Trust. I have implicit trust that Haley will do what she needs to do to care for and protect my dogs and home. It's hard to find good reliable individuals these days. I look forward to continuing to utilize her professional services.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia. I’m a 25 year old Pharmacy Technician currently going to school for Psychology. I love pets of all kinds and I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles, and amphibians for my whole life! I love animals so much the only thing stopping me from becoming a Vet is having to put them down. I personally have two cats Mischief and Diva that get along very well with other cats. If my cats are a problem, they can easily be put away while your pets are at my home! I’m a very friendly, outgoing, and passionate person just looking for some pets to love, cuddle, and walk in my free time for some extra cash. They say if you love your job you’ll never work a day in your life! I work part-time at CVS Pharmacy located 10 minutes from my house. My hours of availability are: Monday: 5AM-7AM & 6PM-7PM Tuesday/Thursday: 5AM-7AM Wednesday/Friday: 5AM-8AM & 3PM-7PM Saturday/Sunday: All day For those requiring a boarding service, please note that I will not be available to tend to your pet **during the day outside of the specified hours above. I do have a Cat Cam for close monitoring while away. **Pets will continue to be tended to during the evening hours past 7pm. The environment contains a Cat Cam for close monitoring while away, 7ft cat tree, an automated litter box, free feeding kibble, filtered water fountain, many interactive toys, a window mounted bird feeder for some live CatTV, as well as some cat grass and lemonbalm plants to nibble on. I hope to make every experience the most enjoyable experience for both you and your furry friend(s)! My apartment features a sizable grassy courtyard for pets who like to spend some time outdoors, trips outside will always be closely monitored.

Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.

Ranae was an amazing sitter for our cat Andy. She was quick to communicate with us and shared a lot of great photos. She was very attentive to Andy's needs (he's very interactive, more like a dog), as we could tell by his relaxed behavior when we returned home. Ranae also too great care of our home leaving it just as we had. I would highly recommend Ranae.

What an excellent experience! Gaby was fantastic! She sent us text messages and photos every day with updates on how our pups were doing. She also was taking them on walks every day (when it wasn't raining...and sadly it was a pretty rainy week) and took pictures of them out on their adventures! Our house was well taken care of and she was very easy to communicate with during the stay. If she had any questions, she sent messages and was very thankful for the information. Will gladly have Gaby stay with our pack again!

Audrey watched our two pups for us while we went on a Caribbean cruise. Unfortunately one of our pups got sick and had a serious runny poo issue! He got it all over the house. Audrey did the best she could to get it out of the carpet and even bathed our pup multiple times! When he wasn't getting any better, she even took him to the vet to get him all checked out and get him medicine. It was a tough week at our house, but she handled it very well.

About: I work 8-4:30pm Monday through Friday, I can do before work and after work depending on the time and area pretty much always available on weekends feel free to reach out 😃. I have been around animals my whole life. As a child we had three American Bull dogs. I have taken care of animals for friends when they were out of town until they return home. I personally have a dog named Simba, he’s very loving and loves attention. We go on walks and play fetch, he gets spoiled with toys weekly. Pet care fits into my schedule because I can drop in before and after work. Weekends I’m free all through out the day so plenty of time for extra attention! I work from home three days out of the week Monday - Friday and go in twice a week. I follow all owner rules and like to send pictures and videos of their happy fur babies. I care for Simba by taking him potty regularly making sure he has plenty of food and water. We go for walks when the weather lets us.

Gemma was just a GEM! Our pup usually gets so depressed when we leave but she spent time with him, took him on walks and just snuggled him! She kept us posted daily on how he was doing and he was so happy! And he takes meds with a high maintenance food routine but she handled it all like a champ! Highly recommend her and we will use her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rosewood Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Rosewood Heights on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,406 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rosewood Heights. 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 Rosewood Heights 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 Rosewood Heights 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 Rosewood Heights 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 Rosewood Heights. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
