“We met Kenda under urgent circumstances, Having just moved to the Bethlehem area from NH, we knew no one. But then we found Kenda on Rover and all her talents and reccommendations were amazing and we knew right away she was the perfect sitter to meet our 2 dogs, Commet&Vera. Her first visit was exactly what we and our babies needed for our short leave from the home. She came prepared and it was clear she had done her homework reading all about our dogs and their meds on a daily basis. We cannot be happier nor more trusting with Kenda. Best reaction was the dogs first encounter they were elated and even tussled to see who got her attention first. My husband and I highly recommend Kenda especially if you have large dogs who are a bit rambunctious. Kenda is the real dog whisperer with her care of quick understading of our our furriest... thank you from the bottom of our hearts also from our babies. SEE YOU VERY SOON I HOPE.

About: I’ve always believed that pets are family, and I know firsthand how much love, trust, and responsibility come with caring for them. As a longtime dog mom, including caring for a senior dog, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. I’m naturally nurturing, patient, and attentive, and I take pride in making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone else. My goal is to provide the same level of love and care that I would want for my own dogs. I currently work remotely 2–3 days a week, which allows me the flexibility to provide pets with plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends, giving me additional time to dedicate to their care. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, and I do my best to accommodate their individual needs and schedules. Whether it’s playtime, walks, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company, I want your furry family member to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them happiest and most comfortable. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize maintaining their regular feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help maintain a familiar and stress-free environment. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for!

About: I'm a cat and dog mom (cats are 10, pup is 7) with over 7 years of dog walking experience and a lifetime of cat care. I follow leash and cleanup laws and whatever your pet rules are for your fur babies! I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule! I'm most available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with plenty of weekend availability. Between the hours of 8am - 4pm are best for me, but I can accommodate most schedules. I do house-sitting but without overnights. For short-term sits, like one day or a few hours, I also recommend booking drop-ins instead. But message me, and we can work things out! I have a fenced, dedicated dog park far removed from main roads with plenty of grass. I always have doggy doo bags available for cleanup.

About: Originally went to school for veterinary medicine/technician. Been pet sitting since I was 14. Have experience with all ages or dogs. When I visit, I do stay for 30 minutes-if it's just a check in- to make sure they get attention or stretch their legs. I am available from 9am-3pm Monday through Friday. I can do overnights as well but I would need minimum 1 month notice. My spouse and I share a car- for now - so the weekly routine is from Monday- Friday 830 am - 3 pm that I am available unless already booked. I don't mind booking out if that's something desired. All pets require different care based on age, health, and personality. I do try to get as much energy out with dogs before leaving - I have been known to play fetch for hours- as well as attention. I require meeting both owners and pets before actually sitting, just to get an idea of how the owner is with their pets, as well as, their pets with their owners. I believe in positive reinforcement like rewards or positive affirmations (good boy, etc.). I also believe in routines for animals so if they take naps during certain times or medication, it'll need to be discussed in initial meeting.

“This is our second time having Lianna dog and cat sit. She was incredibly thoughtful and checked in regularly throughout our trip, including checking about medication for our dog. We loved getting the photos of our pets while away; it makes leaving a bit easier knowing we can count on Lianna to keep them company.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Verdoy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Verdoy is $104 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $73 and $130 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 579 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Verdoy. 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 Verdoy 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 Verdoy 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 Verdoy 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 Verdoy. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
