About: I’ve worked with animals professionally for 3+ years, I started out working at an animal shelter and I am now working as a veterinary assistant. I’m currently in school to become a veterinary technician! Friends and family have relied on me for many years to walk, feed, play and just hangout with their pets! I love all animals big and small! I am currently in college and working part time but I have extra time to take care of your fur babies! I have lots of spare time within my weekly schedule! I can easily make accommodation's for any of my clients homes and pets and any of their needs! Whether it’s just stopping in for a potty break, a meal time or a walk!

“Phillip did a great job watching my doggo. He sent photos and updates which helped ease the separation. One photo was so funny I am printing it for my office desk. He left the house exactly as it was and I absolutely would rebook for our next trip.”

“Tucker was amazing — he took great care of my fur baby and provided pics regularly AND he was gracious and unflappable in the face of some unforeseen challenges. Flexible, great communicator, and left the house cleaner than he found it. Great with following directions and proactively taking care of all the things — he even noticed the light on the automatic feeder and refilled it before I even messaged him about the notification I’d received. Perhaps best of all, he saw AJ for the loving, playful kitty that he is—so I knew AJ was feeling comfortable and that he was in good, kind hands. Would definitely recommend to others and would be glad to have his help again!”

“Talia was awesome with Maxy and the unexpected visit of MJ (the neighbor’s cat) She talked to them and took very good care of them. We already have another visit booked for this week.”

About: Hi! Our family moved to Stoughton a year and a half ago and I have extra time to pet sit. I am a former CVT (in Oregon) and before staying home with the kids I worked the majority of my career in veterinary medicine, with dogs, cats, farm animals and exotics. I have done a lot of pet sitting in the past and my family is always ecstatic to have an extra friend staying at our house too. My time is flexible. Currently, our only dog is Chocolate, the kindest gentlest old lab mix. I have 2 daughters, 12 and 14 and an awesome husband. My schedule is flexible. Since moving here, I am not working and our girls are in school. As far as outside of school hours, my family is very supportive and I can make most anything work. If you see my calendar days as unavailable, just reach out, I may be able to move things around. As far as safety, I would call myself near paranoid. We put a gps tracker on our dog and also on others when they visit. All safety measures are taken when it comes to caring for someone else’s pet. They are people’s family members. Therefore, they are welcomed into our home as part of the family. We live next to the park and do regular walks. I always make sure to take safety precautions and when visiting pets in people’s homes, treat the animals with kindness, give them extra love, follow the instructions of the client and never take any sort of advantage of going into people’s homes. It’s important to communicate with the client as well to make them feel reassured that their pet is safe.
“Samantha is great with my beagles. They got into stuff they shouldn’t have and she graciously cleaned up after them. Very communicative when there was concerns. Will request her services in the future.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach and extensive experiences with dogs and puppies. I have two dogs of my own right now one is a beagle and the other is a rescue. My family has had many dogs over the years including many labs and lab shelter mix which I have soft spots for. I also have a genuine love for animals and I love to take them for walks and play with them. I have dogsat for many different families and dogs over the past several years for both shorter times and extended periods of time from toy aussies to st Bernard’s and Newfoundland. I have experience with dogs of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I have helped to administer medications to pets when needed, helped with mobility, potty training, and providing comfort. I always make sure to create a loving, cozy, and playful environment where your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I am a nurse. I prioritize time management and plan my days to ensure I can dedicate quality time to pet care. Whether it is in the morning, evenings, or on the weekends I am happy to accommodate and find time for your pets needs. I will always try to make time and balance my responsibilities so that your pets receive the attention love and care they deserve. Your pets well-being is important to me, and I’m committed to providing them with consistent and reliable care. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure to create a safe and comfortable environment where your pets receive feels right at home. I ensure there is a consistent routine, whether it is feeding times, walking, visits, playtime, etc. so your pet feels secure and happy. In your home, I’m careful to follow any specific guidelines you’ve set, ensuring your pets receive feels stays in their familiar environment with as much routine as possible. Whether it is providing fresh water, administering medications, or offering love and attention, I am committed to keeping your pet happy and healthy!
“Emma was extremely helpful and took great care of the house and our kitten. The pictures she sent were greatly appreciated. We felt very comfortable with our home in her care.”

“Amanda was terrific. She provided great communication during her stay and I really appreciated the daily photos and reports. She was great with my dogs. She is very warm and friendly and I enjoyed the interaction.”

“Anik was an amazing cat sitter! Excellent communication, genuine care, and incredible attention to detail throughout the entire stay. The cats received so much love and attention. Anik went above and beyond, including taking the time to train French Fry to run on the wheel! That extra effort and patience really showed how much Anik cared about making the cats happy and comfortable. We would definitely book with Anik for future care.”


“Rachel took care of our little zoo while we were away and she did a spectacular job! She even let our pups sleep in bed with her so their routine wasn’t disrupted! She sent me many updates and constantly communicated with me which is always so so appreciated. We will definitely be using her again!!”


About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. Growing up my parents always had dogs and cats. My best-friend growing up was my dog Samantha who just turned 15 is a sweet Belgian Mali. I work at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation as a cook for the the Early Education Center. I work from 7am-1pm and then I am home with my dog Lyla and I enjoy going out and taking her out on walks/hikes to Fort Harrison and to the nearby parks in Lawrence. I have a fenced in backyard that dogs can run around in any time they would like too. I live on a quiet street just outside of 465.
About: I started taking care of animals, both cats and dogs, 11 years ago! I've provided animal care services for family members, friends, and for other families through referrals! It's extremely enjoyable to me when I get the privilege to take care of a new animal.! I never want a owner to worry their animal might be too much for me as I've dealt with a variety of dogs and cats in both size and temperament- I can handle practically anything! A majority of my animal care (if not all) has involved me staying the night for a week or two with the animal/s. I love to spend a lot of time and be active with the animals! Whatever was needed and instructed in care maintenance for a clients animal- I've happily handled with ease! As of right now I'm doing freelance work, so my availability is pretty open!

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I have a 7 year old golden named bode. I am familiar with medication distribution and other restrictions. Bode was diagnosed with lymphoma at 5 and has been in remission for 2 years. I grew up with labs as well as shitzus and my dad has a 9 year old golden. I would prefer to meet any candidate prior to boarding as they will be in the same space as my golden, he’s a gentle giant and gets along with all animals. He is a service animal so I have experience in training and younger dogs as well. I work from home full time and have a lot of free time to give during the week. Weekends are busy for me at the moment but will slow down come winter. I work from home so week days are great I have a lot of flexibility for walks and play time and potty breaks. Very attentive and will have my golden to play with. Big grass area to play at but no fence, live in a townhome with lots of toys. Since I work from home I’m very attentive and responsive.
“I can't recommend Kate enough! My doggo (Kooper) has some separation anxiety. When I reached out to Kate we discussed what her home would be like for a dog. I was a little nervous, because typically we ask sitters to come and stay at our house but decided that we would do a meet a greet to see how that went. Kate, Cody, Gus (dog), and Poe (cat) made our dog and us so comfortable. Gus and Kooper got along great and even though Koop has never been around cats, him and Poe were fast friends! Kate has a great yard for playing and her schedules allows for lots of 1:1 time with the pets. Kate was flexible, provided consistent updates, and was extremely responsive with her communications. Everything went wonderfully! Kooper was sent home happy, safe, and with a positive report card and goodies. I will definitely be connecting with Kate again about future visits!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 900 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Albion. 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 Albion 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 Albion 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 Albion 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.

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.
