“I have no doubt Barbara goes above and beyond taking care of my dog and home. I have great piece of mind leaving my pets in her care, and for an anxious clingy dog, she is very content and comfortable in Barbara’s care.”
“Cassidy took such fantastic care of our boys while we were away! So many extra great touches and details. Our boys seem happy and well taken care of. I cant really say enough! Thank you, Cassidy!”
“Joey did an excellent job staying with my senior pup while I was away from home. Kept me updated, ensured my pup got his medicines, and gave him lots of attention while I was gone. Would book again!!”
“Madeline was great with our 2 dogs! One of our pups is very timid with new people but warmed up quickly to her. She played with them, was flexible with their diet due to unforeseen changes while we were away, and made sure our dogs who have separation anxiety felt comforted and loved. We will be booking her again for future trips!”
“Erin is such a great sitter to our two pups! She is very trustworthy and reliable which means so much when you have someone staying in your home! Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“George did an exceptional job house & pet sitting for us. We have a crew to manage and we do not trust just anyone, but could tell from the first meeting he would be a good fit. Great communication and photos. Will definitely use his help again!!”
“McKinnon is very professional and trustworthy. Always communicative and took excellent care of our senior pups while we were gone for a long weekend. Came back to a house the way we left it and happy pups. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!”
“Tempest was fantastic when she watched our cat and dog. She was professional, great with communication and updates, and most importantly, gave the pets lots of attention and snuggles.”
“Jasmine was incredible! Kept me well informed about what was going on with Baxter. Spent lots of time outside with him. I could tell he had a great time with Jasmine! Will definitely use Jasmine again in the future to house & dog sit.”
“Jiselle was wonderful! We have two big crazy pups that can be a lot and she was great with them. She was on time and sent daily updates with pictures of what they did that day. It was such a relief to know our dogs were being well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely reach out to Jiselle in the future!”
“Mark was absolutely amazing with our dog. He sent us photos throughout the weekend and updated us on how he was doing. Due to our dog being a little uncertain of new people, Mark even offered to come meet him ahead of time for peace of mind. We will absolutely be using him again!!”
“Manoela was great! She was able to watch our dog Max fairly last minute. She was punctual, quick to respond, and sent us photos - I could tell Max was comfortable with her! Thank you!”
“Neisha was so kind and really took great care of my home and Pepper. I was concerned about leaving someone I just met in my home, but I feel Neisha was respectful and took care of my home like I would. She was great with Pepper, washing her often and brushing her hair. I'd definitely use her again. Thank you, Neisha!”
“Ryan is a fantastic dog sitter and we will definitely use him again. He is polite, kind to animals, asks important questions before the stay, and makes careful note of any special needs you dog may have. He cared for both of our large dogs with ease, and it was very nice to know they were comfortably at our home during our vacation with Ryan taking good care of them, as opposed to boarding them in a kennel. It is obvious he loves dogs and ours took to him quickly. He was attentive to them and we were confident they were in great hands while we were away. I would highly recommend him!”
“Tristan was great. He arrived on time and was very polite. He took very good care of my baby and provided constant updates. I will definitely contact Tristan for any future needs.”
“We are very thankful for Kate’s help! We received many kitty pictures and updates while we were away and the house was spotless when we returned. It was our first time using Rover and are super happy with the whole experience.”
“She was absolutely amazing with my four dogs. Caring for one dog is one thing, but handling four takes real patience, attention, and genuine love for animals, and she exceeded expectations in every way. She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. All four dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention and affection. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.”
“It was a pleasure working with Yoli. Calli had lots of play time with her dogs. It was great seeing pictures and videos they sent showing she was happy and comfortable outside of her home environment.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sandy Plains is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sandy Plains
Katherine was a very attentive sitter with regular communication. We got updates and pictures daily. She always responded to my outreach in a timely manner. She followed instructions well and left the house clean. Everything you could ask for when leaving our precious pups with a sitter!
We request Summer often and can’t say enough good things about her. She cares for our pets and leaves detailed messages for us about everything. She takes care of our home and often leaves it better than when we left for a trip. I highly recommend Summer if you want a reliable sitter who communicates well!
Andrea truly loves animals. We hired her to stay in our home while away on a family vacation and it was clear early on we had nothing to worry about while away. She lavished attention on our cat and dog, taking them for walks and cuddling with them on the couch. She was a great communicator and left the house in perfect condition (she even left US a treat!)
Natalie was absolutely amazing! We felt so comfortable knowing our home and pets were in such good hands while we were away. She was incredibly kind, responsible, and communicative, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. It gave us so much peace of mind being able to enjoy our time away knowing Natalie was there. She took great care of our pets and our home, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter. We would 100% recommend Natalie and will definitely be asking her to help us again in the future!
Claire did a wonderful job with our pup Miles! We greatly appreciated the consistent communication & various pictures throughout her stay. Claire made sure to ask questions in order to be consistent with our pups routine. We were overall very happy with Claire & the excellent care she provided!
Valerie is an excellent dog sitter and I highly recommend her! She was very responsive throughout the entire boarding experience and kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also incredibly patient with our dog, who was a little shy and reluctant to warm up at first. Despite that, Valerie handled it with grace and never made us feel like it was an issue. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Kotryna was great! She watched my 4 month old Swissy Mitch. For starters she arrived on time. She took Mitch out regularly throughout the day. The weather was nice so she let him explore the backyard and gave him plenty of playtime in the front. I got plenty of updates during the day and a full update when she left. I am super happy with the care she provided Mitch and look forward to having her help in the future!!
John did such a wonderful job at our home watching our sweet cat Maxine! He stayed with her for two weeks while we were away. He took care of her every evening and watched over our home as well. He took great care with both. Thank you so much, John. We appreciate all you did and will use you every time. We travel from here on out!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sandy Plains
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sandy Plains on Rover is $54.39 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,692 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sandy Plains. 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 Sandy Plains 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 Sandy Plains 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 Sandy Plains 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
