“Nicole was great with my dogs (and resident stray cat) and is clearly an animal person. They warmed up to her quickly and she was very attentive to their quirks and last-minute health needs as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and would gladly have her back to watch my pets the next time I need someone!”
“Jessica was lovely and had high attention to detail to care for our slightly HM weiner dog. She provided updates/photos twice a day which made us feel very at ease. You can tell she truly loved our dog like her own. She stayed at our house for the week & left it very clean and tidy. We would trust her to care of our dog again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for my entire life. From volunteering and working in humane societies and other shelter settings, to fostering and owning pets. I am comfortable with basic training and maintenance (cutting nails, brushing, administering meds, etc). I hope you are willing to trust me to care for your pet while you’re away! I currently work a full time job but have a flexible schedule and ability to work remotely. I am available after work and on weekends. I am happy to provide the type of care that you already do or are requesting for your pet. I am flexible and willing to accommodate the way that you are requesting care be given to your pet.
“Brittany was so great with our two pups! She did great at sending updates & communicating with us so we felt at east the whole time we were away! So thankful to have found someone to love on our dogs!”
“Alyssa was exceptional! We had a great meet and great with our dogs when she came to our home. She was always quick to respond to messages and sent us updates and pictures while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Fantastic house-sitting engagement with Dani! Our geriatric old boy and possible handful of a 4 year old were well cared for and had a great time socializing with Simba. Highly recommended!!!”
“Halle took such great of our dogs! She kept in touch with texts and photos multiple times a day. My husband and I felt so relaxed knowing our doggos were well taken care of. When we got home the dogs looked great and were so happy to see us; we knew we left them in good hands ( no cold shoulder).”
“James took wonderful care of my pets and my home as usual. He’s reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and kind. My pets love him so much, I can always travel with peace of mind.”
About: I grew up with a dog named Percy and over the past years I’ve grown to love pet sitting around my town and neighborhood! I personally dog sit for a few families and am looking to expand! I am home from school until February with an open calendar so I’m ready to help whenever! I am not currently employed outside of this so can make myself available whenever and for whatever your pet needs. I will pay attention to their needs, keep them company, take them on long walks, and just be with them so they have a friend!
About: I have had pets all of my life! I have cared for both cats and dogs! I had a dog walking business since the age of 10. During college I worked as a stable hand and love being around all of the animals! I do work at a school every week day until 2:30. I’m mostly free on weekends. I can send a more detailed schedule if you’re interested. I live with 3 other people so there’s usually someone home for most of the day. I have a 4 year old cat as well who does fine with dogs.
“Craig was wonderful with my dogs. He sent pictures and responded to emails. He also stayed at my home and brought in packages as requested. I would highly recommend him for your dog and house sitting needs!”
About: I have always had a dog since a was a small child. As I became an adult my own children and I got two dogs, Milo and Leo. I also volunteer at the APL and foster dogs and puppies often. On top of this, I have dogsit for family several times. Dogs ranging from Schnauzer to Siberian husky in size! Most importantly, my dogs both foster and owned are apart of our family and I would love to extend our family to your fur babies! I wake up and get let out, fed, and get some loving before work. I work as a teacher 7 to 4. Once home the dogs get let out and often get time to sit on the front porch and play before dinner. I have a fenced in yard at our home. At your home I will listen and follow to the details listed to keep your dog safe while at your home.
“Emma went above and beyond to take good care of my pets while we were away for a week. The house was clean and the dogs were happy. She sent plenty of photo updates too! I will for sure use her in the future as the need arises.”
“Chloe did an excellent job during my 9 days away. She provided lots of updates, adorable photos, and had excellent communication! She had no issues navigating my dog’s medication schedule or need for multiple walks a day. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting service!!”
About: Growing up on a dairy farm, I have always been comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets with special care needs. As a full time pet parent who is self employed and working from home, pet care fits naturally into my life. I am regularly available throughout the day to keep an eye on things, stick to feeding schedules, administer meds if needed, and make sure everyone gets plenty of attention My schedule and personal life is very flexible, I can easily cater care to whatever your pet needs—extra playtime, quiet companionship, strict routines, or just someone who understands that cats and dogs operate on their own mysterious timetables. Your pets get reliable, consistent care woven right into my everyday life. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my priority is always trust, safety, and respecting the space your pet already feels comfortable in. I follow your routines exactly—feeding, meds, walks, playtime, whatever makes your pet feel secure—so their day stays familiar and stress-free. I keep doors locked, double-check anything safety-related, and treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I move quietly, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet’s environment stays calm, clean, and consistent. My goal is simple: you come home to a safe house and a happy pet.
“Isabel was a wonderful sitter and took great care of our two cats and our dog. Our shyer cat was even comfortable enough to snuggle with her. It was evident she spent great quality time with our pets. She sent us updates and photos throughout her stay and we returned home to a clean and tidy place. I would highly recommend Isabel as a pet sitter.”
“Allyce did a fantastic job watching my dog and cat while my boyfriend and I were away for nearly a week. They loved her! They played and snuggled together which is just what they needed. She sent pictures everyday and gave updates along the way. Highly recommend.”
“Megan and Jeremiah were great. It was only one night, but they took great care of my foster dog, Zoey. They left my house prsotiem and even took out my garbage! They were both very friendly and kind.”
About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 5. I have also had neighbors, family, and friends rely on me with walking and taking care of all different types of dogs ranging from any age. This gave me lots of experience with dogs anywhere from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently working a part time job of only 4 hours shifts; this gives me lots of free time to play and take care of your dog! I am very flexible with your rules you follow with your dog. I have moved a lot with my dog and have been anywhere from a fenced in yard and letting a dog out on their own to having to be put on a leash at all times. Anything and everything works for me!

Dani took care of our dogs and cat in an excellent manner. Her personal attention and care for them was greatly appreciated. She took care of the house by running our iRobots and pulling in a Chewy delivery. We highly recommend her and will be having her do future bookings. Well done Dani!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Avon Center is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 November 2026, there are 968 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avon Center. 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 Center 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 Center 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 Center 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avon Center. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
