“Christopher was amazing to have as a house and pet sitter. He kept me up to date on the happenings of my two stubborn dogs and the crazy cat with photos. And when he left the house he left it the way he found it. would highly recommended for pet and house sitting needs and will be using him in the future.”
“Jessica was wonderful with Dublin. She was genuine, kind, and communicative from our first message. We came home to a happy dog and the sweetest surprise. Highly recommended!!”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Madeline, was AWESOME!! Unfortunately our dog wasn't doing great before we left and she was aware of that and did everything to help him be comfortable. Then his injury got worse and she phoned and updated us on everything happening and we drove home. Hands down she is the BEST dog sitter we have had and Biscuit 🐶LOVES her❤️”
“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.”
“Tindle was AMAZING! She gave consistent updates and photos of our dog and he loved her! I would fully recommend using her services and I will be booking with her again in the future. She is super sweet with our pup and took care of everything that was asked and more! Cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Alexis was wonderful! Zephy obviously loved her! I came home to a relaxed, happy dog and a neat house. Never once had to ask for an update, because she sent pictures and updates regularly. I will definitely book her again!”
“Haylee is a very sweet and reliable person. Lucky loved her and she was very good to him. My neighbors all want to use her since I told them how satisfied I was with her. Hopefully, I can get her again.”
“Athena did a great job house sitting and taking care of my dog. She sent frequent updates and pictures and I was never worried about my dog while I was on vacation.”
“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!!”
“Cindy is amazing!! She kept me up-to-date on Riley all throughout the weekend and sent the cutest pictures of her. She took such good care of Riley and the house. I felt so good knowing that Riley was in good and loving hands. I highly recommend her and look forward to having Cindy again!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with two West Highland White Terriers (Westies) and have also cared for puppies through pet sitting. I currently have two dogs of my own—a 2-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer and a 4-year-old Golden Retriever—so I’m very familiar with keeping active dogs happy, healthy, and entertained. As a medical student, I have a flexible schedule during my free time and would love to spend it giving your pet the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own! My routine does tend to change depending on my medical school schedule. I will do my best to communicate if there is any scheduling concerns, although I will be very thorough providing care to your pet! I have a lot of experience with handling dogs and I am also a very clean and tidy person. I will make sure the dog is well taken care of in all aspects and that they are happy and well loved by me!
“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.”
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been a big animal person. I used to have a dog and cat and absolutely loved to spend time with them. I like going on walks and running during my free times. I’ve taken care of my friend’s dogs, and they know that I’m very big on making sure they are taken good care of. I treat every animal as though they were my own. I would love going on walks and playing with your fur babies. 🐶🐾 I work a full time job but have Friday, Saturday and Sundays off and would love to be able to help out anyone with taking care of their pets. I have church on Sunday mornings but after that I am free all day. I like going to the park and going on runs or a nice walk. I have a big fenced yard and will watch your fur babies as they play outside and make sure to show they so much attention . I will also make sure anything that could potentially be a problem be up high and out of reach so that your dogs will not get hurt or accidentally eat anything they shouldn’t.
About: I’ve owned big and small dogs! From a pit bull to a terrier. Took care of my susy girl for 10 years, she was diabetic so i am experienced with medication and injections. I am a student and work full time in the afternoons but I am free every Thursday and Fridays! and Sunday to Wednesday from 11-2pm. I can drop by or dog sit. I have one small friendly terrier who lives inside and is welcoming to all pets. 4 friendly cats. Fenced yard! Furniture friendly to all fur babies
About: Hi my name is Gavin and I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life! I have always lived with at least 3 at a time. My love and appreciation for Dogs are endless! I’ve had big and small dogs, pit bulls and pugs to German Shepherd. My special skills include handling big, hyper and clingy dogs but of course I love small dogs! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m generally free Monday through Wednesday aside from brief errands. This allows me to spend most of the day with pets while house sitting and gives me plenty of flexibility for drop-in visits and walks. I can plan my day around each pet’s normal feeding, potty, exercise, and care schedule so they receive consistent attention and companionship. I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routine and their owner’s instructions as closely as possible. I provide feeding and fresh water, walks and potty breaks, playtime and companionship, and litter-box or basic cleanup. I’m also comfortable giving oral and topical medications, as I give my own cat oral medication every day. I’ll send photos and updates as often as the owner prefers, and I’ll always treat their pet and home with care and respect.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Welcome is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Welcome
Lori has watched our home and fur babies many of times now and has consistently set the bar on the type of care you’d hope for! Great communication, very reliable, gives them the exercise and loving they need, and is very respectful to our home. We love Lori!
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.
We love having Tanya stay with Walter. She's so communicative, sends lots of photos, and makes sure Walter gets the exercise and attention he needs. She's such a great houseguest as well. 10/10 recommend anytime!! We'll be using her as long as she's willing! :)

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Welcome on Rover is $57.72 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 1,066 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Welcome. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Welcome. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
