“Madison was great with our dogs! She communicated often with updates and sent lots of photos and videos. My boys seemed to have a great time with her which allowed me to relax and enjoy our vacation. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!”

About: I have 6 animals- 4 cats & 2 dogs. I have always had such a connection with animals, I enjoy taking care of them & bonding, I have fostered dogs & my animals were all adopted from shelters. I am able to overnight sit for the fur babies, cats included- as well as walking the animals, feeding, bathing, playing, you name it! I work Monday through Friday I would be available in the evenings after work & early mornings on the weekends! I work from home Monday and Tuesdays so I can provide doggy daycare during those days as well. I do have animals myself so I typically would come home feed and let them out and then I am available all evening! In my clients home I can take them on walks if a yard with a fence is available I still will go out with them have playtime, & still take them on the occasional or everyday walks if that is preferred! I will feed & look after them as well if dog sitting is requested rather than just a walk - I can also help practice things that the dog parent is wanting like crate training, training in general.. I also watch cats so I can play with them, feed & look after also
About: I have experience in home health care for the elderly, often providing support that extends to their pets as well. My experience with pets have been primarily dog walking for clients, feeding, pet/home maintenance I’m currently making myself entirely open to this experience into pet care as to making this my career. I enjoy being connected more with present life, and I feel as taking care of animals would set me on that track. I offered care to pets by fulfilling their needs, wants, and offering companionship. I also intend on extending care to making the environment more hygienic for the pet.
“Kieran and Nicole are amazing!! They are so professional and caring - you don’t have to worry about a thing ! I have 3 dogs and a cat- everyone was cared for and loved ! I highly recommend them!”
“Isabella was so wonderful!! She was easy to work with, great communication, sent updates & pics and took such great care of my pup while I was out of town. She was so considerate of our home & we look forward to having her back!”
About: I’ve been around animals longer than I can remember. Formerly a puppy trainer and growing up with dogs, cats and farm animals, I now have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own. I have a passion for what I do and take great pride in giving amazing care to your pets. I have experience with all ages, all sizes and all breeds. Medication? No problem! I have experience with diabetic pets, therefore I am able to give injections or oral medications if needed! Formerly a puppy trainer, I have taken on a more independent role. I am available full time and I am very adventurous on my free time and love going hiking with my pup. I would love to allow your pet to join along in the fun! Whether you need a daily walk, weekly care, or going out of town, I can make sure your furry family members are loved and cared for. I make sure to build trust and a bond with the pets and safety is my biggest priority! When walking dogs, must be provided with leash and collar/harness or fenced in yard.
“Ashly was literally the best!! We was able to go on vacation and not stress about our fur babies. We got multiple updates and photos daily which I love and the dogs looked so happy. She even took them to the park twice!! We can’t say enough good things about Ashly. If you are looking for someone to care and love your fur baby as you do she is your girl!!!”
“Thea was great with the pups! Especially a 3 month old puppy which is not an easy job. She gave our dog their medicine, was great at communicating, and left the house in great shape for us. We’ll definitely reach out to her again!”
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. I am known as the dog whisperer. It' is rumored amongst pets of the existence of a dog petter who has the most loving energy. Many dogs only believe it to be legend. It is a real live person. It is me the dog whisperer. I have experience walking, administering meds through mouth and providing exercise and treats. There is no pet to big or small. I love them all. I have a rather flexible schedule due to working online. Only times I am not available when traveling for business as host for a travel group. I care for pets to the instructions of the pet owner. I know most dogs that are properly cared for require a lot of attention and prefer to be in the company of someone. I enjoy the company and love to give quality time to dogs. Such as playing fetch tug a war or long walks.
About: I have experience handling, training, and caring for dogs of all ages. As well as, but not limited to, cats, birds, hamsters, Guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, and turtles! I work part time so I have plenty of time to devote to your furry loved ones. I love animals so I would be more than happy to welcome them into my home! I have one friendly dog and cat as well as a back yard. I follow all care instructions given carefully and will love and play with your beloved pet.
“Kaitlyn was understanding about our last minute request, sent regular updates about how our dog was, and left the home exactly as it was when she arrived. Our dog is needy and Kaitlyn supported him and his needs. Fantastic first time Rover experience!”
About: Hey, I’m Dana! 🐾 An Ohio University alum, I recently left a job in sales to work in digital marketing from home under my own LLC. When I’m not taking meetings, I am looking to fill my time caring for your furry friends! Stuck to no specific work schedule, flexibility is my specialty ⏰ EXPERIENCE: Proud dog mom to my 8-year-old miniature schnauzer/terrier mix, Delilah 🐶 I’ve owned animals my entire life and have felt a connection with them since before I could speak. I’ve spent 15+ years volunteering at animal shelters, walking dogs and looking after pets large and small. In the last two years, I’ve fostered this passion into an animal care and in-home boarding business that my husband and I find such joy and fulfillment in. I have worked with senior dogs 18+ as well as puppies as young as 9 weeks. I also have experience in (and continue to study) basic command training. Reactive? High-energy? Happy to help! WHAT TO EXPECT: Patient, loving care - no matter the service. I truly treat your pet like my own. I am big on communication and believe it’s key in a great care. I provide fun, anecdotal notes for your entertainment (and mine)! I have a knack for photography and guarantee quality photos each Rover card. *Boards can expect a nightly day-in-review! BOARDING: We currently take on 1-2 dogs (in addition to our own) at a time for a more personalized, in-home boarding experience. This ensures your pup gets all our time, toys, and hands-on attention! Twelve minutes from the CMH Airport, we live in a very walkable, suburban neighborhood with a yard and six-foot privacy fence, conveniently up the street from a VCA emergency animal hospital (for your peace of mind). We’re also minutes’ drive to Blendon Woods/Hoover Reservoir, ideal for fun day trips upon request! I currently stay at home with the pups throughout the day and will happily adapt to your pets’ schedules. I ensure daily walk(s) unless otherwise noted. We love boarding and enjoy getting to see our aging girl play like a puppy again! I am currently not stuck to a specific schedule throughout the day/week. Morning, noon or night - I’m here and happy to help your pup! It’s important to me that both you and your pup feel safe in my care. I am very patient and accommodating, adapting to each dog’s individual needs and ensuring their comfort.

FAQs for House Sitting - Chillicothe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chillicothe on Rover is $43.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 81 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chillicothe. 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 Chillicothe 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 Chillicothe 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 Chillicothe 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
