“Raelynn was awesome! She spent a lot of time with my dogs and really made sure they were getting lots of attention. It rained one of the days she was here, which meant no play time outside, so she played games with the puppy so that he had the opportunity to wear off some energy and get the mental stimulation he needed. She also sent me daily updates with pictures so that I was able to know how everyone was doing. I would definitely have Raelynn back again.”
“This was the second time Alexandra took care of our dogs and cat. Both times she took excellent care of our pets. She provided updates and included pictures. Would book with her again.”
“Yvette did a great job. We have an aggressive dog so our situation isn’t the easiest for most sitters but she kept everyone safe and our home clean. We would highly recommend her.”
“Lauren is truly AMAZING. From the moment she arrived, she was so sweet, calm, and patient with our dogs. She took the time to get to know them, understood their little quirks, and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. She took them out regularly, kept us updated, and treated them with so much kindness that it felt like they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will absolutely be using her again in the future.”
“Jennifer was very kind to watch Mamba with less than a week's notice, which I really appreciated! Mamba also had a last-minute vet visit and Jennifer was still willing to watch her with a cone, and some new medication to administer that I had not planned on. Everything went smoothly! Loved getting pictures as well!”
“Heather was responsive, kind, and did an amazing job with our super senior pup, Rocky, and our newest addition Martha! We had only had Martha for a week when we did the meet and greet, and Heather was very understanding and flexible with the unknowns of a newly adopted dog. We did not have a single worry while we were away for the weekend and we came home to a clean home and 2 content dogs!”
“Jaime did a great job taking care of my 2 cats and 2 dogs while I was on a work trip. He was communicative and competent, listened to my pets needs and took flawless care of them. I didn't have to worry at all as I received regular photo updates. Thank you, Jaime!”
About: I’ve taken care of my family & friends dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Would love to take great care of yours as well! I currently work 8-5 and am looking to fit in pet sitting as a side hustle. I am completely free outside of my work hours & on weekends. I am most interested in house sitting, drop-by visits (walks, playing, feeding, etc.) and any other way I can provide care in your home .
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats as a professional groomer for the past 5 years. I am a mom to a tripod Shiba Inu mix and a deaf Shih Tzu mix! I work for a school district 7-4 Monday-Friday. This has freed up my schedule on weekday evenings and weekends are typically free with a bit of notice! I have a soft spot for seniors, I am especially gentle with the sugar faced pets. I understand each pet is a unique situation and will have flexibility to meet their needs!
“Mikayla is an amazing house sitter! She knew exactly how to approach my reactive dog, she stayed calm even though we had a dangerous storm and a tornado warning at our house her first night there. She sent me pictures and responded quickly to any texts. Her questions about the pets ( two dogs and a cat) showed me she is really think about their comfort and routine. I could not be more pleased. I have already booked another time for her to keep my pet babies in July.”

I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including administering medications and handling special dietary needs. I also provide plenty of exercise and playtime to keep your dog happy and healthy. Plus, I’m committed to clear communication with you by sending you pictures of your furry child, so you always know how your dog is doing. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine. I dedicate focused time each day to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. Since I don’t work during the summer, I’m especially available to provide flexible and consistent care, making it easier for you to travel and enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. Whether it’s daily visits or longer stays, I’m committed to fitting pet care seamlessly into my schedule to meet your needs. When I care for pets in your home, I treat your space and your furry family members with the utmost respect. I always make sure that I leave a space just like I found it.

I also keep you updated regularly so you can have peace of mind.
About: Hi y’all! I’ve been working with animals for a few years now. I’ve done both dog and cat-sitting before, but I really love all animals. I am currently a zookeeper, so I have plenty of animal experience in general as well Because of work, I can really only focus on morning and evening routines for any sitting. My weekend is also Tuesday/Wednesday. I can do full time those days, as it is my weekend. I often care for my roommates cat when he goes out of town, so I spend plenty of time with his cat I’m big on understanding the animal, as well as enrichment. I’ve made a few items for my roommates cat to keep her busy and well stimulated. Also, just simply spending time with the animal can mean a lot to them
“Sherrie is fantastic. She took such great care of Winnie and my apartment while I was away. Lots of pics and updates. Had no troubles at all with her feeding or medicine schedule. I can’t recommend Sherrie enough, she’s awesome!”
“Jenn is amazing. We have a pack of pups, that all have their own special personalities and needs. She took care of them better than we could have ever hoped. This is our 2nd time booking with her, and we plan to book with her again. She is trustworthy, kind, and cares more than anyone I've ever met. Highly recommend.”
About: Needing a pet sitter? Well, you found her! I'm putting my self out there and offering services to the residents of Peaster/Poolville. I have worked 10+ years at a local animal emergency hospital. If your pet needs medications or is a diabetic, you might already know how hard it can be to find a boarding facility (without having to pay for medical boarding). My family and I have lived in Peaster for 13 years now and we love our community. Availability Schedule Monday through Friday, I work from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. I am available for lunchtime drop-in visits or walks around 12:00 PM or 1:00 PM, depending on location and scheduling. I am off the majority of weekends, so weekend availability may be more flexible. Please feel free to reach out to confirm availability for weekend visits or special requests. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is for animals to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. I take my time getting to know each pet’s personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and loves attention or shy and needs a gentle approach, I adjust my care to fit their needs. I also make sure their environment stays clean, safe, and stress-free by checking food and water, cleaning up after them, and keeping their space tidy. With my veterinary field experience, I am comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, giving medications, and watching for any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall health. I will always communicate with you and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pet is being well cared for while you are away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Annetta South
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Annetta South on Rover is $55.5 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 1,521 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Annetta South. 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 Annetta South 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 Annetta South 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 Annetta South 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.
