“Kadence was terrific with our babies. We were out of the country but she sent updates, photos and a video. She stayed at our house and took great care of our pups. She’s been very reliable and my dogs love her. We will definitely use her for our next trip!”
“Diana was wonderful watching Barney for a house sit when I was out of town for a few days. She provided very frequent updates with pictures and my home was in the same condition if not nearer than when I left..”
“Wow- Wendy is so kind and thorough that we were blown away. She kept us totally updated on our dogs, loved on them so much, and left the house absolutely perfect. By far the best sitter we have found through Rover. Cannot thank her enough!”
“Megan was amazing with my pets and my home! She easily followed instructions for my three and their different eating habits, their potty and play schedule, and she even got them new toys! I’m so happy I found someone in the area reasonably priced, great with my pets, who treats them as well as I do. I will always call Megan first when I need a sitter!”
“Denise did a wonderful job home/pet-sitting. She was very prompt for feeding times, making sure everyone went out, and responsive to texts. When we returned, we were greeted with the normal happy to see you rather than ' we've been ignored while you were away.' This is always a great indicator to us. We'll definitely check Denise's schedule for or next excursion.”
“Julian was the best! Super communicative and send doggie updates daily. He followed the instructions I left behind to a T. He was also on time and punctual. I would absolutely recommend him and will be booking with him again!”
“Maria was great! She took great care of my golden (Wally), sent lots of pics, and provided excellent communication throughout her stay with him. I would fully recommend her and would not hesitate to have her stay with Wally again.”

“This is our first time using Heather and she was great! She was really good with Otis, attentive to all his needs and took great care of our home over the three days we were out of town. Absolutely no worries! I will definitely book with Heather again.”
“Jessica did a wonderful job with our two dogs while we were away. She was prompted with the request, meet and greet and booking. She provided several updates and photos while we were gone. We will most defiantly utilize her services again.”
“Colleen did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs, Daisy and Duke. She was able to walk them several times a day since we do not have a yard to let them out in. And she stayed the night with them which helped Daisy who is our anxious and sensitive dogs. They were both seemed to love her and apparently she got some good snuggles! We will book with her again.”
“Lori stayed with our sweet girl for a week. We are so very grateful for the way she cared for Zoe. Zoe was one happy girl with Lori! She has little habits and Lori followed through with them. She provided daily photos and notes. Very refreshing to have someone that cares about your pet the way you do! Thank you Lori!”
“Kristina was incredible! We hired her for in home sitting for our two older dogs and she is exactly what they needed. I can always tells when my oldest dog is unhappy with a sitter, because he’s unable to relax when they are there and is exhausted when we get home. That was not the case at all when Kristina was there! He was fully perky and ready to hang out when we walked in the door, which shows me how comfortable he was with her. I will 100% be booking with Kristina again.”
“Lucy was amazing! She was super responsive to all our messages and very attentive to our dog, Blue. She walked him several times each day, spending lots of time at our house to make sure he received all the love and playing that he needed while we were traveling.”
“Kya took care of our pup in our home for 5 days while we went on vacation and she was awesome! She is so kind, responsive, and most importantly she took great care of our girl! Kya also took good care of our home! Will recommend her to everyone we know, and will definitely be requesting her for future care!”
“Christa was PHENOMENAL! She took such great care of our puppies. She was flexible to all of their unique needs and puppy behaviors while sticking to their routine. Christa was also very communicative, professional, and kind. She made it feel natural to not worry about the pups because we knew they were in good hands.”

Peter & Dulcea ate the best!! They watched Enzo for us for the second time and Enzo just loves them. They are super sweet dog lovers and they truly enjoy taking care of our puppy. We highly recommend them and plan to use them for all our future dog sitting needs.
This was our first time having Logan stay with our pups and cat and will not be the last. She was amazing and brought me great peace of mind knowing our fur babies were being well cared for while we were away. Thank you Logan and we look forward to having you again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sharpes on Rover is $30 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,345 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sharpes. 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 Sharpes 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 Sharpes 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 Sharpes 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.

- 97% 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.
