“Julia was absolutely fantastic and provided the best in-home/overnight care for our Frenchie! She was communicative and always quick to reply, sent pictures, and treated our home with the utmost respect. We will definitely rebook!”
“Fawn is excellent! Pictures and updates multiple times. She found out our pets quirks and talked about how they were doing. She is professional and did a stellar job. We will be using her in the future.”
“Kate communicated well and often when house sitting with my 2 dogs. She seemed patient and empathetic with my elderly dog. The house looked great when we got home and while away I was happy to see pics texted to me of them going for walks, which they love!”
“Amber was amazing with our dogs during her stay. She was very patient with our older dog, and sent lots of photos to keep us up to date. We will definitely be re-booking with her in the future.”
About: I’ve interacted with all types of animals and shadowed at veterinary clinics since I was a child. In the past few years, I’ve startedi helping pet sit for friends and family for periods ranging from a couple of days to a few weeks. I work 8:30-5 M-F, but have an hour lunch everyday. I have availability and reliable transportation before and after work hours as well. I make sure to follow owner preferences and safety precautions. This can mean making sure a dog stays away from other animals during walks, or making sure there is no trash around the house that the pet could easily get into.
About: I live on a farm back home & have over a decade of animal care of all kinds! I have many farm cats and two dogs at home, as well as two cats that live with me! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes & would love to spend time with your best friend! I would especially love to hang out with dogs as I don’t want to get my own until I can give them a fenced in yard:) My boyfriend Gabe also helps out with the pet care! I am pretty free all summer & I can give as much or as little attention as your pet requires! I’m available to do random walks throughout the day or stay full time at your residence to give 24/7 care to your pet. I would like to follow your routine as much as possible, so honestly whatever you do with your pet I will copy! It’s important to keep their routines from changing frequently!
About: Growing up I always had cats and/or dogs in the house so I've had animal caretaking experience since a very young age. I currently have a very sweet 2y/o XL Bully, a very crazy 9 y/o Pit Bull-Jack Russell Terrier mix, and two adorable kittens. I've stayed up to two weeks in non-family memeber's homes to care for their pets and have never had complaints I am currently unemployed. So I will be able to spend a lot of time with your pets. I'm searching for remote work so hopefully even when I'm employed I will be able to work around your animals' schedule. When I wake up I make sure the animals are fed before feeding myself, I don't let my day start unless their tummies are full. I love snuggling up with animals and making sure they have plenty of playtime.
“I used this app because I needed a last minute dog sitter because I was able to go to the Iowa game. Friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to drop my pooch off back to me after the game. Five stars!”
About: I grew up with a fur baby, pet sitting and walking for my neighbors, and helped train my parents two new mini bernedoodles! 🐾 Pets have always had a special place in my heart and I love to show them love! I am a nurse that works three days a week, mostly consisting of nights and weekends! This allows me to have lots of availability during weekdays as well as some weekends! :) When caring for your pets, my priority is their safety, comfort, and happiness! I will follow your instructions carefully; such as feeding/walk schedules, medication needs, and favorite toys or activities! Please share anything special you would like me to know your pet and their typical routine 🤍🦮🐩
About: I grew up with a dog and I lived with dogs. I was often left in charge of the needs and cares of these animals. I am capable of caring for multiple dogs at a time and have no issues with walking them simultaneously. I work a full time job I’m available evening and nights during the week and sometimes on the weekends. I have 3 days off a week. I abide by the rules you set for your pets from feeding time to going outside, two walks a day and plenty of play time. I have a mellow energy and a strong ability to pick up on an animal’s vibes, adjusting my own energy to match. If they’re playful and active, I will engage with them on their level. I’m currently working a full time job. I work two twelve hour days and 2 eight hour days every week. I work two weekends every month but I have 3 days off a week. I’ll take care of them like they are my own. I make sure they are safe and have everything they need especially if I’m not there.
“Savannah really pulled through for us during a time where we needed a last minute sitter. She was able to help us out SO MUCH and house sit our two high maintenance pups: our new shelter puppy, and our elderly lab with epilepsy. Savannah is incredibly sweet and you can tell that she loves animals. She has a welcoming, calm, loving energy and we felt our pups would be well cared for. She stayed in communication with us and sent photos, checking in with any questions and provide updates. We’ll be sure to reach out to her again in the future!”
“This review comes from a mom that rarely has to leave her "babies", but could not pass up an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime family vacation. We found Auden...and for a reason...she is not only an amazing dog mom, but a fantastic dog sitter! Auden spent two weeks with our dogs in our home. She went above and beyond when it came to to taking care of our dogs, in addition, our home. The highlight for all of us was our dogs making a new friend, Yen, which is Auden's dog. All three dogs are dachshunds and get along wonderfully! Made our hearts happy! We have many plans coming up in the near future and will be contacting Auden again. Thanks to Auden for giving us peace of mind and for making our pups happy.”
“We came home to very happy pups after Maria watched them! She made sure they were well taken care of and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. Not only were the dogs cared for, she took good care of the house as well. She really put our mind at ease and we will be calling her again!”
“Christine was absolutely amazing! We were hesitant in finding a house sitter for our dogs and cats as we’ve had a bad experience in the past, so I feel so lucky finding her! She cared about the wellbeing of our pets, sending photos throughout the day, giving us piece of mind. One of our dogs has major separation anxiety so she made sure to give him extra TLC. She took great care of our apartment too! I love that she was communicative and just had great energy. Christine will now be our go-to sitter for as long as she is available.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 288 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Amish. 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 Amish 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 Amish 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 Amish 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.
