“As first-time Rover users, we were initially nervous, but Taryn immediately set our minds at ease. She warmly suggested a meet-and-greet to ensure it was a good fit for us and our pets. While we were away, Taryn was excellent with communication, checking in upon arrival and sending regular photos and updates. Coming home was a delight; our house was spotless, our dogs were happy, fed, and well-exercised, and Taryn had even thoughtfully started a load of household linens in the wash. We have no doubt our animals adored her and received the very best care. We will absolutely be asking Taryn to return!”
“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!”
“Melissa is wonderful with large dogs and did a fantastic job caring for my two shepherds. She took the time to get to know their personalities and routines, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Her communication was excellent, she was dependable, and it was clear she genuinely cared about my dogs' well-being. It's not easy finding someone confident and experienced with large breeds, but Melissa exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and caring pet sitter. I will absolutely use her again.”
“Mateo was geear and professional to work with. He was able to come by multiple times a day to check up on Domino and provide him the care he needed! Would recommend to friends and family!”
About: I have taken care of all types of animals since I was 5 years old! I spend most of my free time with my pets and I work at a pet store! I own a Jack Russell Terrier, a Mainecoon, a cockatiel, a hamster, many different types of reptiles, and fish. I am very experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to pets! I am constantly caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, as I own 14 myself! It is part of my daily routine and I enjoy doing it. I am very well versed in dog training, as I have studied it in hopes of becoming either a dog trainer or a groomer. I have easily taught my 7 year old rescue dog basic commands such as sitting, spinning, laying down, and even potty training after he had been an outside dog for years. I am able to correctly follow care instructions as I've been doing it for over a year now working with a pet store!
About: I’m an animal lover, have always been & will always be. Since I was a small girl 😊 I’ve had the great pleasure & blessing of owning 6 cats and 9 dogs in my lifetime. My animals are my babies, furry babies are the best! I’m also trained in the Volhard motivational method of dog training, studied holistic animal care, as well as I’ve done therapy dog work (was certified trainer). I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule so I could spend the time needed giving your babies the care they deserve. I spend my mornings normally in the yard, tending the garden, plants and chickens as needed and getting exercise. I have a lot of land for exercising and spending fun time with your baby. My 2 pups are boundary trained and very well mannered. They are also crate trained, so I can offer your pups whatever they need:
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a toddler, and I’ve always jumped at the chance to make new friends with any dog who seeks it!

I’m also easily engaged in a good game of fetch, and I keep dog bags on me for their business! I’m a College Professor, so I have a flexible schedule! I can visit early in the morning, and I’m also available in the evenings as well! I have a very consistent schedule with my cats, so I will happily work around whatever schedule your pet needs! For my visits, I always want to approach any pet as if I’m a guest in their home, and I want to establish trust and respect your pet’s boundaries, whatever they may be! My priorities are the safety of your pet, food, walks if needed, and of course, plenty of attention!

“Catecha was wonderful in every way. Our dog took to her immediately and they obviously fell in love. We were nervous because Roki had NEVER in his 14 years stayed with anyone he hadn't known all his life. Catecha. Sent photos and reports almost every day We highly recommend Catecha and will ask for her if we have future dog free trips”

I do have a fenced in back yard and I can offer them lots of adventure and fun since I stay home full time. I have two daughters who love pets and two dogs (one medium size & one large). Both dogs get along well with both cats and dogs. I live on about 5 acres and can’t wait to host your pets! I have had experience with all kinds of pets for about 21 years. I am totally open to keeping pets with allergies as long as instructed with directions. Please contact Bronwen for more information. I can be reached best by text messages.
About: I’ve had pets for most of my life. I’ve helped with many animal rescue missions by offering my home to them, helping to groom and feed them, and helping want to be owners find great matches. I work full time on M-T! My work allows for a very extended morning, breaks in between my clients and an extensive night. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule.

FAQs for House Sitting - Aikenton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 220 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Aikenton. 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 Aikenton 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 Aikenton 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 Aikenton 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.
