About: My approach matches the energy of the animal and meets them on a level they’re ready for! I have spent my whole life taking care of cats, and they have taught me how to respect an animal’s boundaries with patience and compassion. I have petsat for several years now! It is a delight to learn and love every furred friend I have the privilege of taking care of. Safety and trust with your animal is my primary focus. Currently, my schedule is very open, especially during the weekdays! I have a notebook I use to keep track of my schedule and special notes. To take care of anyone animal, I listen to what they tell me, and adjust my behavior based on theirs. I focus on safety, patience, and trust in building a relationship, and I’m happy to start that at whatever distance or level they want to.
“Sylvia was Incredible watching our 5 animals at our home. She was so responsive and sent daily updates with pictures of the animals. Highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Elisabeth did an amazing job house sitting for us. We received daily updates with pictures of our sweet girls. We already have her booked for future trips. Highly recommend Elisabeth.”
“Caitlynn was amazing with our two babies. Was so detailed with prep before staying with them and sent us videos everyday! We were so at ease on our trip knowing our babies were being taken care of so well. Couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Tiffanie was great. Even though last minute, she came to meet the dogs before her stay. She took great care of them, sent lots of pictures, was very communicative-commenting on each dog’s personality so you know that she’s spending time with them, and left our house in perfect condition.”
About: I absolutely love animals and have had them through out my entire life. I have experience from working at “Dogtopia” to “Home away from home, dog boarding”. I understand the importance of family and would love to be your dogs next best friend! I have experience providing care for a variety of animals, including feeding, grooming, and monitoring health. I am familiar with cleaning and sanitizing animal housing and equipment, and can recognize signs of illness or distress. By feeding, walks, and playtime—with my personal habits like breakfast, exercise, and evening relaxation it helps to create a consistent, healthy routine. My successful routine with my 12 year old senior terrier includes early morning engagement to set a positive tone, scheduled midday breaks or mental stimulation to combat boredom, and structured evening bonding that eases stress. I have a 12 year old friendly Emotional support animal named Flower, who still loves to run and play. I also live close to the park, and have a crate if needed.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and ages for several years. Pet sitting is a responsibility that I take seriously. I will care for your pet in the same capacity of caring for my own! I’m a full time graduate student. I am free during the evenings Sunday-Friday and additionally midday Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I am available anytime on Saturdays. I work best when families tell me what to do with their pets! I follow directions precisely and will not leave you guessing what your pet is up to. I cannot keep pets at my house, but I am willing to house sit if/when necessary.
About: I have three dogs of myself and a rabbit! I’m previously from Arizona and I’ve had dogs for longer than I can remember. I have experience in taking care of elderly dogs (14+). Currently two of my dogs are with me in VA. I make sure to remove and sterilize shoes before entering the home. Just reach out and we can shot some time around and do a meet and great! Im a graduate student and my schedule is relatively free at the moment. Any type of changes to my schedule will be communicated. I can give more concrete times when given exact dates. I don't take pets in my home due to having two dogs myself. I make sure to sterilize shoes and hands before entering premises as a precaution for dogs with sensitive health.
“Alexis was amazing with Brody and Marco while doing house sitting at my place. She was prompt and took the time needed for both of my dogs since they both have different needs. She gave the medications as instructed and gave my boy Marco the extra time he needs due to his past and getting comfortable with people. She even did extra things I didn’t ask her to do. Thank you so much Alexis and I will definitely be in touch again when I need someone!”
“Robert is a 10/10 he went above and beyond to ensure our kitties knew he was a friend and that they were not abandoned while we were away. He respected their space but also ensured they felt loved. His updates were thorough and helped us to feel better about leaving our kitties at home. Highly recommend him to watch your pets.”
“Great job by Karleigh. She was attentive and caring for our cat and dog and housesitting. She provided updates and ensured the house was well cared for. We would definitely use her services again.”
About: I have been owning pets since I was a child and I have loved animals in general ever since. I’ve cared for young animals to older animals I walk them and bathe them and I just love hanging out with animals! I go to school on Mondays and Tuesdays, and I have a job other days but I only work morning shifts and get off around 5:30–to 6:00 depending on the day! I unfortunately cannot have other animals in my house. I have 6 animals which include one dog and 5 cats, I have a fenced in yard where my dog hangs out to go potty and get some air and my cats have a lot of toys to play with! And I can do the same thing in your house with your fur children!
“Kylee did a wonderful job caring for my pets. She communicated regularly and sent plenty of pictures. The dogs were happy and well cared for when I returned, and the house was absolutely spotless. Kylee was polite, courteous, and professional throughout the entire experience and I highly recommend her!”
“Mary was so great! Very responsive and flexible to work with. Our pup loved spending the weekend with her at our home while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Mary again.”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, goats, chickens, pigs, peacocks. You name it. I’ve been a huge fan of animals since I can remember. I’m super active outside and love taking pups out on hikes or walks. My last dog had to take meds so I’m also extra sensitive to pups that may need more present care. I’ve dog sat and house sat for many years before and just recently decided to give rover a try. I’m also a photographer so pics of your sweet pea will be guaranteed! I’m a photographer so my schedule varies. Sometimes I’m on a shoot or at home editing. I work part time at a restaurant wed-Friday so am unavailable those evenings. I am generous with my love with pets if they want that. If they are shy I will absolutely listen to what they need and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I am clean and respectful of others’ space and strive to make sure your sweet pup gets the activities they deserve.
“Tyler was great with our dog Saxon. They seemed to really enjoy each others company. We would gladly have Tyler house/dog sit again. He was very pleasant, left the house in good shape and Saxon seemed sad to see him go.”
About: I've spent nearly my entire life caring for pets, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs. My love for animals was ingrained in me from early childhood, and my passion for nurturing animals plays a huge role in who I am today 🩷🐾 I'm currently in college and taking online classes for the 2026/2027 school year. This allows me to have a very flexible schedule for pet care. I currently offer pet sitting services outside of my home. This typically entails feeding dogs breakfast/dinner, taking them outside every few hours, playing with those who enjoy outside time, and simply spending some time providing belly rub services 🐶 For most cats, I feed breakfast/dinner, empty litter box daily, let outside (if permitted 🐈) and set aside time for cuddles 🐾
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ladd is $50

Tiffanie is an excellent petsitter. We left our 14 year old dog and 2 year old cat with her when we went to a wedding, for 5 days. She was superb! She sent us pictures and asked us all of the right questions. She is calm and provided the perfect care for Leo and Max. They were happy and content when we got home. Tiffanie is very thoughtful of the pet owners. We will definitely request Tiffanie again and recommend her highly.
Mary stayed at my home for a week to care for my two dogs, cat, and bunny while I was away. It was comforting to know the animals had someone with them and I really appreciated having the help. Everyone was well-fed and the house was in good shape when I got back. Thanks again for being there and taking care of things!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ladd
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ladd on Rover is $33.3 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 440 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ladd. 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 Ladd 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 Ladd 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 Ladd 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
