“Brandon is an amazing dog sitter! He treated all of our dogs like his own and was super dependable. He came over and met the dogs prior to his first stay with them and got along great. He isn’t afraid of asking questions and is very kind. We will definitely be using him again.”
“Mattison was amazing! This was the first person we tried without a personal referral, and we couldn’t have been happier. She came before the requested dates to meet our dogs and understand their needs. With her being a Vet tech made us even more excited about using her. She will definitely be our first option for as long as she wants to sit for us.”
About: I’ve taken care of, for one, my own dog since I was young and besides from that my neighbors, friends, and family always rely on me when they’re out of town to take care of their pets:) I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs! I’m currently enrolled at the University Of Louisville, and have some in person and also online classes so when I’m available could differ but I’m pretty flexible and I could bring my laptop anywhere! I love pets like they’re my own, I have a deep spot in my heart for them all🥹 I can crate any size dog if need be (I know some worry about that). More than happy to take them out wherever whenever, play/walk with them, or bathe them:)!
“Ami is an absolutely FANTASTIC sitter. I wanted to gatekeep how incredible she is so she doesn't get too booked up :). She took such incredible care of my dog while I was out of town and gave me tons of updates. I felt like I never even left my little guy with how fabulous her communication was. She also took great care of my house which is huge for us given how much we travel. 10/10 will be using Ami again for many sits in the future!”
“Amber was amazing! This was the first time we left our 3 mini dachshunds with anyone other than a family member and it was a great experience. Amber made sure all of our pups were well cared for and she stayed with them 100% of the time. She is a great dog person and our pups took to her immediately! She sent pics of all the pups cuddling with her! We couldn’t have found a better pup sitter! Already scheduled her for our next vacation!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I’ve mastered the art of negotiating with high-energy working breeds, outsmarting stubborn puppies, and serving as a certified head-scratcher for gentle seniors who just want to nap in peace. With plenty of foster and rescue experience under my belt, I speak fluent dog body language, respect the sacred mid-afternoon nap, and strictly enforce the "Cheese Tax" (within dietary guidelines, of course). Whether your pup needs strict medication routines, structured outlets for their relentless zoomies, or just a professional belly-rub technician while you’re away, I guarantee they’ll be living their absolute best life—and sending you endless photo updates to prove it! As a teacher, my days run on a structured, predictable routine that pets thrive on! Before school, your pup gets an early morning walk and breakfast; after the last bell rings, my full attention is theirs for afternoon adventures, play, and cozy evening snuggles. Being organized, patient, and used to managing full classrooms means your pet will get seamless, attentive care, clear boundaries, and a reliable schedule every single day. Whether in my home or yours, your pet gets the royal treatment—and a temporary promotion to favorite family member! In my home, they’ll enjoy structured play, designated couch-snagging spots, and endless affection. In your home, I keep their exact routine intact, following feeding schedules to the letter, sticking to their favorite walking paths, and making sure the house stays neat. Either way, expect strict safety, zero missed meals, and enough goofy photo updates to fill your camera roll while you're away!

“Julia was great with my dog, who takes medicine twice a day and is a very moody eater. She sent nightly photos and updates and kept her on her medication schedule. I highly recommend!”
“Annie is the best! We didn't have to worry about Stevie at all while we were away because she took such great care of him. She kept us updated daily with pictures, videos, and stories. We think Stevie has found a new best friend ❤️”
“Jon was an absolute pleasure to work with. My vacation was so much more relaxing knowing that my dogs were in great hands. Jon house sat for me for several days and sent me a photo updates and text messages about my dogs periodically which were very nice to see. I will certainly be using Jon in the future as my dedicated to house/dog sitter! He met up with my dogs and I prior to our vacation and hit it off with them immediately, He was also able to provide daily medication and care for my 14-year-old dog.”
“Chelcie was great with our cat. She was super communicative with us during our trip and left our house cleaner than we left it. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Huge animal lover so I’ll take care of your animal like it’s my own. I have 3 cats and a German short haired pointer pup who loves to play so if you want to set up play dates or board your pup at my home I hope it likes to play 😁 because my pup loooooooves playing. I can do boarding and sitting at my home as long as your pup gets along with other doggies. I have a big home, big fenced in yard and tons of treats. I also do drop ins and walking so if you need me to come to your home to take care of your pup or kitty that’s totally fine! Taking care of animals is second nature to me. I’ve had animals my whole life. Can’t wait to meet yours!
“We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.”
“Vanessa was wondering. Oz was so well taken care of. When I came home he was so calm and the place looked great. She was great with communication and updates. Would definitely book her again.”

I grew up surrounded by pets especially dogs and was always the one helping walk, feed, bathe, and care for them.

I'm comfortable with: ✔️ Dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes ✔️ Senior pets or those with special medical needs ✔️ Puppies and high-energy pets ✔️ Flexible scheduling and last-minute bookings when available Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away!

I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and flexible with last-minute requests. Caring for dogs and cats isn’t just part of my routine, it shapes it.

Pets staying with me enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment. I provide regular updates so you feel connected and confident while you're away.
About: I have several years of pet care experience, watching animals of any kind and loving every minute of it! I have participated in training my own dog and have rescued and re homed several cats. I share experience in watching/walking dogs in training and those of senior age groups, I’m an animal lover at heart. I am a college student but am flexible at different times throughout the week depending on the times needed. My schedule is consistently open on weekends! I consider myself a responsible person when it comes to pet care. I am attentive, perceptive and understand every pet has a different personality.

About: I love the dog , They are very affectionate and family-oriented; I look after them with a lot of love, even though I don’t have any of my own at home. My daily routine is well-suited for pet care, as my job has a flexible schedule. And when I look after pets, my time is devoted entirely to them. I keep my pets inside the house and take them out to the garden to relieve themselves and play for a while; I also walk them around the neighborhood, and they have their own designated spaces inside the house where they can move about freely.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Audubon Park
Olivia was excellent! She keep care of our home, and more importantly took care of our three doggies. She updated us with pictures or/and videos, at a minimum of twice daily. The dogs were very happy and comfortable at home. My wife(Teri) and I plan on using her again in the near future. We highly recommend Olivia for house and dog sitting.
Jorie is very nice and communicative. She was able to accommodate my last minute booking and then a last minute reschedule. My two chihuahuas (who are a little anxious) warmed up to her quickly. She sent texts and photos while watching them which was very sweet. Tysm Jorie! 10/10 would recommend 👍🏻
Sarah took wonderful care of our cats and home while we were away. We had great peace of mind knowing we could count on her. She is an excellent communicator and photographer. We had some last minute house requests pop-up and she accommodated us. She went above and beyond for this stay. We will definitely enlist her services again.
I can't say enough good things about Misty! She stayed in my home with my three dogs, and it was clear from day one that she genuinely loved them. Three dogs is a lot to handle, but she made it look easy. She even had dance parties with them, which honestly might be the best thing we've ever heard from a sitter. The pups were happy, relaxed and well cared for the whole time. On top of that, I came home to a clean house, she even washed the guest bedroom sheets. It's rare to find someone who's that fun with the dogs and that respectful of your home. I trust her completely and will absolutely be booking her again. Highly recommend!
Ami is an absolutely FANTASTIC sitter. I wanted to gatekeep how incredible she is so she doesn't get too booked up :). She took such incredible care of my dog while I was out of town and gave me tons of updates. I felt like I never even left my little guy with how fabulous her communication was. She also took great care of my house which is huge for us given how much we travel. 10/10 will be using Ami again for many sits in the future!
Brandon took wonderful care of our animals and we would absolutely book him again! We had a few minor miscommunications around some of the notes, but it was all resolved extremely professionally and I never doubted for a moment that our animal's care and safety were his top priority!

The average cost of House Sitting in Audubon Park is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $107 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 743 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Audubon Park. 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 Audubon Park 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 Audubon Park 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 Audubon Park 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
