“I was able to go camping for a weekend and know that my dog was very well loved and taken care of as if I was still there. Emilee sent a bunch of pictures to update me on how my pup was doing and made sure my place looked the same as when I left. If you need someone to trust with your dog, Emilee is your person.”
About: I am a responsible young adult that makes connections with every pet I see. I follow directions, exceed expectations and give great experiences for the pets. I have taken care of 4 litters of puppies, dogs ranging from bernese mountain dogs to dachshunds, and multiple cats. I am a hard working college student who wants to own multiple businesses some day including and dog sitting one. Pet care fits into my daily routine because as a college student I have plenty of time in between and after classes to do what I love. I have been doing pet care for many years and it comes naturally to me. I love to be outdoors and walking dogs will allow me to do that. Making connections with pets is special to me as I am really good with animals. I will care for clients pets the same way I care for my own. Depending on the pet’s personality type I will give as much attention as possible, lots of playtime, and walks. But, on the other hand if their personality is more relaxed I might let them do what they want while still being there for them.
“Sara was a great sitter for our 2 younger dogs. House in good shape when we returned as well. She was flexible to stay a little overtime when our return flights got delayed. Would certainly use Sara again.”
“Ashley was pretty much the best house sitter i have had in a very long time. My cat was very well taken care of, she sent plenty of updates, kept my home in good order and even left me a thank you card and drew a picture of my cat by hand for me :) Will be using her again!!!”
“Wendy did a wonderful job and we were able to take a 3 day vacation knowing that our little "older" dog was in good hands. She does an awesome job of sending you photos and letting you know your pet is following their normal routine and enjoying the time they spend with her. We would recommend her to anyone who has a pet that normally takes a while to warm up to new people. The first time Wendy met Chip, it was "love at first sight". Thank you Wendy!”
About: I’ve owned, loved, and cared for dogs my entire life, including seniors and rescue dogs. One of my dogs lived to be **19 years old**. I rescued her after her previous owner moved to France, and she even understood commands in both **French and English!** She spent her senior years being loved and spoiled alongside my Havanese, Bella. I rescued **Bella at six months old**, and I’ve had the pleasure of spoiling her ever since. She is 13 now. She’s still going strong and remains one of the sweetest dogs I know. I’m also very comfortable caring for larger dogs. I love my daughters’ Boxer and Pit Bull mix and frequently care for them—even letting them pile into bed with me at night. Dogs seem to communicate with us in their own way, and I’ve always felt that I understand them well. **Your dog wouldn’t just be a job to me—they would be treated like family.** As a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver, I will ensure your pets receive plenty of attention, affection, patience, and love—and will be treated like family. I am currently semi-retired and therefore have plenty of time to pet-sit and the flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I'm available on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard to accommodate small to medium dogs. We have lots of sidewalks for sniffing the roses and other lovely scents along the way. My home is casual and very dog-friendly. I also live in a gated, well-lit neighborhood in case your dog needs to go out at night.
“I was extremely impressed with Alex! She took such amazing care of our fur babies and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She was super communicative and sent me daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. When I got home, both dogs were happy, content, and clearly very well cared for. Thank you so much, Alex! We truly appreciate you loving on our babies like they were your own. ❤️🐾”
“Jen was wonderful! The boys seemed to really like her. She stayed 2 nights was respectful of our house and left it clean. I would recommend her and we'll be calling her again for our next trip!”
“Atticus did a wonder job housesitting and caring for my dog Hazel. She kept me updated with pictures and reports of their days together. Hazel seemed happy and well cared for and my house was as neat and clean as when I left. I highly recommend Atticus and I look forward to having her housesit for me again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs received! He was flexible with scheduling, communicated regularly so we always knew how things were going, and his rates are very reasonable. He’s also incredibly adaptive; he noticed things that needed attention and handled them on his own without having to ask, like cleaning up messes without missing a beat. You can tell he genuinely cares about the well-being of the animals in his care. Our dogs were happy and loved, and that’s all we could ask for. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Arianna and Trevor have stayed the night to watch our dog a few times, and we love having them take care of her and our home. They're very responsive, responsible, and easy to get along with. Definitely would recommend!!”
“Just don’t even know where to start. Jessica and her family go above and beyond with every stay. She’s exceptional about communicating with pictures and daily updates, and even an unanticipated vet visit was handled in stride, leaving us with come confidence in her care. Exceptional!!”
“This was our second time booking Erin and it was just as great as the first time. Erin took amazing care of our three dogs. The dogs were relaxed and content when we returned. Erin is very professional and capable which sets our minds at ease We so appreciate being able to leave our dogs in the hands of someone we trust! Thank you Erin!”
“This woman is an incredible dog walker and person. Immediately felt comfortable with her after meeting and the animals LOVE her. Polite, progressional, empathetic and an animal lover. Would recommend to any pet owner for dog walking or house sitting.”
“Makinna took care of our 2 dogs for a week while we were gone. We came home to 2 happy dogs and a clean house. She communicated with us while we were out of town and made sure we knew the dogs were taken care of.”
“Arica was an incredible dog sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was so kind, patient, and caring with our dog, who can be a little anxious at times. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent, and she was always reliable and thoughtful. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our dog like he was her own. We’re so grateful for everything she did and are already looking forward to having her watch him again in the future. 100% recommend!!”
“If we could give Brooke and Dylan more than 5 stars we would. They went above and beyond for our puppy Knox. They sent us daily updates and photos and even left a journal of his walks, feeding times, and potty breaks. We never worried once while we were gone and knew he was well taken care of. We will definitely be using them again!!”
“Kristi is wonderful! The moment she came to meet my two dogs, I knew she was a true animal lover. My dogs can be a bit overwhelming at first but her calmness was very evident. Her communication was excellent with several updates and pictures. I enjoyed my short trip so much more knowing my dogs were being taken care of so well. My home was so clean and my pups were happy when I got home. I will definitely use Kristi again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sonna
Daniel took such great care of our girl! We felt so at ease knowing she was well cared for, and definitely spoiled, while we were gone. She needed medication, and he handled all of it. Our house was also in great shape when we returned. We’re so grateful for the care he gave her and would absolutely recommend him!
Francisco was awesome. He took care of Zamby and also tried to work on some of her bad habits. He sent pics and communications to keep us informed. He kept the house clean and even watered my plants. We appreciated all of his efforts. We would recommend him to others.
Ashley was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my two dogs and my house. I have a senior dog who has to take meds and she took care of it all. I would definitely have Ashley back again. My dogs were happy and my home was beautiful when I got home. She even left a hand-drawn picture of my two dogs and it was beautiful. She is a very special person.

The average cost of House Sitting in Sonna is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $68 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 Sonna 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 Sonna 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 Sonna 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.
