Rebecca was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of our three dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos and messages, which meant a lot to us. She was friendly, professional, trustworthy, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were her own. It was obvious they were well cared for and getting lots of attention while we were gone. She even went above and beyond by keeping the floors vacuumed. We have a German Shepherd who is shedding quite a bit right now, and we came home to a house that wasn’t covered in dog hair, which was such a pleasant surprise. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using Rebecca again in the future. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about Sahara! This was the very first time I left my dogs with someone outside of my immediate family, so I was naturally nervous. From the moment I left for vacation, she made me and my fur babies feel completely at ease. She was caring, reliable, attentive, and treated my dogs like they were her own. Thank you!!!!!!

About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience in both breeding and caring for them, so I am comfortable with everything from feeding and walking to basic training and daily care. I know that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I love helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether you have a playful pup or a senior dog who needs a little more patience and attention, I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets attention are things I genuinely look forward to. I will make it my priority to provide for every need of your pet! In my household, I am used to feeding my pups and their puppies, walking them, playing with them, and even doing small grooming, such as brushing and clipping their toenails.

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.

We can’t say enough good things about Charlotte! She watched our dog Ollie while we were out of town for a few days and we have never felt more comfortable leaving him with anyone else. Charlotte sent pictures and updates each day and was easy to communicate with. We could tell Ollie felt very comfortable with her and it made our trip that much better knowing he was well taken care of. On top of that, she took such good care of our home and left everything better than she found it. We already have her booked again for our next trip!

About: I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I focus on providing dependable, loving, attentive care while keeping pets relaxed and comfortable in their own environment. What sets me apart is my flexible availability, calm personality, and genuine love for animals. I’m patient with shy pets, attentive to routines and special instructions, and I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals rather than just “checking in.” I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets, senior pets, and pets who may need extra attention, slower walks, medications, or a little extra reassurance while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel connected and at ease while traveling. My youngest child has gone off to college, and I’ve lovingly cared for neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ fur babies for years. That’s my grand-fur-baby English Cream Golden in the photo 🥰 I have a very flexible schedule and open availability, so your pets will get lots of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, evenings, overnights, and holidays. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family and always try to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. For overnight stays in a client’s home, I aim to provide a calm, comforting presence so pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets, senior pets, and administering basic medications if needed. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

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.
