“Our dog took to Hailey immediately and throughout our trip, she has sent us pictures and kept us updated. Highly recommend, but wait until I book her next visit before you do!”
“If I could give more stats, I would! Jalen was amazing! He sent photos and videos every day, made sure my guy was well taken care of and had companionship while I was gone. Winston has back problems and Jalen was so kind with all of my “please don’t let him..” requirements to prevent further injury. I will absolutely be a returning customer!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs and puppies, having been exposed to various temperaments and breeds over the years. I frequently provide dog sitting and walking services for my neighbors. I am employed part-time in order to dedicate ample time to the care of your pets. I am capable of flexibly modifying my schedule to accommodate your requirements. All the dogs under my care must be trained to walk on a leash. If necessary, I am capable of crating your dog. I consistently ensure that all doors are securely locked.
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats of all ages since the age of nine. My son is 13 and a very big cat lover! He will not be assisting with pet care, but does reside in the home. We have two cats Everest(8) and Harley(5), and one dog Layla(1). Our home features two large automatic litter boxes, one 5ft scratching post with other small ones throughout the home, enrichment toys, beds, pet blankets, and two filtered water fountains available 24 hours a day. Both cats are on feeding schedules, so your baby will also need to be on a schedule- we can discuss what times work best for your pet! Layla is crate trained and does not free roam without supervision. We also have a spare bedroom for pets that need some time to adjust or need more space away from all the uncertainties of a new home. We will treat your baby like our own and accommodate, so they can feel at ease! *Currently taking the month of September off from my primary job, so will be entirely available for bookings through Rover. I work 4-5 days a week, 5-6 hour days. My schedule can be altered as needed because my pets are just as important as any other family member. My pets are very well cared for and prioritized just as any living being should be. They are treated with kindness and care with regular checkups and special care catered to their individual personalities.
About: I’ve fostered my friends dogs with full care for the past 2 years. Everything including play time, feeding, sleep time and outside care, unlimited scratchies I’m working mostly nights, so I have weekday availability all week long before 4 pm. Some nights I’m off too and happy to take care of your fur babies overnight I don’t have any pets or children so my main priority would be your fur baby. I’m a really caring and devoted person so I’ll make sure your fur baby feels as safe and loved as possible
“Lynn was great and we’d ask her back in a heartbeat! Our two dogs had a great weekend with Lynn — they clearly had gotten lots of pets and attention while we were out. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve had experience watching dogs for my entire life. I know how to give medicine, including injections, to dogs and cats. I am also certified in first aid and have completed a “Stop the Bleed” course. I’m available most days with a few days notice. I am able to come over and walk your dogs or just spend time with your pets. I can easily come to you and do whatever is needed. Walks, feedings, etc. I am very attentive and love to play with your pets.
About: I have grown up with a mix of big and little dogs my whole life. I am comfortable with up to four dogs at a time. Comfortable with puppies and dogs with lots of energy. I'm currently taking classes at TCC. I work at a restaurant at the oceanfront at night. And I tend to split up my time between Norfolk and Virginia Beach pretty evenly. But I love animals, and I'm so happy to help people take care of them. I’ve grown up with a variety of animals, including reptiles. I feel comfortable with almost any animal. And I have no fear. I’ve also grown up with some special-needs animals like diabetic cats and stuff like that.
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends and family members have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets while they’re away, and I always treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading behavior, whether a dog is high-energy, shy, or needs extra care. I’m also CPR certified and have experience working with children, which has taught me to stay calm, responsible, and attentive in situations where safety and trust matter most. I understand how important communication is, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is safe and cared for. I’m a full-time student and work full-time, but I keep a consistent and organized schedule to make sure I can give pets the attention they need. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, especially in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I respect your home and keep everything clean and secure while you’re away. I’m also CPR certified and experienced in handling responsibility through my work with children, which means I stay calm, aware, and prepared in situations where safety matters. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet and home are in good hands.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets, including pet sitting for family friends and friends’ pets. I’m responsible, caring, and experienced with providing pets with the attention, care, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I work part-time currently, so I am able to fit pet care into my schedule mornings and/or nights. I will definitely share my schedule to figure out what time(s)/date(s) works best for the both of us! I decided not to care for pets at my home because my dog is an only dog and is not a huge fan of other dogs. When taking care of your pet at your home, I will ensure that whatever makes you feel comfortable in your dog receiving the best care that I will take extra precaution as our fur babies are just like our children.
“Sam was an incredible house sitter for our three dogs over the busy 4th of July weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first message, Sam was responsive, professional, and genuinely enthusiastic about caring for our furry crew. He asked all the right questions about their routines, favorite toys, feeding schedules, and even their individual personalities, which immediately put us at ease. We came home to happy, well-exercised, and totally relaxed dogs who clearly had a blast. Sam sent daily updates with photos and videos, so we never worried once. The house was spotless, all the plants were watered, and he even left a little note thanking us for trusting him with our babies. Our dogs (including our anxious rescue) were calm and content when we returned — a huge win! Sam is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your pets and home, look no further. We’ll be booking Sam again without hesitation for future trips. Thank you so much, Sam — you’re a 10/10!”
“Adam was fantastic! I was nervous leaving my dog with someone he had only met once before (for a meet and greet) but everything went so smoothly. He was a great communicator and very courteous.”

I can provide a safe, reliable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise routines, and household rules.

When caring for pets, I prioritize their comfort and safety by monitoring their behavior, securing doors and gates, avoiding unsafe situations, and ensuring they receive appropriate exercise and enrichment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to maintain their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them happy."

I work part time on weekends and am currently on summer break from engineering school. I wake up early and have a open schedule. I'll work around you! I keep an animal friendly house, although I do not have a back yard. I'm more of a dog walker than a sitter for the time being.
“Before booking Monika, I was pretty nervous about leaving Rosie with someone I didn’t know. I felt so much better after our meet and greet because of how sweet and professional she was. Throughout the whole process of being away Monika was very communicative, providing ample pictures and Rosie updates. I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better person to watch Rosie. I highly recommend her as a top quality caregiver for anyone’s pup!”

“Look no further for a responsible, caring and phenomenal pet sitter. Anastasia took care of our home, German shepherd, cat, and fish while we were gone halfway around the world to Africa for over a week. She sent us pictures every day, ensuring our peace of mind so we could enjoy our travel. I cannot recommend her highly enough - she is the best you will ever find out there!!”

Steven did an excellent job looking after my little Yorkie. He kept me updated daily with pictures. I was always reassured so I was able to enjoy my trip without any guilt. I've never had a pet sitter become so attached to my dog. I highly recommend him and will definitely be using him in the future.
Erika was fantastic! First time hiring her. She was great with our pup. She was super responsive and made us feel really comfortable being away! She made pup feel comfortable too. She treated our house with respect and was very professional. Highly recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in Sigma is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $45 per night.

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 Sigma 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 Sigma 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 Sigma 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
