“It’s been such a pleasure experience having Leigh as a pet sitter for my two babies. She’s very knowledgeable about cats and made my little shy guy comfortable being around her. This is not something many people can do in such a short time. I’ll definitely book with her again.”
About: Animals have been my life since before I could walk! I've cared for all sorts of animals in all life stages, and I've worked in pet retail, pet care, and more recently in beginner vet care! I do best with older dogs but I can handle puppies and seniors, and I can administer medications from pills to insulin injections! I have my own pets, so what's the harm in caring for a few more? Given proper advance notice, I will fit your furry friends into my schedule and make sure they get the best care possible! Going away and leaving your best friends behind can be scary and nerve-wracking! I prefer visiting your home when caring for your pets, as it's an environment your animal has already established as a safe place! As a fellow pet parent, I'm happy to say that I'm very much a helicopter pet-sitter. If I notice anything slightly off I will never hesitate to let you know! It's always better to be safe than sorry. I will use my experience in the pet care and vet field to make sure your loved one is safe and happy while you're away!
“Sarah was fantastic! I was very at ease that I had to be away for 9 days and know that my Griz was well cared for with her staying in my home. 10/10 recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!”
“What can I say about Christine? She was a godsend! After losing my beloved dog, I wanted to adopt another one after my family vacation. But when I saw my current puppy up for adoption, I immediately fell in love with him because he reminded me of my previous soul dog. I applied for adoption, and the shelter approved us. They allowed us to adopt my beloved Charlie if we could find a reliable dog sitter to watch him while I was away. I picked up Charlie just 2 days before my trip, and I was really worried about my brand-new, scared little puppy. But Christine went above and beyond with my baby. She stayed at my house with him the whole time, took great care of him, and gave him so much love. During my trip, she noticed he was coughing and even offered to take him to my vet — and she did. I highly recommend Christine to anyone looking for someone with the gift of caring and giving genuine love to your best friend :)”
“Such a pleasure having Kathleen take care of our pets and home when we have to be away. Firstly, our pets love her dearly and are so excited when she arrives (that they barely notice us leaving). Secondly, she is dependable to be present and to execute our requests. We have pets with medical needs and some are isolated from others. She always takes such care to give each pet the love, care, and space they each need. We found a gem with Kathleen! 😊”

“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”
“Matt & Jenni were outstanding. We needed their services for not just spending the night with Sasha and Roxie but plenty of exercise, making sure they ate properly and of course giving them lots of love. There were messages/updates with photos throughout each day which further helped us know everything was in good hands. Thank you! Dan & Kim S.”

“Ann was fantastic staying in my home with my dog! I have an anxious pup and she did a meet and greet ahead of time to help him warm up. I knew she took good care of him with all her picture updates and I felt very comfortable knowing Oliver was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Aikin
Erica was truly beyond incredible—hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had for our two golden retrievers. From the moment we left, it was clear how genuinely loving and attentive she was; our dogs absolutely adored her. She went far above and beyond by sending frequent photo updates (without being asked), which gave us so much peace of mind and showed just how happy and comfortable they were. She stayed with them nearly the entire time, treating them like her own, and it made all the difference. You can’t fake that level of care—it was obvious in every interaction and update. We would recommend Erica to anyone without hesitation and will 100% be using her again.
Chandler and Bryan did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, Spinach. We were able to go on vacation with peace of mind that he was in good hands. We really appreciated the daily report and picture. We missed our boy but it made traveling much easier knowing that he was able to stay in our home with someone we trusted and he felt comfortable with.
Leaving our dog, Coco, for a week is never easy—especially since he requires extra care—but Kayla made the entire experience so much easier. She stayed in our home, kept his routine consistent, and handled all of his medications and supplements with great attention and care. Knowing Coco was able to remain in his own environment while being looked after so thoughtfully gave us real peace of mind. Kayla was dependable, communicative, and genuinely compassionate, which truly showed in how well Coco was cared for. We’re incredibly grateful for the level of care she provided and would absolutely trust her again. We highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
This as our third time using Suzann in a short period of time. I cannot say enough about her. I was having surgery and needed her on short notice. Suzann was very accommodating in meeting our needs. If you need a house/pet sitter you can count on, contact Suzann.
Carly was great. Stayed an overnight with our four dogs and was amazing. She came to the house twice to do a meet and greet. One of ours has an issue getting to know people. Carly was super patient with him and by the end of the first visit he was in love with her. Highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Aikin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Aikin on Rover is $40 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 1,215 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Aikin. 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 Aikin 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 Aikin 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 Aikin 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 Aikin. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
