“Amanda was awesome!! You can tell she really loved on my lab the way I do. I had a bad experience prior to Amanda so I was scared to leave my dog with a sitter, but she was sending pictures and communicated thoroughly the entire time I was gone. Will definitely book again and am grateful for a good experience!”
“Julie was wonderful! She came by before the stay to meet the dogs and get a lay of the land. She sent picture updates each evening, and kept me in the loop! I will definitely be booking with Julie again!”
“James is fantastic! He has watched our dog (and house) several times. It is obvious that he loves animals and he is very neat and conscientious staying at our house. It has been so helpful having someone we trust to take care of things while we are gone. Highly recommend!”
“Lanae is the best. She sends lots of pictures and takes great care of all of our pets. Our house is also well kept while she stays with the animals. We have booked Lanae three times in a month.”
“Gianni is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our furry troop! Right off the bat when we first met him and his wife we got an excellent first impression. Our two boys were very well taken care of while we were gone for the day. Gianni checked on them repeatedly throughout the day, fed them dinner and spent time with them. Both boys were calm and relaxed when we came home. I highly recommend Gianni and his wife for any pet sitting needs ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Gianni responds fast to your messages and awesome communication. We will definitely be using Gianni again in the future.”
“Sarah was perfect! It was a last minute booking and she was a godsend. She came to meet me and my dog Tegan before the trip, communicated and sent pictures and it was such a relief for me! She took amazing care of my dog, gave her her medicine and sent me updates. I will definitely use her again and again!”
About: With 25 years of experience caring for dogs, I know they're not just pets, they're family! What sets me apart is the love, patience, and personal attention I give every dog in my care. I take the time to understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just relaxing together, I treat every dog like my own. My goal is simple: a happy, well-cared-for pup and complete peace of mind for you while you're away! My schedule is very flexible throughout the week, allowing me to give your pet plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship while making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for! We live in a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood on a spacious one-acre property with a fenced yard. Your pet will enjoy a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of room to play and feel right at home!
“Loren was just amazing! We have 3 fur babies with 3 different personalities and they loved her!! Molly, our oldest, sat next to her when we were touching base and kept giving her sad eyes and Raven, the baby had to give her lots of love before she was able to leave. We will be repeat with Loren! Amazing!”
“Bhavana did a great job house sitting and watching our two pups! She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. She sent us photos and our pups looked happy. It's always a relief to not have to worry while you are out of town. We requested her services last minute because our original plans fell through so we are very appreciative of Bhavana!”
“I couldn't be happier with Lori! She took excellent care of my kitty while I was out of town. Not only did she go above and beyond by messaging me with daily updates with photos and videos, but she was also extremely responsive and kind, as well as accommodating when my trip got extended unexpectedly. I will definitely be booking Lori again and again!”
“Followed instructions very well and left the place spotless after leaving! Goose was very well looked after and in great hands. Thorough communication and daily pictures were a big plus. Will book again.”
“We had a great experience with Brittney. She stayed at our home with our three pets and took excellent care of all of them. One dog is very shy and timid, and one dog has just had surgery. Brittney handled all the medications and kept me updated on all pets. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring person to look after their pets.”
About: Hey my name is Ansley. I am a part time student in Athens. I am looking to take care of animals on the side while working around my school schedule. I have two sweet dogs at my home. A goldendoodle and a shih tzu. I am very active and a wonderful dog sitter. We do have a dog park at my apartment/house like. I have always loved dogs and cared very much for them. I also have a background with Caring as a babysitter/nanny but I decided to switch it up a little when I came across this website. Due to the fact I could get paid while doing what I love! I am very reasonable with prices and willing to accommodate for families.
“Michelle has been so awesome while my fiancé and I have been staying in Tuscaloosa, AL on an assignment for work. She has come through when we have needed to go away for a few days or just when our schedules are super busy and we need help with the dog. She’s great and sends lots of pictures!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover since the tender age of 8! I have loved, lost, rescued, breed, cared for, treated, trained, groomed, etc; and have the stories to go with it! I can’t wait to meet my new canine family’s🥰🐕🐩🐕🦺🦮 I am currently in online school which gives me plenty of time to devote the time and care to giving your pet a comfortable and happy home while you’re away. We offer a large fenced in yard in the county with a lake! Plenty of room to roam and squirrels to catch! We also have a large screened in back porch to relax and stay warm.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and empathy I bring to every pet I look after. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family—not just animals. Recently, I experienced the loss of my own beloved fur baby, which deepened my appreciation for the trust pet owners place in someone caring for their pets. That experience reinforced how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs, whether that means extra playtime, a slower pace for a senior pet, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Pet parents can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pet is receiving genuine care and attention. My goal is not just to watch your pet—it's to make them feel cared for, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a structured schedule that allows me to plan dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so providing consistent care, attention, and updates to pet parents is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's maintaining a pet's regular routine, administering medications if needed, or simply providing extra affection and exercise, I make sure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, preferences, and any special instructions. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible through regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I monitor pets closely, ensure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and opportunities for play and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Overlook
We were headed out of state on vacation and Kelly and Ronnie were booked in an emergency when the pet sitter that was scheduled fell through. They had no prior experience with either of my dogs and just brief knowledge that they were both rescued from abusive situations. My boy dog warmed up to them immediately during out meet and greet but he is a very friendly dog so that was not unusual. My girl dog loved Ronnie but was apprehensive of Kelly at first. We discussed what a normal day looked like for the dogs and what a normal day looked like for Kelly and Ronnie. We agreed and they were hired. Ronnie stayed overnight with the dogs since my girl was apprehensive of Kelly but Kelly came every day at noon to play.with them. The first few days my girl didn't do much but baek at Kelly. After day three my girl sat next to Kelly and offered her hand to shake and they were friends since then. We received photos and great communication with both Ronnie and Kelly daily. The dogs got daily exercise in the backyard (we requested no walks because they are big dogs and I didn't want them to get away), and plenty of treats and love from them both. We felt so grateful and fortunate to have Kelly and Ronnie here to look after our fur babies. They were so happy while we were gone and calm when we arrived home. OH!! And our home was just as clean as we left it when we returned!! They offered to water our plants and our outdoor area for us, and take out our trash! We came home to a clean home and happy pups. We will always use Kelly and Ronnie for future trips!
This is the second time we book Blythe (first was just drop-ins). Recently, My husband and I went out of town for work, and Blythe stayed all 5 days at our house to take care of our furry babies. The peace of mind knowing our three kitties (one is a kitten with some health issues) stayed in the comfort of their environment/home was priceless! She not only ensured they were fed, but Blythe also gave the kitten his meds several times a day, every single day. She played with them, sent a bunch of pictures of their sillyness, and communicated everyday. She is truly the best! We’re blessed to have found Blythe, and we recommend her 100%. She’s now my official go-to sitter. She’s also an amazing, lovely woman. Her positive and jovial personality is just what we need more of in this world! Thank you, Blythe!!
Allyson is as absolutely fantastic! From our first meet and great me and my fur baby instantly loved her. She spoiled my baby with love and affection. She kept me updated daily. My house was immaculate upon return. She even washed sheets and put back in bed. Allyson is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time and a keeper! I honestly can’t say enough great things about her!
We had a wonderful in home sitting experience with Erin! First time using an in home sitter and with a new puppy, so I was extra nervous. Erin went above and beyond! She kept to both of our dog’s schedules and made sure our older dog got the attention he needed while being extra careful with the puppy. We will definitely book again and would 100% recommend to other pet owners!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Overlook is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $82 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.

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 Overlook 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 Overlook 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 Overlook 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.
