love inviting Abigail to our home to watch our 2 dogs. We feel safe, secure, and at ease knowing our dogs are with her when we are away, which has not always been the case with other sitters we have experienced. We are grateful to have her and our dogs enjoy her presence!”
“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”
“Aspen is such a great house sitter! Our pups were well taken care of and given all the overnight cuddles they needed. Thank you so much Aspen for keeping our dogs and our home safe.”
“Lucinda took good care of our adored dog. She stayed at our house for 2 weeks and left our place spotless and with Cherif in very good form. We would rebook her!”
About: I’ve had fosters alongside my own pets my entire life, and couldn’t be more of an animal lover! I have an extra soft spot for seniors. I’m pet CPR & first aid certified, and have extensive experience with special needs pets. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’d love to do a meet and greet with your babies! I promise I will treat them as if they were my own. I make my own hours and am happy to be flexible when needed! Caring for animals is second nature to me, whether simple or complex. I have dependable transportation and don’t mind driving to you. I’m home full time so can also come for multiple walks in a day, or overnights.
About: Hey, I'm Maia and I've been taking care of pets since the age of ten, I love all animals and personally have 3 cats but have also previously had two dachshunds. Throughout the years I've taken care of a multitude of animals from large golden retrievers to small rodents. I'm especially good with shy animals and I'm ready to take all the time it needs for your pet to trust me. No matter the size, age or personality I'm exited to get to know your furry friend and give them to the care they need! I'm currently a student out of state and am available during all brakes. During the summer and all major holidays I'm ready to give your pet my full and undivided attention. I love the outdoors and spend a majority of my time out of school hiking and taking runs thought the neighborhood and nearby nature. I love having company wether that be a friend or a furry pal. My three cats are fully indoors and get most of their energy out by playing with one another or running around the house with me. My yard is fully fenced in and I live in a very walkable neighborhood great for dogs. While I am well experienced with both cats and dogs I love to hear all your personal tips and tricks for your furry friend as you know them best!
“Chanel is the very best and took excellent care of our beloved dog, Ralph. She sent us lots of sweet updates and videos of Ralph during our trip, much to the delight of our children who were missing him greatly. I hope she's always available when we go out of town!”
“Tabitha was kind, caring, and loving of our pets! She was very attentive to their personalities and sent us lots of photos, which we always appreciate when away from home. Would 100% recommend Tabitha to anyone!”
“Xanthia did an amazing job with our pup! She brought her kiddos which were so adorable and they helped her do all the things. She sent photos and provided updates throughout the day. We knew Max was being well taken care of while we were gone. We definitely recommend her and are happy to have found a good sitter, we can rely on!!!”
“We were very happy with Kate. She sent lots of pictures and her and Millie did great together. She followed our written instructions . House was also in perfect order when she left. We will definitely use her in the future and would recommend her to others.”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Archie. While I was enjoying my day with family I had little stress worrying about my pooch since Sara & Braden were taking care of him”
“Mackenzie is great with our dogs. She has stayed in our house and is an excellent house sitter too. We know our boys are getting plenty of love and attention from Mackenzie while we are away.”
“Julia is awesome and truly a miracle worker. My sweet kitty is 7 years old and is petrified of anyone but me. With me she is so lovable. I live in a condo and no one in the complex believes I have a cat. She was adopted 9 months ago so I am not sure of her background. I was gone a week and Julia had her out and about within 36 hours. I got regular updates and pictures during the week. Julia is awesome!!”
“Anastasiya was great! She provided regular, photographic updates and it was obvious Carl was enjoying his time with her. She treated my home as if it were her own. She even cleaned the wet/muddy pawprints off the floors. I will definitely use her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Hoodview is $54
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hoodview
I really appreciated Sky’s attentiveness to all four of our dogs as they each have their own personality. She looked after our 100+ pound Great Pyrenees who has a mind of her own along with our newest to the bunch, a lab/pyrenees 3 month old who was still teething, kennel and potty training. She administered medication as directed and communicated on a regular basis. She also left the house in better shape than I left it - putting away dishes, collecting and taking out the garbage on garbage day (including breaking down all my boxes). There was also a risk that we might have missed our connecting flight and she was willing to be flexible to stay another night right down to the last minute. I highly recommend her services and hope to use her again in the future.
I really appreciated how quickly Kate responded to my messages and coming over for a meet and greet after I reached out. Getting pictures and messages while we were away always made me happy, I knew she was they for them and they were getting attention. Thank you Kate.
At this point, I'm pretty sure my cat likes Xanthia better than he likes me! She was so sweet and playful with him. On top of being great with the cat, she communicates well, is hyper responsible and took great care of our house. So grateful to have found her.
Kinsley watched my two dogs for a few days and was exceptional! I have a senior dog who takes medication and is pretty slow in everything.. (walking, eating) and she is combined with a lively 3-year old who does everything at hyper speed. Kinsley managed to find a rhythm that worked for both. She sent me regular updates and really cared for the dogs. I felt grateful she was with them while I was away. I definitely recommend her!
Emily was great! So communicative with updates - she did a great job sending photos and videos of their time together. Our dog was naughty and got into some flour in the pantry and Emily got it all cleaned up and handled the small issue with ease. Would definitely recommend her and would hire her again if her schedule allows. Thanks for everything, Emily!
This was the first time we have used someone outside the family to watch one of our pets while out of town. Even though Jax is a very sweet dog, he is not a fan of other dogs and this is where Catherine shined. She put our minds at ease by understanding his needs and communicating often. Will definitely use her services again!
I had an emergency hospitalization and I was so thankful that Sal was readily available to come to my home and take care of my two Yorkies! She has a good heart and took great care of my two babies- which put my mind at ease while I was trying to get through my surgical procedure and heal! I would highly recommend her!
I needed a pet sitter on short notice after my regular sitter had to cancel. I was hesitant to use Rover, as I have always had friends or relatives pet sit. I reached out to Kayla after reviewing her profile and positive reviews, and she was very responsive. The meet and greet went very well, and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog and cat in Kayla’s hands while I was on vacation. Kayla was absolutely wonderful!! She stayed at my house to ensure there was no change in routine for my dog and cat. She provided updates with photos, and I was able to enjoy my vacation without having to worry about my dog and cat. My house was spotless when I returned, and I could tell that my dog and cat were well cared for when I was gone. I highly recommend Kayla!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hoodview on Rover is $51.06 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 4,672 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hoodview. 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 Hoodview 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 Hoodview 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 Hoodview 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 Hoodview. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
