“Katie took our dog on long walks and hikes on new trails, provided photos and updates daily and was very flexible when we had a change of plans. Can’t wait to ask her to sit again!”
About: Im comfortable working with friendly dogs of different ages, including puppies who need extra attention and older dogs who may need a slower, more gentle approach. Plus, my dog is very friendly and enjoys the company, which can help other dogs feel more comfortable and social. I've always loved being around animals, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Whether it's walks, sticking to their normal routine, I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I care for pets in both my home and my client’s home, depending on the service. I make sure they have a safe, clean space, follow their feeding and walking routines, and give them plenty of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their pet comfortable and cared for.
“My dogs, especially the standoffish one, of my 3, loved Ian upon meeting him. He is very patient and gentle. He is so considerate and attentive. I cant praise him enough! We are actually stuck where we traveled to, and were able to book him last minute for a few more days. We will be tipping him accordingly upon our retun thanks to his last minute flexibility. HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
“Alex did a great job house and pet sitting for us this week. He even stayed longer on the last day when our flight home was delayed. We got daily reports and pictures of our pets and would use him again for future trips. Thank you Alex!”
“She stayed at my house and took care of my dog she did a fantastic job! I am so pleased with her! She made sure she didn’t leave a mess in my house and took pictures of the dog all the time it was great I am so pleased I would definitely use her again”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who can’t imagine life without dogs. My family has two dogs that I grew up with, and they’ve been such a huge part of my life. Over the past 8 years, I’ve cared for cats and dogs, both large and small breeds, giving me experience with a wide variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I truly believe dogs are one of the best things on earth. Their love, cuteness and personalities make every day better. While I can’t have a dog of my own right now due to where I live, caring for other people’s dogs gives me the opportunity to share that love and spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a caring companion around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry baby and treat them like one of my own! 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule everyday. I have weekend, mornings, midday and nights available, so anytime you need I’ll be available. Week long pet sitting is also available. I have experience with large and small dogs both needing a crate and not. I love going on long walks, so if your baby needs a long engaging walk I am your person! I have experience with feeding wet and dry food, as well as giving liquid and pill medication!
“Hannah was fantastic! We have an elderly, small dog who is always anxious around new people, but somehow she warmed up to Hannah immediately. Hannah did her oral and eye medication daily without difficulty, and kept in great communication with us throughout the whole stay. We will definitely be asking Hannah to dog sit in the future!”
“Camila was great with our Rocky. She took him for walks and sent us at least 2 pictures a day. The pictures always put me at ease because he either looked happy as he was in the middle of a walk or playing or content as he snuggled near her. He clearly enjoyed having her stay with him while we were away because he was looking for her in our spare bedroom later that night!”
About: I cannot imagine life without pets! I am a very loving and friendly person with a passion for animals. I provide the following services: dog walking, potty breaks, drop-in visits, overnight care & baths. I am extremely responsible and will provide the best care for your pets, guaranteed. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! I have open availability 7 days a week. I am fully committed to providing care to your pets. Please let me know the day(s), time & service that is ideal for you. I have 2 mini golden doodles and 2 cats. They are extremely friendly and get along great with other animals. While staying over or going to a clients home, I will ensure to follow the provided instructions and keep their home as clean as when I initially get there.
About: I’ve always had pets in my home and absolutely love caring for animals! I currently have two sweet cats of my own, and over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats. While I’m new to Rover, I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, pet sitting, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to give your pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I also have a large yard and live in a quiet, walk-friendly neighborhood, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime and attention during the day, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can also take dogs for walks around my quiet neighborhood and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Dogs who are comfortable around cats are welcome to enjoy the common areas of my home. For cats, I also have a separate room available so they can have their own quiet, comfortable space if they prefer to be away from other animals.
“Alex was incredible. She just gets it!Great with four dogs who never missed a beat with Alex. Alex stayed three nights and left the house impeccable. She graciously agreed to vacuum and pick up poop in the back yard. We came home to a house that looked as good as when we left. Thank you, Alex!”
“Megan was fabulous! We needed a dog sitter last minute to stay over the weekend and she responded right away. She came over for a visit to meet our dog and walked through everything; our dog immediately loved her. She arrived on time and treated our pup and home with care and respect. We are so grateful! Highly recommend.”
“Great communication about the dogs, she asked good questions and jept in contact throughout. Sending photos and updates. As I haven't left my dogs before it helped me feel less anxious.”
“Our first time with Zach and hopefully not our last. He was punctual, reliable and so attentive to our older dog who needs some extra care and patience. Zach sent lots of updates and photos throughout his stay. He followed Kona’s schedule to a T and even came back for an extra walk last minute the next day.”
About: I’ve taken care of Cats and Dogs growing up. Some of my best memories came from my Yorkie-Terrior named Billy and Beagle named Ruby. Bonding with your pets is such an invaluable experience that can be life-changing for all those involved. Currently between jobs, searching for part time work. I’ll have loads of time to provide quality care for your precious pets. I’m available for House Sitting, Drop-In/Out visits and Walks. :) I follow instructions listed by each client to the T. I take my time to read carefully written instructions. I may ask for clarification on any request, solely to ensure I know the best way to properly look after, walk and take care of each pet, (family member,) as if they were my own.
“Samantha was wonderful with our two dogs. One of our dogs is very anxious and Samantha respected that and didn't try to pat her or interact with her. She just waited through the anxiety until Wanda was comfortable. She communicated with me and sent pictures, which was much appreciated! I will definitely book Samantha again.”
“Olivia was absolutely wonderful! She came to my home and took amazing care of Charlie, my Maltese, for the entire day. She arrived on time, was very respectful of my home, and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me complete peace of mind. She took Charlie for walks, fed him, and made sure he received plenty of care and attention. Charlie was so happy and comfortable with her. Olivia is kind, reliable, responsible, and completely trustworthy. I highly recommend her and would gladly book her again!”
About: I have worked with all kinds of pets in familial, friendly, and professional environments for years, and want to continue to serve. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I have a fairly open schedule and am flexible when it comes to pet care needs. I am currently available both during the day and at night. Although my own house is unavailable for boarding, I am attentive and respectful of any rules and instructions given for pet care in a clients home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Monroe
Kathryn was great! She looked after our two dogs and one cat. We live in a condo townhouse so the dogs need to be taken out often to go potty. They’re old and also need medicine. Kathryn was awesome. She took care of them and their needs so well. Highly recommended!
Parker was absolutelya pleasure to work with! They are very professional, communicative, and clearly care very deeply for animals. Parker went above and beyond caring for Meelo and we returned to a relaxed pup and our home exactly as we left it. I would absolutely book them again in the future. Thank you, Parker!
Melissa is a great sitter. She made time to meet our 2 nervous Poms and ultimately did a 2 overnight stay at our place. She was very communicative and sent us tons of pics throughout the weekend. One of our dogs even started a new med that first night and Melissa seamlessly gave the treatment. Would definitely recommend and coordinate with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Monroe on Rover is $66.6 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 2,082 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Monroe. 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 Monroe 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 Monroe 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 Monroe 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 Monroe. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
