Yocelyn obviously loves dogs, and my very anxious pocket bully fell in love with her immediately. Yocelyn has a relaxed feel to her, which was good for my dog, and she was also careful to give Farah her numerous supplements. She left the house as she found it and was responsive about letting us know how Farah was doing. Highly recommend!

Ian was ah-mazing with my burtoncito 🥰 always with him, making sure he had everything he needed and even paying special attention when I was having work done in my home that week. I couldn’t ask for a better care taker for my fur-babes and currently booking again! Thanks Ian!

Jeannie is wonderful! She provided such great care for my fur babies while I was going through a difficult time and put me at ease while I was nervous of leaving my pups. She provided such great updates with pictures and videos reassuring me they were getting plenty of love and attention. Jeannie also went the extra mile to go to the store and get my dogs pumpkin and rice when they had an upset stomach. I highly recommend Jeannie and will continue to book with her because I am at ease when having to travel without my fur babies. Thank you Jeannie for your excellent care and communication

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!

Olena was amazing sitter for Apolo! I had a last minute change in plans and needed a sitter for my friends 14 yo baby Apolo. I chose Olena from reviews and she was incredible! Was able to take Apolo on last minute, made me feel at ease and when arrived was so great with Apolo. They did yoga in backyard and relaxed and played. She is zen and calming presence, Thanks Olena!

This is our second time we've booked Eric for a week for our temperamental fur-son Leo and he was to no surprise, fantastic. He gave us ample pup-dates to let us know how Leo was doing during his stay and never did we once worry that there was anything Eric couldn't handle. Incredibly professional and apartment was just the way we left it upon return!

We booked Joshua pretty last minute to house/dog sit for us over Christmas week, and we could not have asked for a better experience. He took exceptional care of our dog, Haru... sending tons of photos and updates throughout the day, every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Haru was truly loved and well cared for. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house. He vacuumed, stripped the bed, and cleaned the counters -- such a thoughtful and appreciated touch after traveling. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your dog (and your home) with care, attention, and kindness.

As always, Ahmed was the perfect cat sitter. Jack and Sammy love him and probably regret when I come home and he leaves. Lots of play and love! Ahmed sent photos every day -- making the time away from the boys so much easier. I highly, highly recommend Robin and Ahmed -- individually and as a team they are terrific!

We’ve had the pleasure of having Ian care for our dogs once again, and as always, we couldn’t be happier. Ian is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We especially appreciate that he goes the extra mile—not only taking great care of the boys but also cleaning up the yard after them. It’s such a thoughtful extra touch and makes coming home so much easier. We highly recommend Ian and will definitely be using him in the future!

We’ve relied on Joanna many times now to care for our dog and cat, and having someone we trust this much makes being away so much easier. She’s attentive to their individual needs and always reaches out when there’s a detail I’ve missed or something worth clarifying. We have so much peace of mind knowing they’re in her care 🤗

Rai is absolutely phenomenal—hands down the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had! This was Bella Pauline’s second stay with her, and Rai cared for our medication-needing, love-demanding girl as if she were her own. We received plenty of wonderful photo updates, so it was clear Bella was happy, comfortable, and thoroughly spoiled. Rai also left our home spotless, washed the linens, and somehow added an extra cherry on top: Bella was gifted a delicious homemade treat and a new toy. Bella may now think Rai runs a five-star dog resort, complete with room service. We are incredibly grateful and would recommend Rai without hesitation. She is caring, reliable, thoughtful, and truly exceptional!!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 9,974 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.
