Samantha is a gem. She arrived on time, spent considerable time playing with and walking my pup, and sent lovely notes and photos. I would recommend her to anyone.

Chris is very conscientious and takes such good care of our two dogs. She cares about them as if they're her own! When we're away, we feel very safe and secure knowing Chris is at our home caring for our dogs.

We are very happy to have Jenny watch our little girl again. She provided our little girl with a lot of TLC and kept us informed along the way. Jenny took good care of our home during our extended time away and followed all instructions perfectly. I highly recommend Jenny!

Tiffanie was great. Even though last minute, she came to meet the dogs before her stay. She took great care of them, sent lots of pictures, was very communicative-commenting on each dog’s personality so you know that she’s spending time with them, and left our house in perfect condition.

Pam was a great dog sitter! She saved us! At the last minute, a Rover sitter canceled and I contacted Pam and she immediately came over and agreed to watch the dogs. I knew they were in good hands when I met her. She is kind and sent pictures while we were away. Pam we really appreciate you!

Lydia was great! Although I requested her help with a very short notice, she was able to check in on my little Kody multiple times for the day. Kody has health challenges that Lydia was able to graciously work with. I am so grateful that Lydia could help. She truly saved the day!

About: I've been working with dogs since high school. First volunteering at the shelter and working at a daycare (mainly with dogs) and then progressing into some training. I've been working with cats almost all my life, fostering, volunteering and then eventually having my own!! I'm comfortable adminteresting meds to cats (oral, or inhalers) and walking moderate reactive dogs. I'm a college student so I have a lot of free time especially during the summer. Also have lots of availability during the working day I take great care in following any and all instructions. I make sure any pet is happy and well cared for when I'm pet sitting

I specialize in social psychology and I am intuitive to human and animal needs. As mentioned, I am an adjunct professor, write, and do photography.

I am also familiar with all types of animals and can care for your farm animals and other in door animals.

Julia was such a great dog sitter for my dog. He’s used to me being around 24/7 so I’m always worried about leaving him home alone. She took great care of him and put up with all his weird quirks and routines.

Brandy was an excellent overnight sitter. She treated Winnie, my awesome beagle mix, with love and affection. But she was also responsible, careful, and respectful of my home. She kept me up to date with their day-to-day activities by sharing texts and photos with me. I knew that Winnie would be in good hands as soon as I met Brandy, and my judgment was confirmed when I returned to find my pet well and my home tidy. I give Brandy my highest recommendation.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Solon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 230 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Solon. 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 Solon 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 Solon 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 Solon 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mount Solon. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
