“Hello sarah this is the first chance I have had to sit down and write a little note. I wanted to make sure that we were all on the same page and that everything went OK I know the kids missed us, but I know that you took very good care of them. I don’t have anything definitive but sometime around the first part of October bill is gonna have to have surgery up at Mayo so we’d probably be gone maybe 2 to 3 days if you’re interested in when I find something more definitive on date wise, I’ll be certain to let you know if you care to come back that is hope all is well and I thank you for all your hard work”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have two spoiled pups of my own. I offer attentive, loving care—treating every dog like they’re part of my family! Though I work full-time during the week, I’m available on weekends and can check in on weeknights after 5, providing consistent care for your pet. In my home, pets will enjoy a fenced backyard, playtime with my two dogs, plenty of toys, and an extra crate if needed for a safe, fun stay!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life and have been caring for dogs for over 20 years. I currently have a 9-year-old Boston Terrier who is truly the love of my life, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I’m attentive, patient, and very tuned in to dogs’ individual needs and personalities. I love giving dogs plenty of time outside with walks, hikes, and safe play, along with calm companionship and structure. I’m experienced with basic obedience and fun training, including sit, stay, shake, lie down, roll over, heel, and more. I’m comfortable reinforcing routines, providing mental stimulation, and making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is high-energy or more laid-back, I meet them where they are and treat them like they’re my own. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize dog care throughout the day. As a photographer, I can plan my shoots around walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I don’t have many long, all-day commitments this year. This means I’m available for consistent walks, extended visits, and quality one-on-one time. I love being active and would genuinely enjoy filling my schedule with caring for dogs and keeping them happy, exercised, and well attended to. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow all instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure at all times. I’m attentive on walks, mindful of surroundings, and experienced with leash handling and basic training cues. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve owned dogs for years, fostered dogs, and have experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, boundaries, and what makes them feel comfortable and safe. I’m comfortable with large and strong breeds, as well as dogs who need a little extra patience, structure, or reassurance. I also have experience working on basic obedience, leash manners, commands, and positive, reward-based training. I believe dogs thrive with a combination of consistency, exercise, enrichment, affection, and clear expectations. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I treat every dog in my care like one of my own and make sure owners receive plenty of communication and updates while they’re away. Whether your dog wants long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and genuinely excited to see me again. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for dogs is already a big part of my life. I structure my day around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, training, enrichment, and plenty of attention and affection. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give each pet individualized care rather than simply fitting them in between other commitments. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m also happy to adjust my routine to match what your pet is accustomed to at home so they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 Here’s a warm, professional answer you can use for your Rover profile: I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific rules or training they’re working on. I know consistency is important for dogs, especially when their family is away. Safety is always my priority. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, body language, energy level, and individual needs. I use positive, reward-based reinforcement and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and downtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their pet and their space and make sure everything is left just as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of love. 🐾

About: I'm friendly energetic and I can't wait to take care of your little buddy!! My family and myself have had dogs as part of our family my entire life. I'm usually the go to friend to watch my friends dogs whenever they are away or taking a vacation. So I thought this would be a great opportunity to do something I love. I work a full- time job during the week but I am home every night and available most weekends. As long as I have at least 1 days notice I should always be available ☺️ I have a large fenced in yard and 1 small very friendly fur baby of my own. Your dog will be free to roam my home, cuddle on my furniture and experience all the love and companionship I give to my own dog. I have plenty of space for any size dog crate so if your dog is crate trained I can accommodate their stay that way too.

“This was my first time having an in-home house sitter and I couldn't have been happier with Jessica! She was very respectful of my home and took great care of my dogs! She was very conscientious in sending me updates (including photos) and responding quickly to texts. She tired my dogs out so well they slept the whole first day I was back from my vacation!”

About: Having grown up with both cats and dogs, I understand firsthand that pets are more than just animals—they're family! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and my goal is to give them the same love, care, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your furry friend enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing and having some company, I'm happy to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving dependable, attentive, and loving care. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel connected to your furry friend while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I work remotely full-time from home, which allows me to offer doggy daycare services during the week while providing a comfortable, loving environment for your furry family members. Since I'm home throughout the day, I can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship while making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I'm also available for overnight boarding on weekends, giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in a welcoming and attentive environment while you're away. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I'll do my best to accommodate their individual needs and schedules. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing nearby, I'll make sure they feel right at home! Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I take the time to learn about your pet's preferences, feeding schedule, behavior, and any special care instructions before each visit. When caring for pets in your home, I'll respect your space while making sure your furry friend receives plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I'll always make sure doors are secure, fresh water is available, and your pet's environment is clean and comfortable. I also believe communication is important! I'll provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving loving care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Robins

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Robins is $41 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 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 334 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Robins. 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 Robins 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 Robins 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 Robins 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 Robins. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
