“Kate was so GREAT!! She accepted a relatively last minute booking for a 12 night sit and was so amazing with Cooper. She sent picture, messages and made things special for Cooper while she was here. She even hung out later than expect when my flight was delayed. Cooper was happy when I arrived home and and everything was in order. I will absolutely use Kate again!!”
“Janine was amazing watching our pets while we were away for a few days. Severus is a large dog and we trusted Janine to take him out for walks and to care for him. Our cat was very playful and rambunctious and she kept him entertained. We were able to rest assured on our trip that the animals were in good hands during their first weekend without us. Thank you, Janine!”
“Felicia was amazing! We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you for everything. We’ll be in touch for another upcoming trip we’ll need your services for!”
“Armonee was great! She communicated a lot with us, keeping us updated with how all of the animals were doing, which was very comforting as this was our first time having her sit for us. She followed the animals' schedules and coordinated very well between other clients and us. We are already booked with her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Ciear , and I’m a dependable, caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities — including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and giving lots of attention and love. I’m patient, calm, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and great at following instructions. I’ll make sure your pet sticks to their routine and feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you have peace of mind. I have reliable transportation, flexible availability, and I’m comfortable with drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight pet sitting. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member — feel free to message me with any questions! I'm available throughout the week to help out with your furry friends, Monday through Sunday. I can provide reliable, attentive care that fits easily into my daily routine, ensuring your pets receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship whenever they need it. I have plenty of ideas and things to keep your pet busy so they're never bored, I also have a fur baby myself who would love some playtime
“Jennifer was good for both us and our fur babies. She sent daily updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were getting all the attention and care they needed. We are confident that she will not disappoint anyone who leaves their pets in her care.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Emmanuel! He took exceptional care of our 4-month-old puppy while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. He followed his schedule closely, made sure he got plenty of playtime and exercise, and even continued working on his training and good habits. It was clear from the updates that our puppy was getting lots of attention, affection, and engagement throughout the stay. When we returned home, he was happy, healthy, well-cared for, and settled into his normal routine with no issues. We truly appreciated the level of care, professionalism, and dedication Emmanuel showed. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet.”
“Angie is absolutely amazing. Took a last second booking and was able to stay at the house and watch the dogs. The dogs loved her, the house was taken well care of during her visit. Would recommend 10/10. If we leave town, we will be rebooking.”
“Talaya took excellent care of Duke, walks and enrichment activities. I think he’s disappointed she wasn’t back again today! Looking forward to the next trip knowing he’ll be in great hands. 🐾💜”
About: Dogs are my absolute favorite! I couldn't think of a better way to spend my days than loving on your pup! Dog walking, check ins, or overnights. I am available for anything to help. I am a travel CT tech. My schedule varies so just reach out to me and we can try to find something that works for both of us! I live in a complex so there are no busy roads and no fast driving. There is plenty of space for walks and playing in the yard. I am also willing and able to take your pet to a dog park if that is something you would like.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, especially cats and dogs, so caring for them feels natural to me. I enjoy spending time with pets, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and will always follow your pet’s routine and care instructions. I’ll treat your furry family member like they’re one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work PRN, which allows me to make my own hours. I occasionally work overnight shifts, and on Mondays and Thursdays I help with shipment at a clothing store from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Outside of those times, I have a flexible schedule and can plan around pet care. I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care and will make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and love they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I always respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll follow any instructions you leave, including medications, feeding schedules, or special care needs. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.
About: My family has tradition of owning pugs and now I own my own pet. I've always been around animals from in my own home to looking after my friends pets. I have taken care of labs, poodles and collies to name a few breeds I have dog sat for. I have the patience, friendliness and responsibility to take care of any breed, age, gender and size. I look forward to making new canine friends and believe it will be mutual.
About: I am a dog lover and I’m comfortable with all breeds. I had multiple pets including a dog and cat that I took care of growing up. I currently have no pets but have recently taken care of friends’ dogs. This has included overnight and daytime boarding at my house while taking care of all walking, playing, and feeding needs. I’m currently working PRN (part time) as a physical therapist and I have a lot of flexibility and freedom in my schedule. I’m looking to fill some of this free time with something that I’ve always enjoyed, taking care of pets. I am trustworthy, clean, and respectful of others homes when entering to care for their pets. I am happy to walk your dog wherever they normally like to go around your home.
“Antonio did a great job with my crew. He was incredibly responsive and thorough. I have a head strong arthritic German shepherd, a pit mix (couch potato), and a relatively anxious/hesitant husky mix…as well as a cat who acts like he’s a dog and attempts to escape whenever possible. I’m always hesitant whether a sitter is prepared to manage multiple large dogs, but Antonio had no issues. We came home to a clean home and happy pets, which is all I can ask for!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are looking for someone to trust completely with your fur babies, look no further than Morgan — she is absolutely exceptional! We were away for two full weeks on an international trip to Dubai and Egypt, and the only reason we could truly relax and enjoy every moment of our travels was knowing that Zack and Gia were in Morgan's loving, capable hands. That peace of mind is priceless. Morgan didn't just "watch" our dogs — she genuinely cared for them as if they were her own. Two weeks is a long time to be away from your pets, and she made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. We came home to two happy, healthy, well-loved pups who were clearly comfortable and content the entire time we were gone. Her communication was top-notch — responsive, reassuring, and she kept us updated without us ever having to wonder how Zack and Gia were doing. That level of attentiveness says everything about her dedication and professionalism. Morgan is warm, trustworthy, and truly passionate about the animals in her care. She has earned a client for life, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want your pets treated like royalty while you're away, Morgan is your person — 10 out of 10, without hesitation!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've cared for both dogs and cats since I was a kid. Even though I'm new to professional pet sitting, I have plenty of experience caring for my own beloved pets and ensuring they are happy, healthy, and loved. I'm reliable, patient, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, seven days a week. This allows me to accommodate a variety of feeding schedules, drop-in visits, playtime, medication needs, and overnight care if needed. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes so pets can remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable. I take the time to follow each pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection based on their individual personality and comfort level.
About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, especially pit bulls, and I’m very comfortable caring for strong, energetic, and affectionate dogs. I understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement, and I treat every dog with the same love and respect I give my own. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for two beautiful tuxedo cats, so I’m familiar with meeting cats where they are—whether they’re playful, independent, or just want a quiet companion. Having pets of my own has taught me how important trust, routine, and attention are, and I always make sure animals feel safe, loved, and at home while in my care. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be fully present for the pets in my care. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I can easily adjust my day to match your pet’s routine, whether that includes early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, medication reminders, or extra cuddle time. My flexible work-from-home schedule also allows me to respond quickly to any needs that come up and gives me the freedom to focus on keeping pets comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of dogs and a designated dog park, which provides a safe and social environment for pets to get exercise and enrichment. I always supervise playtime at the dog park and only allow interactions that are positive and appropriate for each pet’s temperament and comfort level. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. Pets are never left unattended outside, and I ensure doors, leashes, and gates are always secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to their pet’s established routine to minimize stress. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and the same level of care I would want for my own animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cheriton on Rover is $57.72 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 745 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cheriton. 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 Cheriton 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 Cheriton 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 Cheriton 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 Cheriton. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
