“Kaitlyn was amazing. She was with my babies for 5 days. She took amazing care of them. They get anxiety when I'm not home so they don't really eat but she did really great on keeping me up to date if they did eat. She is very responsive and I felt very comfortable leaving them with her.”
“Melissa did a remarkable job caring for Theo. It was our first time away from him lasting over 6 hrs in 5 yrs! She dog and housesat 5 days with absolutely no issues, corresponded regularly each day including photos and videos. Finding Melissa has been life-changing for us.. I can't say enough positive things about her.”

I just moved back from college, have all the availability, and need as much experience as I can get for my veterinary degree. I treat all pets with the upmost respect, care and love, any pet is part of my family and will be treated with as much love as such.
“Kimberly was very attentive and professional. She replied to messages almost immediately and provided updated information and photos about the pets. It definitely made me feel more at ease during my trip. I would definitely be booking her services in the future.”
“Kaitlyn was awesome caring for our two dogs while we were away on our first week long vacation! She kindly accepted our request on short notice when we were in a pinch. I am glad we found her and will definitely book with her again!”

“Molly was so wonderful with our 3 dogs. She takes beautiful pictures of them for you, and sends thorough and often updates. We would highly recommend her and will absolutely book with her in the future!”
“Gwen was the sweetest, most attention to detail pet sitter while we were gone for almost 2 weeks! It was a very last minute booking and she was there the second we needed her. She loved our dogs like they were her own animals. She kept our house beautiful, sent us pictures almost everyday with an update, and even got our pups new toys or anything they needed while we were away. I don’t trust many people with our animals since one of our pups had severe anxiety and she handled it with the utmost patience and love. I would recommend her over and over again! You fur babies will be in excellent hands with this wonderful woman!”
“Miriam was an attentive overnight sitter for my two senior pups. Provided lots of pictures and videos and kept me up to date on their meals! Will book her again next out of town trip!”
“I have a boxer and a boxer mix (larger size dogs) and I am VERY picky on who I have watch them. I had another dog sitter scheduled to watch my dogs and a few days before I was to leave for a trip they had to cancel because they got sick. Malik stepped in and said he'd be happy to watch my dogs. We had a meet and greet that went very well. Malik did an outstanding job! He watched my dogs for a week at my house during the day and everyday he either sent pics or a video of them. My younger dog is normally a bit on the shy side and within a day or so she was laying on the couch next to him. I would 10 out of 10 have him watch my dogs 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.”

Any days available on my calendar are currently wide open, any conflicts that might be a random plan will be communicated clearly up front upon booking :) I feed my own dogs and cats on a very strict schedule and have been able to manage their medication and health needs consistently.

“Alivia was great! She was very responsive and kept me up to date! My baby just had a heart worm treatment and I was so nervous to leave him with someone but she was able to give him his meds and give him lots of loving. If I need a sitter again in the future, I would definitely would out to her.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 3 years and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and needs so they feel relaxed and cared for in a familiar environment. I'm patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always make sure pets have plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh water, and a clean space while in my care.
About: I have access to Ft. Liberty😊 I have taken care of friends and families animals since I was a child as well as two cats of my family's. I've had a family dog for about 10 years who loves to go on walks and play fetch. I've previously worked at a doggy daycare, where I've become familiar with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I have a part time job at a restaurant where I work anywhere from 4-9 hour shifts (mostly nights). I am in a sonography program, but in between schoolwork and taking care of my dog's wants and needs, I like to knit or do anything artsy related. While walking any dog, I always make sure their safety comes first, and secondly I make sure they're having fun, they're comfortable, and they're enjoying their walk. I will let your dog use their senses to lead us on the walk but I will make sure we don't get too far or get lost.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rockfish
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!
Chloe was absolutely wonderful! My two German Shepherds can get pretty anxious when I’m away, to the point where they sometimes won’t even eat. She was incredibly communicative and attentive the entire time, sending plenty of updates and photos so I always knew how they were doing. I was honestly so relieved (and impressed) that she got them to eat while I was gone. That alone speaks volumes. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book 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!
Brooke is absolutely fantastic. I have a dog with a lot of anxiety who is terrified of people, and she somehow won him over in MINUTES! She is calm, gentle, and has such a loving nature with all 4 of my fur babies, and they miss her when she leaves!! She’s wonderful and the absolute BEST.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rockfish
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rockfish on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 472 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.
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 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 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.
