“After a late cancellation by our usual dog sitter for reasons beyond her control my son suggested Rover. In doing a search I found Nina who was close to us and thankfully available. We have a 4 year old German shepherd who is somewhat protective of my wife and I as well as our home; we also have a 1 year old Golden Retriever who is exceptionally shy. During the meet and greet it took all of 2 minutes for our shepherd to walk around the house licking Nina’s hand, Nina is a natural with dogs. It took a little longer for our shy little golden girl to warm up to her but it came through time and positive attention. Nina provided us with regular updates and excellent care for our beloved pups, we couldn’t ask for any more! On our return home the house was immaculate, the dogs were happy and well cared for, Nina was a star and set the bar so high that in the future we’ll be making our vacation plans around Nina’s availability! Rover provided us with a great communication platform and peace of mind for our dog’s care in our absence. Do we recommend Rover: Yes, do we recommend Nina: absolutely!!”
“Thank you, Caitlin!! Caitlin was communicative and loving to Tuna. She took great care of her while I was traveling. I appreciate her very much and will rebook with her for any future trips!”
“Jonathan watched my dog Werewolf while I was away for four days. He cleaned up after two accidents in the house and took him for multiple walks per day. He kept me updated with tons of photos and took excellent care of him. I will definitely use him again.”
“Christina is truly the sweetest and most caring pet sitter! She has such a genuine love for animals and it really shines through from the moment we met and throughout the entire pet sitting stay. She kept us informed with lots of cute pictures and videos throughout the weekend, and was really on top of the specific needs for our senior dog.”
“Rachel was wonderful with our Maggie! She was very responsive to our text messages and also so flexible with our schedules and everything involving our dog. She stayed in our home with Maggie, and we returned to our house the way we left it. We highly recommend Rachel for your next pet sitter!”
“Mickey took excellent care of my older pup. She kept me well informed and sent lots of pictures. I came home to a happy and healthy pet. I would highly recommend Mickey and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“This was our second time having Sarah stay with our dog. I couldn’t ask for a better experience! Sarah was excellent at keeping in touch, our dog was happy and well cared for. Our dog has some special needs and I always worry about leaving him but Sarah was amazing at understanding him and his needs. The house was exactly as we left it. Overall, a fantastic experience!”
“Haley is a wonderful person and an excellent caretaker for our dogs! She is very prompt, thorough, helpful, understanding, and shows a lot of flexibility. We knew when we left for a week that our dogs would be well cared for and loved by her. Hands down we would 1000% book her again!”
“Forest was great with our pup Sherlock! He stayed with him in our house during the Christmas holidays for 8 days. We stayed in touch during the stay with texts and he sent some pictures. When we came back the dog was happy and our house clean, we couldn’t ask for more! Thank you, Forest!”
“Haley was absolutely incredible! Our dogs have been sat before and when we come home they seem to be in a funk. But with Haley, it felt as though our pups had been so well taken care of! Not to mention our home was so cared for as well. She was very communicative, and open! Highly highly recommend her! She’s just lovely!”
“Kara did a great job taking care of Tiki😊. She asked questions when needed and sent updates and photos daily. This was my first experience with having someone petting for a week and I was able to relax without worry. I will definitely reach out again!”
“Becca is wonderful with my very high energy and high maintenance German Shorthaired Pointers. There isn't anyone else that I trust them with. She is reliable, communicative, and goes above and beyond.”
“Abigail was amazing with my 3 crazy pups! We needed someone last minute to watch our dogs for our wedding and Abigail did a meet and greet and my dogs loved her! My boy is very anxious and ended up loving her! We really appreciated her and will be using her in the future anytime we need someone!”
“Katy house sat our two rescue dogs over a long weekend and she was incredible! She was very detail oriented, followed all instructions and communicated very effectively while we were away, which included great pup pics! Most importantly she took the time to understand one of our dogs specific needs, he was abused in a previous life and can be reactive to new people and she made sure to gain his trust. She is very confident with dogs (both large and small since we have both) and even cleaned our house so that we came home to a tidier space than we left. She went above and beyond, I highly recommend her!!”
About: My mother had a boarding company so I spent a lot of my childhood helping care for all the doggos. I have also volunteered at numerous shelters & farm sanctuaries & have helped care for even more than just cats & dogs. I also have an 8 year old chocolate lab & 2 five year old kitties myself that I love & care for every day. I am currently working part time, with availability anytime after 4 pm Monday through Thursday! In the next 3 weeks my availability will open up a little bit more! I was raised around both cats & dogs & have a very good understanding of how to read both animals. I have a very soft calm aura as well as a lot of love & patience to build trust with the fur babies.

FAQs for House Sitting - Williston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 569 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Williston. 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 Williston 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 Williston 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 Williston 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 Williston. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 85% 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.
