“James went above and beyond in caring for our dog, Toby! He made sure Toby got great outside time, even when the weather was terrible, and left music and the lights on for him so he wasn't lonely before we got home. He left our house super clean, would definitely book with him again!”
“Robert was ABSOLUTELY fabulous! He was patient, thoughtful, and really communicative. From the moment we requested a sitter until after the service was complete, he was swift to respond, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated on all the pet care rituals. He did not flinch when the breaker needed to be reset during a housesit, and he took such wonderful care of our tankgirl, Bailey. 5 stars, 2 thumbs way up, and a 3 snaps in Z formation! Highly recommend.”
“Ana took such wonderful care of our two dogs and one cat while we were traveling! She played with them, took them for walks, and shared lots of pictures. I honestly think they had a better time with her than they have when we're home! Ani, thank you so much!”
“Highly Recommend Madeline! We had such a wonderful experience with Madeline! This was our first time ever using a pet sitter, so we were understandably a little nervous—especially because our dog can be somewhat challenging. Madeline was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly timely, responsible, and attentive. We really appreciated the updates she sent throughout the overnight stay—they were just the right amount and gave us peace of mind knowing everything was going well. The photos she shared were an especially nice touch, and we loved being able to see our dog happy and comfortable while we were away. Madeline handled everything so professionally and clearly has a genuine love and understanding of animals. By the time we returned, we felt completely confident that our dog had been well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with a pet sitter. Madeline was wonderful, and we would absolutely trust her with our dog again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Lanii, was great!!! She was super communicative the whole time. Plenty of update pictures and even texted me when our anxious dog was having accidents in the house due to be nervous around new people. They both loved her instantly and were intimidated at all! I would highly recommend her as a sitter and we will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Jade continues to be amazing! Smalls loves her and she takes such great care of him! I came home and I think he misses her already haha! Thank you Jade for being an amazing sitter!”
“Moriah watched my collie mix while I was gone and it was such a pleasure. She did a great job, especially managing my high energy dog and my dog’s medication. I look forward to booking her again next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Natalia is the best! She was kind, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my cats were in great hands. The house was spotless when I got back and I’ve already booked her for my next few trips. Highly recommend!”
“Arrived home to a spotless house and very content dogs—Bruce did a great job with everything, including administering medications. Will definitely work with him again in the future.”
“Iris is an exceptional house sitter and pet sitter. My “slow to trust” cat was so comfortable with Iris he did not hide from her! Our dog loves all the attention and play time he gets while Iris is with him.”
“Dahae stayed my house to take care of my needy dog with bad separation anxiety. She was very considerate for needs & communicated with me well. My dog seemed to be comfortable with her quickly . I would ask her to watch him again .”
“Jolene is awesome, she was well prepared with details about toby. She is a creative person and it was awesome to see her draw Toby! Toby loved her!!”
“Tyler was great with our feisty dog Juno. She went on some fun adventures and we came home to a happy dog and tidy house. Thanks so much and we’ll definitely book again in the future!”
“Michelle was amazing....again! Our timid senior dog was happy and relaxed when we returned. We appreciated daily pictures and updates. Michelle left the house spotless and our plants were watered and healthy. We highly recommend Michelle.”
“Zachory has done in-house dog sitting for our 2 dogs a few times now, he’s always done a great job and our dogs are excited to see him. They aren’t the easiest, both have medications and one is a picky eater but Zachory manages it and follows our often ridiculous instructions well.”
“2nd overnight dog sitting in our home with Brian. Was again a great experience and would recommend him! Thank you Brian, we will use your services again!”
“My boys (2 dogs) LOVED Michael! I received a ton of updates with photos during the 2 week long stay. Michael took great care of the dogs and my home. I will definitely be booking with him again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hunts Point
Uliana did a terrific job with our two boy cats, who like a lot of attention. We were looking for someone who truly understands and appreciates cats, since ours are not satisfied with someone simply stopping by to feed them and clean the litter box, and that’s what we got in Uliana. They understood that one boy needed a lot of attention while the other one likes his space (but also likes having a person around) and sent us lots of pictures. And they left the house tidy, too.
Mackenzie was absolutely amazing with our dog Hank! She was extremely thorough and detail oriented about his care. I received daily pictures, video and text updates while we were away. The whole experience was above and beyond. We will be booking with her again!!
Erin stayed with my two cats for a few days this summer. She was very responsive when I first reached out to inquire about her availability. Once she was here, she was communicative and sent photos and updates of the cats throughout the stay. She left the house sparkling clean and cats were happy! I will be using her in the future! Thank you!!!
🐾Liane was a PERFECT house sitter for our four pets🐾 We could tell from the way she followed our instructions on our pet’s routines, to being able to give pet medicine, to taking care of our elderly dog, keeping the house clean, and sending us cute updated photos. Could not recommend her more highly; book her now—you don’t need to look any further🐾

The average cost of House Sitting in Hunts Point is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $104 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Hunts Point 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 Hunts Point 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Hunts Point 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
