“Becky was wonderful! Very communicative, took great care of our pups, and left our house in wonderful shape. We’ve already booked her for another stay and will continue to use her as often as possible!”
“Carlee took good care of our old man Gus while we were gone. She provided updates when necessary and left the house in great condition. We will definitely use Carlee again!”
“Venetia was my first Rover sitter, and she has set a high bar. I received many photos and updates, and Coconut was well attended and taken care of—even when an unexpected thunder storm came through. Thrilled with my first Rover experience and I hope Venetia’s busy schedule allows for a repeat future stay.”
“Chris was amazing!! We were able to leave Remi home and know that he was being taken care of. He was accommodating at the last minute— Definitely a life saver! Will be recommending him to friends and using him for future sittings.”
“Clare was such an attentive, kind and caring pet sitter and took such AMAZING care of our pup while we were away. She sent us regular updates with pictures and even cooked our pup breakfast! We will definitely use Clare in the future!”
“Aaron was absolutely amazing caring for our 3 doggies for 9 days. We were super nervous to leave them, but Aaron made us feel stress free. He was super communicative with morning, afternoon, and nighttime check-ins with pictures and how they spent their days. He went above and beyond, even cleaning, washing the linens, and leaving a delicious blueberry breakfast treat. He was exceptional. Our dogs loved him and he will definitely be our go-to person from now on.”
“Kristin was wonderful with my 2 senior dogs for the first time i used a sitter. She sent me multiple pictures and a few videos which showed me how well they were doing and responding to her. She is very kind and caring. I will DEFINITELY request her again!”
“This was our first time having Paula stay with our dog and cat and she was great! Our pets (& home) were well-cared for and we had peace of mind being away. She walked our timid rescue dog frequently and sent lots of updates. We would definitely use her again!”
“I can’t recommend Katelyn enough. She took such great care of my dog and followed all of his rules and needs. Normally he gets very anxious when I leave and won’t eat much or go potty (poop). but with Katelyn that wasn’t a problem at all. He felt comfortable right away and it was clear when I got home that he had completely fallen in love with her. He ate a lot yay ! Her flexible schedule made it easy for her to let him out every 4 to 6 hours, which was a huge help. She also communicated clearly and often, sending lots of photos and updates that gave me peace of mind. On top of that, she gave him all the cuddles and attention he loves, and he was happy and relaxed when I returned. Katelyn is amazing, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“Timia was great to our pups while we were away! She was a joy to get to meet beforehand. She took her time letting the dogs get to know her. Dogs seemed to have a great time with her here, and we came home to two well cared for pups. Thanks Timia for easing our minds while we were away, and loving on them extra well. If schedules align, we will definitely have Timia back!”
“Stephanie took the time to meet our 3 dogs twice before our vacation because one of our dogs is scared of new people. She sent daily messages and photos while we were away. Her vast experience meant that everything went brilliantly and all the dogs loved her like family. I will not hesitate to book her again.”
“Stephanie was communicative before and during our vacation, which we very much appreciate. She loves animals, was compassionate and attentive to our instructions. One of our dogs had tummy issues while we were away and poor Stephanie had to manage all-hours outings, but did so without complaint and with pity for Jack! We’d love to work with her again and recommend her confidently.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. My family had two Poodles while I was growing up. I helped care for them by giving them baths, feeding them, and walking them. I also made sure they got out and had exercise by taking them for run around my neighborhood. I am active duty in the Army and am stationed at Fort Knox. I can definitely stop by at least twice a day in the morning and then evening. Depending on how far away, I can even stop by mid day during my lunch break. I can come to the pups and care for them at their homes. I’d love to take them out on long walks and to doggie parks. Just playing with them would be amazing!
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old from dogs to cats. I have experience with puppies and there nature and all different types of dogs and dog personalities. I do hope you will consider allowing me to help with your fur babies when your not able to. Thank you I currently do not have a job and I have a abundance of time to take care of and help your pets with what they need. In a client's home I intend to follow all the given instructions if any. If there is not in short i will feed them, play or giving them attention, walk them and make sure there station is clean tidy and comfortable. I will also brush fur if nessscary.
“Qais was incredibly friendly and helpful! I had a last-minute work schedule conflict and needed someone to come care for my 12-year-old Shih Tzu who had just come out of surgery. Qais stepped up on short notice and was a wonderful support for my furson during such a stressful time.”
“Jalontai was great! She was very easy to communicate with, very flexible and willing to accommodate my schedule and updated me with pictures. I came home to a happy dog :) Would definitely book her for visits again!”

Emilie was amazing with my two dogs over the weekend! She was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dogs were well cared for, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Johann did an amazing job with Duck his first time watching him! He is very knowledgeable of animal behavior and different breeds. We got adorable videos of our pup throughout the weekend and plenty of updates that put my mind at ease. Our dog has some health concerns and he did a great job tackling his medications and restrictions. He also left the house cleaner than when he arrived! Highly recommend booking with Johann for your next trip.
This is our second time booking Chase and he has been beyond phenomenal both times. Chase is punctual, he communicates great, and our dogs absolutely loves him! We are beyond grateful for Chase and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs care for their fur-babies.
Jonathan saved our vacation. We had booked with another sitter that never showed up, so we were messaging other sitters frantically on Rover. Jonathan responded very quickly, accepted the job, and showed up within half an hour. I introduced him to the dogs and they immediately loved him. Throughout the week he provided updates and photos. He took them for walks to a local park and around the neighborhood. After a nightmare of a start to our vacation, Jonathan put our minds completely at ease. We could not have asked for a better dog sitter.
Mariah was on time and kept us informed each day with how my pets were doing along with photos. It was obvious from the photos that my cats and dog were very comfortable and happy to be around her. If you are looking for someone who is dependable, cares about your animals, and can be trusted, then she would be a good fit for your pets as well.
Thomas did an AMAZING job of watching our two pups and house sitting while we were away on vacation. He was very prompt with his responses and kept us informed throughout his stay. He also left the house in wonderful condition. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs a reliable sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ravenwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ravenwood on Rover is $31.08 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 634 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ravenwood. 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 Ravenwood 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 Ravenwood 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 Ravenwood 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ravenwood. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
