“Just simply remarkable! My pups loved her and she was very hands on with playing and wearing them out. Thanks Savanna I will look forward to having you over next week!”
“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”
“He was just so great with our dogs. I felt really insecure about leaving them for the first time since we moved cross country. Brandon gave me peace of mind and tons of pics with notes that let me know the dogs were perfectly content with their sitter. We’re already planning the next trip and have booked Brandon for a second time. If we ever need dog sitting, he’ll be our go to guy.”
“Marissa was very responsible. I had peace of mind that she was caring for my doggies. Especially for my dog that requires medication several times a day. I will definitely request her services again. Hopefully very soon!”
About: I’ve always had and been around family pets. Pets are such a blessing to each and every family. I’d love to help those of you who may need a little extra help while you’re out making money for their treats and toys I have full time availability. Any hour of any day will work, I just need a heads up. As long as I can have hours for self care, I’m good to go! I will make sure any and all pets are cared for. I’ll be sure to ask questions like if your cat is permitted to be outdoors and if your dog door darts! As well as any special needs they may have or special diets.
“Heather was excellent - I would highly recommend her. She stayed overnight with my 15 year old dog and gave him his meds as well. I felt very comfortable with her in the house and Munson, my shitzu, loved her.”
“Katie was amazing!!! She was recommended to us by a friend, to House sit our puppy while we went on vacation. We were very concerned that leaving our baby in a kennel might change his personality, as he is only 7 months old. Katie laid our fears to rest, she came to meet Hank to make sure that they would get along well. Best friends at first sight. During her stay with Hank she: *Kept up his training *long lease free walks *snacks and meals exactly as we had planned *naps and sleep times unchanged We think Hank is a better dog because of his time with her! Hank is our priority, but it should be mentioned that she took care of our home as well, Like we never left. We can't say enough great things, we got pictures and updates, she was available every time we called to check in. She will be our first call for a sitter for Hank, (a very spoiled Lab) and we highly recommend Katie to all our friends!! Thank You Katie for a great Vacation.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Riley stayed in our home for 3 nights and took such wonderful care of our dogs. When we returned, our home was spotless and our pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Her communication was excellent throughout our trip—she sent us plenty of photos each day, which gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and in great hands. We’ll absolutely reach out to her again the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Oli did an amazing job with our dog. We got such detailed and entertaining reports. We never worried for a moment that our dog was getting better care than we would provide. Oli was responsive and flexible and left our home in great condition. We would book Oli again in an instant and we very highly recommend them to anyone.”

About: I'm an animal lover eager to help take care of your pet with as little disruption or stress to their normal routines and expectations! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and cats particularly for walks, check-ins, and house sitting. I have regularly taken care of friend's and family's pets since 2024, and it brings me great joy. I am self-employed with a primarily travel-based career, combined with some light work-from-home, meaning I can make your pet the primary focus when I'm available for booking. Much of my work is contained to weekends so I can help particularly with weekday care. My primary focus is to be a highlight of your pet's day, or at least maintain their (and your!) usual routines and expectations as best I can. I offer walks, visits, crating, or longer-term pet sitting in your house. Any special requests or routines for your pets are my priority while they are in my care!

I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure each fur baby gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care. My work schedule isn’t set, I’m a dispatcher and work 6am-6pm. I work 3 days of 12’s and every other weekends or when they need me. I respect any rules given. They are your fur babies, you have every right to set boundaries. I will assure your fur babies are loved and all needs are taken care of with the most compassion and kindness
“Zoey did a great job taking care of my cat, dog, and house. She brought in my mail, took out the garbage, and watered my plants. She sent me pictures of my animals almost every day that we were gone, and she left behind the cutest doggy "report cards." Both my animals were "pawsitively purrrrrfect." :-) I will definitely use Zoey again!”

About: Hi! I'm Liv, a lifelong dog lover with professional experience working at a busy dog daycare (The Ruff House). I've cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities-from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. Growing up with dogs and fostering puppies has taught me how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently taking online college classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care for your pets. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra company, I’m happy to work around their routine. I’m available most days and will always communicate clearly about scheduling to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep doors and gates secure, ensure fresh food and water are always available, and provide lots of attention and enrichment. I have professional experience supervising dogs in a daycare setting, so safety is always my priority. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hunter
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hunter on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,518 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hunter. 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 Hunter 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 Hunter 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 Hunter 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 Hunter. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
