“I can’t say enough about how great Patience was with the dogs! I’m sure they felt they were on their own vacation! We have dog with medication needs and she was totally on top of it! Sent pictures and video updates! I think the dogs only complaint is that she left when it was over!”
“I would definitely recommend Cassie anytime! Teddy really took to her and he is a difficult one to take to people! She was very attentive to him and he had a great time with her!”
“Kyle took outstanding care of Archie and Rhea (and kept a watchful eye on our home) while we were on vacation. He asked thoughtful questions and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, both pets were happy, healthy, and clearly well-adjusted. Archie and Rhea absolutely adore Kyle—I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again for future trips.”
“She was wonderful. As an experienced pet lover, she immediately bonded with my doggie, Cleo. It was great as she kept me updated with photos and even videos. Cleo was engaged and had a fun time with Kristen. I would highly recommend Kristin.”
About: I’ve had pets most of my life & am a very caring person. My work schedule is very flexible and I love meeting new pets! I have a very flexible schedule at work with most weekends and evenings off! I can be available during the mornings and afternoons as well! I can adapt to your needs! I live in a multi pet household and know that not all dogs (even the same breed) are the same! I will love your pets as if they were my own!
About: I don't remember a time in my life when I wasn't surrounded with pets and animals. I grew up with three cats and a dog, had a few gerbals and hermit crabs, helped raise pythons, and get to enjoy dog kisses and and snuggles whenever I want from relative's pets. My grandparents live on a farm and love to help any of creatures us grandkids find. Animals are my passion! As a young entrepreneur trying to take my life and schedule into my own hands, Rover is the perfect way for pet owners to get thorough, compassionate care for their loved fur babies as well as help me attain more clients and doggo kisses for my already established pet sitting services. Looking forward to meeting and working with you!
“Morena stayed at our house while we were on vacation. She was extremely friendly, provided lots of updates and we arrived home to a clean house. We will definitely use Morena in the future.”
“This was my first experience with Rover and Laura was absolutely the best I could ask for!!! My dogs are seniors and can require some additional attention. Laura was so patient, kind and kept me up to speed on how things were going at the house! Laura is truly a professional and an animal lover!! I will definitely request Laura for my next getaway! Thank you Laura for making me feel like my boys were well taken care of and loved!!”
“Elizabeth was a great pup sitter for Jazz and Sully, our 2 rescued Golden Retrievers. She kept us informed and sent photos, and during the meet and greet, we felt very comfortable leaving our "kids" and our home in her care. She left our house nice and clean, having done her dishes and vacuumed, and even changed and washed the bedding from the guest room where she slept. I recommend her highly and will definitely call her for future needs.”
“Kylie is amazing! She updated me multiple times per my request and she even send me their walking map to show where they went! She is fabulous and will recommend her to anyone...unless I need the dates you want 😁”
About: I'm a very reliable, caring, and responsible dog lover! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for around 12 years (big and little dogs, high anxiety, nervous dogs, dogs with medical needs, dietary needs). I don’t own any animals currently and would take care of your pet like my own. I enjoy going on walks, going to dog parks, playing fetch, tug, playing with mind/strategy toys, and giving healthy treats to help train a certain trick or correct a behavior. I enjoy playing one on one with dogs, or several dogs at once. I look forward to working with you to accommodate any requests to make you and your pet/s comfortable. Dogs are part of a family and I hope you chose me to be part of their lives! I currently set my own work schedule, so I'm very flexible with what you and your pets needs are! I will follow your instructions so your pet is comfortable with their regular process of how they do things. I'm looking forward to working with you and hanging out with your lovely pets!! I am able to follow any instructions needed for your pets. I want them to be comfortable in their regular routine, especially with a new person taking care of them! Their comfort and the owners comfort are very important to me.
About: When I was young, I used to have an Alaskan Malamute. My parents would allow me to walk and play with him. He was adopted 2 months before I was born and we were very bonded. After that, many neighbors and family members had pets that I interacted with. In 2017, I met my husband. At the time his parents had two dogs and two cats. I have walked both dogs, a Great Pyrenees mix and a dachshund, as well as played with the cats. Now they have one dog, a Bernese mountain dog mix, who we have dog sat on different occassions. In 2020, is when I adopted my first animal, my beautiful baby Sebastian. In 2024, I adopted my precious old lady who is a Bernese Mountain Dog named Strike. Both needed considerable training since they were both rescues. Sebastian had separation anxiety and needed special attention or treats in order to be comfortable. Strike had never seen a cat before and needed to be trained to ignore the cat. Both trainings were successful and they are friendly with each other now. They both love to play and go outside. Sebastian is harness trained. I also have volunteered with National Bernese Mountain Dog Rescue Network for two years and work in a dog kennel part-time. My husband WFH so someone is always home! I will provide the same compassion and care for your animals as if they were mine. I can provide training, playtime, walking, boarding, etc. I am willing to accommodate most requests. I have not given injection medication, but am willing to learn. I can provide plenty of treats or anything your pet may need. Can provide a separate space if not comfortable with other animals! Please feel free to ask any questions before booking! I currently work two jobs, but my husband is WFH. We are a team when it comes to taking care of animals! We make sure your animals get the care they need! I will follow all instructions provided and do what I can to make your pet happy. I will try to make them still feel at home even without their owner. If they do not get along with other animals, I have a separate space in my basement where I can board them (especially since my cat doesn't respond well to other animals at first). Will keep on leash at all times and accommodate any special requests to the best of my ability.
About: I have been around dogs throughout my entire life and I love dogs very much! I know how to care, feed, play, clean and love dogs the proper way! I will make sure that I treat your dog with as much love and care as you treat them and with as much love and care as I treat my own dog! I am a teacher during the day, so I will be available to walk, play, or visit your dog any day starting at 5pm. If you need me to house sit for you and your dog, I can happily do that on the weekends at any time! I am an animal lover through and through and I hope I will be able to care for your dog, or dogs, soon!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs as long as I can remember! I’ve studied dog psychology and pack behavior as a special interest. I can even do basic grooming for your fur baby. I look forward to meeting you and helping care for your beloved companion(s)! I currently have open availability! Weekdays and weekends are available. Please note that repeat clients get priority. Please message me and we can discuss your specific needs! On walks, I’ll be vigilant and try to make it fun. I always look out for good sniff spots and we can even work on any tricks or basic training if you want! I’ll treat your fur baby with care and respect, and follow your regular routines as much as possible so they’re at ease while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Justus on Rover is $28.86 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 434 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Justus. 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 Justus 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 Justus 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 Justus 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.

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.
