“Madison is WONDERFUL with the dogs. She does a great job giving attention to three attention-seeking dogs! It's so nice to leave and know your dogs are in great hands. Thanks Madison!”
“Annie was absolutely fantastic! My family had to leave town with short notice and Annie was able to stay in my home and tend to our Giant Schnauzer puppy. Tending a puppy of his size and nippy age is no small task, yet Annie was able to keep his puppy training and leash training going. She is super clean and polite as well. Highly recommend! Thanks Annie!!”
“Razan was great with our pets! She has a very calm and welcoming energy and even our kids commented on how little our (very reactive) dog was phased by her meet & greet visit. Razan provided lots of updates, pics and videos. She is a wonderful sitter!”
“Makenzie is amazing! I booked her on short notice, and she went out of her way to make sure we met and felt comfortable. We have three dogs—two Boston Terriers and a French Bulldog puppy—and she handled everything beautifully. I really appreciate her being upfront, and her rates are very reasonable. She followed the walking, medication, and feeding schedule perfectly. Makenzie is kind, responsible, and clearly loves animals. When we came home, the house was clean, she had even washed her own sheets, and most importantly—the dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Really appreciated Jacki's communication and care with Zoe. Zoe always misses me a lot and I appreciated Jacki's proactivity in making sure she felt safe and happy. Thanks again to Jacki - highly recommend this pet sitter.”
About: Hello! My name is Madi, and I love animals! Dogs, cats, any furry companion really. I have always loved animals, and bonding with them. They really are family, and bring magic daily. I have worked previously at Dogtopia boarding and daycare for dogs & tending to dogs. Pet care fits into my daily, and weekly schedule. At my home, I have 2 cats. Big animal lover. Currently, I work part-time for a senior living community and would love to spend time with furry friends providing companionship and support during daily or weekly visits. My cats are both curious, and have safety measures set up in my house. I’m also very comfortable with pet equipment / fences, if and when needed. I want them to feel safe, and have the freedom to run around and play too. They deserve to play, feel loved and be happy in their safe space too.
“Clare was great! One of our pups unexpectedly got sick while we were out of town and Clare was communicative, attentive, and handled the situation wonderfully. We really appreciated her care and communication, especially under unexpected circumstances. The house was also left clean and tidy. We would definitely recommend Clare!”
“She was patient with our youngest dog who managed to get very messy twice in our backyard and she took the time to get her all cleaned up despite watching our 3 dogs for the week. 3 dogs can be a handful and she did wonderful.”
“Zoe stayed at our house and took fabulous care of Finn while we were on an Alaskan cruise. She sent pictures and updates of Finn daily. He always looked happy & well taken care of. It was great to have her watch him. He’s a big cuddle bug & loved to cuddle with Zoe. Our house was just as clean as it was when we left it. Zoe even offered to wash sheets & towels before we got home. Will definitely book Zoe again next time we go on vacation.”
About: I grew up with an Anatolian shepherd lab mix and 2 cats and have been sitting/dog walking for friends and family for the last 10 years! I currently have 2 cats at home who were raised with a 50 pound dog, so I get the perfect mix of both worlds!! Especially when my cats try to bark at the front door and rip up their toys. I can’t wait to meet your best friends! I work early mornings to afternoons, so I am free to drop by first thing in the morning, afternoon, or late at night depending on your needs! I’m flexible for those situations where you can’t be home and just want the peace of mind knowing what your pets are up to! I would treat your pets as I do at home. I would never let your pets live in a situation that I wouldn’t be comfortable with myself! I’m here to make sure the time without their owners feels shorter

Penny is an absolutely incredible pet sitter and is my number one pick for watching my 2 dogs and staying at our home when we’re out of town. She always sends updates and photos daily, and is sure to reach out with any concerns or questions about the dogs or their care. I would recommend her to anyone to care for their pet(s). Also, our house is always tidy and clean when we get home- an added touch!
Danielle was wonderful! This was our first time using rover and we are glad to have booked with her while we were away. She was prompt, communicative, flexible when we needed to adjust plans, very respectful of our home, and took good care of our pup. Happy to book again! Thank you Danielle. 😊
Kirsten was great and provided updates throughout the week. I could tell that Julian was well cared for and receiving a lot of love/attention. She also went above and beyond by collecting my mail/packages and even washing the sheets before she left. Very thankful for Kirsten!!
Emily was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home with Enzo for 11 nights, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Leaving Enzo is incredibly hard for us—he’s our baby—and Emily went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. She sent photos and short videos throughout each day, including meals, walks, enrichment, and goodnights, and always kept us informed or asked questions when needed. It was clear from her updates—and their very sweet goodbye when we got home—that Enzo genuinely loved her. She was also incredibly respectful of our home. We left a clean house and came home to one, which was so appreciated after a long trip. Emily is sweet, funny, communicative, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I felt like both Enzo and our home were in wonderful hands. 10/10—we would absolutely trust Emily with Enzo again and highly recommend her!
Cameron is THE BEST! She’s always the first person I ask when I need house sitting/caring for my male Ragdoll cat. Cameron is the most caring, reliable and dedicated person to ever look after my cat Draco who has IBD and is on special diet. My cat Draco LOVES her, and gets very excited to see her every time. She treats Draco like her own and I am always relaxed knowing she is watching him whenever I’m gone on trips. ❤️❤️❤️
Seth was amazing to work with! He went out of his way to meet our dogs before we had to leave and took time for them to get comfortable with him. He was very interactive and communicative while we were away, and knowing they were being well taken care was a relief! We will definitely reach out to him again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! He took care of our 4-month-old puppy for two weeks, and anyone who has had a puppy that age knows they can be A LOT of work! 😅 He was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with her, and went above and beyond just watching her. He actually helped reinforce training and worked with her on good behaviors, which we really appreciated. It was so reassuring knowing she was in such capable hands while we were away. He kept us updated, took great care of her, and clearly put a lot of time and effort into making sure she was happy, safe, and well cared for. We came home to a happy puppy who had clearly been loved and well looked after. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!
Brad did such a great job. From the start he made me feel good about leaving my loved pets in his hands for a week. He was also a courteous guest and took great care of the house. I can tell that he kept my dogs and cat happy. I will definitely be asking Brad to watch my pets at my house in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Murray is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
