“I couldn't have picked a better sitter for my babies! Milena was so loving and caring and stayed the night with them at our house so they could be super comfortable while we were gone. Will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you Milena!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so taking care of them has always been second nature to me. Right now I have two dogs of my own, Ali, my Cockapoo, and Queen, my Great Pyrenees. They have completely different personalities, so I know every dog has their own routine and needs. Even though I’m new to Rover, I’m dependable, patient, and I’ll care for your dog the same way I care for mine. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or staying with them in your home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll also send plenty of updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently offer dog walking & drop-in visits. I work full-time, so I’m mostly available on weekends, some holidays, and other times depending on my schedule. I’ll always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. Once I commit, I’ll make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and love they deserve, and I’ll stick to their normal routine as closely as possible. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I want you to feel comfortable from the start. I’ll treat your home with respect, follow your pet’s routine, and pay attention to the little things that make them feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you always know how they’re doing.
“Sydney was amazing. We found her on here and had her housesit and care for our two big dogs for 5 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly comfortable handling dogs. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and relaxed when we got home, which says everything. The house was left in great shape, and we felt completely at ease knowing everything was in good hands. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Leia did a wonderful job taking care of my fur babies. She went above and beyond to keep my home clean and comfortable. She sent daily pictures and my babies lived her. I highly recommend asking Leia to care for your animal(s). Thank you for a great experience!”
About: I have had a couple of dogs in my lifetime and have realized that I love animals as if they were my own children. I can’t wait to watch your babies! I am currently a stay at home mom to my disabled son and daughter so I have plenty of time on my hands. I would love to fit your pets into my everyday life. I have a fenced in decent sized yard so there will be plenty of room for your babies to roam around instead of having to be on a leash. I do not kennel dogs in my home. They have free roam of my house.
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for over 15 years. I grew up in a cat-loving home, where my parents welcomed seven cats into our family. My siblings and I all shared the responsibility of caring for them, so looking after animals has always been a part of my life. We also always had big dogs! Mastiffs, Labrador Retrievers, and a Standard Poodle, I’m very comfortable caring for both large and small breeds. Our newest family member, Penny the Chihuahua, has given me plenty of experience earning the trust of shy, skittish, anxious, and even grumpy little pups. I understand that some dogs and cats need a little extra time to feel comfortable, and I’m committed to respecting their boundaries while making them feel safe, loved, and cared for. Whether your pet is outgoing or a little more reserved, I’ll meet them where they are and give them the patience and kindness they deserve. To me, pets are so much more than animals, they’re family. While you’re away, I’ll care for your furry family member with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! Right now I work at a family-friend owned franchise and have very flexible hours. If i’m notified 2-1 week’s in advance I could have the entire day/days dedicated to taking care of your pup. If last minute pet care is needed, I can more than likely work my schedule around to help with your needs! I have a mostly fenced in yard and will be taking that fix into priority, I just don’t currently have the funds to finish the other side of the fence. Leashed walks and potty breaks will be the for front of my care until we are able to fix the fence. I am more than happy to stand on the curb side for 25 minutes while your pup sniffs the same concrete patch each walk, per the inconvenience 😅😂 I understand and have experience following feeding schedules so if you have list, please let me know and i’d be happy to follow!
“Naomi watched our sweet dog for the day while my partner and I were at our wedding. She sent pictures and told me what they did that day. She was so communicative! I really appreciate her loving on my baby and tending to all her needs. We will definitely be using her again! Thank you Naomi!”
About: My name is Truman but I go by Max! I’ve cared for all kinds of animals for years — from dogs and cats to bearded dragons and small pets. I adjust my approach based on the animal’s personality; not every pet wants constant attention, and I’m good at reading what they need. I don’t board dogs or cats at my home, but I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. Clear communication and reliability are my top priorities. I work at Publix, so my schedule can vary week to week. I’m flexible and happy to coordinate drop-ins, walks, or overnights around your routine—with clear communication and quick confirmations. I take a calm, thoughtful approach with every pet. When meeting a new animal, I get down to their level and let them come to me — it helps them feel safe and in control. I respect each owner’s preferences for communication and routines, and I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own environment. You’ll always get reliable updates without being overwhelmed.
About: I have taken care of many breeds of animals. I have given subcutaneous fluids to sick animals, injections, and oral medications. I am willing to pick up after pets, along with scoop litter. I love to play with animals, and I’ll treat them like my own. I am a medical student just trying to get an extra serotonin boost from looking after pets when presented to me. I prefer overnight watching on weekends but can check in on pets anytime throughout the week. Or board them at my place if necessary. I live in a townhouse that has an upstairs and downstairs. There is a pet park on my property that I can walk l dogs to for them to play or fetch, and I have 3 cat trees for your kitties to share with my little boy Leo. I have a cat fountain for cats to drink from that is cleaned weekly, and many animal bowls to go downstairs for pups and dogs. I am more than happy to feed your pets whatever schedule and amount you request as well as give many pets and lovins.
“Ellen and her husband did a great job of watching all of our dogs (including a new puppy). She kept us up to date with check-ins and was very transparent with us about anything we may want to know. Ellen was great with her communication and replied quickly to us. We will definitely be booking with her in the future”
“Ariana is fantastic! She was easy to communicate with and sent updates and pictures through out our trip. The dogs had a great time with her and it relieved so much stress knowing they had someone to play and cuddle with. She and her fiancé clearly love dogs and are great with them.”
About: With over 4 years of dedicated pet sitting experience in Okinawa, now stationed in Warner Robins during my USAF service, I specialize in high-quality, attentive care for multi-pet homes. Experienced with up to 7 dogs at once, from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring patience and specialized attention. Pet care is part of my routine, where I can dedicate my full attention to each pet. After recently relocating, I’m taking a thoughtful approach to reestablishing my services, ensuring every fur baby receives consistent, attentive, and reliable care. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow your instructions and routines, making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kaytlin is so sweet and so good with my pup! She adored her! She sent me so many pictures and videos throughout the night and day and made sure to know she was doing well! I’d love to have her watch my pup anytime! Thank you!”
About: Whether your pup needs playtime and belly rubs or your cat craves quiet companionship and care, I’m here to treat them like family. With 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, I provide personalized, stress-free pet sitting that keeps tails wagging and whiskers purring. I know how important trust and consistency are, and I’m committed to keeping your pets safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I'm currently in college, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets!! My schedule is pretty lenient, with me being available every day after 1:00pm. I'm eager to care for your pets and have absolutely no problem commuting to your home to do so. I can also make multiple trips in a day if needed.
About: I love taking care of animals, and I love to play with the animals and show them love and affection. I used to own a cat and a dog but I did not have the financial means to take care of them. But, I am available any day of the week and even weekends. I hope that I can get to know your fur baby or babies more and I hope to form a bond with y'all. I'm not just in it for the animals, I'm also willing to form a bond with the owners. I am very much a caring person and love people as well as animals. I hope to hear from you soon! Thanks for taking the time to read this info!
“Katherine filled in when another house sitter had a family emergency, arriving at my house to stay with my babies late at night. I am so glad she did because she was amazing. You could tell she genuinely cares for the animals in her care. They loved her and I have the most fun pictures of their playtime to show it. She communicated so well and went above and beyond for my family. I will ask Katherine first in the future to be my sitter. She was great and I recommend her highly!”

Milena did a WONDERFUL job. We did a meet and greet and my 3 fur babies loved her immediately. She sent me updates and pictures daily while we were away on a family vacation. She house sat as mine have separation anxiety and don’t do well outside the home. She went above and beyond and made me and my pups feel anxiety free. I can’t thank her enough for what an amazing job she did. She truly cares for these babies as if they are her own. HIGHLY recommend Milena for any service you may need. Thank you!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Centerville on Rover is $27.82 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 148 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
