“Chloe was a wonderful pet sitter! She took amazing care of our dog and our bunny while we were out of town. She was incredibly respectful of our home & space, and left everything in perfect condition. We appreciated her communication and updates with pictures of our pets! I would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I have cared for animals ever since I was very young, and officially at 9 years old when I got a little hands on experience caring for horses at my riding club. Then more hands on experience when I officially started volunteering at my club for 2 years. But more importantly, I have cat care, and dog care experience. I am responsible for my 2 kitties that I own and I have dog sat 2 puppers for a family friend in the recent past. Animals are a huge part of my life and it has been my dream to follow a career path based around animals ever since I was a little kid. I genuinely want more pet sitting experiences and I would love to care for as many fur babies as I possibly can. I work part time so I have lots of availability in my week to take care of your fur babies. During my available days which are Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, I am very flexible and will be ready to care for your pets at the times you need me to. To keep my kitties safe, my home is cat proofed and I am always on the look out for small objects, wrappers, or anything on the ground that might be dangerous for them. I will do the same in your home to make sure your pets are safe and sound. I will safely take your dogs on walks, feed them, and play with them based on the routine you would like me to follow. As well as any special feeding instructions they have. I will keep your puppers and kitties entertained and well fed. I will also clean their food and water dishes when needed and snuggle with them. I can adjust to whatever your pet needs based on their personality, energy level, or whatever they need in general.
“10/10! Dmytro was stellar in care of my dogs and taking care of our home. He took the time to do an initial meet and greet with me; he was thoughtful, communicative, very easy to work with, and sent lots of pictures of my dogs while I was gone. We came home to a clean home and my dogs loved him! Will definitely have him house- and dog-sit again - very very happy with experience. Thanks Dmytro!”
“This is my second time booking Tricia. She is great with my older dog and gives him a lot of love & attention. I feel at ease being away from home & him with her in charge. She’s great with daily updates as well! Would definitely book again.”
“Kyli was thoughtful, thorough, reliable and kind. Our animals were calm and well cared for upon our return. She loved our dog but somehow she won over our very shy cat, a cat whisperer for sure. Thank you Kyli!”
“Junbo stayed overnight in my home for multiple nights and took wonderful care of my dogs. She sent lots of updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear from every one how happy, comfortable, and well loved they were. I really appreciated her communication and the peace of mind she gave me while I was away. My dogs were relaxed, content, and clearly well cared for — which matters most. I would absolutely book Junbo again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter. 🐾💛”
“Ben did a good job taking care of our Zoey while we were out of the country for ten days. He kept us informed and shared many pictures of Zoey during our absence, which we very much appreciated.”
“Murou was great with our Bengal cat siblings Tako and Nunu. She provided regular updates, photos, adhered to their meal schedule, play sessions needs. She also kept great care of our home. Our cats really liked her and would definitely book her again. Highly recommend and hope to make her our regular sitter.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, growing up with Bernese Mountain Dogs, and now with two rescues! I've worked in an animal shelter with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and temperaments, so I'm skilled at socializing, walking, and playing with dogs with all kinds of personalities. I've also cared for a reactive dog of my own, which has taught me even more about canine body language and how to respond safely. With experience ranging from puppies to seniors, including medical and special needs care, I give every dog the patience, and love they deserve, as if they were my own! I currently have a hybrid position, and hoping to care for animals with my extra time! Due to remote work, my schedule is quite flexible and I'm available for boarding or check ins most days. When I’m caring for pets in your home, my goal is to make things feel as normal and comfortable for them as possible. I stick to your usual routines so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to their moods and body language, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and cared for. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I’d want for my own, leaving it just as you left it. Happy to align with your needs!
“Brandi is the best! She is personable, trustworthy, and our animals love her. We are completely relaxed knowing they are taken care of. Brandi also has a lot of knowledge about animals which is a bonus. She is house sitting and taking care of the animals when we are away this summer. Highly recommend.”
“Clover was an excellent pet sitter for our Brittany Pepper and long hair cat. They were very attentive and gave regular detailed updates and pictures of our pets. I couldn't have been more pleased with the quality of their services. High praise indeed.”
“Payton was fantastic! Both of our animals were well cared for and completely relaxed when we arrived home. The house was sparkly clean. She sent us pictures and updates regularly. We would have her again in a heartbeat! Great sitter.”
“Maryna has really developed a bond with my dogs and I can tell they feel relaxed and get lots of play and cuddles while I am gone. She takes care to keep my space clean and follow instructions!”
About: My experience includes SPCA volunteer work, grooming salon apprenticeship, pet sitting for friends and family, doggy daycare experience, and personal care of my pug from birth to today, and she is 16 years old. I am especially considerate of elderly or special needs pets. I understand grooming needs of multiple coat types, and can assist with behavior correction and training. I am a new resident and currently using gig work to learn about my community and gain more experience with our city as I prepare for my new career search. In client's homes I anticipate a set of expectations to follow, including open communication to prevent misunderstandings, to allow additional details to be provided, or to give clients updates about their pet's and their home's condition.
“Jeany did a wonderful job housesitting my senior dog and cat and followed all. Instructions. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a reliable caregiver to your pets. All medication and food was taken care of and I think my cat may actually like her more than me! We appreciated all the photos and updates provided and she was a wonderful house gueet during her time here.”
“Russell was great with our older dog and cat. He kept us updated and took our dog on great walks. He also took good care of our home. Even watered plants without being asked. He can be relied upon ti take great care of pets and home”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Union Hill-Novelty Hill
I wish a 10 star rating was an option!! Ashley is, hands down, the best catsitter we’ve ever had. We have two cats and asked Ashley to housesit with them while we left for our wedding/honeymoon. She gave the sweetest photo updates — we knew they were being treated like royalty. Not only that, but she took such fantastic care of our apartment while we were out (and even baked us bread for when we got home 🥹); a pet whisperer and just an all-around gem of a person!
Luke did a great job. The house was left immaculate and all the animals were well taken care of. I would have preferred better communication. I'm used to daily updates with pictures. I received one picture the entire week and any updates I had to initiate. He didn't stay over two of the seven nights. I would have preferred communication to that effect so I would be aware of this ahead of time as with previous dogs, this would have been a huge issue. Luckily with our current dog, she did ok but it was her first nights alone.

FAQs for House Sitting - Union Hill-Novelty Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Union Hill-Novelty Hill 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 7,501 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Union Hill-Novelty Hill. 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 Union Hill-Novelty Hill 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 Union Hill-Novelty Hill 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 Union Hill-Novelty Hill 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.
