“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!”
“Samantha was so easy going, reliable, kind, great vibes all around! Calvin loved her and immediately settled into a happy calm vibe. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again!! Thanks so much, Samantha!!”
“Ian's first housesitting with Carson went very well. He was dedicated to Carson's health and safety especially since there were unexpected thunderstorms. Ian comforted Carson throughout the day and night with lots of care, hugs and belly rubs. Ian was in communication each day and sent pictures as well. Carson had an added play date with Hailey too. Ian was respectful in our home and left it clean. All great qualities when someone is caring for your pet and staying in your home.”
“I needed a house and dogsitter for a week with very short notice due to a death in the family. Matt came over within 14 hours of me reaching out. He stayed at my house and took care of my two dogs for 8 days. He left the house exactly as I did. He sent me multiple photos and updates each day and was good to my dogs. Appreciate it.”
“Alex is truly incredible. Her soft, gentle demeanor combined with her knowledge on how to care for pets makes her a perfect choice. She really helped us out last minute on a holiday weekend. We ( and our fur babies ) look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Alex did a great job, staying with Meir for a full week. He kept us updated every day and sent photos. Alex is a nice, responsible guy and we thank him very much for his wonderful job. Thank you Alex!”
“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!”
“Dahn took terrific care of my dog! She left me detailed messages and many photographs and videos throughout her time dogsitting. She asked questions if needed and left my house in same condition when she came. She even gave Shiloh a brand new chew toy and taught her a new game.”
About: I have spent my life caring for my own pets as well as other people's much loved pets. I care for pets of all ages. I'm currently at home all day and can treat your pets like royalty! I believe in many walks and constant loving attention. I love animals! I'm currently only caring for pets in their own homes. I care for both cats and dogs. I have a huge backyard but would keep dogs on a leash as it's not fenced in. I live on a safe dead end street. Addendum.. I'm currently only caring for pets in their own homes as I have two pups of my own.
“Taylor was fantastic! She was reliable, dependable and very wonderful with our dog. Our dog Marci felt comfortable with her right away. Taylor was respectful of us, our dog and our home. Will 100% use her again!”
About: I am a young teen with a lot of time on her hands and I already work at doggy daycare, giving me experience with big dogs and small dogs especially dogs that can be reactive. Every animal should be loved and treated the same way! It actually helps to apply into my job already with more animal experience and my future career in the animal medical field I have two cats at home that I’ve raised basically since work and my love for animals requires me to be 100% about them and open for them all week In my own home I have my cats on a routine, it’s really hard to have animals without a routine especially kittens. I have a job that I work four days at and would love to be able to put forward what I already know in to taking care of your pets!
“Jordan was fantastic. During the Meet & Greet, she asked all the right questions and it was very clear from the start that she is a professional who takes dog- and house-sitting seriously. We had her watched three large dogs for a full day and everything went smoothly. The dogs loved her and she kept us informed of how things were going. My daughter (two the three dogs were hers) also had high praise for Jordan. We will definitely seek out her services when we next need someone to watch Gracie.”
“Zach was the perfect choice for our dog and cat. After meeting with Zach, we immediately felt relief and comfort that he would be watching over our animals. Zach is responsible, friendly, and great with animals. It was clear that he had a good read on our dog and that they would be a good fit for each other. He kept us updated with what was happening along with pictures and videos, both of which made it clear that our pets were happy, enjoying themselves, and well cared for. I can't recommend Zach enough. Thanks for taking such good care of our animals!”
About: Growing up my family always had a dog. Over the years we have had a total of three. I am lucky to be a dog dad myself now of my beautiful rescue Lola. Having her as a few month old puppy, my fiancée and I were able to train her so I do have experience and patience with puppies, along with older dogs as well. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I can do morning or evening visits or walks depending on what works for you and your pet! What I find works best is to meet with the dog and owner before hand to find out what kind of routine works best for them, what toys they like to play with, favorite treats ect. It’s all about making the owner feel comfortable and to make sure their pet is comfortable as well!
“Cotter was great with our two dogs! He helped us out in a crunch over the holiday weekend, was extremely responsive and provided a ton of updates. Our dogs were very comfortable with him, we will definitely be using him again in the future. Thank you Cotter!”
“Maria is extremely well qualified to take care of your beloved pet. She took very good care of Tika while we were away for a long weekend Tika is an anxious active dog who craves affection and exercise and Maria provided both. We felt very confident that our home and our beloved hound were safe while Maria was in charge. Maria was also willing to take care of putting out seeds for the birds in the garden (this chilly weekend very important) and went to the extra effort to make sure Tika got long walks and made sure to have her wear a jacket and harness! When we returned of course Tika was happy to see us but she also clearly had bonded with Maria We we’re lucky Maria had availability and hope we can book her again the next time we leave town and can’t bring Tika”
“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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,116 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.

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.
