“Mikayla took such great care of Athena and Enzo while we were away. It was obvious they were well loved and got plenty of playtime 😃. She sent lots of pictures and videos throughout our trip, which made being away from them so much easier. She was easy to communicate with, always kept us updated, and went above and beyond by feeding our fish and even checking on our butterflies. We came home to happy dogs and a home that was just as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’re so thankful we found Mikayla and will absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!”
“Becki did a great job caring for our two dogs. She is a great communicator and sent photos each day! She left our home cleaner than she found it. We plan to use Becki again!”
“She was very understanding of why I needed somebody to watch him and my dog really liked her watching over him. I've never left anybody in charge of him before and I would let her do it again without hesitation.”
About: I am a dog lover who loves to meet more pets! I have 2 Westies and we spend hours outside each day in the yard or walking at a park. I am here to help whether you are gone for just a few hours or for weeks at a time. I have no problem allowing the dogs to run free in our house, or stop by to check on your pet in your house. As a pet lover, I will care for your pet as I do mine, and they are spoiled! I am home almost all the time. I wander around our 3 acres and love to garden. I take my dogs for a walk almost daily. I am with the dogs almost all the time. If I have to go run an errand, I can crate them. They are allowed on the furniture with me.
“Lillie was an exceptional communicator before and during the stay with our dog. The house was picked up and in order when we returned home. Our dog was very comfortable with Lillie. Lillie assured us that all was well while we were gone. We will hire Lillie again!”
“Cindy was a great sitter for our pup. Cindy followed all directions provided, was attentive to our dog and had really good communication while sitting. Our home was left in great condition also. I would absolutely book with her 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.”
“Kevin did an excellent job watching Rocky and Annie! They seemed happy , not stressed on our arrival. He communicated well and sent updates. The pups gave him 4paws each.”
“Bethany was outstanding! On time, super friendly, and so great with communication, pictures and updates. My puppies loved her and we will definitely keep her in mind for next time!”
About: I have been a Pack Leader at The Indoor Dog Park and Daycare since March of this year, I am now looking for a more flexible way to work with animals. I am pursuing a Bachelor’s of Biology in hopes of working with animals someday. I have lots handling experience, as well as a deep understanding of animal behavior. Take a peek at my gallery to see some of my favorite pups!! Below are some skills I practiced at The Pack: -Supervised large play groups of 25+ dogs simultaneously, ensuring safe social interactions and preventing aggressive behaviors. -Monitored canine body language and group dynamics to intervene early and de-escalate potential scuffles or stress-related issues. -Implemented safety protocols and facility rules that maintained a 100% injury-free play environment across shifts. -Observed and recorded daily changes in animal appetite, behavior, and physical health, reporting concerns promptly to management and communicating daily report cards and behavioral updates to pet owners, building strong customer loyalty and trust. -Controlled intake and release procedures, verifying owner identification and vaccination records for every dog. -Maintained strict sanitation and hygiene standards by regularly disinfecting play yards, kennels, and shared equipment. My schedule is yet to be fully set, so just ask! Anytime might work! I currently am free for a good period of time most days. I am not currently offering pet sitting at my home as it is an apartment and I don’t like confining dogs to such a small, unknown space. In the future I am hoping to have a house in the country with a large yard for my animals!
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.
“Christina was responsive, polite, and left our house in perfect condition! She stayed with our dog for a couple nights and sent photos, took her on walks, and kept us updated throughout the weekend! We will definitely plan to have her stay here again.”
“Caroline was great and our dogs loved playing with Gator! We loved the daily check-ins with pictures showing our fur babies having a great time. She took excellent care of our two dogs and our home. The peace of mind she gave us helped us to enjoy our much needed time away. We will definitely use her services 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: Hi! I’m Jennifer, and I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their family is away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including giant breeds like English Mastiffs. I understand the unique needs of large dogs and am comfortable handling them with confidence, patience, and care. I also have experience providing compassionate care for senior dogs, including those who require a slower pace, extra attention, medication support, and plenty of comfort. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine. I know how important consistency is, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, maintain established routines, administer basic medications if needed, and make sure your pet receives plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and provide them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. My career is a hybrid position. I am rarely gone more than six hours at a time. If I know that I am going to have your furry, four legged baby, I can schedule accordingly so I can be home a little more. I have a very large yard. We live on 3 acres. Our fur babies passed in December and January, so we do not currently have any pets. I allow dogs on the furniture and in bed, but if that is not something that you do and you would like me not to do that I can respect that as well.
About: I’ve owned and have taken care of multiple animals throughout the years! From house animals to some animals. I love our furry friends! :) . I’m working a part-time job currently where I work every other weekend, I’ll be able to stop in throughout the day on the days I do and don’t work! I have 2 friendly dogs, 2 friendly cats, a rabbit and a rooster! I keep them all safe and healthy, and I have a great bond with them!

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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Caledonia is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $40 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 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 , 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.
