“Elizabeth has stayed the weekend at our house 3 or 4 times to watch our pup Carter and we highly recommend her to anyone! She is very kind, professional, and loving to our dog. It gives us peace of mind knowing Carter is safe and comfortable at our house with Elizabeth. She regularly keeps us updated on how Carter is doing and sends pics. We are grateful that she takes such good care of Carter. Carter is now 11 and requires supplements, special food, and specific exercise instructions and Elizabeth has been terrific at helping us with all of this. We will continue to have her watch Carter when she is available!”
“Nicole has watch our senior dogs twice, and I’m looking forward to the next time. She also noticed the heat was stressing out some of my plants and she watered them without me asking. Which was much appreciated!”
About: I grew up with a (literal) barnyard of animals, ranging from horses to cats and dogs. I have been responsible for these animals ever since I can remember from their baby to senior years. Since moving away from my family I have always surrounded myself with cats and dogs by fostering kittens for SPCA, or by owning my own pups! I am a stay at home pet sitter with a fenced in backyard and plenty of neighborhood to go for long walks. I currently work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and I can be here all day long to keep the furry ones company. I normally go on walks or runs throughout the day so they can join me! I can care for your pet however needed as I work from home. We can have often play time, a constant watchful eye, or just lounge around together all day for those more lazy fur babies. I have a fenced in backyard and a neighborhood full of walking paths. I allow pets on furniture, as long as they respect it and are allowed by the owner. The first floor of my house has no steps for the elderly pups, and if they need a real brain teaser, then my work from home job should help! I do allow pets from multiple families for doggy day care, so please let me know if your fur baby does not get along with others.
“This was my first time having Dawn watch my energetic corgi, Cornbread. Dawn did absolutely amazing with her! Cornbread just loves to play and Dawn gave her plenty of attention while I was away and sent plenty of pictures and videos. She kept me updated each day on Cornbread’s health, that she was fine with eating/staying hydrated, and behaving well. She also brought her dog over so Cornbread would have a friend to play with. Lastly she went above and beyond and left a custom sticker of Cornbread from her visit! Would absolutely love to book again with Dawn!”
About: I have professional experience working at a veterinary kennel and am trained in proper medication and subcutaneous fluid administration. I also know how to work with anxious, elderly, and disabled pets. I love getting to know each pet’s personal needs and quirks in order to give them the best care possible! I am a recent college graduate and am doing pet sitting full time! This means I will be able to schedule my days around your pet‘s needs. My care includes feeding, walking, continuation of training, and giving pets all the love they deserve! I will be at your house as much as I can to give your pet the best experience. I am willing to help pets that need assistance getting around the house or that have other special needs. Overall, I want to create as safe, comforting, and loving of a space as possible for your pets while you’re away.
“We’ve never had any sitter as great as Melissa! She’s very good with our dogs. She’s very knowledgeable with what she’s doing and followed all care instructions for our pups. She kept our house clean and our dogs happy. She updated us with lots of pictures and she let us know if she needs to go somewhere and for how long. Which I really appreciate. She’s polite and very sweet! I would definitely book her services again and will totally recommend her.”
“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.”
“Emma came in last minute and was willing to stay with our boy. She is kind and attentive and did a great job keeping us in the loop how Things were going. We will use her again. She is trustworthy and responsive and great with our dog.”
“We booked Ben just 2 days before our (unexpected) trip and he was great! Despite the short notice, he still made the time to visit our home the next day to meet the dogs. The dogs were so comfortable around him, we knew it was a great fit right away. 5 ⭐️!!”

“We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Morty and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and well taken care of. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
“This was our first time using Rover as well as an in home dog sitter. Our dogs have a hard time staying at boarding facilities so we wanted to find a more comfortable solution for them. I can’t thank Taylor enough for taking care of our girls and allowing them to keep their usual routine while we were away. I appreciated the check ins and photo updates so much! Taylor is kind, professional, & compassionate. All things any pet owner would hope for in their sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Youngsville
This was our first time using Monica and she took on our mini zoo full steam ahead. Her attentiveness saved the life of one of our cats who ended up needing emergency care. Very thankful to her for being so aware and letting us know that something was wrong rather than just assuming it was normal.
Sarah was awesome, so easy to communicate with and professional. She sent pictures of our girls and kept us updated regularly. She kept the girls happy with lots of love and couch time. Let them outside often even took a walk w/a special treat involved. She kept everything clean and orderly. We will definitely be reaching out for our future needs
Kylie is wonderful! My whole gang absolutely adored her. 😊 It was such a relief knowing they were happy and well cared for while I was away. I came home to a house that was in great shape and, most importantly, a very content crew. Kylie made being away so much easier, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay with them again. I’m so glad we found her!
Lindsay was an absolute delight! It seems like my dogs LOVED her. I received pictures and even videos everyday. She kept me well informed with everything and she even took everything in stride being I had a battery go dead in smoke detector while I was gone and started going off. Also, my area apparently lost power while I was gone as well. I will definitely bring using her again. I even think my dogs miss her.
Kamryn took such amazing care of our two girls while we were gone. We have two German shepherds and one is still a puppy who needs a lot of attention and can get into mischief, but there were no issues. She sent pictures, kept us updated, and the girls were happy and healthy! Our girls are our world, and it was a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were gone. Thank you again Kam!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Youngsville is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $53 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 October 2026, there are 2,708 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
