“We are very pleased with Lindsey. She took real good care of our Rocky. She communicated with us the entire time she was caring for our pup. We highly recommend her and we definitely use her again in the future.”
“Heather was an amazing house sitter for my 2 dogs. One is an older dog and another a 7 month rambunctious puppy. She was able to relate to each and provided equal attention. I was especially concerned because I had never been away from my puppy but she provided reassurance with lots of hugs and letting him frolic in the yard along with his older brother! I received multiple daily updates and she was even able to do a few dog lessons! I can’t say enough about Heather and will absolutely book her again!”
“We had a sitter cancel at the last minute when we were out of town, and Lana was a life-saver! And she is a total gem! Prompt, friendly, communicative, and a true animal lover! We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again if we were ever in the area! Such a pleasure! Thank you!!”
“Briana was great with our pups! She stopped by for a home visit before the dog sitting, and was great with communication before and during the stay. The pups looks happy and well cared for when we returned.”
“Aly was truly amazing. The moment she said my old lady aloof cat had cuddled with her, The stress of leaving my fur kids with someone new melted away. The whole craw absolutely love her and she sent pictures. She just completely put my mind at ease and we’ll be booking with her again.”
“We've never been gone from our pets for two weeks before. When our usual pet sitter told us she was unavailable, we were hesitant in finding new ones for such a long trip. Alexia and Jay were incredible. They had the best attention to detail, care, and love for our animals as if they were their own. Day 1, one of our dogs hurt his back legs somehow and they took him to the ER for us just to be sure. Never a complaint once. It was all smooth sailing after that. We got so many pictures and videos multiple times a day. Very responsive and available for any and all questions. They even went above and beyond to reset the house a bit before we came home. They take this very seriously which made our trip much less stressful. Thank you so much! Can't wait to book you again.”
“This is my second time using Lauren for in-home overnight stays for my two (very spoiled) Schnauzers. I could not be happier! I felt so comfortable after the first stay that I didnt hesitate booking a weekend getaway. You will not be disappointed!”
“Oksana and her daughter were amazing doggie and house sitters. They took very good care of our pup and also the house. I appreciated how clean they left everything and all the pics they sent. Lucy loved them!”
“Amber was great with my doggie. My doggie was having pain issues before I left him. Amber kept me informed w updates and pictures which made a world of difference. Highly recommend her as an overnight house sitter.”
“Evangeline was absolutely wonderful with our dog Blue! He looked comfortable in pictures while we were away. He was even cuddled up in her lap in a few! Our house looked just how we left it! She communicated with us daily. Wonderful sitter! We would choose her again!”
“Emily was a perfect fit for my liberty! She sent me lots of photos!! When I arrived home Liberty was very happy to see us, but after the excitement of her greeting us she was running around the house looking for Emily! I will use Emily again and recommend her to anyone who wants there pets to receive lots of love ❤️”
“Lauren was great with our pups! We have three big dogs and she sent updates on each one when she let them and fed them! It made it easier on me being gone knowing they were well taken care of. We came home to three happy dogs!! Will definitely be using Lauren again in the future.”
“Day is wonderful. Our anxious little pup was calm and happy when we got home. Day is a great communicator with our dog and with us, sending lots of pictures and keeping us informed. Definitely recommend her.”
“Best house sitter that there ever was!!! She washed and folded the laundry that she used (we didn’t ask her to), she helped out with Buddy, our Elf on the Shelf, and was great with communication.”
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover, and spending time with pets is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping your pet company, I love making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have over six years of experience caring for dogs and homes for friends and family. I also have some experience working with dogs who have anxiety or separation anxiety, and I’m happy to provide patient, compassionate care to help them feel comfortable. While I’m not experienced with aggressive dogs, I’m committed to creating a positive experience for pets that are a good fit for my skill set. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I have two Boxers of my own, so I’m comfortable caring for large dogs and understand the exercise and attention they need. In addition to dogs, I love cats! I previously worked for about 2½ years at a cat café partnered with a local rescue organization, where I cared for cats every day, including administering basic medical care, monitoring their health, and meeting their daily needs. This experience has made me confident caring for cats of all personalities. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! If you have any questions or would like to know more, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to caring for your pets as if they were my own! 🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening services. Please let me know what dates and times work best for you! I prioritize your pet’s safety by following routines, providing attentive care, respecting your home, securing doors, and keeping you updated with photos and messages. With that if there is anything you need me to add in I will gladly do so to keep you feel at ease!
“What a great experience with MK. Both Quincy and I were anxious but she was patient with him and very responsive with me. Would definitely recommend her and look to have her take care of Quincy in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Swan Pond
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Swan Pond on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Swan Pond 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 Swan Pond 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 Swan Pond 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 Swan Pond. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
