“Chelsea took amazing care of our 3 dogs! Including our senior dog who needs daily medications, eye drops, and diapers. They loved her! Chelsea sent daily updates and photos to let us know how they were doing. Great communication and super friendly! We felt our dogs were in great hands while we were away for the week.”
“Anthony did a fantastic job taking care of our fur babies and our home. We found him to be very trustworthy, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. He showed a lot of patience and compassion with our high-energy puppy, which is no small task. He kept us updated daily with messages about their activities and how they were doing, which we really appreciated. We also came home to a clean, well-kept house. It was clear he treated our home and pets with care and respect. We would absolutely trust Anthony to watch our pets and home again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter.”
“Salem did a great job house sitting for our 2 pups! We had a medical issue with one of our dogs and she did an excellent job communicating. Will definitely ask to come back!”
“Savanna has always been wonderful with our pup. We’ve used her several times now and feel very comfortable knowing our girl is in good hands with her! We have a pretty shy dog and she takes a while to warm up to people, but it’s clear that she loves Savanna and is very comfortable around her. Savanna sends updates (with pics!) daily and takes good care of our home too. I highly recommend Savanna!”
“I am so thankful that I found JR to take care of my precious pup! I’ve always been able to leave her with family or friends and neighbors when away from home so this was the first time having someone else take care of her. And I couldn’t have found anyone better than JR. She bonded quickly with my dog and they had a great time together. Always updated me with great photos and updates and took great care of the house as well. I just hope she’s available next vacation!”
“Natallia was great with Duck! She was very communicative and made sure both Duck and I were comfortable when I had to leave! I will definitely work with Natallia in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Jess was a wonderful sitter for our two girls. She provided lots of updates and really went above and beyond! We hate traveling without our pups, but Jess made it easier to do so. Our house was also super clean when we returned!! Highly recommend Jess for your sitting needs. - E&J”
“Gwen is amazing and once again did a great job watching our Roxy and home. So thankful for her - Gwen gives us such peace of mind when we are away! Highly recommended!”
About: Not only have I grown up with dogs (cats, chickens, rats, the works!), I have extensive experience in petsitting and will do everything in my power to make sure your pet has a comfortable and safe experience while you are away. I am qualified in walking, feeding, playtime, bath time, training, etc... I have had many senior dogs in my lifetime, so I understand the challenges and patience needed for sweet seniors. All of my dogs have been rescues and understand the required care needed for shy or anxious dogs. I also have 3+ years experience in fostering cats, kittens included, so I'm well-versed in cat care too. I have two foster fails of my own! I am working remotely this summer so I can work my schedule around you :) Friday mornings are usually a no-go along with Thursdays from 10:30-2:30pm. Otherwise I'm around! I will strive to provide a secure, safe environment and be attentive to needs and any behavior changes. No loud, sudden noises and positive reinforcement will create a calm, comfortable environment for your pet. Walking, playing, and feeding daily can be given along with bathing.
“Nicole stepped in and was able to help us out with a last minute sit for our cat and dog. They loved having her stay with them and were well taken care of. We came home to a spotless home and happy pets! We would definitely use Nicole again!”
“Courtney is spectacular! She stayed with our dog Linus for a few days and they quickly became best friends. This was obvious from all the photos and short videos she sent to us, keeping us well informed about how things were going. She is warm, enthusiastic, proactive, and responsible. She showed a great deal of respect for us and our property, while also displaying a clear love of dogs through her affectionate and playful interactions with Linus. We felt at ease while away, knowing he was in good hands with her! Thank you, Courtney!”
“Kelsey did an INCREDIBLE job looking after my sweet Essie Mae. Her communication was excellent with lots of texts, pics and updates. It was very obvious, especially from ome of the pics, that Essie truly connected with Kelsey and loved having her as her care taker. We'll definitely use Kelsey again!”
About: I have been watching people’s furry family members for 10 years, giving them the love and care they need while their humans are away. I have experience with special needs pets, elderly pets, and other pets (chinchillas, bearded dragons, chickens, fish). I am comfortable administering medicines and other treatments, as well as cleaning up after/bathing animals when needed. Please keep in mind when booking that I require a weeks notice for jobs. I have another part time job that I have to give notice to. I am currently working full-time at a cafe/brunch restaurant. My typical shifts are 9-4 Wednesday-Thursday. If needed I have no issue with visiting your pets on my lunch break, given that they are a feasible distance from my job. I am available to watch your pets/home for any length of time. I am aware of how stressful it can be for your pet to not only be without their family, but to have a stranger come into their home. I make a point to gain your pets trust using experience and respect. I adapt to the needs of your pet, making sure their are cared for to the fullest, while also staying within their boundaries.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for over 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and I’ll make sure you feel at ease with regular updates and communication. I work 12-hour hospital shifts, so my availability can vary slightly week to week, but I’m intentional about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to. On my days off, I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, walks, playtime, and care they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and genuine love. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animal, so I make safety, comfort, and communication a priority. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs so your pet feels secure, cared for, and as relaxed as possible while you’re away.
“Bre was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. Kind, proactive and responsible! She was a great communicator and sent lots of sweet photos - I know that Cha Cha was in very good hands. Highly recommend, would hire again!”
“Lauren was amazing. We felt so comfortable with her and our dog loved her. She understood how to handle a timid dog and treated her with kindness and patience. She was responsive, reliable, and very clearly a dog lover. We would 100% book with her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Seaforth is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Seaforth
We are new to Rover. After a face-to-face meeting with Gwen, we asked her to house-sit our cat. We are extremely pleased with her service! Our cat has separation anxiety, but showed no signs of it when we returned, thanks to Gwen's attention/ample playtime. Our cat will not drink water from a bowl; it must be mixed in with each of his 4 meals.....not an easy feeding task. We appreciate that Gwen gave our cat the care that he needs. Also, she moved our potted plants into the garage on 'freeze' nights and took care of our home. Gwen was very easy to work. We have already scheduled our next booking with her. Thank you, Gwen!
Gwen was an amazing home- and petsitter for our cat, who took to her immediately. Great communication, timely, responsible, and daily photos and updates. We were out of the country for a week and didn't worry once. We are frequent travellers and will absolutely use Gwen's services again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for pet care in the area.

FAQs for House Sitting - Seaforth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,962 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Seaforth. 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 Seaforth 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 Seaforth 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Seaforth 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.
