“When I met Sir, I found him to be courteous, kind and attentive. He asked several questions about our pets including their needs, likes and dislikes. He interacted with them and they seemed very comfortable in his company. During his house sitting we found him to be dependable and communicative. We received several texts and pictures letting us know how things were going and what is plans were that day. Our Tippy requires medicine application twice daily and Sir made sure to let us know his medication had been given. His interactions and attention to our pets was top notch! He cleaned before he left. We found Sir to be responsible, trustworthy, and his care of our pets gave us great peace of mind. We will use his services again in September and highly recommend him to care for your beloved pets.”
“Thanks to Greg we were finally able to go away without our needy pets. We were able to relax because Greg did a great job of connecting with our pets and communicating with us. He followed all of our detailed instructions and cleaned up like he was never here. We hope to hire Greg again for more housesitting. His care is much appreciated.”
“JonJon was amazing. He went above and beyond in everything he did. He spent so much time, cuddling the cats and made sure everything was taken care of every day, including medication. I felt confident and comfortable in his ability to manage the cats and the medication and everything else that went along with it. So kind and thoughtful. You can tell he loves spending time with my cats, which is just so great.”
“Katie was great - responsive, friendly, and the animals (a dog and 2 cats) were all well cared for while we were away and clearly very comfortable with Katie. We will use here again without hesitation.”
About: I have own and bred dogs. I love to play, talk and have fun with them. I am an on and off dog walker and sitter. I look forward to meeting your best friend. I take care if them as if they were my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available to walk and be around animals 24x7. No barriers at this time to keep pets. I can care for animals in my home, walk them, I can care for crated animals as well. I walk dogs every 3 hours depending on the size of their bladder.
About: I don’t discriminate against any type of breed. I care for them as they are my own . There is no problem for me in giving medications, if needed. I currently work full time . They would be taken care of in the morning, if needed at lunch time . Once done my normal work day, then I would go back to them for however long was needed . In the clients home : We would play, go for walks if the dog enjoys them . I like to snuggle and sit with them, I will converse with them . I always make sure they have fresh water .
“Jillian went above and beyond for our dogs during her housesitting visit. She sends tons of photos, spends lots of time with the dogs during overnights, and goes out of her way to make sure they have plenty of treats. We all adore Jillian!”
“Did an amazing job with my dog and cat during the 2-week long overnight stay at my place. They gave lots of updates and photos which helped me feel more at ease leaving my pets. They also cleaned up after themselves when they were done, which was really appreciated after getting back from a long trip! Absolutely would recommend them!”
About: My apartment complex has a side yard with plenty of space throughout it. I have a couple dog parks nearby, a courtyard and neighborhoods within a few feet that are all dog friendly. I usually let the dogs roam freely in the apartment. I am currently working remotely so taking frequent breaks wouldn’t be a issue. I am able to show the dogs lots of attention throughout the day. I have experience working with special needs dogs, older dogs and puppies. My expertise allows me to care for each dog as if it were my own. My schedule is extremely flexible, giving me more time for your pups! I am available for boarding during the week and some weekends. I can stop pass and do walks and feeding for your pups during the week at anytime. I have a gated yard and my own friendly dog to keep your dog company. I also have 3 dog parks nearby to take the dogs to walk and play.
“I've had Peter petsit for a year or two now, and he's fantastic. He's responsive, timely, trustworthy, and communicative. You can tell he really cares about the animals and treats them like family. Peter goes above and beyond, and he's helped us with a crisis or two while we were out of town. He did really well with my reactive dog (who loved him despite being aloof with most people) as well as my new puppy. Peter is my go-to for pet care and once you hire him, I'm sure he'll be yours too!”
About: I love dogs and I have had family members with dogs as pets my entire life, including Pitbulls and Rottweilers. I love playing with them and am a great companion! Currently, I have very open availability. I am available mostly every day of the week Mon-Fri and most times of the day, depending upon enough notice. I can provide walks and as much or as little activity as your pet requires. I can provide drop-ins for feeding and/or medication, companionship, or supervision.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, and I have raised two dogs myself along with my wife. I’ve also watched plenty of friends pets while they are out of town I work remote, so I often have free gaps throughout the day when I can take my dogs on walks or stop by for a visit. I have two incredibly friendly golden retrievers, but there is also plenty of space in my house along with a yard in case pets need space.
“Amazing! Aside from the adorable videos that Natalie shared during her two night stay with my dog Nola, she absolutely left the house beautiful!! Such a relief after a long trip. And Nola was so happy and totally herself when I got home, so she clearly enjoyed being able to stay in her normal environment and hang out with someone who gave her all of the attention that she craves! I will ABSOLUTELY be using Natalie for my future overnight and dog walk needs!!”
“Olivia was great! My pets all seemed very happy when she sent pictures, and our house was in great shape when she left. I would definitely hire her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sewell
Monica was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home and took amazing care of our dogs, following every instruction perfectly and treating them with so much love. She was very communicative throughout her stay, which gave us total peace of mind, and she kept our house in great shape too! She came ahead of time for a meet‑and‑greet, which we really appreciated and I could see right away how much my dogs already liked her! The whole experience was fantastic, and we would definitely book Monica again without hesitation. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter!
Nicole was very nice and easy to talk to when I met her. The dogs were very comfortable being around her upon introduction. They were content and happy when I returned from my trip. They didn’t seem stressed in the least, which tells me she took excellent care of them. The house was treated with care too. I will definitely ask her to stay with my dogs again.
Here’s a concise and heartfelt version: Everyone loves a vacation, but leaving your dog behind is never easy. Amy made the entire process seamless and gave us complete peace of mind. Sloane was clearly loved and well cared for, and we came home to a spotless house. I would use her again for a drop-in or overnight stays in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sewell is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Sewell 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 Sewell 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 Sewell 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
