“Kayla did a fantastic job! I’ve never hired a pet sitter before, so I was really nervous about how my animals would do. She was very reassuring and sent me pictures and updates every day. She did fantastically with the dogs, especially my really anxious one. I appreciated how attentive she was to my dogs’ health. She let me know quickly when one of them inevitably puked from stress and made sure they were both happy and tired before leaving for the day.”
“Patricia watch our two dogs Dora and Spark for over a week. This was the first time we had Patricia as our house/dog sitter and we will definitely request her services again. Patricia sent us pictures and kept us updated about the dogs. She promptly answered any of my emails and contacted us if she had any questions. Patricia also watered plants, feed the fish, and picked up the mail. The house was in perfect condition when we returned. I highly recommend Patricia.”
“Alyssa is so so so special!! She took care of my pups while I was traveling for work and it was a great experience for me and for them! She communicates very well and kept me updated about them, took great care of the house and when I came back, I could see how relax and happy my pups were, which means the world to me!”
“Meredith was great! She met them a couple of times before we left, which really helped our older dog with anxiety. She connected so well with the pups. She kept us informed with pictures and videos, so we knew our pups were in good hands. She treated our home with care, too, which was appreciated. We would happily book with Meredith again!”
“This was our second time booking Alexandra. She did a fantastic job watching our dogs and house. She provides updates and is quick to respond. Would absolutely recommend her! 10 out of 10!”
“Sarah was very responsive while watching our dog. She was there when she said she would be and was very respectful of our house! She made our trip away easier by knowing our dog was taken care of”
“Nicole stayed with our fur baby while we were out of the country and she did a great job! She followed our instructions and made sure our pup was well cared for. I highly recommend her services!”
“Pilar was great with my dog and two cats. She took amazing care of them and sent updates and pictures everyday while I was gone. I was especially impressed that my dog, who always sleeps under the covers in bed with me, actually listened and slept on the sofa chair by the bed for her since she mentioned she usually has the dogs sleep not in the bed. He did great with it for her and was right back in bed with me when I got home. I would definitely book with Pilar again!”
“Mara was fabulous with Wags. She paid close attention to what he needed and how he was doing. Communication with her was easy from booking through the visit. Will definitely use her again.”
“Erika was great. Lainey took right to her! Erika went over any beyond what was expected. I appreciated her taking Lainey to the park to explore new things. The house was just like we left it and she even did the towels. I appreciated her taking such good care and playing with Lainey while we were away. Will definitely be using her again. Fabulous dog/house sitter.”
“Savanna was amazing! She made sure Sunny got good exercise and sent us updates and pictures. She was on top of his medication and did a great job with him given his reactivity.”
About: I have taken care of animals majority of my life. From farm animals to small house pets. I have owned a range of different animals myself. I currently have my own furry friend. Toot Wednesday is a black long haired 6 year old cat. He is truly my baby! I have been a pet setter for family and friends for years now. Honored to be the friend they call first to sit for their dogs and cats. I also have a lovely partner who is a doctor of veterinary medicine for Banfield Hospitals here in GSO. He has taught me so much more on the everyday care for our furry friends. I am so excited to extend my love and care to your pets! ** Disclaimer ** Proof of up to date rabies vaccine is required for all pets. That includes paper work and the tag. This is to insure the safety of your pets and mine. Booking will not be accepted until it is provided. Thank you for understanding! 😌 I am currently self employed and therefore my schedule is very flexible. I have No kids & only one cat. I am available on weekends as well! I can take care of most needs for your pet like, feeding, walking, & playing. I can spend more one on one time. I can help give medications if needed.
“We cannot say enough great things about Blanca. She cared for our home and dogs for three and half days and did an amazing job! We came home to a clean house, clean dogs, and she even worked on some training with them!! They had her full undivided attention the entire time and were so spoiled with cuddles, long walks, and playtime! We would recommend her 100 times over and will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you so much, Blanca!”
“Daysi was absolutely amazing. She came and met our dog, before house sitting while we were on vacation. Our dog has epilepsy and needs medication twice a day, she administrated everything perfectly. She sent a variety of pictures and kept us updated once a day (with detailed information). We will definitely be booking her again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Rock Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rock Creek on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,511 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rock Creek. 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 Rock Creek 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 Rock Creek 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 Rock Creek 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.
