What an amazing sitter. The pups loved her and she kept us updated on their day with pictures. Yocelyn is also a wonderful house guest. We came back to our home in perfect condition. What a great experience with her - a true pet lover.

This is the first time we've worked with Ian to house sit for our two dogs. It's obvious from meeting him for the first time that he is a dog person and really gets them. One of our girls is very shy around men but she warmed up to him right away, which is saying something. We came home to two relaxed and happy dogs. You really can't ask for more than that. On top of happy dogs, the house was completely in order, which I appreciate. We will definitely hire Ian again.

Tara housesat for our rescue pittie and we couldn't have had a better experience! This was our first time leaving our dog along for an extended period and Tara helped us feel at ease. She gave us daily updates with photos and communicated if there were any questions or we had a last minute request. Everything was clean when we returned. Thanks Tara!

Veronica is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My six month old puppy Zeke loved her and had such a great time with her and her dog JoJo. She kept me up-to-date on how things were going and sent pictures every day. She stayed at my house and when I returned, it was like I never left… She had cleaned everything up!! She is fantastic! Highly recommended!

AMAZING sitter! We had Jenny watch our pets for a week while we were out on vacation. I left care instructions and she followed them to the teeth! One of our dogs got sick and Jenny took the steps to make sure both her and the house were taken care of. Would hire her again for sure!

McKenna did an excellent job with our high-energy Aussie, who can be a bit anxious sometimes. She was super communicative, punctual, and shared lots of photos and updates. This was the first time we left him overnight with someone other than family, and it was great to know he was in good hands with McKenna. She also left our house as clean, if not cleaner, than it was before. Excited to work with her again soon!

About: I have taken care of my dogs since I was young, small (shih tzu) to large (German shepherds). I am friendly and open to changing schedules if needed! Hi I am free all summer except on times I work at my main job, but that will be posted on my availability! Thank you. I have a family home with a backyard and deck for space to roam. 2 friendly dogs to keep company, one Labrador and German shepherd.

Kari really me helped me feel at ease going away for a few days without knowing how my newly adopted pup with separation anxiety would react. Turns out Kari is a dog whisperer and Belle did great in her care! Kari was communicative in how things were going and she was very observant and thoughtful in understanding and proposing what Belle might need or like. Thank you Kari for being so kind and attentive with Belle and all of us as a family!

Veronica is amazing!!!! I was recently overseas for a vacation and was gone for 12 nights— the longest I have been away from my boy, Crosby. Veronica was SO understanding and patient with me— she knew I was anxious and did everything possible to calm my nerves. Her communication with me was great - she sent lots of videos and photos and kept Crosby’s routine. She also took Crosby with her where/ when she could - to reduce his time alone. I arrived home to clean laundry and a happy dog! I trust Veronica completely and highly, hoghly recommend her!!!

Natalia was available on relatively short notice over a holiday weekend. She took the time to read all of our instructions and kept our quiet, calm, and shy dog company while house sitting. She left our home clean, washed any dishes she used, and was a very considerate. We really appreciated her care and would use her again.

We couldn’t say enough great things about Max being our Dog Sitter. He came to our home prior to our leave date to meet our dog Casey. She was instantly drawn to him and he put her at ease immediately. Casey is a bit more challenging to watch, but Max pulled it off without a hitch! We receive pictures and videos daily with updates on her progress and events that were happening. It made our trip so much more enjoyable, knowing she was in such good hands. When we got home and Max went to leave, Casey was so sad to see him go. At first, we thought she liked him better than us! He is definitely the best and we will use him for future needs.

This was the second time we used Tatiana to sit for our dog in our home, this time for 18 days! Not only did Tatiana provide excellent care and love for our sweet Lily, she also took great care of our home!! Tatiana sent pictures every day and we had zero concerns about our pup while we were gone. I cannot recommend Tatiana highly enough.

Wow! Adrian was absolutely the best. He stayed in our home with our animals (cats and giant dog) for a long weekend, and he could not have been better. He provided regular updates, gave such attentive care to our pets, and he left the place cleaner than when he arrived. The animals really seemed to love him. We will be using Adrian again and cannot recommend him highly enough.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rose Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Rose Hill on Rover is $66.6 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 9,989 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rose Hill. 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 Rose Hill 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 Rose Hill 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 Rose Hill 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 Rose Hill. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
