“At our first meeting, I could tell Carolyn would be a capable and dependable caregiver for Samson and Maisie. Maisie kept offering Carolyn her paw and I knew it would be okay, leaving my fur babies for the first time. I appreciated the pictures, communication and Carolyn’s flexibility with my schedule issues. Hope to be able to utilize Carolyn’s services again in the near future!”
“Erin is wonderful! She house and dog sat for two weeks. Trustworthy and loving to our two dogs and send photos of them every day. Outstanding communicator. Will use again and again!”
“Susan went above and beyond in every way to care for our little guy. She was incredibly responsible, detail-oriented and loving to our little guy. We are very grateful!”
About: I've taken care of many different types of breeds of dogs, specializing in bully breeds, for over 30 years. I recently retired from registered nursing and would love to continue to take care of non humans! I love dogs and am very active. I believe that dogs need love and most importantly exercise! I have trained puppies and cared for senior dogs. Your doggy/doggies will feel right at home and you can be sure they will become a part of our family! I am recently retired and I have all the time in the world to care for dogs! I am very physically active and I will diligently exercise all my doggy friends! I am very dependable and have a wide open schedule with ample flexibility. I have a fenced yard and your doggy will have a female mixed lab to play with! Be assured that your doggy will get plenty of exercise and love while in my care.
About: I've had 3 golden retrievers while I was growing up and helped taking care of them everyday. Our one golden had puppies and I helped out a lot with them. Now, me and my husband love to watch and care for other dogs in our free time! I work a 9-5 during the week but I am not usually very busy on weekends and would love to meet and take care of some new pups! My husband can usually take breaks from his work during the day to do a drop in or walk if needed! I love to go on walks with dogs and make sure they are well exercised everyday. I will make sure to keep your pet on the correct feeding/potty schedule.
“Luca was such an amazing dog sitter/house sitter! Our 2 bigger dogs loved having him around. They were very happy and content when we got back. Luca sent multiple updates and the house was amazing when we returned! Highly recommend Luca!”
“Janette has seriously been the best for us. She is super flexible, which we really appreciate, and our dogs LOVE her. You can just tell they’re comfortable with her and that means everything to us. She’s also really good with communication, we always know what’s going on and never have to worry about how there doing! At this point she’s the first person we call anytime we need someone for our two dogs. We wouldn’t leave them with just anybody, but we fully trust her.”
“Haley did such an amazing job watching my baby while I was gone. She sent multiple pictures and updates everyday. I was very nervous to leave Baloo but she put me at ease quickly. She also tidied up the house before she left. I will absolutely be booking Haley again!”
About: I have taken care of friends and family members dogs while they are out of town or just not available. I love learning the dog’s personality and giving them the care that works best for them. I work 11am-7pm M-F, so I will be able to check in on pets in the morning, during my lunch break, and after work as well. I currently have one anxious chihuahua, which makes me especially aware of the importance of making the animal comfortable and not pushing boundaries. I grew up with a variety of dogs with all different energy levels, temperaments, and size, so I am comfortable adapting to what is best for the animal!
“We had Andie house sit for us while we were out of town for a few days and I would highly recommend booking with her! She was very nice and easy to work with and our animals were well taken care of. The house was left in perfect shape and with happy animals!”
“Amina was amazing. My dog has special needs so I hired Amina for a couple of walks before having her house sit just so her and Izzy could get used to each other. Amina always arrived early and was excellent with any communication. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my pets in her care. With a blind dog, boarding her somewhere doesn’t work well, it’s so nice to have someone willing to stay in my home to care for my pets while I am away.”
About: Grew up with beagles and now have pit bulls. There is very little I haven’t seen or helped out with in my life. Excited to meet your dogs and do my best! Working full time teaching right now but can possibly get out for an hour and half for lunches. Anytime availability from 4pm to 10 pm on weekdays. Treat every animal I encounter like my own. Let them get comfortable with me first and then continue to progress our companionship from that point. Love being outside so dogs will get a lot of safe outside time
“Katy was exceptional with our anxious boys. It's such a relief to know we have a fantastic person to watch our dogs and house! The pics showed they were happy and having a blast. It means the world to us to know they are in such great hands with Katy. Thank you so very much!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Zarah
Susan is the BEST! She seemed to deeply care about my pups and making sure they were having the time of their lives while I was away on vacation…. I think my pups were bummed when I came home because they were having such a good time! I can’t say enough positive things about Susan’s thoughtfulness and compassion for animals! The daily pictures and videos were hilarious and the pups seemed to be right at home. Couldn’t ask for anything more!!
Riley was amazing from start to finish….before our travel, during our travel & after. Her communication was great & both of our dogs really loved her. Would highly recommend her & we will 100% use her again. Thank you Riley for taken such great care of our 2 little guys!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Zarah is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $67 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 1,607 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Zarah. 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 Zarah 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 Zarah 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 Zarah 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.
