“Baileigh did a wonderful job with our cat Babette! Babette's mood was warm and happy when we returned. She warmed up to her right away. Baileigh kept us updated with cute pics and our place was just as we left upon return!”
“I would recommend Karlee to anyone looking for a sitter. While she watched our Golden Retriever, she stayed in communication with us while we were away, sent photos with updates, took her on walks, left our space clean, and she took really good care of our girl. With our permission, she even took her over to her house during the day to play with her own dog. We had a great experience with Karlee and would book with her again!”
“Nicole took great care of my pups and my house! My dogs enjoyed playing and snuggling with her! Came home to a clean house and everything in order. It was so great to know they were in good hands and I didn't need to worry about them while I was away. Will use her again!”
“Liz did a wonderful job watching our kids. We have one large dog and one small dog. Liz did a great job of catering to each of their needs. We could see through the pics that she sent with updates that they were happy and well cared for making it easy to relax while on vacation. And we came home to a clean house and happy dogs. We will definately reach out to her again when we need a sitter.”
“Thankful for the availability, communication and response time in finding a sitter for the dogs. The meet and greet was nice with Trista beforehand and for her to feel comfortable with the dogs/home. It looks like food got mixed up during the weekend and I also had to deep clean upon return home for some pet messes. I'd consider Trista for when we are in a pinch but with better written instructions.”
“We love Tammy. She is outstanding with our three dogs and two cats. Tammy gives you updates on your babies everyday with pictures. She is our permanent sitter and we already have the next time booked with her. We wouldn’t have anyone else watch our babies.”
“Cameron was great. I have three dogs and my dog Sam requires some additional care and cleaning, Cameron was willing to provide it and did a great job. He provided daily updates and pictures from their walks. My house was clean and dogs were happy when I returned. I'll use Cameron's services again and highly recommend him!”
“Amber was extremely flexible with her schedule and after a last minute cancellation from my other dog sitter, she responded quickly to my Rover request. She was very attentive to the dogs but also the house and cleaning up. She put away my dishes and loaded the dishwasher and started it for me. We were just gone one evening but it was nice to come home to a clean home and happy fur babies. Thank you, Amber!”
“Kimmie was kind and responsive to me and our little guy was happy and healthy when we returned. She cleaned the house as well. We will definitely hire her again if we are lucky enough to book her.”
“We have had Lindsay house sit for us many times and she always takes such good care of our dogs and home. She is provides frequent updates, treats our home and dogs as her own, and has become our go-to for when we are out of town. Couldn’t recommend Lindsay more.”
“She was wonderful! Tiffany was very responsive, sent daily updates and photos, and took great care of our fur-babies. Even during unexpected cold and snowy weather, she brought in our strawberry plant as requested and got the dogs out for a couple walks. Our pets loved her, and we came home to happy animals. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Madison was incredible! We felt so comfortable having her in our home. Our pitty is a senior with some medical issues. Madison was so confident in giving her medicine and giving her extra love while we were away. We also got regular messages to let us know that things were going well and photos! It’s always so fun to get photos! Madison also happily helped a neighbor that needed help with a package. We have a close knit neighborhood, so it was so nice that she would help. We will definitely use Madison in the future and will recommend her to our dog friends!”
“Dana was great with my very shy pup during the initial meet-and-greet and was very communicative! She was also amazing when my poor pup came down with a serious case of the scratchies before I left. Dana had no issues administering oral medication or swabbing the area. I also appreciated the updates she provided so I had peace of mind while away from home. My pets seemed loved and cared for in my absence and my apartment was clean as well.”

“We are very pleased with how Kenna took care of Yuma and our house. Kenna texted us every morning to let us know how things were going. She always included a couple of pictures. When we reached out to her she was very quick to reply. My husband and I both think the house looked cleaner after we got home than when we left it. We both highly recommend Kenna for your petsitting needs!”
“Thank you Melia for taking such great care of the boys. When I got home, my two dogs seemed happy and calm! Melia took great care of the home too, stripped the bed and cleaned up after herself. I will definitely book with her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Centerville
This was our first time using Rover, and Christine exceeded our expectations! Upon meeting her, we immediately knew she was the right person for our dogs. She was incredibly thorough, sent updates with pictures, and most importantly, our dogs loved her! We will definitely use her in the future!
Nichole is a top notch dog sitter. She stayed with our older greyhound in our home for five nights. She provided updates and was excellent at communicating. Our dog was happy and well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely have Nichole stay with him again!
Karlee was so awesome! We didn't have to worry that Gracie was without a loving caretaker. Karlee even took our very naughty doggie on a walk. It is such a relief to know that we can leave our dog and go on vacation. I highly recommend Karlee and will ask her again to take care of our dog. The pictures she sent were proof that Gracie had warmed up and made a new friend.
Reagan is absolutely amazing! This was the longest trip we have taken away from Willow and we felt 100% comfortable the whole time. I’m not even sure if Willow missed us much because she loves Reagan so much! 😝 Reagan sent lots of photos and updates. She made us feel so comfortable and it’s clear Willow was very well taken care of.
Rebecca is absolutely amazing!! Exuberant energies, and a happy person indeed. Exceptional, caring and loving for Eiffel and Como during her stay. My house was cleaner and more organized while she stayed. Absolutely I will be revisiting her. We’re watching this ancestors again. I can’t say enough, how much joy and happinessp she has within and to give. Mike

FAQs for House Sitting - Centerville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Centerville on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,609 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
