“Karla is amazing! I am so thankful we found someone we can trust to stay at our home and watch our dog when we travel. She sends picture updates, is great with communication, spoils our girl while we are gone, and keeps our home fresh for when we return! Highly recommend her 😊”
About: I'm 18 years old but I've taken care of all sorts of animals my entire life, cats, dogs, lizards, you name it! I've also had 6 dogs and 1 cat myself, which have all grown up and old in a happy and fun environment! I do not live in a neighborhood, so i have a large fenced yard along with about 4 acres of field to play in, along with a lake near me for hot summer days. Given all of the pets i've taken care of, I have great experience in dogs and cats of all ages, puppies, senior dogs, etc. I am currently a senior in high school at Glacier, however I only have one class that is completely online, so i am home all day everyday! Along with school i work a part-time nanny job in the AM Mondays and Thursdays, but it is super flexible so i can meet your needs. As you can see i have a very open schedule that is easy to work with, and i am home most of my days which is perfect to watch your animals. I'm using my love for animals as a little source of extra income! I have a large fenced and protected yard with an easily accessible dog door on both the top and bottom floor of my home. I do have two of my own fur babies, but they are trained and are used to being around all different types of dogs. However, if your dog/ cat is not good with other dogs and cats I am able to keep them separated by the floors in my house, so that would be no problem.
“Erran was fantastic! If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. She really has a way with animals and is so kind and thoughtful! She took wonderful care of our house, our pups and even our geckos and frogs! Everything was in perfect order when we returned and the dogs are so happy! She really went above and beyond more than any other sitter ever has! We really truly appreciate you, Erran and thank you so much for taking such great care of our dogs and our house while we were away for the last week and a half! We can’t wait to have you back again! Thank you so much.”
“Natashia was fantastic. She clearly loves and cares for animals, and our cat Bean Bean was extremely pleased with his new friend. She was responsive and helpful, and left our apartment somehow cleaner than when we left it. She even tacked on an extra day to cover our delayed flight. Just a great person.”
“Oh gosh where to start! She was amazing. Definitely wore the boys out which they LOVED. She even left the boys some toys and treats. Would definitely use Pricilla again!”
About: I started a dog sitting business in high school just to spend time doing what I love. I bought a puppy in college and it was amazing learning to raise it. I love pets and want them treated with the right amount of care. I work part time at the airport while Im out here in Montana and have a very flexible schedule. A young single man who loves animals and has plenty of time to give to them. I have a lot of energy for those through the roof dogs and can also just chill on the couch if need be. Whatever is necessary for your dog, I am willing to offer. A strong military background has molded me to show respect and care to anything you leave me with.
“Kalia is great! She took great care of our pets and home during our travels, and was reliable and trustworthy. Our dogs love her dearly, and we'll definitely book with her again in the future when we travel.”
“Emily house sat for us and our 2 fur babies! She left our home spotless and my two little ones enjoyed her company. She is professional and trustworthy! I would highly recommend her :)”
“Jessica is one of the most attentive and communicative sitters we’ve ever worked with! She provided frequent updates and photos and both my babies (a dog and a cat) looked so happy and content in every picture. We had multiple days in the high 90s while we were out of town and she made sure Moose got out early in the mornings or late in the evenings, and even did his puzzles with him during the day to get some energy out. 10/10 would recommend her to take care of your babies!”
“Eileen is amazing! My little particular pooch, Lucy, adored her from the moment of our initial Meet & Greet. Eileen stayed at my home with Lucy for 3 nights. She is caring and attentive - feels now like she’s family. Such a comfort to leave my Lucy with such a great sitter.”
“Amazing experience with Vicki!! Her communication was great, she was patient & sweet with my 3 crazy dogs, and left our house cleaner than we left it. Thank you ? would definitely recommend!”
“Julia was great! She took good care of our two dogs, always replied promptly to communications, kept us updated on how things were going, and left the house in great shape. We would happily use her again.”
“Havana is an amazing dog sitter! One of the best! She’s punctual, intelligent and genuinely cared and loved our dog. She also sent us updates and pictures. I would recommend her to friends and family for their dog sitting needs. Five stars all around.”
“Sherri went above and beyond for our fur babies while we were away. It’s truly hard for us to feel at ease when leaving them because they are like our kids, but we felt so comfortable with Sherri. She sent more updates and photos in the first evening than most sitters have sent us for whole trips! We are already planning to book Sherri again and would highly recommend her.”
“Madison was wonderful with our golden retriever! She was super communicative and transparent with her work while watching our dog, which was great! She sent us fun photo updates and Huckleberry looked like she was having a blast. The house was also clean and tidy when we came back! Thanks, Madison!”
“Our two pups liked Kimberly from the moment she walked thru the front door. We felt very comfortable having her at our home. When we returned the dogs were happy and our home was spotless. Very pleased”
“Riley responded right away to my request to sit in our home with our puppy. He has separation anxiety and she knew how to handle him. She stopped by a couple of days ahead to learn our routine. She was very responsive and communicated when she would arrive before visiting. We would use Riley again as our sitter”

“Katelyn is one of the most trustworthy people I have ever met. She has house sat for us which included taking care of our 7 year old Great Dane and 11 month old Golden Retriever. She followed every instruction given and kept in communication with us throughout our trip. She was extremely respectful to our home and left it in better condition than we had left it. It was very important to us to have our pets stay in the comfort of our own home, as boarding kennels can be stressful. Being able to have Katelyn stay at our home at an affordable rate gave us so much peace of mind. She loved our animals like her own and we will most definitely be using and recommending her services again in the future!”

Elizabeth took great care of our 2 year old dog, Rory. She was completely reliable, sent lots of pictures, and we could tell he was well loved when we returned home. She left our house very clean and communicated well with lots of pictures while we were away. We will absolutely be using her again!
Lauren was wonderful! She is very sweet & my two cats loved her. Lauren was attentive to them, & made it so much easier to leave them knowing they were in great hands. She sent updates & photos each day, which I appreciated so much. Would highly recommend Lauren!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rhodes on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 149 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rhodes. 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 Rhodes 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 Rhodes 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 Rhodes 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 Rhodes. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
