“Liz was absolutely wonderful with our newly adopted dog. She was so patient, kind, and clearly experienced in working with dogs who are still adjusting to a new home. She took him on long walks, gave him lots of attention, and treated him like her own. We’re so grateful to have found Liz and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“We could not have been happier with Kayla! My wife and I took an international trip for more than a week and entrusted Kayla with both our home and our two large dogs, Ragnar and Rollo. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving everything in her care. Kayla was friendly, professional, communicative, and incredibly attentive to detail. She clearly loves dogs, and it showed in every interaction. We especially appreciated the photos and updates she sent, including some wonderful pictures of her playing with Ragnar and Rollo, making sure they got plenty of exercise, attention, and, of course, belly rubs. When you’re traveling overseas, peace of mind is priceless, and Kayla gave us exactly that. We never worried about the dogs or the house because we knew they were in capable hands. We returned home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and a house that was just as we left it. We would absolutely book Kayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Ragnar and Rollo clearly loved their time with her, and so did we.”
“My dog sitter had an issue the day before. Mary stepped in last minute and saved the day! She took incredible care of nefe and was so gracious to take such a short notice request. Absolutely recommend and will be booking her again! Thank you so much for everything!”
“McKinnon took great care of our pup. She kept in touch with us and sent us photos (which we love and so appreciate), and Frasier was obviously well cared for and happy while we were away. Thanks so much, McKinnon!!”
“Suzanne was nothing but spectacular. She was extremely meticulous with our pets and I was very comfortable having her stay in our home. She went above and beyond with things around the house, inside and out. Watered plants, filled feeders, laundry etc. She was always reachable and sent pictures. I am pretty particular with who I choose to watch our pets and Suzanne exceeded my expectations. ❤️ Thank you, Suzanne!!”
“We had a great experience with Amber! She was very responsive and quick to reply to any messages. She sent lots of wonderful pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for. She also left our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and takes pride in her work. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Ciera was the kindest soul, very professional, communicative, extremely orderly and punctual and just by how our pups were when we returned home we can tell they were loved and treated well in our absence! Ciera is wonderful for drop-ins or for house sitting! We would trust her with either! We are grateful we found her and would love to hire her again without hesitation! Thank you a million times Ciera!❤️”
“Avary did a wonderful job with taking care of my fur babies. She was reliable and trustworthy. She arrived on time, kept me updated, sent pictures, and followed through with requests. I will definitely be using her in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Can’t say enough wonderful things about Kaitlyn! She is super polite, showed up on time, and took great care of our pup. She also went above & beyond, sending us regular updates about our pup while we were away. We already have her booked for our next trip. We highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for an attentive and caring sitter!”
“Taylor is the absolute BEST pup sitter we’ve ever had. She goes above and beyond what you’ve asked for and spends so much quality time with the pets. She also sends lots of pictures and videos to keep you updated as well as plays fetch. We never have to worry about them when she is at our house. Highly recommend booking with her.”
About: Recently adopted a 1 year old dog and I truly have a love for taken care of animals along with being able to help out other pet parents! Current student and would be able to work anytime after 4 on Monday through Thursday and Friday through Sunday free anytime all day long if needed Always make sure that my dog has safe toys out and in my eyesight to make sure they are okay. Anytime my dog is out and about I make sure there is nothing on the floor that could be dangerous for him
“Autumn is an absolute dream! We had her house sit and stay with my two French Bulldogs while we went out of town for a few days. She was absolutely amazing! She kept me in the loop, sent tons of pictures and took such amazing care of them. It was really great for my dogs to be able to stay in their own home and receive the kind of attention they are used to, especially since it is difficult for me to leave them being that they are naturally an anxious breed. I didn’t have to worry at all while I was gone—I knew they were in great hands! We will definitely be contacting Autumn anytime we need help with them :)”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care of our dog and cat received while we were away. Serenidy went above and beyond, showering them with love and attention. Not only did they feel comfortable and loved, but our home was also in great hands!”
“Mark took great care of our dogs while we were away. He has extensive experience working with dogs, which made us feel confident that they were in good hands. Everything went smoothly and the dogs seemed happy and well-cared for when we returned. We appreciate his professionalism and would consider booking with him again.”
“Sadie did a great job caring for our home and dog. She was prompt, communicative, and sent photos while we were away. She left the house tidy, and we felt very comfortable having her in our home. She was easy to work with, clearly experienced with pets, and we would happily recommend her.”
“We re-booked Jenna for a 12-day vacation to care for our elderly two dogs with multiple medical needs. We trust her to care for them, administer their medications, and keep us informed. She sent pictures all along. The dogs enjoy having Jenna as their caregiver! I recommend her as a pet sitter as well to do drop-ins. We have also asked her to check on the dogs, let them out and feed them when we have a function in the evening. She’s a lovely, caring person.”

Hannah is absolutely fantastic! From the moment she walked in for the meet-and-greet, my dogs gravitated toward her instantly. It’s rare to find someone who connects with them that quickly. Throughout the booking, she was incredibly punctual and communicated extremely well, sending updates that kept my mind at ease. I especially appreciated her attention to detail—she followed all instructions perfectly and was professional enough to check with me before deviating from the usual routine. Most importantly, she didn't just 'check the boxes'; she spent quality time giving my girls the attention and affection they crave. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!
Kristen P. is fantastic! She knows what she's doing - how to tend to the needs of pets with different personalities and requirements. We just moved to Georgia with our 5 dogs but had to return to the west coast to pack up our house. So our dogs were in a new environment and did not have us around to feel secure. Rover provided many options for us and Kristen P. was the perfect sitter for us. She provided that secure feeling for our dogs in their new home while we were away. She provided photos and daily updates of the dogs' progress. Kristen P. is perfect in our home and with our animals and we will definitely call on her again. Thank you Kristen P.!!!
This was our first time using this app, and our first time using a dog sitter we didn't already know beforehand. We felt very comfortable using Dastin and he was great with our two pups! Very respectful, stayed in touch, and even sent pictures of our boys throughout his stay. 10/10 recommend and definitely plan on using him again!
We absolutely loved having Ashtyn care for our house and dogs while we were away! We had unexpected health concerns for one of our dogs who needed medications and more care and Ashtyn accepted and provided that care without question. She kept us updated on how our dogs were doing throughout our trip! And she left our home clean and tidy! We can’t say enough great things about her and will certainly request that she house sit again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Keithsburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Keithsburg on Rover is $42.8 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 3,777 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Keithsburg. 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 Keithsburg 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 Keithsburg 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 Keithsburg 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 Keithsburg. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
