“Another fantastic stay with Ericka! Super attentive and responsive - followed all instructions for or 3 senior dogs that need a little extra love and attention! Super happy repeat customers! Thanks, Ericka!!”
“Highly recommend...Natalie was awesome! Great communication including pics of my pups daily. Stayed well beyond the agreed upon time due to a flight cancelation. I'm incredibly grateful for her care and kindness.”
“Matthew was simply wonderful watching our home and four pets for 6 days! We had never been able to go on a long trip until now. Matthew went above and beyond and kept us updated daily with photos and extras. We are so grateful for his kindness and ease with our babies. We highly recommend him and will use his services in the future.”
“My dogs were taken care of excellently! I got lots of photos and it was very clear that my entire pack (which is a crazy pack both in size and energy 🤣) was very happy! Can't recommend these two enough! Thanks so much!”
“Evan did a wonderful job watching my two rescue babies and our home for 5 nights. He is kind, reliable and detail oriented. His communication is clear and timely. I was able to relax while I was away because I knew they were in loving and capable hands. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Great experience all around, Sydney is a pro! She took great care of our quirky doodles and we appreciated regular photos and updates. It was a relief knowing that our dogs (and home) were in loving and caring hands while we were on vacation.”
“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
“There are not enough words to explain how amazing and truly incredible Heather is!!! We have 4 dogs with 4 different personalities and needs. It was instant love for her by them! It would be your dogs loss if you don’t use her services! She’s an amazing person and true dog lover!”
“This was our first time entrusting Patrick with our house and pups. We were quite confident in our decision when, during the meet and greet, Patrick inquired about our care routines in detail, which we hadn’t been asked before. Throughout our trip, Patrick kept us informed about our pups’ well-being by sending us pictures of their adventures. We appreciated receiving these updates as they allowed us to stay connected while we were away. We highly recommend Patrick for future dog-sitting needs and believe he would be a great fit for your requirements as well.”
“Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!”
“Amanda was an awesome sitter. She was prompt and very kind. I have 5 dogs, one being a 16 week puppy and she took great care of them! She sent me pictures and kept in touch with me during the stay. I definitely will have sit again. She is a kind-sweet hearted person and I have confidence and trust in her. Thanks again Amanda!”
“She gave me the best updates about my boys! I was also worried about my flight getting canceled and she offered to come back and stay the night if it did get cancelled! Absolutely would recommend her!”
“I had a great experience with Mike. He stayed at my house with Hank and took excellent care of him. I also came home to a very clean house, which is really appreciated. Reliable, respectful, and great with dogs. 10/10 recommend. Will book again.”
“Enjoyed having Milica take care of Lexi overnight in our home. She’s conscientious and got on well with Lexi and her communication was very consistent and helpful.”
“Christine stayed the night over at my house. She reassured that my dog was ok with her and became best friend! Just need to make sure all lights are turned off and windows are closed before leaving the house for the day.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Oliver
Erin was amazing with my dog and cat! She stayed with them for around three days and sent me pictures and updates to let me know how they were doing. She was so kind and caring to them. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. I will definitely have her back to watch my pets! We’re very grateful to her for everything she did!
Lexie did house/pet sitting for us for a week, and she was wonderful! We felt very comfortable with her being in our home, and she took excellent care of my 2 dogs—walked them both every day, sent pictures and text updates daily, and gave the dogs lots of love and attention. We were very happy with the care she provided, and would definitely recommend her!
Matt watched our two Frenchies while away for an international trip and did a wonderful job caring them and our house. Matt was left detailed instructions on the dogs’ and broader home care and followed instructions to a T. Not only did Matt take excellent care of our dogs, but he left our home in excellent condition - maybe even cleaner than when we left! Matt also came prepared to care for the dogs with his own sleeping bag and pillows. We would recommend Matt to anyone with pets - he is respectful, highly communicative, compassionate, good natured, and appears to have a genuine love of animals.
Becca stayed in our home while we were out of town and she was fantastic with our 4 lb ball poodle. I won’t hesitate to reach out to her again for playdates or overnight care. She is responsible, caring and left our home in good order as well. Thank you, Becca! <3
Tammy was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at my home for two days while caring for my fur baby, Luna, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, Tammy was kind, professional, and clearly passionate about animals. She took excellent care of Luna, kept me updated, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I returned home, everything was spotless and well cared for. It was obvious that Tammy treated both my home and Luna with the same respect and attention she would give her own. Luna was happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved during Tammy’s stay. It’s such a relief to find someone you can truly trust with both your pet and your home, and Tammy exceeded all of my expectations. I would gladly book Tammy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Thank you, Tammy, for taking such wonderful care of my fur baby!
Alexis was absolutely amazing and we will be booking her again! Our older dog takes a little time to warm up to someone usually, but he warmed up to Alexis immediately from the meet and greet - he’s a very good judge of character. Our puppy Millie was so comfortable with her that she slept in her arms, when she doesn’t even do that with us usually. Alexis played with both of them and sent plenty of photos and videos. She left our home clean and is just the greatest to communicate with. She is very responsive and thoughtful. Book her if you can!
Madison was absolutely amazing with our dog Tato! She was very communicative the entire time from before the booking to during and on our way home. She completely catered to our his needs and made us feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her! I already booked with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Oliver
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mount Oliver on Rover is $55.69 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 1,490 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Oliver. 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 Mount Oliver 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 Mount Oliver 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 Mount Oliver 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.
