Veronica took great care of our pups and home while we were away! She provided regular updates and pictures to let us know how everyone was doing. And she very graciously tidied up the house before she left. Our pups can be a handful, especially our puppy Leo who is very energetic and mouthy. But Veronica took it all in stride and was very patient with them. We returned to three very happy pups! We will definitely be booking with Veronica again!

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.

Jeana is fantastic - thoughtful, communicative, and took the absolute best pictures of the girls. I will absolutely be banging down her door to have her watch the doodles again and I cannot recommend her more to watch your dogs and cats as well.

Erica took great care of our dog and two cats for a weekend. She arrived early in the morning on the day we left to make sure they ate on time, and made sure to allow time to feed them and take the dog for a walk before she had to leave for work on the final morning. She was responsive, sent regular updates, and left the house tidy. It was great to have a reliable sitter!

Andrea is a great house/dogsitter. I booked her for the first time last weekend. She was very responsive and we had a very constructive meet and greet, during which she asked many questions and took copious notes. Andrea reached out to me—without prompting—before she arrived the day of her sitting, to confirm she was coming and what time she’d be there, which placed me at ease. During her stay, Andrea gave me appropriate status checks, including when she left. She left the house in great shape. I would definitely recommend Andrea for house sitting and intend to use her again soon.

Ray was wonderful with our dog and took great care of both her and our home. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we received thoughtful updates, honest notes about how things were going, and clear follow-ups at the end. Our dog can be a little hesitant in bad weather and new situations, and Ray was patient, attentive, and proactive in giving her plenty of opportunities, encouragement, and affection. It was clear she was comfortable, well-exercised, and genuinely cared for. Ray also went above and beyond making sure everything was clean and handled before leaving. We came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house, which is exactly what you hope for. We’d absolutely trust Ray again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

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!

She has a lot of experience with pets and cats of her own which put me at ease as well. She sent plenty of photos and a video a they clearly enjoyed playing with her.

Highly, highly recommend Jordan. I have two active hounds, each benefiting from different activities to keep them happy. One thrives on fast walks/ jogs and the other prefers getting in his sniffs and watching crowds. Jordan is wonderful with both of them, intuiting exactly what they need. He has stayed overnight with them on three separate occasions and each time I came home to happy, relaxed pups (and very conscientious care of my home).

Jeana takes such great care of our pups! We have 3 dogs who range in age from a puppy to a senior, who each have their own quirky personalities, and who collectively can be a bit of a handful. Jeana is attentive to their unique needs and is thoughtful in the care she provides. She is reliable; shares regular updates and great photos; and leaves the house tidy. We know our pups are safe and happy when with Jeana. We can't say enough good things about her!

I couldn’t have asked for a better house and pet sitter. She took excellent care of both Q and C and treated my home with real respect. She communicated with me every day, so I always knew how they were doing and never had to wonder what was going on. That daily check-in made a huge difference while I was away. Q and C were clearly comfortable with her. She followed their routines, gave them plenty of attention, and handled everything calmly and professionally. I came home to happy pets and a house that felt looked after, not just “watched.” I would hire her again without hesitation and would recommend her to anyone who needs someone they can actually trust with their animals and their home.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 9,889 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
  • 95% 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.
