“Jennifer took excellent care of our dog, cats, and home while we were gone. She kept us updated with messages and pictures the whole time. We felt very comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care.”
“Jessica is wonderful with our dogs!! All three of them warmed to her immediately, even Phoebe who is very shy of new people! Thank you Jessica! We look forward to your next visit!”
“Christina was sweet and caring. She sent relevant and timely updates and Bodhi seemed to enjoy his time with her. A great sitter that I would definitely consider using again.”
“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.”
“From the moment I met Alona I knew she would be a perfect match for my girl Louise. I am extremely particular when it comes to finding the best care for my dog and Alona was open and receptive to my needs while my husband and I were away. She understood that I like communication often with updates and lots of very cute photos! She followed instructions and didn’t hesitate to reach out when she had a question. I had issues with our precious sitter and she was receptive to hearing my concerns and ensuring that I wouldn’t have to deal with any issues as her stay approached. She also left our place in great condition and took wonderful care! Louise is on the stubborn side while also being more aloof. She warmed up to Alona quicker than previous sitters. We will 100% be using Alona for future stays with Louise!”
“Brandy is always so kind and considerate, of us, Ace, and our home. We had a delayed flight and she stayed with our dog Ace way longer than originally planned. When we came home, very late, our house was spotless-Im talking dishes done and put away, laundry done and put away, floors and stairs vacuumed, sheets washed, dried, and bed made, and it smelled so good in the house! Brandy is a treasure for us, and we appreciate her more than I can express!”
“Cynthia was amazing with our new puppy! She kept her active, playing with her and taking her for walks. Molly took to her right away and was so excited when she saw her that next morning. If you want a caring sitter that treats your dog like her own Cynthia is your person. She’s a gem!”
“Lexi did a great job staying in our home and caring for our dog and two cats. She communicated well throughout the stay and sent regular photos and updates. Our dog seemed to really enjoy her company. We’d be happy to have Lexi sit for us again.”
“Claudia did a wonderful job taking care of our 12 year old anxious dog an our house! She provided just the right amount of updates and I could tell that my girl was happy and comfortable. She has a new friend! We will definitely be hiring Claudia again.”
“Tonya actually gets a 10! She is the nicest gal and my dogs absolutely loved her the moment she walked in my door for the meet and greet! I usually get very anxious when I have to leave my kids but she made it so easy for my to know they were going to have a vacation of their own! She sent me updates and pictures while I was gone, and honestly I don’t think they missed us a minute! 🤣🤷🏼♀️🤣 Tonya is my forever Angel and I will always have her in our lives! We love you To ya!!!!!! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️”
“Kira was an amazing dog sitter! One of our dogs has separation anxiety, and Kira did a great job keeping her calm and cared for. They also asked a lot of great questions to make sure they had all of the information they needed about our dogs while we were gone. They sent us pictures of the dogs and gave status updates while we were gone which was really appreciated! They were very flexible with time too, I was able to book them with just a few days notice, and had to stay out later than expected which was no problem for them. Overall it was a great experience, our pups seemed very happy. Thanks Kira! <3”
“Your pets will love Lindsey. She plays with them, puts videos on for them, and even let's them cuddle up with her. For 2 weeks she cared for our home, 2 of our cats, 3 foster cats and domestic duck we feed at the pond across the street. She even greeted us at the door upon return and gave us the full report. This is so helpful. If you want, she will send pictures every day you are gone. We are so grateful for Lindsey's help when we head out of town.”
“Thanks Syd for taking such good care of our paw kids. I could tell Billyblue missed you last night as he just wanted to sleep in your room. I appreciate all that you did. Those long walks and Billyblue is your fan. 🐾🤍”
“Alison B was absolutely awesome. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and house and plants! We were able to enjoy our vacation worry free. We had family visiting and left in a bit of a rush for our trip. We came home to a house cleaner than how we left it! Our dogs were greatly loved and she sent many updates and pictures. We highly recommend Alison B for house and dog sitting, you will be very pleased!”

Nikolay is our favorite sitter, our dog and cat love him! They sleep with Nikolay at night, during the day he walks our dog several times. Nikolay even watered our garden and grass while we where gone. Nikolay takes the stress away when we leave on vacation. Nikolay is very trustworthy and leaves home clean and our animals happy!! We will always use Nikolay for our vacations.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Monroe on Rover is $43.85 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 6,764 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.
