“Alyssa did a great job taking care of our pups and providing us with pupdates (with pictures) throughout her stay. She cleaned up after herself while staying in our house and even unloaded the dishwasher for us, which was a pleasant surprise. I would be happy to hire her again.”
“Izabella was very communicative while she pet sit our two cats over a long weekend. She sent photos and gave updates on how they were doing each visit. She even did an extra visit during the day once since she was so close to us! While staying overnight in our home, she was very respectful and left it just as clean as she found it! Would definitely hire her again.”
“Denise did a wonderful job with our 4 dogs. 3 of the 4 are elders and she didn’t miss a beat with their multiple feedings and different medications. We received lots of photos and communication from her. I’m an anxious dog mom and will definitely rebook with Denise and Brenna.”
About: I lost my dog Daisy of almost 11 years and would love to help with your dog while you are away! Whatever your dog needs just let me know. I am retired and work a seasonal part time job and have spare time to help with dog sitting I love dogs and would be happy to help you out! I will come to your house as needed and gladly walk, feed and play with your dog while you’re unavailable . If that is for one day or several days.. I am available to house/pet sit for longer periods of time .
“Carolynn was prompt and communicated well with us. We have an older Beagle who tends to have some separation anxiety when I leave town. He had no issues when Carolynn stayed with him in our home. We loved the pics that she sent while we were away and we felt at ease because we knew that he was well taken care of while we were gone. This was the first time we left him with someone other than family. We look forward to having Carolynn take care of Cozmo again!”
“Julie was awesome!! She took care of my two dogs and two cats. One of my dogs is a huge Great Pyrenees Pit Bull Mix that she figured out how to charm. She was very caring, and honestly visited more often and did way more than I was asking (or expected). She is my Go To if/when I need care for my critters!!!”
“Lauren did an excellent job watching our senior dog! He requires several medications throughout the day and she took wonderful care of his needs! She was great at communicating with us and she sent pictures daily. The house was neat as a pin when we arrived home! We would highly recommend her to any pet parent!!”
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for animals, including cats and dogs. I’m also a CNA with 5 years of professional caregiving experience, so I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and comfortable following specific care routines. I’ll treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and companionship. I’m active, dependable, and enjoy spending time outdoors, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to! Safety and trust are my top priorities. I always follow each owner’s specific instructions and keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I make sure their environment is clean, secure, and comfortable, while providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or needs and will keep owners updated with photos and messages while their pet is in my care.
“Jenny put up with our ridiculous Frenchies and even collected eggs from the chickens each day. The house was in the shape we left it and she communicated each day with updates. Would recommend!”
“Emily spent two weeks at our house with our three dogs and loved them like they were her own. We requested daily photo updates and she obliged with more than 150 pics during our time abroad. She had to help us process the unexpected loss of one of our pups during this time and was an absolute godsend to us. We would recommend her 1000 times over.”
About: I have 2 older BIG dogs and 2 cats. Not afraid of anything that comes out of them lol. Patience and love go a long way with animals. I will walk/watch your animal with the same care and attention that I give my furbabies. I am an online Cybersecurity teacher and work from home, so I have time to stop over while you are at work. Not available after 8pm. I have a semi fenced yard, leashed walks only or hang outside with me on a tie out. We also go to the dog park by the water tower for some off leash play. I never leave them unattended as there are lots of neighbor dogs.
“Hayley is great! She's a great communicator and sends lots of pictures. We came home to a very clean house and a happy dog. This is the second time she's helped us and we will happily use her again!”
“Scott was just awesome. The dogs were very receptive to him. He sent numerous pictures. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone. My wife and I don't go on vacation very much because of our furry friends, but we may start to go more often now.”
“Tanya is an amazing person she cares for our cookie so wonderful and cares about her as if she was her pup, we appreciate her, when we get home our house is always cleaned and taken care of, Tanya is our person that we trust very much with our fur baby!!! I would definitely recommend her,”
“Great communication throughout the whole process. Had a hiccup with my St Bernard, but it was a 50/50 chance on the sitting working out. We just moved to a new town, street, and house, so the doggos stress was too high. We'll definitely give it another try in the future!”
“Briana was amazing with our two very high maintenance dogs even with some big last minute changes to their plans and care. Both of my dogs warmed up to her quickly and she took wonderful care of them. Absolutely recommend her!”
“Amber was great! She gave us daily updates and pictures. Did great talking care of my 3 older dogs and giving the oldest her meds. The house was left tidy and she was very responsive. Would recommend using her to dogsit/house sit.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Scandia on Rover is $29.96 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 1,883 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scandia. 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 Scandia 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 Scandia 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 Scandia 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 Scandia. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
