“Bri took care of our 4 pets with ease and care. She was super communicative throughout the stay and was an absolute dream to work with. Highly recommend!”
“As usual Julia was great. She's always on time, if not early, and the puppies love when she stays with them. We get pics and updates while we're away which makes us feel so much better about someone else caring for them. Julia is always the first person we think of when we have travel planned and need someone to stay at our house.”

“Emma is very conscientious and thorough when taking care of our pets and home. She is very in tune with the animals needs. Felt very secure having Emma care for our loved ones!”
“Bree was an excellent housesitter for us and took great care of Nacho. She was friendly, responsive, and respectful throughout, following our instructions perfectly and communicating clearly while we were away. She was also flexible with her start and end times on either end of our trip which was really helpful for us. I’d definitely have Bree take care of Nacho again.”
“Emma is a great dog sitter. She was punctual, kept me well informed throughout, and regularly sent pictures and updates, which gave me real peace of mind. She also left the house clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Alicia was wonderful with Bernie and Lucy! Bernie has some special needs, so it’s really important to us to have someone who is attentive, patient, and comfortable with his routine. Alicia did a great job with both dogs over the long weekend, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, caring, and clearly gave them lots of love and attention. We’d happily have her watch them again and definitely recommend her!”
“Taylor is a very communicative, enthusiastic, and attentive cat and house sitter. She provided lots of photos and updates throughout her stay, and we came back to a tidy home and happy cat. We will be booking with Taylor again if we can!”
“Ellie is literally the best. She is so great with the pups and sends pupdates all day! All my bbs get so exited when they see she is back. She is clean and tidy & super respectful. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Shaolin was fantastic! I could tell my pup was in good hands, she got comfortable with Shaolin right away. She did a great job at providing pictures while staying at my home. The updates were wonderful and much appreciated. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Kelly did a wonderful job taking care of my two pets (dog & cat) while I was away! This was my first time booking with Kelly and from initial request emails, to setting up a meet and greet and throughout the entire stay she was very communicative. I never had to ask for updates as she'd make sure to send them daily with pictures which I always really appreciate. 10/10 recommend booking with Kelly and I'll definitely be booking in the future.”
“Marianne provided exceptional care despite icey weather causing a 48hr power outage & a tree to fall into our driveway. My hounds were happy campers, even my senior who needs some extra care. I could not recommend her more highly.”
“Celeste was great! Our pups were taken care of and seemed really happy with Celeste. They’re hard to get to come around so that was wonderful! The house was clean when we got home and we came home to some pretty flowers! Huge thanks!”
“Brayden and Sara were fantastic to work with. They house sat for us for about a week while we were out of town, caring for our three dogs. We’ll be the first to admit our pups aren’t the easiest crew, but Brayden and Sara went out of their way beforehand to learn their routines, quirks, and needs so everything would run smoothly. When a few small issues came up during the stay — which we’d anticipated, knowing our dogs, they let us know right away and handled everything calmly and competently. We never once felt like we had to manage things from afar, and it was a relief to come home to three happy, well cared for dogs and a house left in great shape. We’d absolutely book them again and highly recommend them to anyone with a full house of pets.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Metzger is $55

This was Aurora’s second time pup sitting for us and she was absolutely amazing!! Our poor baby Cole broke his toe right before we had to leave on a trip and Aurora was a life saver. She took the best care of him, making sure he didn’t take off his splint, wore his cone and she even played music to help him calm and ensuring he took his meds on time (he’s a smart boy and kept spitting them out, even refusing treats). She kept us updated the whole time and we were able to actually enjoy our vacation, instead of worrying about if our pups were okay. It was even harder to watch him this time without being able to let him play or run. We really appreciate all the care Aurora took and will be using her for all our vacations. It’s been hard to find people we trust to watch our babies but we finally have!
Jessica is AWESOME! She took great care of our little guy Chewie, provided regular updates and great pictures. They did crafts together, watched Yellowstone and got lots of great walks and treats! She left our place clean and tidy as well as leaving us some yummy human treats 😊. We will for sure use Jessica again and highly recommend her to care for your special family members!
Iliana was exceptional! We have two small dogs and this was our first non-family pet sitting experience. Iliana provided excellent communication with daily updates and photos. The dogs loved their daily walks. She went above and beyond with taking care of the house as well. We came home to very happy dogs and a very clean house. We would highly recommend Iliana!
Kendall was an incredibly good and thoughtful caregiver to our dogs. Our lab is 13.5 years and is entering an anxiety phase when we are away and Kendall was just what we needed to be able to travel without feeling like we were abandoning him. We were in a pinch last minute to find someone because our usual dog/house sitter was away. She exceeded expectations and left our house better than she found it. A truly positive experience!
We had a great experience with Liz and can easily give her 5 stars! She took great care of all 4 of our pets and our home, and kept us updated with daily pictures and clear communication. We came back to happy pets and a well-cared-for house, and we'd gladly book with her again.
Al did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. Al took great care of them and our house. Good communication throughout, too. Al even brought the cats and our dog some toys, which they love! Will definitely contact Al for future bookings and highly recommend!!
Kathryn is brilliant. She's kind, attentive, thorough and was an absolute trooper when my little Zoey came down with a UTI while I was gone. She went above and beyond with a pupper that had unexpected incontinence, cleaning up after her and taking such good care of her. She even took my pup's dog bed to her own house to run it through her own, larger washing machine. She's a true 11 out of 10!! Thank you, Kathryn!
Kyle was great!! I really appreciated his fast response and ability to meet me and the dogs before watching them. He was great with the dogs and understood their personalities quickly, which was important to me. The dogs seemed very well cared for and happy when I returned home, and I really appreciated the photos and updates from him! He was proactive, thoughtful, and I look forward to having him back! I highly recommend him!
Marc is an incredible pet sitter! He recently watched our two cats, Mufasa and Simba, and our dog, Bergie, and we could not be happier with the care he provided. Taking care of three pets with different personalities and needs is no small task, but Marc handled it flawlessly. He was attentive to the cats' routines and made sure Bergie got plenty of exercise, love, and attention. Throughout our time away, Marc kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. He is reliable, professional, and genuinely cares about the well-being of animals. We came home to very happy, relaxed pets. We highly recommend Marc to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter, and we will definitely be booking him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Metzger is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 per night. On Rover, 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 4,554 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Metzger. 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 Metzger 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 Metzger 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 Metzger 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.
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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
