“Stacey did an amazing job! From the moment we met her, we could see how much she genuinely loves animals, and we knew our fur babies would be in great hands. She communicated with us throughout the weekend, keeping us updated on how everything was going and sending lots of wonderful pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Without a doubt, Stacey is the best sitter we've had. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets!”
“Caleb did a great job with our 3 dogs we had one that needed meds twice a day and he did great. I would recommend him to sit your fur babies he stayed at our home and left it clean.”
“We’ve needed a reliable pet sitter for years, especially now that our pups are getting older. Cynthia is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. She took great care of our home and our old babies while we were away and went above and beyond our expectations. She was also incredibly kind about one of the dogs eating a toy that upset their stomach. We were able to enjoy our trip and not have to worry about our fur babies one bit!”

“Gabbi did a wonderful job for us. She's responsible and conscientious and loved on our pup so well that when we returned home, the sad story our dog gave us was very short compared to other times we've had to leave her. That alone, made us feel so relieved knowing she was so well cared for. We will definitely be using Gabbi and her services again!”
“Keely stayed at our house for almost 2 weeks with our 15 year old senior boy!! He can be a little complicated and she did so well with him! She took great care of our home and left it spotless too! We got daily updates and photos of him as well. We cannot recommend her enough!! She is amazing!”
“Louann arrived at the agreed on time. So dependability is a plus. We didn't have to stress or worry about anything. We received pictures and comments about our dogs. They were well taken care of and we have fiesty dogs and they require lots of potty breaks. My home was in good shape when we returned. She brought in the mail and watered our plants. We appreciate the care she gave and loved on our dogs.”
About: Hi! My name is Libby, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I attended a technical school for Animal Science, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care and handling. Growing up, I’ve had a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, fish, hermit crabs, bearded dragons, geckos, and degus. Having experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about providing the best care possible for every animal. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, getting lots of attention, or simply relaxing with a little extra company, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel at home. I know pets are family, and I would treat your furry (or scaly!) friend with the same love, kindness, and care I would give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to offer your pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I can easily fit in regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, walks, and potty breaks while maintaining a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry family members are in loving, reliable hands, and I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Since I work from home Monday through Friday, I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines, follow feeding and care instructions closely, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I respect your home, keep things clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands!
About: I'm ready to spoil your fur babies with endless love, belly rubs and top notch care while you're away. I'll treat them just like my own and send you plenty of cute photo updates. I can't wait to become your pet's new best friend! I am currently working full time and will be available anytime after 5pm and on the weekends. I offer drop ins and also dog walking. I can come walk, play with, feed your dog or cat, in your own home. I will follow your care instructions and ensure your baby receives top notch care while you're away.
“Kimberly was so sweet and took great care of our fur babies! She kept us updated, followed all of our instructions, and we felt totally comfortable knowing they were with her. We came home to two happy pups! 10/10 would definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Candice (Xiaochen) I grew up with dogs and have cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I started Rover four years ago, and after a life transition, I’m now opening my own account. On my previous Rover account, I earned 100+ five-star reviews and built many long-term repeat clients. I’m excited to bring the same level of care to my new clients. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—puppies, seniors, large breeds, and rescue dogs. I’ve volunteered with SPCA/rescue organizations, fostered homeless animals, and helped them find loving homes. I’ve also raised and socialized guide dog puppies, so I’m experienced with puppy training, basic obedience, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. I can administer medications and injections as directed by your veterinarian and permitted by Rover. Your dog will be treated like my own. I provide daily photo and video updates, follow your feeding, walking, and medication routine, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles. I respond quickly and keep you updated throughout the stay. I have a large home and a fully fenced backyard with a dog door, so dogs can safely enjoy indoor-outdoor freedom. I supervise outdoor time and can create separate quiet areas when needed. My home is non-smoking and has no children.
“Consuella was an absolute delight. She was so kind and my fur babies love her very much. I hope she is available to help us again soon. I will be adding her as a favorite going forward.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Knollwood is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Knollwood
Cameron goes WAY above and beyond!!! One cat had a medical emergency, and he was right on it - and it turned out to be non life threatening. But I was in the hospital, and it was SO comforting knowing the care Cameron was giving my fur babies!!!! I can’t say enough about how appreciative I am of his services, and I will always request Cameron first for any future bookings!!!!
We don't trust anyone with our dogs, but we left town for eight days, leaving Adriana alone with our two big sweet boys, Hunter and Bluey. Adriana sent at least five photos each day, plus details about their behavior and well-being. It was obvious, even from the initial meet-and-greet, that Adriana was going to be the perfect fit for our family. We actually relaxed into our trip knowing our boys were being loved back at home by a true professional. Honestly, I can't think of anything that would have made the experience better. Adriana exceeded all expectations on every level. I think our dogs miss her! We will plan all future vacations around Adriana's availability because we don't think it's possible to find anyone who compares.

The average cost of House Sitting in Knollwood is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $53 per night.

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 Knollwood 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 Knollwood 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 Knollwood 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
