“Emma was great with our girls. She stayed in communication with us and sent us lots of updates and cute pictures while she was here. We will definitely have stay with our pups again!”
“Kaylin took care of our big fluffy guy for a long weekend and we couldn’t have been happier! Leo was exercised to the fullest every day and we loved all the picture updates :) our home was in perfect condition when we came home. We will definitely be using Kaylin again in the future!”
“Becca treated our Comet with love and great care, he liked her right away during the meet and greet and she has such a warm nature!! He was well looked after and we will happily use her again!! She is excellent at following all directions and our house was in great condition when we got back!”
“Our dog is so well cared for and content with Samuel. He was a house sitter for us for numerous days and things went great. Received photos at the end of the day and even a video update. Thanks so much!”
“This was our 1st time using Rover and our 1st time with Nancy. We were very nervous about leaving our pets and our home with a stranger but Nancy was everything we could have hoped for: friendly, confident and loving with our critters, great communication and the best pictures. It’s clear why she has a loyal clientele! If she’d have us, we’d easily ask for her to care for our fur family again.”
“Susan was an amazing dogsitter! It was a last-minute request, and she was so accommodating, kind, and great with Cleo, who had some anxiety at first. Susan was patient with Cleo, and they eventually warmed up to each other! We got amazing updates with photos, and Susan was an awesome house guest, too. We can’t wait for her to watch Cleo for us again!”
“Lewis was outstanding! We needed pet care at the last minute to travel out of town for a family funeral. Our dog is older and on special medicines. Lewis came for a meet and greet on short notice and took great care of our dog giving him all of his meds. We felt confident that our dog was well cared for and we had at least daily updates with pictures. We will use Lewis again in the future!”
“Ella was quick to respond every time, which we appreciate! She provided updates with photos. She was friendly and did everything we asked her to do, our dogs were happy to have her and everything went exactly as planned.”
“Julianne was a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. Communicated with us well throughout the whole trip and kept our home spotless! Spent lots of quality time with our pets and helped keep us at ease throughout our trip.”
“Autumn was great with our 3 (somewhat sensitive ;) pups). Great communication throughout her visit. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone trustworthy to look after your pets. Thanks Autumn!”
“Ashley was fantastic with watching my dog Willow. She sent photo updates, cleaned up after herself, and left the house better than she found it. Willow was relaxed and happy when I returned, indicating she was well cared for.”
“Isabella took such good care of our home and our kitties! She was awesome about coming for a meet and greet and responding quickly to messages. Our babies were well loved, and our home was left very clean and tidy. She was fantastic!”
“Jazmyne was absolutely wonderful. My pups loved her and she was so patient and understanding. I had to leave for a work trip and of course the night before one of my dogs got sick with a bout of diarrhea, I let Jazmyne know and had to leave alternate instructions and food and she handled it like a pro. She gave me regular updates to let me know how they were both doing and paid extra attention to my sick pup. I came home to a wonderfully clean apartment and two very happy dogs. I would certainly recommend Jazmyne and look forward to using her in the future.”
“Teresa was wonderful and did an amazing job of taking care of my fur babies! She was great at keeping me updated with daily pics and communication, and my pups seemed to really love her as well. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Lindsay is top notch in the pet sitting world, she went above and beyond my expectations. While gone for 4 days, I received frequent messages with photos of my pets. The day I returned , she sent a detailed note on what she had done before leaving, which was much appreciated. The house was spotless and I could see my dog and cat had been well taken care of during my time away. I highly recommend Lindsay for your pet care needs.”
“Chloe watched our doggie, two kitties, and home for a week. She did a great job! Ah was very responsive and cleaned up kitty puke (ew) for us. Animals were very relaxed when we came home and the house was spotless. Thank you!!”

Trey was easy to work with and took great care of our boys while we were gone. He even went the extra mile and took out our trash, hid treats around the house for our boys (that he brought), watered our garden, AND left us a gift of handmade soaps, etc. from his company. Top notch sitter!
Sarah recently cared for our dog and house sat. We couldn’t be more pleased. This is the first time we’ve left our pup since she lost her buddy a couple of years ago. Sarah regularly communicated and sent pictures, reassuring us that things were going well. We could really enjoy our time away knowing that Sarah was there. Thank you, Sarah.

FAQs for House Sitting - Timnath
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Timnath on Rover is $55.5 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 1,709 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Timnath. 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 Timnath 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 Timnath 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 Timnath 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.
