“Mikayla was absolutely amazing with our fur babies! She kept our high energy dog well played with, and was great understanding our grumpy cat. She was active with the pets and sent us great videos and pictures. She communicated with us immediately and left our house better than when she came. We greatly appreciated her and would rebook her in the future.”
“Lauren watched our reactive 55 lb dog, Rosie, for several nights, and honestly, it was the best I've ever felt leaving her with someone else. Lauren kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the stay, which gave us a ton of peace of mind. Rosie can be a handful at times, so the fact that everything went so smoothly says a lot about the care and attention Lauren gave her. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”
“Jessica was so great with our ladies. She was very good at keeping me posted on how everyone was doing with photos and updates! Our house was just as we left it when we arrived back home, and pets seem very happy! Thank you Jessica! We’ll definitely be working with you again.”
“With Julia, you never have to worry about your babies for a second while you’re away. Julia stayed in our home over two nights. She arrived on time and provided just the right amount of check-ins while we were away. We would use Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“Brooke did great with our dog. She even was able to stay extra days with him so we could extend our vacation a bit. We will definitely chose Brooke again for our house/dog sitting needs.”
About: With a flexible remote work schedule that lets me work from home every Monday and Friday, your pet will enjoy a perfect balance of companionship and structured care while you are out of town. I grew up with dogs, cats, and bunnies, and I currently have two adopted cats of my own, Ruby and Jasper. Having been professionally house sitting and dog walking since middle school, I am highly adaptable and am comfortable caring for nervous or reactive animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and pace. Your pet’s happiness, emotional comfort, and routine always come first, ensuring they feel completely safe, loved, and at ease while you are away. My hybrid work schedule offers the perfect balance of structure and dedicated companionship for your pet. I work from home every Monday and Friday, meaning your pup or cat will have a human buddy around for extra daytime love, quick potty breaks, and mid-day attention. On days I am away at the office, I maintain a highly reliable, consistent routine for morning, evening, and weekend care. Because my job is incredibly flexible, I easily adapt my daily calendar to mirror your pet's normal routine, ensuring they never miss a feeding, walk, or medication time while you are out of town. Growing up with dogs, cats, and bunnies taught me that a safe environment is the foundation of a happy pet. Today, I share my home with my two adopted cats, Ruby and Jasper, so I strictly maintain a pet-proofed, low-stress space. Having walked dogs and house sat since middle school, I am familiar with nervous or reactive animals. I know how to read subtle body language, manage triggers on walks, and give anxious pets the patient, gentle space they need to feel secure. Your pet's physical safety and emotional comfort always come first, and I provide regular text and photo updates so you can enjoy complete peace of mind.
“I cannot say enough great things about Danielle! She was so great with Izzo. We had flight cancelations, and she was able to stay with Izzo until the day we got back. She was extremely flexible, and so understanding! Danielle is very outgoing, and she put me at ease right away. You get nervous leaving your fir baby with someone else, but Izzo was immediately drawn to Danielle! Everyone should book her. Danielle is amazing!!”
“Michelle did a great job of watching over our two golden retrievers (age 4 months and 5 years) while we were on vacation. She followed our instructions perfectly and went above and beyond in caring for our pets and our home. Michelle is a great communicator and sent us updates on a regular basis. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter and would not hesitate to hire her again.”
“Michelle is wonderful with our 2 dogs. She sends frequent messages and some pictures to let us know how they are doing, which we appreciate. It gives us peace of mind while we are away from our babies.”
About: I have cared for dogs for the past 15 years ranging from my family's terrier mix to my own dog, to family and friends' dogs. Right now, I’m available all day, every day to help with pet care, including the weekends. If anything comes up in our schedules, I’m happy to coordinate to make sure your pet gets consistent care. I care for pets like my own—attentive, patient, and loving. From meds and meals to walks, runs, and companionship, I keep them safe, comfortable, and happy.
About: I’m passionate when it comes to working with animals and if there’s any special requests that need to be met, I’ll make sure they're taken care of. I've been around dogs and cats since childhood and know the importance of making sure they're cared for while family is away. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out. I’m accepting new clients now and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I work part time at my other job and always keep Rover active in my calendar. I don't travel out of town much so last minute bookings will work for me. Communication is key to creating a care schedule that works for you and your furry friend. I'm detail-oriented in all environments I'm in. This means your pets will always have an extra pair of eyes to keep them safe wherever they go. I build trust with my clients and their furry friends by being reliable, honest and accountable. Sending pictures or messaging any concerns I may have about your pet is one way I build this with my clients.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, kitties, and farm animals since I was 12 years old. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me for years to ensure their fur babies are well taken care of while they are away, whether it’s a weekend or a week. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m a reliable and attentive animal lover who understands that every pet has its own personality and needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort, making sure pets feel secure while you’re away. With a strong sense of responsibility and genuine care for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own—providing not just basic care, but companionship and trust you can count on. I work a full time job 3 days a week for 12.5 hour shifts. It is understandable if that deters animals owners away from choosing me. On the days off, the fur babies will get all the love I can give them! When I’m on a sitting job, I always stay at the clients home for the duration of the sitting job so their fur babies are in the comfort of their own home with no environment changes.
“Rebecca is amazing and so thorough asking questions to know exactly what your fur baby needs. I felt completely at ease while I was gone for the week, knowing she was so well cared for. My sweet girl got all the love, attention, play time and care that she needed. Rebecca also kept me updated throughout the week with pictures and texts to let me know just how much fun they were having and how well she was doing. Hands-down best experience and I absolutely will be using her again! Thank you, Rebecca for the awesome experience! Lula misses you already!!”
“Natalie took exceptional care of our very energetic lab while we were away for a week on vacation. Her communication was great, she took wonderful care of our home, and our dog loved her! Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I love all dogs very much! I have always had a dog my entire life and I think I always will! I am a very active person so I will play and walk as long as your dog desires! I used to nanny quite often in 2019 and 2020 but things got busy when I got pregnant again so I’m ready to jump back in and take care of your pets! I am available Monday-Thursday 9am-11am and some afternoons sometimes and some Saturdays sporadically. I know how to cuddle, play, run, and love your babies as much as you do! They will be very well loved and taken care of as I have 2 dogs and one kitty of my own and I have 3 kids who love animals! I am a SAHM and pick up my kiddos at different times so I’m on the road a bit which is perfect so I can come and help out your fur babies! I always keep a very close eye on your furry friends and will make sure they are safe at all times! I love to give animals love and attention that they need!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Caledonia
We had a great experience with Eden taking care of our two dogs. One of our dogs can take a little bit to warm up to strangers and she took the time to make sure she felt comfortable. Based on their behavior when we came home, it was obvious they had a great time with her, they acted only mildly happy to see us. That's usually a sign that they were well cared for. Would definitely recommend Eden!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Caledonia is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $40 per night.

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 Caledonia 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 Caledonia 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 Caledonia 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
