“Madison is the BEST! She had great communication and was great with our dogs , they seemed sleepy and content when we got home :). She also took care of our home and garden with love”
“Noah is the best!! We had a friend cancel on us and he came through last minute to house and pet sit. It was our first time booking on Rover and we were a tad nervous to leave our pets and house with someone we didn't know, but were so at ease once we met him. Our pets loved him and he left our house in perfect shape. 10/10 recommend booking him!”
“We had an excellent experience with our house sitter. They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of both our home and pets while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind throughout the stay. Our pets were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we returned, and our home was left clean and in great condition. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”
“Dawn does a wonderful job of caring for our 3 boys. We love having her as their sitter. She provides excellent communication, which gives us peace of mind while we are away.”
“Loarann was amazing!! This was my first time using in-home boarding so I was nervous but she was so sweet and so communicative. I never once had to worry or wonder what was going on which is huge for when you go on a trip that’s stressful enough! I honestly think she left the place better than she found it and was so kind about my house being kind of a sight these days because of renovations. She seems to truly love animals and I will 100% use her again in the future, no question.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who need training reinforcement to senior pets who require patience and gentle handling. As a veteran, I bring reliability, attention to detail, and calm leadership that animals naturally respond to. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, supporting senior dogs with mobility challenges, and keeping up with energetic pups who need exercise and structure. What sets me apart is consistency—you can count on me to be on time, communicate clearly, and treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my days so I’m available for morning walks, midday drop-ins, and evening care. I'm home constantly, which allows me to focus on the needs of each pet. Whether it’s regular daily walks, weekend sitting, or last-minute bookings, I ensure pets receive consistent attention and care when their families are unable to be there. Safety and trust come first in every home I step into. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to walk routes, and I keep a close eye on doors, gates, and leashes to ensure pets stay safe. I provide plenty of positive attention, consistent communication with updates and photos, and a calm presence that helps pets feel secure. My goal is to give every family peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and treated like my own.
“Summer did an amazing job! She kept me updated daily, letting me know when she was at the house and what she and Roxie did, even including pictures. I will definitely be using Summer anytime I have to travel.”
“Isabel has been a God-send!!!! I’ve had her sit my dogs a few times now, and she is always prompt, she follows my directions to the letter and most importantly, my dogs loved her from the first time she walked through my door! They are always happy to see her. She has taken a huge worry off of me since one of my dogs had surgery and I had to be away for work.”
“500 stars!! Lisa was great while we were Away for an extended period. Dogs and kitty well taken care of, house well taken care of and she went above and beyond and was very thoughtful. We appreciated it so much!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since a very young age. Family and friends have have relied on me to care for their pets when they've traveled. My schedule is flexible and open currently to help care for and meet your pet's needs. I'll be able to spend plenty of time with them and make sure they have all the attention love they need while in my care! Pet sitting at your home will keep your pets are comfortable and in a safe environment while you are away. Feel free to share any important details about your pet's schedules and routines with me and I will be sure to keep them happy!
About: I can't really remember a time when I didn't have a pet! I have always been crazy about animals and have mostly owned dogs but have had cats too! I have taken care of mostly small and medium dogs but love all animals. I'm a retired nurse with a bit more time on my hands and would like to spend a bit of my new, free time with animals! We currently have a rescue dog, Rusty, that we have had for about 4 years now. He is a sweetie and loved so much! I look forward to meeting your pets and giving you peace of mind while you are away! I'm currently retired and available very often. I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and to relax with them! I can offer a private area for them to eat or decompress if needed. I have a fenced in back yard here and doggie doors to the outside. I have one 6 year neutered (big baby) small but chunky dog here as a playmate.
“Rabia was amazing with our baby, Porky! She sent frequent updates and pictures, and she started loving on our guy as soon as she walked in the door. It was raining, and she still took Porky out on a walk. We will absolutely be re-booking Rabia anytime we leave town. You can tell she just loves dogs, and I knew my baby was in great hands with her. Thank you so much, Rabia!”
“Chelsea is absolutely phenomenal! She jumped in last minute when I needed a sitter while on vacation. She immediately bonded with my dog and he fell in love with her. He can be anxious and overly excitable, but he felt comfortable with her right away. She made it possible for me to have an enjoyable outing with my family and not be worried about Odin the whole time. I can't say enough good things about her, I highly recommend her!”
About: I have 5 dogs of all sizes. I have experience working at a rescue for lots of different animals. I have been told I am a animal whisperer because I have gotten shy pets to come to me. Animals are my favorite beings. I do not work with anybody but pets. I make my own schedule and can love and play with your pet all day. I know how to bathe and clean up after them as well. I do not do bording. I will come to your house, or sleep over if permitted. We will figure ot out together and make an agreement.
“My sweet Lexi loved al the attention she received. My house was in perfect order when I returned home. And most importantly I got lots of updates while I was away. Kristi did a great job and I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends”
About: Hi! My name is Aiden, and I’ve been caring for dogs for about 7 years now. I started pet sitting and dog walking when I was around 12 years old, and over the years I’ve gained experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I regularly care for my cousin’s dog, Scout, whenever they go out of town, and I also frequently watch Raya, one of my family friends’ dogs, during vacations and trips. Because of this, I’m very familiar with overnight care, keeping dogs comfortable in a home environment, maintaining routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve also spent summers walking dogs for families in my area, which helped me become comfortable handling different personalities, sticking to feeding and walking schedules, and making sure every dog gets the attention and exercise they need. I’ve had a dog of my own as well, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I truly love animals and treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daytime care, and overnight stays in your home. I do work a part-time job, but my shifts are typically only around 6 hours during the day. Outside of that, I’m fully available to spend time with your pets and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I also make communication a priority and will happily send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! I always make it a priority to keep pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free while caring for them in their home. I understand how important routines are for animals, so I do my best to follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and bedtime to help them feel secure while you’re away. I’m very respectful of both your home and your pet’s space, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure to keep your pet safe at all times. I also pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs so they receive the right level of care, attention, and exercise. My goal is to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment where both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away.

Alyssa did a wonderful job. She sent pictures of my babies and I could tell they were being very well cared for. She was very good with communication throughout her stay which I really appreciate. She is an excellent sitter and I would definitely have her back again.
Michael was absolutely phenomenal ! I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone for dog sitting. I received photos of all the dogs going on walks and playing with a frisbee in the backyard all the days we were gone. Thea, our rescue, was abused before she was adopted and she warmed up to him very quickly and was included in all activities the two other dogs were doing.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pace
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pace on Rover is $38.85 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 538 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pace. 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 Pace 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 Pace 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 Pace 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 Pace. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
