“Melissa watched our pets for the first time for an evening while we were out and it went great! We came home to happy healthy cats and dog. She had great communication and provided updates throughout the evening. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future for other pet sitting needs.”


“Nicole did a fantastic job watching over our house and pets while we were away. I highly recommend her. Our house looked wonderful when we got home and the pets were all very happy.”
“Nikki did a great job taking care of my senior, deaf kitty who is on meds and a bit of a complicated feeding schedule. She was great about communication, and sent photos which was much appreciated. She was clean and respectful of our home as well. I would definitely recommend her”

“Once again, Felicia was a rockstar for our pups! By no fault of our "regular" caregiver, illness got in the way at the last minute for the first few days of our planned holiday get-away. Felicia stepped up with little notification and filled in while our other pet sitter recovered! The dogs adore Felicia and we so appreciate the last-minute help she provided, so we could make our flight out to see our kids and granddaughter across the country! Highly recommend.”

“This was the first time we used Monica and I could not happier with her complete attention to or two pups. Monica stayed in our home and it looks as good as when we left. She sent me lots of pictures and the pups looked well taken care of. I will use her again and would recommend anyone to use her services.”
“Mandy was absolutely perfect! Cleo loved her, which was such a relief since Cleo can be particular about new people. Having Mandy there took a huge weight off my shoulders while I was away, and I loved receiving daily photos and updates of Cleo. It was so reassuring to know she was happy and well cared for. On top of that, I came home after a grueling travel day to a freshly cleaned home, which was the best welcome home I could have asked for. I would absolutely book with Mandy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”

“Alyssa is wonderful. So patient and kind. Took wonderful care of all of our pack and was excellent with communication and pictures. Couldn’t have asked for any better ❤️”

“We had Ron stay at our house and care for our dog, Ruby. Ruby was well taken care of, and the house was immaculate upon our return. I would definitely recommend Ron for caring for your animals.”


“Casey was incredible, I could not recommend him more highly! My dog was really sick while I was away and Casey kept me informed, sent plenty of pics, and he did everything he could to help my pup and keep him comfortable. Thank you again Casey!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and can't imagine life without them! Most of mine were rescues but I have a heart for all (also including cats, horses, donkeys, chickens). My 14-year-old hound mix Charlie crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few years and while he took a little bit of my heart with him, I really miss being with and caring for animals again. I have filled this need with pet sitting and volunteering at equine rescues and equine-assisted therapy non profits. If you want your big and little ones treated and loved just as you would do, I’m here. I’m a baby-on-the-sofa, next-to-me-in-bed kind of pet carer — and I’m happy to follow your rules if that means floors and crates (there’s still plenty of opportunity for love and affection). We will walk, play, snuggle and be as active as your pet needs. We can do car rides and doggy parks, visit friends, have play dates, go for puppucinos. I’m flexible, open, and want only for your pets to be as happy with me as they are when you’re home. I’m what I always looked for in my extensive use of pet sitters: dependable, committed, at home most of the time, and a true animal lover. I’m happy to administer meds as needed, have cared for my own senior dogs with limitations (deaf, dementia, physical limitations, hospice). I will not only care for your fur family as I would my own (which means a whole lotta of love, interaction, play, and attention), but I will care for your home in the same manner. I’m all grown up, mature, responsible, and reliable and have been a homeowner for years. Your home will be clean and maintained, ready for your return, and your pets will be cared for and happy to see you. I have been fortunate to have had at-home pet sitters who were superb. That’s what I wish to offer to someone else and their fur babies. Peace of mind, certainty that all is well, and confidence that their pets are safe, sound, and happy. I am retired from Emory University, so I am readily available. What Susan would like to know about your pet? Please let me know feeding habits, amounts, times. Normal bed/wake-up times. In and out times. Walking preferences, favorite toys, favorite activities. If there’s anything that scares or worries your pet, tell me. Medical history, let me know. Additional Skills Oral Medication Administration Special Needs Dog Experience Senior Dog Experience Cat care-also chickens and birds Can provide daily exercise. I am soon to be retired, work at home part-time and am finally fulfilling my passions-pet sitting, equine rescue volunteering and just bumming around. What could be better-dogs, horses and retirement? Your pet’s usual day is my day. Sleep late or not. Go for multiple brisk or leisurely (sniffing time!) walks. Lounge around at home or go for rides or to the doggy park. I’m flexible, open, and want only to make your little ones as happy as they can be without you.
“Bridgette was wonderful to work with! She took excellent care of our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. Our dog had an unexpected, last minute medication change the day before we left and Bridgette handled it with ease. She also sent frequent updates which we greatly appreciated. We are already rebooked for our next trip!”

About: I grew up around dogs all my life! I used to volunteer watching over my friends dogs. I understand how precious each and every dog is, and I intend to treat them with the loving they deserve! I work full time Monday thru Friday. I get home around 4:30. But I am usually free on the weekends. Just shoot me a message and I’ll come watch your pups! I have a fenced in back yard, filled with grass. I have a couple of shiba Inus. They are sweet and love meeting new friends!
About: I have grown up around pets my entire life, owning multiple dogs, from a range of small to large size dogs. I have a very flexible schedule with an easy to accommodate home. Nice neighborhood for walks! Would be more than happy to take care of your pet and host them whenever needed. I am a very open person who is more than willing to accommodate any person’a needs or requests! I work a flexible schedule and make pet care part of my daily routine. Pets will get regular potty breaks, walks, feeding times, play sessions, and attention throughout the day. I can provide updates, photos, and consistent care to help pets feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where safety comes first. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and exercise needs. I always supervise pets, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free in my care or in a client’s home
“Victoria was awesome! She was friendly, communicative and always punctual. We went on vacation for 2 weeks and she kept us updated and made the whole experience stress free. Most importantly our dogs absolutely loved her. We’d definitely recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter and we will absolutely be using her again.”

“Caitlin took great care of our dog and we didn't have to worry one time while we were out of town! She kept the house clean and gave our dog lots of love, walks, playtime and cared for him as if he was her own dog. She was communicative, reliable and trustworthy. I cannot say enough! Thank you Caitlin!”

“Nicole went above and beyond to take care of my three dogs, Guinea pigs and my home while I was states away for a funeral - even with my chaotic changing schedule she was there to accommodate me and spend quality time with my fur children so I could stress less and spend more time with my family which was an incredible gift that I will be eternally grateful for!”

Joyce provided exceptional care for Kenzie. Joyce walked Kenzie daily, gave her lots of play time including playing ball which Kenzie loves and gave her lots of cuddles.

FAQs for House Sitting - Swantown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Swantown on Rover is $53.43 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 727 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Swantown. 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 Swantown 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 Swantown 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 Swantown 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.
