“I can’t say enough good things about Sahara! This was the very first time I left my dogs with someone outside of my immediate family, so I was naturally nervous. From the moment I left for vacation, she made me and my fur babies feel completely at ease. She was caring, reliable, attentive, and treated my dogs like they were her own. Thank you!!!!!!”
“Michelle was amazing! Let me start by saying, this is my first experience with Rover and with hiring a dog sitter in general so I was extremely nervous! Our dog sitter ended up getting sick while we were on our trip and I needed someone in a hurry. I was looking through the Rover app after midnight trying to find someone local, and I came across Michelle and someone else's profile. Michelle didn't have any reviews at all, so that made me a bit weary but after looking at her profile I thought she seemed sweet and I needed someone ASAP, so I decided to contact her. She responded in less than 15min saying she was available for that night. Great! Then in the morning around 9am the person who was supposed to come at lunchtime to feed my doggies and take them out had a family emergency they had to tend to so they would not be available, so I reached out to Michelle hoping she would be available for a drop in (mind you it was only a few hours notice) and she was quick to respond and tell me it was no problem. I was very grateful, though still nervous because I wasn't sure how my doggies would react to her, especially being my oldest is usually very grumpy and barks at EVERYONE and takes a while to warm up to anyone. I looked on the camera when she arrived and was so surprised to see that my oldest dog was not barking and he warmed up to Michelle immediately! That alone was enough to let me know I made the right choice!! She was extremely sweet with my pups, she was in contact with me throughout every visit, and very thorough in asking questions and making sure she followed every instruction I gave her. She sent me pictures and videos and I could tell my dogs absolutely love her!! I'm so so grateful to have found Michelle, it is obvious she truly loves and cares for your fur babies! I will definitely use her any time we travel or need a quick drop in visit for our doggies. If you're looking for someone you can trust, who your fur babies will love and feel safe with, reach out to Michelle!!! 🫶”
“Patti was wonderful with our pups! We really appreciate the care she took with our fur babies. Great communication on how everything was going. She even collected mail, ran the dishwasher and took the garbage to the curb for pickup. We will definitely be calling on her again”
“Edi was so wonderful, she took amazing care of our three pets, was communicative, brought in mail and watered plants. She took such good care of our animals, I would have her back anytime.”
“Kathy was a dream come true. I have two cats. A young and feisty female and an elderly male cat (18 years old). She took care of them like a rock star getting them both to warm up to her in the 7 days we were away. She spent time with them and nurtured them like I would. The older cat is in diapers and she handled that like a charm. When we got home our house was in order and very clean. She brought in the mail and put out the trash and generally treated our home as if it was hers. I highly recommend Kathy and will definitely use her again.”
About: Huge dog lover, will pick up literally any dog I see on the streets. Treat every fur baby with love and respect just as they treat us with love and respect. Enjoy playing with them and being apart of them experiencing life as they should. I am a fur mama myself and have taken care of dogs from any and every stage. I also have foster in the past and have successfully placed all my fosters into loving homes. With me your fur baby will be loved, have fun and experience new adventures ☺️ I’m currently working part-time so they will fit just right in my schedule and I’m always there to update you because end of the day they’re our babies ! I have a fenced yard and a golden retriever who is just so loving and playful (she just turn 1). I also have huge cages if they were to be needed to be placed in a cage. Safety is my number one priority because that would be my number 1 concern as a dog mom myself
“Charlotte is the best pet sitter we have ever had. She goes above and beyond. She kept us updated everyday with detailed texts and photos. Our pets just adored her. We will 100% use her again.”
“Kimberlee was an excellent sitter for our two dogs. One of our dogs is very anxious and takes a long time to warm up to people, but she quickly warmed up to Kimberlee. Kimberlee kept our house tidy and even watered our plants. We would definitely book with Kimberlee again.”
“Laura was phenomenal. It was a last minute booking and she went out of her way to make our life easy while I’m out of town and my husband having a changing work schedule. She was an extra hand that adapted to changes quickly which we both appreciated.”
About: I currently have three cats and a dog! Im very well rounded in terms of animal care, safety, and enrichment. I am a nursing school student so I can promise you safety is my top priority if your baby needs special care, I can safely administer injectable medications if needed. I am free day or night. I will always work with you to accommodate even the most last minute scheduling. I am currently available reliably Friday-Monday with occasional by request times available on other days. Message me if you are unsure! I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. I follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have worked with Senior and disabled animals so I am able to provide a well rounded range of care. I can also send regular photo and video updates because I know how scary it can be to trust someone in your home with your babies. You will never be left wondering under my care. For cats- Having 3 of my own, I totally understand that every cat has a different personality! Whether your cat is social and loves attention or prefers space and a calm environment, I take the time to earn their trust and keep their routine consistent. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“We went out of town just after Christmas and needed a dog sitter. We were very pleased to come home to a happy, healthy pup, we had great communication the whole time and received a set of pictures and updates every evening. We will be using Maria Abigail‘s dog sitting service again!”
“Amanda was great with our girl! Our pup is a bit vocal and has a few quirks; like needing doors closed, a sound machine on when we’re out, and a special diet…but Amanda handled everything. Communication was easy and consistent, and we came home to a happy pup. It’s clear she really cared, and we’ve already booked her again.”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely fantastic! She was sure to check in with us daily about how our pets were doing and took the cutest photos. She asked so many detailed questions so she could make sure that she followed our regular routine, which we appreciated so much. She was sweet enough to take the mail in and left the house perfectly clean. Our dog and kitten were very happy when we came home and we could tell that they enjoyed their time with her. We'll absolutely be using her next time we go out of town! :)”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals so friends and family have relied on me over the years. Also, I have raised four children and many pets. I create my own schedule so reach out and we can make a time that works for you. I’m flexible. Holidays included as well as Christmas Native to the area. I have experience with many different types of animals over the years and I have four grown children and a grandchild so I have seen a lot. I’m happy to help so reach out.
“Jennifer was a godsend to us! It's been about 5 or 6 years since we'd left our cat with anyone for longer than a weekend. I used to have a great next-door neighbor, who moved away and the friends I've entrusted our kitty to just weren't doing as well as we wanted, so I wasn't comfortable leaving him for long. This year was my 20th anniversary and my husband and I planned a long trip, that couldn't include him. We also didn't want to have our house look empty. We found Jennifer on Rover and read through the reviews and decided to give it a shot. Jennifer checked in with us often - sending photos, etc. I could see that our boy really bonded with her. We have a ring system, so we knew when she would come and go, and she was there as often, if not even a little more than she had committed to, which was perfect for our needs. On our drive home, we used an app called "Glympse" to let Jennifer know where we were on the road. When I went to cancel it (10 hours later), I could see that she checked the app 2 hours before we got home. This was added piece of mind, ensuring that if something were to have happened to us, she would have still been there for our boy. It showed that she truly loves animals, and this is more than just a job to her. The icing on the cake, is that our house was cleaner when we got home than it was when we left :)”
“Jody was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our 4 dogs and cat with such care and attention to detail. She was reliable, communicated well, and made our first experience with Rover a breeze. We will definitely be booking her services again in the future. Highly recommend Jody for all your pet sitting needs! 5 stars all the way!”
“Destini was amazing!! She was very kind and communicative while staying with our pups. She even handled our dog’s epilepsy episode and medications like a champ. Will definitely be using her again!”
“María is excellent. Since the first time she came to meet Kenji, she had a special bond with him. Kenji has a medical condition that worsens in stressful situations, but he was very relaxed with Maria. We thank her very much for the diligent care for Kenji. Thanks to her, our trip was very enjoyable and relaxing. We recommend her 100%. We’ll be calling Maria any time we need someone to care for Kenji. Thank you again, Maria.”

Title: Amazing Pet Sitter – Highly Recommend Kat! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kat just finished watching my chihuahuas for a full week, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and understands how to make them feel safe and happy. She sent me daily updates with adorable photos, kept me informed on how they were doing, and followed their routines perfectly. My chihuahuas can be a little shy at first, but they warmed up to her right away and by the end of the week, they were clearly smitten! I came home to five relaxed, happy pups. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet sitter, Kat is the one. I will absolutely be booking her again in

FAQs for House Sitting - Sells
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sells on Rover is $66.6 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 1,718 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sells. 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 Sells 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 Sells 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 Sells 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.
