“Abby is a wonderful dog sitter! We could not have gotten luckier with finding her to care for our dog! Throughout the last year she’s watched our dog multiple times and is always very communicative, flexible when we’ve needed it, follows all directions, and clearly really cares about our dog. Would truly recommend Abby to absolutely anyone that needs a dog sitter! Thank you Abby!”
“Sarah was great with communication! She stayed at our house for a few nights and took wonderful care of both the pups and our home. Will definitely rebook for future dog sitting!”
“Anna was absolutely amazing with our three shelties! We got lots of pictures of them having a blast and daily communication which helped ease any worry while we travelled out of state. Dogs were happy when we got home and I think they are wondering when Anna is coming over again for snuggles 🥰”
“Audrey is very friendly and an excellent communicator. She confirmed all appointments we set prior to the pet sitting dates and sent daily messages when we were away. She also sent pictures knowing we enjoy seeing the pups even when we’re gone. Audrey left the house very clean including running laundry and the dishwasher upon her departure. I hope to use Audrey’s services many times again in the future!”
“She is fabulous she kept updates and tons of photos to show. She was a very quick response and my girlie loved her! This was our 1st time using rover app. She calmed my nerves with all the smiles and loves from our girlies. We will be using marikita again for sure! Thank you again!!”
About: Hi! I'm Megan, and I've been around dogs my entire life. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly love getting to know each pet's unique personality. I previously worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, where I learned to recognize when a pet may need medical attention and became familiar with common health concerns. While I'm not a veterinarian, I know what warning signs to look for and won't hesitate to contact you or seek veterinary care if something doesn't seem right. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, going on adventures, or curling up on the couch for cuddles, I'm happy to match their routine and make them feel comfortable while you're away. My goal is to treat every pet like they're my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're safe, loved, and well cared for. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! I currently work part-time at a hospital in Lincoln, where I work two 12-hour shifts each week. Since I create my own schedule, I know my availability up to six weeks in advance. In short, I have plenty of flexibility and time to provide the care and attention your fur baby deserves! I am more than willing to watch your fur babies in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I know how important it is for pets to keep their normal routine, especially when their humans are away. I will treat your pets like they are my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re gone. I am also respectful of your home and will make sure everything is left the way I found it.
About: Animals have always been an important part of our lives. We raised one of our dogs from an 8 week old puppy and adopted another from a shelter when she was estimated to be 1 to 2 years old, she was with us for over 17 years! We cared for them through every stage of life. That experience taught us the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and paying attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll care for your furry family member with the same love and attention we gave our own. I currently work part time, which gives me flexibility for dog walks, drop in visits, and house sitting. My schedule varies, but I’m available many afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m active and genuinely enjoy long walks, hikes, and spending time outdoors, so whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll or plenty of exercise, I’ll make sure they get the attention and activity they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I cared for my own two dogs for many years, raising one from a puppy and adopting the other from a shelter. I have experience caring for dogs through every stage of life, including senior dogs with changing needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home secure, provide regular updates and photos, and treat your pet with the same patience, love, and respect I gave my own dogs. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: My family has had all types of pets over the years, from chameleon to Great Dane! I have experience giving medication to animals as well! I love all animals, especially cats and big dogs; your pets are in good hands! I work from home so I am available all hours and all days of the week! I have a second job where I work max 5 hours Thursday and Friday nights. I would prefer not to bring your pets to my house as my cats can be skittish around other animals, but I am more than happy to come to yours!
“Our Hazel and Estes have a new buddy and we are so happy and grateful for Piper for taking such good care of them. Piper provided daily pictures that showed our puppies enjoying their time. We will definitely book again!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Before returning to college, I attended PIMA Medical Institute in Denver and worked as a veterinary technician in both Colorado and Nebraska. I worked alongside multiple veterinarians at Banfield Pet Hospital throughout the Denver metro area and later at a rural veterinary practice and boarding facility in Mitchell, Nebraska. My veterinary experience gave me the opportunity to care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm comfortable administering oral, topical, eye, ear, and injectable medications (including insulin when prescribed), caring for senior pets, and following detailed care instructions for pets with medical needs. One of my favorite parts of working in the boarding facility was helping nervous pets feel comfortable. Being away from home can be stressful, and I loved taking the time to earn their trust—whether that meant sitting quietly with them, giving them extra affection, or even making up a silly little jingle while we spent time together. Watching a scared pet relax and begin to feel safe was one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Today, I'm a nontraditional college student and work part-time on campus, which allows me to offer dependable afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I provide regular updates, photos, and complimentary meet-and-greets so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, capable hands. Every pet deserves to feel safe, understood, and loved—even when their favorite people are away. I work part-time on my college campus during weekday mornings, so I'm generally available for afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. In the right circumstances I can squeeze in some morning visits. I enjoy building relationships with both pets and their owners, and I strive to provide dependable, consistent care. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a walk, medication, or a little extra company while you're away, I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. With my background as a veterinary technician, I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and recognizing changes in behavior or health that may need attention. I treat every home with respect and do my best to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible. You'll receive regular updates and photos, and I'll always communicate if I have any questions or concerns. I believe trust is earned through reliability, compassion, and treating every pet as the unique individual they are.
“Hannah is phenomenal. Super friendly, punctual and professional. Scout is super timid and he took to her immediately and actually gave her a hug on her second sitting appointment, which he never does. I highly recommend her!!”
“Marie took such good care of Hunter! She took him on lots of walks and made sure he got the attention he needed. Marie clearly likes dogs and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Emma did a great job with Millie. She sent pictures and texts to keep me updated which made me feel more comfortable leaving my elderly Diva. I will definitely book her again.”
“Nathan took extra care with our very senior pup (14+, fragile condition) and they got along well during his overnight stay at our home. He’s very conscientious, read our instructions in advance and asked good questions to learn more or get clarity. We came home to a calm pup and tidy home. We hope we have Coco long enough to have Nathan sit with her again!”
“Gretchen took wonderful care of our 2 large dogs while we were away for 3 nights. She had excellent communication and sent fun photo updates every day. Our house was very clean when we returned. We will definitely book her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Rokeby
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rokeby 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 249 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rokeby. 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 Rokeby 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 Rokeby 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 Rokeby 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rokeby. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
