“Jennifer and her mom are a great team. This is the second time they’ve cared for my pups. They are great at communicating and I know my pups are being spoiled with lots of attention. They follow all my instructions, so when I leave I do not have to worry at all.”
“Christine was amazing with our furniture babies and able to roll seamlessly with the craziness of our needs, including an ear infection just before we left resulting in the need to administer medications and assisting with our flock of chickens. Would definitely recommend.”
“Debra was wonderful with all 3 of my German Sheppards 2 seniors that take medicine 2 times a day and a rowdy puppy. They were all happy and well taken care of my house was spotless even with 3 dogs. Debra great highly recommend her you will be extremely happy.”
“We are absolutely thrilled with Kayla as our dog sitter! She consistently demonstrates remarkable punctuality and her communication skills are top-notch, always keeping us informed. What we particularly adore is how she engages with our dogs, talking to them and making them feel comfortable and loved. Kayla has proven to be incredibly dependable and trustworthy, giving us immense peace of mind whenever we're away. We especially appreciate her effort to send us picture updates, which really brightens our day and lets us see how happy and well-cared for our furry family members are. Beyond these fantastic qualities, Kayla also embodies what we consider a truly great dog sitter to be: she's attentive to details, noticing any changes in our dogs' behavior or routine, and has a genuine love for animals that shines through in her care. Her ability to handle unexpected situations calmly, combined with her responsible and caring nature, makes her an invaluable part of our dogs' lives. We highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a truly exceptional and dedicated dog sitter”
“Danette is the best EVER house sitter, pup 🐶 caregiver!! Whether it's the 2 big girls or all 4 boys ands girls, she is the biggest, best animal lover around! We would highly recommend her to care for your animal companions.”
“Brittany took excellent care of our rambunctious puppy Emmy and old man Gibbs. They both appeared very comfortable with her. She followed routines and communicated daily. She is extremely trustworthy and we will be utilizing her services again.”
“Jes loves all animals, and that comes through in everything she does. She watched our two dogs for a long weekend. Our dogs loved her from the first meeting, and when we met to return keys after, they mobbed her and wouldn't leave her side - not our side - hers. She left our house in perfect condition after the stay. You couldn't ask for more from a sitter than Jes provided. 5 Stars are not enough!!!”
“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”
“Nancy pet sit our two rat terriers for a week. They stayed happy and ate well the whole time! Nancy kept us abreast of what was going on and sent photos of babies! She cl and the house and washed the sheets and remade the bed she slept in, I want to recommend Nancy who is looking for a mature and talented pet sitter!!! Laura Kelly”

“Connie was a wonderful dog-sitter for my elder dog Kelsey. She kept me informed and sent photos throughout the days I was gone. Kelsey warmed up to her very quickly. It's a nice feeling knowing I have a trustworthy dog-sitter to turn to when needed. I highly recommend Connie!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner and pet sitter for about 20 years, and taking care of animals has always been a huge part of my life. My family and friends have always called me for their pet-sitting needs and questions, so I’ve pretty much been the go-to pet person forever! 😂🐶 I absolutely love animals, and animals seem to love me right back! 🥰 I have a dog of my own, and I’m currently home most of the time since I’m not working right now. I already help take care of a couple of pets here in our community, and I’d love to help more of my neighbors! I can come to your home to walk your dog, let them out, feed them, give them attention, or take care/stay with them while you’re working, traveling, or just away for the day. If you need someone you can trust to love on your pets while you’re away, I’m your girl🤗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I have a dog of my own and have always enjoyed caring for animals. I currently have an open/flexible schedule and am able to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs throughout the day. My availability allows me to be dependable and attentive, while providing pets with the consistent care, companionship, and attention they need. If your pets are staying with me, they’ll have access to the dog park located right outside my apartment, where we can get plenty of exercise and playtime! I also have lots of dog-friendly toys and treats to keep them happy and entertained. 🐾 My dog, Honey, is very active and loving while also being calm and laid-back. She gets along wonderfully with other animals, so your pets will have a friendly companion during their stay. If I’m caring for your pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own environment. I’ll follow their normal routines as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and love while you’re away.
“Jennifer is always great with our Cru and I feel at ease knowing he's in good hands with her while we're out of town. We love that we've finally found a dependable sitter that understands his Boxer energy like we do. We love having Jennifer as our fur baby's sitter, and we will definitely be using her again in the future. Lisa, Dave, and Cru ☺️🐾”
“Ashley did an amazing job with our two rescue pups. She was even able to get my very nervous pup to come out of her she'll. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!”
“Montana is amazing and all my dogs love her. She is a wonderful person who loves what she does. I highly recommend her. She texted and sent photos. She made us feel safe leaving our furry babies as one is an elder dog.”
“I can’t thank Jacqueline enough for the amazing care she gave my dog. From the moment she took care of her, I could tell how loving, caring, and attentive she was. She treated my dog like her own and made sure she felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Jacqueline was wonderful with her, and I truly appreciate all the love, patience, and attention she gave her. I would absolutely recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pets. ❤️🐾”
“This was the first time I used Rover. My baby is 17 years old and he doesn't like change. But he loved Kimber. She took amazing care of him. If I ever need someone to watch Nacho again I would definitely use her.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Murdock is $55

Jennifer and her mom were once again amazing dog sitters for R outascal! They took such good care of him, took him on many walks and sent us lots of pictures! She even helped troubleshoot and take care of Rascal while he had a paw injury. We cannot recommend Jennifer’s services enough!!!
I knew Christine was the one I wanted to watch my baby as he has his tell-tale signs of who he really likes instantly. She was my first babysitter in 10.5 years. Popo sheds when he’s stressed and after a great weekend for me traveling, I know he also had a great weekend because my house isn’t filled with shedded hair. Highly recommend!
Haley is great with our pets, she’s in time and answers our messages quickly. She sends photos each day. She treats our pets like family. I have used Haley before and will continue to do so. I recommend her to those looking for a reliable, Friendly and responsible pet sitter.
Brittney was absolutely wonderful with Asta! He can be shy and apprehensive, but she was extremely patient and took the time to move at his pace. She also left our house clean and exactly how we left it. We really appreciated how comfortable she made him feel, and we will definitely consider booking her again!
Makayla is the first person we’ve ever used to watch our dogs in our home. She is dependable and kind and went above and beyond expectations. Makayla communicated regularly and welcomed questions and check-ins from us. Our labs were extremely well cared for! We were able to get out of town for an extended period and could completely relax knowing Makayla had things covered at home. 10/10 recommend Makayla (although we’d really love to have her all to ourselves! 😊)!
We had such a great experience with Abby ! She stayed overnight with our Golden Retriever and German Shorthaired Pointer and took excellent care of my boys. She was incredibly attentive and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. I really appreciated how consistently she kept us updated with messages and pictures—it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She did an amazing job, and I would absolutely rebook with her in the future. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾
Saige was excellent! She took very good care of our precious pug who suffers from separation anxiety. She stayed in our home for 10 days. Our home was as we left it. We are very happy with the level of care. We received photos daily which were reassuring to see our pug being in good hands. We highly recommend Saige.
Montana was just fabulous! This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous since I was on a cruise and would have limited contact, but Montana was just amazing the whole time. We hit it off right away at our meet and greet, and she was there every time we needed her to be, plus more! She even checked the “kids” one last time before we got home, which was so nice. We will 100% book with Montana again!
Kayleigh was wonderful…I had a great deal of peace while out of the country for my son’s wedding! It was the first time I left my fur babies with a hired sitter vs. a family member or friend! She sent me videos and pictures and was sure that Buddy, my high energy Portuguese Water Dog, got plenty of exercise! And she was happy to have Buddy sleep in the bed with her since that’s where he sleeps every night with me! Highly recommend her!!!
Both of my mini Australian Shepherd's adored Colin! He was very attentive and played with them a lot! They both slept like babies after he was here for the night! We will definitely use his services again ! Our dogs went to the front door to watch him, leave and looked sad! He was well loved and very respectful at our 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 Murdock 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 Murdock 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Murdock 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
