“Melissa was great with our senior dog. She's very professional and a great communicator. Gave us updates as needed and was a awesome sitter all together. I would use her again anytime.”
“Emily was amazing! She sent pics daily, even though I didn’t always have a chance to reply. Her updates were great and super adorable. When I came home the house was clean (I think cleaner than I left it. ♥️) Litter boxes were clean too. Excited to have her back to hang with my crew. 😊”
About: Dogs and cats have always been a part of my life. I have experience with washing, walking, feeding, potty breaks and overnight stays. Currently, my occupation is a dog groomer. Before this job I was a vet assistant at an Animal Hospital. I work part-time right now so I have plenty of time to watch after your pets. I’m available everyday including weekends. I have a flexible schedule. On days I have to work, I feed my dog and cat twice a day. My dog gets let outside before I go to work then when I get home. He gets baths on a regular basis.

I will keep my promise with always respecting wishes and needs of your animal.
“Tyreika was amazing. She sent the cutest pictures. She should actually be an animal photographer. I knew they were being taken care of as well as if I were here. I would not hesitate to trust Tyreika with my furries again.”

“Courtney was absolutely amazing! She took care of my dogs for an entire month while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was reliable, caring, and treated my dogs like they were her own. Being away for that long can be stressful, but knowing they were in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, and I’m truly grateful for everything she did. I would 100% trust Courtney with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and genuinely caring. Thank you so much, Courtney! ❤️🐾”
“Tiffany house sat our two dogs over the holidays. She went above and beyond with her care of our dogs! She sent daily updates and photos, quickly responded to messages, and even dropped them off and picked them up from a boarding facility for us. Our experience with Tiffany was wonderful! I could tell she really cared for and about the dogs and got to know their personalities and quirks. We have a senior Great Dane that required extra help with mobility, multiple shorter walks throughout the day, and medications and Tiffany did a wonderful job accommodating his special needs. The dogs loved Tiffany and we will definitely be repeat clients for any future trips out of town. I had peace of mind knowing my dogs were at home and being cared for by Tiffany!”
“Cecilia is AMAZING! Very mature and great with my fur babies. This was my first time having anybody watch my animals for a whole week, in my home, while leaving the country.. To say I was a nervous wreck is an understatement, but I knew they would be in good hands from the meet and greet alone. She kept great communication with any updates or concerns, and sends THE best pictures. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

“We were looking for a pet sitter on relatively short notice. I was impressed with Tessah's work experience with animals and her passion for them. She was able to come and stay with our pets (2 dogs, 3 cats plus a foster mama cat and her babies) and we will definitely contact Tessah when we need a pet sitter in the future. I appreciated the prompt and clear communication as well as the pet pictures. Even our shyest cat came out to say hi!!”

I'm happy to work around your dog's routine, whether that's daily walks, feeding times, or overnight stays. Pet care is my main focus currently. Since I care for pets in your home rather than mine, I make it a priority to keep your dog's routine as normal as possible, sticking to their regular feeding schedule, walk times, and any specific instructions you leave me. I always double check doors and gates are secure, keep an eye out for anything that could be a hazard, and treat your home with the same respect and care I'd want for my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rockfish
Jennifer was awesome! She stayed with our dogs for a week. All of our girls loved her. I was not worried because I saw how she interacted with our girls. She sent pictures and updates daily. We have 4 shiT his and they can get very anxious without their people. Our girls were glad to see us but they weren’t stressed and anxious! I’m glad we found Jennifer!
Kaitlyn did an excellent job caring for my two pups. I have a german shepherd with separation anxiety issues and a 14 year old yorkie mix. I can tell she gave them tons of love and attention. Got tons of photo updates too. Came home to a spotless house and two happy dogs. Wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!
Sarah was great to work with. She is very responsible and responsive. She took care of my 3 cats and house over christmas and did a fantastic job. She followed my instructions, kept me updated with pictures, and cleaned before she left. My cats seemed well cared for and calm upon my return and my house looked great. We will definitely be hiring her again!
Lauren worked magic with my shy senior cat, who hides from EVERYONE. But Lauren won her over right away with patience and empathy, and I was delighted to get updates showing my kitty cuddling, playing and feeling safe and loved during my absence. Lauren left my house perfectly clean took great care of my cat. I'm glad I found her and would hire her again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Rockfish is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $56 per night.

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 October 2026, there are 446 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rockfish. 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 Rockfish 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 Rockfish 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rockfish 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.
