“Jennifer is the best sitter you can have. This was our first time using her while out of town. My dog requires meds and has severe anxiety and he was so calm and comfortable with her. She kept us updated daily with videos and pics which made us more relaxed. The puppers unexpectedly needed some stitches a few days before our trip and required some extra care and Jennifer was absolutely great about it and did all the extra needed things. We had pre visits due to his anxiety and she came to these and walked him. She walked him 2 times a day while we were gone and he loved it. My neighbors raved how great Jennifer is. I am afraid she will be booked the next time I need her because she is highly sought out. Not only did she take great care of my puppers she washed her bedding and remade the bed. She swept the floors and took out the trash. I really cannot say enough good things about her. We are so greatful we were able to find her.”
“Madeline was great with our dog. She did an overnight stay and sent us pictures throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable knowing our dog was being well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you!!”
“Amanda was GREAT! She kept up very informed on our dogs and even made them lick bowls to keep them entertained. She left our house in better condition than we left it for her which is always a plus. She will be our new sitter going forward. Highly recommend her, this was a great experience for our first time ever using Rover! Thanks Amanda!”
About: Getting to love on your "best friend" and keep them company or give them potty breaks would be a great privilege! I have had dogs all my life. My last one had to be assisted to walk for quite some time and required lots of pills. For the last 5 years, I have been house sitting for my two sons who each have two dogs. I would prefer to meet and greet so that you can decide if I would be a good fit. Although I have never done this for profit, I do believe I can make you happy. My neighbors can provide a reference if need be. I am currently unemployed and am available any time. I would like to be free to keep doctor's appointments. However, if that is not agreeable to you, I try to reschedule any appointments. I will make sure your fur babies have several potty breaks during the day and right before bed if I am staying in your home. I love to pet and play with them - according to their desires. Of course I can provide lots of pictures with my cell phone if you like.
“Yvette did a great job. We have an aggressive dog so our situation isn’t the easiest for most sitters but she kept everyone safe and our home clean. We would highly recommend her.”
“Avery does work a full time job so keep that in mind if you have a strict feeding schedule for your dogs which was a bit of a miscommunication on our part. She did give us updates as soon as she got home and cared well for our dogs. Overall, Avery did a good job watching them.”
About: As a lifelong dog and cat owner with four years of dedicated pet-sitting experience, I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to your pet's unique routine and personality. Over the years, I have successfully managed a wide range of real-world scenarios, from maintaining strict potty-training and crate schedules for energetic puppies to providing gentle, patient care for senior dogs who require frequent bathroom breaks and strict, time-sensitive medication administration. I love high-energy breeds that need structured exercise, but I am equally skilled with cats, sharing my home with a few of my own and confidently handling all types of feline behavior. Whether your cat is a clever escape artist requiring strict doorway vigilance, or a sassier kitty who tends to bite and scratch, I know how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and keep them safe and comfortable. When your pets are with me, you can rest easy knowing they are receiving the highest level of reliable, vigilant, and loving care. I work part-time as a barista, which gives me incredible flexibility throughout the day to dedicate to your pets. Because my schedule is adaptable, I can easily adjust my sleeping and waking hours to match whatever routine your animal needs. You won't have to worry about disrupted routines or missed doses. Whether I am caring for pets in my own home or yours, my primary goal is to provide a loving, calm, and predictable environment where they can truly thrive. I focus on creating a balanced routine that offers plenty of dedicated, high-energy playtime to burn off steam, paired with lots of peaceful downtime for them to rest and relax. I mirror their usual home environment as closely as possible to minimize anxiety, ensuring they feel completely safe, loved, and right at home.
“Keri was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of my home and my cat while I was away. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. My cat was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned, and my house was in perfect condition. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, and I would gladly book them again.”
“Liz was fantastic! She sent pictures daily, kept in the loop, and made sure we knew our babies were in good hands. Our dogs aren't overly difficult to care for, but Liz kept in constant contact with us, which is very important to us. She took such good care of them, that after we got home, they spent the first evening looking for her and whining because she had left. 10/ 10. Will continue to use Liz any time we need a dogsitter.”
“Maya took good care of our puppy. Everyone knows caring for a puppy is work. One day he’ll be a dog and much less work! He was happy and tired when we returned home. He went looking for her after he got all the love and attention from us. All very good signs. Thank you!”
“Kaylan was great! Our 4 dogs can be a lot so I was very nervous leaving them with someone outside of family. Kaylan did a meet and greet which I appreciated. While gone, she sent pics and updates, which I loved. It made our vacation more enjoyable knowing we didn’t have to worry. Not only did she take care of our babies but she also treated our home as her own. I highly recommend her and would happily use her again.”
“We had such an amazing experience with Dani watching Laylah! She went above and beyond in every way and treated Laylah like she was her own. While we were away, Laylah unfortunately had a seizure, and Dani handled the situation with so much care, calmness, and compassion. She kept us updated the entire time, made sure Laylah was safe and comfortable, and truly gave us so much peace of mind during a very stressful moment. She also sent tons of updates, pictures, and messages throughout the stay, which made us feel so connected and reassured. It was obvious Laylah was getting so much love and attention. We are beyond grateful for her kindness, communication, and the level of care she provided. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring for their pets!”
About: I am a true dog lover. I grew up with 2 dachshunds in my house for 11 years. I know how to care for them, keeping them active, following the eating, walking, and bathroom schedules. Your dog is in very good hands! I’m available in the afternoons during the week (I work in office every day) and am available all day on the weekends. My dogs were like family growing up so I will treat yours like that too. I like to live my life with a positive and happy attitude so I will share that with all interactions. I am also quick to respond and I understand that life can sometimes surprise us so last minute notices are welcomed. After all a dog is a man’s best friend :) I work full time in office so generally only have availability in the afternoon during the week or on weekends. Weekdays: anytime between 6pm - 8am Weekends: all day (this is usually why I prefer to do overnights during the weekend) I don’t have a dog currently so there won’t be any interaction with other animals in my home. We have a dog park behind my apartment complex. I follow the owner’s instructions on how they want me to care for the dog, having them on the leash at all times and/or if they feel comfortable allowing me to take the dog to a park where they may interact with others. It’s up to the owner.
“Anna did an amazing job with Mabel. She was communicative, sent photos, and treated our home with respect. I didn’t have to worry and I will be hiring her again soon!!! Highly recommended!”
“Madison was the best! This was our first time using rover / leaving our mini labradoodle with anyone outside of our family. She was so responsive and sent us a bunch of pics! She constantly kept us up to date on the weekend so we didn’t have to stress about Millie while we were gone. Would highly recommend using her!”
“Lauren was amazing!! I have two high-energy dogs who absolutely love to play, and Lauren did such a great job keeping them happy and entertained. She played with them plenty, sent lots of updates and pictures, and was so great with communication throughout her stay. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was with both of them. I would definitely recommend Lauren! she’s the best!”
“Fantastic!!!!! Lola was soooo happy with her care, as was I. I felt comfortable that Lola was in great hands. She got lots of play and cuddle time. My instructions were followed to the letter. The house was well cared for as well. I was so impressed with the courtesy and professionalism, as well as the level of caring. And it was so nice to come home to a clean house and a happy pup! I will definitely rebook 😄🐕❤️”

Kaylee was wonderful! She communicated very well and paid attention to every detail. I could tell Picasso had a great time and was well cared for because, after Kaylee left, he slept for almost two hours—something that rarely happens because of his separation anxiety. I would definitely trust Kaylee with Picasso again and will absolutely be using her services in the future!
Sydnee is a life savor. I don’t trust anyone with my two Dobermans that are truly my two kids, but I fully trust her. She truly loves your pets like her own and there’s no need to worry when she is watching them. When my Doberman was healing from his multiple surgeries, she took the absolute best care of him when I had to leave him to return to work. I can’t stress enough that she is definitely the person you want watching your furry loved ones. 🐾 🤍
Melissa did a great job of taking care of our dogs! She went above and beyond to take care of them- taking them on walks, spending lots of time with them, etc. She was also great at communication and letting us know via message and pictures how our dogs were doing. Thank you Melissa!
Shannon did a fantastic job watching my cat over the 4th of July! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure my cat was comfortable and well taken care of while I was away. She provided updates, followed instructions, and gave me peace of mind throughout the trip. I came home to a happy healthy cat and everything in great shape. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter and gladly book with her again!
Alicia was awesome! She showed up to our meet and greet incredibly prepared, and I knew immediately I could trust her. She sent a ton of photos the whole time I was gone and the house was in great shape when I got home. Definitely would recommend and will book with her again for sure.
Emma is amazing! I have two high-energy Border Collies, and she handled them like a pro. From the start, Emma was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced with energetic dogs. Throughout the stay, I received frequent updates and tons of adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. I never once felt worried — I knew my dogs were in excellent hands. We came home to happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved dogs. I highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Melody Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Melody Hills on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,160 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Melody Hills. 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 Melody Hills 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 Melody Hills 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 Melody Hills 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Melody Hills. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
