“Erin did an incredible job! We have an elder dog who is vision impaired and she did an amazing job keeping him company while we were out of the country. She administered his medications perfectly and kept him safe from harming himself. When we came home all of the pets were happy and clearly well taken care of. I cannot recommend her enough she is truly one of the best!”

“Alyssia was an absolutely fantastic dog and house sitter. She took wonderful care of our dog, Bear, and kept a close eye on our home while we were away. We received thorough daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, communicated clearly from our very first inquiry, and left our home tidy. When we returned, we were surprised with a thoughtful gift—new toys and treats for Bear, along with printed photos she took of him for our family. It was such a kind and personal touch that meant a lot to us. We couldn’t be happier with her care and would absolutely hire her again. Highly recommend!”

“We left the country for 19 days and left behind our 5 adult cats, which broke my heart because they’re my children, and I would never forgive myself if something happened to them. So it was really hard for me to leave them alone... Such a huge mental challenge that was made so much easier by Kaylee’s care, patience and attention to detail. She’s young but admirably responsible. I left so many instructions printed with pictures explaining everything about their personalities, preferences and routines that I’m sure it was overwhelming, but she was absolutely amazing and did exactly what I asked. I think she understood that I was anxious, worried and sad about leaving them alone, so she sent me pictures of each of the 5 cats every single day during those 19 days we were away from home, which I’m sure must have been a big challenge because they hid from her and my house is big, a two story house... But I needed to be sure they were all alive and okay, and she went the extra mile looking for them and taking pictures every single day for me. And because of that, she scored many points! I’m so glad we found her because it’s been so hard to find a reliable cat sitter nowadays. As soon as we got home, I could see how tidy everything was and how much care she had taken with every detail I had explained about their food, water and bowls, as well as all the cat litter boxes in the house. From now on, I don’t want anyone else taking care of my cats but her. 🙏🏻❤️”

“Sara stepped in at the last minute when the dogsitter I had originally booked had to cancel the day before I was scheduled to leave. She was GREAT with two of my dogs, and although I had already made plans for my third, human-selective dog for that weekend, Phoebe surprised me by deciding Sara was a new favorite-human at the meet-and-greet for her two sisters, so I went ahead and booked Sara for this upcoming weekend, as well! I highly recommend Sara! She treated my pups like her own and provided pupdates with pictures, as well. They had a blast with her!”

About: Hi! I’m Thiara, a pet mom to my two cats, Juniper and Java. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust taking care of your pets, and I always treat other people’s animals with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including very large dogs over 100 lbs so I’m completely comfortable with the big babies too! Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, lots of attention, or would rather just hang out and have some company, I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes them most comfortable. I’m very detail-oriented and good about following feeding schedules, routines, medications, and any specific instructions you leave. I also know pet parents like updates, so I’m more than happy to send pictures and check-ins while you’re away so you know your babies are doing well. I also speak both English and Spanish, so language is never a barrier when it comes to communicating about your pet’s care. I currently work full-time from 8–4:30, so I’m available for morning and evening care during the week. On weekends, my schedule is much more open and I’m available to drop by throughout the day or stay for longer periods of time. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine as much as possible! I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, so I’m big on following their owner’s instructions closely. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention or simply wants someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll always respect your home, your pet’s boundaries, and any routines you have in place.

About: I’ve had a mixed American pit for 3 years until I moved out here to the Norfolk area. Have a strong love for dogs. I grew up with dogs for a while and I love taking care of all breeds. I am active military so I dont have the time to take care of my own dog during the day so I prefer to take care of other dogs due to not being able to have one but after hours usually around 4 and later, I have noting to do so I would love to use my free time in babysitting a dog or even walking a dog! I treated my dog as if it were a kid and did everything good and I would definitely treat anyone else’s dog with the same care as I did my own.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a puppy, including feeding, walks, supervision, and maintaining a consistent routine. I also helped teach basic commands and tricks such as sit, stay, and high five using positive reinforcement. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I balance school and a part-time job, but I have consistent morning availability and would love to spend that time caring for your doggie! Morning walks, feeding time, cuddles, and playtime with pups are honestly the best way to start the day. I’m reliable, organized, and always make sure each pup gets the attention they deserve. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I carefully follow all dog parent instructions down to the smallest detail from feeding schedules to walk routes to any special needs. I respect your home, keep a clean environment, and always make sure your doggie feels safe, supervised, and loved.

Chelsey was absolutely wonderful with our pawkids! When we came home, they were overjoyed, and it was clear they had been loved, spoiled, and cared for as if they were her own. Knowing they were happy, comfortable, and in such good hands gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Our only hesitation in giving her a glowing review is purely selfish—we want to make sure she’s still available to care for our furry kids next time! 😂🐾

Jazmin has watched our pets a few times now and I can say she’s truly outstanding with animals and is a delight to work with. We have a reactive chihuahua who is VERY choosy about who watches her and brand new rescue Pomchi who can also take a while to warm up, but Jazmin seems to have the magic touch when it came to earning trust and building a relationship quickly. Jazmin took time to meet with us ahead of our trip to meet the animals and address concerns, has always been communicative, sharing updates consistently (with pictures!) and meeting the very specific needs of our extended furry family. I can see why she has so many outstanding reviews. She’s one of the very few people we will trust with our petsitting needs! I can’t recommend her enough.

Kimberly was a fantastic caretaker for our two anxious pups! She was so communicative and caring, making sure to let us know exactly when she was arriving and how our pups were doing (pics included). Even our skittish girl Lilly was at ease with Kimberly and let her give cuddles and medication to her. Kimberly treated our home with respect and left it nice and clean. 10/10 recommend and we’ll definitely be working with her again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Stone Bridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Stone Bridge is $29 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $37 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 November 2026, there are 1,308 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stone Bridge. 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 Stone Bridge 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 Stone Bridge 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 Stone Bridge 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 Stone Bridge. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
