“Bry was so caring and loving to my pets my neighbors even noticed. She is very kind, Profesional and trustworthy. She was punctual and very communicative. I will definitely hire her again. I had s great experience using Rover for the first time. I felt very reassured and relaxed about the process”
“Lucinda is super reliable and dependable, and our dog loves her. It’s such a blessing to be able to take a vacation and know that both our home and our sweet little furry baby are in good hands. Everything was neat and tidy when we got home, and our dog was in great spirits. Thank you! 🏡🐕💕”
“We came home to a well cared for happy and healthy Zuzu. Mathew was extremely good at keeping us informed with updates complimented with pictures of our dog doing all things that they do. Our home was very clean when we returned from an overseas trip and our numerous plants were well watered. Should you need a true dog person, someone who demonstrates real affection towards your pet and has the highest professional standards then Mathew is your guy. We hold him in the highest regard.”
“Heather was very prompt when we asked her to be there quite early so we could make our flight. She took notes and was very attentive when we gave her instructions on our pets needs and schedules. She asked great questions and learned all their names. We have 6 cats, 2 big dogs and 8 chickens. We did not worry once while we were gone. Heather provided text and pictures several times a day to let us know everything was great. The animals were happy and healthy when we got and the house was in good shape too! We will definitely be using Heather again.”
“Amazing pet sitter! I don’t ever want anyone else watching my babies! We have so many pets and she took care of every single one wonderfully! I got photos and updates almost daily and am so grateful that my babies were loved while I was away! I have never felt more at ease leaving them behind and they for sure loved her lots! I seriously could not recommend Julia more! 🩷”
“A pet sitting angel! I was freaking out because of a last minute cancellation from another sitter, but Alex came to my rescue and took over the booking. Turns out that the other sitter cancelling was the best thing that could have happened because Alex is everything I could ever want from a sitter. They were incredibly responsive to my messages, they gave frequent updates throughout the day complete with photos, they administered medication to both my cats, they went above and beyond to even clean up the place while I was away…but most importantly, my boys seemed to absolutely adore them! Absolutely a 10/10 ✨”
“Another great experience with Barbra! She is great at getting our anxious dog to acclimate while we are away. Great communications - we received daily updates with photos.”
“Rachel was great! We have a Saint Bernard and 2 cats and they loved her. She sent us photos while we on vacation and gave us regular updates. This was the first time we have left our pets with anyone, and Rachel was very respectful of our pets and our space. We were very apprehensive about hiring a random person to care for our pets, but the second we met Rachel we were put at ease. Rachel asked us questions about the care of our pets that we hadn't thought about, which gave us the confidence that she knows what she doing. She is amazing and we will definitely rebook with her.”
“Alyssa took great care of Leia and our home! She kept in touch regularly and sent photos of Leia throughout the day. Would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!”
“Susan did a great job on a long weekend stay with my 2 dogs. She was communicative, flexible thorough and sent regular updates. Most of all the pups were happy and calm when we arrived home. Will definitely hire again.”
“Melanie immediately bonded with my Golden Retriever. He was very calm and happy when I returned after a long trip, and it was clear she took great care of him while I was gone. Her communications with me while I traveled meant I always knew how he was doing, giving me great peace of mind.”
“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!”
“Our two dogs were instantly at ease with Kelly the moment they met her. She watched our two large dogs (60lb and 70 lb) for eleven days while we were traveling. She took each of them on a walk every morning, kept them company during the day, and spent the night at our house for their peace of mind (and ours). She coped admirably with an unexpected outbreak of ants in the kitchen that started the morning before we left, and with our inquisitive Shepherd chewing up her sunglasses. In addition, she fed our pet frogs twice weekly and watered our house plants. She sent us daily updates and pictures of the dogs. When we returned home, our dogs were happy to see us but calm and didn't appear stressed in the least. We look forward to hiring Kelly again to care for our dogs.”
“Malissa is amazing! She showed up to our meet-and-greet beforehand with an iPad to take copious notes. It was amazing! It’s clear she really cares and takes her job seriously. And our dog loved her and all the love and attention she gives (especially the evening scritches!).”
“Donita house-sitted for us and took wonderful care of our 2 doggies. She communicated with us throughout the 2 weeks we were travelling just to let us know things were going smoothly. We are very happy with Donita and recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. Now, I have a cat, and I would love to spend some time with your puppers and also take a load off your plate! I used to walk dogs through Wag, so I’m accustomed to meeting and befriending new dogs very quickly. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’d love to hang out with your pups! All services up to two dogs. Dog walking: I’ll walk your dog(s) for 30-60 minutes. My parents’ dog is not very well socialized, so I know how to keep an anxious dog comfortable and under control. Drop-Ins: I’ll feed your dog, take them out, and play with them for a while - whatever you request! House-sitting: All of the above PLUS I’ll stay overnight, water your plants, and bring in your mail. I work in theater on a freelance basis, so I often find myself with a lot of free time. Help me fill it with some pet care! I own my own cat, so I am unable to take your pets into my own home. However, I am happy to visit or stay in your home to care for your pets.
“Lisa is simply the best there is. She's kind, responsive, clean, and most importantly has the ability to connect with even cranky old geriatric cats. Our cat loves her. I think she is mildly disappointed when we come home. I could not recommend Lisa highly enough!”
“emma is an angel who puts anxious pups and their even more anxious owners at ease 😭 had a last minute change before I had to leave town for 3 days that required much more extensive care for my pup than initially anticipated and she was so understanding, willing to adjust, and communicative. i rlly cant thank her enough. also im pretty sure my pup was upset i got back and emma had to leave 😂 as an incredibly anxiously attached pup mama, i 100% recommend her to anyone!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Metzger
Tatiana was incredibly responsive and provided regular updates of our puppy and cat. She also was able to help administer oral meds to our fussy cat and manage our high-energy puppy while leaving our house in a cleaner state than we left it. We’d definitely rebook with her.
Alex was great! She took excellent care of both our cat and dog (and made sure our chickens had water). It was clear from the updates and photos that our pets were well cared for and loved. Our dog was glued to her for snuggles and assurance while we were gone and she even won over our introverted cat. We came home to happy pets and a clean home. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and attentive sitter!
I cannot recommend Marc enough! Leaving our pets is always stressful, but Marc took such incredible care of them that it felt like they were on vacation too. They were attentive to our pets’ specific routines and sent the best daily photo updates, which allowed me to completely relax on our trip. I will definitely be using them again!
Laura got us out of a bind with a different sitter who cancelled a meet and greet three times. In a bind, we reached out to Laura and she quickly confirmed that she was available. We were not able to do a meet and greet but felt great with the communication back and forth throughout the stay. She left the place clean and our dog had been well snuggled.
Michelle was wonderful with our dog and cat while we were gone for 5 nights! It was so nice to get check-in messages and photos and know that our babies were getting great care while we weren’t able to be there. Our house was left spotless and we couldn’t be more appreciative!
Kathryn took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She provided great care, and I came home to a happy, well-loved cat. As an added bonus, Kathryn cleaned and organized my place before she left, which was such a pleasant surprise after traveling! It was wonderful to return home knowing my cat had been well cared for and that everything was neat and tidy. Thank you so much, Kathryn!
Taryn was absolutely incredible, and we truly cannot recommend her enough 🤍🐾 From the moment we met her, she was kind, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our girls. She kept us updated with tons of sweet photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One of the sweetest parts for us was seeing how comfortable our Riley became with her. Riley can be slow to warm up to new people, so seeing her rolling over for belly rubs and fully relaxing with Taryn honestly brought so much joy to our hearts. It was so clear our girls felt safe, loved, and genuinely cared for with her. Taryn went above and beyond, handled everything with so much care, and was incredibly attentive and reassuring the entire time. We already shared her profile with one of our best friends and will absolutely continue recommending her to others because she is truly such a genuine, caring person. The girls adored her, and we cannot wait to book with her again 🤍🐶🐕🐾
This was our first time using Marisa. We appreciated her prompt response when we reached out. She was very personable, on time and asked good questions during our meet and greet. We have two dogs and two cats and they warmed up to her quickly. During her stay, she was very communicative and sent lots of photos, which was great. When we got home, the house was picked up and clean. She did a great job and we would definitely hire her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Metzger
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Metzger on Rover is $42.8 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 4,591 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 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.
