“Erin checks on my dogs during the week while I’m at work and has spent the weekend at my house while I was out of town. I trust her completely with my dogs and my home. She’s easy to communicate and work with.”
“Susan was so great with our dogs and they loved her too. Our shy girl is usually shy with new people but she went right up to her without hardly any hesitation at all. Susan followed all of the routine instructions I left for her and gave me updates on my doggos every day. Would love to have her stay for us again in the future. Thanks so much.”
“Samantha was the ideal pet sitter for our 2 dogs! Great communication from start and finish and kept us in the loop about the dogs while we were gone. Would highly recommend for anyone needing reliable pet support”
“Lindsey was amazing! She took such great care of our dogs, and our home. She followed all of our instructions and sent great pictures of the pups. We will definitely use her again!”
“Shantanice was amazing! She took excellent care of our home and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dogs clearly loved her and were so happy and well cared for when we returned. We would absolutely hire her again without hesitation!”
“Reese did an amazing job: first walking me through how to introduce her to my anxious big dog at our meet-n-greet and on the first day of the sit. She regularly sent a ton of pictures of my three pets throughout the weeklong stay, which increased my enjoyment of my time away. And even though she caught a really bad cold while sitting, she remained extremely communicative and committed to staying with my pets until the day I was due home, which I greatly appreciated. And I also appreciated her efforts to make sure my home was sanitized and cleaned before I returned.”
“Shanna was wonderful! Kelce was in such good hands. I received daily text messages and pictures to keep us updated. I loved her energy and care with our dog while we were out of town! Highly recommend!”
“Needed someone to sit for my pups who were new to my household. Susan stepped right up and did a fantastic job of keeping them active and loved while I was away for work for a few days. Above and beyond!”
“This is the first time I’ve needed someone to stay with my two goofball dogs for an extended time. In short, Kelly did a great job and I needn’t have worried in the slightest! Clearly a lover of dogs, her regular text updates and photos further reassured me that all was well at home. So yes, I highly recommend Kelly!”
“Emily was extremely patient with our anxious and cautious dog. She kept me updated on how he was doing throughout our time away and made sure we knew he was in good hands. Would highly reccomend!”
About: I’m Rose, a registered veterinary technician who recently graduated from an AVMA-accredited program at Maple Woods College. With extensive hands-on experience in animal care and medical knowledge, I am passionate about providing compassionate, reliable, and expert care for your pets. Whether it’s routine care or special medical needs, I’m here to ensure your furry friends are happy and healthy while you’re away. It’s been all I’ve been passionate about since I was a very young girl, I love maintaining the wellbeing of animals because we need them just as much as they need us. Whilst being very respectful of property, I will go about following all of the listed instructions and/or guidelines when in the home and while caring for said pet.
“Annika was awesome. She played with rocky and molly the second she got to my house. Informed me everything that was going on throughout her stay. Even my dogs seemed disappointed when I showed up instead of Annicka lol. She did everything perfect. Definitely would recommend her to anyone”
“Robin was amazing!! She gave us frequent updates on our animals, including pictures and videos! We could tell our dogs & cats were enjoying the attention and were well cared for!”
“Ty was communicative and sent tons of pictures to put us at ease that our dogs were having a good time while we were away! We will definitely book with him again if available on future trips!”
About: I have had dogs in our home forever and after we lost our beloved Wheaten Terrier (14yo), we have added a 5 year old rescue Doodle to our family. She’s so sweet and loves little dogs. My kids are grown and I am learning how to be an empty nester. I work from my home office and your pet will be my co-worker when they stay with me. I do travel for work, so send requested dates! We go for long walks, car rides, and get all the head pats! I will love keeping your pet while you are away and we will have lots of fun time together! I have a flexible schedule and work from home! I love to walk and have a four legged companion on the trails with me! My doodle shares her bed and blankets! I do travel for work so we can compare schedules! I have a big yard and plenty of room inside as well! Pets are allowed on furniture and beds in our home! Our house is on the public park / trail system and we love to take daily walks. I can crate your dog to their comfort level and they will never be alone for more than 3-4 hours if they are boarding with me. I like to take dogs everywhere I go, so bring me all your social pups!
About: Hi! I’m Halle, and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for pets. I have 5 years of experience caring for pets, and there’s honestly nothing I love more than meeting new pets and getting to know their personality! I had a sweet Puggle who lived to be 18 years old. She taught me just how special the bond between a person and their pet can be, and now I’d love the opportunity to give that same love, attention, and care to your pets! I’m easygoing, dependable, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, extra cuddles, or just a little company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. Can’t wait! 🐶💕 I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for your pets! I have availability in the early mornings before work, during my one-hour lunch break (which can be scheduled at different times throughout the day), and in the evenings after work. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and find a time that works best for both of us. When I care for your pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your space with the same respect I would want for my own home. I understand that inviting someone into your home is a big deal, so I’m always respectful, responsible, and mindful. I’ll do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and at ease in their own environment. I’m also very clean and tidy—I’ll clean up after your pet, keep their spaces neat, and leave your home just as I found it

Susan sat for us in our home while we took a 12 day river cruise in Europe. We have two dogs (one an eight month old puppy) and three cats. She did a great job accommodating all the pets need and the normal house chores like taking out the garbage and watering plants. She texted us when our garage door opener started making a beeping noise and we were able to work with her and a neighbor to get that resolved. She left the house clean when she was done. I definitely recommend her services.
We cannot say enough good things about Susan. Susan is highly communicative and responsive, from the initial Meet and Greet, through our trip, and upon our return. She was also respectful of our house and our pets. Susan provided daily updates and pictures of our dogs. When we got back from our trip, you could tell our dogs were well taken care of and in good spirits. We look forward to booking future trips knowing our dogs are in great hands. We highly recommend booking with Susan!
Emilie is absolutely outstanding! We have two belgian malinois who require a special touch, lots of interaction, walks, and someone to manage their chaos. Emilie was top notch across the board. We will be booking with Emilie for everything going forward! House sitting, overnight stays, walks, pop ins, all the things. Thanks, Emilie!!
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!
Kristina is simply the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. A++++! Attentive, responsive, and oh-so-loving, she cared for our chickens, dogs, and garden with such genuine heart. When the unexpected happened and we lost one of our chickens while we were away, Kristina handled it with grace, compassion, and calm — exactly what you hope for in someone you trust with your animals. She kept us informed every step of the way, sparing us no detail we needed while shielding us from unnecessary worry. She also went above and beyond to keep the rest of the flock safe. We can't thank her enough! Beyond navigating the hard moments, Kristina did more than we ever could have asked — keeping the garden watered, the house tidy, and our whole crew happy and loved. We feel completely at ease leaving home knowing Kristina is there and just so, so grateful to have her.
We had the pleasure of having Amanda take care of our two high-energy dogs while we were out of town, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! She kept us updated daily with pictures and notes, which really put our minds at ease. She was so great at handling our dogs' energy and gave them the attention and care they needed. Unfortunately, while we were away, my husband had a medical emergency and had to be admitted to the hospital, which meant we needed to extend our stay unexpectedly. Amanda was incredibly understanding and flexible, covering the extra time without hesitation. Her willingness to adapt to our changing situation was so appreciated during such a stressful time. We will absolutely be utilizing Amanda again in the future. She goes above and beyond what’s expected and truly cares about the pets she’s looking after. Highly recommend!
Danielle is everything you could hope for and more. It’s hard to summarize someone who was such a perfect sitter. We traveled overseas for 11 nights and her overall character allowed us to be completely present as we knew without a doubt our dogs and home were being well cared for. Her communication and daily photos were fabulously welcomed. She asked great questions to clarify routines and responsibilities. Our dogs melted for her with love. She even took out the trash and vacuumed the house 🥹 (2 Great Pyrenees = fur and leaves). We returned from our European vacation to a spotless house and happy pups. 5 stars, 10/10, 110% … whatever you want to call it, Danielle is the one 🙏 Thank you Danielle

FAQs for House Sitting - Zarah
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Zarah on Rover is $50 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 1,669 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 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 Zarah. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
