“Isaiah is wonderful to have!! Was very communicative while we gone. Gave great updates and sent pictures! Our Willow loved him! He took her for walks. He also put all the bedding, towels and rugs he used in the washing machine. Incredible! House was immaculate when we got home. Will definitely use him again!!”
“Tracy was a great!! My dogs absolutely loved her, they seemed absolutely calm and happy when we walked thru the door, which is the ultimate test! She was quick at responding and very professional efficient and friendly! I’ll be using her services again! Diane”
About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“I am very happy with her service. Our puppies were looks happy with her. She visited us couple times beforehand and checked with us if any information she needed to know to take care of our puppies. A She also took care of my beloved plants. I will recommend her to anyone. Thank you Rebecca for all the help!”
About: I have pet sat for my friends and family, varying from German Shepard, doodles, dachshund, and my own pugs. I think of my dogs like my own kids and I would treat yours like they were your children. Happy to pet sit and walk your dogs as I get my steps in! I currently work part time and have the capacity to check in on dogs and do overnight stays. I am happy to care for your dogs during work hours, excursions, or travel. I would walk the dogs depending on how much exercise they need and the weather. I would play with them and feed them and ensure they have plenty of water and get their potty breaks.
“Joe was amazing. We needed last minute help with our dog and had never used Rover before. Joe jumped right in and made us feel super comfortable. He communicated all along the way and spoiled our dog with long hikes and tons of snuggles. We will absolutely use Joe again!”
“Absolutely phenomenal, dog care, with extremely personalized service and very attentive to our very hyperactive dogs needs. If you’re looking for someone who is very trustworthy to look after your your pet, I could not recommend anyone more – she was absolutely fantastic. We received photos every day, and it was very clear all the time that our dog was first priority, and being treated very well.”
About: I’m a preschool teacher taking time off to return to school full-time, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on pet care. I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets and those with medical needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, eye drops, and saline injections when prescribed by a veterinarian. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and attentive. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I’m currently taking time off from teaching to return to school full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available throughout the summer and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine, whether that includes walks, meals, playtime, medications, or simply providing companionship while you’re away. As a preschool teacher, safety, patience, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines to ensure your pet receives the best possible care. I’m experienced administering oral medications, eye drops, and saline injections when prescribed by a veterinarian. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout my visits so you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Monica is amazing! She took such good care of our pups; specialized walks depending on energy levels, park play, spent time giving attention and love to them while being on top of all medicines or ointments. My dogs absolutely adore her and I will definitely book again and again with her! 🐶🩷🐶🩷”
“Mia was great. Not only did the pups love her but we did too. She provided constant updates and made us feel very comfortable knowing the dogs were being well taken care of. I will 100% be using Mia again!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our 2 toy poodles and we could not be happier. Calvin is THE BEST! He kept us updated with pictures throughout our weekend getaway and took the best care of our fur babies, and our condo! We’ll definitely have Calvin watch our puppies from now on and can’t thank him enough for everything. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!”
“She did a great job caring for my needy pup and keeping my house in order during an extended trip. It gave me peace of mind while I was gone, which I appreciate a lot.”
“As always, Myra provided generous and attentive care to our dog over a holiday weekend. Myra brings experience, good judgment and genuine affection to every dog-sitting engagement. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for others through nannying and customer service roles, so being dependable, attentive, and patient comes naturally to me. I have experience working at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist and have done pet sitting for a few years now. I truly love being around animals and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also enjoy staying active with walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of companionship and affection. I'm currently working part time so my schedule is very flexible at the moment. I'm hoping to mainly focus on building my pet sitting business. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
About: I have had a cocker spaniel poodle mix for 7 years and I regularly walk, feed, and take care of him. I have also had him since he was a puppy, so I have experience training him. I have walked dogs in the past and I am currently open to housesitting gigs. I regularly do overnight petsitting for my aunt’s small dog and a nearby couple’s dog and two cats. I work from home most of the day and leave the house for a few hours to teach at a local dance studio. I would love to care for your pet. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! I work from home most of the day and will be away a few hours at a time when I teach. Let me know of your pet needs a person with them for extended periods of time! I want to emulate the environment your pet is most comfortable in and used to! I am happy to follow the routine they are most accustomed to.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avon
Trinity is the best! She takes her job seriously, and Milo adored her! He’s normally hi anxiety when we are gone, yet he seemed quite calm and happy. Trinity took lots of photos and some videos too!….kept us up to date! Will def use her again! Thanks Trinity! Milo says “any time!” Diane and Jocelyn
Aida stayed at our home and cared for our dog and cat for 10 days while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She was incredibly responsible, reliable, and proactive throughout our trip. She sent updates and photos every day. When we returned home, everything was spotless, and it was clear that Aida had taken excellent care of both our pets and our home. In fact, our pets weren’t quite as excited to see us as they usually are when we get back from a trip. We take that as a great sign that they had been happy and receiving plenty of attention while we were away! We’d recommend Aida to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again for future trips.
Marcia came through for me on very short notice and I’m so glad I found her! She was very communicative, always sending photos of my pups and keeping me updated on their days! Marcia was also super helpful with other things around my house like checking the mail and feeding my fish. She spent so much time with them that I could see in the photos how their comfort levels grew each day! Would definitely book again!
Jessica is a wonderful pet sitter. I was very worried about leaving my old cats for a couple of days and Jessica was so kind and responsible that it eased my worries. She was able to give my cat three liquid medications and help him eat. The cats seemed happy and well cared for when we returned home. In addition, she was flexible with schedule changes and very responsive over text. I could not recommend her enough!
Ashley is absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home with Manchas for 15 days while we were on vacation, and she did an incredible job. She kept us updated every day with pictures and videos and always let us know how Manchas was doing and what they were up to. We truly appreciate everything she did and would 100% recommend her without hesitation. Thank you so much, Ashley—you’re awesome! Manchitas loves you just as much as we do 💕🐾
Lizzie is the absolute best! We have an old dog set in her ways who takes medications throughout the day and Lizzie is great with her. She gives us prompt feedback morning and night and sends cute pictures and videos. We are so grateful for the peace of mind while we’re away. Our pup loves her visits! 🐕
Mary Jane did a wonderful job taking care of our two Havanese pups. She was very good at communicating with us and keeping us updated during our trip. I really felt like she cared about our pups and was a great guest in our home. She even washed the sheets and towels and had the bed made before we got home. That was so nice of her! Anyway we will definitely hire Mary Jane again.
Ryan is incredible and we will definitely ask him to help Us out again. We needed cat sitting for a week as our outdoor baby is very affectionate and loves being around someone. We also needed someone to help with letting people in and out for daily household maintenance which Ryan was able to do. Timely, clean and kind, we highly recommend Ryan.

FAQs for House Sitting - Avon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 7,325 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avon. 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 Avon 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 Avon 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 Avon 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 Avon. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
