“Amanda is great! She is a great communicator, both during the stay and leading up to the stay. She left the house in immaculate condition and sent photos or our pup every day. We will definitely be booking her in the future!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and taken care of them for about 4 years previously, bathing and trimming nails and watching them for as long as necessary. I find a lot of joy in helping others care for their pets and look forward to meeting any I come across. I’m currently working part time and trying to save up to afford a place to live once I move out within the year. I have a lot of free days and have a schedule I can provide if needed in order to keep the process smooth and easy. I keep a close eye on the time and necessary schedule provided when I come and care for your pet, giving them plenty of attention whenever they need it. I am very passionate about animal care and always make sure to keep a close eye on them.
“Julie was wonderful with my little monster! She house sat for a few nights with my 7 yr old cat - I came back to a happy, healthy kitty, and a tidy house. My cat has separation anxiety, but she did her best to try and make him comfortable, and give him space when required. She gave me lots of updates, and quelled my concerns I had from a bad sitter experience a few years ago.”
“Amanda was great with all 3 of our large breed dogs! She provided frequent updates and our dogs seemed to really feel comfortable with her. We highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Briana picked up my last minute job and she was a livesaver! She did a fantastic job, communicated well and my animals liked her. It's such a relief to have a responsible pet sitter that I know I can trust! I would definitely love to hire her again and will highly recommend her.”
“Taylor did an amazing job with our dog Ellie Mae. Ellie is very afraid of fireworks and thunder. While we were away we had several thunderstorms and Taylor made sure to take extra special care of Ellie. She kept us updated daily with photos of a happy dog. I would highly recommend Taylor to anyone that is using Rover to find an excellent in home dog sitter. We will definitely be using her in our future needs.”
About: I regularly sit for my Dad. I've also consistently sat for friends, family friends, or neighbors. All have been different ages, sizes, and needs. I've helped train my dad's dog from puppyhood. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have time to be play with pups! I'll have time to stay for longer times with your pups until my shift. I can also do my job while being with pups if needed. If you're home has a fence, then I'll let them out off leash. If there is no fence, I will use the leash to let them out. (My family dog tends to run off if we don't leash him in the front yard so I understand the struggles) I'm comfortable with crating your dog while I'm working or at night if that is what you do. I'm also comfortable if that isn't the case.
About: Hey guys! I’m an Army Veteran with 20 years of dog care experience. I have two dogs myself and trained my Cane Corso puppy to be a Service Dog. I understand that our dogs are our family. I am very friendly and accommodating and I will do anything I can to take good care of your pets. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can provide excellent service to you and your pets! I am currently in school and have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can accommodate any schedule and facilitate whatever you or your pet needs. I am very dependable and trustworthy. Whether I have your pets in my home or yours, you will receive adequate communication and pictures so you can rest easy knowing that your pet is in good hands. Your pet will be treated as if they were my own.
“Diana was great! She did a fantastic job. She kept us informed of how things were going and sent us photos throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and hope to book her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from raising puppies to supporting senior dogs with medical needs. My last dog was with me for 15 years and eventually became blind-she was also epileptic, so I’m very comfortable with patience, medication routines, senior care, and providing calm, attentive support to anxious or aging pets. I currently have a well-socialized 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer that I raised from 8 weeks old, so I understand the importance of structure, consistency, exercise, and positive interaction. As a retired military veteran, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and home full time, which means pets in my care receive a lot of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and home full time. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication support if needed, and lots of supervision throughout the day. Because I don’t have children or a demanding work schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In my home, pets have access to a safe, calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and potty breaks. I also have a friendly 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer who enjoys the company of other dogs. I follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications, crate preferences, and exercise needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible while also making sure they receive attention, affection, exercise, and attentive care.
About: I’ve been dog sitting/boarding for years! I work with both dogs, and cats at my current full time job. I am also getting educated to become a vet tech in the near future! I currently do work a full time job, typically 6am-2pm Mon-Fri (sometimes Saturday). I do live with my parents, who can help with potty breaks while I am at work! Otherwise when I am home, whether mine or yours, your pets needs and safety will be my concern 100%! I live on the first floor of my house, with a very good amount of open space, and even have a huge back yard for even more space for play time!
About: Military veteran looking to make the best time for your best friends while you’re gone away! Big animal lover and trustworthy person to take care of your furry friend! I have a part time job making it easy to split up the day and still be with your fur friends to give them attention, walks, and of course potty breaks! Give them the attention they need and the walks they love! Respect the place and the animals and give them the best time I can while they’re favorites are gone on vacation!
“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.”
About: I've been petting sitting/walking for at least the last 5 years. I have a lot of experience walking big dogs and giving medicine. I have also assisted in training here and there with some dogs. Im currently working on call, so I have lots of free time that I would love to spend walking dogs or pet sitting just for the day or even multiple days. Brutus is a shy fiv cat he typically doesn't like to be around other animals at first. When I visit a home I love to spend time playing with the pets and giving them a treat or two to build trust.
About: I’ve had a dogs growing up but I have had my Bailey for 2 years. Before I had Bailey, I had roommates that had dogs and I was always helping out with their care. I work in an office so we start off the morning with a long walk before being cuddled to adjust back to being inside. I generally come home during lunch for a potty break and walk. I get home around 4:30 in the afternoon. There is another long walk before settling in for an evening at home. I have a 2 year old dog to keep your pup company. I have a crate if your dog needs some alone time or just prefers to be crated. If you are new to rover - please let me know as I have a referral code that will give you $20 off your first service.
“Oh my goodness!!! I don’t have enough nice words to express my gratitude for Heather!! First of all she saved our vacay when my regular sitter bailed at the last minute, then she provided multiple daily updates on how things were going. I have senior (doggie )ladies but I am very particular about their care. She made sure she got it all right. Just fantastic!! When we arrived back home, I think the girls were looking for her-they were not overly excited, so to me that proved they were super comfy with her. She has a very calm and beatifiul spirit and the animals pick up on that. I was very nervous about using a service but we picked the right sitter! We have a number of rescue pups and because I am very particular about their care, we don’t get a chance to vacation much-and when we do we worry about their care when I’m gone, not this time!! My Pups love her, she tidied the house ( we had a packing frenzy before we left) and even fed the visiting deer, she went above and beyond.I WILL BE SURE TO CALL UPON HER AGAIN❤️ SHE IS SUPERB in fact she may become our go to sitter if she’ll accept, 😆 this experience was better than I could have anticipated. Thank you Heather and Rover!!!”
“We booked with Rachel for a 4 night trip to stay in our home and dog sit. Prior to booking, we had a meet and greet. From the beginning it was clear to us that she was passionate about animals. We were taken away at her previous experiences with rescues and fostering and could tell immediately that she would take great care of our baby. Rachel was very professional and respectful of our home. She was very considerate and informative, keeping us up to date throughout the day with her interactions with our baby. She was flexible and accommodating to any of our requests. We would absolutely trust her again to take care of our home and fur baby.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about sixteen. I would go to the clients house walk their dog, and feed and care for it upon the clients request. I’m currently working a full- time job , but I enjoy caring for animals so much I thought why not pick it up as a side gig. I care for my mom’s dog every now and then when they go away for a long time. I tend to check on the dog prior to going to work then right after work and again around 9 or 10. On weekends I try to check on the dog a little bit more so she doesn’t have any accidents. I tend to care for pets in a clients home by dropping by before it is time to care for their fur- baby and understanding where everything is and exactly what they would like me to do.
“We are so grateful for Chrysantheum for taking care of our pups during our long journey away. She was so sweet with them and kept us in the loop throughout the stay. Will be looking for her again the next time we’re out of town!”

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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
<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 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.
