“Larcy was very sweet when meeting her and took lots of notes and asked many questions. That gave us so much peace of mind already knowing we would be leaving our babies in such caring hands. While we were gone she sent us update photos regularly which really put us at ease while we were away and left us a nice note for when we got home. The house was clean and the pups seem happy and healthy. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Brittney and Xime and again they were excellent communicators and very understanding and flexible. They got my normally skittish boy to trust them completely. Will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Danielle was very professional and courteous with our 3 pets. Our cat warmed up to her quickly and our very shy pup took it in stride. I knew she would be great when she came in and noticed Buttercup was shaking and nervous. She took her time and read through our instructions very thoroughly. We would definitely hire her again and recommend her for your pet needs. Thank you!!”
“Julie was a great helping looking after my puppy! He was so well taken care of and it allowed me and my family to work stress free! Would 100% rebook with Julie in the future!!”
“Katelynn was wonderful! She took such great care of our boys while we were gone, sent regular pictures and updates, and helped us feel good about our vacation knowing our fur babies were in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
“We've booked with Morgan a few times now and we're really happy every time we do. She makes sure the house is exactly like we left it, clean and well taken care of, and our little puppy girl is loved and cared for while we're gone. She's super easy going and communicates just the right amount. Morgan makes it so easy for us to take a trip when our pup can't go.”

“Kathi was a fantastic sitter! She was available last minute for house sitting for us over Christmas, and our trip would not have been possible without her help! We have two needy animals—a cat with asthma and a dog with cancer—but Kathi rose to the occasion! She made sure our cat got her silly inhaler twice a day and that our dog got her meds and hourly potty breaks. Kathi is a funny and charming soul, and we appreciated her daily messages and pictures while we were away. We would highly recommend her and plan to book with her again!!”
“Kaitlyn took care of our three kitties for an extended vacation, including pilling, cleaning, reporting on minor concerns, taking care of the house, and cleaning everything up for our return. She updated us very consistently and with pictures, which was super helpful and reassuring as this was our first trip away from them for more than 8 hours due to one of them requiring a medication every 8 hours. In addition to doing a great job, she is a delight to talk to and all of her communication from start to finish has been professional and prompt. We highly recommend Kaitlyn!”
“Brooklin stayed at our house for 10 days to take care of our elderly dog and our very energetic puppy. She went above and beyond in every way and did an amazing job!!!! She cared for and looked after our dogs like they were her own. Our puppy had some medical issues while we were gone and Brooklin handled them perfectly. She also was very respectful of our house while she was staying here. We highly recommend Brooklin for any services that Rover offers!!!”
“We LOVE how much Shalindra loves our dogs, and they love her! She keeps us thoroughly updated and sends plenty of pictures and videos so we know they’re doing well. She is someone who you know just adores spending time with dogs, which helps us know she’s enjoying her time with our pups, even if one of our dogs is insane haha. Highly recommend Shalindra if you want someone to truly enjoy hanging out with your pups and update you along the way.”
“Stephanie followed the plan and played with Brodie as scheduled. She was allowed to bring one of her dogs so Brodie would have a playmate. Brodie loved her and we would definitely hire her again.”
“She was wonderful! Sent many pictures and updates and expressed often how much she enjoyed staying with my two boys. She has such a friendly attitude and I’m so glad that she was there for them!”
“Willa has been fantastic as a stay in sitter! Willa is collaborative and gives plenty of updates. She exercises my pup frequently and more than enough! What a delight to work with. ☺️”
“John was a fantastic dog sitter. He was punctual and kept us well-informed with regular updates and photos of our pup. We appreciated him staying at our house for extended periods, including overnight. Upon our return, we were delighted to find our home clean and tidy. John went the extra mile by washing the sheets and towels, and we were pleasantly surprised to find fresh eggs from his chickens. We highly recommend John and would definitely book him again.”
“This is our second booking with Alexis. She did a great job again. Easy to get a hold of, and responds in a timely matter. She took care of our two boys and sent us updates. Our house was very clean when we cam back from our week trip. Would book again and again and again!!!”
“Isabel is the best! From when I first met her at the meet and greet I knew she would be great for Roxy. She took great care of my fur baby. She gave Roxy lots of attention and loves just what my little separation anxiety girl needs. She sent pictures and video daily and was quick to respond whenever I reached out. When our flight got delayed she was so understanding and helpful. It was a big relief she could work it into her schedule to stay another night. I can’t recommend her enough! She will always be my first choice, thank you Isabel!”
“This is the second time that Brooke has watched my two German Shepherd’s. She does a great job both house sitting and dog sitting. My pups are always tired and happy when I get home! Highly recommend!”

Dani took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away. She was caring and attentive, took them on regular walks, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We always felt secure knowing they were happy, safe, and well cared for. We would gladly have Dani watch our dogs again and highly recommend her to others.
We had a wonderful experience with Raven. She was a great communicator, kept our home clean and well cared for, and took such amazing care of our pup while we were away. She also sent lots of pictures of all the cuddles and walks, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our girl was happy and in such good hands. We would absolutely use Raven again and highly recommend her!
Joshua was great! He stayed at my home with my three large dogs for 10 days! My doggos aren’t always he’s easiest (one is a puppy and one can be moody) but Joshua cared for them as I would. Made my traveling so much easier knowing that my fur babies were in such good hands! Will definitely be rebooking!
Cassie was nothing short of amazing! We have an older pup who is hard to leave with anyone who doesn’t u destined her and some needy kitty’s. Cassie stayed at our house and cared for our animals and our house like it was her own. I can’t feel you how much it made our vacation better knowing that everything was in great hands. And coming home was a breeze! I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future when we need a sitter!
Isabel responded to a last minute house sitting request and even made time to come by before we left to meet us and our pups! She took great care of them and our home and sent us lots of photos and videos. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again!! Thank you Isabel!
Lisel took great care of my pets, and kept in regular touch with updates and pictures. When I returned home the animals were all happy and well looked after. She even got my skittish/shy cat to warm up to her! I’m very happy and hope that for my next trip out of town, Lisel will be available to watch my furry family
Kathi, our pup sitter, was incredibly attentive and caring when taking care of our pups overnight. She was punctual in her arrival and promptly sent us pictures of how they were doing. We thoroughly enjoyed having her watch them and would definitely book her again for another time. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pup sitter!
This is our second booking with Alexis. She did a great job again. Easy to get a hold of, and responds in a timely matter. She took care of our two boys and sent us updates. Our house was very clean when we cam back from our week trip. Would book again and again and again!!!
Heather is an awesome sitter! I’m so thankful when she’s available to sit our dog; I never have to worry both she and our home will be perfectly cared for. She also sends very thorough updates, and some of the photos she’s shared with us are some of my favorites of our dog ever!
Kaitlyn did such a wonderful job watching my 2 cats and my dog!! She treated them as if they were her own, and it showed. They all take medicine and have complex diet needs and she was very comfortable making sure they each stayed in their specific routine. She sent excellent daily updates with pictures which were adorable. I was able to really enjoy my trip knowing Kaitlyn was caring for my crew. I will definitely have her back for my next trip!! The house and animals were just like I left them. 🥰🐱🐶🦁

FAQs for House Sitting - O'Brien
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in O'Brien on Rover is $44.4 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 8,296 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across O'Brien. 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 O'Brien 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 O'Brien 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 O'Brien 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 O'Brien. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
