“Morgan watched our older dog and cat for a week. We came home to very happy pets, a clean house, and she even picked veggies from our garden. We got many cute pics during the week and communications were great. She managed medications perfectly. She is awesome!”
About: I love caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special routines or medications. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I recently moved to Connecticut with my boyfriend to start a new chapter in our lives. While we look for a new home, I have no work. I’m looking for pet-sitting opportunities. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! 🐾❤️ I’m currently staying somewhere temporarily while my boyfriend and I look for our own home, so I’m not able to have pets stay with me right now. However, I’m more than happy to come to your home and care for your pets there! I have a very flexible schedule and can stay for as long as your pets need, whether that’s a few hours, overnight, or multiple days. 🐾❤️

Some weekends if 2 week notice. Mornings afternoons and evenings work durning the week. Weekends when I’m available mainly evenings and nights I don’t have a fenced yard but I will keep them on leash at all times and be very close so they don’t take off
“Kaitlynn has taken great care of our greyhounds. She continues to be thorough and communicative. One of our dogs is leash reactive and Kaitlynn is able to manage this well. Highly recommend to others!”
“Sophia had great communication with me before, during and after her stay. My pup was THRILLED with her and I'm sure that's because she was given love and attention. My instructions for the home were followed perfectly and it was left in pristine condition. I would definitely book with Sophia again!”
“Palma was a pleasure to work with. She responds quickly to inquiries and is very prompt. She has a kind and sunny disposition and clearly loves animals. I felt so confident leaving our dog and home in her care. She sent us pics and updates which helped with our missing our pet. Everything in our home, and with our dog, was cared for with attention and detail. I would definitely use her again, and again!”

“Hannah was wonderful! She came for a meet and greet to meet our dogs in advance and then sent pictures and took great care of our pups while we were out of town. We have a rescue who is anxious and takes medication, and Hannah handled her needs patiently. We will definitely have Hannah come back!”
“Rachel was amazing !! She came out to our hotel to watch our cat so we could attend a walk thru and rehearsal dinner. She had to make two trips back and forth for this sitting. It was our first time leaving our cat with anyone . We have a deaf cat that gets into mischief and needs be watched constantly . She normal does not take to strangers so we left her in her cage. Not long after we left she was rubbing on the cage to be let out and walked over and wanted to be pet. Knowing that our girl was comfortable allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Rachel also so brought a string toy with her and even got her to play. We were shocked and happy to see her enjoying herself. It meant the world to us to know she was in good hands. Racheal updated us and sent pic's and videos throughout the entire stay. Thank you for allowing us to have peace of mind so we could enjoy our first time away from our girl. We both can't thank you enough !!”
“Jared was great, attentive and communicated well. Was glad to have someone caring for my dog while he was in cone head mode and had to stay behind on Thanksgiving! Would definitely re-book”
About: What sets me apart from other dog and cat sitters is my personalized approach and deep love for animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and safe. With a strong background in pet care and a genuine passion for animals, I provide reliable, attentive service that keeps both pets and owners at ease. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in expert hands while you’re away. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize offering flexible care, especially on weekends and holidays when many other sitters are unavailable. I understand that pets need attention and consistency, even during off hours. By providing services during these times, I ensure your pet receives reliable care when you need it most. Whether it’s a holiday getaway or a weekend trip, you can trust that your pet will be in safe, loving hands without interruption. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious environment with a fenced yard where pets can run, play, and explore freely. Your pet will enjoy plenty of exercise, fun, and one on one attention in a secure setting. Whether it's playtime outdoors or cozy relaxation indoors, I ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times.
About: I have over 2 years of dog sitting experience and currently work full time at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m experienced with feeding routines, exercise, and group play, and I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I work full time, five days a week, as an opener at The Mellow Mutt, with typical 6-hour shifts. My schedule can occasionally shift, so a bit of flexibility is helpful, but I do my best to keep things consistent for pet owners. I’m also a full-time online student at SNHU, which allows me to stay flexible and available for house sitting needs. I usually work Wednesday afternoons and most of the day Sunday, and my only consistent day off is Saturday, making me available for extended stays and attentive overnight care. While staying in your home, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their feeding, walking, and play schedules, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m very attentive to their behavior and comfort, so I can quickly adjust to their needs and help them feel safe while you’re away. I also keep your home clean and respected, and I’m happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is well cared for.
About: I decided to try letting a husky pull me on roller blades 27 years ago, and a bond was created that I am convinced was the greatest thing ever. I became an aspiring writer and began researching dogs, playing with them and loving them all the same. I understood that some people just had that dog thing, but I wanted to know why. Still working on my writing, and still researching, I started roller blading around Webster lake with a rescue puppy this past year. I remembered the incredible joys that a dog would have discovering the freedom, and it's really incredible. I don't claim to be a dog whisperer, but I have learned from studying dog behaviors and personalities. Honey has been incredible this season. Some dogs would rather just sniff, and it's arguably the most incredible of dog traits. Sometimes finding the space to run can be a challenge, but even just on a walk, it's all about giving them the chance to choose when you can. I have been an educator as a substitute and a paraprofessional, and enjoyed 20 years with a number of schools and institutions. Coaching tennis, track, and rock climbing, I love giving new experiences. As director for an adventure camp or as recreation games coordinator, I was able to incorporate a team into all the fun. Relying on the service industry for work, I have developed my communication skills in many fields. 3 years working for the May Institute with adults with severe disabilities gained me a humility not found elsewhere. In the Healthcare industry I found incredible individuals who just fit their calling, and you were better for being around them. The last 2 years I have traveled the state as a licensed pest technician solving homeowner problems, and keeping people safe. I enjoyed being a source of information, and health, and was careful to appreciate coming into someone's home and life. I'm currently planning on returning to school to attain my message therapy certification and utilize my background in health. It's a good plan with modification, and I am hopeful that Amazon flexibility will help. I'm the kind of person who starts with a smile, and believes that kindness is always an option. I understand that taking care of your animals and home is a sacred thing, and I will remain transparent and available. I'm currently working for Amazon, Sunday through Wednesday, and have Thursday, Friday, and Saturday completely free for services. Additionally I can be available for any other days with proper notice, due to Amazon's flexibility with their scheduling. Our yard is fenced in, and our two rescue dogs enjoy their space very much playing and running around. Our 16 year old cat enjoys being an inside/outside cat very much, and has adapted to our precocious new additions. Our back door is opened frequently.
About: I’ve been taking care of all different types of animals from lizards to ferrets to turtles and, of course cats and dogs since before I can remember! All of my life I’ve had and taken care of happy and healthy fur babies of my own that I treat with the utmost love, care, and attention so I’ll definitely treat your fur baby like my own as they should be treated. I’m currently a stay at home mom and I go to school online but outside of that I love taking care of my fur babies and other fur babies as well and have free time and availability to do so! My routine consists of starting the day at 7/8am and taking pup for walks, swimming, the dog park etc. and if you choose me for your pet sitter your baby (unless different needs must be met) will accompany us for a fun-filled day!🥰 I can do all day sits or overnight stays at your home. Or if you prefer me to do drop-ins to your home id be more than happy too! Whatever makes you and your precious fur baby happy.:) Note: I do have a 3.5 year old who usually accompanies me with my regular clients. If you choose me as your sitter this is good to note because I will only be able to be solo on some weekends. She has been around multiple different types of animals big and small since she was born. She is good with being gentle and knowing her boundaries but I recognize she’s still young so I can assure you constant supervision will be had for the safety of your fur baby and my baby. At my home, I also have a boxer who loves small dogs as well! They will be in great company. At your home, I will provide your pet and home with the utmost love and care. I will also be sure to provide you consistent updates to keep your mind at ease because I know how worrisome it could be leaving your fur babies behind and you want to be sure they are being taken care of. So I’ll be sure to show you just that!
“Julie was great! She was easy to communicate with and understood the needs of our two very different dogs. It was clear that they were well cared for while we were away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ballouville
Olivia kept my senior pitbull happy and content while I was gone. She maintained his regular schedule, including walks, to ensure his stress level stayed low. This is important due to some medical issues he has. She sent pictures and kept me updated on how he was doing. The house was clean and tidy when I returned. Olivia was wonderful.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ballouville is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $27 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 1,560 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ballouville. 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 Ballouville 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 Ballouville 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 Ballouville 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.
