“I can’t say enough about what an amazing job Kristi did. I would highly highly recommend her services. She communicated on a regular basis. I’ve used sitters before where they were just “there”. Kristi actually spent time interacting with my three dogs. She took the time to get to know each of their personalities. She asked questions about what they liked and didn’t like and even took time to brush them. Five stars!!’”
“Sierra did a great job watching our dogs and staying at our house for five nights! She took good care of our pups and our home while we were away. We really appreciated her help and would happily have her watch them again!”
“Brayden did such a great job with my two dogs! They can be very high energy at times but they were so calm and good with him. He sent me pictures and updates throughout the entire overnight visit. I will definitely be booking with him again!”
About: I have taken care of several dogs for a couple of clients over the years as a side gig but now looking to expand my pet caring opportunities more. I am patient and reliable and I tailor my care to the needs of each pet. I am very flexible with my schedule as I am newly retired. Whatever your pets needs are, I will be willing and able to accommodate. I am able to stay in your home so your pet will be able to feel safe and comfortable in their familiar surroundings and you will have peace of mind that they are being well cared for and loved.
About: I have had both dogs and cats in my household. I don’t currently have a pet, and would love to provide care for your pet! I am a retired teacher with a flexible schedule. I am available weekdays and weekends. Pet care works very well in my current situation and lifestyle. Caring for another person’s pet must align with their preferences, routines, and individual needs. I have cared for each of my pets according to their personality and needs, and my vision for discipline and routine.
“Our dog was very well cared for by Eva. She provided updates and photos several times a day, kept us informed of how well Daisy did with her normal daily routine and played with her both inside and outside. Daisy can be stubborn on walks when my husband isn’t present, but Eva followed Daisy’s routine, encouraging her to walk even though she didn’t go as far as she normally would. She kept a close eye on Daisy’s behavior and called us immediately when concerned about a chronic health issue. We talked it through over the phone and we appreciated Eva’s ability to notice the change in Daisy’s behavior and take necessary action. Her loving care helped us relax and enjoy our trip knowing our girl was well cared for at home. We came back to a calm and rested dog and we truly appreciate it!”
“Rachel was very nice to take my booking at the last minute. She did a great job watching Claire and responding to me. My dog is not the easiest to look after. She let me know when my dog got temporarily sick from breaking into her treat bag. She cleaned up everything before I got home.”
“Karen was amazing! I knew my pups and home were in good hands after we met but I didn’t know HOW good she was. She sent photos and the dogs loved her so much they looked for her after we came home.”
About: I’ve been house and dog sitting since I was 12 years old, so caring for animals is second nature to me. Growing up, I’ve had my own dog (and she is a diva) and three birds, so I’m super comfortable managing different animal personalities, daily routines, and dietary needs. I have also had 2 cats that I have shared with roommates! The biggest thing that sets me apart is my schedule. Because I study from home, I have a very minimal, flexible weekly routine. That means I would not just dropping by for a quick check-in, I can actually hang out at your house for long stretches or stay the entire day without having to leave. If your pet gets lonely, has separation anxiety, or just loves having a human around 24/7 to cuddle and keep them company, I’m your person! I am able to stay at your house however much you need me there from Thursday nights-Monday nights Sundays: completely available for 24/7 care Mondays: completely available for 24/7 care Tuesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Wednesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Thursdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 7pm Fridays: completely available for 24/7 care Saturdays: completely available for 24/7 care I will request you give me guidelines of what times you animal eats, much much the animal eats, and how often they tend to go outside/to the litter box. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as regular as possible so your pet is happy, healthy, and ready for you to come home ☺️
“Dara was awesome doing our home visit for our 3 dogs! She was on time and great with communicating as well. We were very happy with her service and felt confident that our pups were in such good care with her!”
“Alison did an excellent job with dogsitting Lola. She's very responsive. Our house looked great when we got home, and Lola was in good spirits. I hope Alison found our place liveable and felt comfortable in our home because we wish to use her again in the future.”
“If you are on the fence about Charity, I hope this interview helps you decide. Charity watched our dog at our house for 5 days in a row. Before accepting, she did an in person consultation and was prepared with her own questions and requested anything necessary to provide the best service possible. She communicated prior to, and daily, with text, pictures and/or video. She can manage multiple clients at the same time and will not compromise on your agreements. These things may be a given but to be explicit - our dog was nurtured, nothing was damaged or stolen, she helped with the trash removal. Thank you for your time, skill, and excellence!”
“Abby was a complete blessing to watch our pups for the week so we could enjoy some beach time. The pups are well fed, happy and content when we got home and the house looked fabulous too! So glad we chose Abby and Rover! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️💕”
“Robert provided in-home sitting services for our 2 special needs rescue Wheatens. Our dogs require extreme patience, kindness and even some heavy lifting. One dog is not yet adjusted to her new life and is afraid of most everyone and everything. Robert was able to work with her and even get her to warm up to him so much more than we would have ever expected. The other dog is a ball of energy that needs to be watched closely. Robert handled both of these handfuls marvelously. This is the first time using Rover and doing in home sitting services and from day one of our trip it was clear Robert was up to the task making our worries, concerns and anxiety about leaving “the girls” unfounded and helped us be comfortable and relaxed about being gone.”
“Charlie watched our older dog while we were out of the country visiting family. I was incredibly anxious to leave him but Charlie put all my fears to rest. Her daily updates and photos helped us relax and enjoy our trip knowing our dog was in the best of hands. We returned to a happy and relaxed dog and will definitely be booking Charlie for our future trips.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ralston
Highly recommend Kodi! She was able to accommodate my two bostons, one of which was recovering from a back injury and required special care and medications. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout the weekend I was gone which was such a relief. I would definitely use Kodi again.
Mackenzie always takes great care of our dog Daisy while we are gone and we come home to a calm, relaxed and happy dog. She keeps us updated throughout our trip which gives us peace of mind. Everything is clean and tidy in the house when we return so all we have to do is unpack and relax. We highly recommend Mackenzie and we will definitely book her again when we travel!
Marie was very responsive, sent photos and agreed to stay another night when I couldn’t make it home as planned. I ultimately came home to two happy and healthy dogs and a clean house. It is always so hard to leave the dogs but Marie’s care made it easier and was much appreciated. Thank you again!!
Rylee watched our dog at our house for a long weekend. Everything went smoothly, and Rylee followed all of our directions. He apparently had a great time because sometimes he's needy on our return but he was calm and chill after his initial excitement. Highly recommend Rylee!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ralston is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $72 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 Ralston 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 Ralston 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 Ralston 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 Ralston. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
