Lindsey is amazing and was a life saver for our entire family! Our dog does not do well out of her element and we had to go away for 4 days. Lindsey, sent pics, videos, cute messages, and reassuring notes for us that made us feel at ease. And, most importantly, Hershee was happy!

Second time having Zhanna watch my energetic boy, and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ryder loves her, and I come home to a happy, content dog. Plus, she takes the BEST photos. Attentive to instructions, responsive, and overall one of the best sitters I’ve had on Rover!

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!

Amazing pet sitter that put us at ease from the first meet & greet. Eric was very punctual and listened to all our needs and followed our instructions with precision. Our dogs were happy and with the youngest being usually timid around new people. Eric took care to make them feel comfortable and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Would highly recommend!

Cassie was absolutely amazing with our old rescue!!!! We had a family wedding to go to out of town then got hit with the snow storm and she stayed an extra day to make sure our girl was taken care of and communicated so well that I didn’t have to stress at all about the situation. Honestly we couldn’t be more grateful for her taking her time to understand our dog and take care of her.

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!

My dogs are a bit spoiled, and he handled them with so much patience and affection, making sure they felt comfortable and loved. I highly recommend him and will definitely be using his services again in the future. Thanks for everything!

Olena was fantastic! She was so helpful and caring towards our two large dogs. I got lots of photos everyday. She walked them often, and gave extra care for our golden’s hot spot. She let us know when she had any questions and was patient when I was slow to respond. She spent the nights in our home and was very respectful of the space. She even offered to vacuum when the dog hair started to pile up! She loved our dogs while we were away and we are so very grateful!

This was my first time using Rover. Tara housesat for me over 4 days. She came over to meet my Amstaff, Zoey, before booking. I really appreciated that time to get to know Tara a little, since I have never left Zoey with someone I don't know—and she is a 12-year-old dog that needs to go out to pee often. Throughout the stay, she sent photos and thoughtful updates, which was comforting to see/know that Zoey was in good hands. I came home to a happy dog and the house was left clean and tidy. I absolutely trust Tara with Zoey and my home—and will definitely book with her again!

I would highly recommend Jackie to care for your fur babies. She is caring, detail oriented, and has great communication. While I was out of town, she took care of my two pups and ancient cat like they were her own - did all the feedings, pottying, litter box cleaning, etc. I feel comfortable leaving them in her care and I’m so thankful to have found such a wonderful sitter.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we left, we received constant updates, tons of photos, and detailed messages that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were being genuinely cared for and loved while we were away. The communication was outstanding, and seeing so many pictures of our pups happy and comfortable made all the difference. Reliable, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire stay. We were so impressed that we’ve already booked her again for our summer travel. Highly recommend!

Rai is an absolute rockstar. She swooped in after a last-minute cancellation, wrangled our wild new puppy, and pampered our senior dog with his twice-a-day meds like it was no big deal. Our house was spotless when we got home, the pups looked like they were on vacation in every photo, and it’s obvious she’s a true **dog** person. 10/10, would trust her with our furry circus any time.

Auston and Kaitlyn our lifesavers. They were able to take care of our lovely cats and dogs complete with a lot of special care needed for a couple of our four legged friends.

Morgan was my life saver! I needed a last minute sitter two days before my 6 day trip. I reached out to Morgan and she was very helpful from the start. She was very responsive and respectful in the meet in greet. She took care of my home and dog for 5 nights. My dog and her got along super well, which was a breath of fresh air since we dog is picky about people! Came home to a clean house and happy dog! Thank you Morgan, would highly recommend!

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 June 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 June 2026, there are 9,925 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.
