About: Hi, we’re Eric and Cassie! We’re passionate animal lovers and proud pet parents to a loving, Golden Retriever. 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! We are both very active individuals so we love going for multiple walks daily. During the fall-spring Eric works 7 AM-3 PM Monday-Friday and is available on weekends. We are able to handle dogs big and small on a leash. Eric is a Special Education teacher and is 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.
About: I have taken care of, dog sat and walked dogs for friends and family that are on vacation, work , etc. I have worked with puppies to seniors. I am currently working at a nursing home during the day first shift. I am close to home and I am free in the evenings. I can walk your pet, let them out in a fenced yard, play with them around the house and feed them whatever food is provided for them. I am flexible, just give me directions on care for your pet and I will make sure they are taken care of.
“Amy took awesome care of our dog while we were on vacation. She made sure he got his medicine and went for daily walks. She kept me up to date with pictures. I would definitely recommend her for taking care of your pet!”
“Crystal is great! She recently stayed with our pups for 5 days and took great care of them and our home. She just did a few drop on visits for us too. She is reliable and experienced and the pups approve:). We look forward to using her again!”
“Caitlin was fantastic! Our pets absolutely loved her, she shared plenty of photos and updates during the short stayl Couldn't ask for more and we'll definitely be using her again.”
About: I have been around dogs of all sizes and cats since I was a kid so I am very comfortable around all types of pets! I have experience puppy-sitting future service dogs, caring for large dogs, and looking after cats. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each animal's individual needs. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work part-time, so | have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I'm able to accommodate different scheduling needs and prioritize being reliable and consistent with each pet's routine. I enjoy providing attentive, loving care while keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and attention, and maintain their usual routines. I'm also happy to follow specific instructions for feeding, medications, walks, and any individual needs. I'm unable to accommodate pets in my own home due to a household member's dog allergy, but I'm happy to care for pets in their own home.
“If you're looking for a trustworthy and amazing pet sitter, look no further! Rachel is the perfect choice! She took care of our four dogs for five days in our home, and they were showered with love and attention. We received daily updates and photos, which was such a nice touch. Coming home to a spotless house and happy pups was a delight. Thank you, Rachel! We truly appreciate everything you did!”
“Mike is an awesome sitter for our boys! He is absolutely our go to for our two large dogs. He takes amazing care of them, plays with them, follows all our instructions to the letter, and even walks them. Of course the boys love him and every time he walks in they are super excited to see him which is what matters most of all”
“Andrew cared for my golden retriever, Teddy and 2 cats in my home while I traveled for work. He showed great care and compassion for Teddy during a thunderstorm which makes him very distressed. The house was neat when I returned and he communicated regularly.”
“Susan was awesome with Nash, our 7 month old Maltipoo. We have never used a sitter who has stayed at our home before. She is very trustworthy and always communicative with us. Would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Aaron went above and beyond with our dog; we knew he would after an incredible meet n greet. He walked our dog several times AND played ball with her in backyard. She ate her dinner with him and rested comfortably with him after she tired out! Aaron sent us great pictures and updates. Definitely calling on him again. And it was Christmas, spending 5 hours with our dog.”
“Laura was so helpful with our 15 year old pup, who can be a little quirky. She handled his evening medications perfectly and made us feel completely at ease. We’re so grateful to know he was in such good hands, thank you!”
About: I’ve had a connection with animals for as long as I can remember. They are a passion of mine that I’ve always been committed to pursuing either as a career or meaningful pastime. I have 15 years of experience with pets belonging to family, friends, my lovely clients here on Rover and my very own. I’ve spent time with all different kinds of breeds from tiny chihuahuas to large and lovable pits. I love to stay active and occupied, so no worries if you have an energetic pup who loves to play. Whatever your fur baby needs, I’m here to provide it. My goal is to build their trust, make them feel safe and offer a true “home away from home” experience. I’m very flexible and always willing to work with any schedule as long as communication stays open, and I will make sure to keep you updated with photos and videos throughout their stay. my schedule is open and flexible, giving me plenty of time to engage with your pups and provide them with enough company and attention. I am available for sitting on both weekdays and weekends. the area in which I reside has plenty of property for your pup to play in, and my own little chihuahua-mix will have no problem showing yours around and making them feel right at home. I give treats, praises, quality time, and hygienic care while away.
“Joanne was amazing with our dogs and left the house in perfect shape! Communication was seamless throughout, and she did a wonderful job managing their walks, medications, and anxiety. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter.”
“Brittany did 2 night house/dog sitting for my senior blind dog. She was very nice, communicative, and sent photos - no complaints here! One thing I really appreciated: there is a large gap in the day between feedings so informed her a head of time that she may leave for a bit like 1-4 hrs if needed for errands, appointments, etc (she did not ask! I came out with this and usually tell sitters this). I just dont want my dog alone all day and night as I work from home and am always here, and I do not want too much in and out or just walk ins. Closer to the scheduled sitting, she kindly let me know she would need to step out briefly which I confirmed was still fine. Without me asking her to do so, she messaged me when she left with expected time of return and messaged me when she officially returned”
About: I grew up in a house that always was rescuing animals. We currently have 5 dogs and two turtles. I am fully educated on dogs of all ages. I have house sat for my friends who own two dogs and two cats. I currently have two dogs of my own, one large (boxer) and one small (french bulldog). I work monday through friday 7am-3:30pm. I can walk/sit/take care of any time after that. Weekends are more open to the entire day if needed. We have a fenced in yard but I take my dogs on walks often to get them a feel for a different environment. I restock their food and water when necessary and clean up after any messes.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Earlington is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Earlington
Kat did such an amazing job taking care of our dog Asa. This was our first time using Rover as he normally stays with family but since we were away for our wedding everyone was also there. She was super responsive and sent multiple updates and pictures a day. When we got home Asa was happy and relaxed which is all we could’ve asked for. She also so generously cleaned the house and even got us a card and flowers to celebrate! The extra care and attention to not only Asa but our home also was amazing. I’d happily use Kat again and recommend to anyone needing sitting for their pets!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Earlington is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
