“Mark was absolutely wonderful! He's reliable, punctual, and so easy to communicate with. He sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the day, which really put us at ease. Coco was genuinely happy to see him and couldn’t wait to hop in the car for a ride to a nearby dog run. It was clear she felt comfortable and cared for. Knowing Coco was in such great hands while we were skiing at Stratton made all the difference. We’re incredibly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone.”

“Taylor was incredible and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! She was responsive to messages from the start, was quick to confirm her availability and set up a meet & greet, and took amazing care of our dogs while we were away. She sent daily updates with pictures, which were so much fun to receive! We would absolutely hire Taylor again the next time we travel.”

About: I don’t just love animals, I have been around them since the day I was born. I have had cats, dogs, birds, and small rodents since I was born. I have taken care of these animals from a very young age and believe I have a natural understanding of pets and their behaviors! I currently work full time at a middle school in Albany where my hours are 8 AM to 3 PM. Otherwise, I am usually free and have more availability on weekends, during school breaks and over the summer. I currently am a cat mom and keep all of my cats indoors. When I owned dogs and other animals in the past, I make sure to tend to their unique needs whether that mean adhering to a medication regimen or putting them in their cage/crate as needed.

“Caitlyn is wonderful. We haven't been able to travel on vacation w our herd of animals and finding Caitlyn and feeling comftorble to leave them home with her has been a life changer for us. Being able to go away and leave them home in her care brings so much peace of mind to us and lots of fun for our fur and feathered babies! Can't say enough about her .Just very happy to have found her”

“Lianna is very responsible, communicative, and reliable. I booked her for a 9-day house sitting to take care of my 3 dogs while my family and I were on a vacation. She sent daily updates and pictures so I knew the dogs were getting walked and also getting quality "people time" on the couch! When we returned home, the house looked as clean if not cleaner than when we left. This was my first time hiring a house sitter and my first time using Rover, so I booked Lianna for a couple short drop-in visits so she and the dogs could get acquainted with each other before the long house sitting. I was pleased and comfortable with how she conducted herself and how she interacted with the dogs. In the past, I have boarded my dogs at the vet, but Lianna provided a better alternative at a lower price. The dogs got more exercise and more human interaction than boarding and the added benefit is that my house was being looked after as well. I highly recommend Lianna.”

“Highest praise and accolades to Sadie whom we recently hired to stay with our newly adopted rescue Elkie. We can’t find words to express how satisfied we are with the care and communication we experienced with Sadie. Before our booking date Sadie took it upon herself to visit with us to confirm that she would be a goof fit with our dog. On the day of our departure Sadie showed up early, well before the time we had requested. Our Elkie has a number of issues, the greatest of which is separation anxiety and having Sadie stay in our home to provide comfort and care was our number one priority. Sadie provided everything we had hoped for, and sent us regular updates that allowed us to enjoy our time away without any concern for the needs of our dog. Sadie is a caregiver whom you can trust with you pet and home for your time away. We will absolutely call on her again for future bookings when we have a need to leave our pet home. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I have taken care of animals for over 10 years. I worked at two doggie daycares in CT. Each were different environments such as in home and pack care. I really enjoyed building relationships with the animals and owners. It’s a passion of mine. I’m currently looking for something to offset school and life costs, I have recently decided to go back to school to study radiology. I would like something I can do around my schedule. I do work from 7am-3pm. I have three cats, I take care of them like my children. They only get the best! I would take care of your fur baby like my own.

I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how your little one is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventures or prefers relaxing and cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve.

Katie was fantastic! She clearly loves cats and even looked in on our chickens making sure they were happy. She came exactly on time and gave Charlie lots of attention as well as feeding him and scooping the litter box. We couldn't have been happier having her at our house!

Gracelyn did a great job caring for our pups! We discovered the day we left that Mari had diarrhea – – probably from eating something in our yard – – but Gracelyn took all that in stride and fixed rice and chicken for her until it cleared up. Zinc, our 15 1/2 year-old dog, ran out of medicine halfway through our time away, and Gracelyn took care of contacting the vet and getting the refill he needed. The house was well maintained and the pups were happy. We plan to engage Gracelyn in the future and we highly recommend her to care for your pups as well.

FAQs for House Sitting - Victory Mills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Victory Mills is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $80 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 562 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Victory Mills. 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 Victory Mills 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 Victory Mills 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 Victory Mills 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 Victory Mills. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
