“Evelyn was great with my pets and they enjoyed her. I got lots of cute pictures and updates. She worked great with my schedule that was based on how quickly I was driving through not good weather and we got back almost 12hrs later than intended. I came home to my house cleaner than I left it too which was a great surprise after driving 1800 miles in under 48 hours. She even watched a couple of my clients pets that had last minute bookings!”
About: I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience with dogs, cats, and birds, plus two years working at an animal shelter where I bathed, walked, and cared for dogs of all temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to shy or senior pets and always tailor my care to each animal’s needs. I offer walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. As a pet parent to my cats, Beans and Rufus (and having grown up with my dogs, Wrigley and Gigi), I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets—I treat them like my own! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for morning and late afternoon walks, check-ins, and playtime. I’m also very open on weekends and happy to work around your pet’s routine! . Your pet’s comfort, safety, and daily routine are my #1 priority. I provide calm, attentive care in their home, following feeding, walking, and play schedules as directed. I’m also comfortable with basic medication administration and always send updates and photos so you stay connected while you’re away.
“Highly Recommend! Mica is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while caring for our dogs. Not only did she walk them regularly, but she also spent time playing, snuggling, and giving them all the love and attention they needed. We could tell they were so happy and comfortable with her! What really blew us away was the extra personal touch—Mica knitted each of them their own little handkerchief. Seriously, who does that?! It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after, and we felt 100% at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and thoughtful, Mica is your person. We can’t recommend her enough! Josh”
“Nicole did an excellent job taking care of our dogs. She kept us updated with message, picture's and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. The best feedback we can give is that our dogs absolutely loved her and felt very comfortable with her. We would definitely trust her again!”
“Holli & Susan made us feel comfortable leaving our dogs and house with them while we took a vacation, and we normally have so much anxiety leaving our dogs! They were very responsive, communicative, and provided plenty of updates. Our house looked great too. They must be the best Rovers in the Indy area!”
“Ellery was very reliable and trustworthy! This was my first time leaving my new rescue dog so he needed a lot of TLC and reassurance that he wasn't being abandoned again, and she did great with this! Highly recommend!”
“Jordan was great! She gave us frequent updates and photos of our dog and cat while we were away. She was also a very kind guest in our home. We will definitely be reaching out to her any other time our animals need care!”
“I have been a pet owner for 13 years and never had a need to leave an animal with someone outside my family/friend group, so I was a nervous wreck as i went into the process of finding a house/pet sitter for my cat. I had originally planned to meet and talk with several sitters to find the right one, but Meaghan was great right off the bat and I just got a vibe that she was the right fit. She kept me updated along the way, left my home spotless, and even took on extra tasks like plant care. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have had cats and dogs since the day I was born and I have never had an empty house since. I currently own two cats and a dog myself and it gives me such joy being able to take care of others people's pets. I have watched over friends and families dogs and cats since I can remember and I have never had a bad experience! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize creating a balance that allows me to provide attentive and loving care. My schedule is flexible, enabling me to accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special needs a pet may have. I take pride in being organized and ensuring that each pet gets the time and attention they deserve, whether it’s daily check-ins or extended stays. Caring for animals isn’t just a task—it’s a fulfilling part of my life that I genuinely enjoy. I will not be allowed to bring animals into my home sadly. I am more than able to come to you or pick up your dog and hang out with them for the day!
About: Hello! I’ve been dog sitting for 6 years now. I also trained my dog and assisted with others for 9 years through Tipton Co 4-h. I love to watch dogs play and take them to the park if they’re allowed. They bring joy to my heart. I’m currently unemployed due to a temporary disability. I need at least 4 hours a day to leave the home for appointments and ensuring my grandmother is getting along alright each day. We have no animals so I look forward to each pet that I sit. I do pet care in the clients home. I’m willing to walk your pets each day, and I love to play with all animals. I am able to brush pets if needed as well as brush teeth and syringe feed.
“My wife and I had a family vacation for 5 days and it was our first time leaving our new home and pets, so naturally we were a little nervous! However, Rachel made it so we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away. This was such a great experience and we highly recommend Rachel. She is very kind, respectful, and reliable! We love now feeling like we have someone we can trust when we need help with the pets and we are so grateful!!!! 10 stars!”
“Danielle did a great job watching our dog and two cats! She seems to really enjoy bonding with the animals. She was very communicative (which I like) and checked in with any questions throughout the week. She left the house clean and orderly. I would definitely use her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boxley
Hailee is an amazing dog sitter and dog walker! She always updates me and is so sweet with all my animals! I left for a weekend trip and she house sat. During her stay, she took the boys on walks everyday to trails and around the community, took them for pup cups and to the pet store to look around! My dogs were getting their own playtime vacation while I was away! I am very lucky to have found someone as great as her to watch my pups! 🩷

FAQs for House Sitting - Boxley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,464 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boxley. 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 Boxley 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 Boxley 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 Boxley 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
