“Steve was fantastic! He was incredibly professional and communicative the entire time he watched our three (large) dogs for a week. Came home to happy dogs and a clean house. Will definitely book again!”
“Madeline was simply amazing! she loved, cuddled, played with and was wonderful with Ruby. she kept me updated and took lots of pictures too. i will book her again in a heartbeat - i’ve never felt better about leaving Ruby in someone’s care!”
“We came back to happy, calm dogs and a well organized house. Really appreciated the daily updates and pictures and Coors and Ryder look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for allowing us to go away without worrying.”
“Delaney is awesome! She took great care of my two older dogs and made sure they were comfortable in the extreme heat our area experienced. And coupled with that, the weather turned severe with power outage and dangerous conditions, Delaney still made sure she got to the house to make sure they were okay. I highly recommend Delaney.”
“She was great with Rolly and caring for our home when we were away. I'd highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to get away for a few days but may be afraid to leave their loved pets behind. Highly recommend Anastasia!!”
“Drake is great. When my dog sitter didn’t show up for a 4 day stay, he came to the rescue and was at my house in a short time. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone who loves dogs and is responsible”
“Hunter was really accommodating when we got sick while trying to schedule our meet & greet for a last minute trip. She did great with the dogs & allowed us a stress free weekend away!”
About: As a loving cat owner and lifelong animal lover, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for when you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and gentle with animals, and I want every pet to feel loved and secure. I understand that every animal has their own personality, preferences, and routine, and I will take the time to get to know your pet and follow your care instructions closely. Whether it’s providing companionship, making sure meals and fresh water are taken care of, or giving your pet extra affection, I will treat your furry family member with kindness and respect. Your pet’s comfort and well-being will always be a priority! I balance work and family life, so I value communication, planning, and reliability. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and arrange visits that fit both your needs and my availability. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets, and I’ll communicate with you about scheduling, care instructions, and updates during each booking. Please reach out with your needs, and we can see if we’re a good fit! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. I will take the time to understand your pet’s needs, follow your care instructions carefully, and respect your home and your pet’s routine. I believe in being patient, attentive, and gentle with every animal, while allowing them to feel comfortable at their own pace. I’ll keep you updated during visits with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way!
“Sabrina and Daniel were great! They took such good care of my pups, communicated well, and left me feeling confident that my dogs and my home were in good hands while I was away. They also took some of the cutest photos of them that I've seen. :) Who knew I'd have souvenir photos of my dogs in addition to my vacation photos? I would recommend them highly. They are experienced dog-people who love what they do.”
About: Dog rescue, training and behavioral evaluation, breeding and showing, in-home and at my home pet sitting, I am a member of the Great Dane Club of America in good standing, all my breedings are AKC registered and health tested. I specialize in giant breeds but work with all breeds, ages, and sizes. Previous memberships/training: APDT, Tuft's Behavioral Assessment Training, AKC, GDCA, private seminars and training classes for animal behavior and training, canine/feline CPR and First Aid, natural and holistic veterinary medicine, biologically appropriate diet nutrition. Even while recovering from spinal surgery, I still welcomed overnight visitors! I have experience with a variety of animals including chickens, horses, birds, rabbits, gerbils/hamsters, fish, etc. All bookings are first come, first serve. Holidays are high demand and it is suggested to book well in advance. You can get more info at crittersitter.co.site. Each client need is different: I have crates and gates in my home if needed, dog beds galore, a toy chest, 6 foot fenced yard, wooded trails/nature preserve across the street, 2 chicken coops and a netted chicken area. Purified water is always available. Homemade dog treats are made fresh (client permitting) and dog bed linens are sanitized for each sit. When sitting in my home I will rarely be gone longer than 2 hours, if at all. First aid and medical equipment is on site. In a client's home I will be there as required by the client and am very detail oriented. Every pet is cared for as if it is my own.
“Jesse is THE BEST. After requesting the booking, he came out to meet us and our two boys, taking his own personal time to make sure it was a good fit. During his stay, he kept us informed with pictures and notes on the pups. He left our house just as he found it and, most important, we came home to 2 happy, sleepy dogs, tired after a vacation of their own! Jesse is reliable and incredibly knowledgeable and hardworking. Can’t wait to have him back!”
About: I've taken care of many breeds large and small for my friends and family over the last 20 years. Patience and calming demeanor are key to establishing trust with our fur babies. I work from home with a flexible schedule so my job would not impede on caring for your pet and making sure they are getting enough attention. I currently have two golden doodles that are well mannered and socialized with other dogs. They are shared between my home and their Mom's so they aren't always with me. We're accustomed to multiple walks throughout the day and visit a dog park most days during the week.
About: Ever since I was a young child I've grown up around friends dogs always wanting a pet of my own to love and care for, 10 years ago my dream came true with a ball of kitty love named Oreo. I have taken care of dogs many times, when I would visit a house with a pet, I would always say hello to their pet and give them lots of pets. I've taken care of friend's dogs while they're on vacation and I would love to take care of yours! My experience with my own pets: I've grown up with cats, a total of 10 cats have been in this house with a max of 9 at a time! The first cat I had gotten was a ball of love named Oreo who grew up with many health issues but lived a long, happy 10 years of life. Next is Midnight, a loving black cat from the start of his life, lounging around the house to his hearts content. Holly was a scaredy cat from the start, though after years of treating her with gentle love now, she's comfortable around people and loves getting her long, luxurious coat brushed. Nermal, guess where her name came from, is a lazy cat who hates the vet and startles easily, but we make sure to keep an eye out for her to not scare her too bad. Loki came to us with his pregnant sister Mini, two kitties that were a handful! Loki was a being of chaos, attacking anyone who got close, unless you picked him up, now that he's calmed down I'm his favorite person in the world! Mini gave birth to a litter of 4 baby kittens, all of them grew up healthy and 3 of them were fostered off to loving families we trust dearly. Mini is living her best life lounging around on the floor, no idea why she loves the middle of walkways so much they've got to be super comfy. The baby we kept was the odd one out, a grey and white tuxedo we named Pipsqueak, the small squeaky girl who loves to play with anything that moves. I am a very free person without many major commitments at the moment and the ones I have are easily worked around with people at home who love and care for our house pets. I am very attentive to animal's needs, sometimes I worry a bit too much about them. Able to respond quickly to a bark to be let out or a cat hovering when it's time for food. Not only can I take care of pets I'm an expert at giving them all the love and attention they could ever ask for, so much that they'll get sick of me!
About: I’ve taken classes in animal science focusing from the smallest household pets to the biggest farm animals, you name it! But no matter the size, all pets deserve the love and care we people give each other so i'm here to support any ways to the best of my ability! <3 i work up to 3pm on most days so i can definitely stop by before dinner time! i’m also free on Friday and Saturday so feel free to take that weekend getaway :) i’m able to keep your pet consistently enriched and happy during services and have no issue with extra steps needed to ensure they are comfortable!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pequabuck
We couldn’t have been happier! Steve was punctual, professional, and had such a warm, calm demeanor. Stella seemed completely at ease with him from the moment he arrived. We loved receiving pictures and updates throughout the day, and he left our home absolutely spotless. It was reassuring to know Stella was in such good hands. We would happily welcome him back!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pequabuck is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $45 and $88 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 Pequabuck 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 Pequabuck 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 Pequabuck 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
