I am a first-time puppy owner and had to travel out of town unexpectedly for a funeral. I was understandably nervous and hesitant to leave Georgie since he's so young, but I know that keeping his environment consistent is extremely important right now. Then I found Annie on Rover.com. Annie was an absolute godsend who put me at ease immediately. She was extremely responsive and even sent me the most adorable pictures of my sweet boy. I am so appreciative of the stellar care that she provided and we hope to have her come and visit again soon! 10/10 would definitely recommend. Thank you, Annie!

I would book Kamryn to watch Diggs a thousand times over! She took extra time and care to make sure he was comfortable with her (he’s scan be pretty anxious with new people). She updated me several times a day about potties and feedings and took her time to hang out and play with him. I felt so comfortable leaving Diggs in her care!! I cannot thank her enough for the extra steps and reassurance she provided me that he was in the best care while I way away!!

About: Hi! My name is Adrian, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I grew up helping care for large dogs and have always been the person my family relies on to feed, play with, and look after our pets. I especially love large breeds and enjoy spending time outdoors, playing, and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to earn their trust so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'll treat your pets with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'm currently very flexible and have plenty of availability throughout the week for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Because my schedule is open, I can dedicate plenty of attention to your pets instead of rushing between commitments. I communicate regularly, send photo updates, and always make sure owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. For everyone's safety and comfort, I currently only offer care in my client's home. My family dog is not comfortable around unfamiliar animals, so I don't provide boarding in my own home. When caring for pets in your home, I carefully follow your routines, make sure fresh water is always available, maintain feeding and bathroom schedules, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a clean home

About: Growing up in a house with lots of animals has taught me how to care for animals with patience, love, and responsibility from a very young age meaning I’m very comfortable handling all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs! I truly believe every animal deserves quality time, genuine affection, and attentive care — not just the basics. As a dog mom myself to my sweet (and slightly crazy!) baby, I completely understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I know how much specific routines, instructions, and little details matter, and I will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, patience, or extra attention, I’m here for it all. You can relax knowing your baby will be treated like family with me! Skills… - oral medications - any type of extra care - shy/quiet animals - comfortable with hyper, energetic animals - older animals - puppies of any kind - calm under pressure - Excellent communication with owner - pet safety awareness - long walks and active play - gentle handling technique I work at Starbucks so I go by shifts each week! Each week is the exact same shifts so it makes to easy on me and the owner! When can I visit?… (please remember I can be flexible and visit before or after shifts if communicated with!) Monday: 8:00am-12:00pm and 9:30pm-10:30pm Tuesday: 8:00am-10:00pm Wednesday: 8:00am-12:00pm and 9:00pm-10:00pm Thursday: after 4:00pm-8:00pm Friday: after 1:00pm-8:00pm Saturday: after 1:00pm-10:00pm Sunday: from 11:00am-6:00pm Please know your pets care and safety are my utmost responsibility. I understand the need for communication, specific instructions, and genuine care for your animal.

And I am more than happy to give that same experience to your baby! I love all types of animals and each personality is different and beautiful. This isn’t just another job for me, it’s a way to help others in a genuine, kind way! From one parent to another, I understand and I would love to work with you!

About: Hi my name is Lorin and I have three “kids” total. My oldest boy who is a pit/ lab mix named Erebus 9, Grimm my tuxedo kitty who is 4, and last but not least my girl Luna a Staffordshire Terrier who is 3. All of us enjoy spending time roaming around the yard and hanging out in the kitchen watching me cook from the sidelines. I've had dogs all my life and used to frequently volunteer at my neighbors old vet clinic. I am extreme animal lover and advocate. I will love and take care of your babies as if they were my own. If you have a pup with special needs I have experience dealing with several illnesses and disabilities that way your baby gets all the special care they may require. I am open to take care of your pets any time of the day. If you normally feed at 10 am, I will feed at 10am. If you walk at 5pm, we will walk at 5 pm. My goal is to help make your pets feel most at ease and within their normal routine. I always take my time to let new pets get used to me especially when I’m in their space. I always want them to feel safe and comforted while their parents are away.

About: First off, I love dogs! The relationship we share with them is unbreakable. I’ve always had dogs in my life, ever since I was a little girl. I have experienced dogs ranging from toy poodles to roitweilers. I have gained knowledge on the diffeeent personalities of dogs and not one is the same, which makes dogs so interesting. My personality, nevertheless, is kind. I enjoy making people’s day and helping others out through volunteering. I am currently a student at the University of South Alabama and majoring in accounting. With this being my major it is clear I like a challenge. It allows for no dull moments and to keep me very well organized with my day-to-day life. I am dedicated to strive and succeed in life.

FAQs for House Sitting - Underwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Underwood on Rover is $37.45 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 547 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Underwood. 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 Underwood 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 Underwood 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 Underwood 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 Underwood. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
