“Great experience overall! He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and very nice to meet. Our home was well taken care of and left clean, and the pets were happy when we returned. Would definitely consider booking again.”
About: Pets have a special place in my heart as I have been around cats and dogs since I was little. Working in the veterinarian industry, I am comfortable working with cats and dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. I have experience administering medications and understand the importance of following feeding schedules and care to keep your pet healthy. I love being able to take care of your fur babies and make them feel safe and happy. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I love to engage in fun activities tailored to your specific pet's personality and energy levels. I want each pet to feel happy and loved while in my care. It is important to me when caring for pets to prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I understand the importance of following specific instructions for feeding, medications, and exercise to ensure your pet stays healthy and happy. My background in veterinary medicine makes me confident in handling any special needs or medical emergencies.
“Brooklyn was the best and took such good care of our pups! She bought our dogs toys, took them for walks, and sent updates everyday with lots of pictures. I would highly recommend her!”
“It is honestly hard to put into words how great an experience I had with Lois without sounding hyperbolic. She was a perfect guardian of my home, my kitties, and my anxious heart. I'd never left my kitties for even a night, and I'd never used a sitting service but was offered the chance to visit my son in the Netherlands for 3 weeks and I couldn't pass it up. I just needed to feel at peace with how I left things at home. Lois was wonderful. She came over early for a meet and greet, and it was immediately obvious she is a kind, intelligent, and gentle person. I have two cats from a horrible hoarding situation who have taken years to feel safe, and they both took to her immediately! My stray, who came to me barely weaned, took a while but even he came around (he is scared of the cars going by the house). She took notes! (Something I always wished people I trained at work would do) Lois and I chatted a bit fairly frequently via a chat app, and she always sent what she called "proof of life" pictures, all of which were so dear. (One was of the kitties waking her up one morning. Such a typical thing in my home, and its normalcy was what made it great. That, and someone just waking up having the presence of mind to grab their phone and record this little domestic scene!) In our chats, just by the way she talked about my kitties it was VERY clear she'd quickly picked up on their personalities, quirks, and needs. The very language she used talking about how they were doing made it obvious she was talking about my kitties, and not just generic kitty language. And she left my home cleaner than I left it for her. While this is not the highest bar (lol) it was so nice to come home after 3 weeks, and an entire day of travel, to a clean, sweet smelling home with clean sheets on the bed! And a bowl of grapes on the counter to snack on (yes, I mentioned grapes and string cheese in our meet and greet. She listened!) I enjoyed Lois. I enjoyed our chats over and above talking about the kitties. She was clearly comfortable and cared about guardianship of my odd, quirky little house. Coming home I would not have known someone stayed here except that my cats were just as happy, fat, and sassy as they were when I left. I would recommend Lois without reservation. I feel like I have added a person in my life that I know I can count on if I need her, and if I ever need someone to care for my kitties it is really nice to know she is there. The comfort and peace she offered while I was on my magical adventure with my son was priceless. Thank you Lois!”
About: I have three very special “puppies” that mean the absolute world to me. I grew up with dogs my entire life but it was 8 years ago I got my very own and since moving out I decided one just wasn’t enough!! Although I have my own babies I have fostered in order to help homeless pets find their furever homes. With raising my own dogs and fostering I have plenty of training and administering medication experience. Pick up and drop off can be arranged depending on location, I have a Honda Pilot to fit the whole herd. Although most of this info is for dog owners, I provide almost all the same services for kitty’s! We have a large privacy fenced yard that the pups are welcome to play in. There are times we like to go on walks at parks or on hiking trails and would love to include your pet if you’re comfortable. I work part time. I will be providing services on days where your pet would only be left alone for a maximum of 4-6 hours, if at all. I provide care for your babies in my home or yours! In my house your pup will usually have free range, we have plenty of gates to accommodate a comfortable environment if our pups make yours nervous from being rowdy. I can also provide a crate for your pup if necessary for sleeping arrangements. Our home is their home while they’re here. We also provide filtered water for our pups due to some urinary issues with 2, if this isn’t something you care for please let me know and I’ll provide your baby with their own water bowl.
“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”
“Jess was great! She was super communicative while staying with our three pups, sent lots of photos, and was happy to come over the week before for a short meet and greet. We'll be booking with her again when she's available!”
About: Hi I’m Raquel ! I’ve been in a home of pet lovers and care takers my whole life! My mom is a dog groomer and I’ve handled and cuddled all dogs and cats of all sizes & have watched & learned to care for every ones extended families (fur babies)! With a small old dog of my own I’ve been able to experience a full spectrum of dog parenting and would love to take care of your pets so you can rest and relax knowing they’re in good hands :) I teach yoga a few hours a week and enjoy getting steps in and hanging with dog friends in the between, this let’s me continue my yoga gig and do something else I love too! I live in in broadripple so I’m near dog park and we have lots of space with the Monon being a few steps away! Been very fortunate to also live in a complex with a park & plenty of space, my doggy is now 14 (ish) so her days look different than when she was a puppy. As far as my clients home I just try to stay as close I can to the routine of the animal and what’s “normal” for them and comforting them while owners are away. And maybe a few extra treats
“The best babysitter for my pups! They absolutely loved her. This was my first time ever leaving them or using this app and she made it so easy and gave me peace of mind. She made sure to be extra cautious with my beagles outside so they didn’t escape. You'll get constant updates and cute pics of your pups. You won’t find a better baby sitter!”
“Hannah was great. She sent lots of pictures and videos which we loved cuz we missed our fur babies. Keeping in touch and knowing everything was good made our trip so much more enjoyable. Will definitely use her again!”
“Eric was great! He took great care of our snuggly beagle and our home. Chester was at ease with Eric and we could tell that he got all the treats and affection to which he is deservedly entitled. We will definitely ask Eric to sit for us again on our next trip.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, a rabbit, turtles, snakes, and fish. I currently have two dogs, a cat, and a snake that I’ve raised and cared for daily—my snake has been with me for 15 years, my dogs for about 8 years, and my cat for the past year. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love to every animal I meet. Whether it’s energetic puppies, senior pets, or more unique companions, always providing patient, reliable, and loving care. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me lots of flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust easily to your schedule. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship without feeling rushed. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I always follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just giving extra love and playtime. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience and care I give my own.

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and truly enjoy caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it's dogs, cats, or other furry family members, I treat every pet as if they were my own with plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I also genuinely enjoy house sitting and take pride in keeping a home clean and well cared for! My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, safe, and loved while you're gone. I am currently finishing my current job and will be available to take on pet care bookings full-time until I start school in September. Once school begins, I’ll still be available before and after my classes (9–4:30 weekdays) as well as on weekends. I’m flexible and committed to providing dependable, loving care and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am committed to providing the best care for your pets and your home. I will follow all routines and instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. By the end of your trip, I hope to be your pet’s new best friend!
“Stephanie watched our dog and three cats over Christmas and did an excellent job! She was very attentive to our pets needs and communicated well with us all week. She went above and beyond, even deep cleaning the pets’ water dishes. We could tell she really prioritized our girls when she was here. She left the house spotless! We will definitely consider booking her in the future!”
“We found Glenn on Rover through other friends who had used him for dog sitting in the past. Based on their recommendation, we reached out to Glenn about a few weekends we would be gone and would need help with our Frenchie, Ruby. Aside from being super flexible with adjusting the stay times, he is absolutely perfect with her! As she has limited mobility -- and probably because I am a very particular dog dad LOL -- Ruby has some limitations that requite special treatment and Glenn is great at accommodating her needs. Glenn does a wonderful job at keeping you updated during overnight stays and I trust him completely with Ruby; I genuinely couldn't recommend him more!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Connersville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 408 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Connersville. 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 Connersville 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 Connersville 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 Connersville 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 Connersville. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
