“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!”
“Jade took such great care of our pugs! She sent us photo updates and was an excellent communicator throughout the booking process, and during her time with our dogs! Right now both dogs have complex medicine schedules (and preferences for how they take their meds) and she was completely willing to take that on. We definitely recommend Jade and will be booking with her in the future!”

“Ari was great with both of our dogs. She was very accommodating with timing and she updated and informed us about our dogs throughout the day. Our dogs can be a bit scary at first and Ari was calm and very knowledgeable about dogs. Both of our dogs are very anxious dogs but they seemed very happy in Ari’s care. I would strongly recommend Ari as a rover!!”

“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.”
“Ada was great with our full house of pups. Two required medicine and tried to get into trouble but Ada managed it all seamlessly and took amazing care of our dogs. Would love to have her care for our dogs again in the future.”
“Alivia sat for Sage over the Christmas holidays while we were out of town and was fantastic. She kept us updated and took great care him. We always feel a little wary leaving him but it makes it a lot easier having someone like Alivia to take care of him. I wholeheartedly recommend her to look after your pets!”
“Amy house sat our two big dogs while we were out of town. She is a fantastic communicator and she clearly loves dogs! She is very professional and thorough, asked us tons of questions about our habits and preferences regarding our dogs. While we were gone she sent photos daily and little updates. Highly recommend, will definitely use again! Thanks Amy!”
“This was our first booking with Marla. We scheduled a meet and greet and Marla was available and punctual. She has a very calm demeanor and our 3 dogs were very comfortable with her. We have a large German shepherd that has an intimidating bark and Marla was very calm with her. Marla sent me updates and photos everyday and took our dogs for walks. I came home to happy dogs. Marla also kept everything tidy in the house and dog poop was all picked up in the backyard. Marla also watered our plants and vegetables. I would definitely recommend Marla and rebook her again to watch our dogs.”
“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!”
“Sydney took great care of our high anxiety pup for us on very short notice. She is personable and her love of dogs shows. We will use her services again for any future trips, where we just can’t take our high spirited crazy man with us.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - College Hill
Sydnee is the ultimate best dog sitter. Bentley and Bugatti loved having him stay at the house. We provide a packet with how things work and all the schedule/dog details during oyr meeting and greet with him. He took wonderful care of our boys, providing some great photos and an update nightly. We can't wait to have Sydnee back.
Karlie took great care of our dogs and was an excellent communicator in the process. Both our dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. She also left our house exactly as clean as we left it which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Karlie‘s pet sitting services.
Rosa was an incredible sitter for our senior pup and kitty. She was prompt, communicative, and went above and beyond with ensuring our animals and home were cared for. Highly recommend Rosa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future for sitting needs!
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 :)
Caralisa is absolutely amazing. She has sat our 2 dogs overnight for several days at a time. Our dogs were well taken care of during that time. She's so sweet and updates us on how they're doing. Its such a relief knowing our dogs are safe during our vacations. I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their pets taken care of.
Took amazing care of my 15 year old temptermental dachshund and 5 year old mini aussie. House was spotless when we came back, you couldnt even tell someone stayed there. She also watered my garden outside during the heat wave. We will definitely hire her again when we go out of town if she is available.
We give Madeline our highest recommendation! She house sat and cared for our dog and cat for two weeks while we were in abroad and she exceeded every expectation. Both of our pets were happy, relaxed, and exceptionally well cared for when we returned. She followed our detailed instruction carefully, kept our home spotless, and communicated whenever needed, giving us complete peace of mind throughout our trip. It was such a relief knowing our home and beloved pets were in such capable and caring hands. We would not hesitate to book her again and recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and truly outstanding pet sitter.
Mariam was the ideal dog sitter - her care for our pups was so evident. They clearly loved their time with her and seemed so happy/well regulated when we got back from our trip. We have already booked her for a second trip after our experience! Highly recommend!
Jules was an amazing Petsitter! They were super communicative and good with my immunocompromised dog, and made sure she got her meds even when she was a little difficult. They also were great with my puppy who got lots of walks and play time!! When my puppy started not feeling great, they contacted me immediately and gave me constant updates. They were also so patient and caring with my nervous pup. I definitely recommend Jules for any of your dog care needs and I would not hesitate to book with them again!!

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.
