“Samara was amazing with Maple! Very friendly, attentive, responsible and loving to her. Kept me up-to-date while at work and took very good care of Maple. You can count on Samara to take good care of your pup/dog.”
“Aaliyah is the best and very easy to get along with! She stayed the night with my pup for two nights. She was extremely responsive and sent me regular pictures + updates. She was SO flexible with me pushing the dog sitting back one day and then later asking to extend it another day. She spent a ton of time at the house with Bowie and was intentional about giving him enrichment and playtime. She left the key exactly where I asked her to and locked all of my doors. She was respectful of our home and left it exactly how it was before she got here. She is my new go to pet sitter!”
“Lillyana is wonderful! My babies love her and she is always willing and able to help out last minute, which is so appreciated!! I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is a repeat sitter for me!”
“Emily is great! She's pet sat in my home on multiple occasions now. She is familiar with all my pets and their sometimes quirky behaviors. She takes great care of them and takes great care of my home. She communicates frequently throughout her stay and sends pictures and videos often. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Krislyn did an absolutely wonderful job of taking care of our dog Atticus . She sent me regular updates and pictures throughout the days she was here ,and was extremely attentive and loving to our sweet boy and followed his daily routine beautifully. I think the nicest thing was that through her daily updates it was very obvious how much she liked Atticus and how much fun they were having together .❤️ We returned home today to a very happy dog and an immaculate house ! ❤️”
“Katie was open to a last minute , short term booking to fill gap with another sitter and was even willing to stay late incase my flight was delayed! My pup is a rescue - very anxious, unpredictably reactive and needs constant attention but she handled him like a pro! He was so relaxed and calm when I got back. Thank you Katie!!”
“Nicole was fantastic. It gave me such peace of mind to know she was loving on my dog while I was out of town. Nicole is very easy to work with and left my dog and home in great shape. Would love to have her again!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have always been the person who wants to love on every critter I meet! I have several sweet fur babies of my own and have cared for all kinds of animals over the years from dogs and cats to horses, birds, lizards, rats, and pretty much anything else you can name. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster 3 medical puppies through LCHS, along with 1 non-medical foster dog. Fostering has given me even more experience with animals who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I am also familiar and comfortable with administering medicine to cats and dogs from pills to injections and creams. I genuinely love animals and really enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and quirks. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, so I take their care very seriously. When your pets are with me, they’ll be treated just like my own with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they’re into that, of course!). I work a full time job M-F but am able to do lunchtime potty breaks. If you are interested in booking over weekdays it would be best that your fur baby can be alone for 4 hour increments. If your pet is people/pet friendly and you approve I am able to bring dogs to my office space. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like my own and take the responsibility of caring for them very seriously. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely, and make sure they’re happy, safe, and comfortable. I want you to feel completely at ease while you are gone and pride myself on sending often updates and photos of your fur babies.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about six years and have experience working at a kennel and a vet clinic. I have my own dog, Lola, who I’ve had since 2020. I’m a student so my availability is limited but I’d love to try to work something out! My schedule varies as I’m a student but I can be flexible! If you contact me and send the details of your needs, I can work from there! I play with my dog a few times a day at least—she’s very energetic and fetch is her absolute favorite thing. I also cuddle with her and give her lots of love, and I carry this mentality with every pet I come across!
“Seanna took wonderful care of our home and pets while we were away for nine days. She even ended up staying over an extra day last minute when we didn’t make our flight connection coming home. Seanna dealt with unexpected issues, including unexpected cleanup on one of our dogs had to run in with a rodent in our backyard! She also communicated well and sent us cute photos of We appreciate all of her care for our pets.”
About: Hey there I’m a stay at home mom who is also lifelong animal lover and pet owner who understands what it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have my own cat and dog at home, so I know firsthand how much routine, patience, and attention to individual personality matters — no two pets are the same. I have particular experience with senior pets and animals with anxiety — knowing how to move slowly, read body language, and create a calm, predictable environment so they feel secure rather than stressed. I’ve cared for dogs and cats through walking, sitting, and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet in my care exactly how I’d want mine treated. Whether your pet needs gentle exercise, quiet companionship, feeding, playtime, or just a calm and patient presence, I’m committed to making them feel safe and loved. Along with that I have also cared for a variety of pets, including spiders and other small animals.

Because I’m home most of the day, I can accommodate a variety of schedules and give pets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Safety, trust, and respect are my top priorities when caring for pets in their own homes. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I strive to maintain their normal routines.
“Lisa was fantastic. This was a very last minute reservation and she came through like a champ. She want photos and updates. We felt completely as ease leaving our guy with her. Would definitely recommend and we would use Lisa again.”
About: I've been around pets my whole life and had responsibilities to care for family pets. I also have been trusted to care for others' pets since I was 13. I can walk, feed, and give love to all pets. I work from home and have flexibility in my day to care for your animals.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life, from small breeds (Boston Terrier) to big dogs (Great Pyrenees) and have always loved caring for them. I also have years of experience fostering dogs (Golden Retrievers), which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable to each dog’s unique personality and needs. As an FSU grad student, I’d love the opportunity to spend my free time giving dogs the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Growing up, I fostered Golden Retrievers, which taught me a lot about caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve also had two different Great Pyrenees, so I’m very comfortable caring for large dogs and understand the importance of consistent exercise, feeding, grooming, and attention. On top of that, I’ve dog-sat for several friends’ dogs, giving me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and routines. Overall, I really enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Growing up fostering Golden Retrievers gave me experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve also had two Great Pyrenees, so I’m comfortable with large dogs and understand the importance of proper feeding, exercise, grooming, and attention. I’ve also dog-sat for several friends, which has given me experience adapting to different dogs, routines, and household environments. In a client’s home, I would follow their specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and other daily routines. I also make sure to give pets plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and communicate with the owner about how their pet is doing. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.
About: Your dog’s new best adventure awaits 🐾✨ I believe every pet deserves more than someone simply stopping by to fill their bowl. I want your pup to feel safe, loved, entertained, and cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give every pet. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, favorite activities, and individual needs so I can make their time with me feel comfortable and fun. 🐶 Puppy care: I’m happy to provide patience, potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and help maintaining your puppy’s routine. 🐾 Senior care: I’m comfortable giving extra patience and attention to older pets who may need a slower pace, more frequent potty breaks, or additional care. 💊 Medication: I’m comfortable following detailed medication instructions and keeping your pet on their normal schedule. 🎾 High-energy pups: Walks, playtime, outdoor time, and plenty of attention to help them burn off that extra energy! 💗 Shy or nervous pets: I never force interaction. I let them warm up to me at their own pace and focus on making them feel secure. 📸 Photo updates: You’ll get adorable updates so you can enjoy your trip without constantly wondering how your baby is doing. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, respect your home, and treat your pet like family. No rushed visits, no “just checking a box”—your pet gets real attention and care. You handle your plans. I’ll handle the tail wags. 🐾💕 Hellooo wonderful fur parents, I currently work part time so I can only pet care every day from 8 AM to 3 PM. However if you need me too I am willing to call out. I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow the owner’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and safe. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and affection based on their individual needs and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing reliable care, keeping them updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being and will notify the owner immediately if I notice anything unusual. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so both pets and owners can feel confident and comfortable while they’re apart.
About: I had a Jack Russel Terrier as a kid up until I was 15 years old. I haven’t had a dog since and I have never had cats but rest assured I know how to care for both! My dog died in 2018 and shortly after in 2019 I ended up getting 2 hamsters, and shortly after my animal list grew! I have 3 degus, 2 hamsters, 1 crested gecko, 1 halmahera giant gecko, 2 gerbils and 4 snails! They are all enclosed so the animals I board won’t be able to get to them! My love for animals runs deeper then most and I can assure that your pets will be in safe hands! I can walk your dogs for up to 2 hours everyday if needed! I am a high school student at the moment and graduating in 2021 so I do have school during the day but I am online and not in person so I have the time to care for your dog or cat! I live with my mom and she works from home so that’s another person in the house to help me out if I need it! I work for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services! I work 9 hour days but will be able to come back home during lunch for most house sittings, if not I will communicate that in advance. I will do whatever you need for your pets and customize my routine at your home to your liking! I live in a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home which has a large unfenced yard. Plenty of walking and play space and I’m able to go on daily runs/walks. There is a dog park nearby which I can go to sometimes but not daily. For house sitting I will do whatever you would like me to do for your fur babies! All I want is for them to be happy and healthy!
About: I have been taking care of dogs for my neighbors since I was 12 years old, where I was relied on to feed, walk, and play with many breeds of dogs. Since then, I have also fostered dogs and cats through my local shelter, and have been a designated dog walker for the past 6 months. I have experience fostering puppies as well! I am currently a law student and am hoping to walk/dog sit when I am not in class. I can easily hang out or with your dogs in the afternoons and/or weekends! I am very experienced with dog sitting and have spent weeks at a time dog sitting for others overnight. I am happy to take your dogs on multiple walks a day, play with them, and feed them. I will also follow every instruction you give extremely carefully!

Summer did a wonderful job looking after our dog- Atticus . She kept us up to date at all times about his behavior , mood and their daily schedule together and also sent us daily pictures of their time together that we loved . Summer is also very flexible and accommodating . when we had to unexpectedly add an extra day to our booking , she was extremely helpful and willing to stay .From the first time Atticus met Summer it was obvious he loved her . She was so kind and loving towards him and obviously feels very comfortable around big dogs , just like him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 338 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Centerville. 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 Centerville 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 Centerville 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 Centerville 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 Centerville. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
