“Denise was attentive and wonderful with our two dogs while we were out of town. She arrived early and took the time to hand feed one of our senior dogs. We came home to a clean home and happy dogs. We will definitely book her again!”

“Bernajah is amazing!!! I booked her to house sit for my 100lb pitbull mix and our experience was nothing short of amazing!!! My baby suffers w/ separation anxiety and Bernajah did an amazing job of ensuring Sky didn’t feel alone and was well taken care of. I received pics and updates throughout the stay to make me feel more at ease (which I appreciate). If you’re looking for a sitter that you can trust, book Bernajah! 10s across the board”

About: Hello, excited to start this new adventure. I’ve been watching dogs for over a year, and was later introduced to the Rover app. I have one dog of my own adopted from the Montgomery humane shelter. Recently just graduated, so I’m currently studying for my boards to be a registered occupational therapist. I would like to be able to stay home more so I can study, and spend more time with my fur babies. I will be available 7 days a week. If I have any off day by chance, just message me and I can see if we will be able to work something out.❤️ I currently stay in an apartment, close by Shakespeare park, with a near by dog park that I take my fur babies to every other day. I have a fenced in balcony that I and my dog enjoy sittings on every night. I have one XL cage for bigger dogs, and one human sized bed as well (literally like three humans can fit on it) Just want to make sure everyone is comfortable, even though with all the space they still lay directly on top of each other. 😂❤️

About: I have been taking care of animals for many years of my life as I grew up with cats and dogs. I have experimented caring for cats and dogs, kittens through senior cats and puppies through senior dogs. I would love to watch any age range. I am even open to watching more than just cats and dogs. I am a college student who is also employed, however, I have time between class and work that I can spend being productive and would love to spend hanging out with your babies! I am also open to spending the night with them. I will do what is asked of me such as feeding, walking, potty breaks, etc. I will also love on and play with all animals.

About: I've had pets since I was little. We got our first dog when I was in about 4th grade. At the moment I have a Guinea pig. I've been to obedience school with my dog before so I think that might come in handy. Other than that. I just want to enjoy their company. And also keep an eye on your bundle of joy for you. I've had pitbulls, pinkingneses, and a beagle before but I mostly know about smaller dogs. I've read a plethora of dog books from my local library during my early teenage years to get a good understanding of most species. I also am constantly researching anything I need to, on more than just Google and wikipedia but multiple sources. I hope I can be of service to anyone who would have me. I work two part time jobs and am looking to fill my time with some fur babies. The time spend at both jobs is equal to less than 40 hours. I have a crate trained dog in my home and plenty of yard to run around. I live on a dirt road so it is not traveled often.

About: I spent 12 years in the Marine Corps and decided to change career paths. After I got out I found a different passion which was training dogs. Please read what sets me apart from every one else and if you still have questions afterwards then do not hesitate to reach out to me! 
-Your pet will have 24/7 supervision and company, if an emergency arises on my end I will immediately reach out to you and let you know, I will never leave your dog unattended because I would not want someone to do it my dog, therefore I always treat visitors with the same respect. -My dog Moxie is seen and treated like one of my kids and yours will be to while under my care! -I will keep in contact at all times and update you on their visit w/photos. -I am a professional dog trainer who does boarding on the side. What this means is that your dogs will have the best care in the area when it comes to their safety and comfort. They will not have any unsupervised play like any of the other day care or boarding facilities around. I take your dog’s mental and physical care seriously. Every interaction they have can have a lasting impact on them for the rest of their life’s. I am currently a stay at home dad so my schedule is very flexible. Your pets safety and well being is my top priority throughout the day. I currently have 1 female Belgian Malinois her name is Moxie. If you have any more questions please do not hesitate to message me and ask.

About: I have 5 years of dog/cat sitting. I absolutely love all animals. I grew up around all sorts of animals. We have a 2 years old Husky at home, who loves to go outside and run around with us. I would love to take care of your babies!! I’m currently a substitute teacher. With school coming to an end for this school year. I am looking for dog/cat sitting jobs throughout the summer. I’m very flexible. We have 3 acres of land, but I let our dogs out on a leash and we walk around for ten minutes. I can put your babies in crate if they are not potty trained yet.

FAQs for House Sitting - Upatoi

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Upatoi is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 176 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Upatoi. 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 Upatoi 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 Upatoi 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 Upatoi 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 , 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 .

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Upatoi. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
