Communication was great from start to finish, and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I really appreciated how accommodating and dependable she was. I would definitely book with Artiss again! 10/10 would Recommend.”

“Karen is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! She took care of our cats while we were away for about 2 weeks. Our cats are elderly and are not the easiest to deal with, Karen was attentive to their special needs and just went out of her way to ensure they were comfortable and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs. We travel often and will use her again and again”

“All I can say (write) are words of praise and gratitude for Lisa. She is Amazing! She is so attentive, considerate and truly super sweet. I received pictures and updates. My girl (dog) fell in love with Lisa, which shows and proves how well Lisa took care of her. Lisa not only fed my girl by my noted instructions, she also washed all of my pets feeding measurement cups. that was a detail that blew me away. I didnt ask for any of that. Lisa went above and beyond. It was really cold and Lisa walked my girl and let her enjoy a little outdoors. I didnt stress on my out of town travels as my girl (dog) was in good hands. I will definitely ask for Lisa’s services again and again. Thank you Lisa for everything.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets all my life, being there for them is all I know now. I made it my passion to be caring of them. I recently left a dog daycare looking for a better way to make dogs comfortable while knowing they aren’t under any other rules than the ones in their very own home. I also am loving the idea of them all getting their own special treatment. I am willing to do early mornings or late nights I’m free all around. I just want every dog or cat to be satisfied. I usually wake up and walk outside to make sure I’m getting proper sunlight and one thing about a pet is they are always down for outside time. I’ll make sure your dog eats and gets hydration in the morning and take them outside to use the bathroom relax or play in the next 30 to 45 minutes for about a hour or two, if it is too hot outside I won’t have them out too long and I will make sure they cool off before giving them water. Your dog will always be safe and okay in my hands I’m very attentive

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 7+ years and have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little extra patience and help getting around. I’ve also worked with dogs who are leash-reactive, have high prey drives, or simply need a little more structure and individual attention. I’m comfortable with pets who need some extra care, too. I’ve given ear medications and cleaned ears for infections and ear mites, as well as administered eye drops and ointment for a cat with a chronic eye condition. I’ve also cared for senior pets who needed help with stairs, had trouble eating, or needed extra attention with their daily routines. I really enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and making them feel comfortable and happy while their people are away. Whether that means a long walk, playing with a favorite toy, sticking closely to their usual routine, or just keeping them company on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! I’m currently taking a gap year while studying for the MCAT, so I have a very flexible schedule and spend much of my day at home studying. When I’m house sitting, I’ll most likely be there with your pets for the majority of the day, which means they’ll have plenty of company, attention, and supervision while you’re away. I’m generally available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and playtime, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I do have a weekly figure skating commitment on Tuesdays from about 11:30 AM–2 PM, but I can plan around it and, when scheduled in advance, I’m able to rearrange my plans if your pet needs me home. I’m very attentive to the little things that keep pets safe. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with very different temperaments and needs, including puppies, leash-reactive dogs, high-prey-drive dogs, and pets who need extra supervision or a specific routine. When I’m staying in a client’s home, I make it a point to learn the pet’s normal routine, triggers, habits, and boundaries before they leave. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and introductions to unfamiliar people or animals, and I don’t assume that every pet can be handled the same way. If a dog needs space from other dogs, a cat prefers to hide for a while, or a pet has a particular way of doing things, I respect that. I also know how important communication is when someone else has your pets. I’m happy to send regular pictures and updates, and I’ll reach out if something seems unusual rather than ignoring it or assuming it’s fine. My goal is for your pets to stay safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.

About: I’m a compassionate and experienced pet caregiver with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds—from tiny kittens and puppies to large, high-energy dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in providing patient, attentive, and personalized care. I have experience with puppy delivery and newborn care, which has given me a strong foundation in gentle handling, close monitoring, and supporting pets during important early stages of life. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, litter care, medication, or simply providing calm companionship, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and love. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a stress-free, nurturing environment so both pets and owners can feel completely at ease while they’re in my care 🤍🐶🐱 Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day to prioritize feedings, walks, playtime, and quality time so each pet receives consistent, attentive care in a calm and loving environment. I care for pets by following their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide attentive care including feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, medication if needed, and lots of love. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and treating every pet like family.

“JeTaun is super sweet and our kitties immediately took to her. We have cats with some tummy issues, so they don't always go in their litterbox, and this didn't bother her at all. She stayed at our house for a week while we were out of the country, and you couldn't even tell anyone had been there. We will definitely be booking her again!”

Very happy with Patrycja. She dog sat last weekend and I felt she gave my Ivy a great amount of attention and exercise. She even washed the sheets before she left, which was an unexpected bonus! Would definitely use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Worth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Worth is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $61 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.

As of November 2026, there are 7,665 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Worth. 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 Worth 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 Worth 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 Worth 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 Worth. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
