“Brooklyn is so kind and gentle, our dogs instantly felt comfortable with her, including our high anxiety guy who is very selective. She kept the house in perfect condition and sent updates a couple of times a day which was the perfect amount, not too much and not too infrequent. We're very pleased to say the least and hope she'll come back when we have future needs. ☺️❤️”
“Brittany housesat for our golden retriever, and she was wonderful! Excellent communication and photos daily while we were away! She also took great care of the house, and we came home to a happy pup!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Hannah as our dog sitter! She was communicative throughout (before and after as well) the stay and sent a great amount of photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind without being overwhelming. She also did a wonderful job navigating our older dog's needs while managing a small space with other, more challenging dogs that live in nearby apartments. Hannah also took wonderful care of our home and communicated throughout regarding anything she used or needed. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave our sweet pup, and we can't wait to book with her again!”
“Danielle was absolutely wonderful with our two pups and kitty. She stayed at our home and took care of it like it was her own. Our two Frenchies loved her the minute they met her. We got pics of them cuddling on the couch and playing outside in the yard! I would highly recommend Danielle for all your pet care needs. We don't leave our babies with just anyone and she is just a gem!!”
“Mariah was great to have, we had her watching our dog for 2 weeks, she was great at communicating with us and we never had to worry about our dog. We knew he was in great hands!”
“If you find a sitter on Rover who TRULY cares for and loves your animals… KEEP SUPPORTING THEM. Ryder is just amazing with our anxious dog and very attention-demanding cats. We are super grateful to have found him.”
“Matthew checked in several times during the time I was away, a few times everyday, to communicate the well-being of my dogs. I received pictures and videos. I am pretty happy with the way the house was left.”
“Claire’s calm demeanor was perfect for our anxious 9 year old rescue. She left our home clean and respected our specific wishes for our dog’s care. We will be using her again!”
“Dana took excellent care of my girl. She communicated well throughout. It was clear Ellie was loved and well cared for in my absence. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Violet was such an amazing sitter. She took care of Stella as if she was her own dog. Stella I know was shy at first but then loved hanging out with Violet. Violet followed my instructions very well and was very communicative about how Stella was doing. Definitely will book her again for upcoming trips!”
“Kayley was so amazing and very professional. She came to meet our animals before staying and took notes while we chatted. She sent photos during her stay, cleaned the sheets and towels, and even left us some treats (human and dog!) We would definitely recommend her! Thanks again!!”
“Patricia was absolutely amazing with my two boys. Bentley is quite the trouble maker and she was great with him. I loved the updates and pictures she sent me, it put my heart at ease. Very professional and great person. Came home to a clean house. I would definitely recommend her and I would have her watch my two boys again.”
“Karys is amazing! She stayed in our home with our pup for 5 days and gave us photos, videos and updates everyday. Our home was perfect and our dog happy! HIGHLY recommend ❤️”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Asjah as our sitter! She took amazing care of our 11-week-old puppy while we were away on vacation, and we felt completely at ease knowing our little one was in such caring hands. 🐶🤍 She kept us updated with pictures throughout our trip, which we really appreciated and always looked forward to. We especially loved how attentive she was, always making sure our puppy was comfortable and well cared for before calling it a day. She truly went above and beyond, even cleaning up around the house, which we absolutely did not expect or ask her to do! It was such a thoughtful gesture and showed how much care she puts into what she does. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for puppy and a clean home. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust her to watch our puppy again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and thoughtful sitter! ❤️”
“Lila stayed in our home to watch our 3 year old pup, Olive. It was our first time using Rover for in-house sitting and we absolutely love it!! Lila kept us up to date with lots of pictures and I could really tell Olive loved her too! 😌 Lila was also very communicative and flexible when we had some plane delays. Thank you so much!! Olive hopes to see you soon!!”
“Ayla and Han were so lovely! They took excellent care of our dog and were sure to send photos daily, which we loved. Ayla and Han also took great care of our home while we were gone. We came home to a clean house, which was appreciated. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”

AJ is fantastic! Took perfect care of our fur babies and our home! I’ve never before come home after vacation when pet sitter stayed and found the house cleaner then I left it! We are not slobs, but AJ left no trace! I am thrilled to have AJ as a resource every time we travel. Best pet sitter ever!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mead on Rover is $49.95 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 7,660 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mead. 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 Mead 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 Mead 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 Mead 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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
