âJennifer has been an absolute blessing! She is always on time, communicates exceptionally well, and keeps me updated with pictures and messages while Iâm away. She is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about my dogs. My dogs are not the easiest to care for, so finding someone they are comfortable with has always been a challenge. Jennifer has been incredibly patient with them, and they do so well in her care. Knowing theyâre happy, safe, and loved gives me complete peace of mind every time I leave. She has truly become my go-to pet sitter, and I canât recommend her enough. If youâre looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Jennifer is the one!â

âAllison 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!â

About: Born and raised with a love of all the furry friends! This is my full time thing and I care for horses too! I gained experience working with my mother who was a vet tech, breeder, trainer, and showed multiple breeds. Raised on a horse farm. My sister and cousin are also both vet techs that are close easy contacts if ever I have a need or question. I am detailed, organized and a patient Pet Sitter. My history, outgoing demeanor, time management skills, along with my love of animals, make me uniquely qualified to care for pets of all kinds. I currently have a dalmatian (my personal doggy assistant making all pups feel comfy) and a pug mix are unbelievably friendly to all animals and humans alike. I care for pets in all age ranges and breeds from Great Danes to Pomeranians. I'm experienced with even the high energy or "difficult" pups and provide them with a safe environment to learn good manners, develop social skills, and have the opportunity to get out all their energy. Your pups don't just get care but I work with all the pups whether its leash training, fence reactivity, potty training, and/or basic commands. Depending on the pup I can provide baths and/or nail trimming but top notch grooming care I highly recommend Bark and Beyond! Christine is the best! I am home full time. I am very flexible with drop in/off times, meet and greets, and readily available to whatever your specific pet needs may be. I provide it all so no sweating over the details. Toys, crates, dog beds, bowls of all kinds, a splash pad, seperate spaces if needed, puppy only zone, and lots of love is all included. I have an ENORMOUS fenced in yard and a doggy door so the pups get to come and go from the house to the yard as the please. Plus with 2 fur babies of my own to keep your pup company. Both get along fantastically with new animal and human friends! I am open to potty training, and crating if needed.

âThis was our first experience with Bryan. Throughout the whole process Bryan was extremely professional and caring. He made it a point to get down on our pet's level to help them feel comfortable. He sent several photos and videos which helped us enjoy our time away. We will defiantly be reaching out to Bryan again for future house sitting needs!â

About: Iâve owned two dogs and have taken care of dogs for several years. Neighbors, family, friends, and clients have relied on me to provide comforting and necessary care for their pet(s) when theyâre away from home. Iâm currently on Summer break from college. Schedule is flexible to fit your pet care needs. Open weekend availability. Always happy to do a meet and greet before booking. In clientâs homes I provide the necessary care for the pet(s), including feeding, daily exercise, and making sure the pet is safe, happy, and comfortable.
âThis was our first experience with Rover.com, and honestly, we were a bit anxious about entrusting our dogs and home to a stranger. However, Alex turned out to be fantastic! Our male rottweiler can be quite a handful, but we felt at ease with Alex because sheâs a vet tech. Her expertise made it clear she knew how to manage dogs with various temperaments. Everything went smoothly on her end. She kept us updated during our trip, which really put our minds at rest. When we returned, the house was spotless; she even washed the bed sheets and towels she used. Alex treated our dogs and home like they were her own. We highly recommend her services and will definitely book with her again!â

âDestiny is a dream come true ! She did a wonderful job watching Bubba for a week during our vacation. Although Iâm a lil late writing this review due to a death in our familyâŚ. I would definitely use Destiny again ! She kept Bubba occupied so not to have any anxiety, he was happy and healthy! Destiny is very sweet , calm , and a all around wonderful person .â


âKay was wonderful and took great care of my house and my pup, even going above and beyond his usual activity requirements. She is very reliable and communicated with me very well about any going ons.â

âHannah recently watched our golden retriever and Siamese cat rescue while we were away for a wedding, and from start to finish we couldn't be more impressed. From the very first meeting, her professionalism and compassion was what really stood out - she immediately was able to put our pets (and us!) at ease. When we came back, our babies were in excellent spirits and we found our home looking better than we left it, which was very much appreciated. Hannah is a rare find - reliable, professional, and genuinely kind-hearted. We will definitely be booking her again and cannot recommend her enough to any pet parents looking for peace of mind.â


âGabbie was terrific!! She helped us out last minute and was very professional, trustworthy and communicative. We had one dog who was needing some extra special care and she didnât even blink. She even helped us out with her expertise and product for our itchy dog! Very highly recommend Gabbie!â

âStephanie did a wonderful job for me. My almost-senior cat, Hazelnut, took to her, âshadowingâ her. Stephanie did all that I had asked and then some. She followed feeding cat feeding protocol to the letter in addition to watering plants, and even trash/recycling management. Stephanie was very respectful of my home. I highly recommend Stephanie.â

About: I have loved helping out my neighbors with pet care since I was ten (over ten years ago!) and my love and responsibility has only grown since then! I volunteer with CFA weekly by cleaning litter, cages, and playing with the kitties while theyâre awaiting adoption. I have limited availability to evenings and weekends.I am occasionally available for weekday mornings. Please message me for more info as my schedule changes frequently. I have a fenced yard and no other animals currently. Highly walkable area with close access to dog park if wanted. Am comfortable traveling to clients house or holding here!
âKendall was amazing. Very caring and loving to our pups. She takes the time and cares for them as if they are one of her own. Very professional and kept us informed while we were on our trip! Very happy with having her watch our pups!!â

About: Iâve been taking care of and loving on the pets of my community since I was 17 years old. Iâve kept cats, dogs, and fish, with various health statuses. Every pet is different, so I make sure to learn their personalities and respect whether they are clingy or standoffish. I canât wait to hear about your fur babies! I work primarily for myself, so my schedule is customizable and remote. There may be days of the week where I am required to be somewhere for a specific amount of time, but that will be communicated beforehand! Outside of that, I have open availability! Unfortunately, I am not currently able to bring pets into my home. However, I always make sure to respect the clients boundaries. If given the opportunity to take care of your pet, I follow instructions of how the owners prefer for me to watch their pets (which includes food schedule, outside/bathroom time, where animals are allowed in the house, and treats).
âEmily took great care of our dog Kaia while we were away. She sent frequent updates which put our minds at ease. It was clear when we got home that Kaia had a great time with her. She seemed relaxed and content. We look forward to Emily spending time with Kaia again in the future!â


About: I take your petâs routine seriouslyâand their little quirks personally. Iâve had dogs and cats throughout my life, and friends trust me to care for their pets while theyâre away, including a British Shorthair cat and a dog. I know that feeling comfortable means more than a full food bowl: it means familiar routines, patience, attention, and company they actually enjoy. Whether your pet loves a long sniff-filled walk, endless playtime, or someone quietly sitting nearby, Iâll follow their lead. Iâll respect your instructions, keep you updated with photos, and pay attention to the little things you tell me matter. My goal is simple: a happy, comfortable petâand you enjoying your time away without wondering how theyâre doing. I can walk dog and feed cats anywhere from 7.30 am to 3 pm and 3.30 pm to 11 pm. Working from home so my schedule can be flexible I make a pet feels like home. I have a water fountain and can follow any diet restriction if needed. I have a three story town house and usually pets are on the first floor
âAmanda did a great job with our anxious and reactive dog. She handled all of his meds well and even gave him extra breaks and walks outside. He was happy and relaxed when we got home for our trip.â

FAQs for House Sitting - Ailston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,559 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ailston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Ailston walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ailston 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Ailston 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.

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.
