Zariah did a great job watching our girls, including dealing with one's upset belly during the first few days of our weeklong trip. Lots of communication and she stayed at our house for basically the entirety of the time we were away. A+, Zariah!

Desdrianneja was an amazing sitter, especially for taking such a last minute booking. Holiday travel plans changed and we ended up not having someone available. She took our booking at the absolute last minute and didn’t even bat an eye. She was punctual on check-ins with our cats, and went out of her way to keep an eye on our shyer cat who likes to hide. She helped clean up litter boxes and trash on her way on and overall was a perfect fit. Would book again.

Brianna is so amazing, would 100% recommend her to take care of your pet! She is so kind and asked many great questions about our pet and home at our meet and greet. She took care of our dog for over two weeks and sent daily pictures and updates. She played with him, took him on long walks and brushed him. Our dog clearly loved her and her communication made us feel so reassured on our trip! She also left our place very clean. We are so lucky to have found her!

Ally was great! Teddy can definitely be a handful at times, but she managed well by looking after him. Jack usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but with Ally, he opened up so quickly it felt like they had known each other forever. Ally is reliable and trustworthy which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, she tidied up around the house and even offered to help with more before she left. I would highly recommend Ally to any and all pet owners.

This is my first time trusting someone to care for Blu. Amanda exceeded ALL of my expectations. I believe that dogs can sense souls of people that they meet, and Blu ADORED Amanda! She was so gentle and sweet with him. She was attentive to his needs and asked plenty of questions about the care she needed to provide. She sent frequent check-ins and pictures. If you want the best in care for your pup, she is your first choice! 10 stars! Thank you Amanda!

Deanna was very kind to our little kitties while we were out of the state. Before we left, Juniper showed signs of an upper respiratory illness which required medication. Deanna was willing to learn how to administer the medicine at the proper time and dosage which eased our worries while we were gone. Being that it was our first trip away from our new cat, Silvan, we were happy to see lots of pictures of the cats getting along with each other. She was a considerate guest, cleaned up after herself before departing, and took the time to take our bins to the curb for the weekly trash pick-up. Overall we would recommend her to anyone in need of cat care in the area. Thanks, Deanna!

This was my first time using Rover and my first time ever leaving Pete with someone I didn’t personally know, so I was definitely nervous. Emilee immediately made me feel comfortable and confident from the start. I was out of state for 5 days and she sent constant updates, which gave me so much peace of mind the entire trip. I just got back and Pete is happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience I would absolutely book with Emilee again and highly recommend her to anyone!

We could not have asked for a better pet sitter! We were away for 17 days, which is a long time to leave our dogs and cat, but we felt completely at ease the entire trip. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed just how well our pets were being cared for. It was clear that our dogs and cat were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. In fact, they looked like they were on vacation themselves! Seeing them so relaxed and content made it easy for us to enjoy our time away without worrying. The communication, professionalism, and genuine care for our pets exceeded all expectations. We are incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust them with our pets again. Highly recommend!

This was my first time booking Siyu for house sitting, and she was absolutely amazing! I had such a wonderful experience with her. She took such great care of my pup, Xochi and she loved Siyu! I can already tell she misses her. Siyu kept me updated frequently with plenty of photos and messages, and it was clear that Xochi was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. I was able to fully enjoy my trip without worrying one bit. You can really tell Siyu loves animals and goes above and beyond to provide a safe, caring environment. I felt completely at ease leaving my girl in her care and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ll definitely be booking with Siyu again! highly recommend! ☺️

Farah was very understanding and empathetic with us and our fur babies. Leaving them with Farah after a meet & greet gave us peace of mind and we were able enjoy our quick get away. Thank you, Farah!

Mateo was great right from the meet and greet. He is very personable and you can tell he enjoys spending time with animals. He was prompt, communicative, sent pictures multiple times daily, and kept me informed during the entire stay. Ziggy, Shelby Ann and Bear are looking forward to spending 2 weeks with him again later this month. Highly recommend.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sunny Side

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Sunny Side on Rover is $44.4 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 3,844 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sunny Side. 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 Sunny Side 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 Sunny Side 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 Sunny Side 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 Sunny Side. On Rover:

  • 94% 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.
