“Angela was wonderful. She visited before the overnight to meet everyone, and they all reacted positively. I came home to a peaceful house with calm animals, everything was clean and neat, feeding areas were ready for the next meal. She contacted me when one of the gang had an accident, about my preferred method of dealing with it. She arrived promptly and started sending pictures and updates. We will be having her to house sit again.”
“Great communication and I could tell from what they were saying about Roger that he was well taken care of and they were truly spending time with him. Will definitely book them again!”
“Catecha did an excellent job caring for Aries. I’m very detail-oriented with his routine, and she followed everything exactly as asked; feeding times, water schedule, play structure, and settling. Her communication was great and gave me a lot of peace of mind. She checked in often, responded quickly, and made sure I always knew how he was doing. Aries can be a high-energy dog with specific needs, and she handled him with patience, confidence, and consistency. She even took care of small things around the house, like taking out the trash, and we came home to everything just as we left it. I felt comfortable the whole time and would happily have her care for him again.”
“Kanija was very prompt in her reply and spot on with arrival time. My three dogs were very receptive to her and the attention she gave them. I would most definitely recommend her as a pet sitter and would use again if needed.”
About: I have always had pets- dogs, cats, a ferret at one time and even my son's snake for a while. Whenever I am in the country, I take care of people's furry friends when they are not able to. My ChocoDoggo is my buddy and so I understand how important it is for her to be well-cared for if I am not able to. I have a fenced yard and friendly dogs and cats. I can take care of your babies at my home or at yours. One of my dogs swims in the small lake behind my home.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life mainly dogs but I love cats too I have worked at a grooming company and at a boarding facility I have plenty of experience I still work at the boarding facility so I can watch the animals on days I’m off and on Sundays. I work every Saturday so that’s one day I most definitely can’t work on I won’t be able to bring pets into my home because I already have dogs but I can go to my clients home to pet sit or what ever you need.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of all ages, and I have specific experience with both puppy training and senior pet care. I am Currently Working from home so I am readily available! I also Have pets of my own so I am used to taking care of my animals and my adopted babies( your pets) on a routine schedule! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent. I follow all instructions exactly—feeding, medication, walking routes, crate or bedtime routines, and any training the pet is currently working on. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in the home, keep the environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are safe and happy.
About: Something that was sent me apart from other sitters that I’m very versatile. I love the pets that just chill but I also love the ones that want to get up and play. I’m down for both. Hey! I’m Tee, a freelance videographer with a lifelong passion for animals. So I kinda make time for your fur baby. Since the age of four, I’ve been surrounded by dogs, making me an experienced and loving pet caretaker. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring parks and trails with my furry companions. I understand how important your pet is to you, and I’m committed to providing them with the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a fun walk or some quality playtime, your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend soon! I have a huge fenced in yard as well as a smaller fur baby. I am also fine with crating your baby if it needs to be crated but it’s not my first choice.
“Joalice provided excellent care for our senior large dog. She is responsible, kind and communicative. She also took care of our home. We highly recommend Joalice and hope we can see her again soon.”
About: All Dog and Cats are welcomed !! I’ve had a dog since I could remember. Every time I come across any other dogs they become so clingy and don’t leave my side. Dogs are an emotional support for me personally. I’m very gentle, caring , patient and a little too generous with treats I’m working full time as of right now. I Also will start early in the morning for feeding , play time and walks. I can also make the dogs as part of my weekly routine I have a large room for playing and zoomies. There is also nice parks around for walks. I don’t have a fence as of right now but it’ll be one soon
About: I’ve taken care of multiple different dogs, and cats at once. I’ve worked with elderly dogs and dogs who have needed medication as well. I'm available throughout the week so your fur baby will get lots of attention. I’m also available most weekends to pet sit as well! I have a big open yard perfect for your baby to run around in. I have one dog and four cats that are super friendly to everyone.
“Emily and her boyfriend were an absolute pleasure to have catsit our apartment during a 2 week trip. Emily was extremely attentive to all details we shared about our two kitties (feeding guidelines, behavioral patterns, litterbox routine, playtime) as well as general apartment routine (mail pickup, trash runs, etc.). Our kitties quickly grew accustomed to their presence (one of our kitties is especially timid, so that is no easy feat!), and our apartment was treated with the utmost care :) we also received many updates including photos of our fur babies during the duration of our trip! my girlfriend and I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone in need of pet sitting services!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Adgateville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 230 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Adgateville. 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 Adgateville 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 Adgateville 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 Adgateville 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
