“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.”
“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!!”
“Barbara was AMAZING! It was my first time using rover and she made it so easy and was so helpful. She truly loved my pup as her own and sent updates. She made me feel at ease leaving my fur baby with someone new. If I could give her 10 stars I would!”
“Neisha did a great job with my two dogs. She was very attentive and the dogs did very well with her. I left the house clean and came home to an even cleaner house which was very appreciated.”
“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!!”

“Brenda was fantastic!!! She took excellent care of my four dogs spending lots of time with them. It’s such a relief to find someone I don’t worry about leaving the dogs with! The house and yard were also clean as well.”
“10/10 would recommend Cassidy for house sitting your pet! She was great with our Australian Shepherd who has some nuanced social anxieties, and Cassidy helped his worried mama feel comfortable leaving him home. She gave our dog lots of love, attention, and exercise, even a super cute bandana! She also took great care of our home and sent frequent updates and pictures. Cassidy is professional, knowledgeable, responsible, and sweet. We look forward to requesting her services again!”
“Rosalind was a great dog sitter for our big anxious baby. She gave continuous updates and sent photos so we had peace of mind while gone. Would definitely book with her again!”
“My girls loved Donne. She stayed with them for 8 nights and did a fantastic job. She left the house spotless and even vacuumed! I would highly recommend Donne for any pet needs. Since we found her we are planning more excursions knowing we have a new loving and caring “family member “!!”
“Madeline did great! Our dogs are particular about food and she went above and beyond! She also cleaned up around the house and our house was cleaner when we came back! I highly recommend”
About: Have cared for pets now over 50+ years. Have had 4 dogs, 3 from puppies and our most recent is a rescue. Have also had 5 cats to care for over the years. Medical/feeding issues too tend to, are no problem either. One of our cats had diabetes and needed daily shots. let us make your pet part of my family I am available when needed. Would love to retire from the working world and take care of your pet needs. I am up early every day, There is no time am I not ready for you. We have a big back yard and a very pet friendly neighborhood. We have one big dog who is pet friendly. Pet (home) sitting and walking only at this time.
“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.”
“My dogs will not stand for any other sitter now that they have had the best. I can’t say enough good things about Scott and Elizabeth as pet sitters. I never have a concern when they are in their care and they are my babies!”
About: I’m a mom to 4 rambunctious children and 1 kid friendly chihuahua(14) and 1 loving husky pit mix(1). When most people meet my dog they are surprised at how friendly he is and how good he is with our young children. We used to have two dogs but we had to put older one down due to seizures and brain issues. In high school I worked in an army veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant for a cooperative work experience program. My original plan in life was to be a veterinarian but after having to assist with some tough cases I decided just being a good pet owner and caregiver was more my speed. I’m a full time stay at home mom and love playing with my dogs and kids in my spare time. I’d love to help you care for your fur baby as well. I’m pretty flexible. I’m home days once I get my kids get off to school during the day. In the evenings and on weekends I take them to their respective practices or games but that doesn’t mean I don’t have time to care for and give your fur baby some love as well. I like to take my fur babies for about a mile walk in the morning and then my younger pup will go on another half mile walk with me in the after noon. My older guys stays home and chills but he gets lots of love and snuggles at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sandy Plains
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!
We boarded our two bernedoodles for the first time, we usually have a sitter come stay at our house, so we weren’t sure how they would do. One suffers from some pretty severe separation anxiety. But, Ali did a great job and everything went well! Would recommend her services.
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 $53.28 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 4,720 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.

- 94% 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.
