“He was an amazing sitter. Was very attentive to what my dogs needed and took great care of them. Will definitely continue to book future visits with him!”
“Kayla was great with my two cats on her overnight with them. This was their first pet sitter experience. Both of them seemed to warm up quickly and Cedric even greeted her at the door (normally they are pretty skittish with new people.) They boys require some extra care like twice daily pills and feeding support but she did great and asked questions to make sure she did everything correctly and got some cute photos of them. She communicated when she would be out and made sure the cats have everything they needed and followed care instructions well.”
“We really love Jessica and she takes good care of our fur babies! We have a 7 year old foxhound a 7 month old new lab/beagle mix puppy at our house and she took on both last week, and they just loved having her here! She always sends us updates and photos and I feel very at ease when we are out of town and she is here. Highly recommend.”
“Abby was so great with both of our dogs. She took several pictures of the dogs and sent it to us while we were away. At the end of her stay she even washed the guest room sheets and comforter so it was clean for our next guests. We will certainly be using her in the future!”
“Aaliyah watched my two cats while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond taking care of them & our home even though my boys put her in some tough & unexpected situations. There were late nights, early mornings, and lots of phone calls & texts messages. I'd definitely book her again if she'd accept me!”
“Amber was great. She took great care of my dogs and house. My Beagle does not like storms and she kept him calm during a little storm. This was my first time using Rover and she gave me a great first experience. I will be hiring her for future needs.”
“Yasmin was very diligent about sending pictures and updates about our cat while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our cat. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.”
“We were lucky enough to have Grace watch our dog and home over the Thanksgiving holiday. She is kind, attentive, and very caring with our silly hound! We loved all the pictures, video, and updates- she put us at ease so we could enjoy our trip. The house and our dog were in good hands! Highly recommend.”
About: I don’t have any pets of my own due to the financial commitment but I love furry friends!! I’ve taken care of friends, family, and neighbors’ pets for the past 10 years. I work a full-time weekday job, so pet care fits best into my evenings, early mornings, and weekends. I’m happy to build my schedule around your pet’s routine and will make sure they receive the attention, exercise, meals, medication, and companionship they’re used to. I’m dependable and communicative, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away. I treat every pet like an individual and take the time to learn their routines, personality, comfort level, and any special instructions before caring for them. In your home, I’ll respect your space and follow your directions carefully. Safety is always my priority, including secure doors and leashes, supervision, and keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment.
“Kennedy took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away for the weekend. We felt comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands and would definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs for over 15 years and currently have a very friendly golden retriever named Georges (after Georges Niang) who loves to play and a 10 month old kitty who I love more than anything. I’ve cared for puppies and for senior dogs with problems such as blindness and arthritis and diabetes. I’m able to give them any medication required. I am a student athlete here at The University of Montana playing basketball. I will care for cats, dogs or any other animals you might have. I’m able to give your dog all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended for long! Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own! I’m on the University of Montana Women’s basketball team and would love to work around my schedule to help out with your fur babies! In the Missoula areas! Growing up I have always had rescue animals in my home. I will take the same care if not better care of your animals because I know how hard it can be to trust someone to watch after your animals!
About: I currently don't have any pets of my own. In February 2025, my family and I sadly said goodbye to our beloved dog, Buddy, after 17 wonderful years together. I miss him deeply-our walks, cuddles, and the unconditional companionship he brought to my life every day. While Buddy will always hold a special place in my heart, Rover provides a meaningful opportunity for both pet owners and me. I can help families by providing dependable, loving care for their dogs, while also continuing to spend time with the animals I've loved my entire life. Caring for dogs fills a void left by losing Buddy and allows me to do something that brings me genuine joy. I've been caring for dogs since I was six years old. Having had dogs throughout my life and now into my mid-fifties, I understand how important it is to find someone who provides compassionate, loving, and trustworthy care. I know the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for when you're away. I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life, including dachshunds, beagles, german shepards and mixed breeds like Buddy - who was a basset / black lab. Every dog I've had has been treated as a cherished member of the family, receiving endless love, patience, and care - and I would treat your dog the very same way. You'll notice there aren't many photos of me with Buddy - I was usually the one behind the camera capturing all of his adventures and favorite moments. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, comfortable, and happy while in my care, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your fur baby. Thanks for your consideration and the opportunity. Have a wonderful day. Because I work from home full-time, I can fit pet care into my daily schedule. I enjoy taking breaks for walks, outdoor time, playtime, and cuddles, which allows me to give dogs attention throughout the day. My flexible weekday and weekend availability means your dog won't be left alone for long periods and will receive compassionate, attentive care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with easy access to sidewalks in quiet neighborhoods and nearby trails, providing plenty of opportunities for dogs to get exercise, explore, and enjoy time outdoors. Because I work from home full-time, I can provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Dogs in my care will always be supervised, walked on a leash, and given a calm, loving environment where they can feel secure and at home. Having cared for dogs my entire life, I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet with someone else, and I am committed to treating every dog as if they were my own—with patience, compassion, and attentive care.
About: Hello! My name is Tayler, I specialize in animal care, especially dogs! I ’ve worked about 4 years as a shift leader at Pet Supplies Plus seeing dogs daily and assisting with nail trims. I currently am employed at 4Paws Unleashed (Doggy Daycare) and really enjoy the time I spend with dogs everyday! I am interested in dog sitting through Rover because I value the one on one care that comes with my job already while trying to provide that to dogs that may not enjoy daycare or simply not want to leave their bed! Looking forward to working with you! I currently work part time Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at my doggy daycare job from 6am-2pm available after 4pm those days, completely free on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays! Working at a Doggy Daycare I’ve gained a lot of experience with different types for dogs from breeds to temperaments so you can trust me to make sure their medication gets taken on time and anything else that may comes with yours and your dogs needs!
“Sierra was amazing! Such great and fast communication which I really appreciate, sending us photos of the dogs, and left the house super clean and intact when she left. We would definitely book her again!”
“Our dogs are older and seemed very comfortable with Kirsten. She was willing to give medication and care to our dog with arthritis. Having her stay with our pups again soon. We appreciate her!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life; owning 2, dog sitting occasionally for other friends and families, and even fostering a couple dogs. In all instances, I have been responsible for walking, feeding, bathing, and of course playing. Being outside and being active are a few of my favorite things that can be so much more enjoyable with a furry companion! I currently have a very available schedule, especially during the day during the week! I can make just about any schedule work with proper flexibility! My spacious apartment has a couple fenced in dog parks and many nearby trails and neighborhoods. I am more than happy to take your pup on a walk, run, or just valuable play time!
About: I was involved in my school with JROTC, JMG, and Tennis. I love all types of animals big or small and I will also take care of any scaly and or slimy family members as well. I am currently working at Prairie Meadows Race Track and Casino as a security officer for the race horses. Animals are not pets they are Family members and my job and goal is to make sure every one of your family members is taken care of and I will treat them as if they are my own. I have two cats and two chinchills; Elly, Miso, Theseus, and Toronto. I hope you trust me to walk your dog, or dog and cat sit while you take a well deserved vacation. I can work any time any day before 1pm Saturday to Thursday and all day Friday! I currently work in Altoona for my full time job but depening on where you live my availability won't matter so feel free to reach out. If you (my future client) wants me to take your furry baby out for the day I can certainly do that! I drive a Kia Soul so I can comfortably fit 2-3 large dogs in my car and my current apartment complex has a large dog park the size of a tennis court and if there's a dog another resident or I bring in that isn't dog friendly we can put up a barrier so they can't see each other. Or if you would rather I bring your baby to your local park I will gladly do that as well.

About: Growing up on a farm means I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life, including but not limited to: dogs, cats, sheep, chickens, rabbits, and even donkeys. I’m currently employed part time and looking to turn my love for animals into a side hustle. Right now my schedule is fairly open, I’m employed part time mainly working mornings and some weekends, may change but I’m always willing to be flexible. I don’t have my own place yet so I cannot board, but I will come to your house and care for the pet in whatever way is required, and clean up after myself before leaving. My belief is you shouldn’t even notice I was there!

FAQs for House Sitting - Avon Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 560 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avon Lake. 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 Lake 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 Lake 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 Lake 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.
