“Skyler was awesome! She communicated well and responded quickly. Augie loved playing and spending time with her. We would definitely recommend Skyler and use her again. Thank you!!”
“This was my first experience with Rover. I chose Casey because of her good reviews. She was prompt to reply every time I asked her a question, and she was happy to come and meet the dogs and meet us. She provided us daily updates on the dogs and she sent pictures. She left my house cleaner then when they arrived, according to my son. And the dogs seemed to really take to her. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting and we plan to use her again in the future”
“This was an amazing experience! Cameron took perfect care of our dogs while we were away. Constant updates kept us informed and we couldn't be more pleased. Would not only recommend Rover but Cameron as well!”
“Becca was great! She took very good care of our dog and cat while we were away on vacation. She sent us photos and kept us updated about our fur babies! She even kept the house clean! I highly recommend Becca, and we will definitely have her take care of our dog and cat again!”
“Cynthia and Judith were amazing dog sitters and people! They helped my family, and my pup, Candy, out in a bind. Cynthia and Judith took care of my pup like she was their own. They checked in with me daily, sent pictures, and followed all of my instructions. My pup has been going through some health issues recently, and Cynthia and Judith put me and Candy at ease. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”
About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! My journey in professional animal care began at just 15, when I started working in veterinary medicine and trained as a veterinary technician. Although I later ventured into nursing school and human medicine, my heart eventually led me right back to where it belongs: caring for animals! With both personal and professional experience, I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and little quirks that make them special. I have a particular love for senior pets and those with special needs, and I know how important it is to provide them with extra patience, understanding, and gentle, attentive care. I chose veterinary medicine because there is something truly special about the bond we share with animals. I fall in love a little more every day, and I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for like family. When you trust me with your beloved companion, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. Whether your pup needs extra snuggles, a little extra patience, specialized attention, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel right at home. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs. After losing my beloved dog, Yoshi, last year, I have more availability to dedicate to caring for other people’s pets. Yoshi had some special medical needs, including immune issues and a history of seizures, so caring for him taught me just how important patience, attentiveness, and compassionate care are for pets with unique needs. I would love the opportunity to provide that same level of love and attention to your furry family members. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs in their own homes, where they can feel safe, comfortable, and surrounded by familiar sights and smells. I began pet sitting for friends and clients at 18, and providing loving, dependable care has remained something I truly enjoy. After saying goodbye to my beloved senior dog, Yoshi, last summer, I’ve found even more meaning in spending time with and caring for other people’s pets while we wait for the right new addition to our family. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companion in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make sure your dog feels loved, secure, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in compassionate, experienced hands.
“Philip T. I would recommend to all my friends and family that have furr babies. He is very professional and polite and his positive dog whisperer vibe won the hearts of Nami, Juju and Penny. He gave great care and attention to detail when an unexpected emergency to the vet came about with one of our huskies. He kept us in the loop each day or evening of whatever activity was going on. He made us laugh so hard with the funny pics and videos. He definitely is the BEST Sitter Rover could ever have in a million years. We gained a new friend too.”

“Kinery was outstanding. She housesat for us and our puppy and cat, and the entire time we felt 100% confident they were in good hands. It was our first time leaving our pup with anyone, and she treated him like he was her own. She went above and beyond, even buying him special treats and taking him for a play date with her own dog. She gave special attention to our overly anxious cat to make him as comfortable as possible. We will definitely call her anytime we need someone to watch them, and highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care!”
“Renee was awesome. She took care of our 2 dogs at our home while we were away. Our doggies loved her! She’ll be our first one to contact whenever the same situation occurs again. A million thanks to her!”
“Abby is an excellent dog sitter. My dog was given a ton of love and my house was in good order when we returned from our vacation. We received daily pics and I'm pretty sure my dog would have been fine if we never returned! Abby obviously loves animals and is a responsible and reasonably priced sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a household with multiple animals, so I’ve always had a deep love and respect for them. I now have my own little fur baby and truly understand the responsibility and care our pets deserve as part of the family. With me, your pet will be in loving and attentive care, always treated with patience, affection, and respect. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and keeping pets company are activities I genuinely look forward to. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. I make sure they are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following their normal routines as closely as possible. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy level, eating habits, and overall comfort so I can recognize when something seems different.
“Jacqueline took good care of my Jojo while I had to be on a work trip. She always communicated with me, sent pictures, and Jojo enjoyed being with her. Jojo is a reactive dog, and Jacqueline handled it well. I definitely recommend Jacqueline for dogwalking, sitting, etc!”
“Diane was so kind and wonderful with our senior dog. She made such an effort to get to know us and our dog’s needs. She communicated clearly throughout her short stay. We can’t wait to book her again!”
“Steven and Donna are such great examples of animal lovers! They take such good care of my babies!! Highly recommend and we have used them over and over!!! My boys are content and happy when we return! And so are we!!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Inverness
We are so happy with how well Carly took care of Charley during an extended weekend stay in our home. She made sure all of her needs were met and worked on all the things we were focused on for our newly adopted foster dog….from long walks to cuddlefests! Her pictures and updates put all our nerves to rest. Her patience and kindness were appreciated by all of us not just sweet Charley-dog. We knew getting the right person would be an important part of building her village. We truly cannot recommend Carly enough!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Inverness is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $67 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 7,576 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 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
