“I've got to say that Jo is a rare find. She provided exceptional service. We have two dogs and three cats, and she managed our house while we were away with Grace and with ease! We were completely at peace. We look forward to future opportunities to work together.”
“Vince was very professional and easy to work with, and we would definitely call on him again. He watched our two pups, (one young and energetic, and the other a senior) and met both of their needs. He communicated clearly and proactively, gave us daily updates and pictures, and was engaged and thorough in making sure he knew what we were looking for with both our pups and our space. He also made sure our space was in great condition for our return. We felt very comfortable and satisfied with Vince, and recommend him highly.”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Stephanie! From the very first meeting, she made us all feel so comfortable. She is truly a dog person who goes above and beyond for every pup in her care. We have two dogs with very different needs: one is reactive, and the other has ongoing medical requirements. Finding someone we trust with both of them felt daunting but Stephanie came in with calmness, confidence, and knowledge, knowing exactly how to approach our reactive dog and handling our other pup's medical needs with skill and care. Stephanie was wonderful at keeping me in the loop and made it obvious that our dogs' comfort and wellbeing were her top priority. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found her and will asolutely be booking with her again. If you have dogs with special needs, look no further!”
“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”
“Hannah was very communicative during my time away, letting me know everything going on with my pups along with pictures. I will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Rachel was fantastic. She started communicating before even arriving which is wonderful because it’s clear she cares. While we were gone she sent frequent photos and updates. Rachel was very thoughtful when taking our dog for walks (cognizant of the neighborhood dogs and owners). Our babies were well cared for and we are so thankful.”
“Jed was an ideal house sitter and dog watcher, and excellent communicator. He set us at ease when he came for the meet and greet, asked great questions about the home and dogs, and set solid expectations, which he ultimately exceeded! He kept us up to date with pics of our dogs, collected our mail, left the house spotless, did some extra cleaning for us, and of course took dogs for walks and spent lots of time with them. Everyone was thrilled, thanks Jed.”

About: Feel free to call me Elva! I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for about five years, and I genuinely love spending time with them.🥹 I have two cats of my own, Cereal and Sesame. So I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I also have experience caring for seniors and understand the patience and extra attention they may need.

About: Animals have always been my best friend. My entire life I’ve been surrounded by animals, having 2-3 dogs & a cat at all times. I’ve been through the month old puppy stages & the rough old times. Dealt with tantrums and accidents, and loved them still all through it. I have been dog-sitting since I was 16 and still do to this day! Sleeping with them so they don’t get too lonely at night, checking in multiple times daily to feed, give water, play, cuddle, and take on walks. Currently, and for the past year, I walk 2 dogs together, every morning. There’s no job too big for me! I am very flexible and available during the days, week and weekends. I currently walk dogs from 10-11:30am, and the rest of the day and night I am free for however many check ins your doggo needs and for sleepovers! I have been housesitting with and without dogs for many years, so I am well prepared and comfortable with new environments and how to accommodate your household to your liking! I’m used to notes & or instructions on exactly how you wish for my stay to go, no needs are too big or small! I stick to common areas and outside, wherever your canine loves to roam.
“This was our dog's first overnight stay with Donna, whom our dog adores, and we appreciate her very much, too! Donna has provided much needed help to our family on occasion, and she provided cute photos of our very happy dog. Safety is of primary importance to us all. Thank you, Donna!”
“I used Grace for housesitting my dog for a few days while I was out of town. Got lots of photos and videos. The dog was well cared for and the house too. Would definitely recommend her.”
“We came in from out of town for a concert. Sydney was great with our girl Lola. He was also very accommodating and flexible with his time. I’d definitely choose Sydney again when we’re back up this way.”

About: As of 2/2/25 I am relocating and can no longer accommodate boarding sweet furry friends. I am happy to do walks, house sitting and drop ins moving forward. R.I.P Bear 9/2023 💜 From a young age, I have been passionate about rescuing and caring for animals. At 5, I rescued my first cat, Ash, who lived until he was 23. Over the years, I rescued three more cats as kittens: Angel (21 years), Smokey (22 years), and Roo. At 10, I got my first dog, Pumpkin, a Retriever and Chow Chow mix with severe anxiety and some aggression issues due to abandonment. Through patience and love, I successfully trained Pumpkin, built his trust, and greatly improved his behavior. He lived a wonderful life until his passing in 2014. In 2015, I rescued Bear, a Shepherd and Chow Chow mix with an outgoing personality who loves cats and is a great protector. I have extensive experience administering medication to both cats and dogs and providing exceptional care for kittens, puppies, and older pets. I am very flexible with my time since I work from home. However, I prefer advance notice since I am a mom and still work. I adapt to you and your fury family member’s needs. Just communicate your expectations and I will always deliver! I had a dog with anxiety and I want to ensure that each furry friend feels comfortable and loved.
“So grateful we found Sophia -- she is excellent! We were nervous about finding someone to stay in our home for a week that not only we could trust, but that our sweet, but anxious and stranger-averse, rescue dog would let past her tough shell and get along with. I was stunned when our dog almost immediately warmed up to Sophia during our meet and greet (that never happens), and not only did she get along with Sophia, she clearly bonded with her and missed her after we returned from our trip. Sophia took great care of our home, treated our pup with so much love, provided much appreciated updates with photos and videos, communicated proactively and timely, took our dog on multiple walks a day (even though it rained most days, she bought a doggy raincoat!), and was gracious and flexible about trip date adjustments and meet/greet times. Can't say enough positive things about Sophia -- would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Michelle is wonderful!!! She took care of both our pups while we were gone on a family vacation. She provided optimal care, snuggling with our babies and sent pics when out on walks!! She helped soothe my anxiety with prompt texts, I would absolutely recommend her again!!”

I've got to say that Jo is a rare find. She provided exceptional service. We have two dogs and three cats, and she managed our house while we were away with Grace and with ease! We were completely at peace. We look forward to future opportunities to work together.
I can't say enough good things about my experience with Sarah! She took absolutely amazing care of my dog while I was away as well as my house. I was so happy the entire time knowing that my dog was having so much fun back home. She is super knowledgeable about training and handling dogs which made me even more at ease since I have a high energy/anxious dog. Lots of walks, adventures, and loving for your pup! I'd absolutely her recommend to anyone!!
Madison dog/house sit for me while I was on vacation. She took very good care of my Australian Shepherd while I was away. Kept me updated with lots of photos. And was very respectful of my home. I would definitely recommend her and will definitely use her again when traveling.
Marilese took great care of my boy Jack, as well as my home. Was very thoughtful to keep everything nice and tidy and she was clearly professional. Listening and writing things down with great detail to make sure not a single item was missed for the care of my dog and home. She does take pride in her job, and takes things very seriously. Highly recommend. Thanks again!
Amanda and Melanie were the absolute best people I could have found to take care of my little tripawd. Chia can be a bit slow to warm up to new people, but she was treating them like family before I even left. They have major dog mom energy and took the absolute best care of my baby. They sent pictures every day, played cartoons when they were gone, and Chia made two new best friends. I think she was actually a little disappointed to see me come home! Don’t look anywhere else, they are THE BEST!!!
Melanie is an absolute godsend. I was looking for a last minute sitter to stay with my special tripawd who can be a little timid with new people. Melanie sent me pictures every day, and at the end even sent an entire album! Chia was so sad to see her leave—when I came home I saw that she left cartoons on for her. Melanie is so incredibly kind and I will never go with another sitter again! She’s like a second mom to Chia after only 2 visits. And that isn’t typical. I think she must be some sort of dog whisperer. If you want someone to treat your baby like you would—with as much care and love and joy as you give to your baby—book Melanie! She’s INCREDIBLE
Cassidy is an Amazing cat sitter! She took wonderful care of our home and our three cats, balancing the needs of our two seniors with the non-stop energy of our kitten. She handled every cat mess without hesitation and treated all three with as much love and affection as we do. Cassidy kept us updated throughout her stay, giving us complete peace of mind. We returned home to happy, relaxed cats and a pristine house. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
Sophie was nice enough to come meet our dogs before she watched them the first time, making sure she was prepared to take the best care of them possible. She communicated clearly and did a perfect job watching our two pups. She checked in frequently and shared photos of our dogs as well. Sophie is great and would be a great sitter for all pets!

FAQs for House Sitting - Vasona Junction
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Vasona Junction is $96 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $167 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 November 2026, there are 3,831 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vasona Junction. 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 Vasona Junction 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 Vasona Junction 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 Vasona Junction 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 Vasona Junction. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
