“Jeadyce was wonderful taking care of our two babies. Jeadyce kept us abreast of all duties related to their care and beyond. Based on our constant communication and pictures she sent through, including how we found our home impeccable, we won't hesitate to arrange for Jeadyce to take her care of them again.”
“Gabriellla was great with our pups! This was our first experience using River and she did a great job communicating with us while we were away for a week! Highly recommend.”
“Kalie did an amazing job watch my small dog and two cats for a long weekend. She stayed over at my house so my pets were kept in their same routine. I loved all the pictures and updates she sent. She left the house so clean when I came home and my babies were so relaxed. I will absolutely use her again! Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Justin saved me by watching my sweet foster dog blaze for a few days! He is always giving the pups good walks, and lots of love and play time! I will always ask Justin for his services because he is the best!”
“Miles took amazing care of our dog Baxter. He was very communicative and we felt so comfortable knowing Baxter and our home were in his care while we were away. We could not be happier with the house sitting services he provided. Would definitely recommend!”
“We had such a great experience! Joy took wonderful care of our fur babies while we were away and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. It’s always a little stressful leaving your pets behind, but she made everything so much easier. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave them and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Christi was absolutely amazing, giving the best updates and perfectly managing every detail. She created ease for us in ways that went above and beyond pet care, but we also felt confident that our fur baby was treated like a princess. We are so grateful for her level of care and highly recommend!”
“Laura took great care of my dog and my house. She sent lots of updates and followed all my instructions. Laura was very respectful of my home and left it as clean as it was prior to house sitting. I would definitely recommend using Laura for your pet sitting needs.”
“Caylee was amazing. She was very sweet and took great care of my pup. Showed up on time and great communication. Always sent pictures. Kept my dog great company while I was away from my trip. I will highly recommend her for any one needing a dog sitter. I will be reaching out to her any time I can’t take my dog with me. She is first on the list now. You can trust her with your pets.”
About: I have a two year old and a 9 month old dog, both girls. I also foster dogs, have been for close to a year now. I love dogs and would love to watch over your fur baby while you are away and rest assured they will be babied just the same as my own. Please note that I work 9-5 during the week, and come home for about 30-40 minutes for lunch around noon. Typically I am only gone in 3-4 hour stretches. Your dog will not be left alone for longer than a 5-6 hr stretch at the MOST, which is typically ok for an adult dog but I really try to avoid that at all costs for both my babies and yours. I am home in the evenings Mon-Fri, work from home on Friday, and home most of the weekend. I do work a dinner serving shift at the restaurant on Saturdays but hoping to stop that soon as dog sitting picks up. Your dog will either be crated or separated into their own room while I am away to keep everyone safe, we can discuss what works best for your dog. I have crates for all dog sizes. Must be (mostly) potty trained and must be spayed/neutered. I work 9-5 during the week, and come home for about 30-40 minutes for lunch around noon. Typically I am only gone in 3-4 hour stretches.

Must be (mostly) potty trained and must be spayed/neutered. For boarding: Doggies get separated when I am not home to keep everyone safe. Either a crate or a separate room. I have extra rooms, baby gates, and play pens. Everyone gets fed separately to avoid any kind of resource guarding. All dogs get at least a 30 minute walk per day and of course lots of play time with me and/or my dogs. Will happily follow whatever instructions you provide for your pet. Their comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they feel secure, loved, and cared for in my home. Walking/drop in: will make sure to follow your instructions. Lots of play and love.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my household for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on and care for the pets for years now and I always love getting to know the inside personalities of your furry friends! I’m currently living with my parents while I’m on break from college and working a few odd jobs here and there to make extra money, so I have a very adjustable schedule that allows for plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced in back yard and a pretty spacious house. I do have a dog who loves other dogs so they can certainly play together if applicable. My two cats would largely just ignore/avoid animals they aren’t familiar with. In your home I can adjust to whatever your pet’s individual needs are.
“Kiersen did a great job taking care of our dogs and keeping our house clean! She was very responsive, polite and sent us lots of updates while watching our dogs. She was able to stay on top of potty training with our 6 month old puppy so he didn’t have any accidents. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Andri is an absolute gem and we will 100% be booking with her again! She took incredible care of our dog Circuit and cat Penny — when we came home, both were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved the entire time we were away. What really blew us away was her communication. She was prompt, proactive, and consistently went above and beyond what we expected — always reaching out before we even had a chance to wonder how things were going, and responding instantly whenever we checked in. The regular photos and updates made being away so much easier. On top of all that, she left our home spotless — dishes washed, garbage taken out, everything in order. That level of care and thoughtfulness is rare and it did not go unnoticed. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets and your home like her own, look no further. Andri is the one. Highest possible recommendation!”
“Riley was fantastic! He was very communicative and our boys seemed to feel very comfortable with him. He was respectful of our home and our time as well. We’re also so thankful that he was able to save us in a pinch when our usual sitter cancelled. We would love to have him sit again.”
“With a senior dog at home sometimes it can be stressful to leave for a few days, but knowing Chrissonna is the one taking care of her allows me to relax! All three of my dogs love her like family.”
About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter since March 2024. I have experience walking all sizes of dogs from Bernese Mountain dogs to an 8 week old pug. I’ve worked with deaf dogs, a dog that was post-op for an ACL tear, and administered medicine if the pet required it. If you have a reactive dog, I may not be the best fit for you, and that’s okay! I have experience with dogs that are reactive to cars, but I prefer not to work with dogs who are reactive to other animals. I started doing this for a little extra cash & exercise when I’m not touring as a full-time stand up comedian. (It’s a real thing. I promise you never have to hear my jokes, but your dogs probably will at some point during our walks.) If you need a weekday dog walker, I’m your gal! You will also have ample notice for any time that I am traveling out of town for shows as my tours are booked the year prior. I had about 10 consistent weekly clients in Pittsburgh working with a business called Happy Tails, but I just moved to Charlotte so I’m looking for new clients! I’m available most weekdays. Weekends are tougher and will depend on my schedule from my full-time job, but I am open to weekends as long as I am in Charlotte. I am very serious about the comfort and safety of your pet. That means I will take the safest route possible (paved sidewalks with low traffic if possible), provide water, and clean up after them when they potty to keep your neighbors happy. I am happy to follow any guidelines you have for caring for your animal. I am also open to doing a trial period with your pet to make sure that we are a good fit for each other.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my professional experience working at a dog boarding facility for two years, where I cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments. This experience has given me the skills to handle various situations, from managing energetic pups to providing special attention for senior dogs. Additionally, I've been a dog owner since 2012, which has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of dog behavior, training, and the everyday care needed to keep a pet happy and healthy. I am dedicated to providing your pet with the best possible experience. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of extra time to care and love for your pet. I am free mornings and early afternoon as well as late nights. But I can be flexible. Whatever you and your pet need. Unfortunately, my childhood dog recently passed away but now I have extra space and time for your pets! I have all the necessary things to care for your pet as well as a crate for smaller dogs if needed. But every dog is different so the routine I had for my dog is different than the routine your pet is used to, so whatever your pet needs while you are away, I will be happy to provide that for you both.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Red River
Christi was a gem! We loved having her stay with Beaux! She sent us the cutest messages (from Beaux) and really made us feel at ease when we were away. We noticied lastnight as we were watching tv that he was looking for her around the house and went into the guest room. We can't wait to use her again! Feel like I made a friend for life!
Cee was great, sent lots of photo updates (on my request) and communicated well during his stay. I couldn’t be happier we found him to watch our dogs. I felt confident my dogs were well taken care of while I was gone, we will definitely be booking with him again. Thanks Cee!
Kayla was absolutely amazing with Ninja! She always made sure he received the best care and regularly sent me updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Ninja felt comfortable, safe, and loved with her. She is truly the best, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter!
Grace was amazing! Our chiweenie Emily hurt her leg while we were away and Grace kept us up to date on how she was doing and she did everything she could to make Emily comfortable. The house looked great, the plants were well taken care of and the mail was picked up. I would definitely recommend Grace and will certainly use her again. Emily is doing fine!
We had a great experience with Madison. She took Luna on 2 nice long walks a day and respected our home. The house was very tidy when we returned from our trip. It was very nice to return to our home after a week away and feel like it was just the way we left it. Madison sent photos and gave me updates on Luna. We will use her again in the future. She is a super sweet young lady.
Absolutely fantastic. Needed an emergency last minute sit and Alexis was so accommodating. Alexis took amazing care of my 3 difficult puppers, providing great communication the whole time and even making sure some of my dogs idiosyncrasies were normal (they were but so wonderful to have that level of detail in their care).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Red River is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $98 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 2,657 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Red River. 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 Red River 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 Red River 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 Red River 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 Red River. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
