“Reagan took care of our critters for 7 days while we were gone on a family vacation. She kept us updated and took wonderful care of them. We will be booking with her again!”
“Maggie is awesome, my old man dog is very easy going but my hyper growing 8 month puppy I was worried about we had never left him with anyone , he loved her she spent time outside with him to make sure he got his energy out sent us pictures morning and night, when I came home my house was exactly how I left it which is hard to do with hairy children so I believe she swept my floor. She is amazing looking forward to using her next time ❤️”
“Andri was lovely to pick up my booking last minute (other sitter cancelled due to illness) and communicated really well. I do wish she'd have been able to spend a bit more time at the house with the animals but understandable since it was a last minute booking. She followed all instructions well and sent several photos as updates. Will book again for sure!”
“I can't say enough good things about Shalisha. From the moment we met, I knew my pets were in great hands. She went above and beyond to ensure my furry family members were well cared for, loved, and happy while I was away. She sent regular updates, including pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pets were relaxed and content when I returned, a true testament to the excellent care they received. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals, I highly recommend Shalisha. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“We felt very comfortable with Tracy at our meet and greet. Our cat, who hides from most people came right up to Tracy immediately. Tracy kept in touch with us regularly and sent pictures while we were away. I've never felt more comfortable and she seemed to know how we felt and did everything right and even left our house looking perfect, took care of plants inside and out and birdfeeders and even offered more help that we hadn't mentioned. Tracy went above and beyond and we will definitely use her again if we ever leave for more than a day. Leaving pets is very difficult but Tracy truly understands and gives your pets everything they need with no complaints and she enjoys being the type of help that's extremely difficult to find. We thank her from the bottom of our hearts! We recommend her wholeheartedly!”
“Lara was very responsive when setting up the visit and agreed to meet ahead of time to go over some of my pups quirks. She kept me updated throughout her stay and Jambo seems very happy and calm when I returned home. I would definitely book Lara again.”
“Bayleigh provided overnight house sitting for our dog and two cats. Our dog has a lot of separation anxiety and it was a real relief to know that Bayleigh was there to quell that. We received photos during her stay and everything went as planned. When we returned home, everyone was happy and safe. Would recommend Bayleigh to others.”
“I want to start off by saying I have been using Rover since 2020. In VA and now SC. The last two years we have had two wonderful sitters we had been using to help us with our pets. Sadly they both moved a little further away and were unable to help us. That’s we on got on the app and found Grace! I loved that she was local and lived in town close by. Especially that she had experience with large dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog/house sitter! She stayed at our home for 10 days while taking care of our two German Shepherds, our cat, and our Yorkipoo, and she did an amazing job. She was responsible, caring, trustworthy, and treated our pets like they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our animals were in such good hands while we were away. She also took great care of our home and kept everything in order. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a house exactly as we left it. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and loving to care for their pets and home. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! ❤️🐾 We are so happy we found Grace.”
“Anna was wonderful. We just moved and needed a short notice sitter. She worked with me on logistics and kept our three dogs healthy and happy for a few days while we were gone. She updated us with pictures every day and kept me posted on how the dogs were doing and behaving. I am so glad that we found a great sitter so soon!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Roughedge is $46 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $53 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 Roughedge 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 Roughedge 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 Roughedge 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
