“Laina was an excellent caretaker for Cooper. Cooper has lots of anxiety and needs lots of patience which Laina was able to provide. She had great communication the whole time and made me feel comfortable Cooper was cared for. As difficult as Cooper can be to handle she was able to do it. I would happily recommend Laina to anyone who wants their dog cared for properly for their specific needs. She even got Cooper to feel comfortable enough to lick her hand which is not like him with new people. Great communication, great care, ten out of ten experience, by far the best I could’ve hired. Thank you so much Laina!”
“Stacy is fantastic! She took such great care of our fur babies and shared updates/photos throughout our trip. She was responsible, responsive, and left our home even cleaner than when we left - a pleasure to work with. We look forward to working with her again the future.”
“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”
“Giuliana was very professional and upfront about questions and requirements. My dogs and home were very well cared for. Giuliana provided regular updates and pictures to keep us connected during the week.”
“Michael took great care of our dog and cat for several days. He was very prompt with responding to messages. He also left our place neat and tidy. I would ask for him to sit again.”
“Ana did an absolutely amazing job! I will use her in the future and I would recommend her to anyone. She gave incredible updates and she totally blew me away with her communication and dedication to my animals.”
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and taken care of them since I was 10. I love all kinds of dogs and would love to work with any kind that is friendly. I currently dogsit for a lovely German shepherd with many allergies. I give him medication as needed and wipe his paws after potty time. I currently go to college M-F with Tuesdays and Thursdays being my longest day. If you need to schedule anything on those days please message me and we may work out a schedule. I do not offer service in my own home due to my own animals, but I would be willing to offer sitting business on the days I am available in the owners home. I care for the animals any way that the owner requests, such as light grooming, walking, playing, and feeding.
“Denisse took care of our senior pup with ease, and was even willing to administer medications and sent lots of pictures so I knew he was safe and sound. It typically takes awhile for our pup to trust new people, but after the first day, he was sleeping in the bed with Denisse 🥰 She is sooo great!”
“Levon is amazing! My boy Melvin is very skittish and inclined to be fearful of new men, but Levon put him at ease right away, and Melvin was licking his face and trying to climb on him within minutes of our first meeting! I’m blown away by how Levon immediately knew exactly how to handle and communicate with Melvin—my guy is definitely a tough case with major anxiety and leash reactivity (which means 62 lbs jerking at your arm when our passing-trigger protocol fails to keep him calm), and Levon is literally the one and only person I feel comfortable handing the leash to as of right now. I was finally able to take a three-day trip without Melvin over Thanksgiving because of Levon—I hadn’t been able to do that since adopting him because he’s such a handful and has some special needs—and I was actually able to enjoy myself without worrying about Melvin! For him it was just a great visit with his buddy who took him for awesome outings to walk and hike, and quality time at the house where he received lots of love and attention. Melvin and I are so grateful to have Levon as our go-to now for when I want to schedule trips, and also as someone who can bring him out on adventures for extra exercise and stimulation!”
“Hannah was an excellent sitter and I recommend her very highly. My two dogs got nice walks and their meds were administered properly. They were clearly happy with her company. She also left the house shipshape and remade the bed with fresh sheets. She kept me updated and was very organized. I couldn't have asked for more.”
“This was the first time we've asked someone to stay in our home while we were away, and Susan was absolutely the perfect choice. She was great with our dog, took excellent care of the house, and even received raving reviews from our next door neighbors. We really look forward to working with Susan in the future!”
“James is a joy. He took great care of the dogs and our home. We came home to a clean and tidy home. He took care of everything we had asked him to do and would highly recommend him again”
“We booked Adaira to stay at our home and care of our two dogs for a 4-night/5-day trip. Everything went very well. Adaira was responsible, a great communicator and easy to trust (she even washed her sheets and towels before she left)! We’ve had a couple of bad experiences in the past with different sitters, so finding someone you can trust and provides peace of mind with your pups is worth every penny. Highly recommended and will book again for future trips!”
“Hayley was amazing with our two big dogs! She cuddled with them, sent us pictures, gave one of them medicine, and just did an all around wonderful job!! On top of everything, our house was well taken care of and she brought in the million packages that showed up at the door. We will definitely be booking her in the future and you should too!”
“Natasha was very patient with our dog while he adjusted to the new person in the house. She provided multiple updates daily, worked with the schedule we had provided her, and even volunteered to stay a little longer on the last day to help keep our boy calm during some thunderstorms that rolled in before we got home; we’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Laura is an amazing pet and house sitter! My pup can have some behaviors nand trouble meeting new people, but he immediately loved Laura and felt comfortable with her. My kitties too are very skiddish, but from photos they seemed to be comfortable with Laura’s presence. Not to mention, I came home to a clean house which enabled me to relax after a busy weekend away. Thank you so much and the fur babies cannot wait to see you again!”
“Morisa is a wonderful pet/house sitter. She is communicative throughout the process from meet & greet to her stay. She asked questions about feeding & individual cat personalities, which I appreciated. I loved the pics she sent & felt relieved knowing she was hanging out with the four felines. She is chill & attentive - perfect combo!”
“I could not have asked for a more caring and loving individual to watch my two darling Shih Tzus when I was away. On the meet and greet, Megan took meticulous notes and it was clear how much she loves animals. While I was away, she sent many notes and photos. Her questions showed me how well-cared for my babies were and I could rest easy knowing that Megan was there. I feel so lucky to have found her! Not only did she take excellent care of Moxie and Tonks, but she left my apartment better than she found it! Amazing!”
“Jamie is an excellent pet and house sitter. She is caring and down to earth, friendly, happy and “gets it.” Left my house sparkling and my animals smiling. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Royal Pines is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Royal Pines
Chloe was amazing from the start. The tell-tale sign of acceptance comes directly from our lab, Cassie. The meet & greet from Cassie determines approval. Cassie welcomed Chloe, a total stranger, from the moment she got out of her car for the meet & greet. Chloe was patient with our senior cat & attentive to his strict feeding schedule. Her attention to detail is commendable. There was not a speck of cat litter around the cat box!) Chloe communicated well, sent pictures often & left the house clean. She rates an A+ with us. We will definitely use her again for our house sitting needs.
This was a last minute booking and we are thankful we were able to make reservations. Axios was great with our pups. He communicated often and ensured we were updated on anything new going on with them. He left the house spotless after a week of being there. We will be booking with him again! Thanks!
Alayna was wonderful! My dog is high energy and playful and Alayna assured me through text all the exercise he was getting. She was incredibly communicative throughout and gave us a summary of her stay at the end, including housekeeping updates. I will absolutely be seeking her services for future travel!
Susan was great! She stepped in last minute despite having a full schedule, and I couldn’t have been more grateful. Over my 3-day trip, she sent thorough end-of-day updates complete with tons of photos and detailed descriptions. I never had a single worry while I was away. She also handled my animals’ various medications without a hitch, which gave me so much peace of mind. All three of my pets were happy and clearly well cared for both in the pictures and when I got home. I would absolutely book with Susan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and communicative pet sitter!
Erica dog and house sat for 2 weeks. Ghillie (a 10yo bird dog) was relaxed and happy when we returned home. She walked him regularly and kept to his usual routine. He got along great with her pup Rigatoni, which is saying something as he is used to being solo dog in the house and can be wary of other large dogs. House was as clean and tidy when we returned as when we left. She brought in all mail and packages.
Amy was fantastic! She took excellent care of our aging french bulldog over Thanksgiving. He required an ER visit on Thanksgiving day and Amy spent the entire day with him never leaving his side. She was very attentive and caring during her stay with him and feel totally comfortable using her again. I highly recommend using her for your pets' care.
Emily was wonderful to have in my home taking care of my old dog. She was attentive to all my instruction and I could tell my dog was happy with each check-in. The pictures sent were fun and my home was well taken care of when I returned. I will definitely be having Emily back to help when needed.
We were so lucky to have Thomas take care of our dogs and cat while we were away. He is definitely a 10 out of 10 for us. He was name to give our cat eye ointment and syringe-fed medicine, to patiently working with one of our more challenging pups, behavioral wise. His sensitivity to animal behavior and calm, attentive approach really stood out. Thomas was also incredibly communicative, sending frequent updates and plenty of pictures that gave us total peace of mind. He was flexible, reliable, and exceeded our expectations in every way. We couldn’t recommend him more highly — our pets adored him, and so did we!
Heather is a great pet and home sitter! She really attached herself to our aging frenchie and was able to deal with all of his medications as well as care and love for an older dog. She bent over backwards to accommodate his and our needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet which typically is really another family member!

FAQs for House Sitting - Royal Pines
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Royal Pines on Rover is $49.95 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 700 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Royal Pines. 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 Royal Pines 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 Royal Pines 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 Royal Pines 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 Royal Pines. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
