About: I’ve been the primary care taker for family dogs since the age of 7. I focus on proper nutrition and activity, supplemented by extraordinary love and affection for all animals; though dogs tend to get a little more :) Flexible work hours allow me to care for your dogs at odd hours of the day, and can often make special trips if need be. Set schedules are ideal, but flexible caring is not out of the question! I work from home during the weekends and would be able to provide care during those times as well. I have a rather large fenced in yard, with access to water and air conditioning (via doggy door). I have a roommate who is the proud owner of an English Creme Golden and is able to provide extra TLC should your dog need it! We have two dogs in the home, a lab mix and English Creme Golden, both are submissive and quiet, with a love for the outdoors and lots of naps.
“Luke was amazing! He was very communicative and sent us photos daily. Came back to a pristine house and a happy healthy dog. We will definitely be using Luke again for future trips.”
“I felt reassured going out of town leaving the dogs in Steffanie’s care. She checked in with me regularly, took great care of the dogs, and sent photos of them out and about each day.”
“Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs. She was very thoughtful and communicated well while I was away. She kept the house tidy and the dogs seemed happy when I returned. I would highly recommend her services!”
“We loved having our pup stay with Jana! Our dog was one of the crew at Jana’s while we were traveling, and it felt like leaving her with a friend. Couldn’t ask for a better setup.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about our Rover sitter! She was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Her communication was fantastic, she kept us updated throughout the weekend, and most importantly, she took amazing care of our dogs and our home. It was such a relief knowing everything was in such capable, caring hands while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a house that was just as we left it. She truly went above and beyond and exceeded every expectation! We would absolutely book her again without hesitation. 10 out of 10, HIGHLY recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Ella took great care of Max & Annie while we were gone for the weekend. They were walked, fed and happy when we returned. She is very reliable, easy to work with and obviously loves animals!”
“Daniela was amazing to have stay in our home and care for our 4 fur-babies while we were away. She was attentive, communicative, and demonstrated great compassion for our animals. I would absolutely recommend Daniela for your pet/house-sitting needs!”
“Payton was so incredible with our pup! She sent lots of photos and updates, I could tell our dog was in great hands. She was super flexible and accommodating to his schedule. I would highly recommend her services, we’ll be using her again for sure!”
“Nell was an EXCELLENT sitter for us!! Cosmo and Nova are pretty energetic pups requiring plenty of play time and walks and Nell kept up with them so we'll. She kept us updated at least twice a day with some frame worthy photos! And was a great communicator throughout her stay regarding house things, her schedule, etc. She also stayed with us after we just sold our home and accommodated and assisted us with the pups during things like inspections and house visits from our realtor that had to take place during her time. Cosmo and Nova love Nell! We hope someday our paths will cross again 😊”
About: I have years of personal experience owning and caring for dogs of all types, sizes, and personalities. Being around dogs has given me an understanding of how each one has their own unique needs, temperament, and personality. I’m patient, loving, and attentive, and I enjoy making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your furry family member with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. ❤️🐾 I’m currently working part time out of my home so I have open availability for boarding, pet sitting, or caring for your pets/fur babies. I have a cozy apartment with open space for your fur babies to roam and play. We have nice walking areas and a pet playground. I’m also able to crate your pet if needed.
About: I’ve had pets all my life. The last 15 years have been with my sweet foxhound, Lego and for 4 of those with my laid back Bombay cat, Ivy. I’m a recent empty nester looking to put extra time to good use by caring for others’ loved pets. I work full time from home, and have a doggie door to my back yard that my work space overlooks. I like to take breaks and walk myself, so having a companion during those breaks would be great! I have a large fenced in yard and easy access from my kitchen. I also work from home and am able to go outside or walk pets as needed.
“She was great! Would definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies. We have two cats who are very needy and when we got home, it was obvious they were taken care of and were happy. Will definitely been using her again for our next trip!”
“Anna was amazing with our cat and home. We are so thankful for her care and communication. Her flexibility when our travel plans were delayed was a lifesaver.”
About: I have pet care experience from my Labradoodle for the last 12 years as well as have pet sat for all kinds of dogs and cats. I’ve also had a a variety of pets from fish to birds to leopard geckos! I love animals and would be honored to be a part of your pet care! I’m a recent college grad with a pretty flexible schedule :) I’m available for daytime feeding and walk visits as well as overnight stays! I live close to downtown gvl and right next to the swamp rabbit trail if your pet would enjoy a trail walk! I am experienced in feeding, walking, and general care for all breeds and sizes! I have always been an animal lover and enjoy caring for all kinds of animals!
“Kayleigh was great! She was flexible with our needs and took great care of our babies while we were out of town. She had an open line of communication with us and she asked questions to make sure she gave them the best care. The dogs were relaxed and happy when we got back. 🙂🙂”
“Caroline was perfect! She did an in home stay with Ava Riley. Ava has never been crated or boarded and feels most comfortable in her own home getting lots of love and snuggles. I can tell she spent lots of time with Ava, relaxing and making sure she was loved and comfortable. She gave daily updates with pics/video, had no issues, and I felt safe and comfortable having her in my home and taking care of my girl. Caroline definitely surpassed expectations and we can't wait to rebook her!”
“First time using Grace for our Pet Sitter and we couldn’t be happier with her. Grace is the sweetest, kindest young lady who took such great care of our 3 pups while we were out of town for 4 days. Great communication and daily photos of our pups. She administered daily eye medication in our two older dogs and brushed them daily. Grace took such great care and love for our babies. She left our home immaculate and followed our direction to the letter. We will certainly be using her services again! Thank you Grace!”

Tanya is the dream pet sitter! I was able to fully enjoy a two week trip knowing my dog was in the best hands. She sent the cutest pictures each day, always kept me updated, followed all instructions, and even celebrated my dog’s birthday while I was gone! I even returned home to a spotless apartment and clean sheets! I would recommend Tanya to anyone!
Our go-to sitter. Jana not only took excellent care of our pets, sent photos and updates, took our dog to parks/brushed her, and spent a ton of time with all of the pets, she also took excellent care of our home. In the past traveling has been stressful, worrying about the pets. That has been erased. Genuine peace of mind knowing Jana is looking after our animals. Meeka (our dog) loves her! We are so thankful and appreciative and will be booking any other time we are away.
Outstanding Lisa I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lisa ! My dog became sick before I have to travel out of state as while I was away, and she handled the situation with such care, patience, and compassion. She kept a close eye on my dog, communicated with me promptly, and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire experience. Knowing that someone was there who genuinely cared about my dog and treated them like their own gave me tremendous peace of mind. Their responsibility, kindness, and calmness during a stressful situation meant so much to me. I highly recommend this pet sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. I would absolutely use her again! Thank you so much Lisa you are amazing!!
We had a great experience! She stayed at our home for the weekend and took wonderful care of our dog. He absolutely loved her and was happy and relaxed when we got home. She kept us updated, treated our home with respect, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Ana was an outstanding house and pet sitter! She took wonderful care of our home and our six pets (2 dogs and 4 cats), including giving one of our dogs daily medication and making sure the dogs got their daily walks. Her communication was exceptional. Every day she sent multiple photos, videos, and detailed updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She even went above and beyond by taking our trash out after I forgot to put it out before we left. We came home to happy pets and a well-cared-for home. I highly recommend Ana and would absolutely book her again!
We loved Samantha! She was so patient with our girl who was acting a bit shy throughout the stay and kept us up to date with what was going on with both dogs. The house was in great shape when we came back and both dogs were clearly loved while we were gone. We will for sure be booking with her again!
I cannot recommend Sara enough to anyone looking for a dog sitter. She sent plenty of detailed updates about our sweet girls, it was great to see they had a wonderful time while traveling. She always takes wonderful care of them and leaves our home in great condition. When our flight got canceled on our last trip she was even willing to extend the booking to make sure our sweet girls were taken care of. If you love your dogs (like I’m sure you all do) Sara is the best dog sitter out there. I would leave her 1,000 stars if I could!
Kristen did such a great job watching Piper! I can’t speak highly enough about her. She loved on my girl so well while I was gone and was very responsive anytime I needed to check-in. I will definitely be using her again for Piper the next time I go out of town!
Regan was a phenomenal sitter for our cat Scar. She was on top of communication with us and always sent pictures. When we had our meet and greet with her, we got along great and our cat went right up to her. She is trustworthy and what you look for in a Rover sitter.

The average cost of House Sitting in Welcome is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $71 per night.

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 Welcome 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 Welcome 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 Welcome 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
