“Carol was excellent dog sitter who I would recommend to everyone. She took the time to understand our dogs needs (and tortoises) and text us updates to make sure we felt reassured. An ideal house guest - she kept the place spotless whilst we were away. Thanks carol - we will definitely use you again!!”
About: 12+ years of professional pet and farm sitting experience. I offer tailored care to dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals. I specialize in caring for senior animals and pets with medical or complex care needs. I care for your animals like they are my own and offer compassionate, patient care that meets your pets full range of needs. My love for animals began at the age of 2 by bringing home a garter snake and over the years I've had dogs, cats, a horse, birds and other fuzzy critters that I've loved dearly. A meet and greet is required for first time clients to allow me to get to know your pets and their routine to ensure they receive the best care possible. 💛🐱🐕 I am a full-time pet and farm sitter. I work 7 days a week and holidays, when available. I'm often booked several weeks in advance. I care for your animals in your home where they are most comfortable. I am detail oriented and aim to leave your home clean and cared for just like your pets. I have plenty of references and I'm always happy to answer any questions you have about care, my background and my process.
“The best!!! Marissa is awesome! She took wonderful care of our pets and made it so much easier to relax while we were away. It was obvious Mirra and Coco were happy and comfortable with her. We’d absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to everyone! Beyond grateful!”
About: I’ve taken care of various dogs- from Chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees. I’m a cat mom of 5- all rescues of various ages. I have lots of love and passion for animals of any kind. One thing about me, I love bringing treats and toys for new fur babies! <3 I’m currently taking online courses for my bachelor’s degree- my schedule is extremely flexible, and I dedicate my time to taking care of pets! I have 3 acres for pets to run around, I live on a quiet back road- no fencing, but back yard faces away from road. For cats, and small dogs, I have a cation built into my back porch! For in-home, I have plenty of toys and treats I travel with. I’m educated on animal nutrition and CPR.
About: I’ve taken care of hundreds of dogs over the past 2 years, all of different ages and sizes, with different needs. From walking, transporting, playing, supervising playtime, cuddling, cleaning, and assisting those in need, I am capable of doing just about anything you need for your fur baby. (Worked at Greymont kennel services and Chasing Tail Pet Farm, have done pet sitting off of rover, and have owned multiple dogs of different age/size, with different limitations) I have work from 0500-1630 but I’m still available on weekends can still work around those times I just need to be able to make it to work on time!! In your home, your pets comfort and safety are a top priority, as is respecting your space. Your home will always be left as it was found if not better, and your pets won’t be lonely with me around!
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats the last 7 years. In a boarding and clinic environment. I have experience with every size dog and cat as well as medicine administration (oral or injection). I’m usually home with my fur babies unless I have to run errands. I might be gone up to 4 hours. When boarders are in my home I try to stay with them more until comfortable. Then if they are social can introduce my pack and slowly meet one by one. Eventually everyone will be able to be out and play. I have a fenced in front yard and fur babies to play with your pets. We have a variety of temperaments and ages, based on your pups body language I would probably have the right fit for them :) or they can also have alone time and be rotated out to avoid other dogs. I crate all my dogs at night before bed. I have cameras around my yard and outside the house for security as well.
“Nic is amazing! You can really tell she truly loves animals and makes sure your babies are loved and cared for when they are with her! She handled my 3 big babies with ease! They were spoiled with homemade treats and roasted pumpkin! They were sound asleep the whole day after we picked them up, I can tell they had lots of fun. We will definitely use Nic again and highly recommend her!”
About: OUT OF STATE SITTING IS ALSO AVAILABLE. I've cared for domestic and farm animals of all kinds. Patience and kindness toward an unfamiliar animal give them time to adjust and feel safe, which ultimately brings them happiness while you're away. I'm semi-retired, so I have flexibility. My primary interest is in extended house-sitting, and pet sitting engagements, such as weekly or longer stays. I can stay for a month if needed. My home location is in Columbia, TN, but I'm also available to TRAVEL OUT OF STATE. Taking care of your home and animals are my priority. I care for each home and animal as I do with my own. Every animal has a routine and familiar places within your home. Keeping this rhythm keeps them happy, healthy and safe until you return.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life but I’ve worked with dogs professionally for about a year now. I work at dog training and boarding facility in a few different roles. I’ve been a trainer, kennel technician, bather, as well as in the office scheduling boarding stays for our pups! I’d love to care for more dogs after work! I’m good at it and I enjoy it so much! I currently work 8am to 4pm. But I have plenty of time to spend with your pup after work! We can go for walks, go to the park or have a bath and get cleaned up! I can come to you home and care for your dog there or I can pick them up, take them out for some fun to get some energy out, and bring them back home safe and sound. I can crate them in my SUV for easy and safe transport.
“We LOVE Dania!!! And more importantly: our pup is so clearly excited to see her when she shows up :) it makes leaving him at least a little bit easier. She is communicative, trustworthy, and dependable. Very glad to have met her through Rover”
“Erica did a great job watching our 2 dogs and our house! She regularly updated me on the dogs and cleaned the whole house before we got home. She was very communicative and friendly, highly recommend!”
About: I have been around and had animals most of my life. The love they can give you is compared to none. I enjoy taking care of a variety of animals. I am available for morning, afternoon and evening walks Sunday through Saturday. And for overnight stays in your home, I am available Sunday through Saturday. I am meticulous in providing amazing, loving care in your home. No need to worry about a thing. My family has a cat so I would not be able to care for pets at my home. But I do think animals are less stressed staying in their own environment.
“Damian did a great job taking care of my dog and house sitting while I was on an extended trip. My dog got along great with Damian. He took Finn for a walk at the park and in the neighborhood. While house sitting and providing dog care, Damian swept the floor, rain the dishwasher, and laundered the towels before leaving. He was trustworthy and respectful in my home. I recommend Damian highly.”
“Ashley was great and did a wonderful job at our house. Everything was in its place when we returned and our pups seemed to be relaxed and happy to have had the attention. We even have a dog who has some accidents due to age, and she let us know about it and cleaned everything up. She communicated with us consistently with questions or concerns, and we were never left wondering how things were going. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Ashley again and would recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve almost always had dogs in the house growing up, and now I share my home with three friendly kitties who adore dogs. Animals have always been part of my life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also volunteer with Wags & Walks, which has given me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That time has taught me how important patience, compassion, and consistency are when it comes to keeping pups happy and safe. What sets me apart is my reliability and genuine love for animals. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine—whether it’s a long walk, quiet companionship, or special care for senior dogs. You can always expect plenty of love, attention, and updates while your pup is with me. Because I work for myself and mostly from home, my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets the attention they deserve—whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or just some extra company throughout the day. I’m able to adjust to your pup or kitty’s routine so they stay happy, comfortable, and cared for. Whether I’m in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets have a calm, loving environment where they can feel secure and cared for. At home, I have three friendly cats who are used to being around dogs, and I always ensure proper introductions and supervision if pets are staying with me. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, medications, and routines, and I always keep a close eye on details like locked doors, secure leashes, and clean water. My goal is to give both pets and their parents peace of mind—knowing their furry loved ones are safe, happy, and in good hands.

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 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.
