“Han is fantastic and we're a repeat customer. I have two geriatric dogs, one is fully blind with a complex medication regimen, plus a moody hedgehog. She handles everything flawlessly, keeps in touch the entire time, and leaves our home in great condition when she leaves.”
“Michelle was really great. She was prompt and clear when communicating with me. She sent pictures and updates through out each day. Most importantly she was understanding and patient with ME as I explain in detail a lot of what my dogs need. I have a 13 yo and a 13 month old, both labs and each comes with some very specific handling needs especially around feeding and walking and Michelle was open to letting me communicate these needs. Her care and attention to the dogs' needs helped me relax on our vacation. I will definitely be asking her again to stay with the dogs. Thanks Michelle”
“She was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet, caring, and attentive with my dog, and he absolutely loved her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! ❤️🐾”
“Leah took great care of our dogs in our home, was great with communication, and left the house so clean, like no one had been there. Our husky and bulldog were undoubtedly pains in various ways, but Leah handled them gracefully and we came home to relaxed and tired pups. Hopefully Leah is available next time we need to go out of town!”
“Allegra was amazing!! Probably the best dog sitter we've ever had. Very communicative, flexible, and on top of things (plus my dogs loved her). If you want to have a stress-free time, you should totally hire Allegra to watch your pets. I know that if I ever need a sitter in the future, she is going to be who I go to first.”
“Anne is by far the best house/dog sitter we have used on Rover in the past 5+ years. She was super communicative each day which gave me incredible comfort that my dog and house was cared for, so I could actually enjoy my vacation. 10/10”
“Zosha was an absolute godsend - we had a last minute rover cancellation and booked Zosha the day before we had to leave. Our dogs loved him immediately - He was great about sticking to their routine and provided multiple updates/pictures throughout the day. Thank you for taking such good care of our pups!!”
“We were grateful for Sophia to care for our home and pets. She did a great job and was very professional, and cared for everything well. We would recommend her and would work with her again.”
About: I've been a dog lover and owner my entire life. Over the years, I've cared for a Golden Retriever, Dalmatian, Chocolate Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, and Goldendoodle, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've also been the trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for many years. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outdoors, or simply relaxing with plenty of attention, I'll make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll follow your routines and instructions so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy. I treat all pets like they were my own. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. Because I have plenty of availability, your pet will receive the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide reliable, consistent care you can count on. I'm available for weekday and weekend bookings, and I'll always do my best to work with your schedule whenever possible. Many dogs are happiest in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. That's why I'm happy to provide attentive, reliable care in your home while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special routines that help your pet feel comfortable. While you're away, I'll keep things clean and tidy, provide regular photo and message updates, and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.
“Kathrine was wonderful with our 3 fur kiddos! She sent photos and 2-3 updates per day. We are very happy with her overnight sitter option and will certainly hire her again.”
“Phong is far beyond my expectations! She is very experienced, attentive, knowledgeable to take care of pets and treated my dog as hers. My dog and I legit fell in love with her. I’m so grateful that I could connected to her and had a chance to work with her.”
“Jessica was awesome - she communicated regularly, sending great photos and updates, along with getting our mail. She left our house super clean and we would love to work with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Michael genuinely cares about dogs and making them feel comfortable and loved. Our dog Spencer can sometimes be a little shy at first, but he warmed up to Michael immediately, which says a lot. Throughout the stay, Michael kept us updated with photos, and it was obvious Spencer was having an amazing time. We had a flight delay, and Michael saved the day by staying an extra night, and sharing his schedule if we needed him even longer. When we arrived home, our house was clean and well taken care of. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Spencer was in such capable and caring hands. We would absolutely trust Michael again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Jeanette did an AMAZING job taking care of our dog. We were gone for 10 days and I was worried we wouldn’t find anyone as responsible as she was. She was very loving and patient with our elderly dog. She has never been left with anyone but family before so I was worried about our dogs stress level. (Mine too). Jeanette sent pictures every day with a review of what they did that day. I would give Jeanette my highest review and would love to have her back when we go out of town again. She was an absolute dream. I can’t thank her enough for everything that she did for Channing and for me. She allowed me to enjoy my trip and not stress about my dog. She made all the difference in the world. I would give her 10 stars if I could.”
“Renee was wonderful with my pup and cat. She adapted without a problem when Truffle got an injury right before we left and suddenly had to take medications that he usually doesn’t have to use. Renee was able to get him to take the meds without a problem and keep him comfortable. It was obvious that our pets were well taken care of and Renee stayed well beyond the scheduled time to be present when we arrived.”
“Sierra house sat for my husband and I when went away for a weekend and couldn't bring our cat and small senior dog. Sierra was phenomenal. Our senior dog can be a little more high-needs, with more frequent potty breaks (even some throughout the night), and some medication needs during meal times. We could tell that Sierra prioritized our pets, their needs, and making sure they were well cared for. Sierra kept us in the loop the entire time and was great with communication. We look forward to using Sierra in the future!”
“Matthew was amazing with our doggies! He played with them, walked them, and loved on them all weekend! He updated us throughout our trip and they loved him! We highly recommend Matthew to take care of our doggies again!”
“Layla was in great hands with Livia! She sent us photos throughout and took Layla on plenty of walks. We came home to a happy, well-looked-after pup and a house left in perfect condition—exactly as we’d left it. Livia is trustworthy, kind, conscientious, and clearly loves animals. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Strathmeade Springs
Patricha was absolutely amazing! She stayed with our dog and house sat for us for several days. We have a very temperamental golden doodle, who can be a bit particular about her food and a bit attention-needy. Not only that, but our pup was also taking medication during our time away. Patricha was very communicative, attentive, and kind. She was also respectful of our home. We felt very comfortable, leaving our pup in her care which meant we were able to truly relax on our vacation. We will absolutely book with her again in the future!
Another great 5-star house sitting by Stephanie! Piper was well taken care of and the house was clean and tidy when she left. She even went the extra mile and washed the sheets and towels she used without being asked to!! We got daily picture updates, too! Highly recommend Stephanie if you are in need of a sitter.
I highly recommend Breidy! They were dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the entire stay. My pet was comfortable, happy, and well cared for, and I really appreciated the regular communication and updates. It was such a relief knowing my pet was with someone responsible and trustworthy. I would definitely book with them again!
She was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet, caring, and attentive with my dog, and he absolutely loved her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! ❤️🐾
Seth was very professional from the moment we made introductions with the animals. He kept me updated with messages and pictures consistently with every visit. He was very responsive and amenable even to my last minute request for a care provider. 10/10 would rebook with Seth and would recommend to anyone seeking pet care assistance.

FAQs for House Sitting - Strathmeade Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Strathmeade Springs on Rover is $75.88 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 10,018 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Strathmeade Springs. 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 Strathmeade Springs 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 Strathmeade Springs 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 Strathmeade Springs 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.
