“Communication with Allison was great and I always knew my dogs were doing well. She took great care of the dogs and my house, and my dogs instantly liked her. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kristen was right on time! We had a nice meet and greet with Bruno. She was very sweet and gentle with Bruno. He is timid because we just rescued him last year. We are working on him to trust her. Definitely will have her back.”
“Miranda was amazing with our two boys. We found ourselves in a pinch and Miranda stepped up and was a huge help. Very grateful for her communication and flexibility. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“If I could give Nina 10 stars, I absolutely would! Recently, I had the pleasure of entrusting my two German Shepherds to Nina's care, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first communication, I felt completely confident that my dogs were in the best possible hands. Nina's professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine love for animals are truly exceptional. Throughout her time with my pups, Nina provided regular updates twice a day – morning and evening – which was the perfect amount. The photos and videos she sent gave me immense peace of mind, knowing my pets were happy and well-cared for. It was evident from the updates that Nina prioritized my dogs' needs and routines with impeccable attention to detail. My dogs not only received plenty of exercise and took their medicine as needed, but they also enjoyed lots of love and cuddles. Even my shy pup quickly warmed up to Nina, relishing every moment of their time together. We returned home to very content dogs and a spotless house. Nina is not just a dog sitter; she is a true animal lover who treats your pets as if they were her own. If you are searching for a trustworthy, caring, and exceptional dog sitter, look no further than Nina. She is simply the best!”
About: I have two dogs of my own that I've been helping take care of for twelve years. I've also dog sat for my friends while they were on vacation. I’m currently available for pet care 7 days a week with notice. I am also currently available any time of day and would love to meet your dogs! I can play with and walk your pups and I'm very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. There are no dogs that I don't love.
“Reed was fantastic! His communication was excellent and he provided updates so we knew he and our dog were both doing great. He showed up on time and was flexible about when he’d depart wanting to ensure our pup wouldn’t be alone too long. Thank you Reed!”
“Kim is an AMAZING dogsitter. Her communication and updates were above and beyond. We knew that our sweet hound was safe and happy with her. She is incredibly responsive, friendly, and professional. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve lived on a farm, taking care of a variety of critters, since I was 9. I grew up with dogs, cats, and other farm animals, and was trusted to feed, walk, and care for them. I also have experience dog sitting, as I’ve done it for relatives and friends in the past. More recently I’ve gained experience volunteering at the Chittenden Humane Society, taking care of their kittens. As a full time senior at UVM, most of my weekends are free and I have quite a bit of free time during the week. I’m out of class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday by 11:00am, and every Tuesday and Thursday by 5:00 pm. I would be more than happy to spend that free time petsitting, whether it be a long walk or multiple check-ins throughout the day. In my own home, I walk my dogs twice every day(about an hour each time). On my family’s farm, it’s also my job to let out the animals, muck stalls, feed and water them, and clean them when needed. With my cats, they tend to graze, so I set out their food in different spots and they’ll eat when hungry. The chickens get let out in the morning to roam and put back in the evening. For people I’ve dog sat for before, I’ve done a variety of things depending on the dog. Sometimes it has been a check-in and make sure there’s food, water, and a potty break. Other times it had been walking or full-time care.
“No short of a dynamic duo - this was our first foray into Rover, and it went so much smoother than we could even hope! Our pup had great care, we got regular updates with photos, and felt super at ease leaving our dog home while we attended an important family event. We'll definitely work with Naomi & Hannah again!”
About: Experience with dogs of all ages & breeds, able to provide regular or one time dog walking of any preferred distance & occasional dog sitting as needed! I work as a nurse with a very flexible schedule- able to provide Monday & Tuesday regular visits/walks and Wed-Sun every other week. Can do anytime that works for you! My home has one cat so only able to provide in house visits with cat friendly dogs! Visits in client homes preferred, but can accommodate occasional boarding.
“Kelly was amazing! We felt so good knowing that Tuna and Lizzie were so well cared for. She was communicative and professional and seemed to really “get” our dogs. We would definitely recommend her for overnight care!”
“Amazing job! Ale and Paul took great care of our three pets, a dog and two cats for a whole week. Our house was exactly as we left it. Communication was smooth and very reactive. I 100% recommend them and would book them again. Thank you!!”
About: My family has always described me as an “animal whisperer” as I seem to draw the love and attention from cats and dogs. I have spent quite some time sitting for my family member’s pets. I would be honored to give your cat/dog company, plenty of pets, kisses, playtime, food, or whatever else they may need. At the moment, I am very flexible especially if you live in Essex Junction! Any day of the week works for me as well as most times of day. My own dog gets lots of play time inside, as well as leashed walks and runs. Whatever you need at your home, I can make that happen.
“We were comfortable with Janessa during the initial meeting, and were further assured through her continued care and communication during her stay. We will be having Janessa return to care for Molly again soon.”

Elizabeth is awesome!!! She communicated well and took great care of our boys! One of them is older and I worry about him but she was so sweet and made me feel at ease the entire weekend. Will definitely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!
Lou did a wonderful job. We have three dogs and returned home to find them happy, healthy, and totally relaxed. Communications while we’re away were incredibly easy and timely. The house was in great shape upon our return. We have total confidence in him and will most certainly look forward to having him look after our pups again in the future.
Reed deserves his top rating. He was always timely, and visited us to get to know Dallas before my trip. He was also very flexible as my flight time changed a bit, and made sure Dallas was not alone too long.I enjoyed the daily updates and photos and think Dallas had a really good time with Reed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Williston is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $113 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Williston. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
