“We’ve used Elizabeth for multiple dog walk drop ins and for staying at our house for an extended weekend to watch our 10 year old lab. We highly recommend Elizabeth. She is super nice, professional and personable, and takes amazing care of our pup. You can tell from the pictures that Carter loves Elizabeth and is at ease with her. We feel very comfortable having Elizabeth at our house and feel good that Carter feels comfortable as well and has a fun time! Elizabeth is also very communicative and keeps us up to date with Carter!”
“Wednesday watched our dog Grace in our home for 2 weeks. They were very good at sending us updates and did a great job. We will definitely hire them again. Thanks Wednesday!”
“My dog and cat LOVED Chanelle!! She gave them so much love and took amazing care of them. She gave me a lot of updates which put my mind at ease while I was away. Would definitely use her again!!”
“Monica was a fantastic sitter! She stayed with our pups for the weekend and kept us updated daily with lots of pictures so we knew our fur babies were happy and given lots of love while we were away. We will definitely chose Monica to stay with our pets again.”
“Carol’s son stayed at our house and took great care of our dog, left the house clean, and provided frequent updates. We would work with them again and would recommend Carol and/or her family to others!”
“Awesome caregiver to my two fur babies! So happy to have secured Jaiden to spend three days with Sophie and Penny. Her attention to their needs, time spent with them, and respect for my home are welcomed attributes from her. Enjoy reaching out to her and having her take care of your four-legged children.”
“Nicole was wonderful to our pups! This was the first time we’ve left them overnight since adopting them so we were a little nervous at first. But she completely calmed our nerves!! I cannot thank her enough for treats them like they are hers. We will for sure be using her again! Thank you, Nicole!!”
“Shannon took amazing care of our dog and was such a pleasure to work with. She kept us updated, was very reliable, and it was clear our dog was in great hands the whole time we were away. When our flight home got canceled she was incredibly kind and flexible, even offered to stay an extra night and came by again in the evening to let our dog out while we were scrambling to figure out new travel plans. That really meant a lot to us during a stressful moment. We came home to a very happy pup and everything in great shape. I would absolutely trust her to watch Lilly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable sitter.”
“Matthew was great!! We have a 5 month old vizsla puppy and he came and stayed at our house. He took Mater on long walks, always sent updates, photos, and videos. Mater was so happy when we got home, but also seemed like he missed his new friend! Matthew also cleaned the sheets, made the bed and washed all the towels. He kept the house very clean! Thank you so much!”
“Courtney watched my two dogs and cat while we were out of town. She had great communication and updated me multiple times throughout my trip. Highly recommend booking with Courtney for any of your pet sitting needs!”
About: i have plenty of experience with animals i helped train 2 of my golden retrievers and i trained all of the cats to go into the litter box. i’ve been around animals my entire life!! i currently have 3 dogs and three cats and chickens. so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. from playful and energetic pets to more shy or relaxed ones, I’m comfortable adjusting to what each animal needs. i understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your pets with someone, and I always treat every animal like my own. i pay close attention to their routines and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
“Marcus is wonderful! We have used him many times and he is always a great communicator. He leaves the house tidy and we can tell that the pups are well loved/taken care of when we’re gone!”
About: I grew up with a pair of golden retrievers and currently have two Puli and one Old English Sheepdog pup (he is big boy). I am patient, loving and affectionate towards all dogs. I will make your dog feel cared for while giving them the highest standard of care and attention. I work from home mostly and have the flexibility to spend time with dogs. Just like your pup, It's good for me to take breaks and get outside too. We will have a fence in the next few months and will have a beautiful backyard for dogs to run. We have a large home with lots of windows and light and would love to host other furry guests.
About: Let me provide your dog with a home away from home :) — I treat every pup like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, or just some snuggles, I try to match their personality and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds — from high to low energy. I’m big on routines, communication, and making sure pet parents never feel out of the loop. You’ll always get updates and pictures so you can see how your pup’s doing. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is happy, cared for, and in good hands. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the day. I can do multiple walks a day, stick to your preferred schedule, and give your dog lots of attention and playtime. I live in a very walk-friendly neighborhood with a large dog park, which is perfect for getting in some fresh air and exercise! I only board potty-trained dogs to keep things clean and comfortable for everyone. I do have a medium-sized crate available if you prefer your dog to have their own space at night instead of free roaming. My main priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. I make sure they get the care, love, and attention they need in a calm and comfortable environment.
About: I have been caring for my family dog since we got him four years ago and my other dog for 8 years. Over the past two years, I have also house-sat for multiple people, taking care of their pets for several days at a time. In addition, I have cared for many animals in my own home. I currently do not have a job so I am completely free morning tonight anytime I also do not have any other side hustles so anytime works! I would care for someone’s animal in their home as if they were my own. I would make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive any medications or special care they need. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I would spend quality time with them by playing, cuddling, and keeping them company so they feel safe and loved while their owner is away. I understand that pets are family members, so I would work hard to maintain their routine, provide comfort, and give them the same patience, affection, and attention they are used to every day.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Youngsville
Lindsay is an exceptional house and petsitter in every way! On short notice she was able to spend the weekend caring for our pups in our home. The dogs loved her and my wife and I were able to travel with no concerns that our pups (and home) were cared for so well. We couldn’t even tell she had been in the house!!
Emma did a great job taking care of both of our pups while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures, was on time and attentive, and followed our dogs medication schedule. We knew they were in capable hands while with Emma. Thank you for watching them!

FAQs for House Sitting - Youngsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Youngsville on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,695 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Youngsville. 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 Youngsville 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 Youngsville 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 Youngsville 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
