“Stephanie was amazing! This was the first time having her stay with our pups and it couldn’t have gone any better! She was so sweet and loving to Peanut and Ruby! We all can’t wait to see her again!”
“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.”
“Clara house sat and watch our labradoodle for 5 days and did a fantastic job! Walter was happy and healthy when we arrived home and the house was in excellent condition. Several of our dog-loving neighbors got to know Clara and really liked them. We highly recommend Clara and have absolutely no reservations in hiring them again! :-)”
“We are so happy we found Sue! We always take our dogs on trips with us, so it was super hard to leave them for the first time with someone, but Sue made us feel very comfortable. She stayed at our home, ensured our girls stayed on their routine with their daily walks and meals, and sent cute photos/updates so I knew they were happy. Sue also went above and beyond by washing the sheets/making the bed she slept in, getting our mail, watering our flowers, and kept our house nice and clean for us to come home to. I feel relieved to have found a dog sitter my dogs were so comfortable with. We will definitely be using her again! Thank you!!”
“Carley was amazing! I highly recommend her! She was professional, on time, and checked in on my dogs multiple times a day. Carley checked in with me multiple times a day and sent me multiple photos. I felt very comfortable knowing she was taking such good care of my boys. I will definitely book her again!”
“Timia was great to our pups while we were away! She was a joy to get to meet beforehand. She took her time letting the dogs get to know her. Dogs seemed to have a great time with her here, and we came home to two well cared for pups. Thanks Timia for easing our minds while we were away, and loving on them extra well. If schedules align, we will definitely have Timia back!”
“Katherine has been a phenomenal sitter for my senior dogs. She has been very attentive and has sent me adorable pictures and videos. I was very nervous leaving them for 8 days but Katherine has honestly gone above and beyond my expectations!!! I would highly recommend and I hope to use her again in the near future.”
“Sally was amazing! My pups did so well with her and she sent pictures of their days, every day, which I love. I think my house may have been cleaner when I got home as well. You would've never known I had a house guest for a few days. I will definitely re-book and recommend her to anyone!”
“Charlotte was the biggest blessing to us! In the toughest week with no power she showed up and loved our fur babies - showering them with treats and love and suggested an amazing supplement that is already helping our old girl move easier. Despite the lack of electricity she went above and beyond. A million times YES to this angel!!”
“Chloe went above and beyond with her care of our sweet girl and home in our absence! While we missed our pup, we were in complete ease with the thoughtful and fun updates from Chloe that made our time away even more enjoyable! While taking such great care of pup, she also took such great care in keeping our home fresh for our return! We will absolutely ask Chloe for her services again soon!”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals, but don’t have the schedule flexibility to have my own full time. By providing services for folks who also don’t I get to care for animals and help people. It’s the best of both worlds I work from home two days a week where I am flexible to help out with daily needs and most weekends I stay around the area and am opening to offering my home and help to those that travel and need someone to look after their four legged family members I do not have a crate. If one is required please provide it for overnight stays. Otherwise I’m happy to get up and stroll so your pets can get the exercise they need throughout the days
“John took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs befriended him straight away and he was always quick to respond. Thank you John, we will definitely reach out in the future when we need a dog sitter!”
“Jeffrey is wonderful! He is very attentive to my dogs. I think they may love him more than me now! Even my standoffish dog warmed up to him quickly. He sends pictures and updates daily, and even put my garbage out without being asked! I highly recommend Jeffrey for your pet sitting needs!”
“Ken was so great with our dogs, he played with them and love them like they were his own dogs, it was really awesome to have him take care of them for us, he's a really nice guy and very down to earth and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve cared for everything from Chihuahuas to English Mastiffs! We’ve trained them as puppies and cared for them to their last days. They are family. I’m currently working as a part time substitute in Lexington 1. I make my own schedule during the school year. I love teaching special education. I have a large fenced yard. We divided it up into two sides. We also have a huge dog house with air conditioning and beds.
“Kat house and dog sat (2 big and loud, but lazy dogs) for us for a week and was an absolute amazing sitter. She took great care of our house, and dogs, and went above and beyond without prompting. Anyone would be lucky to have Kat take care of their buddies! We will definitely use her again!”
About: Over the past 15 years, I have had experience in a wide variety of breeds, temperaments and energy levels. I approach each pet uniquely, considering specific routines, quirks and comfort zones. I’m observant of their body language and attuned to signs of discomfort, anxiety, feeling safe or calm. I am comfortable caring for them at home or on a walk. I have experience giving animals medication’s and adhering to strict diets. I am happy to send you photos & videos as well as check in’s on how your fur baby is doing. I’d love to give my full attention to your pet—they deserve it! Right now I’m able to fit daily or weekly routine and I’m available at any time right now. I’m available most times of the day. I am able to take your dog for walks or take care of them at your home where they are comfortable. And play with them in your backyard.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Saint Andrews is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Andrews
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.
John was a last minute sitter and I couldn’t be more appreciative of him stepping in at the 11th hour or happier with his care of my pups. These two cuddle bugs can be intimidating if you aren’t used to triple digits and my sweet young male is often a bit wary of new people at first. Don’tworry, he warms up in about 30 seconds. John was unbothered. Within a couple of hours i was getting pics of the puppy pile on the couch. Communicative, caring, and tremendously flexible, i can’t recommend john enough.
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.
We are so happy we found Sue! We always take our dogs on trips with us, so it was super hard to leave them for the first time with someone, but Sue made us feel very comfortable. She stayed at our home, ensured our girls stayed on their routine with their daily walks and meals, and sent cute photos/updates so I knew they were happy. Sue also went above and beyond by washing the sheets/making the bed she slept in, getting our mail, watering our flowers, and kept our house nice and clean for us to come home to. I feel relieved to have found a dog sitter my dogs were so comfortable with. We will definitely be using her again! Thank you!!
Michael and Tracy are absolutely wonderful! They watched our two pups while we went to a family wedding and we didn't worry once. We were able to enjoy our time and knew our pups were in great hands. The updates and pictures we received while we were away showed us how comfortable our dogs were with both Tracy and Michael. Plus Tracy made sure to keep track of our pup's medicine schedule, which was a cherry on top to making us feel as ease. We can't recommend them enough! Thanks so much Michael and Tracy!
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!
Maggie did house sitting for us for one elderly dog and one puppy. Really helpful to have Maggie’s expertise from all her experience working with dogs since our young puppy started getting sick. She provided documentation we could take to the vet and gave us insight that helped us stay calm til we could get back home. She stayed in touch in general which we appreciated since we were nervous doing our first weekend away using a dog sitter
Charlotte was outstanding! I sent multiple requests. Charlotte responded almost immediately. The introduction was scheduled and went smoothly. Charlotte was very helpful additionally by offering hotel and dining options. Charlotte and my dog Kiki really hit it off well. I felt comfortable leaving Kiki with Charlotte. I was more than pleased with Charlotte. I would book with her again, and highly recommend Charlotte.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Andrews
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Andrews on Rover is $43.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 605 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 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 Saint Andrews. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
