About: I’ve been house and dog sitting since I was 12 years old, so caring for animals is second nature to me. Growing up, I’ve had my own dog (and she is a diva) and three birds, so I’m super comfortable managing different animal personalities, daily routines, and dietary needs. I have also had 2 cats that I have shared with roommates! The biggest thing that sets me apart is my schedule. Because I study from home, I have a very minimal, flexible weekly routine. That means I would not just dropping by for a quick check-in, I can actually hang out at your house for long stretches or stay the entire day without having to leave. If your pet gets lonely, has separation anxiety, or just loves having a human around 24/7 to cuddle and keep them company, I’m your person! I am able to stay at your house however much you need me there from Thursday nights-Monday nights Sundays: completely available for 24/7 care Mondays: completely available for 24/7 care Tuesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Wednesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Thursdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 7pm Fridays: completely available for 24/7 care Saturdays: completely available for 24/7 care I will request you give me guidelines of what times you animal eats, much much the animal eats, and how often they tend to go outside/to the litter box. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as regular as possible so your pet is happy, healthy, and ready for you to come home ☺️
“I’ve never had a sitter so communicative and well thought through - Brittni sent several photos each day of our pup, and worked with me through some logistics that I thought might be an obstacle. If you’re anxious about leaving your pup, you should absolutely book with Brittni. She and her fam were incredible”
About: I work as a wildlife rehabilitator so caring for animals is a big part of my life! I have experience giving all kinds of medications including oral pills, subcutaneous, and intramuscular injections. I’ve pet sat for family and friends since high school and I would love to care for your pet no matter the size or medical needs! I typically work from 2-10pm, so my mornings are very free for walks, feeding, and play-time! I can also drop in before and after work to feed and let dogs out for bathroom breaks. My days off are usually Sundays and Mondays so those days I should be available all day! I would be happy to give any medications needed, walk dogs, have playtime with your pet, keep litter boxes clean, feed pets while you’re away, and any other special requests you may need!
“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.”
“Victoria did a phenomenal job of taking care of Rhyolite and Milo, and on short notice. Rhyolite is a puppy mill rescue and can take a bit to warm up to new people, but he took to Tori immediately. We received lots of pictures and updates of the happy boys chilling out with Victoria. We returned to happy dogs and a neat and tidy house. I can tell that Tori is an animal lover and we were very comfortable with her taking care of the boys. It really allowed us to enjoy our time away. We will definitely use Tori again. Thank you!”

“Jordan was the best! She sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day and went above and beyond caring for our pup and home. We will definitely have her take care of our pup again!”
“I am so glad I found Lance and Alita. They were fantastic dog & house sitters. They were very conscientious in wanting to understand the needs of my dog. They completely spoiled him with walks and car rides. He definitely enjoyed their stay. They kept me updated with photos of their activities with him. They also left my house in better shape than what they found it. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use their services again. They will truly show your pets affection and attention as well as take care of your home as if it were their own.”

About: Hi! I'm a fourth-grade teacher with a lifelong love for animals, so caring for others comes naturally to me. I'm dependable, responsible, and understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! As a fourth-grade teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Before and after work, I make time for walks, feedings, playtime, and lots of attention. Evenings and weekends are especially flexible, giving me plenty of time to provide quality care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I would my own. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn each pet's schedule and preferences. In my client's home, I'll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines exactly as instructed while giving your pet plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I'll also keep your home clean, respect your space, and send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Having owned and cared for different breeds since childhood, I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs. I work from home as a Project Controller, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. To ensure the best experience possible, I only accept one family’s dog at a time. This helps reduce anxiety and stress for both dogs and their owners while giving your pup my full attention. I’ll care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐾❤️ I work remotely, which is perfect as it provides a lot of flexibility as well as allows me spend more time taking care of my dog as well of others. Doing daily walks, play games, giving them some love! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if you prefer and make other accommodations as needed.
“Kim was amazing! We have two little fur babies, one was only 12 weeks old when she stayed and, God bless her, she took care of that puppy and our older baby so well! Accidents and all! She left our house exactly as she found it, was amazing to work with and sent us tons of pics while we were gone! I will absolutely call Kim next time we leave town!! Highly recommend!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Chautauqua is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $98 per night.

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 , 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.
