“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. ❤️🐾”
“Makinna did a fantastic job with our pups while we were gone for our daughter's wedding. She send pics and updates regularly. I didn't worry about a thing at home, and the dogs and house were cared for as if they were her own. 100% recommend Makinna!”
“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!!”
“So glad I found Mignon to watch my sweet Chloe. Mignon took great care of her with daily walks and left the house looking wonderful and clean. When I walked in the house Mignon had the TV on which showed a picture of a sweet puppy sleeping with soothing music for my pup to enjoy. She also made homemade dog treats. Mignon is super reliable and highly recommended.”
“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.”
“Arianna & Trevor are the best. They take excellent care of our dog, they are on time and great at communicating, keeping our minds at ease. We really appreciate their flexibility & support!”
“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.”
About: I grew up with dogs and ever since I was a kid they were my passion. I started off at 15 as a dog bather at a grooming salon. I also have 1 year of doggy Daycare and boarding experience. I’m now currently working at a petstore/grooming salon Again! I’ve never met a dog I couldn’t click with. I know how to identify stress and anxiety or injury on your pups with just a glance. I am also very experienced in handling altercations with other dogs such as dog fights. Another skill of mine with dogs is knowing how to handle senior pups, I have a rescue senior myself and have taken care of seniors dogs at every job of mine and they’re always my favorites<3 Let me meet your fur babies :)! I am currently waiting on the new woofgang grooming location to open in eagle so my schedule currently is fully open for dog sitting and walking! I can do anything to take care of your pup in your house. I know how to make complicated food recipes and distribute meds. I can safely kennel your dog if instructed and I know how to handle kennel aggression/anxiety. I will always keep an eye on your dog while they’re using the bathroom, making sure they’re healthy and happy, I’ll report back anything concerning (bloody stool, vommiting etc) Plus I give the best fur baby cuddles :)!
“Penny was wonderful, our little kitty was very well taken care of! We got photos and updates daily, and they even checked our mail and brought in packages for us. On top of all that, the house was sparkling clean when we got home. Will definitely rebook!”
“Amy was absolutely FABULOUS with our 2 dogs and 2 cats while my husband and I were out of town. I am usually very anxious being away from them, but Amy sent updates often and it really made me feel so at ease. I will definitely be reaching out to Amy for pet sitting needs in the future, and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome sitter.”
“Sara was a responsible and conscientious dog and house sitter. She willingly took on the task of staying with my 14 month old Labrador Retriever in our home so he would be in a familiar environment and experience less stress, having recently been diagnosed with a heart condition. After meeting in person, I felt comfortable hiring her for the 4 day stay. She provided daily updates. Additionally, if she had a question or concern she was quick to communicate about that. Sara was very kind in her demeanor and interaction with my pup. She has a positive personality and seems to look for and celebrate the positive in each day & situation. I appreciated the reassurance of knowing my pup was well cared for and my home secure.”
“Ali house sat for me and took wonderful care of Bear. She sent regular updates and photos, so I never had to wonder how he was doing, and she followed all my instructions for his routine. I could tell Ali genuinely loves dogs. Communication was easy and reliable the whole time. I'd book her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. Growing up out in the country we had up to 20 something cats at one time. They each had a name and I knew who each one of them were. Since then I’ve cared for numerous cats and dogs over the years from kittens and puppies to seniors. I currently have a golden doodle and three cats. I regularly walk Toto’s (Wizard of Oz) twin each week and I am a regular sitter for my best friend Teddy, another golden doodle. I love making friends with the animals, learning their personalities and having my favorites come back again and again! I currently work from home running my own business so I am somewhat flexible in my schedule. I enjoy pet sitting as a way to encourage me to break away from work to get out and play or go for walks, etc. I have a good sized fenced back yard for them to play outside. There are lots of walking paths and parks around that we can go for walks on. Our golden doodle is very friendly and playful. She enjoys having other dogs around to play with but is also gentle with cats and will leave those alone that don’t want to be bothered. There is room for them to be in a crate if that’s what they are used to. I will do my best to accommodate as best I can to their normal within reason.

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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Star is $69 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $93 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.
As of October 2026, there are 922 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
