“We have never used Rover before and we decided to give it a try. After reading many 5 star reviews for BrieAnn, we chose to book pet sitting service with her. We are so glad we did! I have a senior dog, Bella, who takes medicine and we had her cousin dog, Buster, in town for my daughter’s graduation and I needed someone who would be loving and watchful. BriAnne took the very best care of both our dogs. We received several pics throughout the day (and night) from BriAnn that assured me that our fur babies were in great care. I will gladly rebook with BriAnne - she is clearly a pet lover 😊”
“Maddie was very sweet and friendly with my fur baby Gucci! She was amazing and will rebook when the time comes again! Very lucky to have been able to book Maddie. Highly suggest her watching or caring for your babies! ? ? ?”
“We cannot overstate how excellent Robert was for us. It's immediately clear when meeting Robert that he values our dogs as his own. Robert was very flexible and exceeded our expectations, despite the challenges of handling the care of our multiple dogs.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for over 35 years—and truth be told, I often prefer their honest company over people! What sets me apart is my patient, instinctual approach to every dog's unique quirks and needs. Whether administering careful senior routines or keeping active dogs safely engaged and exercised, your pup gets dedicated, stress-free care in their loving home environment. Since my coursework is fully online and completed from home, pet sitting fits naturally into my day-to-day schedule. I offer near-constant availability for companionship, frequent backyard play sessions, and timely neighborhood walks. Your dog benefits from around-the-clock presence and individualized care rather than being crated or left alone, creating a comfortable, seamless home-away-from-home experience. I specialize in client-home care because dogs are happiest and most secure in their own territory. Staying in their normal environment prevents kennel stress, eliminates travel anxiety, and preserves every detail of their everyday routine. You can travel with full peace of mind knowing your home is secure and your pet is receiving dedicated, one-on-one attention in their safest space.
“Katie is reliable and professional . Provides consistent updates and goes above and beyond to make your time away as worry free as possible. Katie took great care of our dogs and home.”
About: Hello, pet parents. I've been pet sitting for over 25 years. We moved around the world for that long. As a military family, I saw a need for good pet care lacking good pet sitters. Now that my kids are grown, they love helping with furry kids as our full-time job. Let us help take the worries off your everyday. We often do the following for pet parents: * Give medication * Turn on and off lights * Check gates, windows, and doors * Water plants and gardens * Pick up prepaid pet supplies * Refresh water bowl * Feed all pets on their usual schedule * Take out dogs to potty * Scoop pet waste * Bring in mail and boxes * Wait for big household item deliveries * Install monitoring * Take trash and recycling cans to and from the curbside * Wait for service and maintenance appointments * Wait for mobile groomer or mobile veterinarian appointments * Walk dogs We currently work full-time, 7 days a week, 12 months a year. We can help with overnight pet sits, 2 to 5 pet visits daily for weeks for vacation care, and daily and weekly walks and visits for work. We go to Meet & Greets to ensure your routine is followed to the letter, so that we know the environment. This helps us determine if we need to walk due to a lack of a fence, and to stay with them outside and inside to ensure they are safe at all times.
About: I have taken care of many dogs myself throughout the years, and they are all healthy and happy. I love caring for dogs so much. I’m good at walking and taking care of them and love them so much. I’m currently working a job, and some days I will not be able to check in, but some I will. This fits into my routine by getting the exercise and fun time with dogs, without disturbing my routine. My dogs have lived a very long life they are healthy and happy, and I can ensure you your dogs will be safe and happy with me.

About: I have had animals my whole life of all kinds including birds, and horses, dogs, and cats. I have experience as a groomer, and working as a veterinarian technician. I am not working so, I am available most of the time, I am a caregiver to my adult autistic son. He is functioning enough to be alone while I take care of our fur babies! I am trustworthy and care about your pet's welfare and your property! I can even take them out to the Vet, and pick them up! Not only that, and I have small pet crates if needed. I can give them play time, and walks, feedings in your home. My car is also big enough for large dogs.
About: I love all animals and have been dog sitting for a few years now. I have two dogs of my own who are so spoiled! I just recently moved here and don’t have a part time job yet, so I am available almost everyday and have a very flexible schedule. I closely follow any special care instructions you provide and always monitor dogs during playtime, meals, and walks. I’m dependable, responsive, and always happy to share updates, photos, or messages while you’re away—so you can have total peace of mind.
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and other animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and understand that every animal has their own routine, needs, and personality. I also have a background in healthcare and experience working with therapy animals, which has taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and providing calm, compassionate care. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, keeping up with feeding and medication schedules, going on walks, providing playtime, and making sure your pets get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would with you. 🐾❤️ I am a stay at home parent to a 12 year old so when he is at school I am at home doing home chores or walking neighbors dogs. At my home I have a fairly large fenced yard. Morning and late night walks, feeding schedule depends on owners preference. Your fur baby will feel at home at my home.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life !! I currently have two dogs of my own as well. I do some dog training. Sit, stay, lay, shake, crate training, and potty training. I work full time however I get two breaks and only work Monday-Thursday. I work from 8-5 and take a break at 1130 and 2:30. I live in a house and have a closed in fence. I take my dogs for a walk or run every day and will play fetch or tug of war with them in the yard. The dogs get lots of outside time and my girls love having new friends to play with! A kennel is not required but I do ask if you have one to bring it. Since we have our own dogs and also board more than one dog we put them up in the kennel when going to sleep at night.
“Sam did a wonderful job watching my 2 pups. He gave daily updates without me asking with plenty of pictures. The dogs were well taken care of and the house was left in perfect condition. I highly recommend Sam as a sitter!”
“Lucy filed in on short notice for a two week vacation trip. She took good care of our two dogs including one that is very wary of strangers. Our house was immaculate when we returned and our plants were in great shape also.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for 25+ animals, so I’m calm, patient, and confident in situations most sitters aren’t. I don’t just ‘watch’ pets, I understand behavior, routines, and how to keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I’m available for pet care in the evenings after 3 PM on weekdays, with flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to accommodate consistent schedules or last-minute bookings when needed. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I follow all feeding, cleaning, and medication instructions closely, maintain a clean space, and give each pet attention at their comfort level. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

The average cost of House Sitting in Seward is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $40 per night.

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 Seward 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 Seward 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 Seward 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.

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.
