Grace was a lifesaver for us. My mom's rescue dog Bailey is really skittish around new people, and our planned sitter had to cancel a few weeks out from our vacation. We found Grace and she was a godsend! Came to meet Bailey twice before we went out of town, and you could see that her knowledge of dogs and calm energy helped Bailey to feel comfortable with her. We weren't even out of town before Grace sent a pic showing Bailey sitting next to her on the couch. What a relief for us, and a positive experience for Bailey. Would, and will, hire Grace again with out hesitation!

About: I’ve learned and taken on responsibilities caring for animals, specifically dogs, at a young age. Nacho, my past rescue dog, lived to be about 15 years of age. He needed quite a lot of care in his old age, including joint supplements, pimobendan for his heart, and other treatments. I currently have two cats named Kirby and Sam. I would love to have a dog, but my living situation doesn’t allow currently for the quality of life they deserve. I work full-time as an aesthetician, but with some days off, so if you need a day or a time that you don’t see we may be able to work something out:) I ensure a clean environment with no hazardous materials around, ample enrichment, and all the love humanly possible. Full of healthy food and treats obviously🤪

About: I have had dogs my whole life, and have experience with both small and large dog care. Experience giving medication to dogs. I also enjoy taking dogs for walks.. I currently work part-time, but can arrange pet care around my work schedule. I am a recent high school graduate and will be going to college in the fall, but can be available from time to time to sit. I’m a lifelong dog lover, I’ve never known a time in my life where I haven’t had a dog as a pet. I treat my dogs like my siblings and would do the same for any dog I’m caring for.

This was my first time using Rover and I am glad that I booked with Cassandra! I was nervous to use the app at first but after meeting her and her family I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with her while I went out of town. I could tell right away that she is very knowledge about dogs and my puppy Mia loved her and her family! She sent updates and pictures which was really nice as well. I would definitely book with Cassandra again!

About: I am an experienced pet care specialist holding a bachelor’s degree in Zoo Science, with an advanced specialization in exotic animals and herpetological care. My career in the pet care industry spans over a decade, beginning at age 13. Over the years, I have provided comprehensive services including dog walking, bathing, daily drop-ins, overnight care, and extended-stay boarding for dogs, cats, and small animals.My professional background includes serving as an animal care technician at two veterinary clinics, alongside completing two specialized summer internships in the bird and reptile departments at Zoo Knoxville (Tennessee). With over 1,000 hours of professional hands-on experience with exotic species, combined with a lifetime of domestic animal care, I offer a level of expertise that handles everything from high-energy dogs to delicate, specialized setups. As a dedicated pet owner myself to 2 cats and 2 snakes, I treat every animal in my care with the utmost respect, safety, and individual attention they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! While I do work a structured job, my schedule allows for great flexibility: Before & After Work: Available for extended morning or evening visits, long walks, and overnight care. Mid-Day Flexibility: I have an open mid-shift break that allows me to run out for quick drop-ins, potty breaks, or feedings. Consistency: My shift schedule means your pet gets a highly reliable, predictable care routine every day. I believe clear communication is the foundation of exceptional pet care. Your insights into your pet's unique routine, comfort levels, and behavior are invaluable to me. With my Zoo Science background and graduate-level studies in animal behavior, I am highly skilled at reading and adjusting to a wide variety of animal personalities. I have extensive experience managing complex behaviors, including crate and food aggression, and I know how to keep interactions safe, calm, and positive. Whether your pet has specific reactivity triggers or simply needs a patient approach, you can trust that I will respect your expectations and handle their care with professional expertise.

Joey and Angie were very kind and easy to work with. Joey was respectful of my home, brought in packages and mail, and kept me updated on the dogs while I was away. Communication was good throughout the stay, and it was clear that Joey cared about the dogs’ well-being. Overall, I appreciated the help and care provided during my trip.

About: Hi! My name is Nicole, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Between over 20 years of pet ownership experience and having worked as a veterinary technician for 9 years, I understand that pets are family and deserve attentive, compassionate care when their owners are away. My family consists of a menagerie of animals, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of species and their unique care needs. Our family currently includes an older dog with medication requirements, two ferrets, several bearded dragons, and a crested gecko. Whether your pet needs medication administration, enrichment, feeding, or simply lots of love and attention, I understand the importance of following routines and providing dependable care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and responsive. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am studying for the Pennsylvania Bar Exam, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care routines and visit times. In my own home, I care for and feed our pets daily, typically in the morning or afternoon, so I am accustomed to maintaining consistent schedules and following specific care instructions. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, afternoon check-ins, evening care, medication administration, or a customized routine, I am happy to work with you to meet your pet's individual needs and your preferred schedule. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care that fits seamlessly into your pet's daily routine. I cannot bring furry animals to our home as I have an older, reactive dog. If you give me instructions, I will make sure I meet their needs because every pet is different.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, with the majority of my hands-on experience in the last five years. I currently care for my own dog, Layla, and have also fostered, so I’m comfortable working with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels. I’ve potty trained three dogs, including my own, a foster dog, and a puppy I raised for about six months before transitioning him to my parents. That experience gave me a strong understanding of consistency, structure, and reinforcing good habits. I’ve provided both boarding and in-home pet sitting for multiple households, including homes with multiple dogs and homes with both dogs and cats. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I understand how important consistency, patience, and communication are while owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout stays, and I treat every pet like my own. My dog Layla may accompany me during some house sitting stays depending on the pets and circumstances. She is friendly, social, and has done very well with other dogs during previous stays. I work full-time during weekdays, so I’m typically out of the home for about 9 hours during the day. Pets in my care should be comfortable with that schedule, and I make sure they are exercised, settled, and comfortable before I leave, with plenty of attention, walks, and interaction when I return home. On weekends, I’m much more available and hands-on, which allows for extra walks, playtime, enrichment, and cuddle time. Whether I’m boarding, doing daycare, or staying in a client’s home, I aim to maintain each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, behavior, and specific needs so I can provide consistent care and maintain the environment they’re used to. I live in an apartment with multiple grassy areas nearby for walks and bathroom breaks, along with an on-site dog park for additional exercise and enrichment. I tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. I’m experienced with dogs of different temperaments and can reinforce routines such as feeding schedules, crate training, potty habits, and calm household behavior if needed. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I prioritize safety, communication, cleanliness, and creating a calm environment where pets can relax and feel at home.

Moon was absolutely amazing. We have 5 dogs and a cat. She took great care of our pets and made sure that they had plenty of play time, cuddle time, and of course, treats! She always sent plenty of photos every day and communicated with us throughout our vacation. All of our pets took to her right away and they were very happy and healthy when we returned home from our trip. We will definitely be using Moo. On our next trip.

FAQs for House Sitting - Champion

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 1,421 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Champion. 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 Champion 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 Champion 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 Champion 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Champion. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% can help with daily exercise

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.
