“You’ll never find someone better than Lydia. Hands down the master at dog sitting and dogs in general. We don’t have the easiest pup and she loves her like her own and handles her perfectly. She sends pictures and updates frequently and is super accommodating for your schedule. Thank you tenfold always!”
“Nico is great to work with, we are so glad and grateful! We went on a multi-night trip out of state and Nico stayed over with our two kitties. Nico was very communicative the entire stay—we have an anxious kitty so this is very important to us! When we came back, the kitties were in good spirits and the house was well cared for! We definitely would book with Nico again! Thanks again!”
“Asia took great care of our pup, Juniper, as well as our house. She was really helpful and responsive to our messages. Our flights kept changing and Asia was flexible and made sure Juniper wouldn’t be left alone too long waiting, especially while there were thunderstorms (which scare Juniper). We came home to a happy healthy pup!”
“Katie was great, so many photo updates of our dog and cat while we were gone. Everything went super smoothly, she even wanted to make sure our dog had a clean face from eating her wet food. Would absolutely book again.”
“Zoe was amazing! We were very nervous in introducing our newest dog as this would've been the first time we left the two dogs together at home. Zoe, was prompt, attentive and the dogs warmed up right away. Highly recommend Zoe to the Rover community.”
“Elizabeth Took care of my precious pepper (dog)and Ziggy (cat) for 2 weeks, Elizabeth did a great job, with a lot of love and care. I will definitely will recommend to my family and friends to contact and use her services, she’s the best.❤️”
“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”
“My old cranky kitty and my bouncy young dog love Naya! I always travel with peace of mind, knowing that Naya is in charge. We have booked Naya several times.”
“She was able to housesit for our two fur babies while we saw some family. She had great communication and updates and we were very reassured they were in the best hands possible getting all the loves and walks. Ten stars.”
“Samantha stayed in our home with our two girls. She updated me everyday and was a very respectful house guest! Everything was tidy and just where we had left it. The girls were happy and I doubt they missed us at all 😂. I would definitely recommend Sam!”
“Imani was super informative about the process of dog sitting since it was my first time using Rover! She was easy to work with and my dog loved her. She went above and beyond taking my dog to the dog park when not required. I would definitely book her again.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Ivan provided for our pups and cat! He was absolutely outstanding—thoughtful, reliable, and clearly loves animals. He kept us fully up to date throughout our time away, sending lots of pictures and regular updates that gave us total peace of mind. Our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned. We will definitely use Ivan’s services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitting.”
“Isabel was fabulous! She was so kind, responsible & understood my dogs in quirks. She was on time, even early. I have had a hard time finding someone & she worked out perfect. I will be using her in the future for sure.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
Asia took care of our dog Luna over a long weekend trip. Lu is ~10 years old and has various quirks that go along with that, Asia was patient and caring with her. She administered her medication, followed our instructions, and sent us several updates. Asia was also very responsive and respectful of our home. I would recommend Asia as a pet sitter for anyone.
Ana was incredible and I could not recommend her enough! She was wonderful with my goofy, active golden retriever, communicative, and she left my house just as clean if not cleaner than I left it for her. I will absolutely ask Ana to watch my dog and my house again!
Tess was very helpful and caring with our dogs. She took over the job last minute and we appreciated her to make it work for us! We had a last minute cancellation from another sitter and we were very stressed finding someone so she was able to help . Thanks a lot for all the updates and pics , we definitely recommend her services !
Kellyn was a dream with taking care of our boys and our home during a 2 week trip. Kellyn communicated well, met their needs, and adapted to their quirks. There was total peace-of-mind while we were gone. And we cannot forget that Dumpling is now Ziggy’s best friend! We’re just sad we weren’t there to see that friendship blossom. Thank you Kellyn and Dumpling! ☺️
I can’t recommend Joey enough, he did an incredible job watching our dog and cat for an entire week while we were away. He took the best care of our animals, and gave us plenty of updates and pictures! There was never a single second we worried while being away - he treated our animals as if they were his own. Thank you so much again!
Jess was excellent! We had a last minute schedule change with another sitter, and Jess kindly jumped in on short notice to help us out. Our dog, Honey, can be slow to warm up with strangers, but between the very warm welcome he gave her at the meet & greet and the daily pictures Jess sent, he was a big fan of her! Definitely will be rebook Jess in the future!
Taylor was a great dog sitter for our 15 week old puppy. When meeting our puppy, she took the time to listen and acknowledge all of our requests and was very accommodating. While watching our puppy, she was great at keeping us updated with statuses and pictures/videos. We would highly recommend and would rebook!
Imani was absolutely amazing! She watched all three of our dogs, one of ours and two of my parents, who each have very different personalities and needs, and handled everything so well. She was on top of everything from start to finish, kept us updated, and sent us pictures throughout our time away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for pups! It’s not always easy trusting someone with your dogs, especially three at once, but we felt completely comfortable knowing they were with Imani. We would absolutely recommend her!
Hannah looked after our dog and cat recently and did an amazing job! She consistently checked in with any questions, gave medication, and sent daily pictures which was really appreciated. When we got home the house was also in perfect condition. She took great care of our house, watered plants, and was very thoughtful about cleaning up. We definitely plan to have her watch our girls again!
Juliet was great! We would certainly rebook in future. Juliet watched our kitties over long weekend. When we came back it was clear the kitties were well cared for and the apartment well maintained! Juliet was communicative and understanding of our pet’s different personalities and needs! Would recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Vernon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mount Vernon on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,152 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Vernon. 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 Vernon 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 Vernon 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 Vernon 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
