“Julia was great. My dogs were instantly comfortable with her, which was a great sign to me and made me feel much more relaxed on vacation. She sent pictures daily to show their mood and they were doing well. She was reliable and communicated really well. I would book her again and recommend to friends.”
“Alexis was amazing and kept us in the loop with how our pets were doing. We got pics daily and she left our house in tip top shape. We highly recommend her and will definitely request her to come back. Thanks, Alexis!”
“Mariah was amazing! She came to our house and watched our 2 dogs for 4 days and did a fantastic job! I got daily updates as well as pictures letting me know how the dogs were doing the whole time. She played outside with them and spent quality time with them! I knew they were in good hands while I was away. She listened to all of the directions and left our house very clean! I highly recommend her and will be using her again for future bookings! If you are looking for someone reliable and trustworthy, book with Mariah!”
“Jadyn took care of our two geriatric dogs this weekend overnight and she was wonderful with them, she was very communicative about her time and gave us regular updates and photos. She cleaned up and even left the bedroom with clean sheets! We’ll definitely ask her to dogsit for us again!”
“Franki was great! My husband and both felt immediately at ease when we met her. She took great care of my dogs and the house looked great when we returned. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. They are a great joy to my life, but I understand the responsibility that comes with them. I’ve owned all different kinds of dogs, big and small, young and old. So, I also understand the special attention and care that some dogs need. With me your dogs will receive the proper care they need from walks and playtime to comfort to safety. You can rest assured that your dog will be happy and safe with me! I’m currently a full time college student, but other than during class time (Monday-Thursday) I am free to pet-sit. I only have a couple classes each day, so the longest your pet will be alone is a few hours at a time. I will provide a great environment for your pet by make sure he/she gets proper nutrition, playtime, walks, and cuddles! I can make sure your pet receives proper care with specific feeding instructions and exercise/playtime regimens.
“We are so thankful to have found Bree. She provided constant updates and was always willing to check in more if we wanted. We will 100% be using her for our extended vacations.”
“Ariana is amazing! She came out to meet Gemma and go over instructions twice before we went out of town. Ariana sent pictures and kept us updated while we were away. We felt very comfortable leaving Gemma in her care! We will definitely book Ariana again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alissa! She cared for our three dogs from Tuesday through Friday and did an excellent job. She followed all of the care instructions we provided, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home everything was exactly how we left it, clean and well cared for. Most importantly, our dogs were happy and clearly well looked after. We truly appreciate her reliability and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
“Sam was wonderful! She cleaned up after herself, communicated with us really well, and most importantly, loved and cared for our pup like we do. She was incredibly thoughtful and intuitive about his care, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands with her. We would absolutely have her back!”
About: Ever since I was around 5 or 6, I always remember being in a home with pets. Whether it was dogs, cats, reptiles, a potbellied pig, and even smaller animals. Older or very young, all of the animals I have had and cared for were very spoiled and given a life well deserved. I love every single animal and couldn't imagine a life without them. I believe that all animals deserve proper care, and a loving home. Any animal is loved as if they were my own. I am currently working at Kroger part time, three days a week. I am going to school full time as well. The days I work at Kroger are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday- 5 a.m.- 9 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays are the days I attend school and go all day. I plan on fitting in pet care after working at my job, and possibly weekends. I care for pets in my home or a client's home by greeting them and making sure they have everything they need. This includes making sure they are comfortable enough, with plenty of food and water. I also make sure they get taken outside or have access to use the bathroom often or whenever needed. Activities, such as playing, walks, or tricks is something I make sure to fit in as well.
About: Hey there fellow dog lovers!! My name is Bree, I currently live in Berthoud and am 37 years old. I have had anything in my home from Pekinese to labs to Malamutes so love and can handle all sizes and temperaments. I have had experience with senior dogs as my last large breed needed special care needing special food made and pills administered multiple times a day. I am a stay at home momma to a 2 & 4 year old who love jumping in the stroller and going on cruised with your furry friends! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! I can't wait to meet you and your four legged friend :) I am a full time stay at home mom to a 2 & 4 year old so we LOVE going on stroller walks & would love to bring your 4 legged friend along with us! I can do morning afternoon and evening let outs/ feedings or medications as well. I make sure to meet & greet and make sure the animals are comfortable with me before taking on a stroll. I always respect the animals comfort ability & if they are appearing tired we return home or in the case where it’s hot outside I make sure to try and pick a more shaded route!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Johns on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 250 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Johns. 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 Johns 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 Johns 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 Johns 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 Johns. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
