“I previously had a family member lined up to watch our dogs while on vacation.. we left and made it all the way to our destination and then ended up having to find someone else to watch the dogs since said family member decided to be unreliable and not follow through… This was my first time using Rover and I found Kinsey, I’m so glad I did! She saved the week on a very very short notice. She sent me multiple pictures of the dogs and kept me updated. she stayed with the dogs the whole time, and I was able to relax and enjoy our vacation without having to worry. Not to mention when we came home, the house was just as clean as when we left! If Kinsey is still doing this next time we go on vacation, she will be my first call!”
“Kathleen did such an amazing job taking care of our cat and dogs! She sent detailed updates and pictures and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our pets were in such good hands. We would have Kathleen back to house sit anytime!”
“This was my first time having Brandon watch Gracie. At our meet and greet, Gracie took right to him which is very unusual for her. I'm always nervous leaving my girl with someone new. Brandon was great about keeping me updated with pictures and texts daily. I had a lot of packages delivered while I was gone. Brandon took them all in and neatly put them in the dining room, He waited until I got back home to leave even though I told him he could go before I got there. I would definitely use Brandon again and would recommend him to anyone who needed great dog sitter.”
“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”
“We 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!”
“Carol was amazing! Sent lots of updates and communicated the entire process while she watched my old fur baby! She was very thorough, flexible and detail oriented and took amazing care of my dog. Would use again . My dog felt right at home with her and I could tell in the pictures he was well taken care of! She goes above and beyond! AMAZING”
“Danni has the sweetest spirt and immediately took to our Gracie Gracie Girl and Indie Boy. She was happy to stay with our Gracie for the day (we SO appreciate that!). When we are gone, Gracie won't eat or go outside (she gets depressed). Imagine our joy and surprise when Danni let us know that Gracie ate all of her dinner and went outside for her!! Danni sent photos and kept us apprised of how the day was going. She has great respect for our home and our wishes for Gracie and we would highly recommend her. Thank you Danni!”
“My rescue Rottie absolutely loved Grace. She was so good and patient with him. He decided that he was her lap dog. She sent lots of pictures and responds quickly. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur babies.”
“Erin watched my babies while I was on a weekend trip. I came home to 2 happy healthy pups. She sent plenty of photos and was great about updating me on how they were doing. I will be using her again!”
“Alexis was great. she spent lots of time with the pups and made sure to adjust walk time to account for the heat. house was in great condition when I returned home. She also sent picture updates and let me know when she had arrived and before her final leaivng. already planning to book her again.”
“Isabella is very caring and thoughtful. She was great at communicating with us throughout her stay. She definitely left our home better than she found it. :) I would recommend Isabella to anyone!”
“Erin is very conscientious and professional. Took great care of Rocko and our home while we were gone and communicated well throughout her stay. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Tarah is amazing. She cared for our fur baby during the 4th weekend and Miss. Remi gets very anxious with loud sounds but Tarah went above and beyond to keep her comfortable. When we first met Tarah she was very personable and Remi went straight to her. She has excellent communication skills while keeping your pet. We highly recommend Tarah. We will definitely ask her to keep Remi again.”
About: I currently have 2 of my own doggos at my family’s home and a cat who lives with me. I absolutely adore pets, I grew up with both cats and dogs. I've dog sat for friends and family many times before and I've attended training sessions with one of my family’s dogs. At this time I am able to dog/cat walk and sit any days of the week. I can do drop ins as well as overnights. I provide lots of love, follow any and all instructions provided, and keep owners up to date on how their furry friends are doing while they are away.
“Mindy was amazing! From the beginning to end, she was flexible, understanding and helpful. She was extremely communicative and took great care of our fur baby and our home. We got lots of pictures and updates while we were gone and would 100% use Mindy again! Thank you again Mindy!”
“Caroline pet/house sat for us for a week. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats. This was our first time using Rover and Caroline. Caroline was a perfect match for our pets' needs! We couldn't have been happier with our experience. We will definitely be looking for Caroline's pet services the next time we need a sitter.”
“Katharine was great!! We had a short one night trip but Katharine was great to work with and took great care of our pets. She checked in about our travel plans, gave great updates and was very communicative! We’ll definitely use Katharine again for future travels!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Centerville
We were extremely happy with our recent experience with Jenna. Our pre-meeting and setup was easy and Lola took to her right away. On the day of our travel, Jenna let us know when she arrived and we received timely communications including photos during the week. Some of the photos showed Jenna playing with Lola. When we returned, Lola seemed well adjusted and cared for. On our last day, Jenna texted us to wish us a safe journey home. When we got home our house was clean with no traces of anyone living there. Much appreciated.
Asche did a great job watching Sophie in my home. She followed the instructions and made it to my place in spite of us getting 14 inches of snow just two days before! That is dedication and reflects well on Rover. Sophie took right to her from the first visit. I could tell instantly that she loves taking care of our fur babies I'll be reaching out to her again whenever I need Sophie watched in my home.
Joyce is amazing. She sent pictures and an update, daily! My Sophie is a Shih Tzu and her hair is long. Joyce did a great job in keeping her groomed and void of tangles or, mats. When it was time to leave, Joyce went above and beyond by cleaning the bathroom, kitchen and even washed the towels and sheets she used. My home looked the same as when I left, if not better, The next time I need someone to house sit my Sophie, no question it will be Joyce if, she's available. Thank you Jouce for taking good care of my little girl!

FAQs for House Sitting - Centerville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Centerville on Rover is $41.73 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 812 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.

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.
