About: I’m new to rover but a lifelong pet care provider. I’ve primarily cared for dogs and cats. I’ve some experience with exotics like birds and reptiles as well. I’ve cared for and raised dogs and cats from puppies/kittens to geriatrics and their many potential extra care needs. I pride myself on bringing a balance of experience and calm but engaging energy for all pets. I have experience caring for dogs as small as 7lbs and as large as 90lbs. I’ve provided care for multi-pet and multi-species homes. I pride myself on being the most popular person at the dog park (with dogs, I’m not there for the people). I’m happy to provide additional care to animals that need it for medical or non-medical reasons. Every person and every pet has their own personality and quirks, so I’m happy to learn and provide the highest quality care that I can. I’m currently open to pet care across many times and days. So if you need a recurring or spontaneous pet care, I am happy to work with you. I am experienced with crate training and can crate your dogs if needed. Every home has different dynamics and rules that I want to respect and make your pets experience with me as comfortable and fun as possible. If you have any special requirements, safety concerns, or additional accommodations, then I am always happy to work with pets and their owners for the best possible situation.

“Monica took great care of our 10 month old Staffordshire Terrier, Storm while we were away on vacation. We had initially booked for sitting but ended up going with boarding. Monica sent photos and pics daily and reassured us that Storm was doing well, getting exercise and feeling comfortable. I would highly recommend her for all of services offered.”

About: I grew up with many pets. For example, I’ve had 6 birds, 3 hamsters, 1 dwarf gerbil, 1 leopard gecko, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and possibly more. I currently have 2 dogs. Both are rescues. Jasper is 2 years old and I’ve had him since he was about a month old if even that, and Raleigh who is 7 now. I’ve had her since she was 2. Aside from the doggy babies, I also currently have a brown anole that I took in from Florida. His name is Tommy and I’ve had him for 4 months now. He was a baby when I found him. I also have 2 fish, Gumball and Penny. I personally believe all animals are babies. I’ve also pet sit for family members before. I’m currently working part time and I am also a freshman in College. I do have a good bit of free time, and because I don’t live alone I have people home to help take care of my furry and scaled friends, where as some people may need some extra help that I’d be able to provide! I was raised right. I’m respectful, do not cross boundaries, and know better than to disrespect clients (human and animal, of course!) I’m a big empath, I love animals beyond comprehension. I’m a vegetarian that’s working my way to veganism if that can show you how empathetic I am. I also cry while watching Ratatouille. I love walking, I love talking to animals, I treat animals as if they are literal babies because they are just too cute!

She was very communicative and sent us pictures and videos of how happy the boys were. When we came home, she had left the house cleaner than when she arrived. I cannot give her enough stars!”

Between then and the actual weekend, our dogs condition got worse so there was more than we initially talked about to have to do. He jumped right on it. No complaints. Sent tons of pics and updates. My pups were clearly happy and being well taken care of! Highly recommend booking with him!”

About: I’ve had experience in pet sitting for minimum 10 years. Attention to detail and care for pets needs come first. Restrictions if any are considered as well. Morning, mid day, and evening walks are a must. As well as feeding, as frequent or less as needed. Pets will remain hydrated and have ample play time and relaxation time throughout the day. I offer a fenced yard with a seperate play area inside of home dedicated to pets. There will be ample space inside, or outside of home for pets to flourish and plenty of dog parks available if preferred.

About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of my dog as well as my family’s and friend’s pets since I was 5, and I love all kinds of animals. I have just recently gotten out of the military and I will be having a lot of free time soon so I figured it would be the best time to take care of pets since they require a lot of attention. I will make sure your pet is properly walked and fed and played with for proper exercise daily, as well as applying any medicine needed.

About: I can accommodate your pets needs. My home is ideally suited for pets–a spacious, fully-fenced backyard for dogs to run around safely, I will maintain a calming presence with your dog. Walking/ running, fetch the ball are some outdoor activities to strengthen the bond with your dog. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a dog and have kept dogs for others. I take our dog out for walks and play-time with other dogs in the neighborhood . Diesel is very friendly, energetic and loving. My house has a large fenced yard. It’s not my practice to crate dogs. However, I can crate your dog if requested. I provide dog beds and allow dogs to move about freely. No one else will be assisting me with caring for your dog.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rison

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Rison on Rover is $49.95 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 8,595 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rison. 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 Rison 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 Rison 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 Rison 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 Rison. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
