“Adrianna stayed at our home to watch our two dogs at our cat while we were out of town for several days. She kept us updated daily with messages and pet photos, giving us great sense of peace that our home and pets were looked after. Thank you again for your wonderful service, Adrianna!”
“Tommy did an excellent job caring for our cat and 3 pups, one of which is a puppy. We don’t leave them with others very often so we were a little concerned the day would be stressful for them, especially for our 12 year old lab. Fortunately, we were happy to find all of them in perfectly content moods when we got home. They didn’t seem to care at all that we’d been gone. In addition, our home was left in immaculate shape, despite it being a muddy, rainy day. 10/10, will book again!”
“Yelitza was a top-notch, superb dog sitter through and through! She is a lovely person and took such great care of our doggies and home. Our pups loved her, and she sent frequent lovely updates. Highly recommended!”
“John did a fantastic job watching our lively golden retriever, Ranger. He took him for outings and fun things other than just walks. John stayed in our home and was respectful and treated it as if it were his own! I highly recommend John for any pet care.”
About: I’ve always felt a special connection to animals and I love spending time with them. I grew up with 4 dogs, 5 cats, and 2 rabbits, so I’m comfortable around lots of different animals! I accept pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages, and my top priority is caring for your pet and keeping them healthy and happy! I have a part-time job where I work in the afternoons, so I’m really able to be flexible in when I care for pets! I would be able to work with you and your dog for whatever works best for the both of us! I will ensure the care given to your pet is up to your standards as well as keeping your pet healthy and happy while you’re away! I love and accept all breeds, sizes, and ages!!
“Jennifer handled my scared and confused Great Dane beautifully. My dog is not aggressive, but she is timid and she repeatedly got herself scared and in tough situations and Jennifer stayed and above and beyond and handled the situation. She made me feel like my picky, sweet Giant dog was safe, and I can’t ask for more than that.”
“Amber took great care of Archer while we were gone for 12 days! Our house looked exactly as we left it when we returned and Archer appeared well loved. We would absolutely use Amber again in the future!”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job with Chicken!! -- especially given her special needs. I appreciate the communication and pictures/videos that Alyssa sent. Given that Chicken is an older cat and has some vision issues, it was nice to know that she was well taken care of. Thank you Alyssa!!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with three schnauzers and have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all kinds. From pups to senior dogs, shy pups like Luna, playful rescues like Moose, and spunky dogs like Pippa, I have loved getting to know them all. I have experience with feeding, administering medications, and maintaining consistent daily routines. My patient and attentive approach helps me connect with all types of dogs. I love giving them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and walks; one wag at a time 🐾 As a recent college graduate, I have a remote job that gives me the flexibility to work from home. I can take dogs on walks during my breaks or stay with them at home. I am available during the weekdays and weekends to ensure your dog has consistent attention, companionship, and care whenever you need it. Every dog I care for becomes part of my family. I provide walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, making sure they have a safe, comfortable space to relax. I follow their usual routines, whether that’s lounging on their couch, resting in their crate, or engaging in activities. I’m happy to help with anything that makes them feel most at home, including discussing any medication needs in advance to ensure their care is safe and consistent.
“Anne was amazing!! My dogs love her and we came home to happy dogs and the house clean and tidy. Anne send pictures a couple times a day and updated me with how they were. I cannot say enough positive things about Anne.”
“Jessica house sat for me and watched my two Dalmatians, she gave frequent updates with photos/videos to reassure me the girls were doing well. Jessica is kind, caring, and compassionate about animals which made me so incredibly comfortable leaving my girls in her care. She is punctual and great at communicating before and during the scheduled appointments. I highly recommend Jessica for any of your pet sitting needs as I will continue to be a repeat customer 💕”
“Pam was amazing staying in our home with our Cece (Cavalier King Charles) overnight this weekend. We rarely leave Cece as she goes everywhere with us. Pam came for a meet and greet the week prior to our date, showed up a little early and that gave us time to go over anything either of us needed to, texted us pictures of Cece, and left the house tidy and locked up. Cece clearly loved Pam upon meeting her and was very excited when she returned the following week. Pam is a confident, professional, warm person and we will hopefully be able to have her back the next time we need Cece taken care of.”
“Sarah was amazing while dog sitting and house sitting for us. Ajax is a great dog but can be a little needy with attention so she took great care of him with walks and attention every day. Not to mention we had several house snafus while she stayed which she handled so professionally on our behalf! Thank you Sarah!”
“I would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone! From the start she was warm and welcoming to Bentley. Bentley has a lot of separation anxiety but grew to love Hannah right away. She kept me updated with countless pictures and responded right away to any text. She left my apartment even more clean than how I left it 😂 100000/10 recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chittenango
MacKenzie is polite and responsive. She did a meet and greet, and a walk or two before staying for a long weekend with my two dogs and indoor cat in my home. She was responsive and available for all of my over explaining and requests for updates. I have never left my dogs alone with anyone besides family or friends and it was nice to enjoy a trip knowing they were safe at home. I have other events coming up and I’m thankful I found someone I’m comfortable with, and they liked! Wound recommend and will be hiring again soon.
Mackenzie is a wonderful dog sitter. Our dog Nugget is very attached to his family. He gets quite anxious when we’re preparing for vacation and then again as the week progresses. MacKenzie stayed in our home; a first for us as Rover customers. She respected our home to the point where we could hardly tell she spent the week. Nugget was completely calm with MacKenzie. In fact he seemed to be looking for her our first morning back. She truly is a dog whisperer. We highly recommend MacKenzie and look forward to having her again. We’re confident Nugget will be thrilled to see her!!
This was our first time using Rover and I have to be honest…I was nervous! The thought of a stranger living in our home for a week with my babies was something I didn’t think I’d ever do! However, I decided it was time the hubs and I actually went away together instead of the usual “divide and conquer”. I found Tommy through the Rover search and the many positive reviews he had encouraged me to reach out. I’m SO GLAD I did! He was every bit as amazing as his previous clients suggested. Communication was quick and he regularly sent me pics of the babies. Our home was left clean and he even performed tasks I felt went above and beyond my expectations. We will definitely use Tommy again and encourage you to use him for any of your dog/house sitting needs! You won’t be disappointed! 5 star service!
As I am sure with everyone, we feel a bit uneasy opening your home to a stranger to watch your dogs, but from the meet and greet with Tommy right through the stay, Tommy was awesome with the dogs and the our home. He is a great communicator and would recommend him. This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience.

FAQs for House Sitting - Chittenango
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chittenango on Rover is $42.39 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 336 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chittenango. 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 Chittenango 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 Chittenango 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 Chittenango 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
