About: I took care of my sweet black lab Winnie from puppy to senior. I know what it takes to love and care for a fur baby. I crate trained her, she lived in houses, and apartment with me through my 20’s and lived into loving my daughter. Who now wants to be a vet when she grows up. I am a teacher but also have my retired mom with me. We have not dedicated ourselves to a pet since the passing of my senior Labrador. I can commit to walking, playing, and someone being around 24/7 for your fur babies if you choose to board. I can crate your dog and having a large yard and country road for walking. I’m willing to go to dog parks. Whatever your pets needs are I can help with.
“Cierra is Awesome!! It was my first time leaving Rebel with someone other than Family, so it was hard. But when I received several pictures of Rebel, I saw she was being taken care of and enjoying Cierra’s company I was relieved. she was doing good with her and I will definitely be using Cierra in the future..”
“Karen was awesome! She took such incredible care of our Dog, and the house looked better than we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone so reliable. We would certainly ask her to come back.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Odalis. We left our three dogs in her care from May 28 through June 4, including a puppy who had never been away from us before. Naturally, I was nervous, but Odalis immediately put my mind at ease. Our puppy looked like he was having the absolute time of his life! It was clear from the updates, photos, and his demeanor when we returned that he was loved, cared for, and completely comfortable. She treated all three of our dogs as if they were her own. As first-time Rover users, I’m sure my instructions weren’t the most organized or efficient, but Odalis handled everything with patience, flexibility, and professionalism. She adapted effortlessly and made the entire process stress-free for our family. Coming home to happy, healthy, relaxed dogs was such a gift. Knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. Odalis exceeded every expectation we had, and I would trust her with our dogs again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with animals, I cannot recommend Odalis highly enough. We are so grateful for the incredible care she provided to our three dogs.”
“WONDERFUL dog sitter!! Victoria watched our two small dogs and our home and did a great job. She sent so many pictures and updates and took our dogs on fun adventures and great walks! They love her! We will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her.”
“Cali was amazing! Our pets love her. We will 100% be using her as our sitter whenever we go out of town. She communicated through the booking, sent pictures of our babes while we were aware and treated our home with respect. I highly recommend booking with Cali!”
About: Hi! I’m Gloria! I graduated from Penn foster last year to become a Veterinary Technician and I’m taking my VTNE to become a licensed veterinary technician in October and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in both hospital and clinical settings. I specialize in providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care for pets of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra patience or medical awareness. My background includes assisting with procedures, monitoring recovery, supporting medication routines, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. Because of my experience, I’m especially confident caring for: • Senior pets • Pets with anxiety or special needs • Pets requiring medications or close observation • Multi-pet households I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent, providing lots of attention and comfort, and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease. My goal is simple — to provide reliable, professional care so your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart, yes I can give medications but I don’t know how to give insulin to diabetic patients. ✔ 8 years veterinary experience ✔ Comfortable with medications & special care ✔ Experienced with senior and anxious pets ✔ Strong attention to safety and behavior changes ✔ Reliable communication with daily updates ✔ Calm, patient, and dependable I’m available Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm for dog sitting, dog walking, or house sitting and if have cats I can take care of them as well. I plan to dog or cat sit at the comfort of the owners home but if they need to come to my home for any reason my home is fenced and I do have kennels and extra food and water and I do have two dogs who are super sweet and kind. I also have a cat and he gets along with dogs and cats if you need me to cat sit your cat at my home I can do that as well
About: I've cared for many pets before in any stage of their life. I have pet experience ranging from administering medicine, playing, light grooming & cleaning. I have an online business so my schedule is extremely flexible and I can be available for your pet at a moments notice. I drive and own a vehicle so I can travel distances when needed. I own one cat and we live in a cozy apartment in downtown Bethesda. My cat is very active and loves playing fetch so i always take time out of my day to throw the little mouse back & forth to engage him in playtime.
“My Bandit loves Aiden! He is great with dogs and so dependable. After staying with my dog for 10 days, he left the house in perfect condition. I will use him often and highly recommend him.”
“Nina was very communicative throughout her stay with my dog and cat. She took very good care of both and i appreciate her professionalism throughout the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“It was great to have Gina care for my 3 four legged babies. Looking forward to our next booking. She is very loving and my babies love her, and she is very respectful and responsible.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats of every kind for the past 5 years! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied and trusted me to walk, feed, play, and bathe their furry friends. I currently work 12 hour shifts for 3 days a week in the med center. Since I only work 3 days a week, I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! My home is on an acre and has tons of space for playing! I have 2 dogs and a cat who are awesome with both cats and dogs and love to play as well. In your home though, I’ll ensure any accidents get cleaned up and that your dog gets all the attention and exercise they deserve!
“Jordyn was awesome! My dogs loved her. She was responsive, attentive, cautious and overall made me feel very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care for my time away. I will be rebooking. Thank you Jordyn!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have a big dog of my own, so I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities. I also occasionally dog sit for my neighbors and always treat every pup like my own. 🐾 I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible and available throughout the day. I’m able to help as needed, including random check-ins, daytime care, and sticking closely to your pet’s routine. I make sure pets are always supervised, kept in a clean and secure environment, and given plenty of attention and care. In a client’s home, I respect the space and focus on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and stress-free.
“Melinda was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond caring for our 3 large pups post-spay, giving them gentle, attentive care every single day. Melinda sent daily pictures and detailed report cards so we always knew how our girls were doing, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Melinda even helped improve our puppies’ leash manners with one-on-one attention and patience — such a thoughtful touch we didn’t expect but deeply appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Our first time using Tammy to sit our 3 high maintenance dogs went extremely well. Tammy is a dog person, that's obvious. But also the house we came back to after 8 days was just as we left it. And she watered our plants. We highly recommend Tammy for live in dog sitting.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Youens on Rover is $37.45 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 2,048 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Youens. 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 Youens 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 Youens 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 Youens 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 Youens. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
