“Natalie was great! There aren't enough stars to rate what a good job she did dog & house sitting for us. We were impressed from the very beginning with her prompt response to our request. At our first meeting to meet us and our dog she came prepared to work with her supply pouch including dog treats. While we were gone, she was super responsive sending us multiple pictures daily and keeping us informed when she came and went. We felt confident our dog and our home were in good hands. We will definitely call on Natalie again!”
“Emily did such an amazing job with our almost 16 year old dog. She sent tons of pictures, videos, and updates over our 3 day getaway. She left our house immaculate and was even so kind as to put our garage to the curb! Our dog has only been taken care of by one person his whole life, so we were a bit anxious to leave him with someone we didn’t really know. It could not have gone better! We would trust Emily over and over again with our sweet baby! Thanks again Emily! ❤️”
About: It’s hard to find someone to trust to watch your fur babies. I’m hoping to give you peace of mind when you are away. I can be flexible to a pet’s needs including exercise, socialization, potty schedule and medication regiments. I can’t think of a time in my life we didn’t have animals. As a child I wanted to be a Veterinarian. I worked at an animal hospital for a few years in my early 20’s. It was a great experience. I live close to a dog park and Forest Park or will take your dog on a run if needed. Also, there is also an emergency vet clinic nearby; just in case. A daily check in can be provided including photos. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!! I work from home so my pet routine with Lilly and Winston grounds me. Especially for morning and evening feedings and daily walks. As they are getting older our activity has slowed but I’m ready to meet the exercise levels for any pet that I’m sitting. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs. I have been working with animals nearly my whole life so adding new animals to our pack is second nature.
About: I provide reliable, attentive care for pets of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, and adjusting care based on each pet’s needs and energy level. Being home full-time allows me to give pets consistent supervision, patience, and a calm environment. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping owners updated and at ease. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will have consistent care and campaionship. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely and monitor behavior. I have a small, friendly, non-neutered dog and ensure safe introductions.
About: Hey there! I’ve been around and caring for animals for most of my life and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats . I currently work in veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable caring for animals with different needs, recognizing changes in behavior, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, large and strong dogs. I’m comfortable handling animals that need extra patience, space, and understanding. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company while you’re away! I own and operate my own farrier business, so I may occasionally be away for a couple of hours during the day while I’m working with horses. I’ll always discuss this with you beforehand to make sure your pet is comfortable being left alone for a few hours. If they aren’t, no worries at all! I can also schedule my farrier work around whatever your pet may need. Outside of work, I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have years of hands-on experience with animals and am comfortable with dogs, cats, horses, and small animals, including nervous or reactive pets. I’ll follow your instructions and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always communicate with you if anything comes up and make sure your pet gets the same care and attention they’re used to.
“Selena took great care of our dogs!! She was great at communicating, the dogs were very happy and the house was tidy when we got back :) we would definitely have Selena watch our dogs again”
“Thank you, Sarah, for sitting with our girl Charlie. Charlie has separation anxiety and just needs a little comforting in her world as a rescue. I was shocked when you visited for the first time and she came right to you. The day after your stay, Charlie was very calm and tired, lol! I have a feeling that you played with her just like she likes, and then rested with her the rest of the evening. She is very worn out today! I think that's a good sign. I do hope we can see each other again.”
“Five stars doesn’t feel like enough for Mackenzie! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our dogs while we were away. We have a full house with four dogs, each with their own personalities, quirks, routines, and needs, and she picked up on who they were SO quickly. She spent tons of time actually engaging with them—playing outside, throwing their balls, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. We came home to four very happy, very well-cared-for, and appropriately worn-out dogs, which is about the best review they could give. 😂 Her communication was also fantastic. She sent us tons of pictures and videos throughout our trip, and it was incredibly reassuring to be able to see that everyone was happy and comfortable. I especially loved how quickly she started noticing and sharing the little things that make each of our dogs them. We felt completely at ease having Mackenzie in our home and caring for our crew, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. We’re so grateful we found her and would recommend her without hesitation!”
“Jill was wonderful when we had her stay with our senior lab over Christmas! She gave regular photos, videos and text updates! This was our first time using Rover, and it was so comforting to know our pup was in such good care! Such a different experience from when we have had to board him in the past! We would definitely ask for Jill again! She was a perfect match for our family!❤️”
“Hanna was amazing with our two Aussie pups! They were pretty anxious with the fireworks, but she did everything she could to keep them calm and comfortable! She gave great updates with pictures throughout the whole weekend, which made me feel much better about leaving our pups at home! She played with them a ton in the backyard (the time lapse videos showed two very happy pups) and even worked on some training with them. We will certainly book with Hanna again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with lots of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve previously walked dogs through Rover, cared for dogs in my own home, and grown up around family pets. I also raised my own cat from a kitten, which taught me just how much love and attention our furry friends need <3 🩷 PLEASE read. I have a very cute and cozy home, however, it is small. Therefore, in terms of house sitting, I can only accommodate SMALL dogs or medium (if you feel comfortable with your pup staying in a small home). The smaller the house, the more the love though 🩷 I’m doing pet care full time, so I can dedicate my time and attention to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved! Whether we’re going on walks, spending time playing, or just enjoying some cuddles, I’ll ensure every pet in my care to feel right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾💕 I’m doing pet care full-time, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I’m able to plan my day around their routines, if that means walks, drop ins, feeding, or keeping them company. I’ll ensure your pets get the attention they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 Please note (it’s listed in my bio) that my home is small! I would love to care for your creature in my home, but can only accommodate small dogs. I have a cozy backyard for dogs to play and enjoy some outdoor time, along with a walkable neighborhood and Gabriel Park and Metzger Park nearby for walks and exploring! I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and tailor our time together to their personality and needs.
“Bangyun is a very sweet gal, who took very good care of our senior dog and cat. She provided daily updates and photos. Our senior dog requires additional support since he is diabetic and has incontinence issues. Bangyun was willing to learn how to give him his daily insulin injections, as well as ensuring he wore a diaper while she was away. Our home was left in great shape as well. When coming home, our flight was delayed requiring an additional night of care. Bangyun graciously agreed to stay with our fury friends the additional night. We will definitely use Bangyun again in the future.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Verboort is $55

Natalie did an amazing job caring for our two pit bulls, Snoopy and Snowball, while we were traveling. She was on point with everything: feeding, walks, routines, and all the little details that matter to us. Her communication was fantastic. She sent regular updates and photos, so we never had to wonder how the dogs were doing. Being so far from home is a lot easier when you know your pups are in great hands. Snoopy and Snowball were happy and relaxed, and they clearly loved their time with her. We highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, professional sitter, and we'll definitely book her again!
Amazing as always! Whenever we go out of town, she’s always our first choice. She’s amazing with our dogs, spends tons of time with them, and takes great care of the house too. Our dogs absolutely love her! She makes going out of town and being away from them so much less stressful. Would definitely recommend!
Abigail was so wonderful! First, we had our sitter back out at the very last minute. I put in my request for a 1 week house sitter with only 1 day notice… I was so anxious I wouldn’t be able to find anyone, but Abigail responded within minutes that she was available. I was so relieved after meeting Abigail at my home and showing her all of my fur baby’s favorites. My kitty is only 10 months old so I am being a bit of a helicopter mom! I requested Abigail to take 1 picture every day if possible. She did not disappoint! When we returned, the house looked exactly as we left it. She was kind enough to even check our mail! 10/10 Would Recommend!
Elizabeth did such an awesome job! We were gone for a week and she stayed over at our place with our pup. She followed all the instructions and left our place even better than we left. She cared for our dog like it was her own:) We will definitely be using her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Verboort
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,517 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Verboort. 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 Verboort 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 Verboort 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 Verboort 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 Verboort. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
