“Christian is the most professional, empathetic, thoughtful, thorough pet sitter I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with. When I returned from an 8 day trip, my house felt like it had just been cleaned, my pets were happy and content and he left half a homemade bundt cake in the refrigerator! Additionally, he watered my husband’s many plants and flowers at least daily- they looked wonderful upon our return and the city was under a heat wave while we were away. He is a wonderful communicator and cares for your pets as if they were his own.”

“Sarah did a fantastic job caring for my anxious pup and sweet cat while I was out of town for a week. My dog, Salem, takes a while to warm up to people, but a few days in, he was begging her for butt scratches. I left specific notes regarding my pets’ needs and behaviors and Sarah followed them without a hitch. Thank you, Sarah, for taking care of my babies and home while I was gone!”

About: I have been caring for dogs since I can remember. I have been trusted with my neighbors dogs, coworkers dogs, and friends dogs. I have a dog of my own and love dogs to death. I am looking for some additional hours of work in addition to my nursing job! I am looking to pay off some debt! What better what to do that than to take care of people, as well as dogs! I am obsessed with animals and always want the best for them! I have some availability in the afternoons, weekends, and evenings. :) I am pretty flexible on my off days and don’t mind doing last minute check ins! I love to follow routines and keep the dogs within their normal routine! I always make sure to walk my dog on a leash to ensure safety!

About: I have been raised with dogs my whole life. I've been taught to treat them like family. Animals are my weakness. I go out of my way to make them happy. I love playing with dogs. Walking them. Teaching them. Most importantly loving them. My house will be your dogs home away from home. They will get so much love here from me and my kids. If they are older my kids no how to be gentle or just stay away. I will make sure they are safe and happy at all times. I can do as many walks as needed. Potty breaks are no problem with my big fenced yard. I do not leave dogs out for too long especially in the heat. We will have play time daily. They will get to sleep in my daughters room with her even on the bed if they prefer. There will be someone here at all times to watch them. I would love to meet you and your babies and become apart of their family. I also watch any other fur babies you may have! With my part time job I have plenty of time to spend with your babies. When they are with me they are my priority. All other activities are put on hold. We do as little as possible to make sure we spend as much time with your babies while they are with us. I have a fenced in backyard and a home they are welcomed in as family. Nice comfy twin sized bed for sleep! They will be spoiled!! I am an early riser so your pups will get to get out and enjoy the weather early. We will have plenty of playtime throughout the day. And daily walks. The pups needs are always put first. I want to be their home away from home. My home is their home and my fenced back yard offers plenty of play time!

“We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.”

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs. Every time I go and dog sit for a relative I always let them know they’re free to stay out longer because I’m probably already in love with your animal. I’ve always taken good care of my dogs and cats and other peoples dogs and cats. I treat dogs as family and just like they’re people. Whatever rules you will leave for me I will follow step by step and leave the dog just how it was before i arrived. Giving a dog company is a very important aspect because dogs need loving and attention just as much as we do. I feel that I am a great applicant for a dog sitting job because I am able to take care of the dog, feed the dog, and give the dog plenty of attention. However, after I leave, your dog will experience extreme sadness for the reason being he’s just had to part with his new best friend. I’m currently in college at JCTC part-time all online! Leaving my availability and attention wide open for your animal(s). I’m available all days of the week and all hours of the day. I’ve always found myself becoming a dog or cat’s best friend. That usually leads to me overcompensating for their needs. If an animal shows any sign of needing something I will literally always stop what I’m doing to make them happy. I just have that thing that animals love. My animals are always fed, always have a full water bowl, and always deserve treats for doing their duties. I’m also a people pleaser, so I’m understanding that different animals and families have different wants and needs and I’m always more than happy to meet those. At the end of the day I want to keep you and your family worry-free and feel 100% safe with me in your place of loving taking care of your alls pet(s).

Kylie is fantastic! She's fast to respond to messages, and very responsible. She provided wonderful care for our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She also watered our flowers, brought packages inside and brought garbage bins to the curb. We returned home to find happy dogs and cat, and our home in great shape. I highly recommend her to anyone!

FAQs for House Sitting - Finchville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 730 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Finchville. 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 Finchville 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 Finchville 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 Finchville 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 with handling special pet needs in Finchville. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
