“Angelee is the best! She made our first time leaving our dog, Charlie, with a sitter a breeze and she will be our first call for all future pet sitting needs! We came home to a spotless house (with a washed and made guest bed even!), received frequent updates while we were gone, and never once worried about Charlie while he was in her care. She is communicative, prompt, so friendly, and clearly loves animals. Angelee worked to keep Charlie’s routine and environment consistent while we were away. Charlie got lots of walks and playtime. He clearly loved Angelee as he was looking for her in our guest room after we got home! It is such a relief to find someone who you can trust with your pet and your home. Angelee goes above and beyond! Cannot recommend her highly enough!!”

About: Since I was 15, I have taken care of neighbors pets and my own! I have had chickens, fish, hamsters, dogs, and currently have a cat of my own! I work two other jobs so I will need to know in advanced when I’m needed! I should be available most days depending on times! I am very respectful towards homes and would never leave it without making sure it’s tidy and clean up any accidents that could happen, I also am very communicative!

“Riley is a delight and true animal lover! She cared for our elderly dogs while we were on vacation in our home. She treated them as her own and even won over our standoffish one within a couple days! She kept us informed, sent us photos and reached out with questions she had. She was sweet and understanding of our elderly dogs special supplements and followed our instructions to a T. Our home was immaculate upon our return; she even washed and folded all the towels and bedding she used! Our pups have a new friend for life and we will sure to use her for our next vacations! Book her today - you wont regret it!”

About: You could say: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10, caring for dogs. I’ve had 3 of my own dogs and I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing loving care. I’d make it sound flexible and reliable rather than just listing your class times: My schedule is flexible around my classes! I’m available Monday and Wednesday before 3 PM and after 5 PM, Tuesday and Thursday before 10 AM and after 6:30 PM, and I’m available all day Friday through Sunday. For Rover, I’d make it sound warm and reassuring: I’ll create a safe and trusting environment by following your pet’s routine, respecting your home, and providing plenty of attention, care, and supervision.

About: Hi, I’m Esther! I’m a college student who has been on Rover for over two years. Most of my experience is with younger dogs but I love taking care of seniors too. I currently don’t have any pups so I pet-sit to stay active and continue being around animals. I am a student with a lot of mid day and weekend availability. I’m very flexible, especially on holidays and during school breaks. I have a lot of experience house sitting as well and I love overnight visits. When leaving your pets with me, they’ll be treated as my own. I believe in open and transparent communication so I’ll provide lots of updates. I have skills in leash training, crate training, and grooming. I would love to keep your pet company! For safety on house sitting appointments, I plan on meeting clients and their pups before providing services to make sure we’re a good fit.

About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a little girl, I’ve grown up multiple family pets and have watched dogs for family and friends when they are out of town. I am also a proud owner of an extremely playful miniature Bernedoodle. I love getting to meet and spend time with new furry friends and I can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently working a part time job and caring for my own snuggle buddy, Therefore I will have flexible availability throughout the weekdays and the weekends. Holidays included. I have one friendly dog that would love to keep your fur baby company if wanted. As well as transportation and any needed doggy supplies!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. I also have experience caring for and walking friends’ dogs and am excited to expand that experience by helping more local dog owners! I’m active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to provide anything from a relaxed walk to a more active walk or run for dogs who need extra exercise. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and routine, and I’ll make sure their time with me is safe, fun, and tailored to what they need. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own! I’m a full-time student and also work part-time, but my schedule varies throughout the week, which gives me flexibility for pet care! I have availability on different mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on the day. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit both your schedule and your dog’s routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow all instructions and routines provided, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any specific household rules. For walks and runs, I’ll always prioritize your dog’s safety by keeping them securely leashed, paying attention to their surroundings, and adjusting the pace and distance based on their age, energy level, and needs. I’ll also provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Ella helped us out in a pinch and was extremely responsive for the duration of her stay! She was very friendly and was flexible when unexpected surprises popped up (like our doorknob falling off our main entry door 🫠). Would definitely recommend her for dog sitting needs!

Bailey did a wonderful job with our fur family! It was our first time away from our very anxious German Shepherd and she was able to handle him like a pro.

Came home and Teddy was happy and healthy. He's pretty needy and high strung and needs lots of attention and evidently he got everything he needed. Ususally when we leave he loses weight (and he's only 11 pounds to start with) but he looked good and was energetic, the house was perfect and we were able to enjoy our getaway. Thanks for everything Jordan.

Taylor once again took great care of Murphy while we were away. She keeps me updated on how he's doing and takes great pictures that she sends along. She also leaves the house with no trace behind including washing the sheets and towels she has used during her stay. Taylor even checked on us after the stay to make sure we arrived home safely. Top notch in every way!

FAQs for House Sitting - Migrate

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Migrate on Rover is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $61 per night. 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 457 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Migrate. 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 Migrate 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 Migrate 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Migrate 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Migrate. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
