“Hannah aka Mikki house sat for us and watched our mini dachshund. We did a meet and greet a few days prior to our trip (which we booked with her on short notice) and she was so great with Banjo, even totally unphased by his typical dachshund barking. She seems to truly love her job and love animals. She checked in while we were out of town and sent pictures. This was hands down the best experience we’ve ever had with a Rover sitter and we will absolutely be booking her again.”
“Lynn was awesome! She came to meet the dogs before staying then stayed Memorial Day weekend with our babies. She updated and sent us pics every day and was so good with the dogs! We are so thankful to have such a kind sitter taking care of our pups and will definitely be using her again in the future!!”
“Mason was so good with our 15 year old Shih Tzu, Bailey! I could tell that Mason really cared about her well-being, which was very important to my husband and I. It was such a relief to go to our appointments knowing our fur baby was in good hands. Mason was on time and so easy to talk to. We will absolutely book her again in the future when we need a dog sitter. Thank you, Mason!”
“It was our first time using Rover. And we booked last minute when our dog became ill. Elly was fantastic! Her communication was great, she helped our dog with meds, she sent photos…most definitely an A+. We will most definitely be booking with her again!”
“Shaela provided photos while she puppy sat my 10 week old to ease my mind while I was away. Beyond that, she showed up right on time and left Snowy in her crate with music left on until I got back home. Will definitely book again 😊”
“Ayla did an amazing job! Both dogs were very well taken care of and i would highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services! Ayla even went above and beyond to straighten up the house before leaving!!!”
“Cassy is the best! My pup can be a handful with his medical issues and medications but she was so patient and wonderful with him. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos & videos. Highly recommend!”
“Layla did a wonderful job watching THREE busy labrador retrievers / viszla and taking care of our home while we were out of the country. The dogs are happy and healthy, house is in tact - so I call that a win! We are so grateful to Layla for holding down the fort while we were gone. She is kind and courteous. I would use her again”
“Alexis was extremely communicative and caring for our dog Koko while we were out of town. We felt comfortable with her in our home and with our pup. She sent many updates throughout the day and was very respectful of our home. I would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!”
“Robin did a great job communicating with me and sending me photos. It's such a comfort to be able to have someone stay in my house so Anya can stay in her own home not be anxious. The house was left in great shape with no mess anywhere. Would definitely have Robin stay with Anya again.”
“I absolutely could not have picked a better sitter! Alesha took care of my cats and my house for a week while I was out of the country. She respected my property and was extremely communicative, and really set my mind at ease. She went above and beyond what I expected in every way, did my laundry, cleaned out and organized my fridges, scrubbed out my filthy kitchen sink so it shines! My cats were sick when she came and one of them had lost weight. I came back to healthy cats and that one has obviously gained weight. My cats loved her judging from the pics she sent me. If you want the best, hire Alesha!”
About: I have cared for both cats and dogs, and my two cats, Trouble and Mary, are a big part of my experience. Trouble is full of personality and has taught me so much about the unique needs of cats. Mary aka Grandma has brought so much more joy and love into our home as a new addition to the family. I understand that every pet has its own individual needs and I’m dedicated to providing them with the care, affection, and attention they deserve. I always tailor my care to suit your pet’s personality and preferences. You can trust that when you hire me, your fur baby will feel safe, loved, and cherished, just like mine! Looking after my own pets has taught me how important routine, patience, and attention are. Every day includes feeding, play, cuddles, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I give that same care to every pet I watch. I’m used to fitting you pet’s needs into my day, so pets always get the care and attention they need. Since pet care is part of my daily life, I can help them feel happy, comfortable, and relaxed while you’re away. I follow all of your instructions closely to make sure your pet is happy and well cared for. From meals and fresh water to potty breaks/litter care, or playtime. I’m also happy to handle meds or any special requests. I keep an eye on your home and leave everything just the way you like it, and I stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Plus, I’ll send plenty of cute photos and updates so you can have peace of mind.
“Robin did great with my dog! I was gone for a week and received constant updates. I knew my dog was well taken care of. I hope she will be available in the futures to keep watching ginger!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rockvale on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,760 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rockvale. 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 Rockvale 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 Rockvale 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 Rockvale 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.
