“Kevin was wonderful. We could not have been more confident in his ability to care for our pup during our trip. He asked all the right questions and truly paid attention to detail. During the stay, he sent plenty of updates and pictures which made us so happy to see! He was prompt, professional, and friendly! Our normally nervous pup warmed up to him almost immediately which just shows how lovely he is. Ollie loved him! He drew us a custom picture of Ollie and it truly is the coolest thing ever. We’ll be hanging it up! If you’re looking for a sitter who is attentive and will love on your animals the way you would, Kevin is your guy! Thank you Kevin for taking great care of Ollie!”
“Sadie took great care of our pups! She was reliable, the dogs loved her, and we felt at ease that they were well taken care of while out of town. We would book with her again!”
“This was our first time not only using Rover but having someone we don’t know come stay at the house to care for our pups instead of boarding them. This whole experience from our first meet and greet to hashing out details and preparing for her stay was so smooth. Not only is she quick to respond but was on time, reliable, sent us daily pictures and videos, and she put her sheets in the wash and swept and mopped the floor before we got home! WHAT?!🤯🥰 our pups loved her from the first time she came over, which you know dogs are an excellent judge of character. Ana is so sweet, personable and very easy to talk to. I’m so happy we took the chance on Ana instead of boarding our pups or using a few others we spoke to who would take days to respond to us. We’re already talking about her coming back in Feb.”
“Scott did a great job with our XL pups, especially the one that is slow to accept new people. Communicated each day (w/ pics), and left the house & yard clean. We would use him again (and plan to) in a heartbeat”
“Michael was great. I have 2 dogs, an elderly dog who needs multiple medications and sometimes has accidents, and a 6 month old puppy. Michael continued our training with our puppy, he also helped with the crazy schedule the 2 dogs and kept our house in great order while we were gone for 10 days. I would highly recommend Michael to house and dog sit.”
“Donna and Stephen were great! It was our first time leaving our energetic puppy and they quickly put my mind at ease about leaving him. We came back to a happy puppy and cat and a clean home. We appreciate how well they cared for our fur babies and respected our home. Wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!”
“Xandi is lovely to work with, very comminicative and took great care of our pup Ollie. We felt very at ease during our trip and were able to relax knowing Ollie was in good hands. We will definitely work with Xandi again :)”
“We were contemplating on how our 2 dogs were going to be taken care of while we were on vacation for 4 days. We have a 9 year old Dachshund and a 4 month old German Shepherd and were skeptical of boarding them in a kennel due to the fact that we didn’t want to put that stress on a puppy. We usually have a family member stay at the house to care for the dogs while we are gone for a long period of time, but we didn’t have this option during this time. We came across Rover and said to ourselves, “Let’s meet a sitter and see what happens”. We came across Carolyn and chose her because of her background working with animals. When we met her, we knew instantly we liked her and our 2 dogs enjoyed her. So we moved forward with booking her and when we returned back from our trip, our 2 dogs were happy and well taken care of! We’ll definitely be using Carolyn in the future!”
About: Have always had dogs. Dogs adopted young and old from shelters. Have also raised from puppies! A consistent voice is key as a pet sitter / trainer and is my priority. Currently working part-time with a fixed schedule so I have blocks of time set aside to take care of your pets! Overnight and long stays are routine! Large untended yard to take dogs on leashed walks. Surrounded by great parks in a suburban area with plenty of pet-caring neighbors! Water, diet, and enrichment are carefully considered!
“Michelle does a fabulous job with my spoiled 70 pound pitbull mix. Very attentive to details and took excellent care of my girl for our 5 day trip. Michelle took great care of our house as well and did 110% of what was expected. Reliable and trustworthy- highly recommend!”
“Lauren was great! My dogs took to her right away, even our nervous rescue. She kept in touch regularly and was very professional. We will definitely be asking her to come back! Highly recommend”
“Super impressed! Billy is blind and Maggie is recovering from a sprain. I felt like I had the dog whisperer in my house. She is so clean!! She literally pulled the sheets off the bed before she left.”
About: I live near a walking trail for those that like a nice stroll, or for those that don’t I also have a few comfy couches to relax on. As a foster pet parent, I’m familiar with providing medications if needed. I typically work from home and am able to care for your pet while you’re away. My cats are friendly and use to foster cats so they’ll either play with your cat our leave them be. No matter what, your cat will not be alone. My home has multiple floors with large litter boxes on each floor, there is plenty of space and lots to explore. We have different dietary needs for our cats so I can definitely accommodate any specific dietary needs.
“Kortney was amazing taking care of our frenchie while we were traveling! Dog was super happy and taken good care of. On top of that Kortney left our house crystal clean and we are so grateful to her! Will definitely ask for her help again”
“Megan did a great job w/ our baby! She was very attentive and took her on plenty of long walks beyond just our neighborhood. She also did a great job watching our home and handling a few tasks! Would for sure book again!”
“Vivian has done a great job for us with several drop ins, so we asked her to house sit for us. She was again punctual, communicative, and responsible..:.and our dogs seem to really like and trust her too.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Techny
Grace did an amazing job taking care of our dog and cat! Both are rescues from Texas and have their own little quirks, and she handled each of them with so much patience, kindness, and care. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands while we were away. Grace was also incredibly communicative and sent us regular updates on how both of our babies were doing and handling our absence, which we really appreciated. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure they were both comfortable and happy. We would 100% recommend Grace to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. She’s wonderful, and we’d absolutely have her care for our babies again!
Jennifer took such great care of Ref while we traveled for spring break. She took him on multiple walks a day, spent quality time playing with him, and even went above and beyond by helping with laundry. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was not only well cared for, but truly loved while we were away. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless home, couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend Jennifer!

The average cost of House Sitting in Techny is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $97 per night.

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 Techny 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 Techny 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 Techny 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
