“Karachi provided excellent car for dog and home while we were away on vacation. She was very responsive to my messages and she helped to coordinate a trip to the vet when our dog exhibited some health issues. She left our home in great shape. I highly recommend her for both dog and house sitting.”
About: I have always grown up with dogs, from chihuahuas to mastiffs. I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs, and administered all necessary medication for both, including my families current very anxious senior dog. I understand that each dog has a different temperament and different needs, and I'm happy to adjust my care to each one. I'm currently working from home 2/5 days of the week, so I can do some dog walking nearby on my lunch break, or right before/after work. I can also stay home all day with a pet if needed. I am free on weekends and have easy metro access. I'm good with play time, walks, providing diet specific meals, and anything else a pet may need, puppies/kittens to seniors. I'm happy to deal with any medications or bath time routines.
“Coralie watched our cat while we were away and was wonderful. She was very flexible with our late booking and gave Yogi fun and entertainment. We got home to a very happy and relaxed cat. She also communicated the entire time very well and the house was wonderfully clean. We’ll definitely book with Coralie again”
“Meredith was terrific! One of our kitties had come home from the hospital the week before Meredith’s visit and required close care and medication four times a day. Meredith was patient and caring and took excellent care of our recovering kitty, along with our other cat and dog. The house was neat and clean when we got back. Meredith made it possible for us to go away and have an stress-free weekend. I highly recommend her and would be thrilled to have her back any time!”
“Melissa was communicative, sent photos and was overall great to work with. Our dogs were very calm when we came back which is great! She will be watching. Then again in two weeks and are overall happy with the support.”
“Danielle took wonderful care of my sweet, anxious Pinky. Came home from a short trip and Pinky had clearly become buddies with Danielle and her partner. The regular photo updates showed the same, with Pinky relaxed instead of her often stressed out state when I’m away. I’ll definitely try to book Danielle for sitting or walks whenever I need to be away!”
“Erica was a wonderful dog sitter! Great updates and photos while she stayed with my dog in my house. Such peace of mind to know that someone so considerate was taking care of my dog. I would definitely recommend Erica!”
“Ixchel did a fantastic job house sitting and watching our dogs. She sent daily updates with photos and videos of what they were up to all day and was communicative throughout our travels, and I would book her again!”
“Our pup loved Sabria and we are very glad we found her. She checked to make sure she was giving our dog all the right meds, sent plenty of pictures and left everything in good order. I’d love to have her sit for us again!”
“Wayne was awesome, good communication, sent pictures, and was so kind and wonderful with Baxter. He stayed at our apartment and I would book him again and highly recommend him to anyone.”
“Mari was fabulous! She took great care of our pup Peach, sent pictures and updates, and asked a lot of great questions to make sure she gave Peach the best care while we were gone.”
“Savannah was so great— she stayed in touch, sent great pictures, and was patient with our dog even when he wasn’t at his best. She obviously cares a lot and that was the best peace of mind while we were away.”
“Kimberlee has been so wonderful! My babies love her so much! They are not affection starved when I get home. She also helped me and continued to care for my dogs when I was stranded at the airport because of flight cancellations.”
“Leonia is so kind and she does so well to take care of Hudson. She takes care of him like her own and when house sitting she cares for the space as she would her own. Would recommend 10 times over.”
“Juna was an absolute pleasure to work with. She pet sat for our 2 dogs and 2 cats… 3 out of the 4 are seniors and take medication and one special needs dog who went blind 6 months ago. She handled our “motley crew” with such care and grace and communicated with us regularly making sure we knew they were doing fine. We will definitely be using Juna again to care for our animals.”
“Malek was amazing! Both Xochi and Vinny were well taken care of and the house was left behind immaculate! Xochi and Vinny have found their go to dog sitter, highly recommend!”
“Xena was great with my dog, Penny! She took great pictures and sent updates throughout the day. She communicated well and I could tell my dog was well taken care of. Thanks, Xena! 😊”
About: Currently my brother and I are working from home and don't mind having your dog here to accompany us. We love furry guests! I've had/watched dogs all my life ranging from teacups to great Danes, we love them all! Working from home 5 days a week (introverts for sure) we are available most week days and weekends. Our morning and afternoon walks for its nothing to add your fur baby! We have pups and dislike crates so I let them roam the house. If the house is too foreign I will limit them to the room im occupying with occasional backyard fun and 20/30 min walks. I also send pics daily/hourly depending on owners comfort level.
About: I’ve help my friends taken care of different types of dogs when they are away. I understand dogs can feel anxious when their owners are gone, so I give them calm, consistent companionship. I’m working full time from Monday to Friday with every Friday work remotely. More availability from Friday to Sunday.My boyfriend works 100% remotely and he can help me too. I love spend time with furry friends. I care for each pet based on their individual personality, routine, and needs. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and any other parts of their normal routine. I know many cats feel most comfortable when things stay familiar, so I’ll give them space when they want it and plenty of attention when they’re ready for it. I’ll also keep their environment clean and secure and send regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Amy is a gem! We did not plan on having a small kitten along with our two adult cats when we planned a trip, and realized a house sitter was needed to continue monitoring and acclimating our cat fam. Amy responded to all communication promptly, sent pics and updates throughout, and left our house immaculate. We came home to cats who were relaxed and happy. Highly recommend Amy's services, she is a trustworthy professional.”

Rachel is amazing! We had a last minute change of plans and needed a dog sitter on short notice. Rachel was extremely communicative and kind. Our dog Barney loved her and had a wonderful time and we got such sweet pictures from her. We strongly recommend her to others and would love to have her dog sit again!!
My dog Gertie recently had a minor back injury and just finished her rest period, so I was relieved to find Katie to take care of her while I was out of town. Katie was great and sent me lots of updates and pictures. Gertie loved her! She also left my place clean and even washed the sheets and blankets before she left! Highly recommended!
Halle was excellent! I hired her to look after my dog Penny while I took a day trip, and Halle took excellent care of Penny. Plenty of walks, updates with photos, and she reached out when she had any questions. From the photos it looked like Penny had a very good time with Halle, and I will definitely be reaching out to Halle again the next time I need someone to watch Penny. I highly recommend her!
Toni spent three days in our apartment with our aging cavachon and it was a great success. Our dog is usually standoffish with strangers but she was very comfortable with Toni, who sent us photos and texts on how things were going, including daily medications. I would enthusiastically recommend Toni.
Everything was perfect start to finish. Good communication with our booking request. Sabria took the time to meet our dog Mandy and get to know the lay of the land. Reached out often while we were away to check in and send photos. Clearly loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. Our dog has a few issues on both behavior and medical fronts. Zero issues on her watch. We’re super relieved to have Sabria in our midst.
Savannah did an awesome job taking care of my dog. She was very responsive and sent me detailed updates and pictures my dog. She took him out for walks and played with him. He slept on her bed and for that time she replaced us as his care giver which was very comforting. She was very attentive to my instructions and followed them responsibly. She left my house as she found it ..all very clean. I will definitely reach out to her again to take care of Chego.
Arda & Gabrielle were incredible with our 50lb border collie! We received daily updates and when we got home, our pup was relaxed and happy. They took great care of our home as well - everything was very clean and tidy when we returned. We hope to rebook with them soon!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Martins Additions is $78 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 10,570 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Martins Additions. 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 Martins Additions 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 Martins Additions 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 Martins Additions 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.
