About: I just moved back to Ohio and I have had pets my whole life and lost my baby a bit ago. I know how they are family and deserve all the love. My dog was older and had a lot of health issues so I am familiar with different medication that may be needed. I’m currently in grad school for nurse anesthesia and study most days from home. I have a pretty open schedule except Thursday and Friday morning-afternoon but can be available early in the am or that evening. Happy to answer any questions. Anytime except Thursday and Friday morning. I have online lectures so I can have open availability during the rest of the week and weekends. I can discuss as well I would prefer to watch your loved one at your home or do day sitting/walks. My current dog is very timid and a rescue and is scared of literally everything so I don’t want to stress him out
“They went above and beyond to understand our pets needs including pre-visits before we went away. Seemed to follow all our instructions effectively, and asked questions when needed. Communication is great and when we got home our pets seemed happy and content.”
“If you're like us, we look for care providers with multiple reviews so we have a better idea of who we're hiring. But everyone needs to start somewhere, and this time we decided to give someone a chance who hadn't received reviews yet; boy did we luck out. Jaina did a fantastic job looking after our 80 pound loverboy, Luca. She stayed in our home while we were away five days, and both he--and our home--were well taken care of. He even got a daily walk (in winter, no less!). Jaina is who you want in a sitter: responsive, reliable and kind. She provided daily updates and photos of our dog, too. We would hire her again, and suggest you do too before people catch on and her rates go up.”
“Matt was amazing! Extremely tentative and very professional. He watched out 2 dogs and cat over an entire weekend. He sent regular pics and updates the whole time. Provided walks for our Golden and was extremely accommodating with our senior dog, as well, who has the typical senior dog needs and “white glove” care. We will definitely be booking Matt in the future. I would highly recommend.”
About: In Kindergarten, my family got our first puppy. Her name was Daisy and she is my guardian angel. We grew up together, we played together, I learned the responsibilities, better yet I discovered my natural connection with animals. I nurtured her when we were scared of storms and picked her up going upstairs during her senior years. Years later our family got another puppy named Mowgli and he is my pal. Raising him was a different task and experience but he turned out to be a great partner. We run, fetch, catch and of course clean and bathe often. I have dog sit and walked for neighbors and family. It would be amazing to get to know your pup! Currently working part time so very flexible. Hoping to have more time to assist in pet needs and get to know some new furry friends. Backyard has a fence and house has a few floors to play. If preferred or allowed, sure don’t mind pets in the bed or couch.
“These guys are amazing!!! I was so concerned about leaving my dogs, normally they would come with us but this trip they were not able to. Theses guys have totally put my mind at ease. I get pictures everyday and text messages a couple times a day letting me know everything's going great. You can tell how much they care about animals, making sure they feel loved and well taken care of! I would highly recommend them.”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover; I have cared for my own pets most of my life, and did my first ever (non-family) pet sitting job when I was about 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals. My husband and I currently have a dog and cat indoors, along with a pair of cats and fifteen ducks outside. My current pup, Abby, has taught me a lot about dog body language and behavior, so I'm better equipped than ever to interact with anxious dogs. I work full time, but can still provide house sitting services if you're comfortable with me being away during the day Monday-Friday, and can provide drop in and walking services early mornings/evenings during the week. Most weekend days I can be available all day. I'll be sure that I have and understand any instructions you have for your pets to ensure that they get the care they expect and deserve. I've also just completed a PetTech first aid and CPR class to be sure I'm able to keep your pets as safe as possible.
“Chloe was absolutely wonderful! Our dog was perfectly comfortable with her and happy in the pics she shared. The morning after we got back, I found her sleeping in the guest bed where Chloe had been, something she has never done before!”
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was 5 years old. Lots of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Comfortable with all breeds. I’m available Thursday- Sunday for any pet sitting or walking needs! I can stay over night or stop in to check up on your pet. I am very neat and will leave your house cleaner than you left it. Your pets will be in responsible loving hands while you’re away!
“Dasha was great! She watched our 14 year old dog in our home for a week while we were on vacation. She gave us lots of updates and spent plenty of time with him. We had no worries when we were gone. Could not recommend more! Will absolutely request her for dog sitting again.”
“Devaneyis awesome! From the moment she walked in the door I was completely comfortable with her watching my dog Micki! She picked her up from my daughters and stayed later than expected when my flight was delayed. She was responsive, sent pictures and truly cared about how Micki was doing! I would highly recommend !”
“After our meet and greet, I felt totally at ease with leaving my Lucy in Emily’s care. She obviously loves dogs, that’s for sure! I went away this weekend feeling no anxiety about going because of that. Emily took excellent care of her, sending me occasional pictures. When I came home, Lucy was very happy to see me, and my house was still in perfect order. Emily is the best💕”
“Kurstin was an excellent sitter, she took care of our pups (120 lbs Black and Tan Hound and a 28 lbs teddy Roosevelt terrier) for 8 days, sent pictures almost everyday. She made sure they were exercised and happy. I would recommend Kurstin to anyone looking for a dog sitter”
“James is the most amazing pet sitter/house sitter! From the moment he came to meet our pets, we could tell he’s a true animal lover and genuinely good person. He had great communication, a fun sense of humor, and loves what he does. I couldn’t be happier with our experience.”
About: I love animals but most of dogs because they keep me in a good mood. I make sure that dogs eat , get the right exercise, and got to the bathroom on time. I also own a dog of my own back my hometown. And we have a great relationship! I know what she wants just by her body language and her speaking to me lol kind of cute. Dogs are like humans. I love to play with dogs. Dogs give me a since of joy and calmness because I know when they are taken care of they trust me. I make sure that dogs retrieve the right nutrients that they will need as requested by the dogs owner. Dogs are my best friends. Safe!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Claridon on Rover is $93.57 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 869 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Claridon. 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 Claridon 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 Claridon 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 Claridon 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 Claridon. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
