“Kaity did a great job as our housesitter and pet sitter. She sent frequent pictures of our animals and played with our dog. Our shy cat even came out of hiding for her! She watered all of my flowers outside, collected mail and packages, and left the house in great shape. We will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: I am a responsible young adult that makes connections with every pet I see. I follow directions, exceed expectations and give great experiences for the pets. I have taken care of 4 litters of puppies, dogs ranging from bernese mountain dogs to dachshunds, and multiple cats. I am a hard working college student who wants to own multiple businesses some day including and dog sitting one. Pet care fits into my daily routine because as a college student I have plenty of time in between and after classes to do what I love. I have been doing pet care for many years and it comes naturally to me. I love to be outdoors and walking dogs will allow me to do that. Making connections with pets is special to me as I am really good with animals. I will care for clients pets the same way I care for my own. Depending on the pet’s personality type I will give as much attention as possible, lots of playtime, and walks. But, on the other hand if their personality is more relaxed I might let them do what they want while still being there for them.
“Arielle was great! She took such good care of Booker and sent lots of updates and photos which I really appreciated. She was easy to communicate with and we came home to a very happy and well taken care of dog.”
About: I’ve owned, loved, and cared for dogs my entire life, including seniors and rescue dogs. One of my dogs lived to be **19 years old**. I rescued her after her previous owner moved to France, and she even understood commands in both **French and English!** She spent her senior years being loved and spoiled alongside my Havanese, Bella. I rescued **Bella at six months old**, and I’ve had the pleasure of spoiling her ever since. She is 13 now. She’s still going strong and remains one of the sweetest dogs I know. I’m also very comfortable caring for larger dogs. I love my daughters’ Boxer and Pit Bull mix and frequently care for them—even letting them pile into bed with me at night. Dogs seem to communicate with us in their own way, and I’ve always felt that I understand them well. **Your dog wouldn’t just be a job to me—they would be treated like family.** As a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver, I will ensure your pets receive plenty of attention, affection, patience, and love—and will be treated like family. I am currently semi-retired and therefore have plenty of time to pet-sit and the flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I'm available on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard to accommodate small to medium dogs. We have lots of sidewalks for sniffing the roses and other lovely scents along the way. My home is casual and very dog-friendly. I also live in a gated, well-lit neighborhood in case your dog needs to go out at night.
“Kylie has become Chance’s bestie. She was great with him, sending us pictures daily so it was obvious Chance didn’t skip a beat in his routine from when we left til we got home. She took care of some potted flowers too. We would book her again in a heartbeat. I may have said that in a previous post but it’s still true.”
“Makinna was great with our MJ! She sent up dates and pictures letting us know how things were going. MJ really liked Makinna when she came to our home to meet us & MJ. She was great about following up on arrival and departure times which made things easy for me while dealing w hectic airports etc. The house was clean and orderly which is important for us.”
“Shaun was great! Very responsive and accommodating while we were away- sent lots of pics and let us know everything was going ok. Great communication and seemed to truly enjoy his time with our dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Oscar and Ava were very nervous when they saw my suitcase but Sydney came in and saved the day. We had regular check ins and seeing my pups at ease put me at ease. The pups were sad to see her go. Would definitely recommend.”
“Ellie is nothing short of an angel! We were out of town and our senior dog had her first seizure and Ellie was there and took great care of her. She transported her to the emergency vet and gave the vet all the important details they needed in taking her in. We don't know what we would have done if Ellie wasn't there.”
“Jessie helped provide good care for our older dog while we were out of town, and helped with walks/medications as needed. Very grateful for her care and easy/quick communication.”
“Ava was amazing! She provided plenty of updates and went above and beyond when taking care of my puppy (who’s a bit of a handful). As an example, My door was broken and not unlocking while I was on a plane and Ava stayed there the whole time working with maintenance and a locksmith in order to save the pup. Additionally she even gave him a new toy and plenty of new snacks! Will definitely be using Ava if we can!”
“Hannah was super!! My doggies absolutely loved her ❤️ she followed care instructions and went above and beyond to make sure the pups were happy, exercised and had plenty of attention 😀 thanx Hannah!! 😊 eevee and otis were so happy when we got home 😀”
About: I was always the one growing up that took on the caretaker role when it comes to animals. Making sure all animals are fed and have clean water and bowls. My favorite part of caring for pets is walks and playing with them. When my dog had babies I was there the entire time making sure mama was doing well, giving attention and making sure i could give support when needed. I grew up with multiple dogs at once and I understand it takes time and effort to care for them. I am available after 2pm monday through Fridays and on weekends I am free all day. I am looking for some companionship with cute dogs as I don't own a dog currently. I actually had an ankle injury in the beginning of this year and I am recovering well, just need extra cash to pay for some medical bills. I would love to spend my other free time spending it with your fur babies. I am new to rover app. Gaining your animals trust is very important to me. I will always be watching your animal when taken outside even if your yard is gated.

Morgan was fantastic to work with - she took care of our senior Saint Bernard while we were away and we came back to a happy healthy pup. She sent pictures, kept me updated on how things were going, and even helped clean up after our big girl. Greatly appreciate her communication and all the love and care she gave to our pup and home while she was here!

The average cost of House Sitting in Maddens is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 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 Maddens 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 Maddens 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 Maddens 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.
