“This app is easy to use and found us a great sitter for our Pittie girl! Miranda did in-home sitting for us. Our pup has separation anxiety and hates to be left alone. Miranda was communicative and our pup loved hanging with her for the night. Thanks, Miranda!”
“Michaela did such a great job watching our dog. She was very pleasant and professional. I will definitely use her again next time we go on vacation. I will also recommend her to anybody need somebody to watch there dog.”
“Christine was great watching our dog, Ozzy! Ozzy can have stranger danger and Christine did a great job managing this. He was so well taken care of and so was our apartment. I highly recommend Christine.”
“This is the second time that we’ve used Erin to house sit our dog Rocky. Erin is awesome!!! She responds right away and always keeps us updated on her visits. Erin is now our go-to dog sitter. We will definitely be using her in the future. I highly recommend Erin for all of your dog sitting needs.”
“She was great with our pups. One fairly energetic, but in need of calm because he was recovering from knee surgery, and the other a 17 year old diva who is mostly blind and mostly deaf. Will definitely book again.”
“We will continue to book Ethan again and again. He took the best care of our large dog, checked in each day, and left the house in better shape than he found it. Super professional, kind, and our dog just loved him. Highly recommend.”
“David makes our dogs feel safe and loved. They run to him as soon as they see him. He followed all our specific instructions and was very conscientious. He snuggled with them and played with them. We really appreciated how positive he was about staying with Belle and Rory. We would definitely use David again!”
“Brad was really great with our dog Mooney! He gave daily updates and communicated very efficiently. We felt at ease knowing Brad was taking care of Mooney. Would highly recommend!”
“Ava was great with our little dog. She always came to give her food and take her out for a walk. She changed her pad and picked up her poop. She took out the trash. Super recommended. I would use her services again.”
“Calli was great and did everything as instructed, she was our first experience with Rover and did great with our two dogs and cat. It was great to enjoy vacation without worrying about our pets with Calli there watching them.”
“Cristel took amazing care of our elderly pup and cat while we were out of town. She checked in regularly and went above and beyond to make sure all of their needs were met. She also left our home spotless while she was house sitting! Cristel is everything we have been looking for in a reliable pet sitter and we are looking forward to working with her again!”
“Trista came and helped out with a last minute request to watch my 3 Pom’s (including one with pretty bad separation anxiety 😬) while I was at a wedding. She was very responsive, on time, and flexible! If I’m ever in the area, I will definitely reach out again if I need a sitter! 😊”
About: My family and I have been taking care of dogs on and off for 15 years. Our dog has had two litters totaling 23 (Creampuff Labradoodle is the breeder) which we have hosted in our home as they grew up. They now live with their forever homes. We love nature, being outdoors, and all things animal related! We host play dates at our home often and our pup enjoys the company. Things to note: we are a busy household and have three children. We are in and out throughout the day but never for long periods of time when watching pups. Visiting dogs must be comfortable around my dog and children. I will always do a meet and greet before taking a dog in. Must know basic training skills and be clean upon arrival, and be house trained. Things to bring for day care/boarding: Bed, water and food bowls, crate. If a crate is not an option then we can use our gated corral. They are able to have free rein over house, I am fine with that but as a safety precaution or for use when we leave I prefer to have an option to contain the pups. I have toys, towels, and treats. If any signs of aggression are shown or excessive behaviors I will ask if I can gently train your dog with a sound device. I have used this on my own dog and it works great as a non invasive tool if unpredictable circumstances arise. Our back yard is fenced and we take extra care at our front door and can block the foyer with an extra gate for safety. I own a photography business so I make my own schedule. If I am away from the house, it is not for long at all and I do all my editing from my home office. I am flexible and accommodating to various needs. I have a fully fenced back yard. We have a gate for leaving uncreated dogs in if we run out for a bit. It can block off the foyer area or be set up by the deck door for views of the yard.
“Breanna is a fantastic pet sitter! She watched Sophia and Valentina over the weekend and exceeded all my expectations. She was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated the whole time. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my girls were in such loving hands. Thank you, Breanna!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. When I was 11 I had my own dog that I took care of and eventually once I was able to drive I payed and did everything for her (she was my age). I’ve taken care of family members dogs as well. I’m currently working at a doggy boarding and daycare facility. My job is to make sure the dogs are safe, happy and healthy. We take them out to the yard and bring them in for playtime. We learn dog body language and how to deal with their body language. I currently do not have my own dog but I do work at a boarding daycare facility. If you dog needs to be crated I can easily get them in there. The facility has very high fences for when the dogs go outside. Some dogs we do have to keep on a leash outside so they do not run away. I also play with the dogs and give them lots of love. The same can be done in a clients home as well. I will do whatever is needed for the dog I am watching.
“Ceecee was amazing! She was able to accommodate us extremely last minute to home sit our senior dog. She took great care of our dog and was able to keep up with all his medications. Our apartment was in phenomenal condition when we returned. We will not hesitate to book Ceecee again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Roxbury Township is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Roxbury Township
Ava was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Lola! She kept communication open throughout our time away and provided frequent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She treated Lola like she was her own, making sure she was well cared for, exercised, and loved. We felt completely comfortable leaving both our home and our pup in Ava's care. We will definitely be booking with her again for future vacations or anytime we need to be away. We highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!
Christine was beyond amazing!!! We attended our son's wedding weekend and did not want to leave our 14 year old dog alone as she gets anxious. Christine readily accommodated our split shifts needs and was very much liked by all of our family staying at the hotel. The true testament to her goodness and her love of pets is when she came to our hotel our dog got so excited, wagged her tail non- stop and jumped with excitement after meeting with her for the third time. Our dog treated Christine like she was family and that is the type of person she is. Christine made us very comfortable and our dog even more. I will highly recommend and will ask Christine again to stqy with our dog. Christine is AWESOME!!!!
Ray was outstanding. He was super nice and professional, he took amazing care of our sweet dog, he sent us lots of pics and videos while we were gone which gave us a lot of comfort knowing our dog was being well cared for. He left our home in immaculate condition and was great with communication during the whole house sit. We hope to get to leverage his services again in the future. Highly recommend!!
I highly recommend Alexyss! I am so glad I was able to find a sitter who loves my dog as much as I do. She has great experience , especially with bully breeds which left me at ease when going away! She is kind and attentive, and overall just loves animals! I am so grateful to have found her as a sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Roxbury Township
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Roxbury Township on Rover is $111 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 5,806 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Roxbury Township. 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 Roxbury Township 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 Roxbury Township 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 Roxbury Township 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.
