“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!!”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. She went above and beyond — taking him on golf cart rides, keeping him active and entertained, and treating him like her own. I had total peace of mind while I was away and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter.”
“Amanda was very responsive and great with having to administer a lot of medicines for my elder cat. She was great about sending a daily update and a photo to me. She stayed overnight with my cat during a holiday time, which is really above and beyond! She came over for an introduction and a briefing on all the medication beforehand which was super helpful. I highly recommend Amanda.”
“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!”
“Stephanie was amazing! She took such great care of Copper and Flynn and made the whole experience stress-free. Super attentive, kept everything clean, and I loved how quick she was with updates—I never had to wonder how things were going. When I got home, Copper and Flynn were happy and relaxed, which says it all! Honestly, couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend her!”
“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 worked at a boarding facility for 4½ years, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I supervised group play, giving me a strong understanding of dog body language and behavior, and I also cared for dogs by feeding them and maintaining clean, comfortable spaces. In addition, I’m a certified dog bather, so bathing services are available if needed. I’ve also been house sitting and caring for dogs for many years, and I truly enjoy getting to know every pet I meet. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members!🫶🏼 I currently have a flexible schedule with open availability for overnight house sitting for both dogs and cats, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away I make sure every pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Dogs enjoy plenty of exercise, outdoor time, play, and lots of love, while cats receive patient, attentive care in the comfort of their own home. Whether I’m walking your dog, staying overnight, or caring for your cat, my goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away
About: Raised and cared for many dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages. I am a calm individual with emergency training. I am comfortable with dogs that’s may have certain behavioral issues. we all need love and guidance!!!! I have owned a dog in all stages of my life and believe that their presence make this world a little easier. The owning n watching of pets has greatly improved my lifestyle helping me to stay active and in nature. Your dog will not be left unsupervised in any situation and crated if 100% necessary. Potty breaks, play, and mental stimulation will be often and fun. I am sure to follow any special instructions and learn your pets.
“We had a great experience with Allyson watching our two dogs for a week! She was very responsive throughout the stay and was proactive in bringing up that our one dog may be getting an ear infection. She was more than willing to help with a couple of house chores as well. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs! Thank you, Allyson!”
“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 needed a last minute dog sitter and Kendall was kind enough to agree to help. She was great and did such a good job taking care of my Ellie and provided photos and updates throughout her stay. She even left a sweet gift for me upon my return. Would definitely have her take care of Ellie again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Maggie was precious and so good with Lili. I booked on short notice, but Maggie was able to adjust her schedule to meet mine. She was punctual, and as a dog foster parent, her love and ease with dogs was apparent. I look forward to using her again.”

We were so relieved to find such a wonderful caring petsitter for our two energetic Collies. Bhavana was amazing with caretaking and communication. We were able to relax on our much needed vacation and had no worries knowing our fur babies were in such good hands! Thank you Bhavana!
Kelly was absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. She went above and beyond — taking him on golf cart rides, keeping him active and entertained, and treating him like her own. I had total peace of mind while I was away and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter.
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!!
Leah was amazing! She kept us updated and took good care of our pups. She is very respectful and keeps the line of communication open. Leah is already watching the girls for us again and we will absolutely ask her to watch the girls anytime we are out of town. We highly recommend Leah!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Overlook
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Overlook on Rover is $33.3 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 2,450 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Overlook. 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 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 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.

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.
