“Erika R. Is a fantastic “dog-sitter!” She is very knowledgeable of dogs, flexible (our plans changed at the last minute), attentive & caring. Our dog seemed to enjoy himself & have a great time as well. Erika went the extra mile to keep our dog entertained & happy. She even sent us picture updates throughout the day. She allowed us the piece of mind to know our dog was well cared for so that we could enjoy our day too. I definitely recommend Erika R. as a sitter & plan to use her again in the future.”
“Giselle was great with my dog and kitty 😺 She gave my dog his medicine as instructed and fed him as well. My dog is a picky eater and she was able to get him to eat. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life, mostly dogs i love dogs so MUCH, i don’t see them as pets i see them all as best friends and therapy. they’re so nice and loving and forgiving and cuddly, I’m patient with these little angels and i have experience pet sitting and doing minor training with them! I’m working sort of a part time job And am off Wednesday, and Weekends. I can dog walk anytime after 6:00pm on weekdays. So being productive will help me with new responsibilities and things for me to learn about different breeds of dogs! ill take care of your pets as if they’re my own, show them the love they need as if they’re owner never left!

Brandon Lamberty”
“Jennifer was very responsive and attentive to detail. She was able to provide all the necessary compassion and needs for my 4 legged family members to feel comfortable for an at home overnight stay. I would both recocomend her to new clients and look forward to having her back. Thanks! 🙂”
“We had a last minute event and she came through! We highly recommend. Great communication quick response, and punctual. We have a Great Dane Mastiff and an 14yo boxer who can be very needy in their own ways. She sent updates of potty breaks, meals and asked all the important questions. We will definitely request her again. Thank you for taking care of our babies!”
“Alysabeth cared for our two Weims for a week. She sent daily updates including awesome photos of the boys. Both of our dogs were on meds while we were away and Alysabeth had no trouble administering their pills. We had peace of mind knowing our boys were in good hands while we were away on vacation. I would absolutely rebook Alysabeth in the future.”
About: More than just a side hustle, it’s my passion. 🌸 -lifelong dog owner -experience as a wrangler, ranch hand, & foster. -worked in boarding facilities & daycares -shadowed & worked alongside professional trainers -volunteered at shelters, rescues & ranches. -Experience with all sizes, ages & personalities, from puppies to seniors, including pets with special needs etc. My Home☺️ - home 24/7, so our days have room for companionship, play, rest & more! - My mother currently stays w me, offering an extra set of caring hands. *You’re welcome to meet her, too!* :) - A single-story home with a secure yard for supervised play & grass patches on the deck for potty breaks. ⭐️My animals always come first. They eat before I do. Their happiness, safety & comfort are the first things on my mind, & when your baby is in my care, they become part of that same love <3 & I truly understand they’re not “just pets” - They are family. They know your footsteps. They find you when you’re sad. They understand silently, better than most. I understand why leaving them with someone takes so much trust & faith. That’s why I care about the little things. Whether they’ve eaten, whether they’re comfortable, whether they need to burn off some energy or just have someone sit beside them. Working with animals has taught me how to listen to the things they can’t say out loud. I would be honored to earn your trust. I want them to have someone who notices, who understands & somewhere they can rest easy ☺️ -I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule to attend to your dog's needs. -My mother stays with me, 4 eyes - instead of 2:) - My home is completely fenced in - safe for your dog to roam and run around supervised. -Back Door Screen is always open so they can go in and out when they please. -Can easily crate or separate the dogs if needed. - Neighborhood is safe and dog-friendly -Ac/heat on 24/7 for your babies ensured comfortability. I have a fully fenced yard, and two very friendly dogs. If needed, my pups definitely can be separated in a different section of the house, or crated. I have always put full dedication to keeping an eye on your pups constantly:) In my client's home, I follow every rule and expectation they imply. I take extra precautions being in the client's home, as I don’t want anything to happen to any of their stuff, or their furbaby.
“Sienna did an amazing job watching our two dogs and housesitting for us for a week. She did a great job communicating with us to update us on the dogs and sent pictures too which helped put us at ease while we were away. We came home to happy and healthy dogs and a remarkably clean house. We will definitely be booking with Sienna again when we need a dog sitter. Thank you, Sienna!”

“Mariah was amazing with my new pup. Very timely with arrival and Chase was immediately comfortable with her. I would definitely be contacting her again to keep him when needed.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets ever since I was 12. I’ve also had experience with puppies and elderly dogs. Family and friends always rely on me to take care of their dogs while on vacation and I’d say I do a pretty good job! I am currently home for college and would love to pet sit for anyone in need of a sitter. Anytime works for me. I’d be happy to help! I usually like to give dogs a walk if they’re up for it. I give them food and make sure they’re well fed. I also give them baths on occasion!
“Marx took great care of my senior citizen pup while I was away and communicated effectively when he had questions, or needing clarification. I also got sick while on my travels and Marx so graciously was able to stay another day so I could recover and enjoy the remainder of my trip. My dog seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned home. I would definitely use and recommend Marx again to others.”

“It was our first time leaving Luna (our rescue who we believe was previously traumatized) so we were a little anxious. We couldn't have asked for better. Norma was amazing. She stayed in our home to look after Luna and looked after both as if they were her own. The house looked amazing and Luna was calm and relaxed, clearly well looked after. Norma sent us regular updates and pictures which were much appreciated. We would highly recommend Norma if you are looking for someone who is conscientious with a genuine love of animals. Thanks Norma x”
About: I taken care when I was very young even taking care of ill/sick animals. I'll nurse them back to health when vets couldn't do it. I bottle feed and take them to the restroom when they are babies. I been taking care since 10 years old. I'm very open with my schedule and love to be around animals. I work from home working as a editor and have lots of free time. I have a gate area for all animals. I always have them on a leash and make sure we walk in the morning or evening.

Vanja took very good care of our two large dogs. One is shy but he took to her right away. She was open to a meet and greet beforehand, which I really appreciated. When we returned home the dogs were happy and healthy, and the house was just as we had left it. I would highly recommend her.
Erika is AMAZING—just delightful, responsible, communicative, reliable, and very focused on the well being of all animals. I felt so relieved to know my kitty was in her hands while I was away. I will knock down her door to care for Clover every time I have to go away. Thank you Erika!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Rimforest is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $125 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.

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 Rimforest 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 Rimforest 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 Rimforest 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
