About: I go beyond basic pet care—I treat every dog like they’re my own! I have a 6 year old pitbull that I rescued last year who’s my baby! Whether your pup needs long, energetic walks or gentle care tailored to seniors, I adapt to their unique needs. ✅ Experience with All Ages – From playful puppies needing patience and training to senior dogs requiring extra love and care. ✅ Customized Walks & Playtime – I match my pace and activities to your dog’s personality and energy level. ✅ Trust & Reliability – Punctual, communicative, and committed to keeping your pet happy and safe. ✅ Specialized Care – Comfortable administering medications, following dietary restrictions, and handling anxious pets. ✅ Extra Love & Attention – Lots of belly rubs, ear scratches, and companionship while you’re away! Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Let’s make their time away from you as stress-free and fun as possible! I’m currently a nursing student and I also work in a hospital part time. Pet care is something I do to make extra money to help pay for school! Any service that you need, would have to be at your home. I currently live with my parents so I wouldn’t be able to offer any boarding services. However, I am a very reliable and neat person. Your home as well as your pets will be in good hands ❤️

She was able to offer a meet and greet for my in-home request ASAP and meeting her was like meeting a friend! The care she provided for my pets was great! She was responsive, informative, and put me at ease. We will 100% use her again!!

Alex did a great job housesitting and I highly recommend them! One of my cats is usually pretty scared of strangers and immediately was interested in and felt comfortable with Alex. They have a lot of experience pet sitting and I felt very secure having them house sit for me while I was out of town for the weekend. They were great about sending photos while I was gone and keeping me updated. I will definitely book with them again in the future.

Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!

About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.

I recently left my full-time healthcare position after being accepted into PA school, which I’ll be starting in August. Over the next few months, I have a very open and flexible schedule, allowing me plenty of time and energy to dedicate to pet care. I’m available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, playtime, and any specific care needs, and I truly enjoy spending that time with animals. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment both in my home and in clients’ homes. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, plenty of toys for enrichment and play, and a crate available if needed for rest or routine. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog and a cat who are both used to being around other animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routines as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I prioritize safety, supervision, and a calm environment, and I always follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and household rules. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own.

Bryan did a great job of taking care of 1 senior dog and 1 higher energy dog at the same time. Leaving them at home with Bryan and keeping their regular routines worked out great. We will ask him to care for them again for sure!

I was gone for ten days and Bryan had great questions during our meet and greet, covering all the important areas. Bryan's work-from-home status meant he was able to provide a more consistent presence for my pup while I was gone. The photos Bryan posted during my trip were reassuring and it looked like he and my pup genuinely bonded with each other; on return my pup seemed healthy and happy. Bryan was responsive when I reached out with questions and posted photos every couple of days. Otherwise, written communication was more reactive than proactive so for those who like frequent unprompted reports, you should explicitly ask for that. That said, I'd hire him again without hesitation.

FAQs for House Sitting - Studley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Studley on Rover is $51.2 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,430 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Studley. 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 Studley 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 Studley 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 Studley 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 Studley. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
