“Tabitha was great with my two big puppies. They got lots of exercise and TLC, and she sent me lots of photos, which I absolutely love to get. The house was spotless when we got home — just really above-and-beyond service.”
“Penny was excellent with the full day care of our two dogs, one being blind. She sent numerous pics throughout the day . Carried our blind dog out to go and walk outside a bit, played with our GSD. We will definitely use her again, she is a professional and very caring.”
“Christina was able to dog sit for me at the last minute and I am forever grateful! I am picky about sitters and Christina was a complete pro, I would recommend her. Super communicative, respectful house guest, and most importantly she kept Titus very happy while we were away.”
About: We had a dog for 17 years that passed away earlier this year at the age of 19 (able to care for a senior dog). He was adopted from Southern Indiana Animal Rescue. My son was in 3rd grade when we adopted him so we taught him how to take care of a pet. *Large fenced in backyard *Someone is always home *Dog walking included *One or more dogs from same family only at one time *Your pet(s) is priority Available weekdays and weekends. There is always someone at home that can let the dogs out. Walks after I get home from work in neighborhood or park. No other pets in the house currently. Only one family's dog(s)s at a time, no need to worry about them getting along with other pets. Your pet will be my top priority.
“Ami is an absolutely FANTASTIC sitter. I wanted to gatekeep how incredible she is so she doesn't get too booked up :). She took such incredible care of my dog while I was out of town and gave me tons of updates. I felt like I never even left my little guy with how fabulous her communication was. She also took great care of my house which is huge for us given how much we travel. 10/10 will be using Ami again for many sits in the future!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and have years of hands-on experience caring for them through different stages of life. I’ve helped care for Golden Retrievers from birth, giving me experience with puppies as well as adult and senior dogs. I currently have a rescue dog, Lucy, whom I’ve worked with extensively to build trust, confidence, and good manners. We run together daily, and through consistent training she has learned commands including sit, stay, shake, and other everyday manners. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, active, and committed to making sure the dogs in my care feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m very active and love spending time outdoors. I typically start my day with a morning walk or run with my dog, and throughout the day I make plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I’m also happy to slow things down for dogs who prefer a more relaxed day with cuddles and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routine as closely as possible. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax, I’m happy to adjust my day around their individual needs. I care for every pet as if they were my own while respecting the routine and instructions their owner provides. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive regular potty breaks or walks, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m also mindful of keeping their environment clean and secure. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, especially when meeting someone new. I take the time to let them become comfortable with me at their own pace and will follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, training, or household routines. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kaitlyn was absolutely a saving grace staying at our home and taking care of our fur babies. She is so amazing with our young dogs, energetic, bratty, and crazy as they are. She is patient and our chiweenie (who does NOT like strangers) was napping in her lap within 2 days. (We were SHOOK) She sends pictures several times a day along with any funny moments or important updates. (Which put our minds at ease our entire trip). Our fur babies are our children and having someone who we now trust and is so amazing with them… it’s such a weight lifted. It’s a miracle to find someone like Kaitlyn. 11/10 recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of every kind of 4 legged babies all my life. Your baby will be spoiled in my care. I will always follow the owners care procedures and love your pet as my own. I have a privately fence for running and playing around and good neighborhood to walk and a some much needed exercise your fur baby will need. I currently work a full time job but I had plenty of time in the evenings and on the weekends to keep your pup and give him all the exercise and intention that he or she may need. I have a fenced in backyard, so your pup has plenty of room for exercise roaming. In a safe space. In a nice neighborhood for a good long walk.
About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was young. Looking forward to taking care of your fur babies as if they were mine I recently lost my pets and the apartment I live in doesn't allow pets so I look forward to loving your fur babies as if they were my own I'm pretty flexible at dealing with animals I used to have a Australian shepherd and a Shih Tzu Chihuahua mix and two cats so I'm used to taking care of a lot of babies
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and would be honored to care for your furry family members. Growing up, I was surrounded by both large and small dogs, as well as indoor and feral cats, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities, needs, and energy levels. My professional background is in senior care, where I coordinated care across West Louisville and served as an Activities Director in several local senior living communities. Those roles taught me the importance of patience, reliability, communication, and treating every individual with kindness and respect. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, a calm presence, or just someone dependable to keep their routine on track, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. My 2-year-old loves dogs, and caring for pets is a sweet way for our family to spend time with animals while providing them with a loving, comfortable home environment. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, but my kids and I are very active and love going on walks, spending time outdoors, and giving pets plenty of attention and playtime. In my home, your pet will be treated like part of the family with a safe, comfortable space to relax, regular potty breaks and walks, playtime, meals and medications given exactly as instructed, and lots of love and supervision. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and can accommodate crate-trained pets if needed. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet is comfortable in their familiar environment while providing reliable walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, litter box or potty cleanup, and any medication or special care they need. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Byrneville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 698 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Byrneville. 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 Byrneville 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 Byrneville 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 Byrneville 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Byrneville. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
