“Daniel took AMAZING care of my pets and my home!! I have chickens, an indoor cat, & a 12 month old Great Pyrenees, who is pretty difficult. He is either high strung or napping… there’s no middle ground. Daniel’s calm demeanor was just what was needed to create a successful stay with my dog! He took him walking with other dogs which was great & Daniel seemed to have managed quite well. The hens and kitty appeared to have also been taken care of perfectly! I hope to have Daniel come back and stay for my next getaway! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“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. ❤️🐾”
“Makenna was great! The dogs were well cared for, actually didn’t seem too skip a step while we were gone! This was the first time we’ve had someone come in & stay at the house with our dogs, it couldn’t have gone smoother. We were gone for several days. We’ll definitely have Makenna stay anytime we need Someone again.”
“Kayla is amazingly caring and attentive not only to our precious pup, she took great care of our home while we were gone! Would highly recommend !! So grateful For her kindness and care!”
“Mignon is an excellent dog sitter. We felt very confident that our fur baby was well taken care of. She sent us photos and communicated with us. We will definitely hire her again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! He was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. He had so much patience with all of our animals and treated them with kindness and care. He was always prompt, followed all of our care instructions and guidelines, and made us feel confident that our pets were in great hands. We truly appreciate the attention and compassion he showed, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at my home for the weekend and took great care of my two cats and my senior Shih Tzu, who requires a little extra attention. I came home to happy pets, a tidy house, and complete peace of mind. She communicated well throughout her stay and made everything feel effortless. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Shaun was very engaging with our dog and made sure he was active and well cared for while we were gone. He also took very good care of our home and made sure we were satisfied with its condition before he left. I would recommend Shaun and would be pleased to hire him in the future.”
“Kimberly took excellent care of our pups while we were away. She sent updates and photos during her stay with them. She also took good care of our home. Leaving our dogs can be tough, but she put our minds at ease with her great care and communication. I would highly recommend Kimberly.”
About: Experienced pet sitter and walker with hands-on experience caring for all types of animals, different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I provide dependable, attentive care, exercise, enrichment, and plenty of love. I love spending time with animals! As a part-time pet sitter, I have plenty of flexibility to give your fur babies attention, care, and companionship. I enjoy providing in-home pet care services, keeping your pets comfortable in their own home while following their normal routine, schedule, and individual needs.
About: We’re a husband-and-wife housesitting team who both work remotely, so we’re typically home with your pets for much of the day. We provide companionship while carefully following each pet’s normal routine for meals, potty breaks, walks, exercise, medications, and rest. We understand that being separated from their owners can be stressful for pets. We take time to learn each animal’s personality, comfort cues, and individual needs, and we limit unnecessary time away from the home. You’ll receive dependable daily updates and photos so you can enjoy your trip knowing how everyone is doing. Our experience includes dogs, cats, and horses, and we’re happy to discuss care for small animals and reptiles with clear instructions. Because there are two of us, your pets benefit from additional attention and flexibility throughout the stay. We also treat every client’s home with care, follow household instructions closely, and leave the space clean and tidy. Before accepting a booking, we confirm how long your pets can comfortably be left alone and discuss all care expectations so everyone knows exactly what to expect. We’d love to meet you and your pets! We work remotely in the home of our clients and one of us is always available to give potty breaks, walks, and feedings. We adjust to the dog's routines to make sure as little changes for them as possible. We focus on clarity, cleanliness, and special attention. We treat your dogs and home with respect and leave pets and places better than we found them! We like to maintain a calm environment where pets are not neglected or ignored. We always use leashes outside, lock doors when we leave, keep off-limits rooms shut, never invite people into the home that are not expected by the owner -- common sense. We also put out trash cans, bring in mail, water plants, feed other animals, if it's part of managing your home, we are here to do it.
“Andrea was fantastic! She took great care of Duncan and the house. We received updates with pictures through out the day. You can tell she really puts a lot of time and energy into the animals she cares for. We will definitely contact her for future visits!!”

We love Makinna and so does our MJ. This is our second time having Makinna stay at our house and she is great with MJ she send pictures and updates and is quick to respond to our txt. Our home is just as clean as it was when we left! We will continue to book Makinna in the future.
This was my first time working with Amora. She house sat and did an amazing job. She came and met my pet to ensure that she would be comfortable with his specific needs. Amora accommodated everything that Otis needed and was very prompt with communication. I highly recommend Amora especially if you have a pet with specific needs.
I was very impressed with Kara. After my last sitter left for college, I was concerned about finding the right sitter again for my pets. Kara took away all of my concerns. At the initial meet and greet, I could tell she has a great connection with animals. One of my dogs is usually a little shy around new people. However she immediately ran up to Kara and was wagging her tail. During the actual house sitting, Kara did a great job of communicating daily with me. She sent multiple photos which is always appreciated. At the end of the day, Kara is professional and kind. She left my house in the same condition as she found it. She loved on my pets as if they were her own. As someone who travels frequently, it makes me happy to know I have a qualified and professional pet/house sitter to rely on when I am gone.
We couldn’t be happier! She communicated everyday and sent us pictures of our pup to see how he was doing; we didn’t even have to ask! She also left our house clean and tidy. We will definitely be booking again with Trinity in the future! Very reliable and caring.
Quinn was so caring and respectful to our fur babies that we are hoping to continue hiring him in the future! He came over twice beforehand to get our two dogs familiar with him. He kept us posted daily, sent pictures, re-assured us, and was ultra concerned for our high-anxiety doodle that wouldn’t eat. Quinn even cleaned up when the doodle puked twice, asking us where he could find carpet shampoo. I certainly didn’t expect him to do all that. We couldn’t even tell he was in our home for 3 days. I highly recommend him!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Star on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 938 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Star. 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 Star 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 Star 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 Star 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Star. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
