I highly recommend Gucci’s daycare sitter to anyone looking for dependable, professional, and loving pet care. As someone with a very busy schedule balancing work and school, having a sitter I can trust gives me tremendous peace of mind. Her communication is excellent—she keeps me updated consistently and sends pictures of Gucci throughout the day, which reassures me that he is safe, happy, and well cared for. It is very clear that Gucci is comfortable in her care because he never shows signs of anxiety when he returns home. In fact, he comes home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired from having such an active and enjoyable day. She is professional, attentive, trustworthy, and provides exceptional care at a very affordable rate. I truly feel that Gucci is in great hands whenever he is with her. I am beyond grateful to have found someone who treats my dog with such care and attention. Highly recommended!

Lauryn was wonderful. She stayed at our house with our dog with epilepsy while we went on vacation. She provided updates often, gave our dog plenty of enrichment and exercise, and left our house in perfect condition. We will definitely be booking her again!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I understand the routines, personalities, and little quirks that make each dog unique. Being a lifelong dog mom means I’ve handled everything — feeding schedules, exercise needs, training basics, medication routines, and plenty of love. I’m very active, so your dog will enjoy engaging walks, outdoor time, and fun play sessions that match their energy level. Whether they’re a high‑energy adventurer or a slow‑paced stroller, I make sure every outing is safe, stimulating, and tailored to their comfort. At home, I’m all about affection. Snuggles, belly rubs, ear scratches, and kisses are part of the daily routine. I create a warm, cozy environment where dogs feel secure, loved, and completely at ease. My goal is always to make your pup feel like they’re part of my family while you’re away. I’m a stay‑at‑home mom, which means my schedule is wide open and fully flexible. I’m home throughout the day and able to care for puppies and dogs anytime. Whether you need last‑minute help, daytime care, or consistent weekly support, I’m available and ready to give your pup all the attention, playtime, and snuggles they need. Your pup will have a blast here- a fenced yard to run and play. Have a sweet fur baby here to keep them company and help feel right at home. It’s a fun, safe, and social environment full of wagging tails. I’m also happy to stay in your home if your pup feels more comfortable in their own environment. I provide the same loving care, snuggles, playtime, and attention right where they feel safest. To help maintain their routine and provide consistent, reliable care. This option can help reduce stress and keep your fur baby in a familiar, comfortable space.

About: As a high school teacher, I’m dependable, patient, and calm under pressure. I’ve personally owned three dogs over the past 25 years, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I do not currently have pets in my home, which allows me to give focused attention and care to the dogs I work with. I also love being outdoors and enjoy walks, routines, updates, and helping pets feel comfortable and cared for. As a teacher, I’m very organized and consistent with routines. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. During the school year, I’m available in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active, outdoors, and dependable for both pets and their owners. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of attention. With my own dogs over the years, I loved taking them on walks, riverwalks, lake outings, and other safe outdoor adventures. I enjoy keeping dogs active, comfortable, and cared for while also respecting each owner’s routines and instructions.

Meghann was great with our dogs and cat. We could not believe how quickly our small dog, who is scared of everything and everyone, warmed up to her. Within a day she was snuggling up with Meghann on the couch. Totally unheard of. Our other dog, a lab, loved her as well, and the cat seemed as happy as he ever is. The house was clean and tidy when we got home. We would definitely have Meghann sit for us again.

My predictable routine allows me to provide dependable, consistent care, and I’ll always be upfront about my availability so you know exactly what to expect. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and well-being are my top priorities. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities.

Brianna was great! She was very accommodating to our pets' schedule and dietary needs. One of our pups had prescribed medicine to take of which he eventually figured out it was in his food and would spit it out. Brianna realized this and immediately took a different approach by crushing it to ensure he got what he needed. Brianna was very attentive and great at keeping us informed regularly of her interactions and observations.

FAQs for House Sitting - Murray

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Murray on Rover is $43.6 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 542 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Murray. 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 Murray 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 Murray 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 Murray 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 Murray. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
