“LeighAnn was amazing with our dogs. We have been looking for a dog sitter for awhile as I am pretty specific about how I want our dogs cared for and she did an amazing job! She sent daily updates and kept us up to date on any changes she had to her schedule. She also brought her dog Boone with her and he did great with our pups. Very sweet guy! We would HIGHLY recommend LeighAnn to anyone needing pet services and will absolutely be using her again.”
“Brodie took to Karissa from the very first moment. She was very professional and I knew he'd be in good hands. She sent a photo update every day so I could see he was doing well. It was nice to come home to a clean house as I left it and a well-kept-for dog who got to snuggle.”
“Jordyn was wonderful with our very spoiled pets. She updated us often with photos and took great care of all three of them. Knowing they were safe and taken care took a huge burden off during a stressful travel. Highly recommend!”
“We were so happy with Haidyn and will certainly be using her again! She was quick to reply and easy to coordinate with, reliable and kind. She house sat our energetic foster dog as well as our many cats while we were out of the country and we came home to happy animals and a clean home! She was very knowledgeable about animals and did her research on our dog's needs prior to meeting. We greatly appreciated her passion and love for animals, knowing ours were being so well taken care of while we were gone.”

“Megan was an excellent sitter. I need help last minute because I had to be in the hospital during the storm for 48 hours straight. Megan made sure my dogs were well cared for with meals, walks, and lots of love/attention. One of my dogs also needed medication and she was able to provide. Would love to have her back!”
“Laura was so friendly and kind with my dog. My dog absolutely loves her…and so do we! We felt comfortable leaving my home and dog in her care. We will definitely be calling on her services again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Gisselle was great! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent while we were gone as this was our first time leaving our puppy and cat with someone for a long time. Will be using her again!”
About: I am determining caring. I also have a passion for animals. I’ve trained my Rottweiler from start to finish. She is my everything and i’m very passionate about being a Dog Mom. I do TikTok live, so I have all the time in the world. I love animals ever since I was young. I’m available seven days a week all hours of the day. Whether it’s in your home or my home and every pet is taken in with care watched over and protected in my care 24/7. I can’t wait!!!
About: Raised animals with lots of love most of life. Puppies all the way to seniors. My last two senior fur babies crossed the rainbow bridge recently so I am missing that thing only an animal could provide! Can't wait to be "walking on sunshine" with your babies! Being semi-retired, I have tons of free time to care for your sweet fur babies. I am available through the week, weekends and/or holidays. Love being with animals Right now, I am available for sitting in clients home only. Lots of love and cuddles, along with following any specific instructions to care for each pet
About: Pet care schedule: Your baby will have 4 outside play sessions a day 6-7am 11-12pm 4-5pm 9-10pm Your baby will take 2 walks on leash to monitor pooping and to help burn out energy. If you are requesting a meet and greet, please understand meet and greets must take place at my residence where your baby is being kept, because I must remain present for pets I am sitting ❤️. A little about me: I enjoy spoiling and treating my fur babies like my own children (because they are lol). I lived on a farm for most of my life and have cared for animal my entire life. I own a mini poodle, named Zoe, who loves playing with other dogs. Zoe and I enjoy dog parks, doggie pools, visiting doggie bakeries to try new treats, playing catch and tug of war, doggie walks, play dates with other dogs, and cuddle time while watching a great movie. My dog is my best friend. Zoe’s healthy and happiness is important to me, and it is equally important to me to ensure your fur baby is cared for with the same quality of time, effort and love. I’m very flexible and I aim to be accommodating to the people I serve. When doggie sitting, I enjoy sending parents daily images of their pups having fun, and I also enjoy sending pups home with a treat. I make sure I am available throughout the day to stay connected with pup parents, and to ensure pups are well cared for and attended to. Lastly, I am also experienced in caring for other animals such as birds, fish, hamsters etc, and I grew up raising and caring for farm animals as well. In my care, your pup will enjoy daily walks, up to 4 outdoor play sessions a day, water play (with doggie sprinkler or doggie pool), access to roam a large fenced back yard, the company and friendship of other dogs, daily treats and snacks (at the approval of the owner), doggie day care shows on a movie projector, and all the cuddles and love they need while you’re away. I’m looking forward to meeting and caring for your fur baby ❤️. I work from home! In addition, i have a ring camera in my home that allow me to monitor pet activity 24/7. I believe in keeping pets safe, comfortable and well entertained. Pups are released outside for potty breaks every 2-4 hours starting at 6am. Pups are given 3-4 play sessions outside in the fenced yard. Play time includes allowing them to play with toys, water (pool, sprinkler), and play among other pups. I typically will keep pups food and water filled, but will keep pups on a special feeding schedule at the request of the parent. I also provide pups with treats through out the day as positive reinforcement but will omit at the parents request. Pups are allowed to roam the house but pups who are not potty trained are crated at bedtime.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was born and have made sure to take care of them well. I have experience and knowledge on most dogs, but I would like to expand that knowledge. This is my first time working with dogs that are not my own. I can do Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am up to 2:00 pm. If I can not scheduled, I am at a family event for the time being. I prefer inside dogs over outside dogs I have a fenced porch, an un-fenced yard, and a friendly Pit Bull who will be a nice companion for your pet. If you don't trust my pit bull I can put him in another room and lock it to help with you comfort
“Elizabeth agreed to take on a last minute request to take care of my old gal one day before leaving on a 10-day trip. Elizabeth stopped by to get acclimated with my dog, and despite my dog being hesitant, Elizabeth agreed to take the job. She was able to stop by daily and provide daily updates via text on how things were going, and it was great to hear how my dog would begin to open up to her as the days went on. I’m glad my dog began to open up and would love to use elizabeth again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Lesly was great!! She agreed to watch Shelby on short notice and kept her busy all day. Shelby was completely worn out by the end of the day and happy as can be. Thanks Lesly, we really appreciate it.”
About: I’ve always had a deep love and passion for animals and their overall well being. I have been the designated pet sitter and care taker for my family and friends for over 10 years. I enjoy all breeds of dogs and especially enjoy high energy dogs that love to play. When your pets are with me you can trust they will have a scheduled day with however many walks and meals they require. I have a designated play room for pets and will only crate them upon your requests. I currently work from home part time and have more then enough free time to keep your loved ones entertained and comfy. I take all my dogs on morning and afternoon walks during the winter I try to plan accordingly with the weather. You can trust your pet will be safe as I have a designated play area away from anything that could harm them or objects they should chew on. If you prefer I come to your house I ensure the pet is safe by following your care guidelines.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ainsworth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ainsworth on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 714 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ainsworth. 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 Ainsworth 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 Ainsworth 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 Ainsworth 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.

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.
