We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.

Ali is a delight! She took great care of my dog and my house while I was away. I could tell that my dog was very happy and had a great time on their daily walks. Ali is also able to handle special requests as my dog has some anxiety and needed some extra attention. She also was great at providing updates. Highly recommend Ali!

About: I'm an experienced sitter who loves taking care of dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I'm flexible and happy to work with pet parents on their pets' needs. I can play with your cat while you're away at work or vacation, take your dog on fun walks, stop by to feed them if you're out for an afternoon, and more. Just let me know what you need! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies :) The only times I'm unavailable are Sundays between 12pm-9pm, and some Saturdays between 10am-4pm. I offer care and company for pets in my clients' home, and am skilled in ensuring your pet feels comfortable with me. Safety is my #1 priority, so I'll follow whatever the specifics and guidelines of your home are.

Shannon was very sweet and my dogs took to her right away. She has a sincere love for dogs & came prepared w treats & toys incase we didn’t (since we were staying in a hotel). Her responses to my messages were very prompt and she kept up informed w pix & details of her time with our pups. This was the first time we used rover.com, so we were a bit nervous, but after this experience we will not hesitate to hire again. And… we fully recommend Shannon! ??

Abigail was amazing with our two big dogs, especially Buddy who is extremely anxious! She was kind, professional, and showed up exactly on time. Abigail treated my house with as much care as my dogs! She really helped me out last minute after another sitter canceled- she came over that day to do a meet and greet and was watching them less than 24 hours later! I will happily hire her again!

About: I have two wonderful cats (whom I would die for) and took charge of caring for our family dog. I am the kind of person that sees an animal in need and I drop absolutely everything for them. I love animals so intensely, I’m a vegan. I find I have the patience needed with animals to build trust and respect. I adore animals of every shape and size and have plenty of experience caring for them. I am working part time, so my schedule is very open! I am available Monday-Friday to check in on your pet, take them for a walk, feed and bathe them, and stay overnight with them. I very much believe in structure being important to a pets life, so I am more than willing to follow whatever routine you have with them. I will ensure that they are as safe as can be at all times.

Jean is WONDERFUL. She watched my dog Didi for 7 hours while I was at a wedding. I was anxious, because this was the first time I had left Didi with a pet sitter, and we were out of state on top of it (I'm from VA). Jean was sweet with Didi and it was clear she had extensive experience - she was able to guide Didi, who has a lot of energy, with calm confidence from the moment they met. She sent me pictures and updates the entire time. When I came home, despite being in a foreign place with a stranger, Didi was so at peace and happy. I HIGHLY recommend Jean for anyone who wants calm, loving, safe care for their pet.

Outstanding Care and Peace of Mind Due to health reasons, I had to find a new pet sitter very last minute after years with the same person, and I was extremely anxious—especially since our 10-year-old Labrador, Bleu, gets stressed when boarded and requires medications at very specific times for arthritis and seizures. From the Meet & Greet, I knew Dion was the right fit. She was reliable, professional, and an excellent communicator even before the booking began. Every day she sent updates and photos, which truly put my mind at ease. She followed all medication instructions perfectly and took wonderful care of Bleu. When we had to return home early due to an impending storm, Dion offered to get groceries for us and even to stay until we arrived in case our flight was delayed. She also checked in afterward and left our home spotless with fresh bedding ,folded laundry and more. Most importantly, Bleu loved her. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Dion and would trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ardmore

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Ardmore on Rover is $49.95 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 5,584 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ardmore. 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 Ardmore 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 Ardmore 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 Ardmore 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 Ardmore. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
