I couldn't be happier with the care my dogs received from Ian. They absolutely love him! He went above and beyond, taking them on walks and spending quality time with them throughout the day. 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!

Marie was such a great dog sitter for our two senior pups! She gave us updates on their day, photos, and I can tell that the dogs had a wonderful time. They went on many adventurous walks. She also took great care of the house while staying. She was communicative whenever she had questions. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a dog sitter.

Kari took care of our dog and our elderly cat while we went away for the weekend. She was great. It was easy to work with her. She took great care of our pets and kept us updated with photos. She was great about setting up her arrival and departure times and we came home to a clean, tidy house. We would recommend her highly and we would love to have her come and stay with our pets again.

This visit showed us just how responsible and caring Katie is (we already knew this of course, but this visit made it even more impressed). Katie is ALWAYS consistent with her communication and photos, is super flexible with scheduling and overall just a wonderful sitter. We love Katie and will absolutely use her again !!! :)

About: Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets as both an owner and sitter. I’ve worked with dogs and cats. Along the way, I’ve developed special skills like administering medications, handling pets with specific dietary requirements, and providing comfort to those with anxiety or medical conditions. Whether it’s a playful walk, quiet cuddle, or ensuring they stick to their routine, I’m committed to creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel happy, healthy, and well cared for! As a newly separated veteran preparing to start school, I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule to dedicate to caring for pets. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their routines and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I provide personalized attention, including feeding, walking, administering medications if needed, and plenty of playtime and affection. I also keep the home tidy and secure, treating it with the same care and respect as I do the pets.

Shennan was easy to work with, professional, prompt and responsive. We did two meet and greets before my weekend away because I am always nervous when my little anxious Archie is with someone new. Archie took to her right away and looked happy and healthy when I got back home...and my house was as I left it. I wouldn't hesitate to book Shennan again when she is home from school.

We are so grateful for the wonderful care Sydney gave our dogs. The dogs were very nervous while we were gone and unfortunately had diarrhea and several accidents during their stay. Sydney kept us updated with messages and photos, was incredibly patient, and handled everything with such kindness and professionalism. She even went out to buy extra cleaning supplies and washed everything that needed it. We truly appreciated all of the extra effort she put in and how well she cared for our pups despite the unexpected challenges. We would book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and compassionate sitter. Thank you so much!

We were lucky to find Gabriela after our original Rover sitter canceled soon before our vacation. Gabby stayed in our house and took great care of our three pets. Our old dog had gastrointestinal problems resulting in indoor accidents, and Gabby handled it efficiently and went above and beyond with the cleaning. We are very grateful she paid attention, did what needed to be done, and acted professionally throughout. 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 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.
