“Rebecca did a wonderful job with our pups! We have a nervous Nellie and she spent extra time with them and worked around our flight schedule to reduce the time our pups would need to be crated. House was clean and neat when we arrived and we got twice daily updates. We’ll use her again if available!”
“Emma is great!! This was my first Rover experience and I was a little nervous going into it, but I completely trusted Emma with my pets. She provided my dog and cat with a lot of quality care, attention, and cuddles. She also was very accommodating with my schedule and communicated very well.”
“We used Damien for just a short 2 night trial trip and was great. One of our dogs gets very excitable when first meeting someone new, jumping up and not listening. She finally settles down, but takes some firm action at first to get her to listen. Damien was very patient but firm and after the first 20 minutes were buddies the rest of the stay, going back to her chill self. He was prompt, followed all instructions and gave lots of quality time with our dogs. We feel we can plan a longer trip now and feel confident dogs will be in good hands. I recommend Damien with confidence.”
“My pup is a senior and we do not leave her often so it was great to know Morgan was there with her at night. She took great care of our girl and we will absolutely use her again!”
“Meighan was great with my very needy dog! It put my mind at ease while traveling to know my dog was in such great hands! I came back to a very clean home and a happy dog. Thanks so much, Meighan!”
“Vanessa is pleasant and down to earth. Took good care of our fur babies for a night and provided walks and photos of their time together. We will be asking for her services in the future.”
“When Logan and Xena met Velma, it was ahroo at first sight! Because they are Shibas, this was impressive and we booked with her while we went on a week's vacation. Velma didn't dissappoint! She dropped Xena's eye on schedule and coaxed Logan into his nightly medication. Velma made sure the puppers were happy and cared for. When we arrived home, the house was neat and tidy, just like we left it. Velma will be Xena and Logan's friend furever.”
“Our Family had a fairly long trip and did not want to put our dogs in a different location. Looking on Rover we found Phillip who responded right away. Our trip was through Thanksgiving and that was not a problem for him. He came over to meet our two dogs and they took to him right away. Received updates from him even though for us maybe a little more communication would have been nice but the over-all experience was really good. When we returned back from our trip and he dropped off our house key the dogs were so very excited to see him. Normally when we are gone and come back our dogs tend to not be themselves for a while. We got right back into things with them like we never left. Thanks for taking such good care of our girls.”
“Julie was absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of my Mazie girl. Mazie is a newish rescue and she is nervous at first. Julie has a very calming presence and Mazie seemed comfortable with her right away. She also took great care of my home during her stay. I highly recommend Julie for your pet sitting needs.”
“Monique and John are incredibly sweet and thoughtful, as well as thorough. They also left the house clean, they were very patient with my rescue dog, and they were great about checking in throughout the sit. I’ll definitely book their services again!”
“Claire was pleasant to work with and asked excellent questions when she met our three labs. Our dogs loved her and we enjoyed seeing Claire’s updates and pictures. Most of all, it was so nice to come back to the house just the way I left it, ready for holidays guests!”
“Kyle was great! Our sitter canceled last minute and Kyle came to the rescue. The animals and house were well cared for. He watched a multitude of animals; cat, dogs, fish and lizard. All were happy and healthy upon our return and home was spotless. Definitely reach out to Kyle for your pet sitting needs!”
“she was amazing!! had a great meet and greet, updated us while we were gone, and left a thank you note as we left a ‘welcome’ note. it was a place having her watching our pet kids and we are looking forward to her next visit with us :)”
“First time booking Audrey for house sitting (have booked previously for drop in visits) and I am very happy when I come home to two happy cats and a clean home. Thank you Audrey :)”
“We have a 1.5 y/o puppy and a 14.5 y/o dog who have very different needs. Amanda seemed to navigate that with ease and was very good about asking questions in both the intro meeting and during the first stay.”

Macie is excellent. Easy to communicate with from the beginning. Efficient in meeting us and our pup. Helped us integrate into Rover as newbies. Communicated well with us during our travels. We got great photos and updates. Our home was left clean and in perfect order. We will be rebooking.
We had a great experience with Jessalyn. From the start, communication was prompt, friendly, and professional. She took the time to learn about our dogs' routines and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that our dogs were happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention and exercise. I'm pretty certain our dogs got more attention and had more fun than if we were here those days. She watched our dogs over the 4th of July weekend which is always extremely tough on our dogs as they both get very scared by fireworks. We could tell by the pictures that our dogs felt safe with her. When we returned, our dogs were relaxed and content. It felt like we hadn't even been gone. She even washed and folded the bathroom and kitchen towels before she left. We truly appreciate the care and kindness Jessalyn showed, and we're looking forward to booking with her again.
Bryce was absolutely amazing! He took great care of our dog and home while we were out of town for a week. Bryce was very diligent to make sure that our dog followed his regular routine like walks, feeding schedule, etc. My partner and I greatly appreciate the respect he had for our home and the love he showed our dog. We would absolutely recommend Bryce and will certainly book with him again in the future.
Jenny was great with my 2 dogs! She was always on time, great communication, and was very good with both my puppy and my more difficult adult male dog who is reactive on leash and can be mouthy. She is wonderful with my dogs and has been a repeat sitter and walker for me and I will continue to rehire her in the future!
I am so grateful for Kimarie. She was amazing with my two senior dogs Lulu and Ruby. If I couldn’t be with them, I would choose Kimarie to care for them. I highly recommend Kimarie to anyone looking for a responsible dog/house sitter that you can completely trust! Much thanks to Kimarie!
We just moved to Spokane and we have a Chihuahua and a German Shepherd/Belgium. Addison followed all of our instructions and informed us about a potty accident and cleaned it. Which we were really thankful for. Addison, is transparent and honest about what goes on with the dogs and that gave me comfort, knowing that we could trust her.
Kathy was so great with my fur babies! Constant attention, love, ball throwing, more attention and when I ran out of the dogs bougie rice appetizer , she made him more. They were well loved and taken care of while I was gone. House looked great when I got back! Couldn’t be happier
I highly recommend Eowyn!! Eowyn took care of our anxious dog while we traveled. We came home to a calm and content dog, a clean home, and well watered plants! We received daily photo updates from Eowyn and when we saw our dog interact with Eowyn, Eowyn’s skill in understanding dogs and connecting with them was obvious. Our dog was licking Eowyns face within a few minutes of meeting Eowyn!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Opportunity on Rover is $55.5 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 755 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Opportunity. 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 Opportunity 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 Opportunity 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 Opportunity 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 Opportunity. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
