“Kristi was great and did all the things and followed k structure a for our dogs care to the T. She is super loving with the dogs and let mine cuddle her ❤️ I highly recommend her for your pets care.”
“Zoey was great- sent many photos of the dogs and took great care of them. Very trustworthy to have in our home while we were away too. I would book with her again.”
“We recently have started using Rover to assist with dog sitting while we are out of town. I chose Theresa because she has a background of taking care of senior dogs, special needs, and medication administration. She was great with daily updates/feedback. We had been out of town for 3 weeks, she assisted with part of that time. While my dog was in her care she noticed an unusual cough. I was able to set up a veterinarian appointment for the next day. She was happy to take my dog to the vet's office. And called me during the appointment to talk with the veterinarian. Unfortunately, it was not the best news but she was able to administer the new medication, so my dog could be on his way to better health. I appreciate her noticing the issue, and taking care of it. I will definitely be using her again.”
“We have used Kendra several times. She does a great job with our two dogs. I never have to worry, she sends photos and keeps us updated. Our dogs love her! She always leaves our house also spotless and perfect! Highly recommend!”
“Alyssa was wonderful! I needed a last minute dog sitter after my regular person had to cancel. Alyssa promptly responded to messages and set up a meet & greet. We were only gone for a few days, but I can tell that she took great care of my two dogs and that they had a lot of fun.”
“Paloma was an outstanding dog sitter. She was extremely dependable and responsible, treated our home with respect, and truly fell in love with our two large dogs. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. When we returned, our home was left neat and tidy. We would absolutely use Paloma’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“We trust Jack and Kate to take wonderful care of our dogs and our house. We have used them twice now during vacations and they were awesome with communication, very respectful of our house and sent lots of photos of our dogs so we knew they were happy and in great hands. I highly recommend Jack and Kate.”
“Sue is the perfect dog sitter. She brings her own food and drink. Stays all day and night. Cleans up and takes her garbage out. Sends lots of pictures and videos and is great with our dog Thor. You can tell she really loves what she does. I think Thor misses her after she left! If she is available book her. You won't regret it.”
“Kelsey did an amazing job with Mo! It’s very clear she loves animals. She is kind, responsive and did a great job house/dog sitting for us while we were out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Leah was absolutely incredible. She stayed with our babies while we were gone for 4 days. No doubt we will have her watch them again. She’s truth worthy and kept us updated. 10000000/10”
“Tricia does such a great job with our dogs, and they enjoy having her here. She sends lots of pictures and updates and has quickly become our go-to sitter for our pack. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was amazing! She stayed at our house with our lab while we were on vacation. She sent many pictures and kept us updated on how things were going! She left the house very clean and even brought us flowers :) I highly recommend Jessica and look forward to having her stay again.”
“Bat was such a wonderful house sitter for us! I really feel that she loved my pets as her own. She kept us updated throughout her stay and was also really flexible and helpful when we ended up in a bind with scheduling. She’s true animal person and very knowledgeable. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter, and we will definitely be rebooking with her!”
“Julia stayed at our house with our two Golden Retrievers. She sent some pictures and the dogs appeared very relaxed and happy! She kept us updated. When we returned the house was clean and the dogs were happy. This was our first time leaving them and I was afraid they would get distressed and not be the happy dogs they were before we left, but Julia took good care of them and gave them lots of attention and the dogs are like we never left them!”
“Gabrielle was amazing! I always worry about leaving our older dog, Bogey, he has anxiety issues and needs a lot of love and care. Gabby stayed in our home while my family and I were on vacation. She did an incredible job making sure Bogey went out when needed, she cleaned up any accidents he had, and the most important thing is she stayed the night in our home, which allowed Bogey to sleep in her bed and gave him comfort all night, as if I was home. I had zero concerns or issues while gone and I hope she’ll want to come back to watch Bogey for us again. Thank you so much!”
“Linda is an absolute angel. Our rescue Fritz was diagnosed with heart worm disease recently and the vet appointment for his treatment happened to be when we needed to be out of state for my husband and I’s wedding. Our dog was a stray before we got him and has a difficult time warming up to people. We were searching high and low for someone who had experience with anxious dogs and caring for pets with medical needs and found reviews for Linda’s clients who also had pets who were shy or had medical needs. Linda not only kept up on all his medications but also took him to and from the vet for his appointment AND followed up with the vet after to ensure he was receiving the best care. I can’t begin to describe the blessing it was to know our furry son was taken care of and loved while we were away. She sent photos regularly and when I checked in (I tend to worry and check in a bunch) she responded immediately. When we got delayed on our trip home she did not hesitate to stay and keep him company. If you are a pet parent who loves your pet as if it were your only child, I promise you your pet will be in good hands with Linda.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 624 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chautauqua. 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 Chautauqua 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 Chautauqua 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 Chautauqua 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.

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.
