We booked a dog/house sitting service with Charlene and we have no complaints! She provided detailed updates daily and was able to handle our two dogs and my brother’s puppy with no problems. We are very happy with her work and we were able to enjoy our holiday worry-free.

Palma was a pleasure to work with. She responds quickly to inquiries and is very prompt. She has a kind and sunny disposition and clearly loves animals. I felt so confident leaving our dog and home in her care. She sent us pics and updates which helped with our missing our pet. Everything in our home, and with our dog, was cared for with attention and detail. I would definitely use her again, and again!

We have only booked Lauren multiple time's. We love her and most importantly Nala loves her. She is very responsible, respectful, loving, caring, and I leave her a list of the rules and she appreciates it. When we get home our house looks the same as how we left it. She is very good about communicating and sending pictures. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants the best for their baby.

We’ve used Lauren several times and on this trip away we hit a major delay in our return. Lauren was happy to return to make sure our pup was cared for! So thankful for Lauren and feel so reassured leaving our dog in her care in the future.

Rook was great. Came over multiple times prior to housesitting so that we could make sure all the animals needs were met and to go over intricacies for our home. They were an attentive listener and proactive communicator. Pricing seemed fair and our home was the same as we left it when we returned. Cant ask for much more than that. I will definitely rehire them and you should consider hiring them if youre in need of a pet sitter.

If I could give 10 stars I would! Elizabeth is absolutely amazing with pets and I highly recommend having her care for your pets. She was so engaging with all of my animals and sent pictures and updates, she’s incredibly kind and genuinely cares for your animals. She even came another time for me when I asked last minute and she was more than helpful to us. I am very grateful I found her and her services and will be using her again. Thank you so much Elizabeth!!!! ~Alyssa, Ben, Lili, Max and Lana <3

About: I've cared for the fuzzy family members of friends, family friends, and work friends for years. My own pets have been mostly senior rescues from owners who could no longer care for them. I have experience with medication, drop-ins, house-sitting, and more. I am currently an artist with open commissions, so my schedule is flexible and made for your pets. I usually crochet or draw when I care for lower-energy animals, and love playing with those with more energy. I am a no-shoes-in-house kind of person, and can bring separate house shoes if preferred. I am no stranger to cleaning up pet accidents. I keep to the living areas of the home, unless the pets are kept elsewhere, and provide a quiet presence for more introverted or timid animals. I ensure to adhere to the idea of "leave no trace", as though your home is the natural habitat for your pets.

About: Hello! My name is Sab, and I am a student, studying behavioral psychology. I've been a sitter for Rover for over 9 years and just moved to CA from NC with my senior dog and puppy. I am experienced in administering medication to dogs, please just let me know what you need. I’m vigilant when it comes to training and management. I understand consistency is everything for our dogs, especially with our adolescent dogs and dogs that struggle with anxiety, so please if your dog has a strict schedule, specific rituals, or training/rules you're trying to implement with your dogs - sitting when greeting strangers, crate training, one long walk before bed - let me know!! I will definitely work with you on it. I just moved to the area and don’t really have a routine right now! Let me know how I can help, I am flexible and will work with you. Having just moved in, we’re not having visitors over for the moment while we get everything unpacked. But I will be respectful of your home if you require services there, and as long as you let me know what you need for your dog, I’ll do my best to meet your expectations.

Kaleigh was absolutely amazing with watching my dog and three cats! She provided great updates every day, which helped me with our week away from them all. All of them were well fed and watered and the boxes were cleaned in a timely manner. The house was exactly as we left it and it was a great relief to have someone so reliable watch them while we were away.

About: Hello! I’ve been caring for animals for many years and have experience with both cats and dogs. I currently have two cats, and I also had a wonderful dog named Morgan, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to adapt to whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable. If you’d like me to meet your pet before the booking, I’m more than happy to do so. If your pet prefers a calm environment, extra playtime, a specific routine, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll gladly follow your instructions. I understand how important it is to maintain their normal routine while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, including weekends. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities! During every visit, I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning the litter box (for cats) or picking up after walks (for dogs), playtime, administering medications (if needed and with clear instructions), and maintaining any special routines. I’ll always respect your home, keep doors and windows secure, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can get to know me and we can go over their routine in detail. I’ll send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Shannon watched our two huskies and stayed in our home while we were away for a weekend. She took excellent care of our home, collected our mail, and took the best care of our Doggos. She sent several picture updates of our dogs which helped immensely. We will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend her to others!

About: My veterinary assistant experience with small and large animals sets me apart as I keep a close eye on your animal’s health and well-being. I am not easily spooked, but I want your pet to receive the best care I can give. I am not a trainer, but I am comfortable dealing with some pets with behavioral issues. I want to create the safest and most comfortable environment for your pet, your sanity and myself! I currently work four days a week and have a three day weekend. I am looking to pet sit for people who are going on a short trip or need routine weekend care. I can be flexible with week nights, but it will need to be established well in advance. I am looking to house sit in the owners residence. My cats would not be happy to have any new comers to our family. I am very punctual with breakfast and dinner time, and I am typically one to spend time wherever the pet would like to whether that be indoors or outdoors!

FAQs for House Sitting - Yantic

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Yantic on Rover is $126 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 898 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yantic. 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 Yantic 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 Yantic 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 Yantic 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 Yantic. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
