About: I have 27 years of experience in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and injections, caring for senior pets, and monitoring pets with special medical needs. I understand how important it is to provide patient, compassionate, and reliable care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable visits, walks, feeding, medication administration, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of consistency and communication, and I enjoy spending quality time with pets while helping them maintain their normal routines when their families are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine and environment to reduce stress. I follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions carefully, while monitoring for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. With 27 years of veterinary experience, I understand the importance of safety, attention to detail, and clear communication with pet owners.
“Nikolay did a great job taking care of our two dogs in our home. We got several pictures everyday! When we returned, dogs were happy and the house was also well taken care of. Would be happy to book again for our next trip! :)”
“We had a great experience with Claudia's house sitting services. She was truly awesome! We loved the numerous pictures and very detailed updates she sent while we were away. She took excellent care of our babies and our home. We would definitely book her services again in the future.”
“Kalyn was a wonderful dog/house sitter for our two Ausiedoodles while we were out of town. She’s great with communication, dependability and animal behavior/handling. We have a dog with special needs and she was respectful and thoughtful with his specific care instructions. I look forward to Kayln watching our dogs and house again.”
“Gypsie and Robby are the best! They love on my pets as if they were their own and the house always looks even better than I left it when I come home. Highly recommend!”
“Aeries did really good watching over my dog and 2 cats. I will definitely be bringing her back next time I leave. She was very attentive and gave me updates (pictures) daily. 💚 Really great service!”
“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!”
“Miss Holly was amazing with our animals, they were very well taken care of. Everything was exactly as we left it upon our return. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again if the need arises.”
“Nancy was absolutely fantastic with my 8 month old puppy. She stepped in at the last minute and saved my work trip. She checked in with me and sent pictures daily. My puppy was sick and to take medication and she was fantastic with her. I will definitely use Nancy again!”
“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of our sweet old hound dog. She was very happy when we got home and the house was also clean and tidy. We got daily updates and videos. We’ll gladly use Nicole again for house sitting and walks!”
“I cannot say enough good things about how Brandy took care of our dog. She is caring and really bonded with Abbey. Her daily photos were a source of great comfort for us as we traveled, knowing Abbey was in such good hands. Also, she left the house in wonderful shape - vacuumed the whole house and everything was shipshape. We will definitely use Brandy again when we travel.”
“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.”
“Crystal took amazing care of my newly adopted dog, Ziggy, and my two cats while I was away. She did such a great job with them, and it was obvious they all loved her. I also really appreciated that when I got delayed getting back into town because of traffic, she came back out again to make sure Ziggy got dinner and could get out since I was going to be home pretty late. That meant a lot and was truly above and beyond. She’s awesome, super dependable, and I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

She was incredibly respectful of our home & space, and left everything in perfect condition. We appreciated her communication and updates with pictures of our pets! I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Laurel hung out with Lexi at our house for a long day while I was out of town. This was Lexi's first time with a pet sitter and I wasn't sure how it would go. Laurel sent a bunch of cute photos and videos of Lex”
“Alison and her little one Cassidy were perfect caregivers for my Lily. They stayed at my home and made sure she went on plenty of walks, and kept up with her relentless energy playing with toys.

We had Cameron watch our boys for the first time and she did an awesome job. She sent us pictures every day and kept us updated on how they were doing. I had no worries about her being in our house and she left everything just as it was when we left. We definitely will use her in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Monroe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Monroe on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,765 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.
