“I booked Lori on short notice and so glad I did. She was super attentive to my dog and cat, communicated well with me throughout my travel, and paid careful attention to making them comfortable with her. Already have her booked for my next trip!”
About: I have worked with dogs specifically for about 3 years and some months. I’ve done Boarding/Daycare as well as Bathing. (this is where most of my experience comes from) I’ve bathed, brushed, and even trimmed nails of dogs of all kinds and ages for 2-3 years. Even though my boarding and daycare experience is new, I did enjoy it very much and I follow instruction well as long as they are direct and clear. I have extreme patience when it comes to learning the behaviors of our pets, I know not all dogs or cats are the same and they all have their boundaries and different personalities that make them special to us and I respect that. I love cats of all breeds as well. Believe it or not as much as I have dealt with all breeds I personally LOVE the big breeds, I do not mind hair or drool! (of both cats and dogs) I also have 3 cats and a Husky who is soon to turn 4! I will admit I do not know everything again every animal is different but I am willing to learn and adapt to what you and your pets need or want. Anything to make them happy and comfortable will always be my main goal. If you have any questions or concerns plz do not hesitate to reach out!! I am working part time at a retail in fairlawn BUT I would be willing to change and adapt my schedule for the right person. Let’s talk about what you need and go from there! All of my animals have a routine in my home. My Husky will get water before his food (he won’t even touch his food before we go outside lol) after I take him out to our lil dog park (at my apt) I then give him his food , After that I go and give my cats their water and food and clean their litter boxes (and their room) Then after my husky finishes his food for exercise we go on an hour or so walk (if you have a husky you understand lol) I am very clean dependent , I do not like a messy environment I am constantly sweeping and cleaning my apt to try and keep it as clean as possible with four pets. I do crate my husky whenever I leave , we’ve been doing as such since he was a pup!
“She was absolutely fantastic. We were out of town for longer than we've been before, but we felt completely comfortable and knew our pets were happy and healthy.”
“Maria was outstanding. My cats were chill and happy when I arrived home. She even refilled my bird feeders. Much gratitude for her love and care of Bodhi and Bear. Will definitely use again and highly recommend 💜”
“A+++ a fantastic person who was so caring for my little guy. Catherine provided just the right amount of updates with photos and videos of his progress / status. She took him on walks and helped him with his training journey. She’s thorough upfront to know what’s needed and is comfortable asking questions throughout. She’s thorough upfront to make the process smooth. She really earned my trust during this stay and I’d love to have her support again in the future.”
“Took great care of my cat (Coco) and turtle (Myrtle). Even went to extra efforts to make sure Coco got her meds in a timely manner. I'll be hiring Nathan again in the near future!”
“Sherry did an amazing job taking care of my beagle Scout while I was out of town for a few days. Scout is not always an easy dog to care for due to his separation anxiety and I felt very comfortable with Sherry being with him. She sent text and photo updates and took Scout out for activities such as the dog park to help him use all that energy he has. I would use Sherry again on the future for sure!”
“Sauddi was absolutely amazing! It took no time at all for my 2 dogs to warm up to her. She is loving, kind and knows how to provide an exciting time for the dogs. She provided pictures and updates daily. She took excellent care of the house. We will certainly use her again. Highly recommend Sauddi.”
“Audrey was so great. Super punctual and we could just tell that our pup loved her right off the bat. She spent the day with our dog while we were out for an event and there were no issues at all. Would absolutely book with Audrey again.”
About: I have always grown up with dogs and cats. The last 20 years I have always had an Italian mastiff by my side, and I discovered my love of animals at a very young age. I understand the importance of patience, and an eye to detail when it comes to caring for other peoples animals, and I make sure whether I animal sit for a friend/coworker/stranger how important it is that the animals receive the best care as if they were my own. I currently work in dental care 4 days a week full time, and in my other 3 days of free time I would love to spend it helping someone care for their animals (or during my work week). I have a very easy going schedule and would love to fill up more of my free time with pets. I care for my own two cats currently I love making sure I have a set list of all the expectations needed to care for an animal that is not mine. Nothing is more important to me than making sure the owners mind is at ease while away, not interrupting the animals daily routine, and making sure they are cared for in the best way possible.
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!
“Charity was fantastic! From the initial meeting, she came prepared with all questions I hadn’t even thought of! She provided daily updates while watching our girl with pictures. Additionally, she helped maintain our house while away and even cleaned the sheets after herself. You can’t find a better dog/house sitter!”
“Absolutely amazing to work with! She took care of my dog and family’s dogs for my wedding weekend and it was so nice and reassuring to know they were all well taken care of! Will absolutely be using Christiana again.”
“It’s always daunting having to find someone take care of your fur babies. I was so happy to have had Lilly be so helpful in keeping our girls safe, loved and well taken care of while we were away. Will definitely be using her to help us out again. Thanks Lilly! ??”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Botzum is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $60 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 1,338 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Botzum. 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 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.
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 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 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 Botzum. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
