“Absolutely amazing!! We went away for 3 nights to attend my sisters wedding & we’re apprehensive to leave our somewhat new rescue for the first time. We had nothing to worry about!! Lexie was amazing, from the minute we left we got frequent updates & pictures/videos from walks, or even just chilling at home. Mars was so happy & content & I felt relaxed knowing he was in great hands. The house was kept so clean & tidy too. We will have to go away again just so that Mars can spend even more time with his new bestie!”
“Just what I needed! I have two dogs, one of which is a senior requiring medications and more frequent attention in general. Tamara was great with both of my dogs and provided daily updates with photos. I have not needed or used an in house sitter before, but with my first meeting with Tamara, I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. I will definitely request her help again. Highly recommend!!”
“this young lady watched our two dachshunds overnight in our home. one of our dachshunds is handicapped with some paraplegic issues which affect her ability to control her bladder. We keep her in a doggie diaper when inside. she also needs to be lifted up and down so no jumping, stairs, etc. Lyris did an excellent job. she arrived on time, displayed a true caring attitude towards both our pets and us. We returned home to a clean house and two happy dogs. Will definitely call on her again...and again.”
“Destiny was amazing with our dogs! We have 3 dogs which can be a handful at times but she took great care of them. Put my mind at ease day 1 of our trip. Highly recommend and will be booking again in future!”
“Ash did an amazing job keeping me posted about my pups! I felt so much relief having them in her care while I was on vacation. You can tell she is truly an animal lover. 10/10 would use her services again!”
“Mindy is awesome ! She agreed to an early 6:30 am house sitting and was even a tad early ! The puppies recognized her immediately and barely noticed when I left and were napping when I returned. We all feel safe with Mindy and appreciate her.”
“Zed enjoyed his staycation immensely. He was spoiled rotten and got to do all the fun things. Now I wonder if he's secretly hoping I'll leave again, which is better than him getting depressed when I'm gone. Communication was good and the house is just as I left it.”
“Excellent care! The pets were happy and healthy and the house was in great shape when we got back from our 4-day trip. I would absolutely book again and recommend to a friend.”
About: I have had 2-4 pets in my home for my entire life and they have always been cared for lovingly and well. I am consistently trusted to check in on or dog/house sit for family and friends. I am a college student home for the summer so I have full availability during days and nights. I am willing to overnight sit and drop in throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and two small elderly dogs. They are crate trained and can stay separate from the dogs I am dog sitting if needed. They are friendly and low energy. All size dogs welcome for my services!
“Jackie exceeded all expectations while staying in my home caring for my two dogs. She gave extra TLC to the pups and to my home! She was giving endless updates and was very responsive. I would certainly recommend and would definitely rebook again!”
“Raelene took great care of our 2 dogs and home for a week. She was able to balance the needs of our small senior dog and our large golden retriever. She kept us updated and we returned to happy dogs and a clean home. Look forward to booking her again soon.”
“Taylor did an amazing job caring for our 2 dogs. We had a terrible experience with dog sitting (non Rover related) and hadn't left them for a year and a half. This trip was unavoidable, so I searched for the best option and read all the reviews, but when I met Taylor for the meet and greet, I knew she was going to be great. I felt so comfortable with knowing she was here and received lots of pictures and updates. I truly believe she treated our dogs just like her own. We will definitely be booking Taylor for any future dog sitting needs.”
“Shelby was so amazing!! She was so attentive, answered our texts right away, and did everything we we asked of her. She left the house very clean and tidy when she left. Gator absolutely loved her, we swear he was sad when we got home because it wasn’t Shelby. Thank you Shelby and we’ll be booking her again soon!”
About: I am an huge animal lover and dogs are my favorites! I have had different pets growing up but mostly dogs. In the recent years, I have dog-sat my friends’ dogs and had a dog of my own. Unfortunately, my baby passed always from cancer this February. (She on my main photos and on some additional photos)Currently, I am a student and I have a very flexible schedule.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Patrick Shores
Lucy did a great job as our dog sitter. She sent daily photos and updates, which made it easy to relax while we were away. The dogs seemed happy, well cared for, and completely normal when we got back—no issues at all. Even our small dog, who is usually very shy, warmed up to Lucy within minutes, which says a lot. Everything felt easy and stress-free from start to finish. We’d definitely use her again and feel confident leaving the dogs in her care. Awesome experience overall.
I can’t say enough great things about Mason! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in her care. She is incredibly attentive, responsible, and clearly loves what she does. She sent regular updates, photos, and little notes about how things were going, which meant so much while I was away. Penni looked happy, relaxed, and so well cared for the entire time. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can fully trust with my pet. I would absolutely recommend Mason to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Heather was amazing with our boy Kody! She played with him bunches and took him out on several walks. She sent us lots of lovely pictures and videos. She was also very accommodating and was willing to get a visitors pass for the weekend so she could watch our boy since we live on the military base. I would highly recommend her 😊 thanks Heather!
Ashley is a wonderful sitter. She followed the care instructions exactly and spent tons of time at the house while we were away. We got high quality photos and updates at least every morning and night. Watson and Janeway seems happy. Absolutely would book again and recommend it a friend.
Samara was a great house & pet sitter. She took care of everyone with care -- was wonderful to instruct and had exactly the experience she said. I was fully comfortable leaving her with two strong dogs and our old cat and dragon. Our house was probably CLEANER than we left it, and we'd have her take care of our pets anytime again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Patrick Shores
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Patrick Shores on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 675 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Patrick Shores. 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 South Patrick Shores 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 South Patrick Shores 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 South Patrick Shores 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.

- 100% 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.
