“Caitlin took excellent care of Gwen and Arthur plus, she kept me updated throughout her stay with regular messages and plenty of photos, which gave me great peace of mind. She went above and beyond when Gwen wasn’t feeling her best, preparing chicken and rice for her and making sure she was comfortable. She was attentive, communicative, dependable, and wonderful to work with. I completely trusted her with Gwen’s care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter. Arthur is pretty low maintenance, but she gave him great care as well. I would recommend Caitlin and I will definitely rebook with her again. Excellent experience all around!”

“V is amazing with all of our babies (1 dog and 3 cats), and gives them so much love and attention! They will definitely miss her! I love the updates, pictures and videos! It's a great feeling knowing they are in great care while you are away! We will be booking V again in the future!”

About: Hey! My name is Sausha and I grew up with animals around my whole life. I have had hampsters, guinea pigs, birds, cats, dogs you name it, I have taken care of it. I am located 5 minutes from Downtown! Huge gated backyard to get all the zoomies out and we also have lots of parks nearby if your pet wants a change of scenery. I am currently a cat owner, his name is Cooter and he's a sweetheart who gets along with other pets with ease! I am looking to help other animal lovers out who need someone to take care of their fur babies when they arn't able to do it themselves. Reach out to me so we can work something out and make sure your pets have a safe, clean and caring place to stay. Drop - Offs only please! I currently work from home so I will be able to be with your pet at all times and give them all the attention they need! I keep pets happy with tasty meals (or the meals you provide), fresh water, and plenty of playtime! From belly rubs to fetch marathons, I provide love, care, and cozy naps, all while ensuring they’re safe, comfy, and well cared for.

About: I have cared for several pets in my lifetime with several years of experience. I love animals sometimes more than people, but I genuinely treat them the way that I would treat my own and want nothing more than a comfortable experience with you and your fur babies. I work full-time, but I get off work at 4:30 every single day and am free every single evening and the weekends. I’m free as well as long as I have a schedule set and place I will treat and care for your pet just as I would my own. I will take care of things and do things as you ask. I love animals and I treat peoples things with love and respect.

“Emily and Taylor were fantastic!! We searched for some time to find the perfect match to come and house sit/dog sit for our German Shepherds and now we have found it with them!!! We have one that is a senior and one that can be anxious- so it has to be a good fit all the way around- they came out and solid two visits prior to the actual weekend house sit. They showed up on time for the visit; communicated throughout the weekend; sent us pictures; and asked questions for clarification before the visit and during if needed. Their personalities are great for our dogs who warmed up to them ASAP; they took fantastic care of them as well as of our house. We will continue to use them in the future and highly recommend them to others.”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of pet sitting for others for many years. From puppies who are still training to seniors who need lots of extra care. I grew up around dogs and cats in my youth from our beloved Shetland sheepdog who we enjoyed 12 years with to taking in strays and fostering dogs and cats for periods of time. In my adulthood, I’ve raised my mixed breed, Louie, since he was 4 weeks old, and he just turned 7. I look forward to caring for your animals in whatever way is helpful! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time during the week to care for (or just hang out with) your furry friends! In addition, I have most weekends available for pet care from pet sitting at your residence to walks, feeding, etc. For me, pets are family, and that means my top priority is maintaining their safety. From our initial interaction, I want you to feel confident that I will do everything in my power to keep your animals protected and loved. I hope to be an extension of the care and love provided by their owners!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Matrimony on Rover is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $42 per night. 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 445 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Matrimony. 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 Matrimony 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 Matrimony 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Matrimony 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.

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 .

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.
