Jen was an outstanding cat sitter. She accepted my last minute request and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my cat in her care. My cat requires multiple medications throughout the day, and she handled everything flawlessly. She was kind, attentive, and even took the initiative to research my cat’s condition to better understand his needs. Coming home to a clean house and litter box was so nice after a long day of travel. I couldn’t have asked for better care—highly recommended!

Elizabeth did a great job with Mack and Aries, while I was out of town. She took them for multiple walks per day and respected my home. We already have a other stay booked with Elizabeth!

This was a last minute booking, and then the details changed the day before due to a member of my family being hospitalized. Wilfred rolled with the changes and adjusted when to arrive and leave my house in order to give my pup a nice intermission from being stuck at home alone. Very communicative, conscientious, and punctual, with a genuine love and care for animals. Will definitely book again when needed.

I highly recommend her!! Tara did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my fur baby. She was very respectful and gentle with my dog. From the moment I met her, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and would treat my baby like her own. She was punctual and shared a lot of information about my dog. Thank you Tara again

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have always had a love for caring for them. I currently have a fun, energetic 2-year-old Goldendoodle and a 7-year-old cat, so I'm experienced with both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Growing up with multiple dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and providing plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. As a registered nurse, I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions, administering medications if needed, and recognizing when something doesn't seem right. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll treat them like they're one of my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I currently work part-time, giving me flexible availability throughout the week. I'm able to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits whenever possible. I currently provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take the time to learn each pet's schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions to ensure consistent, personalized care. As a registered nurse, I pay close attention to detail, prioritize safety, and communicate clearly. I'll treat your home with the utmost respect and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for until you return home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats from a young age. Family & friends have relied on me to take care of their pets on vacations or weekend holidays away. In college, I’ve taken care of some pets for summer break as well for classmates and friends that live far away. I’m currently working part time remotely so have plenty of time to walk, feed & play with your pet! I’m available M-F flexible time based on your needs & Sundays especially mornings upon request. I have a lovely front & back yard for your pets to run around in and a safe neighborhood to go on a walk. At your home, I am prepare food, walk your pet & play for them :)

About: Hi! My name is Deja, and I’m someone who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently have experience caring for multiple pets of my own, including 4 cats and 2 dogs. Over the last 1–2 years, I’ve also gained hands-on pet care experience outside of my own home. As a therapist, compassion, patience, and attentiveness are a huge part of who I am, and I bring those same qualities into the care I provide for every pet. What makes me stand out is the level of care, patience, and emotional attentiveness I bring to animals. I genuinely see pets as beings with feelings, emotions, and unique personalities, and I treat them with the same kindness and respect I would give another person. Being a therapist has strengthened my ability to be calm, observant, trustworthy, and responsive to individual needs, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure around me. I don’t just “watch” pets — I build connection, provide comfort, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently work part-time as a therapist while continuing to grow my caseload. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy and intentionally include in my schedule because caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Since I work part time, I’m able to dedicate focused attention, patience, and quality care to the pets I work with rather than treating it like a rushed side job. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and emotional needs, so I approach each animal with compassion, empathy, and attentiveness. Whether your pet needs playtime, comfort, companionship, or gentle patience, I will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own pets.

About: Hi there! I would love to have the honor of taking care of your fur babies! I have plenty of experience considering I have 9 dogs of my own... yes 9! Two big dogs and the rest are small to medium sized. So I am basically a dog walker at my own house just without the pay, haha. I am a recent college graduate from ESU with a BA in musical theatre but I would love to in the future become a veterinarian someday. My schedule is open and I also have my own transportation! I would describe myself as very reliable, kind, and caring. I hope you consider me to be your pups dog walker, I can promise you they will be in good hands!(:

About: I'm a caring individual who genuinely loves dogs. I have owned dogs for over 10 years of my life with breeds ranging from golden retrievers, to border collies, to a Maltese mix. I have done clicker-training and was told that I was a natural by the trainer I worked with. I find the work of understanding animal behavior to be incredibly interesting and rewarding. I am an honest and kind person with the desire to write books and attend grad school in order to become a professor. I put a lot of time and care into my work and I think that this type of job is perfect for me! I'm a compassionate, scholarly, book loving - introvert type person. I am also very active: running, hiking, and working out are some of my necessary activities.

Amelia was amazing while watching our very energetic 6-month-old labrador puppy and our 10 year old cat! We utilized her housesitting services for the week while on vacation. We received updates and pictures of our pets throughout the week, which was awesome! We felt so relaxed on our trip, knowing that our pets were happy and safe with Amelia. She also took fantastic care of our house while we were gone, as well! We would definitely rebook with Amelia, and we would absolutely recommend her to care for your pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Swiftwater

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Swiftwater on Rover is $27.75 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 625 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Swiftwater. 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 Swiftwater 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 Swiftwater 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 Swiftwater 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 Swiftwater. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
