“Alison was lovely. We requested her last minute but she somehow made it work to take care of our little baby rocky. She was on time, super sweet and very interested in learning about rocky. She send us pictures and told us updates of our baby almost every half an hour which was so sweet. Would definitely recommend booking with her :)”
“Javier is a terrific dog sitter! Punctual, great communicator, super considerate of our home, very easy to work with, and absolutely fabulous with our two goldens. Would recommend without reservations, and we will definitely be using him again in the future!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Paige is the first sitter we hire through this app. And the experience couldn’t have been easier. She came to the house to meet Toby a few days before the actual sitting and it was great, in general he is afraid of other people and has Separation Anxiety, but with her he was all happy and playful. On the sitting day she arrived on time, and took the time to go over the care details for Toby and he continued his regular routine. Additionally, she spent time playing with him throughout the day. Toby really liked spending time with her and it was like we had never left the house. She is a great sitter and we will be hiring her again.”
“Nicole was great! She watched our two dogs while we were away one night, and kept us posted with photos and updates the entire time. She was very thoughtful and caring with our fur babies, and has a clear love and appreciation of animals.”
About: I can handle dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. My regular clients includes dogs as small as a Rat Terrier and as large as a Weimaraner. I don't currently have other pets or small children at home, so no worries if your furry friend is not accustomed to that! I work 5 hrs a day , so I have plenty of time to play and be company to your pups. All other availability is on a case by case basis. Overnight is available most days per week. I have a fenced in yard and a quiet street near a local park to ensure high levels of activity. Inside, pets will get plenty of cuddles on the couch.
About: { PLEASE KEEP READING FOR LATENESS INFO & PRICING } I have many years of experience with all types and sizes of dogs. I have been taking care of my own as well and have experience with behavioral dogs as well. I am able to take care of your fur baby all week and at most times depending on my schedule and how ahead your request is. I focus on just making sure the dog is safe and just overall having a good time. If training is needed to address behavior issues, I can provide that as well.
“Joni took fantastic care of my shy foster Millie and has been incredibly accommodating with my last minute request. Even managed to plan for a meet and greet which absolutely helped Millie feel comfortable the next day for the actual sit. Joni sent many pictures and updats and my mind was completely at peace knowing Millie was in her gentle care. Joni also was very thorough with Millie’s schedule and routine, perfectly punctual, and very respectful of the house, leaving no trace behind! Thank you Joni!”
“Nathalia is amazing and incredibly reliable! She was so patient with our dog Mona—who can definitely be a bit of a Prima Donna—and cared for her as if she were her own. Natalia kept us updated with regular texts and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Mona was clearly happy, comfortable, and even made a new friend. Nathalia went above and beyond to ensure we felt at ease, and we will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! Nathalia, welcome to our pack!”
About: Hello, I’m a 27 year old who has loved animals their entire life. Currently I don’t have any pets but while I was younger my family always had animals in the house. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up around dogs and cats. When I moved away from home I started pet sitting for family friends and neighbors. I have pet sat cats, dogs, even a parrot and a snake. I love caring for other people's pets and understand the love and care that is expected when taking on this job. Caring for animals is one of my favorite past times. I currently freelance so my availably is extremely open. That also means your pet will get my full attention for any care they need. I work from home so I will have ample time to care for the pets. I also live walking distance from a park so walks will not be a problem. I don't currently have pets but the way I would care for pets in my home is by paying as much attention as I can to them. Making sure they are well fed, comfortable and relaxed.
About: I've been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years. I'm not just a caregiver; I'm a devoted pet parent myself. My own fur babies are like my children, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, attention, and respect. I work full time but with a very flexible schedule. I work from home & occasionally go into the city. I’m comfortable with all age groups Whether it's daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I bring patience, experience, and genuine affection to every visit. I understand how important it is to feel your pet is in good hands--and that's exactly what I strive to provide.
About: Hi! I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a love for animals. I’m caring, responsible, and excited to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your pet like my own while they’re in my care! Currently in school for my PhD so I have a lot of time when I’m home studying or doing work! If I do leave the house it’s only for a few hours at a time! I currently have no pets which can allow me to spend 1:1 time with your furry friends. They can stay at my house or I can come to yours whatever is most convenient!
“Thalia was amazing with our two dogs! She was super responsive, and receiving photo updates during every single visit gave us complete peace of mind seeing how happy and well-cared-for they were. She followed all of their feeding and medication instructions. We’re so grateful for her care.”
“Susi was awesome with our needy and crazy Jack Russell terriers and their sweet feline sister. Lots of fun pictures and attention to detail. I highly recommend Susi and the pets look forward to her next stay.”
About: I learned early on that wagging tails and puppy cuddles are the best part of life! With years of pet care experience, I ensure keeping dogs happy, healthy, and spoiled :) Currently working part time and doing online schooling! I’m available Monday/Tuesday/Friday from 7am-12pm Wednesday/Friday from 7am-8pm Saturday/Sunday from 8am-8pm Let me know what time works best for you :) I have two dogs in my home and keeping them happy and healthy is a main priority. Waking up to make sure they get their walks in because we all need our steps!! And then walking them at the end of the day so they are sleepy at nighttime :) They are basically my children.
About: I’ve been a pet owner since the age of 12 and have had the privilege to care for cats from newborns, rescues and seniors. I am currently volunteering at Friends of Linden Animal Shelter, where I provide care and support animals as they wait to be adopted into loving homes. I am passionate about animal welfare and with my background in Social Work am aware of how our pets play a role in the family dynamic. Looking forward to servicing every pet as if they are my own. My current work schedule allows me to care for your pups and kitties on weekdays after 6pm. I'm available for boarding on weekends. I am flexible to discuss availability to meet your pets needs. I provide attentive care while pets remain in the comfort of their own home and routine. Care includes feeding, fresh water, walks and playtime, litter box or waste cleanup. I provide updates via messages and photos to help ensure peace for owners while they are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Old Place
We had such a great experience with Brianna! She was incredibly accommodating with our super last-minute request and made the entire process so easy. She was a great communicator throughout, kept us updated, and even sent photos, which we really appreciated! This was our puppy’s first time using Rover, so we were naturally a little nervous, but Brianna made us feel completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!
Alison was so wonderful! She sent us so many photo updates throughout her stay which really put us at ease! She took such great care of our pups and followed all of our care instructions. She also left our home exactly the way we left it! We would love to book her for all of our future dog sitting needs!
Ms Krista was very professional and kind. During the time she had my keys to my house she was 1000% professional. Taking photos and videos of her visit and updateing every single morning with no problem not one. She was genuine and I truely appreciate her kindness and honesty. She is a perfect candidate for future pet sittings or anything. I recommend her strongly.
Shivarah was wonderful, from setting up a meet and greet prior to the booking to taking care of my two cats! It was so nice knowing that my boys were going to be well taken care of while I was gone. She was kind, attentive, a great communicator and sent pics every day. I highly recommend her!
Melanie was fantastic with Pancho and Taylor. Pancho is recovering from surgery, and Melanie’s veterinary background was a tremendous asset. I felt completely at ease leaving home, knowing both dogs, especially Pancho, were in the care of Melanie. Highly recommended!

FAQs for House Sitting - Old Place
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Old Place is $34 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $42 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.
As of October 2026, there are 18,910 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Old Place. 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 Old Place 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 Old Place 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 Old Place 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.
