“Caralisa dealt with senior dog meds and walks with no issues. She updated me on how things were going, and did not leave a messy house. I would definitely use her again!”
“Samantha was fantastic! She watched my dog overnight in my home and took such good care of him. She sent lots of pictures and detailed updates, and he looked so happy in all of the pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Cayla was awesome! Our plans shifted a little bit as we were navigating travel with our little one, and she was very accommodating. I could tell our pup was happy and well take care of. Our house was exactly how we left it when we returned- so helpful!”
“Amy was great! Stayed at my house with two Springers who are used to me being there all the time because I work from home. They settled right in with Amy and she kept them company. Sent pictures and updates.”
“Nicole was a clear communicator and provided lots of updates while watching our 6 month old puppy. He was well cared for and she left our home in great shape. She even taught him a trick! I would absolutely work with Nicole again. Thanks Nicole!”
“Ari was wonderful! She worked us in to her schedule for a long stay in our home with our 2 active dogs and 3 cats. She followed their complex care and feeding schedule perfectly and kept our pet family very happy and well cared for. She even sent us pictures and updates!”
“Destiny was wonderful. She watched all 5 of our animals. 1 cat, 2 senior Chihuahuas and 2 puppies. That is not an easy task. Upon returning home I could tell they were all well taken care of. The house was clean (which isn't easy with 2 puppies) and she even left music in for them when she left. A kind soul that I will absolutely trust my animals with again.”
“This is our 3rd or 4th time using Adam as a Dogsitter for our pets. He has great communication and spends lots of time with our dogs. We’ll definitely be using him again!”
“Sydnee was an absolute shining star of a sitter. She took fantastic care of my big boy Clyde (130 lbs, Great Pyr), and was very prompt and responsive to all messages. My house was well taken care of as well. I really appreciate how detailed her messages were and how her updates included lots of pictures from different points of the day. I really felt that she took it to heart to stay close to Clyde and give him the companionship and support he needed. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of dog/house sitting, and especially those who need a person who can handle a big breed.”
“Took amazing care of our 3 dogs, cat, and chickens! Communicates very well, sent pictures every day and kept us updated! House was spotless and the animals all seemed to love her. Will be using her again”
“Dani is amazing! She is one of my favorite sitters! She always looks after my dog and home with the utmost care. She sends detailed daily updates with multiple pictures. I never worry about going away when Dani is taking care of my furbaby.”
“Jade took such good care of our elderly cat, and texted daily to let us know how she was doing. She also took care of the house, and it looked exactly as we had left it. I would highly recommend Jade as a housesitter.”
“Alivia did an amazing job with my reactive, 60 lb Old English Sheepdog. Willa took to her immediately, which is rare and means she has the BEST vibes. She stayed with Willa in our apartment while I was out of state, gave regular updates, wasn’t afraid to ask questions, and I arrived home to a happy, healthy sheepdog and a clean apartment.”
“Mahalia was the perfect sitter. She went above and beyond to take care of our pets and we couldn’t be anymore grateful. She was very communicative and understanding about the needs of our pets and we loved having her. I would trust her with your babies any day of the week :)”

Auraleigha was a great sitter for our dog Murphy and took good care of the house. She was a great communicator and let us know when she had a question and sent photo/short video texts with Murphy in them so we knew he was just fine. Would definitely hire her again.
Rosa was so wonderful with my two cats, she took her time to make them feel comfortable and gave them lots of attention. She did a great job of sending photos and providing updates to keep me posted on how the visit was going. I will definitely book Rosa as a pet sitter again in the future!
Jamilah has become our go-to and absolute favorite dog sitter. Our pups love her, she has impressed our neighbors with her friendly and outgoing nature, and she is fastidious about cleaning up after house/dog sitting. She’s communicative, sends updates with pictures, and just all around fantastic. The only down side is that she’s so great that it won’t be long before she’s in very high demand! Regardless, we will definitely be hiring her every chance we get.
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!
Cierra covered 10 days of in-house dog sitting for our golden doodle, tag-teaming with her friend and fellow Rover sitter Jourdan (who we’ve worked with before) for the dates Jourdan wasn’t available during our 3+ week international trip. It’s always a bit scary to leave our home and beloved dog with a new person for so long, and we were grateful to Cierra for making sure he was safe and cared for. We returned to a happy boy, a clean and cared-for house and increased peace of mind that it’s indeed possible for us to make long trips like this happen when we have good dog sitters like Cierra and Jourdan.
Lauren was excellent! She communicated daily, sent photos, and seemed to genuinely connected with our girl Boots. Our pup had some activity restrictions the weekend she was watching her, and Lauren took lots of our suggestions, kept Boots mentally stimulated, and accommodated amazingly. She also left the apartment spotless when we arrived home! Will definitely book again and recommend Lauren. :)
We are so grateful that Maggie spends such quality time with our dog. Maggie was really flexible when we were setting up our house sitting weekend and we felt reassured knowing she gets along so well with our sweet girl. We knew she was in great hands with Maggie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in College Hill on Rover is $53.28 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 631 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across College Hill. 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 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 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.

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.
