“Amanda was great. Pictures every day with very happy dogs. A very good communicater. Our home looked just like it did when we left. We are very happy and will use Amanda again. Thank you!!!! Blake and Kathryn”
“Natalee was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time ever using Rover or any similar service, and she completely put all of our worries and concerns at ease. From the very beginning, her professionalism, communication, and genuine care stood out. She was incredibly accommodating, understanding, and kept us updated throughout the entire process, which gave us so much peace of mind. We truly could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
“Suzy stayed at our house while we were gone and took care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats. She was extremely professional.. Everyone seemed so happy and taken care of when we got back. Highly suggest booking with her! I will be booking with her again in August.”
“Audrey did a wonderful job with our two rambunctious German Shepherds. She is a good listener, attentive, and punctual. We got lots of great feedback while we were away, and when she needed additional information, was quick to contact us. She was housesitting/petsitting for us - when we returned, house was immaculate. She approaches this work as a real professional. Happy we found her, and fortunate to have her back in a few short days!”
“Mika is great! She has helped us out twice now and we have nothing but good things to say. Our dog looked disappointed when we came home, he loved her so much! Took great care of him and kept us informed daily. Thanks MIka!”
“Monique because it’s delightful! My dog loved her! She took my dog for a walk and played with her. She reported with pictures couple times a day. My house was in great order when I came home. She even pulled the sheets off the bed and washed them for me. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her service.”
“Once again, Winifred has provided excellent service in caring for our house and 2 dogs, while we were on vacation. She sent daily updates and photos letting us know how things were going and it’s such a relief to know everything was well taken care of. The dogs both love her - they get lots of love and attention! We highly recommend Winifred to anyone who needs animal care.”
“Tierra was awesome! She took great care of our Raven! She had to administer 3 different medications, kept in contact, and sent pictures! Raven loves Tierra!”
“First experience with Rover and we are so pleased to have had Sean watch our two pups! Our 80 lb girl is standoffish, but she immediately went to Sean and followed him around. Our 100lb boy immediately claimed Sean as his best friend. Sean was very good about keeping in contact and sharing pictures. He spent a lot of time playing outdoors and giving them quality time indoors. Working from home allowed Sean to stay and that was very important to us. We found Sean to be a warm and compassionate person and absolutely the best person for us! If you want the best for your pets you need Sean! We are very grateful to have met him!”
“Angelina was wonderful! She communicated clearly throughout the stay and kept me updated with photos of my fur baby, Roku, which I really appreciated. Roku seemed to really enjoy her company, and it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Angelina to anyone looking for a kind, reliable pet sitter!”
About: I’m not claiming to be the best pet sitter, but here’s what I do know. I love animals & I love a clean house! A little about me—I'm a 51 year old, mom of 2 twenty year old college students, & a big wellness chaser. I absolutely love animals and have always enjoyed caring for pets as if they were my own. Spending quality time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to, whether that's going for neighborhood walks, playing outside, or simply keeping them company. As an active tennis and pickleball player & runner, I appreciate being outdoors as often as possible. I also understand how important it is to leave a home exactly as I'd want someone to leave mine. I take pride in being clean, organized, and respectful of other people's spaces. My goal is always for homeowners to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a spotless, welcoming home. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules and administering medications as well. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m an active person, and caring for a pet complements my lifestyle perfectly. During the week, I easily schedule morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship around my work schedule (which is flexible), and my tennis and pickleball activities. On weekends, my schedule is even more flexible, allowing for extra walks, outdoor adventures, and quality time. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for is always a priority. I understand that leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, and any special preferences or routines you’ve established. I also believe a calm, tidy home helps pets feel secure. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I do my own, keeping it clean, locked, and well maintained. I’ll make sure your pet has plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while also watching for any changes in behavior or health. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving excellent care until you return home.
“Rachel is a Super Rover!! She loves our dog and we love HER! She leaves the house spotless and giver our dog the best care and attention! If there was a 6th star, we'd giver her 6!!”
“Rebecca was very friendly and informative while watching our little Luka. She kept in touch and followed up on everything. Thank you for watching little luka and for being so flexible!”
“Alex was so good with our two goldens and kitty while we were out of town! She even got up every day to walk them in the early morning since it was a 100 degree weekend. Very good communication and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Above & beyond!”
“Brooke did a great job with our fur babies and kept our plants alive during an unusual hot spell. We are fortunate to have a large fenced yard the dogs can spend time in, and Brooke made sure to bring them in from the hottest times of day for cooling breaks. I appreciated that she could spend the night at the house to be available for nighttime potty needs!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mead
Abigail is amazing! I have an easy but not-so-easy senior dog dealing with doggy dementia and Abby took care of my baby with such genuine care. Just the week prior to my trip I was so full of anxiety leaving my girl, but Abby did a phenomenal job keeping me up to date with her and easing any anxiety I had. I had a great trip, and London had a wonderful time with her new friend.
Meredith was available on late notice to watch our particular pup and it went fantastic! She is a great communicator and we felt very comfortable having her stay in our home. Meredith sent photos and updates while we were away, and gave a great summary (meds given, food ate and last potty break) before she left. Our 4 yo anxious dog loved her and we would absolutely hire her again. Thanks Meredith!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mead on Rover is $57.94 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 759 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.

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.
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.
