“Abigail did a fantastic job watching our critters! She was great about sending pics of Oban and Mabel, and she kept our house looking nice and clean. We would definitely have her house sit again and recommend her!”
About: Growing up on a farm I learned to care for animals ranging from big to small. I’ve had dogs in my family since I was around 6 years old, I currently have 3 dogs . I’m currently working from home which leads me to have plenty of time to stop in and take care of your pets whenever you need. Whenever I will be sitting for you , your dogs safety will be my top priority. I’m experienced in dog walking and dog sitting .
“Donnis is incredible! My yorkie, Halo absolutely loved and adored her. Donnis was really sweet to my girl, took her on walks, played with her, fed her, and made sure she feels loved even though I was away for a really long time. Donnis was also super flexible with my hectic schedule. I would book Donnis again every time!”
“Taryn was really sweet throughout the whole process and our two dogs seemed to respond well to her. Her photos of the dogs during her stay were endearing and showed that she formed a great relationship with them.”
“Laura was phenomenal. It was a last minute booking and she went out of her way to make our life easy while I’m out of town and my husband having a changing work schedule. She was an extra hand that adapted to changes quickly which we both appreciated.”
“Amanda was great! She stayed at our house for a week and took amazing care of our pups. She was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the week! We will definitely be using her again :)”
“Brooke was the absolute best with Penny! She did such an amazing job of keeping our senior dog active but with plenty of rest. When we came home, Penny was snoozing away , no barking nothing, which means Brooke clearly made her feel super comfortable. Would have her back whenever- she’s also an amazing house guest.”
“Rammiyah was great with my Great Dane Journey, who has severe separation issues. When we got back Journey was calm and no signs of stress or anxiety. I can't thank Rammiyah enough for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Kira is absolutely wonderful. See my review from June 13, 2025 for a full explanation of why I think she is the BEST!!! Once again, she stayed at my home while I was away for several nights and did a great job taking care of my three Standard Poodles, a German Short-haired Pointer, and my Parrot. They all love her. She communicated promptly, kept my home clean, and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her. She is a blessing.”
“If you are looking for a sitter who can handle a literal zoo with grace, look no further! We threw a lot at Barbara—dogs, cats, mini donkeys, and even a goat—and she handled them all like a pro. But the real test was our pig. To be fair, she had zero 'swine experience' going in, and our pig definitely knew it. He made it his mission to drive her absolutely bananas, but she didn’t crack! She was patient, attentive, and somehow managed to keep everyone happy and fed. It’s not every day you find someone willing to referee a pig while making sure the donkeys get their ear scratches. We came home to a very calm farm and happy animals. We’ll definitely be booking her again—if the pig hasn't scared her off for good”
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require extra attention, medication reminders, and a calm environment. I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates, photos, and detailed care notes so owners have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m currently new to the area just relocated from the beautiful San Diego California. I’m enjoying then change of environment, weather but mostly the new fur buddies I’m making 😊 Trusted pet care ❤️ I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, exercise, administering medications if needed, and providing plenty of attention and affection. In a client's home, I respect the pet's environment and maintain their schedule while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly space with close supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love and companionship. My priority is ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Shannon was great! I need someone in a very short amount of time and she was able to make it happen. Easy to get in touch with communication is outstanding. Our 2 goldens were loved on so much and very well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely ask her to watch them again!!”
About: As a proud owner of three Golden Retrievers (ages 3 to 10), I understand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I’ve built that trust with family, friends, and repeat clients who rely on me for dependable, in-home care, walks, and check-ins. My experience ranges from puppies to senior dogs, and includes hands-on work at a boarding facility and volunteering at an animal shelter. As a full-time student, I have the flexibility to be fully present and attentive. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a safe, loving, and comfortable experience. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s consistent check-ins, extended stays, or extra playtime, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never rushed. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow your routines closely, from feeding schedules to walks, medications, and any special instructions, to keep things consistent. I’m very respectful of your home and keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and communication. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously
About: I'm patient and playful. Very knowledgeable about animals, I am a veterinary technician. my dad says I'm an animal whisperer.

I can't explain how excited I am to take care of your babies while your away! Every dog has his day, and today its going to be with me! Also I took a behavior class for an externship so I would be happy to help train if necessary. Training goes by the hour message me for details.
About: Caring for dogs has been a huge part of my everyday life. I have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like walking, feeding, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and patience they need. I’ve also dog-sat for family members, which has helped me become comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. What sets me apart is how much I truly love dogs — I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means a calm walk, playtime, or just keeping them company. My weekly routine is always the same and includes a lot of availability for me to fit pet sitting/walking into my schedule. I prioritize my time with pets!! When caring for pets in their own homes, I make it a priority to keep their routine and environment as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for. I take my time during visits, give plenty of attention and affection, and always treat both your home and your pet with care and respect.
“Joalice is a reliable and compassionate pet sitter! I am always at ease knowing she is looking after my pets and home while I am out of town. I will continue to use her as long as I can!”
“Lealy was an absolute pleasure to have in our home. She watched our 3 dogs and stayed at the house to watch over everything. I will not ever use anyone else. She has a permanent customer”
“Cindy was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, we knew our dog was in great hands. She was caring, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals, and our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter! We will call her again definitely..!!!! Thank you again and again. 🙏🏼”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Monroe
She is absolutely wonderful - we have a senior dog and she spent a week with him in our home (over the 4th of July fireworks holiday, no less!). He’s particular, and she had him the absolute healthiest and happiest we’ve ever seen him when we returned. She’s super communicative, and the most respectful houseguest we’ve ever received - truly a 10/10 experience, and my only fear with letting the world know about her is having to share her 🥹! Thank you, thank you!

The average cost of House Sitting in Monroe is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $51 per night.

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.
<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 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 , 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.
