“I would give Lori 10,000 stars if possible; she is absolutely THE BEST!! Our little Shih Tzu, Molly, took to her immediately, and that is unusual for Molly. While we were away, Lori checked in to let us know all was well so we could relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing Molly was in good hands. Lori is kind and gentle, and it is obvious she loves fur babies. We will definitely contact Lori again when we are in the North Canton area!!! Thank you again, Lori. You're wonderful!”
“We’re so thankful for Sherry! She took wonderful care of our Havanese, Theo, in our house for a 10 day trip we took. Theo has separation anxiety but loved Sherry! She sent pictures, walked him, made him his own toy and even gave him a bath! We thank her for the peace of mind we had while we were gone, and the great care she took of our pup. We will definitely book Sherry again!”
“Monica housesat my 2 dogs for a full week and did an amazing job!! She took care of them as if they were her own, was a great communicator, and followed all my instructions. She administered my dog's medication daily and made sure to highlight any differences she noticed over the week to make sure everything was as expected. She is so kind and thoughtful and it was so comforting getting pictures and videos of my dogs being happy and playful while I was away! My dogs love Monica and I am so grateful for her!”
“Sarah is a great dog sitter. She is great at communicating and sends fun videos of what your pet is up to. She helps keep the house in order and is very tidy. We really appreciate her help!”
“Thank you so much for staying with my girl while I was out of town! I couldn't be happier with how well my pup was cared for. She sent pictures regularly throughout the day and kept me informed of how my pup was doing. 100% would recommend to anyone for any critter.”
About: I am an experienced cane corso breeder and pet care specialist. I will treat your dog with love and care as if it were my own and your dog will love me in return I spend about 4 hours a day with my 3 cane corsos I live around their schedule. I spend a lot of time with them. I care for them as if they were a child. They have their own space and schedule. They have plenty of room fornstimulation and no chance at escaping.
About: I grew up always having dogs in the household, but currently do not have any. However, my wife and I have cats. Five to be precise, lol. We've also helped around 40 stray cats over the years get spayed, neutered, or rehomed. It's a sad, never ending battle, but always worth it! I also donate to local shelters and non-profits when I have the funds. Things I offer depending on which service: - Daily walks - Potty breaks, up to 1-5 times per day - Combing at least once per stay - Waste removal - Medication - Play time - Treats! I hope through Rover I am able to bond with your pup or kitty and build friendship & trust with your family.
“Sauddi took excellent care of our dogs and our home! She provided ample updates and even left a few toys for the dogs to enjoy after her stay with them. We would absolutely recommend her to others and will not hesitate to rebook with her in the future!”
About: Im a genuine dog lover! I have had dogs growing up and currently have a 1 year old rottweiler who is just the sweetest boy. I also have amazing doggy co-workers that range from the ages 2-13! So its only natural I love dogs more than humans. I can help with potty training, and if you are working on tricks I can continue that for you while gone to give your pet consistency. During the week I am available Mon-Fri after 330 pm and have open availability Sat-Sun. I am a very flexible person and can possibly work something out that would be best for your pet needs. I am a very trustworthy, responsible, and dependable. You will be able to take off and trust that your fur family will receive all the hugs kisses and belly rubs. I also welcome any questions and concerns and I am willing to provide as much communication and cute pictures to help you feel more comfortable!
“Kristen did a fantastic job with our two dogs while we were out of town for 5 days! She was very responsive to communication the entire time. We didn’t return to any accidents or messes we had to clean up which for us is a blessing as one of our dogs tends to have some potty issues when we are gone for an extended period. Usually our dogs are super excited to see us when we return- this time I think they were disappointed to see us and not to see Kristen!! Would definitely rebook ☺️”
About: I have been working in the veterinary field for six years now. I’ve been working with all kinds of animals. So I am willing to check in on anything from reptiles to dogs and cats! I currently work three days ( Thursday-Saturday). But I would still be able to drop in and checking on your pets! Can also make time to take them on a walk/ hike if need for the high energy doggies I currently live in an apartment so unfortunately I am unable to have other animals here. But I do have two very spoiled dogs of my own also have a leopard gecko of my own!!

About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 10 and have been responsible for taking her on walks, feeding her, bathing her, giving her water. I have also had friends and family rely on me to walk and feed their pets and they have always been grateful to me and told me that I am great with animals. I’m still in school currently so I will only be able to work part time, but my classes are online, so my schedule is pretty flexible to make it easy for me to take of your pups! I can feed, water, and bathe your dogs and I am able to take your dogs on walks when needed. If they need to be put in a crate I can do that as well if necessary
About: Northeast Ohio Native! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for many different types of pets. I understand that dogs need time outside, walks and plenty of attention to keep them happy and healthy. I also understand that cats have their own personalities they love their playtime, but they also appreciate their independence and quiet time. No matter their personality or routine, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll be right by their side, providing companionship and the care they deserve! All animal photos in my gallery are pets I have lived with or cared for within the past three years, except for Sasha the Giraffe I had the opportunity to feed while at the San Diego Zoo! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, comfortable and cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attention, walks and playtime. I treat every pet like they are part of my family and enjoy creating a consistent routine that helps them feel safe while their owners are away. I care for every pet by learning their individual needs, personality and routine before providing care. I prioritize trust and comfort by following owner instructions, maintaining a clean environment and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I want each pet to feel relaxed, secure and cared for while their family is away.
About: Throughout my years of pet sitting, I've had the opportunity to care for dogs of all kinds, including those who tend to get a little anxious. I've learned how to handle their needs with extra care and attention, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable during their stay. I'm experienced in administering medications on a strict schedule, so you can trust that your pet's health is my top priority. My goal is to make the entire process as smooth as possible for both you and your pet. Whether it's creating a soothing environment, sticking to medication routines, or just providing plenty of pets and love, I'm dedicated to making this a positive experience for everyone involved. I have a somewhat flexible schedule. Let me know how your preferences and we can collaborate to come up with a plan you would be comfortable with! I love dogs and I would treat them as if they were my own. I know that it can be nerve wrecking to leave your pet in the hands of someone else (especially someone you don't know). I would love to help alleviate any nerves by sending daily photos and updates.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Botzum
Samantha is absolutely AMAZING!!! Our 14 year old girl, Furby recently lost her two sisters so this was the first time she has been an only child and we didn’t want to leave her too long by herself. So thankfully we found Samantha. Samantha is so sweet and kind and Furby absolutely Loves her! Furby warmed up to Samantha immediately. Thank you for taking such good care of Furby for us, you helped put our mind at ease. And the pictures you sent while we were away made us so happy. Will continue to have you hangout with our Furby girl!!!
Kim took great care of our cats and our house as well! She dealt with a complicated feeding schedule and kept things running smoothly at the house. She provided updates every day and pictures at several points, which gave us confidence and assurance while we traveled. When we arrived home, the cats were relaxed, well fed and their demeanor was as if we never left. Thanks again to Kim and we would absolutely recommend her for taking care of your pets and keeping an eye on your home.
Brooke was great with our dog Calypso. She responded quickly, showed up on time for our meet and greet, & was open and friendly. She is obviously comfortable around dogs, and Callie could clearly sense that. . Brooke communicated clearly with me throughout the booking and sitting process.
Our pets absolutely adore Cassie! She is the absolute best with any animals she’s ever with! She excels in folllwoing instructions, taking cute pictures of the pets, and giving them the best cuddles! She’s been watching our pets for the last few years now, and we always know our house/pets will be in good order when she’s here. We will be using her plenty more times in the future, and are so thankful to have her!

The average cost of House Sitting in Botzum is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $69 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Botzum 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 Botzum 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Botzum 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.
