“Lois was wonderful with our dogs and as a housesitter. It was clear to us in photos that Rosie got lots of exercise chasing balls and our older dog Lola was comfortable. We appreciated Lois visiting us for a meet and greet when we met her. She communicated with us with photos and videos often while we were away. Highly recommend.”

She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay, took the dogs on walks each day, and I came home to two happy pups and a clean, well-cared-for house. I really appreciated the extra care and attention she gave them and would absolutely book with Asia again. Highly recommend! Thank you Asia! 😊”

Most importantly, she spent quality time with my two senior pups. I will definitely be using her again!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I was in a real bind as a house-sitter I had set to help me had a family emergency 10 days before my trip. I then went on Rover and picked some possible matches. Lauryn was first to respond and was willing to help with my dog and three parrots. My dog loved her the first time they met. She did a great job and I plan to definitely use her house sitting services again.Your pets will be in good hands with Lauryn.”

Another great experience with Cassie. I came home to two very happy and healthy girls. The peace of mind being able to travel and know they are being loved and cared for is immeasurable. She even stayed a bit long as we were delayed in getting home and made sure they got some extra activity before she left. I highly recommend Cassie!
Kara was a lifesaver. This was my first time ever using a service like Rover. I’ve never left my dog with anyone before never friendly felt comfortable, but this time I had to try Kara was a true blessing. She took her time with Braxton. My dog is really not as social and only really likes 2 people . Kara was patient and kind with him. It took him a while to warm up to her,but I think eventually overtime he will get used to her. I felt comfortable leaving her with Braxton and the videos and update she sent me eased my mind. I really appreciate all of her patience with Braxton and I’m sure the more o utilize her service, the better he’ll be. I highly recommend Kara. She was very comforting, calm, and patient.
Lois was phenomenal with our two fur babies! We had a last-minute cancellation that really put us in a tight spot, and she was super quick to help us out and accommodate our needs. As soon as we met her, we knew this would be a great fit for our husky and pitbull. She sent us many updates, photos and videos of the pups, and we could tell she really cared for them while we were gone. We will absolutely book her again and can’t thank her enough for helping us out!
Kalliope spent the holiday weekend taking care of my two dogs. She was communicative and share photo updates of the dogs over the weekend. When I came back my house was organized and cared for plus my dogs were happy. I will be booking kalliope again in the near future.
Jasmine is fantastic!! She made my dogs feel comfortable, safe, and loved. This was the longest time I’ve ever left my dogs and she helped calm my nerves about it! She would send me detailed messages about how they were doing and was very prompt with responding. I would 100% use her again! She is amazing!
Maria takes such great care of our crew every time she is here. We could tell when we got home that they were so loved and well cared for by her! They were excited to see us, but we know that they were happy and content the entire time Maria was with them. We cannot recommend Maria enough—she has become our go-to sitter for our boys. Thank you, Maria!
Tara came through within a day when our petsitter had to cancel for medical reasons, two days before our travel. Very quickly she gave us confidence that she could take care of a big dog and two cats - and she did! We got regular updates and pictures showing happy, content pets and when my flight was delayed, she came back to walk the dog that night, without hesitation. To us, it's all about the pets and their care and safety, and without hesitation I would use Tara again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Overlea
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Overlea on Rover is $44.4 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 3,149 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Overlea. 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 Overlea 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 Overlea 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 Overlea 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

- 94% 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.
