Book her if you can you’ll be happy you did.”

We really appreciate you and everything you did for our boys!”

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 ☺️
About: Im very patient when it comes to teaching. I love nurturing animals and helping them become healthier. I can teach potty training and no leash pulling! Im currently working for delivery services so Im very convenient for any hours! I usually get up around 8:00 am and take my dog out. Then feed him an hour later and then again around 5. He also gets little healthy snacks in between such as fruit or plain greek yogurt! I have a gated backyard and a buddy to keep your friend company :). I also make sure everyone is playing safely and fair. I have an attic room to myself plenty of space.

“Lance is Incredible! Dogs love him! He is on time and trustworthy! Stays at our home keeps it clean and we return to happy dogs and a clean house! Our dogs look forward to him every time he comes!”

About: My roommate has worked in vetcare for over 2 years and has taught me a lot of extra skills for taking care of pets. My grandparents had an Old Golden Retriever, a Border Collie, and a Young Labrador Retriever, so I can handle LOTS of energy, or provide an environment for gentle exercise. I'm working towards becoming qualified to train service dogs! I also grew up with 2 cats, and now have 3! So I know how to recognize and respect a pet's boundaries while encouraging a healthy level of play. I have never lived anywhere without a pet, and would never want to! I'm currently working a Part-Time Job, but will have and/or make time for your pets. Any day, and anytime between 8am and 12am, I can find availability. I have a roommate to help take care of our cats while I'm out which is what gives me the time to take care of your pets! I have dog clothes and cat clothes, allergies will not be an issue for you, your pets, or myself. I have a basic and growing understanding of simple dog training as I progress towards my goal. I am also proficient in teaching cats to start or (if they're willing) stop doing things.

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends’ pets my whole life! Lived with, watched, and have been an active participant in the care of family dogs and friends pets for more years than I haven’t. I have a full time job. Currently off evenings and weekends. Can wake up early enough to provide morning care and after work and evening activities and care!

About: Hello my name is Talia! The job experience I have with animals was attending Omaha Henry Doorly zoo academy working in Madagascar caring for lemurs and bats. I also currently work at a dog daycare (7 years) Caring for those animals made me realize this is the life I want to have helping any animal in need. Thank you for reading my little speal and I hope you consider me when finding you next pet sitter or walker. In conclusion if you have any questions or concerns please message me I’d happy to answer them all. I work weekend mornings through early afternoons, typically from 7 AM to 12:45–1:30 PM. During the week, I occasionally have scheduled drop-in visits for other clients, which usually take about 2–3 hours of my day. These visits aren't necessarily every day, as my schedule can vary. My schedule can be flexible depending on the booking and care needed, and I'm always happy to discuss arrangements ahead of time. I like to be upfront about my availability so clients understand that while I provide attentive and dependable care, I am not home 24/7 and may need to step away for work or other scheduled visits. Over time, I've had the opportunity to care for numerous dogs and have even been recommended to friends and family by previous clients. Building trust with both pets and their owners is something I take pride in! I love keeping owners connected throughout the day by taking plenty of pictures and sending regular updates, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to spend as much of my available free time with them as possible. I also carry safety tools when out of the house to protect me and your pet from any unleashed pets. Even when I need to step away for a few hours, your pet is never forgotten! When I return, I love making up for that time by giving them extra attention, and playtime. I'm always mindful of their whereabouts and well-being while caring for them in your home. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and included in my day—not simply cared for because it's part of a booking.

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

The average cost of House Sitting in Chautauqua is $53 per night as of November 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chautauqua. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
