“Jillian is very friendly, cooperative and communicative. She kept me informed throughout the day to reassure me that my dogs were fine. Because she did this, I could relax knowing my dogs were in good, caring hands for 8 days. She cleaned my house and took extra care to make sure she followed instructions properly.”
“Anna was great with my 3.5 month old Australian shepherd mix! She was understanding and patient and flexible with her schedule! She was great at providing updates and photos. She also likes to train which is super helpful! Definitely going to use her services again!”
“Matias filled in last-minute after our original sitter had an emergency. Matias was great with the dogs and the house. He was responsive every time we checked in and kept us updated on everything that came up while we were gone. One of our dogs is/was a puppy (10 months) at the time of the sit and Matias was very good natured about her puppy behavior. The dogs seemed to like him. He did a great job with walks and getting them out for play time in our yard. The dogs were on a special diet at the time of the sit and Matias had to play home chef to the dogs. He did great. We came home to a clean house and happy, healthy dogs. We’d definitely recommend Matias.”
“I can definitely say that after being gone for eight days I was very appreciative for what I came back to. I've had my challenges with the dogs so for someone to come in a take over for a week seemed a little daunting however Yolanda came through with 5 stars... I have no doubt the dogs were well taken care of as all instructions left were meticulously followed and the dogs were definitely well cared for not to mention the house was cleaner then I left it. There's nothing better then coming back from a vacation with well taken care of dogs. Would definitely recommend for worry free dog sitting”
“Simone had great communication and was amazingly flexible with our timing needs - during a holiday weekend on top of that! Having peace of mind while away was much appreciated. She was respectful and easy going. Would definitely have her back to watch my mischievous pittie anytime!”
“Cydney took great care of Harper, was reliable and promptly communicated with me. She is a very kind and responsible person. I recommend her and will use her to watch Harper in the future.”
“Jordan was great!! He was patient with our neurotic dog and made sure she had a safe space when she was ready to interact. He followed all the petcare procedures for the dog, cat, and chickens. He watered the plants and left the house clean! We loved the pictures he sent us of the critters and the ongoing communication while we were gone. Definitely recommend him and would use him again!”
“Amy is kind, caring, and attentive. My pets loved her. She is excellent and communicating and sending updates. She’s very generous and fair with her pricing and services. She will be my go to for any future housesitting/ pet care needs. Thank you Amy 😍”
“Cynthia was fantastic! She clearly loves animals and will care for your pets as if they were her own. She came over with a binder before her stay and took detailed notes on all the info she needed. She was a good communicator and shared photos of the dogs regularly. Our dogs seemed great when we returned and our house looked cleaner than when we left it. She’s a delightful person, a true professional and we can’t wait to ask her to watch our guys again!”
“We love working with Makenna because she amazing with Rheia, reliable, always responsive, and takes great care of our place when house-sitting. We can travel and be confidence that our family (Rheia) and home are safe, and we’re planning to keep working with Makenna going forward.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scotts Flat
Jillian is fantastic! Jillian is reasonable with pricing and works with your schedule. Jillian ensures clear communication before, during, and after each visit. She has stayed with our dog a few time and each time she has gone above and beyond in offering our dog daily activities. She sends photos and videos of the daily adventures they take together. I feel at ease knowing our dog is happy and in great hands with Jillian. Additionally she leave our home clean and sometime better than we left it. I couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for our dog and our home!
I had an amazing experience with Jullaney and highly recommend her! She was incredibly kind, reliable, and attentive with my special senior boy, Prince. She had no problem giving his medications and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was obvious she genuinely connected with him and cared about his comfort and routine. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I am so grateful for the love and attention she gave him. I will absolutely be using her again in the future!
Ana was fantastic! She did 2 days house sitting with my sweet girl who has separation anxiety and can't be left alone for long. Ana was very respectful of my home, a great communicator, and my fur baby was calm and happy when I returned. Grateful for her care and attention!

FAQs for House Sitting - Scotts Flat
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Scotts Flat on Rover is $21.09 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 235 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scotts Flat. 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 Scotts Flat 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 Scotts Flat 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 Scotts Flat 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.

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.
