Jody was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our 4 dogs and cat with such care and attention to detail. She was reliable, communicated well, and made our first experience with Rover a breeze. We will definitely be booking her services again in the future. Highly recommend Jody for all your pet sitting needs! 5 stars all the way!

Rebecca was hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. From our very first communication through the end of our week away, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly attentive. She gave us complete peace of mind knowing our three babies were genuinely well cared for. We’ll absolutely be rebooking her for our next trip.

I am someone who is very anxious to leave my dogs with other people. I trusted them with Laura and I cannot recommend her enough. She house sat, my dogs were so well taken care of, she is very communicative, sent pictures multiple times a day and gave constant updates. It put me at ease. I will be reaching out to her again in the future for dog care.

So happy we found Zulema! This was our first time leaving out little boy with a sitter and Zulema made all of us feel at ease about it, came for a meet and greet before and the day of sitting went smooth and she kept a great company to our Skip. She is very kind, calm and friendly and we felt Skip was so comfortable around her and coming home to see him just chilled was everything. Hundred percent recommended and we'd definitely reach out again from now on! Big thank you from all of us!:)

About: A lifelong love of animals has led to me learning how best to care for them from a young age. I'll make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable and safe! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, turkeys, and guinea pigs, and I'm willing to work with all animals except arachnids and insects. I wake up at around 8 every day and go to bed around 11, and I can adjust pretty easily if I need to be up earlier or later. I can mold my schedule to another routine very easily (and enjoy doing so!) and working with animals fills me with so much joy that doing the best job possible is barely a job at all. I'll meet your pet where they're at. If they don't want to be sociable, that's fine! I'll make sure they're fed and have water and they can come to me in their own time. If they want to be attached to the hip from moment one, I love that too.

I was skeptical to use Rover, but I had to make last-minute travel plans and my regular pet sitter was unavailable so I decided to give it a try. I was also afraid that nobody was going to want to take care of my eight dogs (mostly senior and special needs) and one cat. I contacted Amber and described all of my pets and their special needs, and she was up for the challenge. She even shared pictures and stories of her own babies to make me feel more at ease. Leaving six dogs over the age of 12, two special needs Frenchies (one deaf and one paralyzed), and one 17-year-old cat in the care of a stranger was very difficult for me to do. Upon meeting Amber, however, I was quickly put at ease. My animals immediately took to her and I could tell she was a kind, calm, gentle soul, which made leaving them easier. Amber handled all of my babies with extreme care and even read and followed my many, many pages of instructions. When she had questions, she texted or called me just like I asked. She took on the challenge of my paralyzed Frenchie like a pro - and it's not an easy job. She had to express her bladder every several hours, change her diaper, give her baths, carry her around, and give her lots of snuggles! She administered medications to my animals and gave them the various types of different food they eat. I came home to a happy, healthy crew of animals - and a new friend! I'm so happy I chose Amber and that she "chose" us. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again!

About: I currently have three cats and a dog! Im very well rounded in terms of animal care, safety, and enrichment. I am a nursing school student so I can promise you safety is my top priority if your baby needs special care, I can safely administer injectable medications if needed. I am free day or night. I will always work with you to accommodate even the most last minute scheduling. I am currently available reliably Friday-Monday with occasional by request times available on other days. Message me if you are unsure! I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. I follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have worked with Senior and disabled animals so I am able to provide a well rounded range of care. I can also send regular photo and video updates because I know how scary it can be to trust someone in your home with your babies. You will never be left wondering under my care. For cats- Having 3 of my own, I totally understand that every cat has a different personality! Whether your cat is social and loves attention or prefers space and a calm environment, I take the time to earn their trust and keep their routine consistent. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

There aren't enough wonderful things to say about Edith and my experience with her when she recently took care of my two dogs and my house for five days. From the minute I reached out to her she responded almost immediately and made me feel that she was open to help in any way. She was punctual for our 'meet and greets', and my dogs loved her the minute she came through the door. While I was out of town I was totally comfortable knowing that my dogs and everything they needed was taken care of. Edith is extremely knowledgeable about animals. Since one of my dogs is a senior, she needs extra care with meds and slower walks. Edith handled her with so much tenderness and understanding. I knew that my home and dogs were in the best hands with Edith. I cannot recommend her enough! She is exceptional. Thank you, Edith!

Charlotte is amazing! Our Luna is very routine-oriented and very cautious around people. We had never used a pet sitter before and we weren’t sure how quickly Luna would warm up, but Charlotte’s calm demeanor and patience is just what Luna needed to earn her trust. Charlotte was very good at providing daily updates and reaching out when needed. She also went above and beyond when some tree branches fell on our fence during a storm. Charlotte and Luna are now friends for life!

Kathy was a dream come true. I have two cats. A young and feisty female and an elderly male cat (18 years old). She took care of them like a rock star getting them both to warm up to her in the 7 days we were away. She spent time with them and nurtured them like I would. The older cat is in diapers and she handled that like a charm. When we got home our house was in order and very clean. She brought in the mail and put out the trash and generally treated our home as if it was hers. I highly recommend Kathy and will definitely use her again.

I was very nervous about going on vacation for five days leaving my animals, but I found Abigail on Rover and she was absolutely amazing. I’ve told my friends about her. She took very good care of my animals. I would definitely recommend her. She gave me detailed information and updates on my babies. Thank you Abigail. You are the best.

As first-time Rover users, we were initially nervous, but Taryn immediately set our minds at ease. She warmly suggested a meet-and-greet to ensure it was a good fit for us and our pets. While we were away, Taryn was excellent with communication, checking in upon arrival and sending regular photos and updates. Coming home was a delight; our house was spotless, our dogs were happy, fed, and well-exercised, and Taryn had even thoughtfully started a load of household linens in the wash. We have no doubt our animals adored her and received the very best care. We will absolutely be asking Taryn to return!

FAQs for House Sitting - Russell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Russell on Rover is $73.26 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 1,890 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Russell. 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 Russell 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 Russell 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 Russell 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 Russell. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
