“I’m so grateful for Hannah spending time with my cat while I was on vacation. She gave me peace of mind and kept me updated. She was great with my shy cat, getting him to warm up to her quickly. I’ll be looking to book with her again for sure!”
“Rebecca provided invaluable peace of mind on our recent week abroad. Her thoughtful questions during our first meeting, a thorough pre-trip care questionnaire, and regular communication/updates assured us our home and fur babies were in good hands. We returned to happy pets and plants and a spotlessly clean home. We rebooked with Rebecca for our 2025 trip with no hesitation.”
“Duncan stepped in to care for our pups while we were away. The dogs were fed, entertained, and loved extremely well. We will use him again and would recommend him to others. Arthur and Janette Plymouth”
“Darcy stayed with our three large dogs for 8 days and took the best care of them. She went above and beyond to make sure the house was very clean upon us returning home and made sure that our dogs were given lots of love while maintaining their typical daily schedules. We also loved receiving photo updates every day as well. Thank you again!”
“Liza was simply the best. Our dog got sick last minute and Liza saved the day. She was fantastic with my dog Tali who loved her. I would highly recommend Liza to anyone”
“My pups LOVED Meghan! She sent me updates and photos multiple times a day, was so communicative and I didn’t worry once that they weren’t being cared for while on my trip. As a neurotic dog mom booking her first time sitter, I couldn’t be happier that I found Meghan. Coming home to very happy, healthy dogs and a well cared for home was the best feeling ever! The dogs are already looking forward to my next trip!”
“Hannah was wonderful! She came for a meet and greet to meet our dogs in advance and then sent pictures and took great care of our pups while we were out of town. We have a rescue who is anxious and takes medication, and Hannah handled her needs patiently. We will definitely have Hannah come back!”
“Alyssa jumped in to watch my boys at the last minute and as always, goes above and beyond! She is always very communicative and tends to them as if they were hers. They boys love her and we appreciate all her kindness.”
“Margaret was wonderful! She shared so many fun experiences with our dog Daisy while she sat her at our house. She took her to the beach for the first time and played the entire time! We definitely recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m Phylicia. I’ve been around animals my whole life—dogs, cats, reptiles, you name it—so taking care of them has always been second nature to me. I also have pets of my own, so I totally understand how important they are to your family. As a teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to be available in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and during school vacations. I’m flexible, reliable, and easy to communicate with—qualities that pet parents really value in a sitter. When I’m caring for pets, I treat them like part of the family. I pay close attention to their needs and can quickly recognize if something seems off. Whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding routine, giving meds, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I’m all in.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 15! Dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and fish from all breads and ages, big or small. I take care in bathing, grooming, feeding, and walking! I am currently a full-time college student so I am only available during holiday breaks and in the summer. I take care of my own pets and sisters but I love to keep busy throughout the week!! I can keep to the schedule you give me for your companion! I can give baths, play, feeding, and go on walks. I take lots of pictures and will update you on how the walk/sitting is going frequently. I know every companion has their own personality and will take the time to get to know them to make their experience with sitters a comfortable one!
“Kailey was great! We have a brand new puppy and our older dog injured her paw, so it certainly wasn’t the easiest job but she handled it like a pro. She was communicative and professional.”
“I had a feeling from my first phone interview with Lynne that she was a keeper. She is an amazing person and it is or quite interesting to hear her story. After she came by for an introductory visit I had no doubt she would smother them with affection and companionship. I also appreciated her obvious skill as an experienced dog owner in setting limits for their behavior. Her little tike Milo got along great with our girls. We will be booking her again for our next trip for sure. She is a Gem!”
“JL was an absolute dream! My boys -- a cat and a dog -- were so well taken care of, as was my apartment. They adored him. Took the dog on long walks and followed feeding directions to a T. Would indubitably have him pet-sit in the future.”
“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”
“Jordan is the best sitter we have ever had. She takes such good care of our 2 dogs. She's always in contact and we appreciate the timely updates and pictures. She's always respectful of our home and leaves everything in order. We are so grateful to have found Jordan through Rover!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Myricks on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,938 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Myricks. 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 Myricks 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 Myricks 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 Myricks 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
