“Kristi did an amazing job watching my three dogs! She was able to win over our nervous Nobu and they became best friends. She communicated throughout the day to provide pup-dates and shared pictures with progress. Will book for future!”
“Sue, was an absolute dream to work with! Our trip was made so much better y knowing she was taking such amazing care of our furry family back home. Coming home to an immaculate house was also a treat. Thank you Sue!”
“Paloma was an outstanding dog sitter. She was extremely dependable and responsible, treated our home with respect, and truly fell in love with our two large dogs. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. When we returned, our home was left neat and tidy. We would absolutely use Paloma’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Linda was very attentive to Maisie and Oakley! Linda followed their early AM schedule and frequent outs. Lots of love and walks. Great communicator, with daily photos of events and text updates. Initially, Linda was very concerned about some quirks each dog had, but after talking to me, she realized those quirks were no cause for concern. Time away from home flew by and we came back to a peaceful and tidy home! Thank you, Linda!”
“Yet a again, MacKenzie met all our needs and was terrific when it came to our 80lbs bulldog/ 12lbs. Chihuahua. Mckenzie was responsive and gave updates throughout our vacation. In fact, Mckenzie went above and beyond by shoveling paths for the dogs to use the bathroom after a snow storm. Highly recommend A++”
“Vanessa is amazing with my older yorkipoo and young cat. She is very communicative, sending photos and updates daily. I trust my home to be in better shape when I return, thanks to Vanessa’s care!”
“Theresa will go above and beyond to make sure your home and animals are safe. Our pups love and trust her. We’re so grateful to have met her. We will 100% book again.”
“Vanessa did an amazing job with Lilo and Stitch. I could tell by the photos she sent they were very comfortable and happy to be around her. I will definitely book with her again!!!”
“Julia stayed at our house with our two Golden Retrievers. She sent some pictures and the dogs appeared very relaxed and happy! She kept us updated. When we returned the house was clean and the dogs were happy. This was our first time leaving them and I was afraid they would get distressed and not be the happy dogs they were before we left, but Julia took good care of them and gave them lots of attention and the dogs are like we never left them!”
“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 ❤️💕”
“Ashlee was amazing with our dogs. They feel in love with her at the meet & greet. Ashlee made sure to get to know each of them and all their needs, took notes on how to care for them, and asked so many questions to make sure our girls got the best care. While we were gone she sent pictures and updates everyday and spoiled our girls!”
“Julia stayed with my fluffy little dog for a week. My Maltese mix took to her immediately on her first visit and was glad to see her when she returned to pet sit. Julia communicated proactively leading up to her stay and sent me a daily picture and update while she was pet sitting. She left my home tidy. I would happily entrust my pet (and my home) to her any time!”
“My two French bulldogs love Emily so much & I know they are being loved and well taken care of by her. My house is always in perfect shape, too, when she stays over. Highly recommend! Five stars!”

Ava did an excellent job house sitting and taking care of our 2 cats and dogs while we were on vacation for a week. She is communicative (with lots of pictures), responsible and attune with animals and their needs. I’d highly recommend her for your next booking on Rover!
This will be our last time with Megan -as she is moving away. She has been the best dog sitter for now 15 year old chihuahua over the last few years. As boy’s medical needs became more complicated, Megan took him on and did a fabulous job. We were so lucky to have her take care of King.
Kristi is absolutely fantastic! My dog has separation anxiety, but he warmed up to her almost immediately. She went above and beyond to send daily photo/video updates and made sure my dog felt safe and entertained. It is such a relief to find a reliable and trustworthy sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
We had an amazing experience with Margaret as our dog and cat sitter! She took such great care of our pets and made sure all of their needs were met while we were away. She was extremely communicative, kept us updated, and gave us so much peace of mind. On top of that, she left our house spotless and treated everything with so much care and respect. We could truly tell she loves animals and goes above and beyond for them. We would absolutely trust Margaret again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Kelsey was AMAZING. Would 10/10 recommend and rebook. She was amazing with my mini dachshund who is a very needy boy. He usually doesn’t do well with strangers but Ace was immediately comfortable with her. She kept my place very tidy, watered my plants, and kept me updated with daily pictures and super sweet messages. She truly goes above and beyond to provide care and eased my concerns of leaving my dog alone for the first time. Looking forward to rebooking with Kelsey!
Mackenzie took great care of our dog Daisy while we were out of town. She kept us informed through messages and photos so we knew what was happening at home and it helped us relax and enjoy our time away. 😊 Daisy approved of her immediately upon meeting Mackenzie (the flop for belly scratches was the cue) and it was a great experience all around. The house was well taken care of as well - everything was clean and organized upon our return which was very kind! We will definitely book with Mackenzie again!!
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.
Marie was absolutely amazing! First time taking a pet sitter and she put me completely at ease. Sent me pics and kept me updated! Loved on my pups just as I would! I can’t say enough great things about her. I very highly recommend her!! I will definitely be using her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ralston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ralston on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 640 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ralston. 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 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 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.
