“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.”
“Caralisa took such great care of our kitty, we are definitely booking her again!!! Thank you for going the extra mile and giving us peace of mind while away on vacation🤍”
“Katelyn did an EXCELLENT job of watching our pup Chunk in our home. She was with him most of every day rather than just popping in quickly feed him and let him out. He got lots of exercise and ball time. She contacted us when she had a question about whether a new kind of treat was ok for him. And we came home to a happy dog and a clean and tidy house. We would use Katelyn again in a heartbeat!”
“Rosa is a fantastic house sitter and cat sitter. She went above and beyond to care for my cat and take care of my home. I felt at ease the whole time I was away.”
“Emily did a wonderful job taking care of our cat & home. She sent me pics of our fur ball everyday. She also answered my messages right away. My home was left in pristine condition, and our cat was happy and silly like she always is. Emily did what was asked, she met my expectations and way more.”
“Rachel was wonderful, she followed all my instructions and sent me photos everyday of my two girls, Irish Setters. She let them sleep with her which they loved. My home was spotless and all water bowls were filled. I will definitely hire Rachel again.”
“Sarah was super easy to work with, and responded quickly to any message. We had a meet and greet before she dog sat for us and my dog instantly took to her. She took great care of the place, and my dog. My dog had to take meds and she was happy to help with the extra care he needed. She sent us daily photo collages of him on their adventures, which helped with the dog mom guilt. I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“We were so pleased with Cayla! We’ve tried a couple others through Rover but this has been the best so far. Cayla took incredible care of both the dogs and house. Her prompt communication was much appreciated. After our trip we immediately starting to plan out our summer needs with her because we would love to have her back.”
“Olivia was really wonderful. She took great care of our pups and send regular updates and photos. She was great and communicating with us and very responsive to our messages. Will definitely hire her again!”
“Adam was great and we felt very good about leaving our pups with him! Didn’t have to worry 1 time being out of town and he took care of them great and kept us up to date on everything. Will rebook again for sure!”
About: I love dogs, and can't wait to meet yours! I will closely follow your instructions to provide the kind of care I would expect for my own dog. I'm willing to work with you and your schedule. I'm a firm believer in the power of clear communication and honesty. You can expect regular updates, lots of love, attention, and with permission, a moderate amount of treats. My fenced yard is sufficient for pee breaks and I'm in a great location to walk over to local parks for number twos and exercise. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to hearing from you, and meeting your dog! I'm looking forward to spending my days off with your dog! I'm especially interested in long walks with chill dogs. Always positively reinforcing good behavior with praise, attention, and play. I have a fenced yard. I'm willing to spend lots of time with your dog, doing whatever it is they love to do. My availability is my weekends so that dogs in my care will not be left alone.
“Rachael is a kind and attentive caretaker! She watched our house and pets over a long holiday trip. She was quick to respond to messages, checked in with me regularly, and even stayed a bit longer than expected due to a cancelled flight. I definitely recommend her!”
“Kelsie did a wonderful job of caring for our two dogs, cat, and rabbits. She is very professional, reliable and communicative, and we would definitely have her sit for us again.”
“Abbigail took excellent care of our 5 small dogs, three of which are seniors and some that had special needs and required extra care like tooth brushing and medications. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and he was happy when we returned because she ensured he wasn’t left alone too long. She sent detailed updates and picture so I felt completely comfortable knowing they were receiving everything they needed. She also smoothly handled a situation where one dog got part of his dental treat stuck in his teeth and she was able to safely remove it. I could tell all the dogs loved her too. We would enthusiastically have her sit for us again!”
“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 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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - College Hill
Emily was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! She was incredibly accommodating when we reached out with a last-minute request and did a fantastic job watching them in our home. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly gave our dogs lots of love and attention. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. We really appreciate Emily helping us out on such short notice and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!
Mark did a wonderful job house sitting our dogs! We have 2 energetic dogs that can be a little challenging He did great taking care of their needs and reassuring us that they were doing just fine. I appreciated his communication and picture updates. I would definitely recommend him to any needing a dog sitter.
Landen was amazing! Monty was so comfortable with her and she made the whole experience really easy. She took great care of him, and was clearly very attentive and caring. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands while we were away. She was also reliable, friendly, and easy to communicate with. We’d love to work with Landen again and very highly recommend her.
Jennifer did an exceptional job at watching all three of our pets for 12 days. She house sat in our apartment and had to walk our two dogs every day. She even routinely sat outside with her cat so that she could explore the backyard. She’s incredibly reliable and was very concerned about making sure my expectations were clear to her. We would book with Jennifer again in a heartbeat. Our animals love her!
Jourdan is such a gem! We really feel like we have lucked out with her. This is our third time booking care for our goldendoodle with her and he ADORES her. She gives wonderful updates, lots of photos, and obviously gives Francis a lot of personalized attention, affection and care. Jourdan and her friend Cierra (who is also a Rover sitter, currently staying with Francis and is also wonderful) are patching together over three weeks of house sitting care for Francis while we are away on an international trip and we feel 100% confidence that he is well loved, exercised and getting more than his normal routine of engagement with them. I can’t recommend Jourdan enough!
We could not have asked for a better experience with our dog sitter! From the very beginning, communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, and it was immediately obvious how much genuine care and attention went into looking after our pups. We received regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Returning home to a happy, well-regulated dog made all the difference—we will absolutely be booking again and cannot recommend Mariam highly enough!

FAQs for House Sitting - College Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in College Hill on Rover is $52.17 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 630 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
