About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medications, or providing extra patience and comfort for shy or anxious animals. I work full-time from 8–4, which means I’m available for early morning walks or drop-ins before work, as well as evenings for dinner and playtime. Weekends are much more flexible, so I can offer longer visits, walks, or house sitting. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily life because I truly enjoy spending time with them, it’s how I unwind and bring balance to my week. Depending on your location I may be able to stop by for mid day potty breaks, or to check in on your fur baby. In My Home: Pets get a safe, cozy space with plenty of attention. Dogs enjoy walks, playtime, and rest, while cats have fresh litter boxes, toys, and their own room to relax. A crate is available if needed. I have 2 friendly large dogs who can play together inside if you like. In Your Home: I follow your pet’s routine to keep things stress-free—walks, feeding, play, litter care, and cuddles included. I also keep your home tidy so you return to happy pets and peace of mind.
“Melissa was excellent with our three dogs! She handled everything perfectly, and even with two of them being foster puppies who are barely trained. She was patient, caring, and kept us updated throughout. We came home to happy, relaxed pups. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving sitter!”

“Tammy was an amazing pet sitter. She was super attentive and responsive. She left my house spotless and even washed the sheets for me. She did periodic check ins and sent photos of the pups. I would highly recommend booking Tammy. She is sweet and very caring. I could tell my pups were well taken care of.”
About: I’m a young professional that just moved into the area and looking for some part time work.. I’ve always loved and cared for animals my entire life, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have watched and taken care of my friends and family dogs since I was young. I’ve had close friends go on trips for weeks / months and would take care of their pets with great care. know how important it is to find a right person to watch your pet, and with my background and my professional nature, I know you’d feel More at ease knowing everything will be okay. Would love to help out when you’re in a tough spot and for you not having to worry about the care of your pet.

I currently work during the week until 3 pm, but have the ability during lunch to check in and tend to the animals. I’m available after 3pm any day during the week. There are currently two dogs and a fenced in backyard at my property. Ideally would rather pet sit at your location but in tough situations I can use my house.
About: Hi there! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I truly love spending time with dogs and cats, getting to know their personalities, routines, and all their little quirks. My 13-year-old lab/hound mix, Mabel, keeps me laughing every day and has given me lots of experience caring for a senior pup with love and patience. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your pet with the same care, attention, and affection I give Mabel, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away! I am working remote with meeting in the morning, so I can offer early afternoon through evening visits/walks, and can plan for house sitting on most days if you have WiFi I can connect to! I’m happy to care for your pet in whatever way you let me know they respond to best! Some pets like lots of snuggles, some prefer more play time — I’m here for all of it!
“I literally can’t say enough about Heather. I had to go to CA for a doctor’s appt and had to be gone for a week and right before I left, my dog became really sick and needed IV for 3 days. Heather didn’t hesitate. She went above and beyond and took Maggie to the vet to make sure she got exactly the care that she needed. I wouldn’t have left my dog period, but I had that much faith in Heather and the doctor’s appt was beyond a need for me.”
“Tim is awesome! I’ve used many sitters through Rover and Tim is the best! This is the 2nd time he has watched my 4 dogs and chickens at my house. He feeds them and spends a great deal of time with them. He also goes above and beyond by sweeping my floors and washing the bedding in my guest bedroom he slept in. It’s nice going on vacation and not having to worry. It’s also great coming home from vacation to happy dogs and a clean house.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have experience with both large and small breeds. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive to your pet’s needs. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing lots of love and companionship. I have experience caring for energetic dogs, senior dogs, and pets that require extra attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away, and I’ll treat them like part of my own family. I’m available to take care of your pups on weekends. I can also provide house sitting on weekends and throughout the week. Additionally, I can take your pup on a 30 minute walk through the day. To provide safety while staying in a client’s home, I keep doors and windows locked, follow all care instructions, maintain the home’s security, monitor the pets closely, and immediately report any emergencies or concerns to the owner.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 61 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Estill. 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 Estill 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 Estill 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Estill 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
