“10/10 would recommend! High level of communication, honest and trust worthy. I will be hiring Jedan again for any of my overnights and drop ins schedule permitting :).”
“Sadie is amazing! She took my pet sitting request with short notice and was very easy to work with. She made sure to keep me up to date with detailed messages during her time sitting my kitten and even sent me pictures showing him being comfortable and playful around her. She also went above and beyond and did extra things around the house which I appreciated very much. She’s very respectful and professional. I will definitely request her again for my next pet sitting. Thanks Sadie!”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands on experience. I’m experienced in caring for dogs and cats of different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I currently have 2 cats of my own so I am very comfortable with cat care, including being able to recognize if a cat may be acting differently than usual. I’m also aware of individual cats boundaries and personalities and respect this. I have also cared for many dogs in my life of all sizes, from beagles to labs to rottweilers. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and am able to provide ample attention. What sets me apart from others is my genuine care for getting to know each individual pet to adapt to their specific needs, rather than treating all pets the same. I fully understand that some pets may be energetic and playful, while others may be shy or prefer a quiet environment. My main goal is to make your pet/pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away in order to give you peace of mind that your pet family is in good hands. I’m currently a law student and work part time and have a flexible schedule, believe it or not! I have intentionally chosen to pursue pet care because I found that I have availability outside of my commitments to work and school. I’m more than happy to communicate prior to bookings to coordinate walks and visits that fit within both of our schedules. I prioritize consistency and reliability for pet care, and will always ensure that I understand your pets needs and routines. I ensure every pets safety and care by following any instructions provided while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. During drop-in visits I will ensure your pets have anything and everything they need, including food and water, attention, and maintaining a clean environment. During dog walks I prioritize maintaining safe handling practices and give your pet my full attention at all times. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect that I would want for my own home.
“Maddie was fantastic- great communication, asked great questions, left our house spotless and skillfully cared for our three somewhat needy cats! Would highly recommend to everyone! Thank you again Maddie!”
About: People have always told me that I am comparable caring even to pets. They deserve every bit of kindness just like people! A safe and reliable environment at your home! I am able to walk and feed the animals before I go to work and after I come home. As well as having off on Monday& Tuesdays. I can walk and feed your pets in the morning, throughout the day when I’m off I can show them the attention and love they need. I will make sure they always have fresh food&water. As well as making them feel at home when They are away!
“Sydney did an amazing job taking care of our persnickety little pittie while we were out of town. She was especially mindful of the heat and our dog’s history of heat-related issues. We came home to a happy dog and an orderly house and we are so appreciative of the communication, care and photos we got from her along the way!”
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
“Yianna was extremely professional and wonderful to my dog. She was very loving to my pup, who requires multiple medications. She was great with check- ins and very responsive to questions. She was respectful of our home. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would use her in the future.”
“Zandra did an amazing job- our three cats were so well taken care of, we got lots of great updates and our house was spotless on return. We couldn’t ask for more- 10 stars! Thank you Zandra!!!!”
“The bestest!!!!! If you want someone to watch your cats and feel secure they’re being well taken care of, get Hanna!! She is so caring and makes the extra effort to make our babies feel comfortable and content. One of our kitties is very shy and Hanna did a great job of respecting her space but also making sure she’s fed/doing well. The other kitty that loves attention, Hanna made sure to give it to him! In addition, she made sure the water fountain was filled and the litter box clean! We are so appreciative of her and will definitely work with her again and recommend her care!!!”
About: I bring 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, from looking after the dogs, cats, and all sort of creatures of family and friends, to spending 5 years working in a busy dog daycare. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable with structured routines, group play, and individualized attention. I now work full‑time for the state, but pet care remains one of my favorite parts of life — and I’d love to help care for your fur babies. I’m currently working full‑time, but my availability will be opening up soon — I’ll have a fully flexible schedule any day of the week in the near future. I only provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets feel safest and most relaxed. I stick closely to your feeding, potty, and routine schedules, and I’m happy to accommodate any special instructions or quirks your pet may have. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal rhythm and create a calm, secure environment while you’re gone.

About: I have raised many dogs over my lifetime. My most recent dog to have passed was a pit bull and I love all breeds of dogs big and small. I am very experienced in providing consistent behavior support to dogs and am open to learning your styles and preferences so that your time away is beneficial for you and your fur child. I recently had a baby and just reactivated my profile here. I will need to bring the baby with me however she isn’t mobile yet and will likely not have much interaction with your pet. If this isn’t a good fit for you or your fur babies, I completely understand! Most days I will be free to spend time with your pet all day, take them on long walks, and keep them entertained, I just have a little one with me to do so. I am open to providing whatever service your dog is already comfortable with. I am happy to take multiple leashed walks every day to help your dog exercise.
“Ian has stayed overnight with our dog, Maybelline, for the last week. He previously stayed with her over a weekend. We have been very happy with Ian and we tend to be picky. When we were interviewing pet sitters, we watched our dog's reaction to each of them and Ian was clearly her choice. Ian sends us photos and takes care of deliveries and service people, too. He is professional, reliable, and communicative. We HIGHLY recommend Ian and will definitely welcome him to our home again and again.”

“Olivia took great care of our girls! Both of our dogs were really comfortable with her right when they first met her. She sent pictures and updates each day which i appreciated. I would book with her again next time we’re out of town!”

Yianna was extremely professional and wonderful to my dog. She was very loving to my pup, who requires multiple medications. She was great with check- ins and very responsive to questions. She was respectful of our home. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would use her in the future.
Keira did an awesome job keeping my cat Princess company and attending to her needs while I was away on my trip. She sent frequent updates with pics depicting Princess engaged in her favorite activities including drinking water from the faucet (she prefers over the bowl), so I know Keira went out of her way to make that connection with Princess. She has a gentle, loving nature with animals and I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.
Marlaina spent another weekend with Merry and took great care of her. With Merry's diabetes, we couldn't be more thankful for great petsitters like Marlaina who are knowledgeable and reliable to take considerate care of dogs with special needs. It's great to be able to leave Merry in such good hands and not have to stress about her diabetes while we're away.
Alyssa was great. She took care of our old boy Beef helping him onto and off the bed so he could sleep happily. And our Frannie who just needs a human to be there for overnights when we go away. Alyssa sent me pics and updates how things were going. Would definitely recommend Alyssa!
Mary did a great job with our two dogs and our cat! She provided frequent updates and also pictures of our animals while we were away! I’m glad we booked Mary to stay with them while we were away and not have them boarded. They were very happy when we got back home and we could tell that they had a great time. We would absolutely book Mary to stay with our pets again and will reach out for future vacations. Thank you so much for taking great care of them!
We are very pleased with Missy. She did an overnight stay for a week with our two golden’s. She was great with our dogs and our home was neat and clean when we returned. We are hoping she’s available for our vacation next summer. Will definitely use her services again! Thanks Missy!

FAQs for House Sitting - Paxtonia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Paxtonia on Rover is $61.05 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 790 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Paxtonia. 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 Paxtonia 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 Paxtonia 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 Paxtonia 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
