“Ashley was great with our 1 year old GSD puppy! She stayed overnight at our house with our puppy and two cats. She sent pictures of her overnight stay for our peace of mind as well. She was very responsible and professional. My husband and I will 100% request her services in the future!”
“Patricia was responsive in a timely manner and provided us with lots of pictures and updates of our fur babies and we appreciated all the care she provided. Will be using her services again!”
“Stephanie was great very attentive and caring. Handling my old dogs low vision well and I was sent updates and pictures of my boys daily. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“She was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly thorough with her questions beforehand and took amazing care of our animals. She sent tons of pictures every day and left the house completely spotless. 100% will be using her in the future to take care of our animals.”
“Ashley was a fantastic sitter. She stepped in when my sitter fell through at the last minute and took great care of my very energetic 11 month old and 60 pound pup. Grace is an energetic pup and Ashley had no problem keeping her entertained; she even took her for car rides. Ashley was able to give Grace her medication and took her on multiple walks a day. She also took great care of my house, took out the garbage, and left everything in perfect condition. Grace was obviously very well looked after and Ashley's attentiveness made me feel comfortable being so far away from home for the first time. i would recommend Ashley for any and all types pet care and sitting. She was a lifesaver on short notice and I will use her any time I travel in the future.”
“Amanda is the best dog sitter I have ever had! She was so attentive to all of my dog's needs and respectful of his quirks and daily schedule. She kept me fully updated every day I was gone and sent lots of cute pictures and videos - I felt like I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew my fur baby was in loving and capable hands. I recommend Amanda 100%!!!”
“Christina was an absolute blessing to 13-lb Iorek for my 10-day trip. Iorek has many special needs, and from the moment we made first contact, Christine was sensitive to learning his needs and enthusiastic to accommodate them. This approach persisted throughout my 10 days away while she stayed at my apartment to care for Iorek. Each day, I received adorable photos and updates written thoughtfully and with a clear intent to put my anxious dog-mom mind at rest. Christine ensured that Iorek’s routine was disturbed as little as possible, including facilitating play dates with neighbors (both dog and human). I returned home to a puppy free of anxiety or stress, and a tidy and clean home, all linens washed from her use and everything in its place. What a delight! I can’t say enough good stuff about Christine. If you’re lucky enough to book her, your pet will thank you! My future travel plans will always include Christine.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our pup in Cheyenne’s care! Cheyenne went out of her way to make sure our girl was not only safe and cared for, but also had so much fun playing while we were away. We received such great photos and updates while we were gone, and knew our girl was in the best hands. We had so much confidence knowing Cheyenne’s extensive history and experience with animals, which was even more reassuring (our pup has seizures from time to time and takes a daily medication). Cheyenne was also so respectful of our home, and always communicated promptly and professionally. Thank you again, Cheyenne!!”
“Linda went above and beyond taking care of our pups while we were out of town for the night. We had a last minute schedule change due to an emergency and Linda was responsive and flexible. We have two fussy eaters and Linda was patient and tentative with frequent updates to ensure they both ate. We also loved all of the photos we received of our puppies happily snuggling while we were away! We would absolutely recommend Linda to anyone looking for an experienced and professional dog sitter!”
“Rachelle is the very best! She loves our babies and takes care of them better than anyone else. She is thoughtful and dedicated - book Rachelle and you can’t go wrong!”
“Hannah is an excellent sitter. She did a great job sitting at our home with our two Frenchies! Her communication was outstanding. She is motivated and willing to learn. Although she may not have as much experience as other sitters do not hesitate to give her a chance! You will not regret it. Thanks Hannah! We will see you soon!”
“Nina was wonderful with our shy boy. She is calm but confident which was perfect for our dog who is not so sure of new people. She communicated often and sent pictures so we could see for ourselves how well he was doing. She left the house clean and even watered my wilting plants. I would have her watch Boomer again anytime.”
“Natasha was wonderful with Bonnie and Clyde. We received regular updates with pictures of the dogs to brighten our day. Natasha also went above and beyond taking care of our house, and we would definitely recommend. Thank you!”
“Our experience with Jessica was absolutely amazing. We were gone for a week, and she took such incredible care of our two dogs. Taking care of two dogs can be a lot, but Jessica handled everything so well and made the whole process stress-free for us She kept us updated regularly with pictures and messages, and it was clear the dogs were getting tons of love, attention, and care every single day. One of our dogs is usually cautious around new people and was completely adamant about not warming up to anyone at first but by mid week, they had become best buddies. Seeing that level of trust and comfort honestly meant so much to us. When we got home, the dogs were so happy, relaxed, and attached to her routine that it actually took them almost 10 minutes to realize we were back! That alone says everything about how comfortable and cared for they felt during the stay. We’re very grateful for the care and attention she gave our pups and would gladly trust her again in the future. Highly recommend”
“Anna G. was attentive and amazing! She was on-time, communicative and sent some photos throughout her stay. I've already booked her for a future trip and am so glad I've found her!”

We feel so fortunate to have found Patricia! She has cared for our three dogs on two separate occasions, and both times we felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. She was punctual, dependable, attentive, and incredibly kind with our dogs, giving them plenty of love and TLC. It meant so much to us to be able to leave and truly feel confident that they were safe, comfortable, and being well cared for. Patricia is someone we trust, and that peace of mind is priceless when it comes to our dogs. We would absolutely have her care for them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter!
Evelyn recently spent three nights in my home with my Great Dane, Taylor, and I couldn't have been happier with how things went. Evelyn was able to handle all of Taylor's quirks and provided me with regular updates, many including pictures. And my house was neat and clean when I returned home. I would recommend her to anyone looking for quality in-home service.
Myia is a terrific petsitter! From our initial contact, she was consistently responsive and professional. She cared for our 50lb dog for a full week and our pup was well cared for and in good hands. My family would utilize her services in the future and we would highly recommend Myia to others in need of pet sitting services.
Christina always takes good care of our lab - we’ve used her several times and she’s reliable, gives us updates and photos and allows us to enjoy our vacation knowing she’s there for our dog. She cares and went over and above this time during a bad thunderstorm she comforted our dog who was nervous with the loud storm. When you’re not home for them it’s nice to know someone who cares is there! Definitely recommend Christina for pet sitting.
We were delighted with Kaya’s care for our pups! They got lots of exercise and were happy when we returned home – – always a good sign. Additionally, the house was neat and that’s a bonus too. We plan to engage Kaya in the future andI highly recommend her to take care of your pups! 🐶❤️
Nicole took such good care of our golden retriever Tanner and tuxedo cat Milo for a week while we were away. She gave them both a lot of attention, took Tanner out on walks and made sure they both received a lot of love and treats. I enjoyed the pictures of both of them each day and I could see they were both happy and enjoying her care. She made sure the house was tidy and picked up after our week away which I greatly appreciated. She is an excellent pet sitter.
Nina was wonderful with our shy boy. She is calm but confident which was perfect for our dog who is not so sure of new people. She communicated often and sent pictures so we could see for ourselves how well he was doing. She left the house clean and even watered my wilting plants. I would have her watch Boomer again anytime.
Laina was so wonderful with my boys! I was so busy while away with training, but she was sure to send me daily updates with photographs. My boys warmed up to her so quick (which is usual for one of them). The house was just as I left it. Laina walking the boys in the yard to make sure they got all their energy out and gave them as much cuddling as they requested. I already have her booked do another stay! She will absolutely be my GO TO for any future trips.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sycaway
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sycaway on Rover is $38.52 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 653 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sycaway. 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 Sycaway 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 Sycaway 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 Sycaway 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
