“Love. Love. Love. Ashley was amazing from the very beginning. From the initial meet and greet I knew she was going to be ‘the one’. We have two German shepherds that can be a little weird with their eccentricities and she was wonderful with them. I was sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend which were appreciated. Overall I have NO hesitations with recommending her. She’s wonderful!”
“Tarah is very responsive. She sends updates and pictures. She notices any changes in our baby dog. She is always on time and let's us know of any changes. We know our girl is taken care of when Tarah is watching her and gives us a peace of mind knowing she is safe. 5 out of 5 for sure. Highly recommend!”
“Brandon is INCREDIBLE- what a gem! Took such great care of our sweet girls and genuinely loves all animals. He is so kind and communicative, and was a pleasure to host at our house. We have already booked him again and plan to use him regularly, our cats loved him!”
“This was my first time using a service outside of friends and family. I was BEYOND impressed with Kiera's communication before....getting to know my animals and during. I came home from being gone and my animals were happy and smiling ! I plan on hopefully booking her again soon but A++ !”
“Maura was a wonderful house/animal sitter. She gave us updates with pictures throughout our weeklong vacation & left our home in pristine condition. It’s always hard to leave your “babies” behind but having Maura there really gave us a sense of relief. We would highly recommend her and have already booked with her again!”
About: Hi. My name is Misty. I have had pets all my life. I have never met a dog, cat, chicken, etc I didn't like. I love animals. I am looking forward to meeting your pet and loving it like my own. I personally have a cat and two dogs so I know how important it is to take care of them and keep them safe. I want to provide peace of mind while your away at work or on vacation. To love and protect your pet and spoil it if allowed. I live in Eaton, Ohio and am willing to travel outside of town if need be. I hope this intro helps. If anything schedule your dates and we can meet. Hopefully I can help you with your pets. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Trustworthy! Retired Military! I currently work 7 to 3 full time. However I can get up early beforehand and drop by beforehand and after and in the evenings. Whatever you prefer! I have a fenced in yard. I can also crate your pet depending on what you prefer. I can also come to your home and do as you wish.
About: I love animals! I've taken care of all kinds of domestic pets for 15 years now. I've also worked for a small zoo and cared for cows, donkeys and Nigerian Dwarf Goats, as well as owls, hawks and an eagle. I have cared for exotic animals too! Ostriches, African tortoises, an African sand cat, African black-backed jackals and porcupines. I will give loving and attentive care to your pets. You can rest easy. I love animals and they love me! Pet care is all I do, so your pets will get personal immediate attention. I have been doing pet/house/farm sitting part-time for over 10 years. I'm now going into this full-time. Your pets will get my undivided attention! I have a reliable car and am easy to get ahold of anytime day or night. I do a meet and greet with you and your pets so we can get to know each other and I can make sure we are compatible and learn about your animals routine and any special needs so I can care for them safely and well. This first meeting is where we develop that initial trust and bond.
About: I have always cared for my friends animals when they are traveling and I also have had my cat Nola for 5 years. I’m also familiar with animals having anxiety and how to care for them by creating a routine that’s safe and fun. I have an open schedule currently so I’m open to flexibility during the day and some afternoons. I’m on break from my Masters program so my time is pretty open. I would make sure that any special needs your sweet baby needs is taken care of with extreme amount of love and care. I understand how important it is to be gentle especially when meeting new pets who might have anxiety.
“Absolutely amazing experience with Anna and Stephen. I can’t recommend them enough and how seamless the process was with Anna. She came to my apartment and asked questions, learned Stormy’s routine and genuinely cared about Stormy’s comfort and routine. I received multiple collages of pictures which put me at ease during my trip. I now have peace of mind knowing that for future trips, my pet will be in the best hands possible”
“Joy was amazing with our dog Enzo!!! He was well care and loved! We got tons of pictures while we were gone and I could tell by those that he was beyond comfortable with her. She made sure he got lots of cuddles and left our house in wonderful condition! We would have her back in a heartbeat!!!”
“Marin was the BEST!! We are very picky about our sweet Nelly. Marin not only took fantastic care of Nelly, but stayed at our house for the time we were gone. We 100% trust Marin and she did a fantastic job. We knew when we met her that she has that "trust factor". My husband, being a retired police officer is super picky about not only someone watching our sweet dog, but letting someone stay in our home. We had NO worries with Marin!!! She is awesome!!! We will be counting on her on all future trips we have.”
About: Hi there! Caring for animals has been second nature to me for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I’ve lovingly looked after both my own pets and others’ for years. I welcome detailed instructions and will always follow your preferences to ensure your fur baby feels safe, happy, and at ease. I have experience with all breeds and temperaments, and I specialize in senior pet care. My own pup is 14 years old, so I understand the extra love, patience, and attention they need. I also know that some pets need a little time to warm up to new people, and that’s completely okay. I’m respectful of their pace. Before any drop-ins or vacation care, I highly recommend scheduling a meet-and-greet or a walk so your pet can get to know me in a familiar environment. This helps build trust and ensures a smoother experience for everyone involved. You’ll never feel out of the loop! I love sending regular updates and plenty of cute photos, because I know how important it is to stay connected when you’re away from your best friend. I’m here to give your pet the same level of love and attention I’d want for mine. Looking forward to meeting you both soon! I have no schedule on the weekends but I try my best to be flexible through the weekdays. I am solely here to help you get the care your pet needs while your working or even away for vacation. Within my home, my dog is free range due to being house trained. Your instructions will never be too detailed for me! I will follow your instructions to the tea. Just let me know what all you need for me to do :)
“Tatum was the most respectful, loving, and caring sitter for my new puppy! She was very knowledgeable about dogs! She did everything I asked and followed directions clearly. Tatum also sent me a ton of pictures and text updates throughout her stay at my apartment. I am so happy I found her as my sitter!!! After I had a tough time with a different sitter in the past, she definitely made me feel comforted that my puppy was taken care of. Very professional care! I will be using her as much as possible!”
“This was the first time I used a pet sitter and was a little apprehensive. That disappeared when I met Jennifer and watched her interact with our pet that is a 75 lb Boxer, German Shepherd mix that is a little rambunctious. She gave me priceless peace of mind while we were away on our trip. She is very experienced, providing many photos and updates on how things were going. BTW she also has two cats to care for! To top it off she left our house in better condition than how she found it. I would highly recommend Jennifer for your house sitting needs.”

About: I have been taking care of pets for about 8 years now. Whether it be my own dog or my friends dogs, I provide high quality care to each pet I care for. In addition, I potty trained and crate trained my dog, as well as taught her all her fun tricks! I am in college and will be available to care for your pets throughout most of my days due to my classes being spaced out throughout the week. I place the utmost importance not only on pet care but also on respecting pet owners and their instructions. I aim to provide high quality care to each and every pet so that they are safe, healthy, comfortable and happy!
“Appreciated the pictures and the responsiveness to email. The only thing that keeps me from a 5 rating is that I was unable to actually meet Scott in person. Part of that may have been on me as the request was "last minute." Maybe next time we can meet in person.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brookville
Ashley stayed at our home for a full week with our two senior boys, Hagen and Hudson, and she was absolutely incredible. Senior dogs can come with a lot of quirks and routines, and Ashley handled everything with so much patience and care. Hagen is very hard to get to eat, and he actually ate consistently for her — which says everything. She was hands-down the most communicative sitter we’ve ever had. We received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs have some very specific habits and preferences, and Ashley never once made us feel high-maintenance for asking that things be done a certain way. She just got it and was happy to accommodate. We even had a fire alarm issue at the house while we were gone, and Ashley completely changed her plans to go over and handle it. That level of responsibility and care is rare. She is trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely kind with animals. We’ve already rebooked her and feel so lucky to have found her. Highly, highly recommend Ashley if you want someone who will treat your pets and home like her own.

The average cost of House Sitting in Brookville is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $41 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 Brookville 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 Brookville 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 Brookville 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.
