Justin took care of our poochers for a test night. Our one doggie takes a bit longer to warm up, and Justin was kind enough to do multiple meet and greets, and a test night. He's been patient, caring, and accommodating to get the furries comfortable. Couldn't recommend him enough!

Ann was wonderful with our dog. She was very responsive to messages, and updated us all day while she was watching him. She came by and met him a few days before, and was really understanding about him being skittish near new people. Would definitely recommend her, and hope to work with her again in the future! Thanks Ann!

Jennifer is wonderful. She was prompt and took such good care of my dog. I got updates from her on regular basis, this made me feel at ease that my dog is in good hands. He usually takes a while to warm up to new people. With Jennifer it was instant. I highly recommend trusting your pet with Jennifer .

About: I’ve raised dogs my entire life! I just moved away from my 3 dogs at home and I miss them so much. I also helped raise a 4PAWS dog throughout my last 2 years of college. This is my first time truly living without a dog and I would love the opportunity to help out! I am currently working part-time in my research lab during my gap year while applying to medical school. My schedule is extremely flexible on weekdays and weekends! I always make sure my dogs (and all dogs I watch) are on a leash, in a fenced yard, or have an invisible fence system in place. I additionally give so much love and affection past the basic services provided! I will love your pets like my own, ensuring they receive the best care.

About: I love dogs so much. I've always been willing to dog sit for friends, family, and neighbors. I have dog sat for many different kinds of dogs (including small, medium, and large dogs) since high school and I love every single dog I meet! I also have a pug puppy named Marshmallow! I currently work a full-time job (8am-4pm) so I'm generally free in the evenings and on the weekends to walk and play with your pet! I love dogs and I understand the importance of potty breaks, walks, and play time. I care about your dog’s safety during walks, play time, and potty breaks! I also understand the importance of giving medications to dogs when they need it. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it naturally fits into my routine. As a pet owner myself, I'm already planning my days around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure my own pets are happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule and love being active, so adding walks, drop-in visits, or spending time with pets throughout the day is something I look forward to. My goal is always to provide dependable care while helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved until their family gets home. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before each visit. Whether we're going for a walk, playing outside, or relaxing at home, I'll always keep your pet's safety in mind and make sure they're supervised and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I'll follow your instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and enrichment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed pet and feel confident that they were cared for as if they were part of my own family.

Our pup and kitty LOVE Kaelin!! We’ve had her pet sit for the past 2 Christmas breaks and she’s been wonderful. Our dog is very high maintenance (kidney issues, IBS, and he’s blind) and it’s such a relief knowing he’s well taken care of while we’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Brook. I started caring for dogs in my neighborhood when I was young, and I have had about 4 years professional experience walking with Rover and Wag. I have cared for and walked dogs as small as a chihuahua and big as Great Dane. I currently live in Parma Cleveland, and I am willing to drive up to ~20 minutes for your pup. I have my own little dog, Zoey and she is a rambunctious shitzu terrier. I understand how our dogs are our family and fur babies and need to be treated kindly and carefully, just as I would want someone else caring for my own fur baby. I can not wait to meet your pup! I work from home but often travel to family on weekends. I schedule my rover care around that and my work schedule. I’m usually pretty flexible with what stays I can accept! I always treat my clients pets with the same level of kindness and care that they as the owner would! Our fur-babies are our family and I wouldn’t treat them any other way.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have over 30 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with cats and have spent the last several years loving my own Aussiedoodle, Scout. We recently lost our cat, and I truly miss those kitty cuddles, so I’d be thrilled to spend time caring for yours. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply giving your pet companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m active, dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer. I’ll also send plenty of photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet check-ins. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, a long walk, or some extra love while you’re away, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your furry family member happy, exercised, and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, so I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I believe in earning both your trust and your pet’s trust through patience, consistency, and kindness. You’ll receive regular updates and photos during each visit, and I’ll always treat your home with the same respect I’d expect someone to show mine.

FAQs for House Sitting - Antioch

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,366 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Antioch. 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 Antioch 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 Antioch 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 Antioch 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 Antioch. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
