“Ashley stayed at our home with our Basset Hound Henry and she was great! From our initial meeting my husband and I were very comfortable with Ashley. It is always a big decision to have someone stay in our home and sit our fur babies so a big shout out to Ashley! Henry is happy and healthy and we enjoyed our time away with ZERO worries.”
“Kirsten always goes above and beyond ensuring your little family member receives the royal treatment. Today my puppy was under the weather and she even made him rice and brought canned pumpkin and was with him the whole time providing comfort and giving him lots of potty. Thorough communication and excellent at following through with specific requests.”
“Meaghan was great! Very responsive to any messages that I sent to her and communication in general. My dogs loved her immediately and she was just very easy to get along with. I would hire her again in a heartbeat to watch my girls! Thanks Meaghan!”
“Melissa was excellent! Took great care of all my critters (1 dog 2 kitties) and sent daily updates. Super easy to work with and everyone was happy and healthy when we got home!”
“Gracie was a great pet sitter! She was responsive, responsible and took great care of our cat and dog. She was very communicative and provided pictures of our furry-faces often. We'd be happy to have her watch our house and pets again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, behaviors, and energy levels my whole life—chihuahuas and shepherds, labs and hounds, aggressive and friendly, excessively dependent and independent. I grew up with four large rescue dogs with their own individual needs, problems, and behaviors, and my experience with them and the little jobs I’ve had have made me an extremely versatile pet caregiver! Whatever you or your pet need, I will do my absolute best to supply. I work short, 30 hour weeks, but I have plenty of time between shifts to take care of your animals :) The family dogs have always been my responsibility, and likely will until I’m moved out of my parent’s house. Pet care is always part of my routine and I would love to be able to have your pets part of it too! **Dog walking is included with check-ins and house-sitting if requested! I will not charge extra if you need your pup(s) (or cats!) walked on top of other care needs.** As I said, I’m versatile in pet care and willing to do whatever is usual for your dog’s routine. However, as a standard: 1. Usually when I walk dogs, I let them lead—I’ll still maintain control, just let them go the direction they prefer, as long as it’s safe! I’m careful to avoid other dogs and people. I love taking dogs on wilderness trails and jogs especially! 2. For overnight stays, I encourage pets to sleep at least in the same room as me, so I can keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. 3. For housesitting, I always make sure to stay tidy and put things up where pets can’t reach them. 4. I do not yell at or hit dogs. When correcting behavior, I stick to positive reinforcement! 5. If a dog is anxious, upset, or injured, I make sure to maintain a calm and quiet environment and treat them as needed. 6. Whatever your rules are, I’ll follow! I want to make sure your pet(s) feel secure and safe during my time caring for them. 7. Any housesitting I do, I try to spend minimal time away from pets. They’ll be given constant attention!
About: As a mom, caring comes naturally for me. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after a member of your family, and that's exactly how Ill treat your pet- with patience, love and plenty of attention. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Pet care fits perfectly with my routine because I work for myself, which gives me the flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide personalized care. My daughter is busy with school, sports, work, etc, so I have the extra time and energy to devote to caring for your pets. At home , I care for my pets the same way I would care for yours, with love structure, and lots of attention. I believe pets thrive when they feel safe, included, and part of the family. My pets follow me around the house everywhere I go:) I keep a clean, comfortable environment, maintain routines, and make sure pets get plenty of play, exercise, affection and companionship.
About: My house was home for 4-5 doggies during holidays for the past few years. I have the flexibility to walk/feed/check in on fur babies. I can teach some basic tricks. I am currently taking a sabbatical from my 9-5. While exploring other careers, would love to care for animals on the side. I have a chihuahua that absolutely loves big doggies. If your dogs love other dogs, I would be happy to introduce my dog to them, if they love their space I will have my dog stay home. I would prefer to care for animals at client's home. My place is an option for emergency situations. I can feed them, walk them, play with them. Teach them some basic tricks.
About: Growing up we had dogs that I took running and on long walks. I have had personally referred housesits for decades, ranging in types of dogs/pets. I am currently transitioning from a long term employment to a project based/contract job base and traveling full time. My schedule is variable and flexible. I am also transitioning 25+ years of word-of-mouth house-sitting into online platforms while traveling full time. I look forward to connecting! I make sure the dogs are safe, well cared for, played with and caring for their physical needs through following described feeding and water schedule and administering any medications in owners instructions.
“We cannot recommend Angelika highly enough! She took all of our stress out of leaving our dog for the week. My dog can sometimes be picky about the people he likes, and with Angelika he was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well taken care of. She checked in frequently, was commutative, accommodating and a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to ensure our dog’s routine was maintained, and we came home to a house that was spotless. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

Thank you, Ashley!! Your care of our 2 cats and little parakeet was wonderful. It made for a more relaxing time away for us knowing you were there. Instructions (many little details) were followed perfectly, as one cat needed some special care. We will not hesitate to call Ashley again when we need thoughtful and attentive pet care!

The average cost for House Sitting in Ronald on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Ronald 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 Ronald 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 Ronald 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
