âWe are so happy with the services Brandon provided while we were on vacation. We came home to very happy dogs and the house exactly how we left it. Brandon sent pictures, asked questions and made sure our animals were well loved while we were away. I couldnât be more pleased and will definitely plan to use him for future trips. I highly recommend Brandon for house and dog sitting.â

âI had an incredible experience with Urvashi. From the moment she met Cooper, I knew he was in good hands. She was so kind and loving towards him and took the time to send me plenty of updates and pictures. Iâve genuinely felt as comfortable leaving him with anyone else as I did with her. She also took excellent care of the house. Iâm super relieved to have met her and I will absolutely be asking her to look after him again!â

âWe love Mia! Once again, we had a wonderful experience and plan to use Mia again and again! Always on time and so attentive to our fur baby! We absolutely love having her!â

âGreat sitter! Kristi was able to watch Camila overnight on short notice and gave me all the information I need during the stay to feel at ease about being away. Camila was happy and well taken care of. I really appreciated how easy and stress-free Kristi made everything!â

âGreat, dog loving sitter who will truly care for your pet as if you never left. It was such a relief knowing my fur babies were taken care of and we could just relax and enjoy vacation. We are booking again for November. Thank you!â


About: Iâve been taking care of animals since my brother got his first dog when I was 12. Me and my family have had all sorts of puppers from a 130lbs cane corso to a 40lbs husky mix. Iâve dog sat dogs of every size and with a huge range of personalities. Iâve also never met a dog that didnât like me. I am a full time student, however I get breaks in between my classes and when Iâm not at class Iâll most likely be with your dog. I should be available 24/7 aside from some holidays and exams weeks :( I have a fenced in spacious yard and a crate if needed. I do live with 2 senior pitbulls, but the only thing Iâd be worried about is the cold look from a jealous dog thatâs used to getting all my attention.

About: I have pet sat for years! Along with working at the local humane society for 2 years, I am a vet assistant there and I love it! I also have fostered for the last 3 years from dogs and puppies to cats and kittens (with a few pocket pets as well). I work full time, living only a few minutes from work, coming home during lunch for potty breaks and a little play time if boarding. If sitting in your home, depending on location ,I will be there as well during lunch. If itâs too far plenty of time for potty breaks and play time before and after work! I have a dog of my own who loves to play! However, if needed I can keep everyone separated. I have a complete fenced in yard with lots of room to run. I have fostered for years so I have all the supplies one could need! Also taking great care of clients homes and furry family members when sitting in your home. I work with neonatal to seniors on a daily basis I can meet any needs from my home to yours!
About: I provide a calm, structured home environment for animals (dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc.) who thrive in a peaceful setting. As a work-from-home mom, Iâm able to be present and attentive throughout the day while maintaining a consistent routine for the animals in my care. I have experience caring for a variety of animals and have learned the importance of understanding each animal's temperament and ensuring the right fit before every stay. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where our cat and your animal can relax and feel at home. Your animal(s) will be part of a calm, family-centered environment with a consistent daily routine. I offer a peaceful home that is best suited for well-mannered, low-maintenance animals who enjoy a relaxed setting. Dogs in my care should be: *Fully potty trained *Gentle and comfortable around children *Non-aggressive toward cats, dogs, or other animals *Able to enjoy time in a fenced backyard calmly *Comfortable being left alone for a few hours My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for both your pet and my home. I provide a calm, structured home environment where pets are part of our daily routine. Dogs receive frequent potty breaks and have access to a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time. I follow each petâs feeding schedule closely and do my best to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. Because I have children and a cat, safety is very important to me. I ensure all dogs are a good fit for a family setting and are comfortable around other household members. I prioritize calm introductions, supervision, and a low-stress environment for pets in my care.
âI couldnât have asked for a better dog sitter! Kassandra stayed in my home for 3 nights and took such great care of my dog, Zeus, and my home. I felt comfortable knowing Zeus was in good hands while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and treated my home with respect. I came home to a really happy dog and everything just as I left it. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely use her again! Thank you again Kassandra. Truly.â

âTatum was the most respectful, loving, and caring sitter for my new puppy! She was very knowledgeable about dogs! She did everything I asked and followed directions clearly. Tatum also sent me a ton of pictures and text updates throughout her stay at my apartment. I am so happy I found her as my sitter!!! After I had a tough time with a different sitter in the past, she definitely made me feel comforted that my puppy was taken care of. Very professional care! I will be using her as much as possible!â

âAtlas was great! We needed someone to spend quality time with our kitties while we were away for 10 days and she took excellent care of the cats and our home. Her communication and pics allowed us to not worry and truly enjoy our trip. We will be using Atlas for future trips for sure!â


About: Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow I work best for business trips or vacations rather than consistent weekly care. Iâm a college student working part time, so I have availability in the early morning and afternoon/evening during the week and weekend. Sometimes my schedule varies but I should be able to accommodate with notice (preferably a week in advance of the sit). I do not board. I live in an apartment with two kitties and I would not want to cause them anxiety by introducing new pets! For the benefit of both of our fur families I would love to care for them in the comfort of their own home :)
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly see them as family. I love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Iâve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have had four dogs of my own. I also love cats and have experience caring for them, including diabetic cats and dogs, as well as pets with other medical needs. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, go for a walk, or just have someone to keep them company, Iâll care for them like theyâre my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing theyâre safe, loved, and getting the best care while youâre away. Available for boardings all week and every other weekend! I work two days a week so my schedule shifts every week. Can always make a fit !! Iâm in an apartment but I can take your pet outside for walks. Still having fun in the house and cuddles! Have two cats if they get along with other animals.
âJonathan was a godsend! He was very kind and attentive to fur babies! We needed someone on short notice after my daughter backed out of caring for them while we were away. All the animals warmed up to him immediately. He cared for them as if they were his own and even cleaned up around our house before we got back even though we didnât ask! We truly appreciate everything he has done for us and will definitely have him over again in the future!â

About: Iâve had rescue dogs my whole adult life, 3lbs to 120lbs. My pets are my world and I will treat your pets how Iâd want mine treated. I am a full time nurse and work 3/12hr shifts weekly overnight so Iâm available for walks/play in the mornings and throughout the day. I am studying dog grooming also so that I can start my own business and add that as a service provided. Walking, playing, bathing, feeding, snuggling etc. are services I can provide to keep your pets comfortable in your absenceâŚthey will be excited to see you when you return but will have been loved well while you were gone.
âMaya was great!! She took awesome care of my dogs! She sent pictures of them, played with them! She took great care of my house! I would definitely recommend her! We will use her the next time we go away!â

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Centerville
Excellent care was provided to Sophie this past week evidenced by all the pictures that Alexis shared while I was away. Trusted home care was the extra bonus as well. And, I sensed Sophie bonded with Alexis: she loved the TLC and daily walks she received. Overall, great communication, reliable care and I highly recommend Alexis!

Grace was wonderful. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog and cats with her while we went on a weekend trip. Grace is very responsible, prompt and conscientious. She was very good with our pets and they were happy and comfortable with her! She sent updates and pictures twice a day which we very much appreciated. I highly recommend Grace for any of your pet care needs.
Thank you, Kathleen!!! My goofy girl Jolene and my home were meticulously cared for while I was gone for a few days! I will absolutely be booking Kathleen again in the future. I can leave knowing that I will come home to a very happy dog and a clean home, and I am so incredibly grateful for that.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Centerville is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $63 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 811 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 sitterâs 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 homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.

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.
