“Erin was absolutely amazing! She came and met our dogs before our trip and took notes. We got multiple updates and photos every day we were gone which was very reassuring. She was very professional and took great care of our dogs! Highly recommend!”
“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”
“Gabby is seriously a great person! Her character gave me strong peace of mind and total trust that she will take care of Loki. And she did!! She exceed expectations and went above and beyond with Loki. She is responsible, respectful, caring, loving, extremely detail oriented, communicative, etc… we are so honored that you were able to help us Gabby! Thank you 😊”
“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.”
“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!”
“Andrew did very well in taking care of companion, Marcy. He sent photos and responded immediately when we communicated with him. We were away for 8 days and so thankful that Andrew was here. Before leaving, our car would not start,, and Andrew kindly offered a jumpstart, which we agreed to, and this enabled us to be on our way as planned. Thank you, Andrew!”
“Nate was amazing! He was very kind & courteous. He was so wonderful with our old pup. He sent us updates with pics and how she was doing each day. He kept our house amazingly clean and even washed our sheets & ran the dishwasher for us. Our dog was walked, was healthy, happy & in great spirits when we arrived. We would definitely recommend him & hope to book him again in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kelly was an awesome sitter for Eddie! She was easy to communicate with. She helped keep him on the medications and supplements he needed. Eddie was happy and well cared for! She is a great pet sitter. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for pet care!”
“Stephanie was fantastic watching our French Bulldog! We got a number of updates and she went above and beyond. We very much appreciated her and will be using her again!”
“Kristina stayed at our house while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon. She did a great job and kept our minds at ease. We had no worries that our doodles would be safe while we were gone. I'd highly recommend Kristina.”
“Matti was great with both our dogs who are complete opposites. We have a high energy young 65 lb lab mix and a timid 13 yr old 8 lb chihuahua. They both got the specific attention they need and we got cute updates. We'll be rebooking with her!”
“I cannot recommend Tyrese enough. From the moment we booked Tyrese was professional and completely reassuring. Tyrese took such good care of our fur babies and provided us with daily photos. The boys were relaxed and clearly well loved when we returned home. It was obvious that Tyrese treated them as if they were his. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring, you won’t find anyone better than Tyrese. We will absolutely book with him again.”
“Ashley was fantastic! She took such great care of our dogs - they loved her and followed her around everywhere! Ashley sent us photos each day to keep us updated on how they were doing, played with them, took them on walks and made sure they were loved. On top of that, she left the house spotless. We couldn’t recommend Ashley more.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Zarah
We used Emilie for the first time to stay in our home and care for our dogs, and we had a great experience. She sent lots of pictures throughout her stay, which gave us peace of mind that our dogs were happy and well cared for. She also kept us updated on when she arrived and left each day, and the communication was excellent. We would definitely use Emilie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
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.
Susan house sat our Labradors, Maddie and Piper for the first time. We are beyond pleased with the exceptional quality of attention and care she provided. Susan was always on-time, professional, friendly, and showed she cared about our dogs. She didn’t hesitate to ask questions or provide updates. Both dogs took to her immediately and she treated them like her own. The house was absolutely spotless when we returned. We will definitely be asking her to house sit again in the future!!
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
Cassidy was a wonderful sitter. She is a kind person and after meeting her I felt confident letting her watch my dogs. My dogs loved her and she gave them the attention they needed. She gave me updates about the dogs, which eased my mind away from home. I will definitely continue to hire her to watch my dogs for future vacations!
Erica did a great job house/ dog sitting while I was away on a 5 day trip. Erica was responsive with all requests and questions. Photos of my dogs and progress reports were sent regularly. Upon my return, I found my house to be clean and tidy just as it was left. I would not hesitate to recommend Erica’s services to friends or family and will hire again.

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 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 1,741 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.

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.
