“Words cannot explain how grateful I am for finding Sumintra. I had never used this app before but she made it exceed my expectations. She was very caring with my babies, she was always communicating everything to me and sending pictures and videos. It made me feel so peaceful and calm. I recommend Sumintra 100%. Eternally grateful.”
“Cant say enough how happy we are with Emma. We have an 11.5 yr old boxer very high anxiety and on many prescriptions daily. We have been unable to travel without worry while we are gone due to his anxiety causing medical issues. He did GREAT with Emma. Not only was she great with him but she also took care of our 2 bunnies 4 fish and bearded dragon. We couldn’t be happier and will be using her again.”
About: I've grown up with a large variety of pets my entire life, ranging from dogs (big, medium and small), cats, fish, beared dragons, chinchillas, and hamsters. Therefore I am very comfortable when it comes to handling varying types of pets and their personalities. My availability right now is a bit spotty since I currently have another job. Aside from September 2nd to September 8th where I will be out of town, I will be completely free after August 24th since I will no longer have my second job. I walk 2 of my dogs daily as well as play with them in my backyard for at least 15 minutes a day since they are younger and need the enrichment. I also feed all my pets daily and provide them with clean water and litter boxes for those who use it.
“Libah was amazing! During our meet and greet, she asked questions and took notes to make sure Trix was given the best care. She made sure to use Trix’s routine to ensure her happiness. Libah was great with communication while I was gone. I never had to worry about what was happening at home.”
“Jack did a great job house sitting our dogs as always! He was able to accommodate us with a last minute request and we appreciate his flexibility. We definitely recommend Jack to take great care of your fur babies.”
“I really appreciate the excellent care Steve provided to my cat Gabby and dog Sprite. All the pictures were wonderful. Sprite loved walkies and hang out time. Steve definitely went above and beyond to make sure my fur babies were happy and healthy. Thank you so much!”
“Vanessa watched my two pups for me during my wedding weekend and did a FANTASTIC job! I was able to enjoy my weekend worry free knowing that they were being taken care of. She sent tons of photos in her nightly updates and let me know how their day went. 10/10 recommend!”
“My impression is that dogs love being around Sam. Sam is very reliable, accommodating and responsible person. Also she has great understanding of pet’s needs and takes actions accordingly. It’s a fantastic quality when you can be sure that dog sitter would be able to anticipate your pet needs when you are away.”
About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.
“Rabekah was fabulous. Responded quickly and professionally to all communications, very sweet with our dogs, and went above and beyond in so many ways. We have one difficult dog that she won over quickly, and was patient with any additional needs. Will definitely book again.”
“Karen was fantastic. She responded immediately and came the same day to take care of Blixtra, which was a lifesaver. Calm, reliable, and clearly great with dogs—I felt comfortable right away leaving Blixtra in her care. Would absolutely book again.”
“The best decision we could have made! I had never left my baby with anyone before, and I did it with Mauricio. He's incredibly good, and communication is excellent. I recommend him 200%. THANK YOU!! I'm sure we'll be back.”
“Victoria did a wonderful job. We called her last minute for an overnight get away NYE. We did a meet and greet and Bailee took to her immediately. He is a service dog to me and we were skeptical knowing this would be the first time leaving him. She sent us pictures, was very personable and affectionate to Bailee. I would definitely recommend Victoria for your pet sitting needs. I know if we ever need someone, she will be the first one we call. Thank you again Victoria for treating Bailee like your own!!”
About: I am attentive and constantly educating myself on animal behavior so your pet gets only the best for its needs! Ive helped friends and have been referred to others because of my pawtastic care! Im currently working part time so I can give your pet all the love and walks he/she deserves and needs as well as pets. Only the best for your furry family! Ive attended to medical instructions by owners and im very patient so animals love me because they are truly respected. I also send videos and pictures to my clients so they get updates in real time.
“Debbie took great care of Moxie. I'm always nervous leaving my girl with a new sitter, but Debbie put me right at ease. Her two dogs are sweet and calm and it was great for Moxie to have companions. If your dog is nervous, she has ways to keep them separated. I appreciated the daily updates, photos, and videos and reassurance so I could relax and enjoy my business trip. I will definitely leave Moxie in Debbie's care again.”
“Daelia was extremely friendly and accommodating as it was a last minute booking. She spent a great deal of time with Liberty and we couldn’t have been happier! Would highly recommend and we will use her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in The Meadows is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - The Meadows
We had an amazing experience with our Cyndee! She stepped in on short notice to care for our two girls for over a week, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She sent regular photo updates that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When we returned home, the house was spotless—everything was exactly as we left it. She went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated the care, communication, and professionalism she showed throughout our trip. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring pet sitter, and we would happily book with her again!
I had Kyle watch my three cats and puppy while I was away on vacation. He did an amazing job and managed all the animals well. He kept me updated with photos and made sure my puppy got outside and active while i was gone. When I came back home everything was clean and the animals were happy. I would recommend Kyle to house sit and pet sit!
Tara was absolutely amazing with my senior dog, Albert. He has several medical conditions, including patellar luxation, anxiety, and ongoing eye issues that require medication, so finding someone I trust is incredibly important. As a veterinary technician, Tara immediately put me at ease with her knowledge and professionalism. Throughout the evening she sent frequent updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions about his care, and never made assumptions. I especially appreciated that she asked whether Albert could safely get off the bed himself or if she should lift him because of his patellar luxation. She also administered his eye medication, kept me updated during a thunderstorm, and even put on calming music to help him relax. The next morning, Tara checked in to make sure Albert was doing well after we got home, which really showed how much she cares. She treated him like he was her own, and I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in her care. I highly recommend Tara, especially if your pet has medical needs or needs someone who will go above and beyond.
Cassie cared for our dog Cooper at our home while we attended our son’s wedding. She kept in constant communication and sent many photos. We were so happy to see Cooper relax and even cuddle with her. Knowing she stayed with him put us completely at ease. We highly recommend Cassie and will definitely contact her again for future travel.
There isn’t enough room to express how amazing Nicole is! She went above and beyond to make sure this dog mama felt secure with leaving her animals! Pictures every day along with amazing communication. She even left holiday cards with pictures of our babies. Nicole is the only person I want to watch my “kids” from here out. My only concern is my animals might start to love her more than my husband and I.
My wife and I would highly recommend Ashlee. Sophie, our cocker spaniel, seem to be in great health and appeared to enjoy being around Ashley. She was prompt and sent photos of Sophie to us every day. Additionally, before we got home, she had washed her bed linens and they were fresh and clean in our dryer. The house was spotless when we got back as well. Once again, we would highly recommend her and plan on using her again in the future.
Michaela took awesome care of our 2 dogs while we were away. She stayed at our home and everything looked great and pups were fine when we returned. She was able to come over and meet our dogs and do a quick walkthrough before booking which made us feel more comfortable. We will definitely be booking with her in the future! Thanks Michaela!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in The Meadows on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,020 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across The Meadows. 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 The Meadows 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 The Meadows 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 The Meadows 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.

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.
