“Thanks for taking such great care of our pups and house while we had to be away, Emily! We came home to happy, healthy pups and never worried about them for a moment while we were gone which is such a gift. We appreciate you!”
“Brandy was awesome yet again! We will be sorry to see her move away, but are grateful that our girl had such a great sitter. Our dog was happy and healthy and our home was just as we left it. Thanks for everything!”
“Sydnee took very good care of our dog, Gabriel while we were on vacation. Sydnee sent daily pictures and updates about our dog. I will definitely be rebooking with Sydnee in the future!”
“Destiny is great! She stayed with my dog, Sasha, for five days in my home. Everyday she provided an update and pictures which was so nice to know that everything was going well. Destiny also has great communication and responds quickly. I so appreciate the wonderful care she provided to Sasha. Will definitely be booking Destiny in the future!”
“Katelyn is warm, friendly and a great communicator. Our dog fell in love with her immediately and our indifferent cat vied for her calm attention too. We felt very comfortable leaving our pets with her and will hire her again for sure!”
“I'm very happy with Maggie who stayed at my home with two dogs and a cat for 3 days, 2 nights. She's obviously an animal lover and they all like her. My home looked great on my return and all the pets were happy. I am using Maggie again in the near future and am comfortable recommending her for overnight stays.”
“Elizabeth was super easy to work with, very communicative and all seems good with our dog at the end of the weekend. This was our first time using Rover and she made it easy. We would definitely book her again with no hesitation.”
“All of our animals - 3 Labradors and two cats - love Kelsie!! She took good care of them while house sitting during our 10 day vacation. She was great about communicating and sending photos, and we never had to worry. As a bonus, we returned to an immaculate home, as if just cleaned by a professional service. We will for sure use her again.”
“Emi was truly amazing with our pup Olive! We appreciated her strong communication skills and loved receiving pictures throughout the weekend. Truth- Olive ate better for Emi than she eats for us!!😂 We will definitely be booking with Emi again- thank you so much!!”
“Rachael was fantastic! Our dogs need someone who has very calm energy and can read when they’re anxious and know what to do. She did a great job at connecting with them, following all of our instructions and gave us such a peace of mind while we were out of town. We are very thankful we found her and look forward to booking her again!”
“Sarah was amazing and I will absolutely reach out again next time we travel. She took amazing care of our two girls and her communication, to us through the app, was spot on. House was in great shape and I really don't have anything negative to say about either Sarah or Rover. Thank you so much.”
About: Hi, nice to meet you! As a fellow pet parent to a 7 year old German Shepherd mix and an 11 year old cat, I know how much peace of mind it brings to find someone you can truly trust. With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience, my goal is to become your pet’s (second) best friend and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I care for pets of every shape, size, and life stage! Whether you have an energetic puppy or kitten, a sweet senior who needs gentle care, or a three-legged companion with unique needs, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I also have a soft spot for pets who are anxious, timid, or reactive and need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications, and giving every pet the time, space, and attention they deserve. My dog occasionally joins me on sits when everyone is comfortable around other dogs, but she absolutely doesn’t have to come along! I always have care arranged for her at home, so I can accommodate whatever setup works best for your pets. Want to check out my reviews? ⭐ This Rover profile is new because I’m expanding my services across multiple regions in Oregon, but I’m happy to share my primary Rover profile so you can read my 5 star reviews and feedback from previous clients! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra hand ❤️ I’m currently taking a step back from full-time teaching to focus on substitute teaching, tutoring, and pet sitting! This gives me a more flexible schedule, allowing me to plan ahead and make sure your pets get all the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. Whether you have an energetic dog who loves long walks or hikes, a senior pet who needs medication, or a cozy cat who just wants some company, I’ll treat your pets like mine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to be more than just a sitter. I want to be a reliable sitter you can count on, and be your pet’s second best friend! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet and follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual routines. I’m especially comfortable caring for anxious, timid, or reactive pets and understand the importance of patience, reassurance, and giving them space when they need it. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands!
“Elora really helped us out when our previous sitter was beyond disappointing. It means so much to have someone love your pets when you are away. We feel very confident in her abilities to take care of our babies like we would. Will for sure reach out to her again!”
“I am thankful to have found Julia to watch my two chihuahuas! She is responsive, provides updates and is super reliable. She has dog sat for me multiple times and lots of requests pending in the future too!”
“Switched to long drop in visits due to allergies but still made sure to drop in multiple times and spend time with our cats. She sent daily pics and left the house clean as well.”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter from a service and Michell made me feel very comfortable with the excellent care she gave my dog. She communicated well and gave my dog lots of attention. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”
“Claire was an amazing sitter, couldn’t recommend more! My dog Evie didn’t want her to leave! Claire was very communicative, flexible with my arrival back, and was a joy to work with.”

I was in a pinch our planned dog sitter canceled at the last minute. In less then, an hour Syd had accepted a morning meet and greet, and an evening watch that night They did an amazing job with Choncho. kept me updated with pictures of the fun they were having. Recommend them. Just make sure it’s not on the nights I need them. LOL. Thank you so much.
Linda was great! She arrived on time and took excellent care of our three dogs, including our two young puppies. She paid close attention to detail and followed our specific feeding instructions, which we really appreciated. She also made sure to walk our older dog as requested and kept us updated with pictures throughout the day. It was reassuring knowing our dogs were in good hands. We were so happy with her care that we've already booked Linda to come back and watch our gang again! Thank you, Linda!
We have had Jourdan here to dog sit a number of times now, both long and short stays and she’s always wonderful. Our dog adores her and is so excited when we tell him she’s coming to visit. She sends lots of photo updates that show he’s getting his meals, exercise, enrichment and lots of play and affectionate attention. We always feel 100% secure hiring Jourdan to stay in our home with our buddy. We come home to a happy dog and well-cared-for house.
Sarah spent two weeks house sitting our three charges, including an elderly terrier who is less than cooperative around new people. Everyone was in great shape when we returned and the house looked like it did when we left. We will definitely use Sara again, when needed.
We left both our dogs with Finley for a week while we were out of town and came home to happy dogs and an amazingly clean home. Finley is friendly, responsible, and he was very flexible with a few unexpected issues that came up while we were away. We would absolutely have him stay with our pups again.
Cayla was wonderful with Buddy while I was in Scottsdale! He means the world to me, and I’m so grateful she took such great care of him while I was away. Having someone I could trust with him gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Cayla again and highly recommend her. Thank you, Cayla! 🐾
Jamilah is so sweet and very capable! She won over our anxious Aussie/lab mix right away and got her out for lots of walks and ball throwing. She also charmed the kitties who sat in the box to watch her do puzzles. The house was clean when we returned and she has been super easy to work with. We really appreciate her housesitting and pet care!!

The average cost of House Sitting in College Hill is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $78 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 College Hill 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 College Hill 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 College Hill 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
