“Chrissy did a fantastic job taking care of my old girl dog and my home. Kept me updated with notes and photos throughout her stay. My dog was happy and calm and my house was just as I left it. Recommend without reservation.”
“Nicole did a great job taking care of our little dog Coconut in our home while we went on a week long trip. She left the house in excellent condition, was able to grab our mail, sent a few pictures and updates too so we felt happy knowing Coco was in good hands. We would definitely love to have her sit for Coco again.”
About: The holidays are coming up which means family reunions and events. What is better than giving your cats the care they deserve without having them leave the comfort of home? You won’t have to worry with me there to take care of them! I have grown up around cats and started to learn to care for them at a young age. I have 17 years of experience caring for my family’s 3 cats and about 5 of those years made me a pro at administering medicines. I have experience with severely sick cats, including using a feeding tube to administer food, water, and medicines on a strict schedule. I also have experience with administering intravenous fluids and injecting insulin. I am currently working a full time remote job. I will be available throughout the week for house sitting. For drop ins, I’m available on weekdays during morning and evenings and all day Saturday and Sunday. I will make sure that I enter and leave your house securely. I will double check all doors are locked and alarms are on before I leave! I will leave your house with no pet mess or accidents. I will make sure everything is taken care of for you so you don't have to worry about your home! I will make sure that all litter bags and garbage will be taken out before I leave. I will also make sure to wash pet food and water bowls before leaving.
“Lindsey has been, by far, the best dog sitter I have found on this site. My dogs are both on the larger side and seniors, both require multiple meds and are high & low maintenance at the same time. Outside, sleep, outside, diaper, outside, sleep, outside, diaper, you get the gist. Lindsey handled it beautifully. She was communicative throughout, shared many pictures, provided updates and asked questions, without hesitation, that you never really are able to address during a meet & greet. It was an amazing and comforting benefit that my neighbor, who liked walking the dogs with me, told me that she was 'chopped liver' compared to the way the dogs interacted with Lindsey. My neighbor has known and walked with us for over 11 years, always has treats & she took a second class rating to Lindsey!! She is more than worthy of this review. I hope that this helps when other pup parents are looking for someone that they can trust and leave their loved ones in good hands without worry when needed.”
About: Message me and we can work something out cuz putting pricing on here can be confusing. Hello I'm stephanie I've had many types of pets of all different kinds, my whole life; from taking care of my cats with their litters, as well as "extra-curricular" animals I won't go into, unless you have an exotic pet lol, then definitely write me. I've also done in-home house sitting for cats, dogs, and various others. If you would like to talk to any of my past references, let me know if that would help you feel more comfortable. I've taken care of pregnant cats and dogs, I've also helped them birth there babies. I'm very patient and kind hearted, and I just love animals. I've also volunteered at pet rescues and have hands on training with taking care of sick, elderly, baby, wild cats and kittens. I also offer grooming such as baths and clippings for cats and small dogs. If given a list of things to do and how you want them done, I will be more than happy to fulfill those duties. Message me if you need someone to watch your "little family member" :) I have an open schedule right now and am available. For House sitting I operate from 11am till 930pm. If you just want me to check on them real quick or take them out to potty then drop ins are what you need to select. Message me and we can work out all the details. Also doggy day care I operate 10am to 11pm within that time frame only but as of right now I can only care for them 3 to 4 hours at a time just message me to work it all out I also have had dogs and cats inside when situations, or customers, require it. I can also set up multiple crates if needed or if they are trained for it.
“Barbara was fantastic! She did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and aquarium. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and by the end of Barbara's stay, the dog was comfortable with her. She provide updates daily and did not hesitate when any instructions were unclear. I will definitely book with Barbara again.”
“Carlynn was an absolute gem and was kind enough to book on short notice after an abrupt and unforeseen cancelation from another Rover sitter. Carlynn did a perfect job of caring for my 17-year-old Coton du Tulear, Cassie. My Cassie is blind and deaf, frail, has kidney disease and also has no teeth anymore after they were removed. But she is still very sweet and Carlynn brought out the best in her, hand-feeding her, keeping her hydrated and treating her like a cherished pet of her own. I'm happy to recommend Carlynn to anyone who wants a kind, gentle, top-notch person. Thanks again Carlynn.”
“Robin is amazing with our senior dog Teeto and she’s definitely going to be our go-to moving forward! Very punctual and communicative, she provided updates on how Teeto was doing so I always felt assured that he’s receiving great care. She left our place immaculate and I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Robin ❤️”
“She was amazing!!! so attentive, diligent in every detail. I would highly recommend using her. She will be our new go to person for sure.!!! she watched our four dogs which one of them was a puppy gave amazing updates for us and our house was immaculate. When we got home I was speechless, I hope she’s available every time we ever need her!!”
“Tonya is friendly, smart, conscientious, and a good communicator — absolutely perfect! We felt comfortable leaving our two fur babies in her care, and having her stay at our home. We’re relieved to have met her and we’re already booking again!”
“Jalen was wonderful, she spent some time with us prior to leaving. Paid great attention to our dog and sent pictures. The house was spotless, she was great. I look forward to using her again.”
About: I have always loved dogs. They are the very best of us. My last two dogs lived to 17 years old so I'm very familiar with the needs of elderly dogs and my current dog (4 years old) we got as a puppy. Anything you need I can handle with love and confidence. Happy to send updates and pictures. Our pets are family. I'm a local photographer so I get to set my own schedule. I can mold it to your pet's needs. I'm active and wake up early. I have laminate floors and a completely fenced in large back yard. I understand every animal is different and since I work from home, we do not have a pet door so even indoor pets are safe. I'm happy to follow your rules and respect boundaries. Happy to send pictures and updates!
“Mikayla was professional and compassionate! She went above and beyond for our pup - staying overnight during fireworks, bringing in packages, and keeping us up-to-date on the daily experiences. We felt comfort knowing she was there to take care of our old pup when we couldn't be there. Would definitely choose her again!”
“Nicki was excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone . She was on time, updated me frequently on how things were going and my dog really likes her (which doesn't happen often). She was also fexible and attentive. She kept our place clean and was very easy to communicate with.”
“Our dogs loved Sam. Our dogs are older and we were anxious about leaving them with somebody new. But Sam’s experience and her interactions with our pups during the meet and greet, helped put our minds at ease. She was a great communicator prior to our trip and sent daily updates with pictures. When I arrived home, the dogs and the house were well taken care of. We will definitely use Sam’s services again.”

This was our second booking with Sam and the experience was as successful as our first. For both bookings, she has arrived at the arranged time which eliminates the worry of being late for a flight. She provides updates and pictures of the pups on a regular basis. This stay was longer, but the pups were well taken care of and the house was spotless when we arrived home. We all, pups and people, really appreciate the care she provides our aging pups. 😊

The average cost of House Sitting in Monroe is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 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.
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 , 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.
