“Carol was great. Apollo has severe anxiety during thunderstorms and she took care of him. Gave him his medication and cuddled with him to make him feel safe. She played with him and took him on short walks. She asked questions when needed and sent us pictures daily. I highly recommend Carol. She treated Apollo like he was her own. We already have her booked for a second time.”
“What can I say…if I could give Lynda 10 stars ⭐️ I absolutely would!!! She went above and beyond with taking care of my girl, Cinnamon and my home for a week! She kept in contact with me every day and sent me pictures. I highly recommend Lynda to take care of your fur kids and your home. Thank you Lynda and Rover for a great experience and for easing my mind!”

“Jessica was the best!!! She went above and beyond to care for my pup! She was punctual and always made sure to give an update with each visit. For someone who is nervous about leaving my pup with a stranger I can say that she calmed my nerves and she no longer feels like a stranger. Will certainly use her services in the future.”
About: I have taken care of animals all my life. I've had dogs to horses. I love them as family just like I love my own children. I'm retired so I have plenty of time to put myself into a job in which I would love. I know I would love your animals as much I love mine. My dogs are very spoiled and very well taken care of and loved by all of my family. So I will show your pets the same love and care as I show my own

If you liked my service, feel free to book again. ♡ Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine because I have animals that i take care of daily. Also, i have a lot of free time so ill be able to stay with your pet overnight, or even just visit and do potty breaks, and even walk your dogs. Once I start doing these, my days will be filled with more Pets and Pet care which i enjoy. I would care for pets in my clients home by making sure they are fed per instructions. I will walk your dog every 2-4 hours to use the potty and I'll make sure to clean their poop afterwards. I would also provide the dog with water, especially after walks if your pet is thirsty. If you usually give your pet a treat after using the bathroom, i will make sure to give them a treat. If your pet has an accident in your house, then i will make sure to clean it up.

About: I grew up around tons of dogs and have experience caring for both large and small breeds! I’ve owned everything from a Belgian Malinois, pits, to poodles, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and care needs—from the wildest pups to the calmest companions. I’ve also cared for stray cats for years, giving me plenty of experience with cats and animals that may need a little extra patience and understanding. I absolutely love animals and would be happy to provide your pets with the same love, attention, and care I give my own! Text me anytime, I normally answer super quick!!! And have very open schedule time for me, almost anytime is fine with me just give me a holler :) I can stop by for walks, attention, dinner time or even just some play time for your fur babies! Anything you need, just one text away
“Lisa was wonderful! She came over the day before to meet our puppy Maple. They became instant friends. She took Maple for a walk and made sure she was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her for pet sitting.”
“Mikaela was great with Athena and Little Bit! This is the first time a new person has interacted with our girls since we have had them. She made friends with them and judging from their reaction when I came home they looked forward to her daily visits.”
“Carter took great care of my boys. They aren’t the easiest (one doesn’t like strangers or other dogs and the other has separation anxiety and both are big and needy) but from the moment he met them, they were buddies. He left the house in clean and kept me informed on how they were doing while I was away. Will definitely book with him again and we are so thankful we found him.”
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about the animals I look after. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs rather than treating every visit the same. I’m patient, responsible, and love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while their owners are away. 🐾 My schedule is flexible, and I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and spending quality time with pets throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and supervised at all times. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any special routines. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Amanda is amazing! She did a wonderful job with my pets and was conscientious about following my instructions. Receiving photos and updates every day was great. I highly recommend Amanda!”
About: I have a genuine passion for animals and hope to become a veterinarian in the future. I currently work with dogs, which has given me hands-on experience understanding their needs, personalities, and behaviors. I’m patient, caring, and attentive, and I enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different ages and energy levels, and I’m always willing to give extra attention to young, senior, or nervous pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for regular visits and can work around your pet’s feeding, playtime, and care needs. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to giving each pet the attention they deserve. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet I care for. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions and routines to make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. I keep their space clean, provide fresh food and water, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are safely secured. I’m patient and attentive with every animal and always treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own pets.
“Angela has been caring for our cocker spaniel for about a month now, and she has just been wonderful to work with. We recently moved to FL, and before that, our dog only had one caretaker for his entire life (he's 12), so we really wanted to take the time with someone new for both drop in visits and overnights/housesitting, and she has really gained his trust - and ours!! He seems very happy in the photos she sends. So happy we found her!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 2, I also have had guinea pigs and fish before. I have training in taking care of young puppies prepping for potty training and minor injuries. My schedule is extremely flexible at the moment, and I currently have full availability to accommodate your needs. I will notify in advance other wise. Taking out to bathroom when crying, playing when bored or lonely, giving treats periodically, feeding when time, occasionally washing after playing outside or smelling bad.
“Our pups love Lindsay and we’ve been so grateful for her flexibility this most recent booking. Our house needed some repairs while she was dog sitting and she was so patient with the requests related to that.”
About: I’ve always loved animals ever since I was little and love seeing the different personalities each pet has. Neighbors, friends and family have been able to rely on me to walk, feed and sit their pets. I currently work part-time working typically 3/4 hours a day about 2 days a week. This will leave plenty of time to play with your animals and care for them. I have two friendly animals in the household and a fenced yard allowing the animals to roam freely. Whether it is at my home or theirs, I listen to the owners rules and routines for their animals.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Inverness
This is the second time Carol has stayed with Apollo and I felt completely at ease knowing she was with him. She plays with him and takes him for walks but most importantly she comforts him when it thunderstorms. He is extremely anxious when it thunders and she makes him feel safe. I highly recommend her.
5 Stars - Molly is AMAZING! Molly stayed at our house to watch our dogs, and honestly, she's the best. Our pups absolutely loved her - and that's saying something because they're not easy to impress. She has this natural way with dogs that makes them feel like she's their best friend (which, let's be real, she basically is now). What really got us was how great she communicated throughout the whole time. We got updates, pics of the pack having the time of their lives, and zero stress on our end. She took great care of our home and our dogs like family. Our dogs are already asking when Molly's coming back. Seriously, if your pups need someone they can trust (and someone YOU can trust in your home), Molly's your person. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Inverness is $34 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $51 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 579 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Inverness. 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 Inverness 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 Inverness 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 Inverness 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.
