Katherine did an excellent job. She covered all of the items on our lenghty list of to dos and what to do. She understands our mature dog and cat. We felt so comfortable getting to know her and leaving her at our home.! She salted for details on items. She is calm and asks great questions and We felt so comfortable with her.

We absolutely loved having Norah stay with our pup! She was very communicative, very thorough and our house looked cleaner than when we left when we got home! Lots of pictures and updates as well, which we loved. We can't wait to have Norah watch our pup again!

Emily spent two weeks at our house with our three dogs and loved them like they were her own. We requested daily photo updates and she obliged with more than 150 pics during our time abroad. She had to help us process the unexpected loss of one of our pups during this time and was an absolute godsend to us. We would recommend her 1000 times over.

Kaitlin was awesome! Our two big dogs loved hanging out with her and we were grateful that she was available to watch them all week. It's really nice knowing that your pets are well taken care of. Kaitlin sent us daily updates with pictures and we came home to happy, excited boys. Would book again in a heartbeat!

Izabella was very communicative while she pet sit our two cats over a long weekend. She sent photos and gave updates on how they were doing each visit. She even did an extra visit during the day once since she was so close to us! While staying overnight in our home, she was very respectful and left it just as clean as she found it! Would definitely hire her again.

About: Hi! I’m Ashley 🐾 I know how hard it can be to leave our pets when you’re traveling, working, or just need an extra hand, so I’d love to be that person you can feel comfortable trusting with your pets. I have two 14-pound dogs of my own who are truly the loves of my life, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets when you’re away. Finding someone who is both trustworthy and available when you need them can be challenging, and that’s one of the reasons I wanted to offer pet care to others. My 4-year-old dog, Penny, is one of the reasons I understand how important patience can be with animals. I adopted her three years ago, and she was very scared and traumatized from her time in the shelter. It took a lot of patience, love, and reassurance for her to come out of her shell. Watching her become the happy, loving dog she is today taught me that you never know what a pet has been through or how deeply one negative experience can affect them. I want to give every pet owner that sense of confidence that with me, your pet will be safe. Whether your dog needs a walk and some playtime or your cat needs a little food, attention, and someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I’m dependable, caring, and pay attention to the little things. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions, and I’ll always make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pets and hopefully become someone you can count on whenever you need a little help! My current availability can be flexible, but is typically Monday through Friday 6 AM to 8 AM, 6 PM to 9 PM. Tuesdays and Fridays, I availability throughout the whole day and Saturday and Sunday anytime of day. My schedule is quite flexible so if you have something in mind, let’s talk through it! It’s likely I can make it work. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what makes them feel comfortable, and I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I’m patient and attentive, especially with pets who may be nervous or need a little extra time to trust someone new. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, my goal is for them to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re doing well. 🐾

Tayler is wonderful! My two pooches loved her. She did such a great job with both of their peculiarities. She took good care of Bowie with his allergies and his tendency to chew his feet. She left my house looking great! Also, her regular updates with photos made me feel so reassured that they were all doing well. I hope to keep her as my “go to” sitter!

Michelle took such great care of our dog and cat (and house!) while we were away. Our dog is particularly grumpy and Michelle was able to walk and feed him without issue. We were also updated often which helped us enjoy our vacation knowing they were doing well. The house was clean upon our return - would book again!

We have never had a house sitter / pet sitter before. Norah was wonderful and our crybaby pitbull was perfectly fine. 😄 Norah left everything neat as a pin. We hope she will come again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hugo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Hugo on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,179 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hugo. 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 Hugo 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 Hugo 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 Hugo 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 Hugo. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
