Emily is the best! She was so sweet with the puppies, took pictures and videos, and even brought in our Amazon packages! I couldn’t have asked for more and the dogs can’t wait to see her again!

Elizabeth did an excellent job with our 2 big dogs, for a 2-day out of town trip (on rather short notice). She kept us updated with videos, walked both of them and now has 2 new furry friends.

Claire was the perfect sitter! She is professional and a great communicator. We were out of the country and felt completely at ease knowing she was with our two dogs. She kept in touch daily with updates and pictures. When we got home, we could tell the dogs (and our house) were well taken care of. She also proactively offered to stay longer, knowing a snow storm was on the way that may delay our travel. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a long-term sitter.

We had a wonderful experience with Michela! She stayed at our house for two nights and took care of our 10 year old pup. Michela communicated with us throughout the stay. This was our first visit, and it was clear early on in the visit that our dog was in caring and trustworthy hands. Michela is kind, reliable, understanding, and she treated our pup with so much care and attention. We would absolutely recommend Michela to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate Rover sitter, and we look forward to booking with her again!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I treat each one like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and I'm comfortable administering medications and following special care instructions. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care around my classes. Pet care is already a regular part of my routine, and I make time to give every pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll always communicate my availability clearly and ensure your pet receives consistent, dependable care. Hi! I'm someone you can count on to give your pets the same love and care they receive at home. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I make it a priority to follow it closely. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply giving them lots of attention and affection, my goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like they're my own and believe that patience, reliability, and communication are key to providing the best care possible. I'll make sure you have peace of mind by giving your furry family member the love and attention they deserve. Services I offer: 🐾 Drop-in visits- includes potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. 🚶 Dog walks- includes a fun stroll through the fresh air, either in your neighborhood or around a nearby trail to ensure your pup is getting some fresh air and exercise. 🏡 Dog sitting- includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their home. During this time, I provide daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and of course, cuddles. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and provide dependable care you can trust!

About: I have been pet sitting for three years so family friends and have always been asked back or recommended to others. I will love and care for your pets including walks, play time, pets or cuddles. Typically I will start work at 4:30-5pm going to about 9:30pm and no later than 10:30pm without communication with pet owner. Before my 4:30 shifts on scheduled days I can walk, feed, and play with your pet as much as they need. I have one medium sized older dog in my home who does not care much for other dogs at his age and a male cat that keeps to his own as well. We have a medium sized fenced in yard and a large safe neighborhood to walk around. In your home I am easy to adjust to your pets daily routine and needs.

Eliza was wonderful to work with and a total natural with animals. We were so impressed by her flexibility; when we realized we’d booked the wrong return date, she didn't hesitate to stay an extra night to ensure our dogs were safe and cared for. Highly recommended!

Canzadie was wonderful- she was on time and took wonderful care of Bella. When I got home Bella was sleeping and not anxious at all - this is the first time I had left her all day and so happy with the care and love she had while I was out. Will definitely contact Canzadie again and would recommend her.

About: I've lived with cats and worked with dogs my whole life. From bathing my grandma's dog to walking pit bulls at the shelter, animals have always been a part of my life. Over the summer I'm looking for work wherever I can take it but mostly open. In the school year I am usually never gone more than 3 hours. I live in a pet friendly basement apartment with air conditioning. There is space for a kennel and other supplies if needed. It's not gigantic is very clean and the complex has a bark park.

FAQs for House Sitting - Raymar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Raymar on Rover is $38.85 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 81 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Raymar. 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 Raymar 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 Raymar 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 Raymar 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
