“Sandy is so diligent and thorough! Our dogs are elderly and have lots of meds, she is a complete pro at administering the medication. Our dogs love her and she sent adorable pictures of all the pups. Ty!!”
“DeAnna was very responsive and easy to work with. Thanks for watching the pups! We have a couple more sits booked with her and it’s nice to know they will be cared for while I’m gone.”
“Jacob was absolutely wonderful. He went above and beyond with communicating both before he house sat for us and while we were gone. He also provided us with lots of pictures of our pets while we were gone, and gave us completeoeace of mind. We highly recommend him and will be using him again!”
“Riley is a delight and true animal lover! She cared for our elderly dogs while we were on vacation in our home. She treated them as her own and even won over our standoffish one within a couple days! She kept us informed, sent us photos and reached out with questions she had. She was sweet and understanding of our elderly dogs special supplements and followed our instructions to a T. Our home was immaculate upon our return; she even washed and folded all the towels and bedding she used! Our pups have a new friend for life and we will sure to use her for our next vacations! Book her today - you wont regret it!”
About: I’ve grown up on a farm, caring for various types of animals including dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I have years of experience working at animal shelters and clinics which makes me prepared for any type of situation. I’m skilled in providing loving, reliable care for all animals, big and small. I’m currently a full time college student so I will have classes throughout the day but am available in the mornings and the afternoons. Weekends are usually free unless noted otherwise. Ensuring a safe, calm, and comfortable environment is my priority. I’ll make sure your pup feels secure and happy while under my care, providing them with all the attention and safety they deserve!
About: I've helped take care of dogs for friends and family since I graduated from college in 2016. I'm a thoroughbred jockey currently off riding due to injury, and apprenticing to become a dog trainer. I have multiple friends that train dogs professionally, my personal dog sees multiple trainers regularly, and I learn new things every day. From obedience to behavior to nutrition, I value all of the practical use, knowledge, and love I can apply to any dog I get the opportunity to work with! I'm a thoroughbred jockey currently off riding due to injury. I have a lot of free time now, and I've started to fill it by gaining as much knowledge and practice in professional pet and sport training for dogs and cats. Rover is a way I may be able to help out my community by applying everything I'm learning for pets and people that need someone that cares about their animals the way I've cared about animals my whole life. At home, I have two lovely house cats and one rambunctious puppy. My cats like their space and will ask for love when they want it. My puppy needs structure in his day to balance activity, learning, enrichment, and rest. I am more than comfortable providing the kind of care any client wants for their furry family members. Whether that's daily enrichment, getting out in the world, or learning an off switch at home. I'm familiar with excited jumping on guests and earning trust from nervous or shy animals. I have Ruffland crash tested kennels in my car and can provide enrichment and new adventures if requested! If you don't have a fenced area around your home, and you are comfortable with it, I do have 20ft long lines I can use so the dogs get a chance to be outside to play and do their business while also ensuring their safety. I've always been an animal lover, and now that I have free time in my life, I want to provide knowledge and time for other animals and their humans that need a helping hand.
About: Dog Walking: Can be over thirty minutes (based on your preference), but additional charges may apply. I love taking care of all dogs and cats! Both of us could use the exercise anyways, and they will come home as happy as ever! House Sitting: Available for more than one night. Your pet will get my undivided attention the whole time I'm there (Plant care services complimentary). I am a working sitter with my own pup, so if overnights stays are your preference, then I may not be your flavor, and that’s okay! Drop-In Visits: Available for more than thirty minutes (additional charges may apply). Your pet will get lots of love and pets while you're away! I can do these around my work schedule! It varies so please feel free to inquire. About Me: - 25 years old - Licensed Mental Health Therapist - B.S in Psychology, M.S. in Clinical Mental Health - Very neat and clean. - Reliable! - Doing this for fun, and the other owners. - Will answer any questions you may have! - Really just trying to pay down my student loans :) I work around a varied schedule in Mt. Sterling, KY, Tues-Sat. It varies with my clients, so check in to see if I can work you in!! I do have my own doggy, but I can always work yours into my schedule as well! Overnight stays are not preferred. This will depend on my husbands schedule, as he is gone 24hrs every third day (first responder). Please please please keep in mind that I am a working sitter, so I will not be available to stay 24/7. If that’s what you prefer, than I’m not the best fit for your needs, and thats okay! If your dog cannot do potty breaks for more than 4 hours in between, I’m not the best fit! While I’m at the house, your pet will have my undivided attention and I’d be happy to give any special care needed. I do adore dogs and hope to give back any way I can to other pet owners in need. I know we can’t always turn to friends/family with our pets, but you still want them to be treated as such! This is just a fun way for me to help pay my student loans down :) I care for pets based on your needs/preferences. Depending on the instructions you give me! We love play time and walks :). I will not do anything that is not approved or pre-described.
“Glenn did a great job watching our Great Pyrenees! He was well cared for and we got regular updates while we were gone. The house also looked great when we came home”
“We were lucky enough to book Chay for drop ins and then tack on a last minute trip having her house sit. She was friendly and comfortable with our pets and we loved receiving pictures of them every day!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and I couldn’t be happier! Diego was a pleasure to meet and the animals just adored him. He was very punctual, polite, and curteous. I will be Diego for this service many more times!”
“I highly recommend Casey to care for your fur babies! We traveled out of town and she went over and beyond caring for our 16 year old Sadie. Casey is super clean and very polite. Knowing Sadie was being looked after by Casey provided such a wonderful trip to see our family. I can’t wait to have Casey come back for our next trip.”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years. I was so lucky to grow up in a home that was the local Noah’s Arc. This childhood formed my commitment and love to animals. About 20 years ago, I decided to enter the world of pure bred dogs and have been an avid exhibitor and breeder of Pointers and Ridgebacks focused always on good temperaments and health. I love dogs and really believe it’s important that each animal I care for, feels at home, comfortable, pampered, exercised and loved. I have 4 dogs that are super casual and it has been very easy to bring animals into my home. I will only take 1 or 2 dogs at a time, as I want to be able to provide the best care possible for them. Your animals are treated as though they are mine and the care and love they will experience can only be exceeded by you. It’s always stressful for animals to be away from their families, so the more I can do to relieve this stress, the better I feel. I always tease my clients that their dogs may come home a little spoiled. I’m very much available all day really to take care of the dogs as my schedule is very flexible. In addition my brother lives with me and he helps me take care of the dogs. There is always a person at our house while your dog will be visiting. I also offer a military discount for those that have or are serving our beautiful country. I do not work outside of the home, which provides me with a lot of flexibility to provide dedicated care to your pets all day. I think it's important dogs that stay at my house receive the same amount of attention as they would at home and as my dogs do. I also believe it's important not to disrupt their daily routine, so I work closely with owners to understand each Dog needs.
About: I do not take payment outside of the rover app or any other forms of payment! I have taken care of animals big and small for most of my life; goats, chickens, cats, dogs, geese, rabbits, fish, snakes, rats, geckos, tortoises, pigeons, and probably more. I have pet sit for many friends and family members, and now that I have a cat of my own, I know how much trust one must put in someone to watch their pet. I have also cared for animals in a professional setting at Madison Children's Museum (where I cared for chickens, pigeons, crested geckos, turtles, tortoises, and rats) and was trained in their care. I am used to feeding my cat and cleaning her litter box every morning. Along with this, I sweep because she is a menace who launches her litter across the room. I will treat your pet as if they are my own family, talking to them as if they can respond, and giving them all the love I have. I will also follow any special instructions you have for me, and try to keep your pet on their preferred schedule - I want you both to be as comfortable as possible.
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life, from dogs and cats to reptiles and amphibians, I've care for most! Being aware and responsive to your pets needs is key! I do contract work so my schedule is flexible most of the time. Generally up late so don't mind odd hours. Also available for early mornings as well, schedule can usually made to accommodate. I have reliable transportation and can travel whenever needed. I'm comfortable and experienced in giving pets medicine or injection if need be, and I'm willing to adapt to whatever needs your pets may have.
About: Got my first dog at age 10, an English Bulldog named Buster. A few years later I got my second dog, a poodle mix named Tucker. Been employed to take care of several other breeds/ages by family and friends! I am a college student and have a pretty flexible schedule besides a few spread out classes! I will do whatever I can to accommodate all pets needs! I love all things pets! I am willing to work with whatever their needs may be. Whether that be a high energy pup or a lazy one!
About: Something that sets me apart from other sitters is my versatile background interacting with and caring for a wide range of furry friends — from dogs, to cats, to bunnies, to birds! I also have my own 3 year old golden retriever, who has taught me the responsibilities that come with owning a pet, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and tons of affection of course! I promise that I can provide the utmost safe, playful, and friendly environment for your pet(s), and can’t wait to meet you! I’m currently a full time dental student, we works from 8-12 and 2-5. I am able to go home during lunch, and I am very close to the school, so it takes me 10 minutes max to get to and from the school! I’m available all weekends and week nights! I live with two other young girls, and we live on a safe culdesac with a completely fenced in backyard, and our yard backs up to a local park, which is perfect for games of fetch and quick walks! I am serious about leash safety, and always make sure other dogs are on leashes when interacting with my own dog.
About: I am an animal science major at the University of Kentucky and have experience with pet sitting, walking, and training. I have multiple years of experience. I am currently available anytime after 4 PM on weekends and some evenings during the week. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s schedule. Pets in my care are always kept safe, comfortable, and happy. I can crate your dog if needed and follow any special feeding or medication instructions.
About: I adore animals, and with me, your pet will always remain safe and pampered. I have a long history of animal care, having grown up raising and caring for just about anything you could imagine. I am a college student and athlete, and I am an expert at juggling my workload. I can be wherever needed at any point, except when I have class or soccer games. I believe in treating everything with proper respect and care, especially when that entails others' property. I have no issue cleaning messes made by pets, and will always do my best to prevent any misshaps.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 445 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
