“We had such a great experience with Rose! She took amazing care of our dogs and kept us updated with pics and messages the whole time, which we really appreciated. Our dogs looked so happy and comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
“Erin was great! We had her looking after our cat for a long weekend and she was super communicative and left the house in better condition than when we left. At one point she mistakenly thought she broke something and told us right away and offered to pay for it, and that level of personal responsibility alone will have us booking her again. Our cat is also a really anxious type and it's obvious when he hasn't been well cared for as he'll stop cleaning himself, and we returned to a very happy and fluffy kitty. We will 100% have her back in the future.”
“When my house sitter had to have last minute surgery, Jordan was able to swoop in last minute. He took wonderful care of my house and pups and had great communication. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for +A sitting.”
“Nice was an awesome dog sitter for my pitbull! She was very responsive and kept me up to date with daily messages throughout the stay. I would highly recommend and use her again for future pup sitting! :)”
“Janelle took great care of our kitty Wooley while we were away - we came back to a very happy boy! Wooey has to have daily transdermal meds administered, and Janelle was able to handle all of Wooley's idiosyncratic needs with ease. Janelle provided 2x daily updates during the visit with ample pictures (including some fantastic action shots). Would recommend to anyone for their cat sitting needs”
“Conrad was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was very happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and pictures were sent as requested. We will definitely be using Conrad’s services again in the near future.”
“Amanda was great. Hallipeño, Salsita, and Ginger loved Amanda and snuggled every chance they got. She sent pictures and sent updates daily while I was away. I would definitely recommend Amanda and will book her again.”
“Danielle was great! She took amazing care of our dog Bean while we were gone for a 10 day trip, and she made us feel very at ease. Lots of photo updates, attentive care, and overall just a great experience.”
“I really loved how much time Kay took to spend with our little fur baby. She was also really great at keeping me posted and sending me super cute pics of my pup! I would definitely recommend!”
“Alicia is excellent! Watched our dogs over a weekend for us and took them on multiple walks, played with them in our backyard, brushed them, and sent plenty of update of pictures so we could see how much fun they were having with her. We would love to have her watch our pups again the next time we are out of town!”
“Aaliyah was fantastic! She stayed at our residence while we were on vacation. This was a last minute request from us on Rover. We were gone for 6 days. She took good care of our dogs. We asked her if she could stay until we got home Sunday, and without hesitation, she said yes. She left no messes in our home. We will definitely use her again.”
“Jenna was amazing with Mickey and with last minute coordination on my end. She was clear and communicative with any questions she had and left my home exactly how I left it. Honestly really appreciate Jenna’s flexibility and kindness with Mickey!”
About: I absolutely love caring for dogs of every age. I can keep up with the wild youngsters and also have experience taking care of seniors who have more regimented medical needs. I love taking pups for nice long walks and I work from home so it's easy for me to adjust my schedule to fit their routines. I work best when given specific care instructions and routines and am happy to work with any special needs your pups may have. I work remotely and have flexibility in my schedule which allows me to easily adjust to fit your pet's routine. Happy to take your pups for nice long walks or to the dog park to play and I also love to ensure I'm giving plenty of enrichment to any cats in my care. I currently don't have the space to board your babies in my home, but am more than happy to care for them in yours. As such, care standards will be agreed upon and met on a case by case basis. For instance if your babies aren't allowed in particular rooms ensuring we have a method for blocking their path. Or if your little one is very particular about their night-time meals and needs a routine, ensuring I have the tools to make sure they are set up for success. Every pet is unique and I want to make sure our careplan is tailored to their particular standards!
“Morgan is wonderful to work with! Very communicative and received regular updates with photos. I know our pup Todd is in good hands with Morgan and I can feel good about leaving town.”
“The dogs really enjoy when Carissa comes to stay. She's able to manage the range of my dogs needs from an energetic pup needing lots of walks and attention to shy guy needing lots of pets!”
“Kennedy was an absolute joy to work with and our doggos were so happy to be in their care. It was a refreshing experience as we had previously not had a good experience. Absolutely recommend booking with Kennedy! 10/10”
“Bryson did an awesome job with our two dogs. One is an older, sweet labradoodle but the other is a young, strong, stubborn giant schnauzer. He took care of them both perfectly - they miss him already! Bryson was also very communicative with me and helped me manage an unexpected scenario at my house while I was out of town. I was very grateful. Already asked him to come back again!”
“Adyson is so great! She saved me last-minute when my other sitter had to cancel 24 hrs before I went on a trip. My dog is sweet but very anxious, and she was fantastic with him! Followed instructions, sent helpful updates - would highly recommend!”

Taylor is an exceptional sitter. We are anxious, protective dog parents to a sensitive doodle with special diet requirements. Taylor handled him perfectly over a 4-night stay. She communicated regularly and proactively, sending multiple pictures each day. I felt completely comfortable with our pup in her care and won’t hesitate to use her again!
Michaela took care of our dogs for the day so we could to spend time with family - she was here right on time, communicative, left the place spotless, sent us updates of the pups throughout the day and took great care of them. When we got back they both seemed like they had a great, playful day. So nice to be able to spend the day away not worrying about them since they were in good hands 😊
Sydney was WONDERFUL! She treated my babies like her own. I can see how much she truly cares about animals and she was absolutely a surrogate mom to my babies while I was gone. I will always book her for my future sitting needs! She is remarkable. I can’t say enough good things about her!
Courtney was fantastic with our dog and two cats while we were on vacation for a week. She was very communicative and sent daily photos. She took great care of our pets and even understood how to handle one of our more spicy cats! Will absolutely have her over again in the future to watch our pets!
Fantastic! Hanna took great care of our pups, including taking them on their (much needed) daily walks. We have a senior dog that needs special care, and Hanna took great care of him. Hanna kept us in the loop with pictures of the dogs, daily updates, and took great care of the house and our pups while we were gone. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Welby is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $89 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.

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 Welby 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 Welby 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 Welby 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
