“TJ was great! He took care of my two babies with such love and attention. He was at my house when he said he would be and cuddled with my boys to make them feel safe. I would highly recommend TJ to watch your pets!”
“Shana was our first experience with Rover and it was great place to start. Shana communicated well leading up to the stay and even visited twice to get the lay of the land. During the stay, Shana haves updates, sent pics, and asked questions when necessary. When our usual sitter took over the second portion of our trip, they reported that the house was in good order. Thanks!!”
“Breanna was an excellent sitter while we were away for the weekend! She provided regular updates on our dog with some darling silly photos too. She came and met Wally before staying with him and was very receptive to instructions and keeping him on his schedule. She left the place clean and tidy before leaving. Will definitely book again!”
“Kasey was THE BEST. She is very easy going and is quick to pick up on any special needs or implement tasks with a calm, ‘I got this’ way. She is prompt and when I was late, she was very understanding. I have 2 seniors, and felt very comfortable with them in her care and her being in my home.”
“Sarah was fantastic and we highly recommend her to anyone! She did a great job caring for our fickle pugs. She kept us updated with pictures and messages about how the dogs were doing. We felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. Having Sarah stay with our pugs gave us peace of mind to enjoy our vacation.”
“Sophia is an awesome pet sitter! I have a very high energy, high drive working dog, and Sophia did a lovely job caring for her, keeping my dog happy, enriched, and safe. My dog also gets quite a robust regimen of supplements and medications, all which were administered with care. I highly recommend Sophia and will absolutely call her again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Jack was terrific with Imo; kept us updated and sent pics for the three days we were away. We returned home to a calm dog, excited to see us. Will definitely call on Jack again.”
“Brightynn was phenomenal. She took great care of our 2 dogs. She house sat our dogs and did a great job keeping them safe, happy and loved. She also kept the house neat and clean the way it was before we left. Brightynn was easy to communicate with via texted if i had any questions or concerns about the dogs and she would send some pics of our dogs on occasion. I would definitely hire her again for our dogs.”
“Leslie was fantastic! We felt so lucky to have found her to care for our pup (and our home!). She obviously was on top of the feedings, walkings, etc…but what we really valued was the love she gave our dog while we were away. We are always anxious to go away and leave our dog, but we’ll def. be a bit less anxious next time now that we’ve found Leslie!”
“Lexi watched my three pets, including an older special needs cat. Her communication was wonderful - great question, photos and updates, and just a cheerful confidence that helped me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. They and the house were in great shape when I returned and I could tell the cats and dog were well cared for. Thank you so much!”
“Grateful to Elisha for a long stretch watching our very sensitive Cavalier. When we arrived home, Millie seemed calm, healthy and well cared for. While we were away, Elisha shared picks of Millie and stayed on top of her daily routine. It takes the stress away when you have someone who is reliable and conscientious. Will definitely book Elisha again.”
“Allie was great! She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos of all my dogs. She truly went above and beyond in every sense to make sure my dogs were well cared for and was attentive to every little detail. I would absolutely recommend Allie to anyone. I really felt good that my dogs were in good hands all day.”
“Jasmine was awesome! She kept us updated on how our dogs were doing and sent great photos. She was professional and left my house as she found it. Definitely going to book her again!”
“Incredible! Communicative through the entire stay and my apartment is cleaner than i left it which is so Incredibly nice of her! I'm so pleased, and though this was a one-off/unlikely to need a dog sitter again type of vacation, I would without a doubt use Rose again if needed.”

I truly felt Leslie's love for my dogs. She was great with them, patient and kind especially because they are both elderly. She communicated well with messages and pictures. Very sweet! I was very satisfied with the whole experience and would definitely work with her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ardonia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ardonia on Rover is $72.15 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 731 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ardonia. 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 Ardonia 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 Ardonia 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 Ardonia 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 Ardonia. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
