“Lillie took care of our dogs during a wedding, drove them to the venue when planned, even dressed them and kept them for us until the end of the celebration. She was reliable, easy to connect with the dogs and handle them. She was creative when problems presented themselves, I cannot praise her enough!”
“Pamela quickly became like part of the family. Elliott was so excited to see her each day. She gave him plenty of entertainment, and was attentive and appropriate in her care. We were able to leave Elliott with her with perfect peace of mind knowing he was in competent and caring hands.”
“Dixie and her husband took care of my 5 mos old puppy for 7 days. They took care of Kirby like he was theirs. At one point Kirby had a bad night( anxiety from his parents leaving) and her husband stayed up with him most all night just trying to keep him happy and make him feel safe I will definitely use them again. Dixie stopped by a few days later to pick up something she had left and Kirby went crazy when she came in. He was very excited to see her and was jumping all over her so I would take that as his seal of approval too.”
About: I grew up alongside many beloved labradors and English setters, as well as taken care of various other breeds for family and friends. I have always had a soft spot for furry friends, and they often have a soft spot for me too! I’m on break from college and looking for any opportunity to work with your pets! Let me know what you need and I will deliver! I will take the time to get to know your pet, and allow them to feel comfortable with me. I offer walking and drop in sitting services!
“Elise was amazing! Took care of my girl while I was away! I’m grateful she took the time to watch her while I was gone. My girl I s a bit crazy and Elise was patient and kind with her.”
About: I've had my own dog(s) since I was in college. I enjoy taking care of my own dogs and would love to help locals out when they need to take a vacation where their fur baby can't go. I work from home so I am able to be around to take care of your pups. I can feed them on their normal schedule, let them out early and late as needed. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly pups of my own. We also have a place for a crate if your dog needs to have alone time or feels better in a crate.
About: I had multiple dogs all of my life and have taken care of horses and barn cats. Love all animals and want to make sure that they are doing amazing while you are away. I have pet sitted on and off over the years for friends and even flew to Las Vegas to petsit for an extended weekend. I’m currently working full time but can do late night drop ins, walks and am available any time on the weekends. Typically on the weekends I am free/flexible for any time, except the few times I’m out of town. Before letting pets out in fenced areas I double check gates are closed and latched before letting out. For any pets that are walked I ensure that they are leashed before heading out the door and do not take the leash off until inside with the door closed. I have an escape artist of myself at home so I know what to look for. I can easily place your pet in a crate before leaving if that is necessary.
About: I am a dedicated and passionate animal lover who is eager to provide the best care to your pet! :) With enthusiasm and reliability, I’m confident that I can be the perfect pet sitter for your furry family. I specialize in providing personalized attention and love to each pet I care for. I’m patient and understanding of their individual needs, routines, and preferences, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe in my care. I also have a deep understanding of the unique needs of both puppies and senior dogs (I’ve owned family senior dogs as well as raised my own from puppies), allowing me to provide the best care for them. With a flexible schedule, I easily integrate pet care into my daily or weekly routine. I prioritize their well-being, adjusting my schedule to offer consistent attention, exercise, and care. I am available during various hours, accommodating different schedules and ensuring pets receive the time and care they need. I ensure the pets stick to their usual routines to minimize stress. This includes regular feeding, walking, playtime, and rest. I also keep the living spaces clean and safe. If any special care is needed, like medication or specific diets, I make sure to follow the owner's instructions precisely. I also provide regular updates to the owner!
About: I’ve had dogs of many different breeds since I was born, so I’m experienced with just about every type of dog. I currently have two miniature dachshunds and devote my time to them and to full time pet sitting. I also frequently care for my sister’s two dogs, who I consider my niece and nephew, a female poodle, Vivienne, and a male Maltese-Bichon Frise, Wally, six and three years old, respectively. Also my mother recently adopted a puppy from the shelter, we think he is a french bulldog/boston terrier/boxer mix, his name is Griswald and I looove him. I love dogs of all kinds and sizes, and I volunteer with Pug Rescue Austin when I can. My favorite (and only) form of exercise is dog walking, and I would love to care for your dog-child. I’m currently dog-sitting full time, so I am free to devote all my time to taking care of your dog. My dogs stay with their grandmother when I’m boarding a dog, so your dog-child will receive my full attention ❣️🐕 I make sure that the area is safe, clean, and has plenty of toys. Your baby is always allowed on my furniture, couch, bed, everything; to make themselves at home and hang out and cuddle with me. I maintain a feeding, walking, and potty time schedule.
About: Animals come first with me. I have lots of experience walking dogs, including nervous pups and dogs that pull. I'm patient and calm and get along well with them. Cats are equally enticing and I understand their personalities. Even ferals commonly warm up quickly to me. I am fully insured and this is my full-time gig, so your pet is my top priority. When it comes to longer care, I'm a clean and respectful overnight sitter and have plenty of time and affection to give your furry family. I have over 20 years experience with cats including training, sitting, and medications of all types. I have taken care of horses, pigs, alpacas, mice, rabbits, kittens, dogs and puppies. I do cleaning, walking, visiting, feeding, socializing, and overnight visits if desired. I am a friend to every animal I see. I have plenty of attention to share with you furry kiddo. I am reliable and have a flexible schedule. My schedule is very flexible and I can work with whatever you need. I am available during the days, weekends, overnights. This is something I want to do, not have to do, so I'm really open. Every animal is an individual and I will be respectful of your pet's personality. I can take dogs to the park, woods or beach, if desired. I want to know what you want, whether time in the yard playing, walks, quiet time, feeding, treats or restricted diet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sapphire
What a great pet sitter for our 2 pups! Grey always gave updates & pics. He is quite witty in his communication about the pups which makes me laugh and it’s so on point! We were out of the country for 2 weeks, so it was the longest we’d ever been away from Emma & Harley. They seemed happy and well cared for. Don’t hesitate to book Grey as he’s the best!
We had an excellent experience with our sitter, who stayed in our home for four nights and cared for our two dogs, our cat, and even fed our fish tank. He was responsible, reliable, and truly respectful of our home. Communication was great throughout his stay—he kept us updated and was always easy to reach. He also handled pet medication smoothly, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We came home to happy pets and a house that was actually cleaner than when we left. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter, and we already have him booked for another visit!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sapphire is $96 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $75 and $98 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Sapphire 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 Sapphire 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 Sapphire 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
