“Audrey did a wonderful job with our two rambunctious German Shepherds. She is a good listener, attentive, and punctual. We got lots of great feedback while we were away, and when she needed additional information, was quick to contact us. She was housesitting/petsitting for us - when we returned, house was immaculate. She approaches this work as a real professional. Happy we found her, and fortunate to have her back in a few short days!”
“Jennifer has stayed with my Puggle, Toulouse, twice now in our home and I plan to request her again in the future. She is responsive when I reach out and she sends daily updates of how he’s doing. Toulouse is comfortable with Jennifer and loves playing tug of war with her (a great sign)! When I’ve returned home my place is just as good as I left it and my boy is happy. I couldn’t ask for more. I whole heartedly recommend Jennifer!”
“We love when Anna Lee stays with our pups! She is so attentive to their habits and needs, and they have clearly claimed her as part of their pack! She takes excellent care of our home, leaving it as good (if not better) than when we left. It's such a gift to be able to get away and not worry about our "krds" or home!”
“Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of our Alaskan Malamute and cat. She took the dog on walks daily, gave him a tone of attention, and I didn’t have to worry for a second while we were gone on vacation. Came back home to a clean house with laundry done. We will definitely be reaching out again when we are out of town.”
“We are so incredibly blessed to have found Nazeerah. We have had her twice now, and I wouldn’t ask for anyone else. She sets the standard very high! 😊. One of things I appreciate most is that she KNOWS my dogs. She gets their quirks and little behavior issues, loves them anyway, and knows how to handle them in ways that work for them specifically. Watching a pack of dive-six dogs is not for the faint of heart! But my dogs love her and do t just “survive” - they thrive!”
“Tierra was wonderful! Our dog Hank loved her as soon as he met her at our meet and greet 😊 She did an amazing job watching him, she sent great updates and pictures and Hank had so much fun with her! We came back to a very happy guy after his time with her 😊 we will definitely use Tierra again”
“Thanks, once again, Carla, for taking care of our home and the excellent care of Little Bear. It’s was so relaxing to know that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It made our trip so much more fun. 🤩”
“This is the second time we’ve had Jackie sit for our animals. She does a fantastic job and is extremely trustworthy. We will use her services again in the future!”
“Julie was an absolute gem! Our girl calmed right down and enjoyed her new friend. Julie sent us photos showing Rosie nice and relaxed at hom, as well as playing ball. She even washed the sheets and emptied the dishwasher! We will definitely ask Julie to stay again.”
“Monique did an amazing job with my two dogs, Annie and Oakley. Communications was great the entire time and it was so helpful in making me feel at ease while we were away. They went on great walks and loved their time with her. House was in perfect condition when we got home which is always nice. Thanks Monique!!!”
“Highly Recommend Jocelyn for Overnight Cat Sitting! We recently had Jocelyn stay with our cat, Wilson, for a full week of overnights, and we couldn't be happier with her service! From the moment we booked, Jocelyn was professional and friendly, and her care for Wilson while we were away was exceptional. Jocelyn was incredibly communicative throughout the week, providing regular updates and even photos of Wilson, which truly put our minds at ease. It was clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Beyond just caring for Wilson, Jocelyn went above and beyond in taking care of our home. We were so impressed to come back and find the house even tidier than when we left! She thoughtfully took care of details like taking out the trash and even washed the towels and sheets she had used – something we've never experienced with other sitters. This level of attention to detail truly sets her apart. Most importantly, Wilson was clearly very comfortable and content when we returned. He seemed relaxed and happy, which speaks volumes about the care and attention Jocelyn provided. We wholeheartedly recommend Jocelyn to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and exceptionally thoughtful cat sitter. We will definitely be booking her services again in the future!”
About: I’ve watched all kinds of dogs from puppies to the oldest of fellas. Some have had strict diets and medications that needed to be taken at specific times. I always make sure to give dogs plenty of exercise especially if they are crate trained, just get them tuckered out before needing to be put away for the night. House rules are always respected as well, your house is just as important as your dog! I am a full time student at SOU as well as an athlete so I will need to work around my class and practice schedule however, I scheduled classes to give me a little morning time and have evenings free! Periodic check-ins Monday-Thursday work best, staying full time at ones house works best Friday-Monday morning. While I can’t take in pets as I live in the dorms at SOU, I can carve out time to come meet the client and pets before the trip if that would give a sense of comfort, learn about the home and such. I am comfortable giving oral medicines to stubborn dogs, I have one myself! I have worked in houses that have cameras and/or pet cameras in and out of the house so I am comfortable with that too!
“Shenna was wonderful with our dogs and brought real peace of mind while we were away. She asked thoughtful questions, showed genuine affection for the animals, and carried a calm “I got this” confidence from start to finish. We came home to happy pets and a clean, well-cared-for home. Her reliability and care truly stood out, and we’d definitely book with her again.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and other animals. They have always been apart of my life. I had 10 dogs at once for about 4 years. I am very patient and understanding. Good with any puke, poop and pee, it doesn’t bother me. Love dogs and will do any special things that need done. I am currently an Eastern Student and have class from 9-12 and work part time at safeway from about 1-7 as of right now. I am planning on doing online class starting in January and planning on working like 8am-2pm at Safeway starting in December. So I will be more flexible in the coming months. Can do early morning and late nights if needed I will keep things clean and tidy while in others home. Will take dog on leash if not fenced in. Will make sure dog has food and water if they aren’t schedule fed.
About: I have had dogs my whole life ranging from Pomeranians to Labradors. I have also worked at veterinary clinics, dog daycares and animal shelters. I have experience providing care to both puppies and senior dogs, as well as taking care of medical needs for special cases in both dogs and cats. Animals are my passion, and I promise I will treat your pets like my own. I am available Monday through Sunday full time. I can be available morning starting at 10am to evenings ending at 8pm. I am also available to pet sit in your home any day of the week. I do not have the means to provide boarding in my home. But I would love to take care of your pets in your home, where I’m sure they’ll feel safe and comfortable. I require a meet and greet prior to house sitting as well as a smoke free, tidy, and hygienic house.
“Danielle did an amazing job house-sitting and taking care of our kitten, Kingston, over the past few days. She spent a lot of time interacting and playing with him, which we really appreciated. Kingston can be quite the little biter, and she even went out of her way to buy him a new chew toy to help with that. She was punctual, communicative, and left our home clean and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and treats them with care and attention. We would absolutely recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter, and we would gladly book her again in the future!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Scribner is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scribner
Alyvia has house sat for our cats twice now and both times she was absolutely wonderful. Great with communication, very helpful with a couple of random things that popped up around the house, left the house very clean, and great with the cats of course! Our cats are wary of new people and they warmed up to her quick! I would highly recommend hiring Alyvia to watch your fur babies!
Alyvia has watched our precious Odie many of times, she is absolutely amazing with him. He absolutely loves her and gets soo excited any time he sees her! We are so lucky to have her as Odies puppy sitter. It takes a weight off our shoulders knowing our little fur baby is getting such good care and is happy when we are away from home.
Alyvia gave us the peace of mind to fully enjoy our family vacation because she gave amazing care for our 3 fur babies. Also knowing they were in our house doing their normal routine gave them zero anxiety that we were gone. She is highly reliable and respectful of our house while she pet and house sat.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Scribner on Rover is $33.3 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 671 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scribner. 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 Scribner 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 Scribner 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 Scribner 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.
