“Salome was incredibly kind, gentle, and patient with my rescue dog and two cats. The doggie is a senior chihuahua with a rough background and she worked very well with him and his anxiety. She was respectful and did a great job house sitting while I was away. I'd highly recommend her for pet and house sitting!”
“Cassandra was great. She took care of our dogs and house as if it were her own. She even had to get rid of a ground squirrel one of our dogs caught…above and beyond care for sure! Will definitely ask her to care for them again on our next trip.”
“Edyn was great and my Bulldog loved her and her Cowbell. She did a wonderful job and is coming back tomorrow for a week. We are so happy with her warmth and care for our Bulldog and home. Thank you so much Edyn!! :)”
“Jamie did a great job dog sitting with our two older small dogs while we were away. They were well cared for and happy when we returned. She was very respectful of our house too. We would definitely schedule her again.”
“Brie consistently provides pictures and communication about how my puppies were doing. She left our home clean and organized. Very happy with the care she provided Tula and Scout. Would definitely ask her to puppy sit again.”
“Dana was great with Rusty. She checked in with us a couple of times a day and sent us pictures to let us know how things are going. We will definitely try to hire her again in the future when we are out of town.”
“Bre is the best individual I’ve met on Rover. She is extremely responsive and caring for animals. She has my complete trust with leaving my animal with her regardless of where I am traveling to!”
“Kaedon was amazing! My cat loved him very much and didn’t take long for her to warm up to him. He was very attentive and took great care of her. He kept up with her feeding and medication. He sent me pictures and updates everyday! I would love to rebook with him for all future vacations! :)”
“Brianna is wonderful! I recently went out of town and she stayed with my four dogs for the first time and it was a great experience. The dogs adored her, were spoiled with cuddles and walks, and she very respectful of the house. She sent plenty of updates with pictures and followed their feeding and medication needs no problem! Overall, highly recommend Brianna for any pet care needs - she is caring and amazing with animals! 😊”
“Ericha was amazing with our animals! She went above and beyond to make sure all four of our pets and their very different personalities felt loved! She sent daily updates with pictures, took the dogs on daily walks, and spent extra quiet time with our shy cat to make sure she was comfortable with a new person in the house. We came home to a clean house and four very content animals who had obviously been treated with great love and care. We will definitely be requesting Ericha for our future travel plans!”
“Mario absolutely exceeded our expectations! After some difficult pet sitter experiences in the past this whole visit renewed our faith! Lou and Fern were happy in every single photo and the time, love and attention to details made such a difference. We will book Mario again knowing we can enjoy our time away and be worry free.”
“Danielle is wonderful. She took our dog on lots of hikes while we were gone and left the house very clean. She’s super responsive and very thoughtful! I would love to have her watch our pup again.”
“Alyissia was great with my senior pup. She was responsive to questions and provided updates for me. She was very tidy and the house was in the same condition as when I left. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: What makes me different from other sitters? I’m an animal lover through and through. My home includes a German Shepherd, a Mini Aussie, a Ragdoll cat, and even a snake, so I’m comfortable caring for everything from energetic dogs to sensitive cats and unique pets. I understand routines, enrichment, and the importance of keeping pets happy and safe while you’re away! Availability: 📚 Full-time student (9–5 weekdays) 🌙 Evening walks & drop-ins available during the week 🐾 Full weekend availability for sitting, longer visits, or extra playtime I believe pets do best when their routine stays consistent. I make sure they get regular meals, exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of affection. I prioritize safety, comfort, and making sure they feel relaxed while their owners are away
“Meghan did a fabulous job of watching our pup, Gracie! She is very knowledgeable and caring, and took great care of Gracie and the house. She communicates well and is very trustworthy. We’ll definitely hire her again! 🐾”
“Peyten did a terrific job! Most importantly she took great care of my pup. She spent hours playing and walking her each day. She took great care of my home and gave constant updates. I would definitely hire her again!”
“We greatly appreciated how well Lily took care of our Chex!! She communicated and sent pics regularly which put our minds at ease. And it’s clear Chex liked her and was comfortable as she clearly ate while we were gone (it’s not uncommon for us to come back with a skinny girl from refusing to eat). Also, Lily left our house clean which was greatly appreciated!! We will definitely book with Lily again!”
“Cara was absolutely fantastic. I had so much anxiety leaving him but she communicated consistently and sent daily photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She kept his belly full, made sure he got plenty of exercise, and treated him like her own. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and it was clear he was comfortable and cared for the entire time. I would 100% book with her again. Highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Knob Hill
As usual, Sarah did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and looking after our house. Coming home, you almost wouldn't even know someone had been here. Sarah does a great job, great communication during our time away, and goes above and beyond. Can't wait to have her take care of our dogs and our house for our next time away.
Haylie did a great job taking care of my pets while I was away. She sent regular photo updates, which gave me peace of mind, and my pets appeared to be well cared for. When I returned home, my house was clean and in great shape. I would definitely book Haylie again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Alexis stayed in our home while we were away vacationing for the past week. She took amazing care of our dog and 2 cats while we were gone. It was kind of amazing, actually - every time I thought, “I wonder how the pets and Alexis are doing,” I’d get an update from her within the hour! Needless to say, Alexis is a pro, and our trip was stress-free. The furry beasts were well cared for while we were away. Thanks Alexis!
Annika did absolutely amazing with our semi-complicated dogs, one of which is still a puppy! She helped our older dog stay calm and happy during fireworks and even gave up her 4th of July to stay with them. We came home to happy dogs, a clean home, and I swear my puppy is better behaved after having been with her. Will definitely be asking her to watch our dogs again. Thanks for going above and beyond Annika!
I cannot see enough good things about Janelle!! my Anya loved her, and I was so comfortable while I was away for a whole week. Janelle kept me updated on Anya’s status. I could not have been more please! My pup had never stayed with anyone outside the family before and I was very anxious, but Janelle really made it a great experience and I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. I would not hesitate to rebook her again when the time is right. The best part was that she came and met Anya before, so Anya would get to know her.. Janelle was pleasant kind, and reassuring with myself and my puppy dog. Janelle puppy at my dog at home and my house was perfect upon my arrival back home.. kudos kudos kudos to Janelle.

FAQs for House Sitting - Knob Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Knob Hill on Rover is $43.29 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 1,283 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Knob Hill. 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 Knob Hill 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 Knob Hill 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 Knob Hill 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
