“My dog loved Alex, and my cat even warmed up to her. She was great- very flexible & accommodating. She took my dog on lots of walks and left my apartment cleaner than it was when I left. Definitely recommend & plan to book again.”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have two cats. In college I worked on a farm and cared for cattle, chickens, goats, pigs, and alpaca. I am currently a zoo keeper and have been in the field for three years. I have cared for reptiles, small mammals, some birds, and larger hoof stock. I have experience giving medications, preparing special diets, training, and observing animal health/behavior. I have worked with young and senior animals. My weekends are Tuesday and Wednesday, so anytime of day I am free. On days that I work I am able to care for your pets before or after. If needed I can also check on your pets during lunch. I am great at following instructions. When going into your home or staying the night I will provide the best care I can. I will make sure to respect your home and your pets!
“Alina was wonderful! She communicated with us regularly throughout the week, asked thoughtful questions when needed, and made sure everything was taken care of for both our dogs and our home. She was friendly, reliable, and our dogs absolutely loved her. We were so grateful for her care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Heather is an amazing sitter. She really cares for the animals she watches, gives daily updates and photos, and goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are happy and healthy while we are gone.”
“Anna is a loving caring pet sitter that we got lucky to find on Rover. Highly recommend her as my cat is very shy and fearful but she got comfortable and trusted her immediately.”
“I highly recommend and will definitely use Cody again. He was very attentive and thorough with all of my request. If he was uncertain about anything, he would always check in for clarification. It gave me much needed peace of mind knowing Kylie was being taken care of by someone who really cared. This was the first time we’ve ever had someone in our home and I was completely comfortable with Cody being there while we were away. Thank you, Cody.!!!”
“Leanissa is hands down the best dog sitter! She stayed at my home for 2 weeks to take care of Kingston and did an incredible job. She followed all care instructions, treated my home with immense respect, and went above and beyond to keep everything clean. She is now my top choice for pet sitting, and I can't wait to book her again! Kingston and I are so grateful for her!!”
“Chauncey was absolutely amazing! She did an excellent job of communicating and sending us pictures everyday! Our dog has pretty bad separation anxiety so when we got the first picture on the day we left, and saw Teddy actually eating her food!!!…I knew she was in great hands and I didn’t have worry while on vacation! Will definitely be booking her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Andrews
Michael and his wife Tracy are amazing! We were in a real bind this weekend with a planned vacation for me and a family emergency for my husband and they were able to help us out. Plus they take care of our dogs very well, even though our pups can be a bit of a handful! Thanks again Michael and Tracy!!
Sue was the absolute best. She stayed with our two mini dachshunds for a week, and they did so well with her! She communicated often and sent lots of photos! She was incredibly conscientious and worked with all their little quirks with such care and kindness. We will absolutely reach out to her again! Dempsey and Dermot are Sue fans!
I cannot express in words the peace of mind we had while Stephanie watched our service animals for us, in the hotel. It was great being able to go for a bit, out unassisted and search for rental homes, where if we took our service dogs, we risked being discriminated against. She came on short notice and was affordable.So, it was nice to have some human help too, sometimes! Anyways, we will most definitely be booking with her again, so long as she is available! I highly recommend her. She was very professional and was a natural.
Emma took wonderful care of Baloo while I was away! She kept my house clean, sent regular updates and photos, and made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. It was clear that Baloo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated her communication and the care she showed for both my dog and my home. I would absolutely book with Emma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Valarie is the best! She is trustworthy and reliable. I feel so much better knowing that she is staying with our dog Ryder while we are away. She is great about keeping me updated with pictures and messages and always leaves the house neat and clean. She’s the best! I highly recommend her.
Melissa is such a caring sitter, she is professional and respectful and paid very close attention to every detail to ensure Sky's wellness. She consistently communicated with me throughout the 2 weeks she stayed with Sky, which made me feel at ease and was able to truly relax knowing Sky was well taken care of. Melissa is very reliable and left the house in pristine condition, everything clean and even took care of my plants. Thanks so mich, Melissa!
We met with Kelly before our trip. She was VERY good with both of our boys. We were very comfortable with leaving her at our home to take care of them. I would VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kelly. Kelly provided walks, playtime and lots of snuggles which allowed us to enjoy our family reunion. Thank you so much Kelly!!
Thrace is a wonderful sitter. My boys took to her right away at our meet & greet, and were obviously happy campers upon return. She kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay, and her response time is fast, both of which are so appreciated. Thrace was very respectful of our home, as well as the boys’ routine. I won’t hesitate to rebook with her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Saint Andrews is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $84 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 617 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Andrews. 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 Saint Andrews 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 Saint Andrews 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 Saint Andrews 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
