“Barbara was wonderful. She did overnight sitting for our four dogs. She kept us updated with pictures every day which we loved. She left the house and plants in great condition. We came home to four happy fur babies. Taking care of four dogs is not easy but they all settled right in with her. I would highly recommend her.”
“Omg! I cannot ask for a better pet sitter. Maria is a sweetheart and made us feel very secure watching Lucy while we were away. She is very communicative! We really loved that she kept updating us with pictures. I highly recommend booking her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“We were really anxious about our first dog/house sitting gig, but Mack did a great job with our 3 needy and spoiled pups. We were gone for 5 nights. She sent many photos, and my pups loved her. We have 2 dogs that require medications, and she followed the instructions to the letter. Our house looked great when we got home, and my pups were excited to see us - but not overly so - which lets me know that they really enjoyed their time with her. I highly recommend her, and we will definitely use her again.”
“Sooz is literally THE BEST! She is so sweet to my babies and has taken wonderful care of my home. She is reliable, dependable and always provides updates/pics 🩷🩷”
“Adam was fantastic, I highly recommend him! He is extremely friendly and I can tell how much he cares for animals. He took great care of our pup and house, and definitely eased my anxiety over leaving for a week. He was very communicative and I loved the pics he sent for updates!”
About: Hi there! My name is Lola and I am looking to help people out in the community with dog walking and sitting! Love taking care of dogs any size. I enjoy spending time outside and hiking. I’ve been around dogs for 10+ years and know how to work with them. I already have two dogs so I know how to set a routine with taking care of them. I enjoy having a full schedule with working and taking care of dogs. Especially with loving dogs so much! For my pets at home I take them on walks, go outside, feed them good quality food, and keep up with vet visits. For taking care of dogs in client’s homes I will be sure to respect the environment and adhere to the owner’s guidelines for taking care of their pet.
“Jordan was great with my two dogs, one a 5 month old Dane puppy! She handles them with ease and I felt such reassurance that they were in good hands! Shining recommendations!”
“Abi was very faithful in spending quality time with my older beagle. She shared photos, updates, and even gave me a summary of their time together. I would highly recommend Abi as a pet sitter! She was wonderful.”
“Kay was wonderful and took great care of my house and my pup, even going above and beyond his usual activity requirements. She is very reliable and communicated with me very well about any going ons.”
About: I love dogs all of all ages and sizes! I have lots of experience with puppies and labs. I volunteer for 2 dog rescue groups, and have helped 6 dogs find their "furever" homes. I am a stay at home mom, and I have lots of time and love to give to all God's creatures! I have lots of experience with dogs who need extra attention and love, and I can't wait to make your dog part of my dog adventures. I am not very cat experienced, but I do enjoy cats. My children and 1 year old yellow lab love dogs! My lab is playful, but also laid back, and my children are very good with all types of dogs! I can't wait to meet your pet!
“I recommend Dani to take care of your fur babies, I was very nervous leaving my fur baby and she took such good care of him as if he was her own. We will definitely use her again.”
“Serena was a wonderful sitter. She sent lots of updates, videos, and pictures so l knew my pups were in good hands and to help me miss them a little less. I highly recommend Serena. I will definitely be booking with her in the future when needed!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with cats and have always loved caring for them, which naturally led me to want to expand my experience with dogs as well. I began working at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different personalities, needs, medications, and energy levels. Today, I’m fortunate to make a living doing what I love—caring for other people’s pets. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention, a calm companion, or simply some extra love while you’re gone, I’m happy to provide dependable and compassionate care. Your pets will always be treated with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I work full-time with dogs at a daycare facility and usually work second shift, so I have my mornings and afternoons free to hang out with your furry friend! We can spend the day going on walks, playing, getting some good snuggles in, and of course, taking plenty of naps. Then I’ll be back in the evening for dinner time, more cuddles, and some cozy bedtime company! When I’m caring for your pets in their home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible! I’ll follow all of the instructions you leave for me, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any little routines or preferences that help your pet feel at home. I’ll also make sure they have plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I’ll send you regular photo and care updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing and have peace of mind while you’re gone! I’m respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and tidy. Most importantly, I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
“Heather and Spencer did a great job! We received constant updates! They both are so friendly and took such great care of our pups. We would hire them again for sure!”
About: 🐾 Your pup’s new favorite walking buddy! 🐾 I’m an active, reliable, and big-hearted dog lover who believes every pup deserves plenty of exercise, attention, and belly rubs! Whether your dog loves a neighborhood stroll, a fun adventure on nature trails, or simply some extra playtime and cuddles, I’m here to make sure they have the best time. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own—with lots of love, patience, and care. Let’s get those tails wagging! 🐶💛🌿 I’m an early riser and start my days early, and I’d love to bring your pup with me! My favorite and preferred dog walking times, however, are any time in the evenings! I come supplied with doggie bags and treats! But please let me know if your pup has any allergies. I’ve been caring for my sweet lab, Bella, for almost 10 years. 😊 I can spend as much time as needed to make your dog feel safe and loved!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Speedwell is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $28 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.

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 Speedwell 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 Speedwell 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 Speedwell 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 Speedwell. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
