Communication was excellent the entire time, and she sent me a video of my pups while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was responsible, thoughtful, and even brought her own food (even though I told her to make herself at home). I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. 🐾💛”

About: Grew up with labs when I was younger, my roommate in college had a lab, and currently have a Morkie. I will be capable of handling any size dog. I love dogs, they are truly our best friends. Pretty open through the week and weekends since I work for myself, so most anytime works. Honestly anytime, I can get my schedule to work around it. Being active!

I have experience with pets who have high energy, anxiety, dietary needs, and physical disabilities. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to pet sit, drop in, provide over night care, and walk their dogs. I have worked at a dog groomer for over 2 years, which has given me experience with a wide variety of animals and their temperaments. I’m a full time student at Clemson University who has most afternoons/ evenings and weekend free to care for your pets! I am studying wildlife conservation so spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do! Following instructions, I can care for your pet however you direct me to.

I typically work a few days out of the week and 4-6 hour shifts! These 4-6 hour shifts are either 10am-3pm or 3pm-9pm! I always give pets as much attention as they will let me. I feel as though feedings schedules and daily walks and attention are necessary for animals. I also like to make sure they have clean food and water and plenty of it!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love! I have experience dog-sitting for families, fostering dogs through a local humane society, and working with animals at a veterinary clinic that cares for both small and large animals. These experiences have helped me become comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication as directed, or simply some extra company, I’m happy to help! My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 As a college student, I have a busy schedule, but caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I balance school, work, and my other responsibilities while staying organized and dependable. I plan my schedule ahead of time to ensure I can give each pet the attention, care, and exercise they need. I am happy to discuss scheduling in advance to find a routine that works best for both you and your pets. My goal is to provide reliable care while making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 In my own home, I make sure pets have a consistent routine, fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and attention, and a clean, comfortable environment. In my clients’ homes, I follow their instructions carefully and stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any special care they may need. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and different needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands! Expect lots of photos and updates while you are away!!

“Colleen was absolutely amazing! She was available on short notice and took such wonderful care of our German Shepherd. She was so sweet and attentive with him, and she kept us updated throughout her visits, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! I would recommend Colleen 10 out of 10 times and will definitely be using her again! 🐾❤️”

About: With me on board, you're cleared for departure! Lifetime animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for pets through every stage of life. I’ve never lived without a pet, and caring for animals isn't just a side job for me, it’s second nature. Over the years, I’ve managed everything from high-energy daily routines to specialized medical care. Having guided three of my own dogs through cancer, I understand how crucial gentle, attentive, and reliable care is when a pet needs extra patience, medication, or comfort. On the flip side, I currently share my home with two rowdy, high-energy Boxers and four cats, so I’m equally at home managing big personalities, high-energy exercise, structured routines, and multi-pet household dynamics. Whether your pet needs structured crate training, engaging enrichment (like stuffed Kongs to keep busy minds occupied), or a patient, calm presence while you're away, I treat every animal in my care with the same dedication, attention, and love I give my own. I work remotely from home, giving me fantastic flexibility throughout the day for daytime drop-ins, walks, and potty breaks. For house sitting, I am fully available on weekends. During weekday house sits, my remote work structure allows me to split my remote workday between your home and mine so I can pop back to care for my own pets while giving yours plenty of dedicated time, attention, and evening companionship. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved. Whether providing care in your home or popping in for a check-in, I am extremely attentive to security, door safety, and personalized needs, including strict crate protocols, medication, or specific feeding schedules. I treat every home with complete respect and treat every pet with the same dedicated care I give my own.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. As a longtime equestrian, I gained valuable experience caring for horses, which taught me responsibility, patience, and confidence in handling animals with different temperaments. In addition to caring for horses, I’ve lived with and cared for two cats over the past two years and have experience looking after multiple dogs and puppies. Last year, I house sat for a family with a very energetic dog, making sure they got plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and companionship while their owners were away. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important routines are, so I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions if needed, and any special requests to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet loves adventures, playtime, or quiet companionship, my goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make time for in my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays. Since I already care for my own cats every day, pet care is a regular part of my life, and I love spending time with animals whenever I can. I’m committed to being dependable, attentive, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I understand that pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I make sure to follow their normal schedule for meals, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any specific instructions from their owners. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while making sure their home is respected and cared for. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always take the time to learn each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so they receive personalized care. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in good hands.
“Riley was so great as a house/pet sitter. She spoiled our pets and took great care of our home. Our dog loves car rides so she took her on one every day (even got pup cups)! She even washed her sheets on her last day. We already booked her for another trip we have planned. Highly recommend!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Centerville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 637 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 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 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.

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.
