“Evren was wonderful with our 3 dogs! They warmed up to her right away, and she took amazing care of them while we were away. She even went above and beyond by caring for our 4 rats and leaving the house spotless. We felt completely confident knowing our pets were in great hands. We highly recommend Evren and will definitely call her again.”
“Sierra was great with our dogs, and they were very calm and content when we arrived back from our trip. She also helped out with a couple household things, that was greatly appreciated! She sent an update everyday as well.”
“Luckily our cats and dog still like us a bit more than Eva, though it's close! She did a great job taking care of them and it showed. Our kitty recently had spay surgery and Eva handled the meds just right. She even made us muffins!”
“Tamilyn is so wonderful! She was respectful of our home and very attentive to our Ruby. She went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable while we were away. We had great communication with picture updates. I highly recommend her to watch anyone's furbabies! We will definitely be requesting her again!”
About: I have experience with various different types of animals including cats, and dogs. I love how special and unique each animal is and I love to get to know them and getting to know their personalities. I am working full time and going to school I typically don't work mornings and a couple days during the week I am off and I can stop by and check on them throughout the week. I do anything and everything I can do to take the best care of them, and I always make their health top priority. And treat them like royalty and babies
“Molly was very communicative and great with all the pets!! We were so grateful to find someone who could watch them during Christmas as well. We trusted Molly totally and could tell the pets were so happy and were well cared for!”
“Very professional and polite and has as a wonderful way with dogs! Great communication on letting me know what was going on while we were away. Will definitely request Heidi again.”
“Xion was amazing! They went above and beyond in home sitting our dog over our Thanksgiving vacation. From near-daily text and photo updates, to even shoveling snow from our driveway and sidewalk, they really took care of everything and more. So grateful and would absolutely book again!”
About: As a dog owner myself, including caring for a reactive dog, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I have experience with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and temperaments, and I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s reinforcing routines, administering medications, providing extra attention to senior dogs, or keeping up with an energetic puppy, I treat every pet like my own while keeping owners updated and giving them peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. I enjoy staying active with dogs through walks, playtime, and enrichment activities, and I can easily adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s needs while keeping owners updated and informed. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine in the comfort of their own home. I follow feeding schedules, provide walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, treat every home with respect, and make sure pets receive the same level of care and love they would from their family.
“Austin watched our 3 dogs for 10 days and was great to give us daily reports and pictures. He walked them daily and stayed at our house where he gave them lots of love and attention. We have one escape artist but he was very careful and followed our instructions to keep Cosmo safe. We will certainly hire Austin again!”
About: Built trust with pets through patience, consistency, and positive interaction. Maintained safe, clean, and comfortable environments for animals at all times. Monitored pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or health and reported concerns promptly. On weekends, pet care is a regular and prioritized part of my routine. I plan my schedule to allow enough time for feeding, walking, cleaning, and quality interaction with the pets. I make sure they are fed on time, taken out for exercise, and given attention and play to keep them mentally stimulated. I also monitor their behavior and health, ensuring they are comfortable and safe throughout the day. My weekends are flexible, which allows me to be fully attentive to pets’ needs without rushing. I care for pets by following their established routines, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, cleanliness, and attention. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with owners.
About: Because of allergies in my own home, I don’t have pets of my own. This means that when I am with your dog or cat, they have my 100% undivided attention and affection. I’m not just a sitter; I’m someone who truly cherishes the time I get to spend with animals. I treat every walk and every visit as the 'pet fix' I don't get at home, giving your furry family member the extra belly rubs, long walks, and genuine companionship they deserve. I offer a consistent routine that fits perfectly into a busy work week, along with the flexibility needed for those long weekend getaways: • Weekdays: I am available for evening walks, feedings, and playtime to help your pet unwind after you’ve had a long day at the office. • Weekends (Friday – Sunday): I have full flexibility! Whether it’s an extra-long hike on a Saturday morning or full-day companionship while you're out of town, I’m available to ensure your pet never feels lonely. I believe the best way to keep a pet stress-free while you're away is to stick to their established "house rules." Whether it’s specific feeding times, a preferred walking route, or making sure they aren't allowed on the couch, I follow your instructions to the letter. I want your pet to feel like their day-to-day life hasn't skipped a beat. I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I am naturally detail-oriented and responsible, ensuring that: • Doors and gates are always double-checked and locked. • The living space is kept clean and exactly as you left it.
About: Thanks for choosing me to care for your pup! I look forward to having a fun stay with your fur baby :) I have cared for dogs my whole life and any dog that walks in is already considered family - I will treat your pet like my own! I provide a place for your dog to feel right at home where they will have someone to cater to all their needs full-time (I work from home). My rescued dog, Nugget, is very friendly with dogs and will keep them company at all times. He is also great at comforting anxious dogs. I look forward to meeting and learning more about you and your pup! **Please note:** - Overnight clients: Please pickup by 11am. If you must pick up later, a Daycare rate will apply for that day. - All dogs MUST be up to date with their vaccinations. The safety of the other animals is taken very seriously, therefore we cannot accept at-risk/sick dogs. - Please let me know of any special needs your dog may have. I am flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Please note overnight stays must check out by 11am the next day, otherwise another day will be added to the reservation. I work from home and am able to watch over your pup all day. I have a secured fenced backyard for them to play and potty in.
About: I have over 40 years of owning and training fur babies and had many types of pets while growing up on a farm. I have fostered dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, from as big as Mastiffs and Great Dane to as small as Chihuahua and miniature Frenchies. If I see your baby, I'm gonna need to love on them. I have rescued many animals and know how to administer insulin for your aging baby and bottle feed your itty bitty kitties. I understand animal behavior and how best to encourage enthusiastic positive behavior. I believe in positive reinforcement and rewarding, never punishing fur babies. There is always someone at my home, so your babies will never be left alone. It would be my honor to be trusted with your little ones. I work from home and try to arrange my schedule so your babies will never be alone while in my care. 🐶🐾🐶 We will have lots of fun together, and I like to research each specific breed to see what makes them the happiest.🛋️🌳 My yard is fenced with lots of trees and shade, made for playtime. If your baby likes water, and it's a hot day, I'll fill up a play pool.💧💧🌞🌞 My fence is not very tall. If your baby is an escape artist or runner, I am not the best fit 💔

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 483 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 , 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.
