“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our in-home pet sitter Tonia! She stepped in on very short notice and immediately put our minds at ease. From the moment we connected, her professionalism and genuine love for animals were clear. She did an exceptional job caring for our two dogs, not just meeting their basic needs, but truly engaging with them. It was obvious they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. She kept us updated and sent lots of photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Beyond caring for our pets, she treated our home with the utmost respect, treating it as if it were her own. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it. We could not be happier with the experience and feel so grateful to have found her. We will absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate care for their pets and home.”
“Christine did a great job taking care of sweet Neenah. She provided us with updates, pics and was flexible with our return. Look forward to working with Christine for future needs.”
“I highly recommend Sean for anyone in need of pet care! We found him last minute after the sitter we originally hired disappeared. Sean came for a meet and greet and was punctual on the day of the service. His patience in winning our dog’s trust was commendable. Despite yesterday’s severe weather, Sean bravely ensured our dog's comfort while we were delayed on the road. He was truly our dog’s hero! We are immensely thankful to have found him. Returning home, everything was clean and in order. Sean's reliability, attention to detail, excellent communication skills, honesty, and genuine care make him the perfect pet sitter! Thank you so much, Sean. We truly hope to work with you again.”
“Katherine did a great job with our 2 rambunctious dogs! She was very communicative during her stay which made us feel very comfortable. I would definitely have Katherine stay with our dogs again”
“5 stars, as always! Blair is the perfect pet sitter, in my opinion! She keeps me well informed about my pets with friendly comments and pictures. She has been flexible with our changing schedule. In fact, she will be taking care of our pets and house again a few weeks from now! Thank you, Blair!”
“Sebastian continues to go above and beyond for our 7 pets and the care of our home! I received plenty of pictures that show how well he cares for our pets and spends quality time with them all. He clearly communicates everything that goes on with our pets, from the cuteness to the cat puke. I really appreciate the multiple updates and I can truly relax while I’m away from home! He even goes out of his way on the little things like grabbing the mail, checking on our vehicles, vacuuming, AND refilling our dog’s daily pill container!!! I know our pets look forward to seeing him again.”
“Saige is the real deal!! She is very professional and accommodating. She gave our pup lots of love and snuggles and took great care of our high-maintenance girl. Luna can't wait to see Saige again!”
“Alexys did a Great job with my old chocolate lab, Bentley! I appreciate her spirit and compassion for how she cares. She was always on time and Bentley really enjoyed being with her!! Thanks for all of your hard work!!”
“Jack was great! We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and he took the time to come meet me and the dogs before watching them on the weekend. He kept our dogs safe during a tornado warning and when we came home the dogs were completely relaxed.”
“Jennifer was great with my 5 fur babies!! They all warmed up to her super fast. She sent pics and updates every day. I came home to happy animals. I would love to book her again in the future.”
“I was worried about leaving my beloved elderly pup (14 years young) but Jenna made my fears disappear. Jenna stayed at my house while we were away on vacation and sent daily updates (including photos) on how things were going. Everything was great, my pup was happy to be at home in a familiar environment. Jenna was also great in working with our schedule as our flight was canceled and then we were delayed coming home. I would defiantly recommend Jenna and would use her again in the future!”
“Kayla did an amazing job caring for our pets! She was very responsive, kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was clear our pets were happy and well cared for.

Alli was wonderful! My dogs loved her and they are a great judge of character. She took great care of my aging fur babies and the house while I was away. She did an outstanding job of communicating and sharing pictures throughout my time away, easing my mind that all was well. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Amelia on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,309 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Amelia. 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 Amelia 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 Amelia 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 Amelia 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.
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.
