“We found a gem in Tara! She stayed at our home and took excellent care of our furry family members. Tara was very respectful of our house and provided wonderful care for our fur babies. We look forward to having her back for future sittings.”
“Katie was amazing taking care of my senior dog for a week! My dog doesn't get around good due to her back legs and Katie was so good to support her getting up steps etc. Always made sure she had her daily medicine. Also got daily pictures which always gave me peace of mind being so far away. Would definetly use her again and recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have lived with and been surrounded by dogs and basically all animals for my entire life. I used Rover before and I stopped temporarily due to some career changes. Thank you so much for your consideration! Growing up I had 2 Labrador Retrievers, and now I frequently help care for my aunt's 4 dogs. (Rottweiler, Doberman Pinscher, Maltese mix, and Yorkie) I currently have 3 cats which are both rescues. I'm not limited to caring for only dogs and cats. I've had many different reptiles, rodents, fish, and birds throughout my life, and would feel comfortable caring for any species!
“Pam was absolutely amazing!! She provided us with frequent updates about our pets and how they were doing. She also sent us pictures. She went above and beyond and we came home from vacation to a very clean house, thanks to her! It was nice to have trust in Pam to care for our pets so we could absolutely relax on vacation. 10/10!!”
“Bri is very responsible and accommodating. She was able to watch our two cats fairly last minute while we went on vacation. She kept us updated every day along with pictures. We would definitely reach out to her again for house/pet sitting!”
“Ben was absolutely wonderful! He communicated well sent great photos and we felt very good about having him care for our dogs. He asked great questions when he was unsure and to me that is the mark of a great person and a caring pet sitter! We will ask Ben back for sure!”
“Tim was very punctual and reliable. He stayed at our home and took care of our 3 multiple, special needs dogs and our 2 cats while we were away for 5 days. He took care of their needs and made us feel that our pets were being well cared for while we were away. We don't often leave the pets for extended periods of time, so it was great to have someone that we felt we could trust to take care of them.”
“Makinzie was amazing with Clark. She was so respectful, responsive and kind- definitely a pup lover and he loved her back! Will definitely use her services again! Thank you Makinzie”
“Gabrielle was amazing with all 4 of our fur babies while we were away in vacation. She sent daily updates and pictures so communication was great. Not too much and not too little. She was even able to get some love from our highly antisocial kitty. I will definitely be reaching out again when we need her again!! Thank you Again Gabby!”
About: I currently work from home for a family business, but I am looking to expand my own business and passion - taking care of animals! I worked for doggy daycares and boarding facilities for 3.5 years, ensuring the safety, happiness, and health of a wide variety of dog breeds and ages. I have administered medications, completed dog handling courses, and grooming training as well. This led me to groom professionally full-time for 2 years after college. I now prefer to do at-home bathing sessions and spend more time with pets one-on-one in a homey environment. In addition to dogs, I have taken care of fish, cats, amphibians, lizards, and birds. I have a 9 year old bunny of my own, so I am well-versed in rabbit care. Throughout high school, I volunteered at PetSmart taking care of the cats and at Diane's Pet Supplies, too, walking their dogs. These are all in addition to being my primary neighborhood dog-sitter/walker. Pet sitting fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to adjust my day around your pet’s needs—whether that means regular walks, consistent feeding times, play breaks, or simply being present for companionship. I’m able to provide frequent check-ins. For stays in my own house, because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and interaction. My flexible schedule also allows me to closely follow your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care to keep them comfortable and well cared for. I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable care for every pet I look after. I’m happy to take your dog on walks, follow feeding instructions closely, and administer any medications as needed. When caring for your pet in your home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while you’re away. I also pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being, ensuring your pet stays happy, healthy, and at ease. If your dog is staying in my home, they’ll be treated just like my own. They’ll enjoy plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment throughout the day—including couch privileges, treats (as approved), and lots of cuddles. Because I work from home, your pet will have near-constant supervision and companionship, allowing me to closely monitor their safety, comfort, and health for a smooth and enjoyable stay!
“Tim is outstanding! He's punctual, attentive, and clearly very qualified in the care of animals. He gave us peace of mind throughout our time away from our home and we always felt good knowing Shrek was being well cared for. We will definitely use Tim in the future and recommend him (and his girlfriend!) to anyone. You will rest easy knowing your animal is safe and having a lot of fun! Thanks so much Tim! M&M, and Shrek 🐾”
“Kat is the best! She always takes such great care of our pets and goes above and beyond to make sure they are well cared for and happy. One of our dogs hurt his leg a few days prior to our trip and we had no hesitation leaving him with Kat - we knew he was in great hands! She took extra special care of him and made sure his leg was able to continue healing. She is wonderful!”
“Excellent expirience all around. This was our first time using Rover after our original sitter fell through. Chris was fantastic at communicating and sent so many updates and photos we felt like our dogs were with us on our trip. Chris not only let our dogs out and fed them but really cared for them and made sure they were happy and comfortable while we were gone. We will absolutely use Chris again!”
“Fantastic job! Fur babies loved her. She gave my cat who has asthma his pills and inhaler twice a day. Arrived early and great with communication/photos. I have 1 dog and two cats and she stayed over for two days, I have zero complaints and will book again!”
About: As a kid growing up, I had my own “business” around the neighborhood where I would care for pets in their homes. Later I worked as a veterinary tech, and feel comfortable administering needed medications or providing bathing/nail clipping services. Other than kids, animals have always been a passion of mine. I currently am a stay at home mom to 3 year old twins. I will always make your beloved pets a priority and schedule into my day as needed. I prefer to keep pets in their home, this can be a safe space for them since they feel more comfortable there versus a new home with completely new people. I can stay there with the pets, and treat them as my own. Each has their own quirks and personalities, but catering to those needs is essential. I’ve watched a variety of animals from pigs to ferrets, bearded dragons and fish, and more! Ideally searching for a consistent dog that needs walking that is good with children. One of my twins is in early intervention school and the other is with me almost all of the time. Husband will be home in evenings for overnight needs. Stay at home mom to 3 year old twins, so quick drop ins during the day and boarding in the evening would be no problem. Would love to find a consistent dog to walk during the day while one of my kids is in early intervention preschool! I’ve worked in boarding and understand the importance of giving animals what they need. They all have quirks that we love about our own pets and require lots of love especially when their humans are away.
“I can’t say enough great things about Emilee and Denzel. They have sat for my pit Mac twice in my home and this past trip I was away for 10 days. They are so very kind and caring and I couldn’t have felt more confident that they were providing great care for my buddy. The communication/updates and pics is always excellent! I would recommend them if you’re looking for the perfect sitter!”
“Ariana was extremely professional and super nice when communicating with us. She sent frequent updates on the dogs and took good care of them. Will definitely be booking Ariana again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Parker Ford is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parker Ford
The whole process booking with Katie was easy! We needed her help with our two kittens who need a bunch of attention throughout the week and when we arrived home everything was in order and under control. She did a great job watching over the kittens during our vacation and made our arrival peaceful by having them already taken care of. She is so sweet and caring. We received updates at least twice a day about the day which we LOVED ! We appreciate you for all your help! Thank you.
We had a great experience with Timothy. He was very responsive, reliable, and took great care of our pets. Communication was easy throughout, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely recommend him and would be happy to have him sit for us again.
Tristan did a wonderful job taking care of our pets and home. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and it was clear they received lots of attention while we were away. He also followed our care instructions, including looking after our chickens, and everything was in great shape when we returned. We really appreciated the updates and peace of mind. We'd be happy to book with Tristan again and highly recommend him!
Betty was amazing with our pack. She sent daily updates and pictures, took care of the house, and cleaned so we wouldn’t have to do anything when we got home. I appreciate knowing that our babies were with someone so caring and attentive and I hope that she will be our sitter for any future trip we need to go on.
Alexis was amazing! She was kind and courteous and kept us updated on her day with Marlow! I loved the picture updates and the inquiries into some of our pups little quirks. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family, and it could not have gone better. She not only treated Marlow well, but also our home. We will 10000% book again. ❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Parker Ford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Parker Ford on Rover is $69.93 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 5,113 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Parker Ford. 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 Parker Ford 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 Parker Ford 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 Parker Ford 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.
