“Kaylee was a big help to us. She agreed to the sitting on short notice and that enabled us to attend a funeral in Taiwan. The house was kept in good condition - she washed the sheets and towels, as well as the dishes. Chloe is a rescue pup with anxiety issues, and Kaylee was able to help her deal with our absence.”
“5* ! I was nervous about leaving my cats and dog for the first time. Marsha and Kirt were beyond amazing. They send loads of pictures, kept us updated and were very warm people. Highly recommend”
“Kirk came prepared at our meet and greet with a form for me to complete to give him any information he may need while I was away. He was very accommodating for us even when we had a delay in returning home and stayed later with our dog. I loved getting so many photos of my dog that let me know she was okay and feeling safe and comfortable with him. I will definitely request him for future dog sitting.”
“Ian took just great care of Watson! He provided great communication to us and even offered to check on him again if our travel plans were delayed. We really appreciate his care of our pup! Will definitely be calling Ian again!”
About: I've been providing reliable pet care for my mom's friend's dog for the past couple of years, giving me hands-on experience with daily feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. In addition, I completed the Pre-Vet Tech Program at Tri-Tech Skills Center, where I gained experience caring for a variety of animals. Through the program, I learned proper animal handling, health and safety practices, basic animal care, and the importance of recognizing signs of stress or illness in different species. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I'm available for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and can adapt my schedule to meet each pet's individual needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I also keep the home clean, ensure pets always have fresh water, and provide updates with photos and messages so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they're away.
“Paulina was above and beyond that I could have asked for. Constant updates and pictures, taking those extra steps to even tidy up and clean the messy floor. It was a blessing to know my babies were taken care of and a huge relief to come home and know everyone and everything was in good shape. Will absolutely ask for her help in future trips and needs. She is a wonderful person and sitter.”
About: Back when I was a kid, my family owned a cattery that I helped take care of. We owned 32 cats and 1 dog at one time. Growing up, I learned how to truly take care of animals, helping deliver kittens during birth, bottle feeding, and training them to be tolerant, friendly, handleable, and able to take walks on a harness and leash. I've had many different pets since then, including a snake, fish, and cats of my own. I've always loved animals of all kinds and I've had a unique kinship with almost every animal I meet. I commonly hear "They're usually not this friendly" around new pets I meet, and at parties and other events, I'm usually found petting the dog on the floor somewhere. Since then, I've been helping my friend with their dog sitting business and decided to venture forth on my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently in between positions, so I have complete and open availability to help take care of your pets. If you have a special needs pet, I can work with you to provide more intensive care. I want to learn more about how you treat your pets so I can provide the same loving environment that they are used to. I'd love to be your pet-parent substitute.
About: I’ve been a trusted pet-sitter since I was 11. I have experience volunteering at TROT with my high school’s National Honor Society. As a valedictorian, I am responsible and trustworthy to handle your pets with the utmost love and care! I recently graduated from high school and have no restrictive schedule thanks to summer break! I’m available Wednesday-Sunday at any hours, while Monday-Tuesday I am available from 8am-2pm, and 5pm-10pm! I am able to drive myself anywhere in the Tri-Cities to care for your animals at home. I have a fenced yard and two kitties who love playtime, but can be put away in a room if needed!
“Tamara is amazing! She did such a wonderful job house-sitting with our dog and cat while we were out of town. She knew that we were stressed about leaving since our dog has reactivity issues and severe separation anxiety. Our dog and cat loved her and we appreciated the extra care she gave them to make sure they were comfortable while we were gone. She also sent numerous updates on our fur babies to alleviate our stress as well.”
About: I work as a veterinary assistant at an urgent care facility in town. I’ve worked in urgent care going on 4 years and general practice for 2 years. I occasionally cat sit and dog sit. I have a lot of knowledge in my career but I also love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, the clients and I just overall enjoy the joy they bring to me! I work 3 12s but I am able to stop in the check on the fur babies on my lunches. I also am very flexible with times I need to go take care of them on my days off as well. I have two kitties of my own. I don’t plan on being able to board pets at my own home due to me renting a house without a fenced backyard.
“Debbie was great! Great communication, photos, and my dog seemed to really like her. My dogs were happy and healthy when we returned. She also watered all my outside flowers while I was away.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child, my mother and I had ran a rescue up until four years ago and even then we still took in animals to help Fuzzball animal rescue, I love taking care of animals and have my entire life from rescues to my own animals! I’m currently looking for a part time job so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups, and kitties. I enter college in the fall and know my schedule will still allow for me to take care of animals so if you are looking for maybe even a permanent dog walker, pet sitter or anything I am available! My house has always had animals, from cats, ferrets, Guinea pigs, turtles, chickens, cows, dogs, chinchillas, and at once our most amount of rescues we had was 104 Guinea pigs, and getting them adopted was my favorite part, to see them all go to loving homes.
“Briana was very communicative the whole time we were out of town! We have a large dog that is very picky with new people and she took great care of him! We received several photos and videos over the four days we were gone. Definitely recommend!”
About: Taken care of all types of animals including farm animals. I’m an avid animal walker as well. I’ve worked on a farm, I’m also trained with horses. I work a daytime, split shift so I am able to come back and forth to check on any animals I may be caring for. I offer both my home and services at a clients' home, however, I do prefer sitting at my clients’ homes as it often less stressful for the animal.
“This is the first time I have used Rover because for many years we have had our friends available to us, until this trip. I found it to be a really easy process and without it, we never would have found Faith! I am so thankful! Faith is amazing! Our "boys" loved her right away! She followed my instructions, and was able to get one our dogs to do something we have a hard time doing ourselves! This demonstrated the trust he had in Faith immediately. If you are looking for a trustworthy, dependable, kind, and loving sitter for your fur babies in your home, then I highly recommend you hire Faith!! You will be very happy you did!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Mathews Corner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mathews Corner on Rover is $31.08 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 207 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mathews Corner. 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 Mathews Corner 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 Mathews Corner 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 Mathews Corner 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.

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.
