“Hayli was our peace of mind with her loving care of Ellie and Annie,our two bichon frise dogs while we had a pontoon day on Lake Monroe celebrating our 45th anniversary. She arrived promptly and understood the girls routine and gave them and us a great day. Her attitude is positive and caring. She would be an ideal sitter for any pet and pet family. Highly recommend for future sitting.”
“Kendall did a great job caring for my dogs. They loved her!! She took them on adventures and treated them to pup cups at Starbucks! Yes, my dogs are a little bougie 😊. I highly recommend Kendall to care for your pet(s).”
“Patrick was above and beyond!!! Really, I couldn't ask for a more consistent, responsive, loving human to watch my dawgos. I'm a bit of a stress case when it comes to them and he made me so comfortable. He stayed at my place for a week and he gave them stellar walks, tons of love and dealt with their idiosyncrasies with understanding and awareness. He fed my older dude his meds and could handle two big dawgos on a walk with grace that bled into their behavior. I can't say enough about how great he is. HIGHLY RECC'D!! Thanks Patrick, we'll see you again soon now that we know we have someone we can really trust.”
“Zach is great! He’s house/dog-sat for us a couple of times, and our dog is always clearly well taken care of and happy! Zach sends great photos and videos, and keeps us updated if there’s anything we need to know. Highly recommend!”
“Robin was very attentive to my babies and treated them as her own. She kept me updated during the stay with photos and texts. I was very relaxed knowing my girls were all happy! I would definitely use her again!”
“As always, Stefanie was great. Our pups and cats are always happy to see her! Another sign of how great Stefanie is occurred to me recently: our cats eat food that she serves without missing a beat, even from the first visit!”
“Katie was a hit!!!! With Griffin and with us. Please come back soon!!! Thank you for being an eager player of dog games AND for leaving the house so clean. Five-plus stars for Katie.”
About: I am a huge Dog Lover. I will provide walks and a lot of snuggles. I also have a mini golden doodle who is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. I work remote so I will be home all day Monday through Friday to be able to give your dog a lot of attention. I am in and out on weekends so will have plenty of time to give your dog the proper care. I have a big backyard with a privacy fence so plenty of room for your dog to run and play. I will care for your dog like it’s my own. I allow dogs on my furniture and all around the house.
“Kristle was amazing!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter to watch our Coco Bella! Kristle was loving and caring! She was so good to Coco! She took her out on walks, played with her, and made sure she was well taken care of. She sent us pictures everyday and was quick to respond! I am so happy we met Kristle and we will be in contact with her for future needs! I highly recommend her services! Thank you Kristle and family! Coco loved you guys!”
“Heather was brave enough to house sit our cane corso for us, knowing he was going to be scared of her and not likely to warm up to her. She was very patient with him. She said he did finally come take a treat from her but immediately ran away. This was probably the best experience we’ve had with him as he was able to go in and out on his, and he ate every meal after she would leave. We’re very grateful for her!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and started pet sitting other people’s pets in high school. I’ve looked after all types of pets such as hermit crabs, rats, rabbits, cats, and dogs. Since then I’ve adopted two kitties of my own and I can’t wait to look after yours! I am happy to stop by for drop in visits before or after my shifts at work or on my days off, send me a message for more specific scheduling. I am very comfortable navigating your home to your needs. I am happy to follow any instruction given and will make sure your fur baby is happy and safely taken care of.
“Ben has tons of reviews for a reason! He keeps a full Rover schedule and meats his commitments like a pro. We had to make house sitting arrangements with only 2 weeks notice and he was able to fit house sitting with our 2 yr old German Shepard into his schedule with that short notice. Our dog was well taken care of and our small home was left in exactly the same shape as when we left for the weekend. Thanks again!”
“Zoe was great with our Golden Retriever! She took such great care of our girl and gave her lots of attention. Zoe also helped her feel secure during the bad storms we got a week ago. I highly recommend Zoe to care for anyone looking for reliable pet sitter!”
“This was our second time using Amanda. We had kennel reservations for one of our dogs but those fell through because of improper vaccination records. Amanda came to the rescue and agreed to watch both of our dogs with some stringent guidelines. She followed them to a tee. Everything went well. She gave us multiple updates with photos. We felt completely at ease the whole time we were gone. Amanda is a wonderful dog sitter and we couldn't ask for anyone better.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tilden
Hayli did an excellent job taking care of Daisy & Bitsy. My dogs were so calm when we returned home. Hayli gave regular updates with lots of pics while we were gone. It gave me peace of mind knowing that she had everything taken care of. She also swept and mopped the floor before she left! I will definitely hire her again.
Brea was perfect. She was everything we could hope for while leaving our Arlo for the evening. She's excellent with communication and support. We had her come earlier than we needed to leave so she'd have time to get to know our little weirdo. She was kind and patient while we finished getting ready. We arrived home to a happy, relaxed Arlo, and to us that's everything. We absolutely trust Brea and hope she's available for all of our outings! Highly recommended. A+, 5 star experience!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tilden on Rover is $32.19 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 1,451 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tilden. 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 Tilden 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 Tilden 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 Tilden 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 Tilden. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
