“Bethanie took great care of my 4 year old cavapoo Lucy on a 4 day housesit! She sent updates and pictures each day (including of my girl snuggled up in bed with her), reassuring me that Lucy was doing well. She was flexible with my schedule and asks and my home looked just like it did when I left! Thanks Bethanie 🖤”

She’s super communicative, clearly loves animals, and sent us lots of updates to ease our separation anxiety. We’re so glad to have found her and will be booking again!!”
“Colette is a loving, proactive and communicative star! Who better to look after your four legged children than someone who does it full time. Colette is knowledgeable and provided regular updates on our little ones. I knew they were in excellent hands and care with wonderful Colette.”

About: Hi! I’m Paige, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 14 years. Caring for pets isn’t just my job—it’s something I genuinely love. I’m currently a professional dog groomer and have also managed boarding facilities, worked in a veterinary office, and completed basic obedience training. Those experiences have taught me how to safely handle dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels while recognizing when they may need a little extra patience or attention. At home, your pet will have a safe, fun environment with a fully fenced yard for playtime, plenty of toys, fresh water, treats (with your approval), and lots of love and attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. Whether they love to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Scheduling, I just ask for two days notice if needed on the weekends or if I am needed for overnight stays/check ins. Thank you in advance! I have a fenced in yard at my home and two of my own dogs to keep your fur babies company if they enjoy playmates, if we are at your home I just need the information for care!
“Samantha was very professional and responsive. She was quick to suggest a get-acquainted visit, so I was able to meet her and feel good about booking with her a couple of weeks before our trip. The day before the booking, she messaged me to confirm the time she would come the next day. As soon as she got in the house to take care of our dog, she texted a photo of him and assured us that he was doing well. She was great at communicating with us and sending pics of our pup. When we returned, the house was in great shape and our dog was calm and happy. We'll call her again!”
About: Hello, it’s nice to meet you! My name is Caroline, and I've been a HUGE dog lover since I was little. I currently own a labrador puppy, who is now 8 months old. I have experience when it comes to taking care of dogs due to owning two of them in the past, before passing away due to older age. I love to meet new dogs and play with them. I am responsible, caring, patient, playful and very loving towards dogs. I can walk your pet(s), feed them, play with them, and do overnights if needed. You can count on me to take excellent care of your furry baby!
“Lexi is amazing!! She took excellent care of our two dogs while we were away for an entire week. Lexi is kind and considerate and left our house pristine and well cared for. She went above and beyond with not only dog care, but taking care of our home. She sent us daily updates and cute pictures of our dogs. We will definitely have her stay again!”
“Mya took great care of my dog and cat. She sent me frequent updates on their behaviors and sent pictures along with them. She took great care of my home and respected my space. She was very communicative and I will definitely be rebooking with her when the time comes. Thank you Mya!”
About: I’ve had a dog for quite some time and I take care of her with my whole heart! She’s older now so I’m good with older & younger dogs! I’m currently not working so I have open availability and can work with basically anything! Let me know how I can help you and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I absolutely adore animals and I will always meet them where they are! They come first and I will put my full effort into taking care of them and developing a healthy and trusting relationship with them!
About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16. My family got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I now as an independent adult have 2 dogs who I’ve had the pleasure of raising as puppies to where they are at now. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.
“Emily is a SuperHero! She accepted our last minute booking to care for our highly anxious rescue pup overnight. Chloe bonded with her quickly (a miracle in itself) and spent the next full day on great walks and much back yard play time with a ball. We are literally amazed as Emily is the first non family member that Chloe allowed into her trust circle.”
About: With 17 years of experience in pet care, I bring a wealth of knowledge and genuine passion for animals. My experience spans across various stages of a pet's life, from training puppies to providing specialized care for senior pets. This broad range of expertise allows me to cater to the specific needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the best care possible. My proficiency in senior care means I understand the extra attention and gentleness older pets require, while my current experience with a puppy highlights my ability to handle high energy and training needs. My commitment to their well-being and personalized care sets me apart as a reliable and compassionate sitter for both dogs and cats. Whether it's early morning walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening training and cuddles, I ensure that every pet under my care receives the attention and affection they deserve. My experience with my own puppy and my deep understanding of pet needs make me a reliable and dedicated sitter who can provide consistent, loving care amidst a busy schedule. Currently, I care for dogs at my home by providing a structured and nurturing environment. Each day starts with a morning walk to ensure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Throughout the day, I engage them in playtime and training sessions tailored to their individual needs, whether it's reinforcing good behavior in my puppy or offering gentle care for senior dogs. I maintain a consistent feeding schedule and ensure they have access to fresh water at all times. My home is set up to be pet-friendly, with comfortable spaces for them to rest and play safely. By creating a routine that balances physical activity, mental engagement, and relaxation, I ensure that every dog in my care feels happy, healthy, and loved.

Harmony was wonderful! She housesat for our 2 spoiled kitties and we would not hesitate to hire her again. She was incredibly responsible and communicated well with us while we were away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Roseland is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Roseland 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 Roseland 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 Roseland 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Roseland. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
