“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.”
About: I pride myself on communication and will always prioritize your pets and their needs while I care for them. I am able to administrate medication and comfortable with any kind of pet. I do this full-time and enjoy making genuine connection with pets and their families. Whether it be play time in the backyard or snuggles up on the couch with a good TV show, I am ready for it all! I do believe that pets succeed best in their own environment and I do my very best to keep their routines stable. I will always treat your home as if it is my own and am more than happy to grab mail, water plants, and put trash bins out.
“Sent many pictures. Went above and beyond with communication while I was gone. Spent hours with my cat and cleaned his ears, cat box is cleaned regularly, overall i definitely recommend Austin. He took notes during the meet and greet to stick to my schedule.”
“Bethany was reliable and punctual. She sent pictures and videos that made me feel confident that my dogs were happy and well cared for during my trip. I will definitely ask her to care for my dogs in the future.”
“They are absolutely phenomenal! Very responsive to messages and coordination of the meet and greet to start. Wonderful in the meet and greet with the dogs(3). We knew leaving them for the weekend would be just fine. We received so many photos of them playing and enjoying the dog vacation. Arriving back to our house it was clean and tidy. The same way we had left it. I’d recommend Rey and Jonathan to everyone.”

“Jennifer was amazing! She did so well staying a week with our very energetic young puppy Nova. She was such a great communicator daily and made me feel very comfortable leaving our home and sweet girl for that long. I look forward to using her many times in the future!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid, from playful puppies to senior adults needing extra patience. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, and play with their dogs while they're away, and I treat every pet like my own. I'm attentive to routines, quick to notice if something's off, and always up for extra cuddle time. Whether your dog needs a quiet homebody sitter or an energetic playmate, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for the whole time you're gone. I have flexible availability. 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rockfish is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $57 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.

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 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.
