“Cayley was absolutely great my dog can be a bit feisty and very cautious of people not Mr. Friendly but my Oliver liked Cayley and that's saying something. Cayley left the house as I left it neat and tidy, I loved receiving the daily multiple photos always reaures you when you can see your animal when you're away. Highly recommend Cayley and will use her again.”
“Aunya was fantastic. She made sure all four dogs were well taken care and even cleaned up as she left the house. She was very responsive and provided check-ins. I would definitely let her take care of my wild pack any time!”

“Meghan was great! She housesat for us for a few days and did a great job taking care of our three dogs. They can be quite a handful and also require some medication daily. She did a great job communicating and sent plenty of updates. She took great care of our home as well! We will definitely use Meghan again!”
“Danielle took exceptional care of our pets while we were away for a week. She gave me daily updates with pictures which was very reassuring since it was the first time we left them with someone other than family. She went above and beyond by taking out the trash and washing and remaking the bed she slept in and even left a toy for each of the pets! We will continue to hire her whenever we need pet care.”
“Amy was excellent! She sent pictures and updates to let us know how Bronx was doing. Definitely recommend Amy for your upcoming needs, she was absolutely amazing! We will definitely be contacting her for all upcoming needs, highly recommended!!!!!!”
“Bobby did a great job watching our two dogs! He was a great communicator, very responsible, and sent updates and pictures of the pups every time he came to let them out or feed them. He was great with our large dogs, and you can tell the dogs loved him too! We have never felt so comfortable leaving the dogs with anyone- Knowing Bobby was taking such great care of them made us feel so at ease when we were away. We are so glad we found Bobby, and will definitely be using him whenever we need a dog sitter in the future. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve kept my grand dogs for years and have stayed overnight for several friends on multiple occasions . I have references that talk and bark 😁 I am retired so my schedule is very flexible. I can stay overnight and am usually available on weekends with advance notice. I love snuggles! I ask for an idea of what their day is like and try to follow it as much as possible. I have kept all ages and don’t mind giving medicine or potty training. I live going on walks also!
“Another great experience! Highly communicative, home was well cared for and we look forward to booking for our third and fourth vacations shortly with Ashley. Don’t look to anyone else to watch your home and animals in the region she covers.”
“Reagan was the best! She is a good communicator, left the house the way she found it and my dog was very happy when we arrived. She also stayed a bit later because our flight was delayed so we didn’t have to worry about our dog being taken care of. I highly recommend Reagan!”
“Debbie did a fantastic job taking care of my 4 dogs over the weekend. She was so personable, was excited to meet each dog, and lived on them like they were her own dogs. Debbie also took care of the house, straightened up prior to our return, and even washed the cloths I had left in the washer. I will definitely request Debbie next time I need a sitter.”
“Megan was incredible in every aspect of taking care of our 1-year old mini schnauzer, Tater Tot. She was so communicative and responsible in every way. She sent so many pictures and videos — it put us at ease! Her dog Murphy was the perfect companion for Tater, so well behaved and played super well with him. They ended up being such great buddies! Could not recommend Megan enough!”
“Madison is AMAZING. She is just a great person who took care of my babies and my home just as I would. We have never left our cats alone overnight but circumstances caused the need to be gone for 8 days - to say I was nervous about how the babies were going to be is an understatement. Madison made sure they were taken care of and sent so many pictures and videos and updated us numerous times to let us know how everyone was doing. This is my first experience using Rover and I'm so happy I did. I love my friends, but no way they would have taken care of cats like Madison did. I feel like I can actually travel now as long as Madison is free to take care of everything for me ❤️”

About: I trained my puppy to be a therapy dog for a year during which he got certified and volunteered in schools, and nursing homes. Ive trained all our pets on potty training and other basic training required. I have grown up with pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, lizards, rodents, and birds. I work during the week from 8-4, and have full availability during the weekend.I intend to give the best care with my free time, this includes daily walks, play time, and cuddle time, if the pet enjoys that. On a professional level I have worked previously at an animal shelter as a vet assistant so I am familiar with basic animal care. As for my personal life, I care for the pets in my home or clients home by walking them at least once a day, taking them outside every 2-3 hours depending on their needs. I also clean their environment, whether that be a cage or a living room and of course feed them. I also like to make sure the pet is happy while in my care, therefore I provide any social or physical activities they enjoy. I care for my clients pets the way I would want someone to care for mine.
“Shelby was amazing with Rio. She was honest and always communicating with me, sending regular pictures and updates. We carved out a routine that worked for both of us and Rio which I appreciate so much. Shelby is super hard working and diligent. And ofcourse very loving! She followed Rio’s snack and meal schedules to the T which also made me worry less while I wasn’t around. On our day of return I was worried about a flight delay but Shelby assured me that even though the booking was getting over, she’d be around to help let Rio out and give him his dinner. This says so much about her sincerity and flexibility, which I was so thankful for. Rio was literally looking for her in the guest room after we came back from our travels, which melted my heart! This tells how well she took care of Rio while we were gone away for 10 days. Thank you Shelby, you’re awesome! Rio misses you. 🫶”

Kimberlina was an absolute gem! I left my three dogs with Kimberlina while I was away, and she took such wonderful care of them. She kept them happy, active, and well-loved the entire time—they were all wagging tails and full of energy when I got home. She sent regular photos and videos throughout the stay, which meant the world to me whenever I was missing them; she always timed them perfectly and responded right away. On top of the great dog care, she went above and beyond by cleaning the house so thoroughly—it smelled fresh and amazing when I returned. Communication was excellent from start to finish, making the whole experience stress-free. Kimberlina is professional, caring, and truly reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much, Kimberlina! 🐾

The average cost of House Sitting in Ryland is $63 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $80 per night.

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 Ryland 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 Ryland 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 Ryland 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
