“Heather was brave enough to house sit our cane corso for us, knowing he was going to be scared of her and not likely to warm up to her. She was very patient with him. She said he did finally come take a treat from her but immediately ran away. This was probably the best experience we’ve had with him as he was able to go in and out on his, and he ate every meal after she would leave. We’re very grateful for her!”
“Sam was great! She provided daily photos, cleaned up for us upon our return and was well communicative. We felt better leaving for a long weekend away with her watching our babies. Thank you, Sam!!”
“Lori has been so easy to work with. She's been great with communication. Texted me every day and sent pictures of our dog. Cleaned up our dog's accidents. She stayed at our house and we returned to it so neat. She was punctual with coming for her meet-and-greet. Great experience. We would choose her again.”
“Patrick is an EXCELLENT fur baby sitter! He sent us so many great reports and photos while he was taking great care of Chanel and Raven! He was so patient with our nervous Nellie pup and by the time we returned home, they were best of friends. He was on time to start house and pet sitting and just delivered the BEST service overall!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and started pet sitting other people’s pets in high school. I’ve looked after all types of pets such as hermit crabs, rats, rabbits, cats, and dogs. Since then I’ve adopted two kitties of my own and I can’t wait to look after yours! I am happy to stop by for drop in visits before or after my shifts at work or on my days off, send me a message for more specific scheduling. I am very comfortable navigating your home to your needs. I am happy to follow any instruction given and will make sure your fur baby is happy and safely taken care of.
“Katie was a hit!!!! With Griffin and with us. Please come back soon!!! Thank you for being an eager player of dog games AND for leaving the house so clean. Five-plus stars for Katie.”
“Zoe was great with our Golden Retriever! She took such great care of our girl and gave her lots of attention. Zoe also helped her feel secure during the bad storms we got a week ago. I highly recommend Zoe to care for anyone looking for reliable pet sitter!”
“We appreciated Ben's care of our girls so much! This was our first booking with him and he was very thorough and thoughtful at the meet and greet. Ben communicated with us and sent pics throughout the weekend. We will book him to stay with our precious girls again.”
About: Ive taken care of dogs for friends, family, and neighbors for years. Ive been a pet owner for over 60 years. Grew up on a farm and had lots of animal duties. Have experience with small, medium and large dogs. Experience with giving meds. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to cats, so can't babysit your cat babies. I am retired and available most of the time days and evenings. I am on the West side of Indy and am available in the Plainfield, Avon, Mooresville and Brownsburg areas. I am familiar with crating. I can watch your babies in your home, stop for potty breaks, play time or walking. I have a fenced back yard and a shihtzu for a playmate. I am open to day care or coming to your home.
“As always. Zach was the best dog and house sitter! Goes above and beyond, sends lots of photos and videos, and makes sure our dog is getting lots of love and care while we’re away.”
“Kristle was amazing!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter to watch our Coco Bella! Kristle was loving and caring! She was so good to Coco! She took her out on walks, played with her, and made sure she was well taken care of. She sent us pictures everyday and was quick to respond! I am so happy we met Kristle and we will be in contact with her for future needs! I highly recommend her services! Thank you Kristle and family! Coco loved you guys!”
“This is my first time using Stephanie. She is kind, considerate and truly caring of your pet. She took great care of my diabetic and deaf Boston Terrier. I plan on using her again. I highly recommend her!”
“We have 2 dogs. 6 month old puppy and 4 year old. Susan helped train them. She walked them and had them outside playing every day. They were treated like royalty! She’s wonderful to communicate with. You can tell she is very experienced with dogs. We felt like we won the lottery.”
“Sara did an exceptional job taking care of our pups when we were away! She’s great at giving updates and making sure Leo and Benni had everything they needed! We will definitely use her to take care of them in the future!”
About: I’m currently in my "borrow all the dogs" era. With three busy kids and nonstop activities, owning a dog isn't in the cards right now, but loving on yours absolutely is! I've been around dogs my entire life and have always been a dog lover. Growing up, my family had three dogs, a cat and a pig, which gave me years of experience caring for and interacting with pets of different personalities and needs. As an adult, I rescued two dogs from a local animal shelter. They were my first babies. My oldest dog passed away 3 years ago. As a special education teacher with nearly 20 years of experience, I am patient, dependable, and attentive. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. I’m a teacher on summer break trying to earn some extra money while I have the availability. During the summer and throughout the week, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I have no pets of my own currently, so I am able to give lots of love to your pet. I have a fenced in backyard and enjoy being outside. I maintain routines, such as following their feeding schedule, walks/playtime and potty breaks. Providing in-home care in a client’s home I respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I’m happy to provide pictures, too. My goal is to help your pet feel secure, happy and well-cared for while in my care.
“Whitney was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I were in a bind after our Divine blessing came into our lives, who we named Belle. We rescued her from a busy street dodging traffic. We had a planned trip shortly after finding her, but she was not yet eligible for boarding. To say that we were FORTUNATE to find a caring, compassionate and responsible housesitter for Belle (at the last minute, no less) in Whitney would be an understatement! We can't thank her enough, but we'll try. THANK YOU, Whitney!”
About: I’m an experienced, reliable pet sitter who truly loves what I do. Dogs needing extra patience, special care, or close supervision are treated like part of the family. I’m a stay at home mom and animal lover who provides a safe loving home where your dog becomes part of the family while your away! Im knowledgeable in dog behavior and body language and occasionally foster dogs, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. I keep a small number of dogs at a time to ensure each one gets proper attention, supervision and low stress stay! In my experience, slow introductions create a safer, less stressful environment for dogs. I don’t do dog-to-dog introductions during meet & greets and instead introduce dogs gradually during their stay. Safety is my top priority, and dogs are supervised at all times. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and secure, while giving you peace of mind. With plenty of photo updates to prove it 😊

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avon
If you are looking for someone to trust to watch your pets in your home, Ben is an amazing option! We have taken advantage of his services several times now over the past couple of years. He has great communication, always sends us pictures of our happy pups, and leaves our house very clean! Highly recommend!
Alexis went above and beyond with Alan! Even though we did a meet and greet, he decided to be a cranky senior and had a little stranger danger when she first got to our house after we left. She sent us a message right away and handled the situation like a pro! Alan settled quickly and they were best friends for the rest of the time she stayed at our house. She sent pictures the whole time and was great at communicating with us. It was great knowing he was in such caring hands.
As always Lindsay is great with our dog. She has lots of patience & love for animals. She watched our daughter's dog along with Beau for a family Christmas outing. Pippa is very emotional but they did excellently together. Our Beau is getting on in years so we aren't traveling as he is in his senior years we don't like to leave him! I am glad Beau got to see Lindsay again for Christmas !
Amy is wonderful! She truly cares about my pets. I have cats and dogs and when we are away it's nice to know that someone like Amy is there with them. She sends updates with photos everyday. My pets love her and as long as she is willing I will be using her as my pet sitter :)
Alivia did an absolutely fabulous job staying in our home with our two rescue dogs (one being a very anxious, nervous girl when we travel). She was timely, positive and so professional! When we got home from our trip, we could tell the dogs were so well taken care of while we were gone. We will absolutely be using Alivia again!
Kaylee did a good job caring for our two pups. She was even willing to provide a bit more assistance to our old boy who had sustained a serious injury and had not fully recovered. She was even able to gain the trust of our skittish and cautious girl. We hope that their friendship will grow in the future when we need dog sitting again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Avon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Avon on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,504 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
