“Callie was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ace! ❤️ We couldn’t have asked for a more caring, thoughtful, and trustworthy person to look after him. It was clear that Callie genuinely cared about Ace’s happiness, comfort, and well-being, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She treated him with so much love and attention, and we are incredibly grateful for the care she provided. Finding someone you can truly trust with your beloved pet means everything, and Callie exceeded our expectations. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. Thank you, Callie, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet Ace! 🐾💕”

She is kind, caring, thoughtful, responsive and truly loved our dogs like her own while we were gone. She handled our special needs dog and our other dog who is sometimes fussy with a tricky tummy with absolute ease! She sent photos and updates daily which was very appreciated bc we are definitely worriers when we are away! Carol was just tremendous! We will 100% be having her back to care for our fur babies and look after our home! She is the BEST!”

“Maya was incredible. From the moment she arrived, I felt totally at ease leaving my two boys—Karma, my sweet senior, and Echo, my high-energy husky pup—in her care. She has a great energy: warm, fun, and immediately attentive. She got right down on the floor to play with the dogs, asked about my plants (yes, really!), and clearly cared about getting everything right from the start. Both dogs have their quirks—very different energy levels, both on meds, and Echo is still in training—but Maya handled it all beautifully. She even asked what I was working on with Echo so she could keep reinforcing it. She sent thoughtful updates and some truly great photos—I told her she has a future in pet photography. I came home to an immaculate house (truly cleaner than when I left) and two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I’ve been looking for someone I can use regularly, and I’m so relieved to have found Maya. She’s responsible, communicative, clearly loves animals, and goes above and beyond. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite. Nothing in the world makes me happier than spending time with a pet. If the owner can't be around once in a while there is no need for the dog to be lonely. That is why I make the perfect dog sitter, I treat each dog like my very own pet. I care for them and their individual needs the way I would hope someone would care for my dog if I weren't around. My profession includes making my own schedule which allows me the flexibility to care for pets in their owners absence. I try to keep my radius small so that I can stop by every couple of hours for a potty break and some time outside or for some snuggles. I have a dog and cat of my own and take their care very seriously. Both get an abundance of love and snuggles. Our dog goes out multiple times a day- while we don't have a fenced in yard we do have a lot of space and availability for walks at the park a block away.

Highly highly recommend.”

Angela was wonderful! She took such great care of Darby while we were vacationing, making sure she was well-fed, comfortable, and loved. She even tended to a few skin bumps Darby had and handled an unexpected toilet overflow like a pro! Throughout our trip, Angela gave us complete peace of mind knowing that Darby and our home were in good hands. She went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!

Elizabeth was great! I have two German Shepherds, and one of them is more high-maintenance and requires medication and a consistent routine. In the past, I’ve had a hard time finding sitters who truly understand the importance of sticking to their schedule and making sure everything is done correctly. Elizabeth was responsible, communicative, and very attentive to their needs. I felt confident knowing they were in good hands, and she kept me updated throughout their stay. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth and would happily have her care for my dogs again!

Fantastic! It was our first time using Raquel and I wouldn’t hesitate to hiring her again. She stayed the week and gave Lucy her undivided attention. I received just the right amount of feedback each day and it was apparent with each message and picture that Lucy was very comfortable with her. It was so nice to go on vacay and know that your furry friend feels safe and happy without you. Thanks Raquel!

Krystal stayed at my home with my 2 dogs for eight nights while we were away. One dog has anxious tendencies and the other is epileptic and requires twice daily medication. Krystal was able to not only accommodate their needs, but recognized their little quirks and adjusted to make them each more comfortable. She kept our place tidy, was in frequent communication, and responded promptly.

We set up house sitting for our incredibly sweet, but anxious, mini goldendoodle (Myles) back in March for our July vacation. We wanted to establish a relationship very early on, so when it was time for vacation, Myles would be comfortable and less anxious. Unfortunately, our sitter canceled a week before vacation, basically negating our ability to get Myles comfortable before we left. Backs against the wall, we had to take a huge leap of faith and look into other arrangements, now with virtually no lead-up time to getting Myles acclimated. Benjamin came by way of referral and was only available to take Myles in during our vacation, which was a departure from our plan to have someone come to our home to watch Myles, but given the circumstances, we decided to schedule the meet and greet to see how things would go. During the meet and greet at Ben's home, it was apparent he was special; personable, easy-going, patient, welcoming. It was also clear Myles would have plenty of room to roam and play. Myles was unsurprisingly anxious, but Ben was confident Myles would eventually fit right in with his family and his dogs, one of which is also a goldendoodle! After leaving the meet and greet, we felt optimistic. As expected, at drop-off, Myles was a bit anxious. Ben sent us lots of videos, pics, and updates to show us how things were going. Within an hour or so after dropping off Myles, he started to warm up, and over the next few days, it was clear Myles was fitting right in with, not just Ben, but his dogs, too! Getting daily updates with new pics and videos was such a treat and something we looked forward to while we were away, and Ben never disapointed! When we picked Myles up after vacation, he looked happy and healthy. We have no complaints. We will be sure to use Ben going forward. We felt our fur baby was having his own vacation with Ben while we were away! We couldn't have asked for anything more; simply put, Ben is the best!

Amelia was absolutely incredible with my dog, Henry, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From the moment I left, I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She followed all of his routines so thoughtfully, paid close attention to his eating habits, made sure he was comfortable, and genuinely treated him like he was her own. Henry can be a little particular at times, and Amelia was so patient and attentive to his needs. It was clear that she truly cares about animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. She also kept me updated throughout my trip, which meant so much while I was traveling. Every message and photo reassured me that Henry was thriving and getting plenty of love and attention. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog says everything. Amelia is reliable, communicative, compassionate, and an all-around wonderful pet sitter. I would trust her with Henry again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.

Michael was awesome. I was able to book him in a pinch after another sitter had to cancel. He is calm, experienced, and Porter was well cared for while we were gone. He communicated with me daily 2-3x day, asked questions if they came up and dealt with a power outage that lasted about 20 hours. It rained a large part of the time we were gone and he diligently walked Porter in the rain. When we got home everything was in order. Dog towels were washed and the house was as we left it. We have used him in the past and will continue to use his services in the future for our dog. We were out of the country and knowing we had a responsible and capable dog sitter was essential.

FAQs for House Sitting - Primos

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Primos is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $37 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.

As of November 2026, there are 5,526 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Primos. 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 Primos 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 Primos 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 Primos 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Primos. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
