“We had an amazing experience with Adrienne! She stayed with Mickey and kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Mickey was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. We truly appreciated the communication and attention to detail. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Adrienne to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Noa was great! I’m usually pretty skeptical about leaving my dog with anyone. I found Noa on Rover and it was the right fit. I was gone for over a week and had her house sit as my dog doesn’t like new surroundings. He was not only well taken care of, but I received updates and pictures. She was very responsive with any questions I had while I was away. I came home to a happy dog and a clean apartment. I would definitely book her again!!”

“Kristen did an amazing job taking care of our sweet pup while we were away for a few days. She is very conscientious, asked a lot of smart questions to ensure she understood everything about his car to ensure a wonderful stay. In addition, she sent detailed notes and pics after every visit to keep us informed. She even confirmed whether it was ok to keep those frequent communications throughout the day or if we preferred less. The pics she sent, our boy looked very happy. In addition, she’s very nice, warm and friendly. I highly recommend working with her.”

About: I have cared for pets of my own since I was 7 years old. Dogs mostly, but also cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, and fish. Now I am a mature, reliable professional who loves pets as much as ever, but unfortunately my living situation is not ideal to have my own right now. I look forward to connecting with folks who need an assist in caring for their animals and loving them as if they were my own. My schedule is somewhat flexible with plenty of early morning and afternoon availability, as well as evenings opening up at 9 or 10 pm. This is true 7 days a week with 2 rotating days off each week. I typically have one 3-day weekend available each month. My place is not conducive to have your pets stay. But I am happy to come to you, whether for a walk, a feeding, playtime, some combination of all of the above. I also welcome the opportunity to stay over in your home if the need arises and trust has been established.

“Rochelle was absolutely amazing with my pets! She cared for my dog Blu and my cat Sam like they were her own. From the moment she arrived, she kept in constant contact, sending me regular updates, adorable photos, and sweet videos that showed just how happy and relaxed they were. Blu looked so content on his walks, and Sam—who can be a bit particular—was clearly at ease. Rochelle’s attention to detail, warmth, and reliability gave me complete peace of mind. I came home to two very happy fur babies. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.”

About: I have been taking care of my own personal dogs since I was 12 and have had other family members and people in my community rely on me to provide care to their pets. I am currently a full time college student and working a part time job, but I have lots of time throughout the day sectioned off that I am free to take care of your pets! I I have two dogs of my own, so I understand the lifestyle. I am very understanding and receptive when it comes to special requests or certain routines, I will always respect what the owner wants for their fur baby. Feel free to reach out and communicate if you need anything special from me, I’m more than happy to oblige!

About: I’m retired with lots of flexibility, and care for one dog at a time—so your pup gets my full attention! I specialize in skittish, senior, and special-needs dogs. A client once called me The Pet Whisperer, and I strive to live up to that every day. Each stay begins with a Meet & Greet to ensure a great fit. I stay current on pet safety, first aid, and behavior through professional training. Caring for animals has been my passion since childhood, and friends and family regularly trust me with their pets—from daily walks to extended stays. My schedule adapts to your pet’s needs. I care for one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention, affection, and cuddles. I never rush—each visit includes time to bond, play, and build trust. Walks and drop-ins are unhurried, with extra time for love and connection. Pets are welcome on the furniture—just please ensure their nails are trimmed. Currently accepting recurring walks only. I respect your pet’s routine and emotional needs, keeping a detailed log and sharing photos or videos for your peace of mind. A couple I’ve worked with for 3 years recently traveled to Europe, and my daily updates helped them feel confident their dog was happy, safe, and relaxed.

About: While I’m newer to professional pet care, I have plenty of love and attention to give your furry family member! I’m happy to walk, play with, cuddle, and care for your dog as if they were my own. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll always treat them with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and send plenty of updates and pictures along the way. My goal is simple: you feel comfortable while you’re away, and your pup gets a new friend who is genuinely excited to see them. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I have flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s usual routine whenever possible, whether they need an energetic walk or just some company and attention while their person is away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, respect your pet’s normal routine and boundaries, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates during visits so you know how your pet is doing.

I was reassured by the daily pictures and updates and could see for myself how comfortable my dogs were with Devon. He's such a nice guy with a calm energy. He took great care of the house and left everything as neat as a pin when he left. Would definitely recommend and we will be using Devon again for other trips.”

About: Hello, my name is Danielle. I used work as a veterinary technician and I am looking to drop in pet sit and walk pets on my off time. I personally have 3 dogs and 4 cats so I am very much used to taking care of pets on a daily basis. I am also experienced in pet first aid and dog/cat CPR experienced. I can also watch small caged animals in my home. I have experience with some exotics and small 'pocket' pets. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thank you! In the mornings I make sure all of my pets are taken care of then after my kids are off to school I am available to come check in on your fur babies! I always make sure doors are shut and fences are secure for outside time. I always make sure leashes fit snuggly to reduce the risk of a leash slip.

About: Hello there, I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have had my own dogs for the last 15 years, and love taking care of and interacting with all animals. I have experience with training dogs to leash walk, taking them outside to the dog park, taking them to the beach for a swim, and playing fetch with a slobbery tennis ball. LOL I also have plenty of experience loving on cats (ones that are ok with cuddles, that is!), and playing chase the wand. I have pet sat mice, hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even a chameleon and a bearded dragon! I love small, large, and in between size animals and there are no breeds that I refuse to work with or for. Allow me to play, walk, and take care of your animals as if they were my own. I will send text updates and pictures to help ease your mind. I assure you, we will be best friends in no time! Please note that while pet sitting at your home, I will likely have my 12 year old child with me. I will never leave my child alone in your home, I will always take them with me if I need to run an errand. I have an open schedule and plenty of time to take care of whatever is needed. Morning, afternoon, and night walks or visits are no problem! I will come into your home to care for your animals so that they will be most comfortable. I will feed, walk, play, and clean up after your animals as if they were my own and it was my home.

About: My family got our first dog when I was four. Since then I have always had a dog. Right now I have a beagle mix, Maltese, and chocolate lab puppy. I have watched both dogs and cats. I am free on the weekends, but I can also pop in during the week in the afternoon around two or later. Occasionally before then. I pay close attention to the details of my instructions when I watch pets. I also like to send undated and pictures to the owners.

About: I have over 20 years of personal pet experience as well as about 3 years of professional volunteering experience with the human society and other organizations . I myself have a wonderful Bernedoodle who is full of energy and always knows how to have fun. From giving medication, to grooming, exercise and playing, I have the experience needed to be your pets best friend! I enjoy the outdoors and taking my dog Mickey on hikes and long walks through the local parks so he can enjoy all the smells and stretch his legs. If given the chance to spend quality time with your pets, I will personally make sure your pet is happy and loved while in my care. I can't wait to meet you and look forward to being your pets best friend when you're away! Recently moved to the area, working from my home and phone. This gives me the availability to spend more time with your dog as well as my own. I always make sure all doors are closed and everything is left the way it was before I arrived. I keep my dogs on their leash before and after leaving and arriving back from a walk to keep them safe.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was around the age of 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, administer medicine to and bathe their pets. I love dogs of all sizes and have taken care of dogs of all sizes as well. I am currently an athletic trainer intern with the Brewster Whitecaps so most of my afternoons are dedicated to the league. I am available in the early mornings to the early afternoons for pet care pretty much everyday of the week! I usually spend the majority of my day with the pets to make sure they don't feel alone if I am taking care of them. Most of the time I will stay in clients homes and since I am renting here I will not have permission to take pets home with me.

We were very happy when Nadine agreed to come and watch our pup again!! This was our second time having her as a pet sitter, and she did a wonderful job!! We felt very comfortable leaving our pup in her hands. She took great care of him and sent us regular updates and pics! She took him on nice, long walks and gave him meds when needed. It was so nice to come home to a happy pup and a clean house. We will definitely be asking Nadine to pet sit for us again in the future!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Hannah! She took care of our Boh as if he were her own, making sure he was fed, let outside to use the restroom, and given plenty of love and snuggles while we were away. ❤️ Hannah followed all of our directions exactly as written, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she also took great care of our home while we were gone. When an unforeseen circumstance came up and we needed to add an extra day, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. It was clear that Boh was happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her hands. We would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter. We definitely hope to have her watch Boh again in the future! 🐾

Anna was INCREDIBLE at staying with our 7 month old puppy Daphne while we were out of town for a few days. At this age, we worry so much when leave her alone for too long, especially since she is still being potty trained. We pre-discussed Daphne’s daily routine and quirks at this puppy stage and felt that Anna really understood that. Overall, we felt so at ease knowing Daphne was with Anna who kept us updated with messages and photos, and moreso when we saw a photo of Daphne completely relaxed and content. Highly recommend!

Amanda bonded with my cat immediately. He is a 'super senior' in good health, but he gets quite needy when we go away, which is why I needed a sitter who truly understands cats, and Amanda is that person! She took great care of him and the house. Having a peace of mind while away is invaluable. Thank you again, Amanda, for your kind care of our needy little guy, and your excellent communication.

James has been watching my dogs for years now (maybe 8-9 years), and he is absolutely phenomenal. It means so much to have a dog sitter you can truly trust, not only with your beloved pets, but also in your home. He takes wonderful care of both my dogs, one of whom is elderly, needs medication and extra attention, and requires very careful handling around other dogs and people due to reactivity. James manages their needs with so much patience, understanding, and grace. He is just amazing. I highly, highly recommend James. He’s the best!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ceresville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Ceresville is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $77 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 pet’s 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 October 2026, there are 2,641 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ceresville. 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 Ceresville 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 Ceresville 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 Ceresville 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
