“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!”
“Emily was fantastic to work with. She sent us lots of pictures, and kept us informed of their wellbeing. We felt very comfortable with having her watch our dogs and cats after out initial meeting. We came home and all 5 of our babies were happy, and healthy. Would love to have her watch them in the future.”
“Dominic was responsible and very tidy. She sent a when she was here with the dogs each and left the house neat as a pin when she left. She took great notes on the dogs needs and we felt comfortable with her taking care of the fur babies while we were gone.”
“Morgan was fantastic! This is my first experience with a pet sitter and I am beyond impressed! My dogs absolutely love Morgan. She was so attentive to their individual needs and sent multiple text updates, pictures and video. I was totally at ease while away from home. Morgan went above and beyond with my boys and even took care of laundry and cleaning. My home was actually in better condition than when I left. I cannot recommend Morgan enough and I will absolutely use her in the future. Give her a try! I guarantee that you will be beyond impressed!”
“Chloe gave us the peace of mind to have a worry free vacation out of town and I cannot thank her enough!! She was so sweet with our babies, and was thoughtful and attentive. I would highly recommend Chloe as a pet sitter/house sitter! Thanks again !! ☺️”
“Madison was amazing and so sweet to my boys. The house was perfect when we got home and my dogs were happy ! Nothing more I could’ve asked for! I would recommend her and will definitely be using her 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!!”
“Danielle was an excellent pet sitter. She stayed at my house with my 2 dogs. One of my dogs is a rescue dog and suffers from PTSD and I can’t leave him at a kennel. Danielle was very professional and gave me feedback on how they were doing in my absence. I highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time having Haley stay with Olaf (a senior Bichon), and she was wonderful! I could tell by the photos she sent to me that Olaf was very happy with her! Everything was in order and clean when we returned. I'm grateful that we found Haley, and look forward to having her again. If anyone needs a great sitter, she's the one you want. She understands and loves animals, and that makes all the difference.”
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.
“What a godsend! We were hesitant to take a trip as our Benji has high anxiety but Meghann was an absolute gift! She took such great care of our pup and our home. She provided outstanding communication with updates and pictures that made our time away so much more relaxing. We couldn’t believe how Benji warmed up to her. She’s a whisperer! Our home was tidy and clean and she even came back and stayed with our Boy since our return was delayed. Five stars are not enough…. We will definitely book her again and again.”
“Delaney is fantastic! She is responsible, communicative, kind and caring. She took the best care of our boys and kept us in the loop with pictures. We are very grateful to have found her. Thanks Delaney!”
“Carlee took good care of our old man Gus while we were gone. She provided updates when necessary and left the house in great condition. We will definitely use Carlee again!”
“Stephanie took the time to meet our 3 dogs twice before our vacation because one of our dogs is scared of new people. She sent daily messages and photos while we were away. Her vast experience meant that everything went brilliantly and all the dogs loved her like family. I will not hesitate to book her again.”
“Our fur babies were well loved and cared for by Angel. They were happy and calm when we arrived back home. Our house was clean and neat, just like we left it. Angel kept in touch and sent pictures and videos daily; picked up our mail amd even watered our plants 💝Bed was stripped and towels put in the laundry room...thank you😊. We have already requested a "rebooking" for October. 5 🌟 👍”
About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and have taken every opportunity to care for and support them. Over the years, I have provided reliable dog and cat sitting services, working with a variety of breeds and sizes. Growing up in a home that always included pets has given me a deep appreciation for animals and a natural ability to care for them with patience, attention, and love. I would love the opportunity to provide your furry companion with the love, care, and happiness they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule and am currently available at a variety of times. With clear communication regarding dates and times needed, I will be able to promptly confirm my availability and ensure I can meet your scheduling needs. Every animal is unique, and I tailor care routines to best fit each pet’s individual needs and schedule. I believe clear communication is key to creating the perfect care plan for your furry companion. I always prioritize dedicated playtime and, depending on the pet, provide walks and outdoor time to keep them happy and active. I am highly flexible and committed to meeting the specific needs of every animal in my care.
“Ken did a great job managing my super anxious, big baby Chewy. He communicated well and allowed her to take her time to warm up. Throughout the short stay, Ken provided updates with pictures which gave me peace of mind knowing Chewy was taken care of. I could not be happier with the experience and will be booking again in the future. If you are looking for a responsible, caring, and reliable sitter, Ken is your guy. Highly recommend.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Saint Andrews is $40

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.
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.

- 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.
