“Melissa was easy to communicate with, both for scheduling a meet and greet and then also booking for the rare trip that we couldn't take the pups along on! We appreciate how well cared for the dogs were, that she took time to walk both of them and send updates and just generally spend time with them ☺️ thousand percent recommend Melissa as a sitter and hope to be able to book her again in the future!”
“Allison was amazing! this was my first time leaving my puppy alone and doing this app and she cleared all my worries. i got constant messages and videos/pictires!! i couldn’t recommend her enough!!!”
“Emma is a fantastic dog sitter/house sitter! She was quick to reply to my initial request and suggested a meet and greet to see if it would be a good fit. She spent almost 2 hours getting to know Ruthie, my 8yr old Shepherd mix. Almost immediately, Ruthie felt calm and relaxed with Emma and I knew I would have nothing to worry about. While I was away Emma provided daily updates and pics of a happy pup, which left me feeling even more certain that Ruthie was in great hands. Highly recommended!”
“When I tell you I am sooooooooo blessed to have found these young ladies!!!!! Love love love them!!!! They treat our pups like their own! Our pups love them as well! Thank you again we truly appreciate you both!”
“Hannah recently watched our golden retriever and Siamese cat rescue while we were away for a wedding, and from start to finish we couldn't be more impressed. From the very first meeting, her professionalism and compassion was what really stood out - she immediately was able to put our pets (and us!) at ease. When we came back, our babies were in excellent spirits and we found our home looking better than we left it, which was very much appreciated. Hannah is a rare find - reliable, professional, and genuinely kind-hearted. We will definitely be booking her again and cannot recommend her enough to any pet parents looking for peace of mind.”
“Pam is good person. She clearly stated her top priority was doing right by our cats. She spent three nights at our home and left it as tidy as she found it. She is fantastic and she will be our number one cat and home sitter at Rover”
“Gervon in a tremendous Dogsitter. He was communicative, kind, and attentive. He accommodated the medical needs of our pets, too. He even cleaned the sheets before he left! We highly recommend Gervon.”
About: As a pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet feels secure! I currently work full-time but love spending my free time caring for animals! I'm primarily available during weekday evenings and on weekends for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their established routines, follow all care instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I also believe communication is key! I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring hands.
“Stephanie did a wonderful job for me. My almost-senior cat, Hazelnut, took to her, “shadowing” her. Stephanie did all that I had asked and then some. She followed feeding cat feeding protocol to the letter in addition to watering plants, and even trash/recycling management. Stephanie was very respectful of my home. I highly recommend Stephanie.”
“Crissy was absolutely fantastic! I got pictures and updates on my pup, daily. She took such great care of our girl and my flowers look better than when I am home! My dog is anxious one and she loved Crissy. We will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, my own family has also been dog and cat sitting throughout my childhood. I love animals and find I can bond with most pets easily! Super active so I can also catch up with most pets. Working part time, usually 2-3 days a week with very flexible hours. Leaves plenty of time for pet play and exercise if needed. Work hours are usually midday, so would be available mornings and evenings. I go based on your preferences! Can walk pets on leash, play with them indoors, play with them in fenced areas, or transport them to parks etc.

Your dog will always be treated like family :) I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule and I’m available mornings-early evenings. I will always give you an update at the end of a visit :) In my clients' homes, I follow their established routines and guidelines to provide a seamless experience for the pet. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and comfort, respecting the client's home while giving their pets the attentive care they deserve. Whether at my place or theirs, my focus is on making pets feel secure, happy, and well-cared for.
“Chelsea was fantastic. We had to leave for a long trip for almost 3 weeks to the far east. I couldn’t not imagine boarding our dog for this long of a time. Chelsea not only house sat for us but took great care of our aging husky lab mix dog for the whole time. She made us feel at ease with daily pictures and checking in and we knew that our dog Bodie was well cared for. Finding someone to trust with our house and our dog for this long of a time was very stressful prior to leaving. Chelsea made it very easy on us. She is professional and truly cares. I couldn’t not be thankful enough that we found Chelsea on Rover. I would definitely use her again.”

Victoria really helped me out when I needed a last minute dog sitter and for a more complex sitting arrangement to boot. I currently have two dogs who are still getting used to each other and so need to be kept separate, and she had no problem navigating their situation!
Elizabeth is fantastic. I’ve used her overnight services multiple times, and I’m thrilled every single time. She is always my first choice in a pet sitter. Great communication, follows any rules 100%, is mindful of being in your home and leaving it actually better than I left it, and makes wise decisions. My dog Pippa loves her!!
Bear and Sparky were very well cared for by Corrie! They were happy and healthy upon our return. Sparky was looking around for Corrie.🐶. Our house was in good order upon return, even folded laundry on the bed. Glad we had some doggie photos and connection with Corrie while traveling. It helped a lot to know they were doing just fine!
Karenna went above and beyond expectations- she agreed to meet and get to know my reactive dog who needs the time to get to know someone before being left alone. We schedule multiple drop ins prior to her house sitting and the weekend went very smoothly. Took great care of both our dogs and our home. Highly recommended!
Victoria became fast friends with our dog, Oscar! Her care was exceptional, even brushing his teeth and administering medications. She communicated with us daily with photos and updates. She even washed and changed towels and linens, and watered our numerous plants. She’s a winner!
Sabrina stayed with my 3 dogs and cat for a week. She took wonderful care of them and the house. She was very responsive, cleaned up everything she used, and even painted adorable pictures of all the animals for us during her stay. Definitely would hire again as she took great care of our needy crew and recommend to anyone else!
Sadie was wonderful!! 10/10! My dogs loved her. She was so proactive and offered to come for a visit to meet them but respectful and also said she could do just a phone call. The dogs just loved her. She sent updates and the most beautiful pictures of them. She went above and beyond! Will use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sherwood is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $71 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.
As of November 2026, there are 3,041 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sherwood. 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 Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sherwood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
