“I hired Kaylee to sit at my home with my Belgian Malinois with separation anxiety. I appreciate her quick responses thru the Rover App, and her willingness to arrive for an early morning appointment. We will definitely call Kaylee again in the near future.”

“Emily was AMAZING with my 3 pets. We have two huge dogs (mastiffs) and a skittish cat and she handled taking care of them perfectly. Our cat runs away and hisses at any strangers, but she warmed right up to Emily. My dogs also love her since she gave them so much affection and attention. She kept us updated throughout our trip, and she also cleaned our house and left it looking better than before we left for our trip. Emily rocks!”

“Cassidy was very sweet, caring and patient with my senior beagle. She was patient and followed all instructions. She communicated regularly and sent photos and videos. I have already requested another booking with her. I recommend Cassidy for your pet.”

“Kairo is awesome with my pups! They took to her easily. She is very attentive and picks up on each of their personalities to better accommodate their needs. 10 out of 10 would recommend!”

“Anthony was the best! He was incredibly communicative and responsive both before the stay and during. He took great care of our pups and sent photo updates regularly. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Meghan was an amazing sitter from the get-go! She was thorough in her questions about how to care for our energetic wire fox terrier, Caspar. She also provided excellent updates and photos while we were away. Meghan went above and beyond, taking our dog to the park, looking after him when he was ill, and provided him with plenty of attention - which demonstrates the highest level of care and commitment! Meghan's the best and we highly recommend her services. We'd work with her again in a heartbeat, and I know our terrier would love that too! Thank you so much Meghan! ❤️”


“My dog took to Kylie immediately. She makes sure to follow all instructions, takes my pup out on plenty of walks and gives love and affection time. It’s fantastic to have a dog sitter I can not only trust but someone who makes my pup feel as loved as I would while I’m away.”

About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs and have worked as a pet sitter for three different families. During that time, I cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My responsibilities included feeding, providing companionship, administering basic care, and following each family’s specific routines and instructions. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love spending time walking, playing, and giving them the attention they deserve. I always make sure to follow each pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your home and your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. I keep the environment clean, provide fresh water, monitor their well-being, and give them attention. I believe clear communication is essential, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit.

About: Over ten years in caring for fur babies. I will play with, walk, cuddle, and care for your pet just like my own. Working remotely I can give extra time and attention to each pet keeping them content and happy. I’ve completed basic dog obedience training with my own large breed dog. All sizes are welcomed! I currently work as a remote Virtual Assistant with the ability to work around your schedule. Staying in your home enables me to give extra attention and care to your pet. Pets often prefer to be on their own home and I do my best to stick to the daily routine the pet is accustomed to. Keeping a list of activities, feedings, meds, I feel will help lessen anxiety of having owners away.

About: I was a vet assistant for 6 years I have experience with kennel work for a few years which included taking boarders out three times a day for potty breaks feeding and administering meds (price varies for med administering) I would be able to take your dog on walks if you request it (price also varies) if you have any questions please ask. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m free Monday through Sunday to take care of your pups. There may be some times where I go out with my kids or to the store but I’m home most the time. I have nice backyard that they can run around in with my dog if dog friendly. I also have to kids who will give them love and play with them. I can take them for walks if requested. If your dog needs to be crated I can also do that and take them out to the restroom as often as needed. (Crate not provided)
About: Ever since I can remember our dogs and cats have always been apart of my family. From growing up, to having a family of my own, and my now adult children. I have been caring for my daughters 3 dogs and 2 cats for the last 7 years as she and her husband travel for work. Now that they are settled down and home more, I am missing a part of my life that I loved with starting pet sitting as a "job" that will be more of a passion. I am retired, so I am available for daily check ins to all day and overnight stays to keep your furbaby company while you are away. Keeping your furbaby at home is the best option to help reduce stress while you are gone and my favorite way to keep them company and maintain their normal routine in a familiar environment.
“Marissa was great! We had 2 meet and greets to ensure she was a good fit. She was very accommodating to our schedules and it gave us the confidence to leave our Great Pyrenees with someone who would give him good care. She updated us daily with texts and pictures. Took also him on several walks a day. We will definitely call on her again for our future vacations.”

“Thank you Laura!!! Always takes the best care of my sweet boy!! Gunner was still looking for her even after we got home. She is so good he sulks for several days because she is no longer here but he is actually happy we are home. Recommend her highly!!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Sage
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sage on Rover is $77.7 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 1,325 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sage. 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 Sage 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 Sage 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 Sage 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
