“Julie did a great job caring for our dogs! She sent lots of picture updates and was a quick communicator. Julie was able to be at our home with the dogs the majority of each day to keep them company. She gave them new toys and spent a lot of time with them playing outside!”
“We couldn’t recommend Debbie enough!!!! She was (miraculously) available fairly last minute for our trip and from the word go, she was top notch! Our home and puppy Philomena were so well cared for while we were away. Debbie sent us plenty (but not too many) of snapshots and occasional videos of Phil living her best life while we were away. Thank you Debbie for being Phil’s new friend and we can’t wait to have you back again!. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, ‘no notes’ as the saying goes. 🥰.”
“Joshua took great care of our 2 dogs in our home. He followed our directions and requests, spent a lot of time with them, and was great at keeping us updated and sending photos. We would use him again!”
“Patricia did a great job taking care of our pup! They had lots of long walks/hikes and lots of cuddles on the couch. We came back to a very clean house (sheets cleaned without us even asking) and a very happy and tired dog. Totally recommend Patricia!!”
About: I’m a very active person and I will return your pup to you worn out from their vacation! I have been taking care of dogs intermittently since I was 10-11, and I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’m comfortable with big dogs, and I’m not one to let a dog take advantage of me and my treat jar. I’m also very comfortable with little dogs! Lap dogs are always welcome in this home :) With the recent passing of my dog, I am ready to bring a furry friend back into my home while you're away. My job is very flexible, and I am able to work from home or drop in to let the pup out for potty breaks if needed. I love to go on long walks after work, and your pup will enjoy those with me. I love walking to Domino Park, and would love to let your pup run in the dog park if you're comfortable. Otherwise, we will make long loops around the neighborhood. My roommate and I live on the first floor of a beautiful, large apartment. My office/guest room includes a lovely twin bed that your pup can relax on while I work. I have experience with senior dogs as well, and the first floor apartment could be perfect for a pup with mobility issues. We both absolutely love dogs and someone will always be around to give snuggles!
About: I’ve been handling pets for many many years, have a lot of love to give, knowledge to share, and care to give to your pet, if you need someone reliable to handle your pet while your vacation, or away from home I’m your guy! I work full time, but in the weekends and I am on the weekends at any time and on weekdays I can be available after 7pm-8:30pm I have one small dog, and care for him day in and day out, making sure he always has toys, is entertained, and has a healthy feeding/bathroom schedule. Can provide the same loving care for You pet as well!
“Jessica was great! She was able to be here last minute when my original sitter had to cancel the morning of my trip. The animals were well taken care of and the house was clean!”
“Olivia was a great care taker for our dog and cat. She was easy to work with and a great communicator. While we were on vacation Olivia gave us the peace of mind knowing our home and animals were in great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years, mostly my own (now senior) dogs. I also had a dog who was special needs (partially blind and deaf), and unfortunately passed 3 years ago. I am always open to taking care of your pets! I’m normally the most free every day but Wednesday and do not mind spending the night with your pets! I cannot currently house pets in my own home, but I’m always free to stay at your home! I drive, so only staying for a few hours at a time is also okay. Since I have senior dogs, they often “forget” they went outside, so frequent potty breaks (including in the night) is a must. I also give my dogs medication, so if your pup needs oral medication, I am 100% okay with that.
About: I’m your go to for any animal care! I have experience with pet sitting during my childhood, I’ve always been the one to help neighbors and friends with pet sitting. I also have plenty of experience with farm animals and multiple pets due to my 10 years of 4-h. I work in the Village of Batavia from 7:30am to 4:30 pm, I’m generally free anytime after that and over the weekends. I have a dog and two cats, and live on my family’s farm with 19 goats and who knows how many chickens. I love volunteering at local shelters and spend a lot of my free time caring for animals, I’d love to care for your pet too!
About: I have had and taken care of animals for over 20 years. I love all animals and have experience with a wide range of animals. Small dogs, big dogs, cats, reptiles, aquatic animals, and rodents. All animals are cute and worthy of attention and love in my eyes! I currently work remote so your furry friends will get basically all of my time. Whatever, whenever, I got them! I stay up late and don’t sleep in late so there will be very little time that they won’t have my full attention. I have a good sized yard, not fenced in but I will always escort your pooch (or kitty) on a leash and let them wander and dilly dally as long as they want. My cat will keep your furry friend company as she loves to cuddle! I can also keep your pet and mine separate if that’s better suited for them, and can crate your animal if you have a routine.
“As usually, Emma was great with Delilah. We booked Emma a little last minute, and were so thankful she was able to stay with our pup for the weekend. Ample walks, constant attention, great communication and even great in the face of getting locked out of our house! We’d book Emma again in a heartbeat!”
About: I grew up doing 4H with all different types of animals. I also lived on a farm growing up. I have experience with breeding English Mastiffs and caring for rescue puppies and momma. I would love to add pet care into my daily work routine. I have a part tome job that is super flexible if needed so I can be available to work around your needs. I ensure there is a safe and clean environment for your loved ones to be around. I want to probide care for your pets as if they were my own. I have always had a passion for animals and caring for others.
About: I am a 24 year old college kid studying Disaster Management. I love animals and have been around them my whole life. Big dogs are my fave but who do not like cuddling with a lap dog?? I can walk your dog feed them. What ever you need with your dogs I can provide. I have one dog at home his name is Murphy!!! He is a 75 lb golden doodle, ball of fur. He loves other dogs and loves to play. Because of that your dog will never get bored even if I have to leave the house to go do something. I also love walking dogs! Since I could walk I have been walking dogs! I am working part time but I build my own schedule. I always take my dogs on walks every day. Or let them play in my large fenced in backyard I have a large fenced yard for the dogs to play in. There is never a need to worry when I am watching your dog.
About: As a dog owner myself, I truly understand how much your pup means to you, they’re family, not just a pet. I currently have an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy (Moomin) of my own, so I know firsthand the energy, playfulness, and training that goes into raising a happy, well-adjusted dog. Over the past year, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding, playtime, and all the little routines that keep a dog happy and healthy. I love taking dogs to the park for fresh air, playtime, and socializing with other pups, but I’m just as happy keeping them calm company at home if that’s what they prefer, I adapt to each dog’s personality and energy level. I’m attentive to every little cue, whether it’s excitement, anxiety, or just wanting a belly rub, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable the whole time. I also like to keep you updated with quick messages and photos throughout our time together, so you always know your pup is happy, safe, and having a great time. Pet care fits really well into my routine. I’m a full-time software engineer working a hybrid schedule with flexible hours (10 AM–3 PM). I’m typically out of the house on Mondays and Tuesdays, work from home the rest of the weekdays, and I’m completely off on weekends. My schedule is also flexible enough that I can adjust days if needed to match your pup’s needs. On the days I’m home, I have plenty of time for walks, play, and feeding, and I’m usually happy to have a dog keep me company while I work. I regularly cuddle and work alongside my own Golden Retriever puppy, so I’m used to balancing focused work with giving a dog attention, short breaks, and check-ins throughout the day. It means your pup won’t just be looked after, they’ll genuinely have company and companionship all day long. In my own home, I make sure dogs feel comfortable and settled right away, giving them a calm space to relax along with plenty of playtime and cuddles. Since I have my own Golden Retriever puppy, my home is already dog-friendly and set up for a happy, active pet. I take dogs for regular walks and trips to the park, letting them socialize with other dogs when they enjoy it, or keeping things calmer and quieter if that suits them better. I always adapt to each dog’s personality and energy level rather than sticking to one routine for every pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions the owner gives me, so the dog feels as little disruption as possible. I’m attentive to their comfort and cues throughout, and I send regular updates with messages and photos so owners always know how their pup is doing.
“Saige is the real deal!! She is very professional and accommodating. She gave our pup lots of love and snuggles and took great care of our high-maintenance girl. Luna can't wait to see Saige again!”
“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.”
About: I have over 6,000 hours in the veterinary field including general practice, emergency, and equine care. I am trained to care for pets of all ages. Animals are part of my everyday life, both at home and work. I enjoy starting and ending my day caring for pets, weather that’s morning walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles. Spending my time with animals is one of the best parts of my routine. Whether in my home or yours I provide structured, attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I’m experienced with administering medications, monitoring behavior or health changes, and creating a calm fear free environment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,456 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Butlerville. 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 Butlerville 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 Butlerville 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 Butlerville 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.
