“Honor was wonderful with Klooney while I was away for several hours. She updated me with photos and kept me informed of how things were going. I will definitely reach out to Honor next time I need help taking care of Klooney.”

“Ann was absolutely incredible! Our English Bulldogs can be a bit high-maintenance, but she took exceptional care of them. She stayed in constant communication while we were away, sending daily updates, photos, and videos. Seeing how much fun they were having made it so much easier for us to relax on our trip. She even went above and beyond by helping prepare our home for the winter storm that hit while we were gone. Ann was truly a blessing, and our boys already can't wait to see her again 😊”

“Hannah was such a great sitter. She sends updates every day and really took the stress out of our trip. She’s thoughtful and courteous and made sure to take the time to meet our girl before the sit began. We’ll certainly be booking her again!”

“Hailey did a wonderful job taking care of our two pups! We experienced some last minute travel changes, and she was flexible and accommodating prior to arrival as we tried to navigate that. While we were away, we received updates and photos to know they were doing well. And when we returned, everything was in perfect order! We are very grateful for her and will be rebooking in the future!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, literally since the day I was born. My experience spans dogs, cats, birds, horses, donkeys, goats, and rabbits, giving me a deep understanding of animals with very different personalities, needs, and routines. I began fostering animals at 12 years old alongside my mom, helping care for them and place them into loving forever homes. My first job was as an in home pet sitter, and I immediately fell in love with providing animals the consistent care, attention, and comfort they need while their families are away. For over 10 years, I managed a farm, which taught me how to confidently handle multiple animals at once, follow detailed care routines, and stay calm, observant, and organized in dynamic environments. While I have years of hands on experience, my love and respect for animals has always come first. As a pet parent myself, I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Because of that, I’m intentional about clear communication, regular updates, and treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in caring hands while you’re away. I’m currently working remote so my schedule always is very flexible. I can provide multiple potty breaks through out the day and I also enjoy taking pets on a mid day walk. I have a fenced in yard, two friendly dogs and a quiet neighborhood perfect for our daily walks. Crating is also available per your request.
About: I have over 6 years of experience with professional in-home pet care, along with a lifetime of caring for my own dogs. I am also certified through the PPCA! I understand how important it is to give your pets the same love and attention I give my own! I truly enjoy spending time with pets, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship. My goal is to be a little part of your family and provide that peace of mind while you are away! Pet care is my full time job! My husband is home for my fur babies every night and morning if I need to be at overnights. And I make sure I have time to check in on my babies during the day if have a full day! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention through walks, playtime, and companionship, always practicing proper leash etiquette and respecting feeding or medication instructions. I create a calm, caring environment where pets feel secure, whether they’re playful, need a little extra patience, or are in delicate stages of life, so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.
“Alicia is amazing!! I received daily updates on Milo along with pictures which put my mind at ease that he was doing well. Hiring Alicia is like having a family member care for your pet-she took him on his daily walks and loved him like he was her own. Not only did she take such good care of Milo, but also my home, going way above and beyond doing extra cleaning so that I would come home to a clean house after a week away. I am so grateful I found her and she will be my first call whenever I travel!!”

“Nidia was wonderful while watching my dog Gus for an extended weekend. She was able to come by before hand to meet Gus and myself so we could have introductions and to ensure it was a good fit. While away, she sent lots of pictures and was great at communicating. When I got home it was also clear she cleaned up a bit and was a great guest!”

“Katie was such a blessing to us! We didn't have to worry about our two dogs. She checked on them frequently and spent many hours at our house. She sent pictures and updates each day. She was a wonderful house guest and kept things running smoothly. She went above and beyond handling the trash cans, mail and dishwasher. She carefully followed our instructions and was attentive and caring. We came home to happy dogs!”

“Tyler is wonderful! He’s extremely trustworthy and great with my older dog. He makes sure the house is as clean if not cleaner for us when we get home and he’s extremely flexible and communicative.”


About: I have taken care of pets for years, including small dogs and very large dogs, most of them energetic. Neighbors, friends, and family have all relied on me to feed, watch, and love their pets! I’m currently a college student, so my hours are pretty flexible. I have lots of time to spend with the pets and with make sure they’re a priority! I love animals a whole lot, so I’m pretty willing to do anything. Usually I play a lot with pets and walk dogs once a day, although I can do so more often.
“We’ve never left our dogs with anyone but Dani and Justin made us feel so comfortable! They are great at communicating, providing updates, and even had the house spotless when we returned! I will definitely be rebooking!”

About: I have 3 dogs and one cat of my own! I’ve had two of the dogs since they were puppies, and my cat since he was a kitten. I’ve also pet sit for my neighbors many times! My three dogs are all chihuahuas, but i’ve had experience with bigger dogs too. I am currently working part time, but I’m planning on going full time with pet sitting! Once summer is over I will be going to school but early in the morning, from around 8 to 12. So I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets ! I will not bring your pets to my own home, because my dogs are not very friendly to other pets. I will be able to go to your home and take care of your pet(s) there!

About: I’ve owned animals of many kinds since I was born, and been a primary caretaker since I was about 10! I’ve been trusted to care for animals of every age - from rambunctious puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little more patience - and every size, whether it be a giant dog or a fragile kitten. I understand the importance of individual care, so I am ready to learn all about your animals and adapt to their needs. Additionally, I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and have experience with many basic care skills. I am familiar with routine care such as feeding routines, walking, bathing, and training. I have ample experience with oral, injectable, and topical medications, and can confidently administer first aid if necessary. Additionally, I am ready to slow down and give extra care to any senior or special needs animal who may need a little more attention. I hope to make every pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible while in my care, and will make sure to keep you updated with pictures! I currently don’t work, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. They can have my full attention, I can make frequent visits, or just drop by every once in a while, whatever works best! Saturdays I am not available for walks, but I am happy to sit through the weekend if needed! While I don’t offer sitting in my home due to my own dogs, I am confident I can adapt to whatever routine your animals are used to in your home. Whether they are high maintenance or totally chill, I am willing to provide whatever necessary to make sitting as stress-free as possible!
“Kelley was great! Daisy was super well cared for and the house was left in better order than when I left. She provided lots of photos of my fur girl in her day, I would definitely rebook with Kelley.”

“Kaitlynn has been nothing but the best for watching our hyper dogs , we appreciate how she has adjusted to them & how much they enjoy her company. I would definitely recommend 10/10 for anyone searching for a dog sitter”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rhome 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 2,658 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rhome. 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 Rhome 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 Rhome 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 Rhome 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.

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.
