“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!”
“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my babies :) she walked Bee, made sure she took her medicine, and gave them both plenty of snuggles. I would absolutely rebook if needed <3”
“Carissa took wonderful care of our 2 young kitties while we were away for our wedding weekend and also our overseas honeymoon - 2 weeks in total. She was great about communicating and sending photos, and it felt like our boys were truly loved by her 😊 We knew from her profile and conversations that she had done more dog sitting than cat sitting, but we felt she did a great job of getting to know and connect with our cats while we were away. She snuggled lots with our snuggly boy and “cracked the code” to bond with our other kitty who can be a little feisty and particular 😂 We came home to a clean house and peaceful kitties. Thank you, Carissa - we’d be happy to have you back in the future!”
“Our dogs were immediately comfortable with McKenna when they first met her. We had to take a last minute trip and she took great care of them! We can tell our dogs really enjoyed their time with her. I would not hesitate to book her again! Thank you!”
“Erin was amazing!! We got lots of updates throughout the days we were gone and the animals were so well taken care of. She had to help us inject our diabetic kitty with insulin twice a day and was able to do that flawlessly. I highly recommend Erin to anyone for her great services! Thank you again 🤗”
About: Animal lover alert! I have a deep love and connection for all living things, especially cats and dogs. I currently have three, yes THREE, cats of my own. I grew up with very large dogs, and spent a lot of my free time sitting for friends and family. I have experience with baby animal care, including bottle feeding kittens. I have the patience and steady hand for seniors and animals that require more care. I’m not afraid to administer medication or handle behavioral issues. I am responsible, knowledgeable, and have a keen eye for detail. Above all, I love learning and spending time with pets! My schedule is currently quite flexible during the weekdays, and weekends are open for more involved care. Currently, my part time job allows me to adjust my schedule weekly, sometimes daily, since our work is project based. I have the ability to go on day-of walks or quick drop ins on demand depending on the day and time. Your house, your rules! I can accommodate whatever needs are necessary based on the type of pet you have and how your home is set up. I’m happy to uphold any routine! Special instructions are my speciality.
“Sydney is amazing! Our (rescued) dog is incredibly codependent and naturally anxious, so she does best to have someone with her when my husband and I are gone for an entire day - Sydney helped watched her, and when we came home our pup was nice and relaxed - a fantastic sign that she was well loved! We’ll definitely be booking Sydney again :)”
“Felicity did a wonderful job! I genuinely felt like she cared for my pets as if they were own and she sent me so many pictures !! I will definitely utilize her in the future and I hope others do too ! 🥰”
“Nice was a pleasure to work with. From the meet and greet through the weekend, she was very communicative and just so sweet with our senior pup. He developed a bit of a GI bug and she hand fed him chicken to make sure he got his pills down. She sent photos and updates each day and left our house tidy. I would definitely recommend working with Nice for your pet care/house sitting needs!”
“Danielle was great with watching Mila at my home! Very commutative and prompt with responding. The litter box and house was left clean. I look forward to rebooking in the future :)”
“Ashlyn took superb care of our greyhounds and our home. We returned to a clean house and relaxed dogs, not to mention our own significantly reduced stress! She remained unfazed and handily cleaned up after accidents from our excited pee-er. Thank you so much!”
“Taylor did a great job taking care of our girl while we were out of town for the weekend. She had great communication and sent pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her!”
“My girls absolutely adored her! They were well taken care of. I got all the fun updates and pictures. My two dachshunds can really be a handful but they warmed up to Margie so fast. I definitely will use her again in the future!”
“Lauren was an incredible sitter for Stella during our honeymoon. We were out of the country and had so much peace of mind and reassurance. She did a great job updating us and we could tell our dog was doing really well, thanks for Lauren. We are so grateful!”
“Haley did a great job watching my 4 month old puppy for a few days when I had to be in the office. He was happy and well cared for and she left my house exactly as she found it. I’d recommended her for any of your pet care needs!”
“Alicia did an amazing job taking care of our dog! She gave him so much attention and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We really appreciated the regular updates and adorable pictures she sent, which let us know he was happy and well cared for. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. We would absolutely book with Alicia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Jeffery was great with our pets. He sent pictures every day and he let me know how they were doing. Our pup loves him from the first time they met to when Jeffery dropped off the key- Chip was always excited to see him!”
“Hannah is such a great house/cat/pet sitter! She has been to our home 2x now & truly is so easy to work with. She is reliable, so kind, sends tons of photos, super communicative, and clean! You can also tell she really loves animals which is a huge part of why I book her everytime! I really appreciate Hannah! Thank you so much.”

Erika did a wonderful job with my puppy. She was on time, communicative, sent videos and photos, followed care instructions, and my puppy was so happy to see her. Coordinating with Erika was very simple and she was super accommodating to my requests. I would definitely book her again.
Kathaleen was so great to our fur babies while we were away. We have a pretty high maintenance puppy who takes a while to warm up to strangers. She was kind and patient with her and we definitely appreciate that. Our other old man dog and two kitties looked like they had a great weekend - Kathaleen was very communicative and sent lots of photo updates while we were gone 😁 We will 100% book Kathaleen again!
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!
Emma helped us out when my trip had to be rescheduled for an urgent family health issue. She stayed overnight and also made sure that Lucy wasn't left alone for long stretches of time during the day, which was extremely helpful and appreciated. She was flexible and worked with me on ensuring Lucy's schedule was kept as consistent as possible, including working around an existing dog walking schedule (with a separate company) that I wanted to keep. The house was clean and Lucy was happy and healthy when I returned home! I would recommend Emma!
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!
McKenna was a great sitter for our 5 month old pup, Honey! She stayed with Honey for 3 nights and was a great communicator and sent pics and updates. I was never worried that she was going to dissappear. When we got back Honey was in a good mood and the house was in great shape. We hope to have her back next time we leave town. Thank you, McKenna!!
Miriam was the best sitter I've had for Gus in years! During our meet & greet, she brought her own questions about my home and her stay which felt proactive. Before her stay with Gus, we chatted about last minute questions and details, and she was flexible and communicative with me about her arrival time. During her stay, she was extremely communicative with tons of detailed updates and pictures of Gus, and I really appreciated that if she had a question about something, she didn't hesitate to ask. When we got home, our house was immaculate - she even vacuumed! Highly recommend booking Miriam to stay with your fur babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Welby
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Welby on Rover is $43.99 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 8,977 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Welby. 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
