Our 130# Newfoundland and cat were well taken care of. Communication was great, even using a different app since we were in Europe. Would not hesitate to use Charlotte again, she cared for our animals like they were hers.

Kristine was very responsible taking care of our dog and home while we were gone for 4 days. In fact, more than we expected. We will definitely want her to take of Boots again when we need a dog sitter.

Kathy took excellent care in our home of our 6-month old puppy, as well as our 3 adult cats, 1 kitten and 1 hamster while we were out of town for 5 nights. She carefully reviewed and followed all care instructions. She took good care of our home also. She was responsive, respectful and courteous at all times. She sent regular updates and photos, and messaged us with questions as appropriate. We would not hesitate to request her services again.

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets, having watched my aunt’s cats regularly and cared for many animals of my own over the years. Although I lost access to my old Rover account, I’ve been providing reliable and loving pet care for quite some time. I understand the importance of attention, safety, and affection, and I’m committed to ensuring every pet feels comfortable and happy while in my care. I have 3 to 4 days off each week, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I’m able to give pets the attention and care they need without feeling rushed. This flexibility means I can accommodate various schedules and be fully present to ensure each pet’s comfort and happiness. I care for cats in my home, providing a calm and cozy environment where they feel safe and loved. For dogs, I offer care at your home and take them out for walks with a wonderful local walking community. There’s also a dog park nearby where dogs can socialize and play. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and comfort they need.

About: I have a love and understanding for all animals! I have trained my own and have learned so much through them. I have a lot of experience with dogs with behavioral issues. I am a college student with a lot of free time. My evenings are free and I have a lot of gaps during the day! I would love to get out on walks with dogs in my gaps. I have my own dog to keep yours company if that is something you would like. If not, he can stay with his other mama when your pup is over! Dogs will get full exercise and enrichment when staying with me. We will be in a fenced in yard running around and go on serval walks throughout the day.

Victoria stayed in our home to take care of our dog Mika. She was very conscientious and respectful of place and took great care of Mika. Victoria spent most of the day with Mika so she wasn’t alone. We returned to a very calm and relaxed pup. Victoria is a good communicator, anytime she had a question or concern she was quick to let me know. We won’t hesitate to use Victoria again.

About: Hi my name is Jose Alfredo and I can be very laid back and socially outgoing with a fun and friendly personality! I love being around friendly pets and I was a previous cat owner for 4 years. I also used to share my place with my close friend and his dog of 3 years who I helped care for many times. I have other family members and friends who have pets as well and I have been around them long enough to love and know me. I have spent a lot of time around other people's dogs most of my life and have great experience with both dogs and cats. Being around other people's pets over time has given me the opportunity to know and understand different dog and cat personalities and each ones individually unique needs and traits. Book me and I will walk your dog, feed it, play with it and make sure it has gone to the bathroom. I will tend to your cats' need as well and make sure it's fed, hydrated and help maintain it's litterbox's cleaniliness and given lots of attention! I am also willing to help with small house chores like taking out the trash, bringing the bin to the front, watering your plants or any other simple house duties for no extra charge! At the moment I will go to you to take care of your pet in your home so you don't have to worry about putting your pet in a new environment it's not used to. I will make sure everything in your home is as tidy as before I even arrived. As long as you can provide me with the proper details and instructions about your pets' needs, where things are and how to get in and out of the house, then I promise you everything will be done as requested. As a way of building trust, we will arrange to do a proper meet and greet at your home or a public place like the park. This is so me and your pet can get familiar with each other, earn trust between owner and sitter, and have comfortability and assurance that your pet and home will be in good hands. Thank you for choosing me to care for your pets! I am currently flexible with availability for most days of the week as I do not have any other full time job at the moment. However, I currently am a student studying full-time and sometimes get involved in campus events, extracurriculars, and other student organizations. So Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm typically more busy with classes. But as long as the requested time works around my schedule and classes then we can make it work and I can be available whenever I am not spending time on campus. I do prefer to be notified at least 3 days in advance for requests but I am also willing to take up to same day bookings as long as I am completely free for that day, but it is not guaranteed. But please do try to reach out and book with me in advance at first if possible. I also prefer to schedule a meet and greet prior to accepting booking requests for new first time clients. But I will be more than happy to work with you so I can make a new furry friend if we are a great fit for each other! I used to play with my roommate's dog every day and feed him or take him outside to potty when the roommate was not around or unable to. I play ball with his dog, tug of war and give him belly rubs. His dog is also very attached to me as I am to him. I also was a cat owner for 4 years who I took care of every day from feeding him to ckesning his litterbox and playing with him. I hope to form this same kind of relationship with your pet!

Drew house sat for my reactive pity mix and I will 100% hire him again. He responded promptly after my initial request, communicated clearly his availability, showed up on time, treated my house as his own, kept me informed throughout his stay with pictures, left my house exactly as I left it. Drew understands dogs needs and the needs of pet parents.

About: Available in evenings and weekends. I am reliable, responsible and always on time. I love all dogs and I appreciate all the quirks that come with their individual personalities. I have loved animals since I was young, and I volunteered for a pet shelter in the summer when I was younger. Although I am currently a cat owner, I love all furry animals and I have to greet every dog I meet on the road. I am looking for part time work and this would be a great opportunity to utilize my free time and my love for canines and kitties. I have three cats that are basically like my children, but I adore dogs and would love the opportunity to interact with them daily or weekly. I have free time on my work from home days as well as weekends to assist other dog/cat owners. I do not have a fenced yard, but I live in a community that has a lot of pathways and green space. Within my apartment, I can keep my cats separate if needed but happy to let the dogs explore and get comfy in my space. I am very courteous of other people's space and preferences.

About: Since age 8, I’ve helped with my grandmother’s pet sitting business, caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals. I have hands-on experience training my own dogs using positive reinforcement techniques and have spent years working with and caring for horses, both personally and through volunteering at a local horse barn. I also have experience caring for small animals and rodents, giving me confidence working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, as animals have always been a huge part of it. Outside of pet sitting, I currently only work at my part-time job from 3 PM to 1 AM on Thursdays and Fridays, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the week. This schedule allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and do my best to keep them on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, get plenty of exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding medications, training routines, or household rules. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and caring environment so both pets and owners feel at ease while they’re away.

Wow, where do I begin? Natalie took such good care of my Bailey and my home. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she was and how great the little “Bailey cheat sheet” she made that summarized all the care instructions I provided at our meet and greet, and the beautiful picture she took of Bailey while I was away. She’s thorough and attentive and sent great pictures and messages to reassure me Bailey was fine. And she was! Thank you, Natalie! You’re wonderful and I can’t wait to book you again!

Julia was very patient with our dog while he needed to be on Benedryl the first few days and wasn't quite himself. She kept us updated, left our house clean upon leaving, and our dog loved snuggling and watching tv with her.

Victoria was kind and informative. She was patient with our one dog who has a timid personality. Our dogs both showed no signs of stress when we returned home. Last time we placed them in a kennel and they did not do well. Victoria took great care of our dogs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Zeiger

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Zeiger on Rover is $38.85 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 386 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Zeiger. 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 Zeiger 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 Zeiger 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 Zeiger 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 Zeiger. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
