“Ava and our pup have formed a great bond and we appreciate that we have someone we can rely on to watch him when we go out of town. Ava always sends updates and photos and we know our pup has a great time!”

“We are so grateful for the care and attention Jamie gave to our 2 dogs. One of which is senior with special needs. She shared photos every day with updates. Jamie is highly recommended and will book again!”

“Courtney was great! We felt very comfortable being away knowing that our pets were getting so much love and attention. We had clear and frequent communications and a plenty of pictures confirming all the good things happening. We'd (and our critters) would be very happy to see Courtney again.”

“Rachel stayed with Daisy for 5 nights and had great communication! She sent lots of photos and updates and Daisy obviously loves spending time with her! Highly recommend booking with Rachel and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Owen was fantastic. Not only was he responsive but the dogs were well taken care of. They were walked, fed, played with, and given a lot of love. While he was watching the pups he also kept the house clean. I got daily pictures ands updates which helped to put my mind at ease about my pups while I was on vacation. I will use Owen again”

“Karen was great with our four animals (dogs and cats)! Karen was communicative, provided great updates, and let us know when one of our cats was having a minor potential health issue. Would recommend and I know our pets are already looking towards when Karen will be back to see them again!”
“Emily is outstanding! We have two recently adopted rescues that came from a horrible situation, so they are understandably skittish. In addition, one of our older rescues is anxious around strangers, so we usually end up doing a few meet and greets to warm her up. Emily only required one meet and greet; all of our dogs were out and running around her within ten minutes, which is truly rare. This tells you how gentle and calming Emily’s energy is around pets. Her background as a vet tech made us especially comfortable given our pups’ context. The dogs had a great time with Emily and she sent plenty of updates. We have already booked her to take care of them for several future trips. You can’t go wrong with her!”


About: I have grown up with medium to large sized dogs my whole life. I have experience with very friendly dogs and dogs that cannot play with others as well as puppies to older dogs. I have cared for my own pets and friends while growing up and can be trusted with any task to ensure your pets needs and safety! I can offer dog walking in the mornings (7-9am) or afternoons (4-7pm) during the week or anytime during the weekends. I am available on the weekends to check-in or stay with your animal overnight as well. I can check-in and care for your animal during the day or overnight at clients homes. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, bathed, played with and let outside for their needs. I am comfortable with any specific instructions from the owners as well (medication that needs to be taken, crate training, etc).
“Jerad did an awesome job with Samson. Followed the instructions perfectly and was a great friend to our little guy. Took him on walks and sent lots of updates. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Caring, dependable, and eager to earn your trust. I’m attentive, responsible, and truly love providing safe, loving care. New to this service, but have been taking care of family pets for years. I'm available for pet walks or drop-in visits anytime after 4 PM on weekdays and most of the day on weekends. Whether it's an evening stroll or a quick check-in, I'm here to help! I provide respectful and reliable care by closely following the owner’s instructions. During walks or visits, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I stick to their routine, give them attention and affection, and always keep their owners informed of any eventuality.
“Linda was fantastic. Periodically we received photos of our boys while we were gone. Linda was in frequent contact with us. She even washed the sheets on her bed before she left. We highly recommend her!”

“We are so lucky to have found Snowden on Rover! She house sat for 5 nights over Christmas for our senior rescue dog, Maggie, and everything was perfect. Snowden is quick to respond to all communication and Maggie immediately took to her so we knew she was in good hands. Snowden made sure Maggie took her morning meds, took her for walks, and sent us daily pictures. When we got back, Snowden had done laundry, made the bed, washed all the dog dishes and left the house in great shape. We definitely plan to book her again!”
“Trishia quickly connected with my pups. They seemed to love her and she them. The pups seemed to be very happy and healthy when we returned after our 5 days away. They had never stayed with someone other than family but Trishia walked right in and won them over.”


About: I’ve always been around animals—I currently have a dog and three cats, so I’m used to daily care, feeding, and handling different personalities. I’ve also helped take care of my mom’s and brother’s pets over the years, so I’m comfortable stepping into someone else’s routine and making sure their animals are taken care of the right way. I’m patient, reliable, and I actually pay attention to details like feeding schedules, behavior, and making sure pets feel comfortable while you’re away. My schedule is pretty consistent, so I can plan around your pet’s needs. I’m available most days and can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on what’s needed. I already take care of my own pets daily, so feeding, walks, and check-ins are part of my routine. I’m flexible and good with sticking to whatever schedule your pet is used to. I treat other people’s pets the same way I treat my own. I pay attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior so your pet stays comfortable and stress-free. I have experience with multiple animals at once, including my own dog and cats, so I’m used to different personalities and energy levels. I keep a clean, safe environment and can follow any specific instructions you have, including crating if needed.
“Emme watched our Rhodesian Ridgeback while we were out of town for the weekend and was wonderful! She was professional and communicative and I really felt like our dog was in good hands. I’d absolutely work with her again!”

“Alexis was very responsive and took great care of my dog. She sent updates and was flexible to support the times I needed. She left my home exactly as she found it. I would definitely ask Alexis to watch my dog again.”

“Nicole stayed at our place to watch our cat for almost two weeks and did a fantastic job! She was responsive and checked in regularly, and we came home to a happy cat. Our cat is very social and needs a lot of interaction and playtime, and it gave us peace of mind knowing Nicole was looking after him. Plus she took great care of our house and kept our plants alive. We’ll happily call on her again to take care of our cat when we’re out of town!”

“Samantha stayed in our home with our two girls. She updated me everyday and was a very respectful house guest! Everything was tidy and just where we had left it. The girls were happy and I doubt they missed us at all 😂. I would definitely recommend Sam!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mayo
Lucille was fantastic!! She kept us informed on their day and the administration of his medications. When she was concerned about something she called us and gave us updates every day. She also took care of the house by removing the trash etc! It was also so obvious that she loves animals. I will definitely book her again!! Thanks Lucille for making my trip so much more enjoyable knowing that my dog was in such good hands!!

My two cats are still adjusting to a recent move and Renea was wonderful despite one of my cats being a total peeing nightmare! Renea was very communicative and sent lots of updates which was super helpful as I was away on a stressful trip. She is very knowledgable and patient if you’re looking for a great sitter she is it!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mayo on Rover is $42 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,976 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mayo. 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 Mayo 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 Mayo 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 Mayo 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.
