“Can I give 10/5 stars?! Sarah and her sweet corgi, Hattie, dog- and house-sat for us this past week. Hattie settled in with our husky and mini dachshund quickly and they looked like happy sisters in every photo we got from Sarah while we were away! 💗 Both of our girls are looking for Hattie still this morning, so I know they had a great week together! Sarah took great care of our home - it’s cleaner now than when we left. We’re looking forward to having Sarah care for our fur babies every time we need to be away in the future. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!”
“Natalee did a great job and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we returned. I mean, as "relaxed" as these two get, anyway. They seemed to enjoy their time with her very much! We felt they were perfectly safe in her care.”
“I was very happy to have Michele care for my dog & cat. She clearly has a passion for animals, and they benefitted from her loving energy. Communicating with Michele was easy, she was very responsive, and proactive with any questions or concerns. I will definitely call on Michele again the next time I travel!”
About: Hello! I’m Emma! I am a student at ISU. I love all animals and have a cat named Danny. I have worked as a veterinary assistant and have had both cats and dogs my whole life. I am new to Rover and pet sitting, but have more than enough experience with all animals from small critters to farm animals. I am a current student at ISU, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I am also usually around on weekends to stop by for a walk, feeding, or some quick play time. I am comfortable administering medication, feeding, and will love and respect your pet. I have had several animals with health issues whether it be FIV, paralysis, or whatever else and I want to make sure you’re comfortable having a sitter that understands the potential need for extra care!
“Kyleigh was amazing! I’m a first-time Rover user, and she made the whole process so easy by answering all my questions and guiding me through everything. She took wonderful care of Coco and sent me updates that truly brightened my day! Kyleigh was respectful of both my home and Coco, and she wasn’t afraid to ask questions when needed. She even went above and beyond by being flexible and staying an extra day for me. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone — she did a fantastic job!”
“Best sitter we ever had. Our furry loved ones were in great hands. She gave us lots of updates and pictures. She made our pets feel loved and safe. We will definitely keep using her.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was around 10 years old, and for the past year I’ve consistently dog walked and dog sat for multiple families. I’ve also had my own dog for 7 years, so I understand the daily care, attention, and responsibility pets need. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I always make sure each dog gets the exercise, routine, and care they deserve. Whether it’s long walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m a part-time dog walker and student, looking to fill my summer with wagging tails, fresh air, and more furry adventures! I have lots of free time during the week, so I’m very flexible. The pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow any given instructions and take time to build trust with every pet. I keep their water fresh, clean up any messes, and make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable at all times.
About: I have have a dog or two my whole life and worked in a doggy daycare for 3 years which gave me experience with many dogs and grooming and how to provide . I am a college student and work a part-time job typically from 4 to either 8 or 9ish, I am free all the rest of the day to check and take care of your dogs. I have two dogs of my own both very friendly and haves enough space in my home and around the yard for taking care of pups.
“Meghan is the best! Took care of 2 little Shih Tzus plus our cat for 5 days in our home. Stayed in contact with me throughout the 5 days. Very dependable, pets well cared for, home is immaculate. Highly recommend!”
About: i have taken care of several breeds of dogs from the bichon’s to mastiffs! I have a beagle/shar pei mix who is 12 years old and a pit bull who is 2. We have 4 cats and I am an animal lover through and through! i am a stay at home mom of 2 and so my availability is open typically very flexible!. Up until now I have done this strictly in after work/school hours, but now have much more availability and hope to be able to branch out to more families! I will always respect the home of my client and their animals. We will go over any wants and needs and you don’t have to worry about anything else while you are gone! I am a Rover user myself and understand how important it is to feel stress free and in good hands when you are gone.
About: Everyone starts somewhere! While I do not have any paid pet experience yet, I’m eager to earn your trust through reliable communication, careful attention to your pets needs, and a genuine love for animals. I had a furry friend of my own for 13 years. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your routine and your pets individual needs. Your pets comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow care instructions, maintain your pets normal routine, and provide plenty of attention, play, and affection.
About: I know how to deal with multiple dogs at the same time, as I’ve always had two at the same time. Walks, playtime, feeding, whatever it may be, I can do it. I can walk dogs after I get home from work. I’m very active and I try to get my steps in everyday. I looked forward to seeing my dogs when I was at school. I clean up after them. Dogs don’t need constant attention, so I give them space when they need it. But I’m always willing to play with them and give them butt pats haha

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 221 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hudson. 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 Hudson 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 Hudson 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 Hudson 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.
