“Tara did a very nice job when she stayed with my dogs. She was careful taking them outside, giving my elderly one his meds, and being sweet with them. They loved her. I will happily hire her again.”
“Cassandra did a terrific job with our "old lady" elderly cat! Her communication was great, she did a meet and greet ahead of our trip, and Polly was happy and did so much better with someone here at the house instead of drop-ins. Our house was spotless when we arrived home. We have already booked her again for future stays!”
“Paula was fantastic and our fur babies loved her!! They received lots of exercise and porch time. Her communication was excellent and she provided lots of pics during our time away. We will definitely be using her for our upcoming pet/house sitting needs.”
About: I am in the vet program at a local college and have worked with animals in school; Including dogs, cats, reptiles, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I love taking care of animals and don’t care about messes or sick. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter and have learned basic care. I’ve always had large dogs and currently have 2 dogs: a large and a small dog. I have a leopard gecko too and would love to take care of any reptiles/amphibians! I have classes Monday-Thursday and Fri-Sunday I am free all day. I just need a few days notice to make sure I stay free to take care of your pets! I love to go on walks and so your dogs will get exercised! I will take them out regularly and do not mind cleaning up messes or sick.
“Miles was absolutely AMAZING! Dude and Bunny were so well loved. He took care of them impeccably! Steve and I are overjoyed to have found someone we can trust with our "fur babies." They are 11 now and need a bit more TLC for aging hips and some vision issues. Miles was very communicative, sent pictures and videos, and updated us every morning. When you want to travel without worrying about your beloved 4-legged friends, MILES is SUPERB! Could not have asked for a finer human to sit and stay with our pups!”
About: I've taken care of my own dogs and other people's dogs for many years. Have experience with different temperaments and energy levels. Dogs are wonderful! I work full-time Monday through Friday. I can drop in to check on your pets and walk them after my shift ends at 5:00 any of those days. I am available on weekends for overnight stays at your home too. We will schedule a meet and greet first. I'll ask for details on feeding schedules, portion sizes, exercise needs, vet contact info, and behavioral triggers. I'll request clarification on all household rules. My dog's name is Leo. If you like, I can always bring him with me to socialize with your pets. He's very sweet and friendly. I'll follow the care plan you give me for your pets down to the letter.
“Kay is always fantastic with my dog, cat, and my home. She is very knowledgeable and makes sure my babies are taken care of. She always goes above and beyond even when there is a huge ice storm and the power goes out!! I highly recommend!”
About: I’m a RN, soon-to-be empty nester, and I love animals. I have experience with a broad range of breeds, except extra large breeds. I’m not a trainer, but I am patient and will treat your babies as my own. I am a RN, but manage a team from home. I am available most weekends and after work, but can do local drop-ins on my breaks throughout the week. I can accept one dog daily, provided they are mild-mannered and dog/cat friendly. I work from home, thus they would never be alone. Your fur babies will be well cared for and loved on while you’re away!
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 10, helping my parents care for multiple pets growing up. As an adult, I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats throughout the years! so I’m very familiar with the energy (and snuggles!) that come with both puppies and big breeds. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with: • Training multiple puppies 🐶 • Administering medications 💊 • Managing special diets 🦴 • Caring for both high energy, large/small breed dogs 🐾🩷 I truly love animals! not just dogs, but cats and all creatures, and treat them like family. Their safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most weekdays and free on weekends as well. I also have a car, so I’m able to come to your home for drop-ins, walks, or overnight care as needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether I’m dropping in for a visit, taking your pup for a walk, having them for boarding, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.❤️ Here’s what you can expect from me: • For dog sitting, I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, while also keeping up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special instructions you leave. • During drop-in visits, I’ll check in on your pet, let them out, refresh their food/water, and spend some quality time with them so they’re not feeling alone. • For dog walking, I’ll take your pup on a fun and safe walk, giving them both exercise and stimulation based on their energy level. Cleanliness, communication, and care are my priorities. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and love I’d want for my own.
“Elyssa did an amazing job with my fur babies. My dog even needed to go to the vet while I was gone, and she worked with me to get her seen and cared for asap. I'll definitely rebook her whenever I travel and would recommend her!”
About: I enjoy all animals. I aspire to open an animal rescue in the future. I have one amazing dog that I raised from a puppy. I take him on runs for exercise and also slow walks where he can take in all the smells. I love getting to meet new dogs and give them lots of love and massages. I try to connect with animals and make them feel more confident and comfortable so their true characters are able to come out. I have some extra time where I can spend taking care of your loved one. I truly enjoy being active and can exercise your dog better than over 90% of dog walkers (according to my mileage). I am very clean and respectful of other people’s homes. My parents were never strict, but one big thing they taught me was how to respect other people and their home/sanctuary.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. My neighbors and family would always trust me with their fur babys. I can give meds, bathe and take for walks.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I’m the proud dog mama of a 4 year old bichon frise named Jolene, and I trained her myself starting when I got her at 7 weeks old. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs and am comfortable giving medication if needed. As a full time teacher, I am available full time during the summer and on school breaks. I am also available on weekends and after 4:30 pm year round. Making your dog feel loved and safe is my top priority. I want them to feel comfortable with me being in their home, and I will do what I can to make that transition easy for them. I crate trained my dog early, and I know how important safe spaces are for dogs.

The average cost of House Sitting in Laguardo is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $81 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 Laguardo 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 Laguardo 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 Laguardo 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.
