“Kayla was amazing. Our dogs always get supper stressed when we have to board them so we tried having a house sitter. We had lots of good contact with Kayla with how the dogs were adjusting to her and the dogs seemed to like her. Kayla left the house clean.”
“Kaity did a great job taking care of our dogs and cat. They were happy and healthy when we got back from our trip. The pictures were especially appreciated. Thank you Kaity!”
“Kimberly took excellent care of our pups while we were away. She sent updates and photos during her stay with them. She also took good care of our home. Leaving our dogs can be tough, but she put our minds at ease with her great care and communication. I would highly recommend Kimberly.”
“Rebecca was amazing, she would send pictures of our 2 girls daily and let us know that everything was good. They warmed up to her fairly quickly. Rebecca made us feel at ease while we were away because we knew they were in great care. Thank you Rebecca. If you are looking for someone that will set your mind at ease when it comes to your pets I would recommend her.”
“We came home to one spoiled dog! Emily did a fantastic job taking care of both Sugar and the house - really appreciate it! Highly recommend her if you're looking for a dog or house sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for years. As well as house sat for a friend who owns a farm, caring for her numerous animals. Hi! I currently work at 9 AM to 5 PM job and can make it home around 12 PM to 1 PM for a lunch break to take the dog to the bathroom and/or a walk. This would make it so the dog will go 4 hours between potty breaks. I have full availability on the weekends. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with plenty of space for a dog to run around safely. We board dogs often and have puppy proofed it for safety.
“Liz was available on short notice and took great care of my dog Nova! I got lots of picture updates and had a happy dog when I returned home. I would definitely recommend her and ask her to watch Nova again in the future.”
“Daniel cared for our active 16-month Australian Shepherd for 6 days. Our dog appeared happy and well cared for upon our return. Also our house was clean upon our return.”
“We were very pleased with the care and attention that Jennifer provided for our two dogs and cat! She also left our house immaculate! I would definitely recommend Jennifer and hope to use her again in the future.”
“Great with the dogs, communication, and the house! On my list of repeat dog watchers. Plenty of updates and pictures, left the house cleaner than when I left. Will continue to use! Thank you for doing this on such a short notice.”
“We are so grateful to have found Ashley here on Rover! She took such great care of our Lab, Lilah, our shy kitty and our home while we were away. She played with and walked our dog often and send cute picture updates. We would highly recommend Ashley to anyone.”
“Kristi is amazing. I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies. She's very communicative and totally understood my older dog's routine. We had a great experience going out of town knowing our dog was being taken care of. Also our house was perfect when we got home!”
“Madison was a wonderful house and dogsitter!! Very considerate and prepared and brought a professional air to the meet and greet that was extremely impressive!! Highly highly highly recommend her services and would definitely request them again for our two large dogs!!”
About: Hello! I am an animal lover and always have been since I was little! I have a beautiful blue heeler/terrier mix who loves to go on hikes, jogs, and even paddleboarding! I will respect any and all boundaries but would love to take your pup out if needed to any place for some extra sunshine! But if that’s not an option I am also totally okay cuddling and being chill too! I am excited to take care of your dog and/or cat! I am currently working part time at dutch bros. So I work at max 6 hour shifts. Starting in late August I will be a full time student/athlete at the college of Idaho but I am still willing to fulfill what is needed! Just reach out and ask and I can make anything work. I will always listen to what I am told and be extremely cautious in a home that isn’t mine! I respect all boundaries of the owner and the dog.
“Erin was awesome!! She was quick with responding, provided pictures and updates of Max while we were gone and had a great fenced yard that Max loved 😃. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Just don’t even know where to start. Jessica and her family go above and beyond with every stay. She’s exceptional about communicating with pictures and daily updates, and even an unanticipated vet visit was handled in stride, leaving us with come confidence in her care. Exceptional!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. Friends, neighbors and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with and check in on their pets while they were away. I have taken care of a variety of pets including dogs, cats and horses. I'm patient, responsible and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and they usually always get along with me too. I understand that every pet has different needs and energy levels, and I always want them to feel comfortable, safe and cared for. I'm travelling a bit this June but other than that, I am very flexible. The dates I will not be in town are June 4-16 & June 26-30. I am constantly looking for people's pets to take care of, so I'll always make time for you! I am willing to go above and beyond for your furry friend; feeding at necessary times, letting them out to go potty every few hours, playing with them, giving them much attention, taking them on walks, and following any additional requests you have for me!

I left my 2 dogs, canary, and aquarium in Kayla's care while on a 2 week vacation - I've never left them this long and was a little apprehensive. Kayla was absolutely wonderful! She sent daily updates and pictures - her communication was great, and my dogs loved her. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Josephson on Rover is $27.38 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 961 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Josephson. 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 Josephson 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 Josephson 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 Josephson 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 Josephson. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
