As a mom of two and a former first-grade teacher, I understand the unique needs of both pets and families. I excel in caring for puppies and providing specialized care for senior pets, ensuring every furry family member receives the attention and support they deserve. Additionally, our home has been a haven for fostering dogs of all breeds through Columbus, IN C.A.R.E., offering them a safe and loving environment while they await their forever homes.

“Emily was awesome ! Very friendly and knowledgeable, On short notice she was able to accommodate my schedule. She gave me daily updates, would ask questions if anything came up . Maverick enjoyed Emily and my home was left in better condition after she left than when she came. Very conscientious about the needs of Maverick. She will definitely be requested to come back again.”
“Kayla is very understanding and was able to flex her time based on my travel schedule. This was the first time I left my cat alone and I came back to a very happy and calm kitty. Thanks Kayla!”
About: Hey there! My name is Sarah! I am in the Indiana Army National Guard, am 19 years old, and love animals! I would love to help you out with your babies! I have experience with old and young dogs, giving medication, and house training! I am out of school, I am in the Army National Guard, and typically always having evenings free! I don’t work until around 10am so I can do potty breaks before then! I prefer to stay overnight at your home so I can take care of you pets best! I am okay with feeds, potty breaks, and cleaning up in any way. I can also do medication if you show me how!
About: I've taken care of pets all of my life. From puppies all the way up to seniors. I love them all. They all need someone to care for them and feel the extra love especially when their normal family is away. I'm currently flexible and can fit pet care into my daily routine. Occasionally, I will pick up an additional job. But that shouldn't interrupt with taking care of what I love to do and that is to take care of fur babies. I would rather take care of your pets in their environment due to the fact that they are most comfortable there. I also have two fur babies of my own. But I feel as if fur babies are normally happy in their own surroundings.
About: Hi, I’m Olivia :) I’ve had animals my entire life—including dogs, cats, and birds—and even grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I truly love all animals, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. At home I have two kitties of my own that I love dearly, Gus and Sammie. Because I love to travel myself, I know how important it is to have someone caring, dependable, and trustworthy looking after your pets. Being able to give pet parents peace of mind is exactly why I’m here. I work a hybrid job, which gives me the flexibility to work remotely on many days. Just let me know the dates you’re looking for, and I’ll be happy to check my schedule. I’m comfortable with overnight stays, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and keeping your pets on their normal routine. Growing up babysitting taught me responsibility, patience, and compassionate care for those who depend on us, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I watch. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also love being outdoors, so walks and playtime are always something I look forward to! I’m happy to answer any questions you may have for me!! I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or hairless 😆) family members! In the photos provided, you’ll find some of the pets I’ve had the pleasure of caring for over the years, along with a few of the children I’ve babysat. I’m also involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters, so you’ll see a photo of my Little and me as well. I have a hybrid remote job, which gives me flexibility throughout the week with advance notice. I typically work 8am to 5 pm on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m happy to help with evening visits, overnight stays, and pet care right after work! Boarding at my home may not be the best option right now, as I would want to make sure my own cats are properly acclimated first and avoid creating unnecessary stress for your pets. I’d be more than happy to provide care in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. If you’d like to meet beforehand, I completely understand and would be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone feels comfortable.
“Brooke, once again, did a great job. Even getting a couple inches of snow, was not a challenge for our 5 lb Scarlett. Brooke just cleared an area in the backyard so she could do her business. Already have our next trip booked.”
“Heather was very communicative throughout the weekend, and did a great job with house sitting and taking care of two dogs after very short notice from us. She also left the house clean and left us a small gift, which was very nice.”
“Hannah has been great to watch our dog multiple times when we are out of town. She is reliable with good communication throughout the stay. We will continue to reach out to her!”
“Stacey was amazing and went above and beyond for me and my pets. She mentioned she has 3 large dogs and her experience really showed. At one point I ran out of dog food and she offered to go pick some up. She also watched over my guinea pig and took great care of him, since she has rabbits of her own. I will definitely be booking her again and again!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. I’ve always had animals in my household. Neighbors, family, and friends have always trusted me to watch their furry friends while they were away. I work part time at a school from august to may. I have plenty of time every day at home to watch and play with your animals. I have a large fenced in yard for my dogs at home. I live with parents so my dogs have multiple people to let them out and play when needed. In clients homes I let them out often and I am able to walk them and play with them frequently.
About: I have been a pet owner all my life. As a kid, my dog, Jeb, was my best friend. I am loving and great with animals. I am always excited to meet a new dog friend. I love to take my dog on walks so let me take care of your fur baby. I am able to provide specialized services for each dog, depending on their needs. I am reliable and patient, as I have a very spoiled hound dog myself. My availability is open and flexible. I am willing and able to work around your schedule to fit your needs. I would love to play fetch with your dog, run with your dog or just take them on a leisurely stroll in the park.
“Janell was absolutely wonderful! We have five pets (two large dogs and three cats) who, while all lovely, can be a lot to manage all together. Janell took everything in stride and was an excellent caretaker while we were out of town! She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and was very conscientious about their care. She also was very respectful of our home and left everything in great shape! There’s nothing better than knowing your pets are in good hands while you’re out of town and coming home to a happy and cared for crew, and Janell definitely fits that bill. We would absolutely have her watch our pets again!”
“I highly recommend Samantha. She was very diligent in caring for a somewhat complicated schedule for several types of animals. When we returned the animals were happy and well cared for. She also house sat for us. She is very respectful of our property and the house was left in immaculate condition! We could not have been more pleased and it is such a relief to have someone we can trust with our animals and our home. Hire Samantha! You will not be disappointed.”
About: I’ve happily taken care of dogs of any kind, inside their homes for family and friends for 10 years. I have house sat and done drop ins too. I am currently working full time but we will be home with the pups all evening. I am also able to stop in on my lunch breaks to do mid day potty breaks and some play time. On weekends my availability is much more open and I will be able to spend lots of time playing and spending time with the pups. I have 4 dogs of my own at home that I care for and love with my family. I will show the same love and care for your pets as I do with my fur babies!
“Ryan was so, so great!! I had never had the need for a cat sitter up until I moved, and Ryan made the entire experience completely seamless and enjoyable! She followed all instructions, was extremely tidy and trustworthy, and she sent plenty of pictures to give us peace of mind. Not to mention, she is truly just so kind!! I am so happy with my experience and would highly recommend Ryan to watch your babies!”
“Brittany dog sat in our home for 5 nights and was amazing! Very responsive, sent pics of our pups, and took care of the house very well. She is very sweet and our dogs loved her. I would recommend her to others and hire her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Amity
Rick was outstanding! He took care of our three dogs and chickens for over a week. He sent texts with pictures updating us frequently and we were able to have a worry free vacation! He is AMAZING and to top it off our house was spotless when we came home! Rick, we can’t thank you enough and we’ll be booking you again if you’re available :).
This was our first time using a dog sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Rick. He took wonderful care of our dogs, Stella and Kona, for 8 days and also looked after our home. Both dogs are timid, but Rick was patient and kind, and they truly warmed up to him and felt safe in his care. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were so well looked after. Rick was fantastic about keeping us updated with lots of wonderful pictures. We’re very grateful and would absolutely recommend Rick to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Amity on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,121 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Amity. 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 Amity 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 Amity 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 Amity 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Amity. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
