“Nice is amazing. Our sweet Jax seemed so comfortable with her, which put us at ease given his age and the fact that we were so far away from home. She sent a bunch of pictures and updates; we never worried once, which was so comforting. Nice treated our home and our dog as if they were hers. Next time we plan a vacation, we’re definitely contacting Nice!”
“Sam was amazing with our puppy Millie. This was our first time leaving Millie home alone for a week so we were a bit nervous about who could take care of her while we were gone. A relative recommended Sam and we contacted her right away. She was quick to reply and flexible. This was also our first time using Rover and it was great! Sam was amazing and Millie loved her new play buddy. I loved the updates and photos/videos that we got of Millie, it really put us at ease. Thank you Sam!”
“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!”
“We don’t have enough nice things to say about Amy. Our pup LOVES her and might even be a bit disappointed when we return home. Thank you for sharing your time with Telly!”
“Taylor did a fantastic job. Our dogs have never been separated from us and they were content and themselves on our return. The house was the same as we left mail neatly stacked on the counter. Couldn’t ask for more”
“So glad that Carissa was available to watch my babies for a long weekend! She was great with updates and pictures and I felt really good knowing she was there with them. She took wonderful care of my babies and my home, leaving my place so clean and nice. She’s a gem and I will absolutely use her again! Thank you Carissa! 🙏”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Kaisa was wonderful and the communication the whole time was amazing. We got lots of updates and photos throughout the whole stay, and our pets were super happy and healthy. We were gone for over a week and our dog can be shy with new people, but Kaisa treated our home and pets with excellent care!”
“We are thankful to be safely back to our home and dog after a short trip away so soon after being gone the better part of a week for our daughter's wedding. April did not disappoint! We returned to a happy dog and a tidy home! We were worried about delays at the airports and April was willing to come to the rescue if it was needed. Thank you, April!”
About: Hi! I've been house sitting/pet sitting every weekend for the last 2 years now! Animals have always been a huge part of my life weather it's just a friends dog or my dog! I'm currently going into my Junior year of college and am in need of a job to get some money to pay for school this coming year! I have 2 dogs! I obviously make sure they are feed and have water! I take them on walk when they time is appropriate so when it's not to hot outside and they paw pads will burn but when it's both convenient for me and the dog! I give my dogs bath and play with them and make sure they have everything they need!
“Scarlett is the type of sitter you hope to find on here! They are extremely professional and communicate extremely well! Lucky I found them and will continue to book with them for my pet needs!”
“My puppies (Great Danes) absolutely fell in love with Felicity and she was in regular communication about them. I felt very safe and secure knowing my babies were in amazing hands!”
“John and Chantal were great with our pets and house - they handled everything and kept us up on to date on how our fur-kids were doing the entire time. They've also done daily cat drop-ins for us and were awesome with that as well. Will definitely reschedule with them whenever possible!”
“Anna did a great job handling our two neurodivergent older Chihuahuas! She kept us informed and left our home in an immaculate condition. We have already booked her for a second engagement in August.”
About: I trained 4 puppies till old. I can do calm scenic walks, hikes, and light runs. I love taking dogs to explore with me. I have also cared for senior dogs helping them do whatever they need. I work full time, Tuesday-Friday. I am a part time college student. I enjoy being around animals while working on school or in my free time I have a big yard with lots of toys for dogs, completely fenced in. At a clients home, I would follow rules set up by the client and try and get some around the house chores done during my time in the house. I like to find good paths or trails around a clients home to take dogs walking on.
“This is the second time Jennifer has watched my senior dog for me and I never have to worry knowing she is watching him for me. I get regular message updates along with pictures of how my dog is doing. Highly recommend booking with Jennifer!!”
“Dionne took great care of our pets for over a week, including 4th of July. They were amazingly relaxed when we got home! Our house was spotless as well. Thank you so much!”
“Scott is amazing to work with. He was very interactive with our dog and two cats, sending detailed daily reports and amazing pictures! He was very respectful of our home and left the place neat and clean. He genuinely cares about your animals and ensuring all of their needs are met. We have one rescue kitty who hides from strangers and Scott made extra effort to seek him out daily and give him some loving. If Scott is your sitter, relax and have a good trip because your fur babies are in great hands!”

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 😊
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Welby on Rover is $43.99 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 8,942 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.
