“Dustin walks my dog daily, and this was his first time watching him at my place. He did an incredible job and is super flexible and easy to work with. My (giant) dog loves him, and he took great care of the place. Highly recommend.”
“Kaitlyn was amazing with Melvin! She came in very last minute to help care for him when I had multiple competing priorities. She kept him calm and happy and took him on a great walk. Very happy!”
“Kat is the best dog/house sitter we have ever experienced. I am a hover mom, it is something I am working to overcome. We have never had a bad experience using Rover, but we had bad experiences before finding Rover, which lead to me becoming a hover mom. The first night we were away, poor Kat had so many phone calls from me. But we have cameras for just the dogs, again we have had serious issues so you have to cut me some slack. I could see Kat taking such good care of the girls. She took them to the park on the one and only day it was not raining. Because it was raining Kat had the extra difficult task of keeping our wood floors paw print free, and she did a great job. The girls were loved up a lot. The older dog, Thelma, was carried up the stairs every night. Thank God Kat is strong because Thelma is large and in charge. Louise can be a brat, but she grew very close to Kat quickly. Kat remembered to put a leash on Louise who is a runner every time and to lock the door every time. Louise needs time out in her playpen when she gets too tired, she is a small dog who thinks she is so big. Kat is the only sitter we have ever hired that understood a cranky furbaby is just like a cranky child, they need their own place and space to chill out. Kat used the playpen just the right amount of time. Kat also used just the right timing and amount of medication to control Thelma's bone pain. Honestly, I would be hard pressed to find even the smallest concern about the care the girls received. We will definitely be hiring Kat again very soon. The girls got too clingy due to Covid restrictions so we plan to take more short overnight trips just to get a break from being furbaby parents. The sleep in does us good. She even gave the girls a treat and the special note when she left was just adorable. I hope after this raving review Kat is available for us, but I really just want all animals to have a a great sitter experience. Kat will give you this experience.”
“Bev was super attentive to our pups!! She was also very communicative, sending us updates and photos daily of what the dogs were up to and responding quickly when we had questions. She really took great care of our dogs and we will be using her anytime we need a dog sitter. She's part of the family now! She's the best!!”
“Morgan was amazing and took such great care of our dogs AND house. She was very communicative with us while we were away which is so important to me and just overall a great and trustworthy person. 10/10 would highly recommend.”

We understand that pets are family, and we know how important it is to find someone you can trust with their care. We would love the opportunity to provide your furry friends with the attention, affection, and care they deserve while giving you peace of mind. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to your pet's routine, we’ll treat them as if they were our own. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 Eric is currently only taking grad classes over the summer so his schedule is very flexible. We are both very active individuals so we love going for multiple walks daily and would love to fit your pet into our cadence. Eric am 6'4 and able to handle dogs big and small on a leash. As a Special Educator (and dog owner), I am familiar with positive reinforcement and use it when walking dogs. Cassie has grown up taking care of her neighbors animals while they were on vacation and loves to spend time playing with them, sitting with them and getting their energy out.
“Juliette was so responsive with the lead-up to her watching my cat, Artemis. She contacted me about how Artemis was doing during each visit and she was so kind. I would recommend booking her because she really made sure Artemis was well looked after.”
“Kristy did an excellent job caring for my Sadie and Jumper while I was away. She kept me updated with photos and texts to let me know how they were doing, and I could tell they were enjoying themselves and well taken care of. This was the first time I’ve left both dogs and was happy to be able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in good hands. My home was nice and tidy when I returned. I will definitely call her again and highly recommend her. Thank you!”
“Stefanie was absolutely amazing! She was super flexible with some last minute changes and took excellent care of our menagerie of pets. We are looking forward to booking with her again in the near future.”

About: Hello! My name is Gabrielle, and I am an incoming freshman in college. I have been raised around cats and dogs, so caring for them is second nature to me. For the past year, I have been professionally working as a shift leader in a dog and cat boarding establishment. I have care experience with seniors, puppies, medical issues, administering medication (including insulin), special needs, reactivity, and aggression. On the days I have work, I'm there from opening or until closing, always for 7-8 hours. Which means I can be with your pet all morning or all night! I will make you aware of any additional appointments I have prior to booking. No matter what, I will always do a morning and nightly check-in when house sitting. On the days I don’t have work, my day will be committed to your pets! I can always do overnights. I will always offer multiple complimentary meet and greets. I want you and your pets to feel comfortable in trusting my care! When pet sitting overnight, I can take care of any other household chores that may need to be done on a day-to-day basis.
About: I've had pets my whole life and currently have a cat who I love taking care of! I also am comfortable taking care of dogs. I work part time with flexible hours so I have lots of free time to take care of your pet! I'm free most mornings, afternoons and evenings. When I take care of a dog I'll take them for walks, clean up after them, play with them, and make sure they have food, water and plenty of attention.
“Shannon did a fantastic job staying at my house for the weekend. She took excellent care of my two dogs and cat - even sending me lots of fun pictures. I will definitely plan to rebook Shannon in the future.”
About: A former doggie dad, I am a responsible, attentive adult who will provide top care for your family. A fenced-in yard and open space in my home are perfect for your dog to relax and have fun. Also active I will enjoy taking your dog for guided walks, runs and plenty of outdoor time. Your home or mine, I will think of your dog like they are family and will respect your privacy and provide the love and affection I would have wanted for my own dog.

About: Let’s be real: your dog deserves a break that’s actually fun! I’m here to make sure they get exactly that. I used to work at a veterinary hospital but now I just sub so I’m the person who naturally notices the "little things," but when I’m walking your pup, it’s all about the good stuff—fresh air, tail wags, and a serious amount of attention!!! I’ll keep you in the loop with plenty of cute photo updates so you don’t feel like you’re missing out. This isn't just a job for me; I converse, love and care for each dog or cat as my own. I work part time at a vet clinic, which gives me a flexible schedule for mid-day walks and weekend adventures! Whether your pup needs a quick potty break or a stroll to burn off energy, I’m here to make sure they get exactly what they need while you’re busy. Getting out with your dog is the best part of my day. Since I work in a veterinary environment, safety is second nature to me. I’m the person who double-checks the leash, keeps a sharp eye on surroundings, and makes sure the water bowl is always fresh. I treat your home with respect and your pet like they’re my own. Expect plenty of cute photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun we're having!

When i’m not at work, I’d love to hang out with your pet! While I am not offering boarding, I could absolutely take your pet for a car ride if they like them! We'll have a jam session together.

I cannot imagine anyone being better than Reanna was for our home and fur babies. Her communication and faithfulness were exceptional! Our animals were well taken care of and were comfortable with her. Right from the first day i felt relieved and confident that we left them in such good hands. She sent great pictures and updates. She played with them. And she handled challenges like a pro! She is my first call if I need someone again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Earlington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Earlington on Rover is $71.55 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,306 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Earlington. 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 Earlington 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 Earlington 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 Earlington 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 Earlington. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
