“We had a great experience with Riley. He communicated well while we were away, kept us updated, and gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house, which we really appreciated. Would definitely book again!”
“Margaret was awesome - our boy Cargo does not like being left alone and she was so accommodating with that as an overnight sitter. She also sent frequent updates. When we came back, Cargo acted as if we had only left for a few hours rather than an entire night!”
“Pam was amazing staying in our home with our Cece (Cavalier King Charles) overnight this weekend. We rarely leave Cece as she goes everywhere with us. Pam came for a meet and greet the week prior to our date, showed up a little early and that gave us time to go over anything either of us needed to, texted us pictures of Cece, and left the house tidy and locked up. Cece clearly loved Pam upon meeting her and was very excited when she returned the following week. Pam is a confident, professional, warm person and we will hopefully be able to have her back the next time we need Cece taken care of.”
About: I have always had a soft spot for animals and lived with cats. I started getting into pet sitting when I would walk an elderly neighbor’s little terrier, and I thought hey, why not turn this into a business? Now, I’m happy to care for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I am a grad student working a flexible schedule, so I am happy to accommodate pet care at most times of the day and accept last minute bookings. My approach is to adapt to whatever routine is best for your pet in your home. Especially with cats, I find it best to follow their lead.
“Kristin was great!! It was the first time I’ve ever left the dogs with someone who wasn’t family and she made my dog mom heart feel at such ease. She sent lots of photos and communicated great!! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!”

“Meredith did a wonderful job watching our border collie at our home for a week. She is very personable, conscientious, and provided great care to our dog. Meredith came to our home prior to our vacation to meet us and our dog, and to learn about what was expected of her. Meredith followed our instructions well, and left our home as clean as we left it for her. She really seems to enjoy being with dogs, and had fun with our quirky, affectionate border collie.”
“So grateful for John! Very understanding of the difficulties I had leaving my Luna for the first time like this - sent me multiple texts, pictures and videos assuring me she was doing well and happy. Very flexible with my schedule and made the point to come meet Luna ahead of time on a previous day. Very attentive to Luna's schedule and her specific little quirks. Luna clearly enjoyed her time, giving John a super speed tail wag and some kisses before we left.”
“Kylie and Dylan stayed with our 2 dogs for two weeks and we were very happy with the care they provided. When we returned, our pups were happy and the house was in great shape.”
About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)

I have a fenced in backyard where the animals can freely go to the bathroom. They will be cared for.and kept safe as I keep.all.my own animals safe.
About: I have had at least two dogs in my families house ever since I was born. I have volunteered at dog shelters with my grandmother since I was very young. Additionally, I worked at a doggy daycare over the summers during college years. I am very passionate about animals receiving quality care and attention. I am currently a trainee in the Ann Arbor township fire department and I am On-Call so I have free time to watch or take care of pets. My girlfriend who I live with works a hybrid job during the week so she is very flexible as well. I will take dogs on any length walk they need to be happy and healthy. I will also make sure they eat at the same amount and frequency their owner requests.
About: I've lived with dogs for several years and have experience walking, playing with, and caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels, including plenty of cuddling. I work in person two days a week and am completely flexible the other five, available anytime for walks, feedings, and drop-in visits throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow their usual routines, keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime, and make sure they always have fresh water, attention, and plenty of affection. I also treat every client's home with care and respect, just as I would my own.
About: Hi there! Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter! My name is Ginnie and I would be so grateful for the opportunity to assist you with your pet care needs. I have many clients who would be willing to speak with you regarding their experience when they leave their fur baby with me at my home. I am also available to travel to your home within a reasonable distance to me. I have been pet sitting for over 15 years! I am compassionate, honest, trustworthy and reliable. I previously worked part time for a school district and this required that I had a background and fingerprint check. My goal is to ease your worries and concerns while you're away from your beloved pet. Any questions don't hesitate to ask I'm very transparent. I very much look forward to hearing from you.... Be Well, Ginnie ☺️ *I'm humbled and most grateful for all the kind and thoughtful reviews-And your trust in me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart..... 🙏 I am currently self employed so I'm home most of the time and I am always 100% committed to their health safety and well being. I have a fenced in pen in my backyard and also gates, crates if needed. I don't rush things and let them build trust in me.
“Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Mariana is an outstanding individual who cared for my big baby Great Danes and a barn cat named Rosie if they were own. She is extremely conscientious, trustworthy, a kind, caring and loving person. My husband and I had to away addressing some medical concerns, which has been very stressful in itself, so leaving our pets behind or in a kennel can only add to the stress. Having Mariana in my home with our two Great Danes and knowing how well they were being cared for, removed any concern. She even provided injections to our diabetic dog. Our house was spotless when we returned and she kept us updated with photos and videos the entire time to put our minds as ease that they were all doing great! I would recommend her to anyone needing a house/dog sitter! We plan to have her back every time we have a need to travel in the future. Great job Mariana and special thanks to her husband Chris!”
About: I’ve had cats since 2018 and got Lincoln my dog during the 2020 year. He and I went on many trips including up five mountains. I am openly available, especially on weekends. Weekdays work the best for me especially in afternoons and evenings. As I am on break from school my schedule is open. I have a fenced in yard and live on a cul de sac allowing for dogs to have safe supervised environment to play and relax. Cats are kept inside and can be moved if necessary.
“Alyssa is very sweet, responsive, and responsible. She was wonderful with our cat, Margot, and I felt so reassured knowing Alyssa was at the house during the week we were away. She was also very tidy and respectful of our home. I will definitely be using Alyssa in the future and cannot recommend her enough!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Amboy is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $38 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Amboy 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 Amboy 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 Amboy 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Amboy. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
