“This was a repeat booking for Ross and our dogs. We are always able to enjoy a vacation whether it’s short or long because we know our dogs are in good hands. Great communication and always leaves the house how we left it!”
“Shelbee is incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding of our pets specific routine and needs. Provided regular photo updates to show us how comfortable our pets became around her. We returned to a happy, stress-free animal. We are so grateful and will definitely rebook!”
About: I’ve cared for active, large dogs since childhood and understand their need for attention, exercise, and careful monitoring — especially in hot weather. I’ve pet-sat for neighbors and family, supporting pups and cats of every size. I’m currently preparing my graduate school applications and updating my portfolio, which gives me plenty of flexible time throughout the week. Pet care fits easily into my routine — whether daily walks, active play, or dedicated sitting time. I have reliably house-sat and pet-sat before, always keeping pets in their familiar environment where they feel safest. In a client’s home, I’m careful to maintain their routines, respect their space, and avoid disturbing anything in the home. My focus is on creating a calm, comfortable experience for pets of any size.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 10 years. I am always open to learning new routines and meeting different types of breeds. I have experience with puppies, older dogs and even medically fragile dogs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure their cups are full before leaving them. Dogs have such big feelings and deserve to be loved like humans (if not even more) I am an early riser and currently have open availability. My weekends are pretty much open and I make sure to always put the animals first then my own plans. I cannot care for pets at this time in my own home, but I will be willing to travel/stay at their homes in order to keep them safe & comfortable.
“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).
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoy giving them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and keeping pets company. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I’m currently attending school, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for your pet. I’m available around my class schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep your pet supervised, and make sure they are comfortable in their environment. I’ll also provide regular updates so you can feel confident knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“My 2 boys had yet another wonderful visit with Kerry. Four nights of fun and play. Its nice to come home to Two happy well taken care of dogs. If you want a loving and caring person to take care of your pets, call Kerry. I will always ask her first to take care of my boys.”
“Nicole was so sweet and took such good care of the pups!! She was always easy to reach and sent lots of photos - I would absolutely trust her with our pups anytime!”
About: Ive taken car of, raised, and trained dogs my entire life. Ive always had a knack for it, and i love it. I’ve administered and given more medications than i can count. Ive dealt with dogs in heat, dogs after surgery. You name it, I've learned my way through it. Let me take care of and love on your babies. And of COURSE they can sleep with me 🫶🏼 I work from home and can maximize time with your baby! I can do any weekend you may need, for check ins, walks, or consistent care. Nightly care is optional through the week, as are walks and check ins. I have a no fence yard. I would be walking them when they need to go potty. If you prefer crates, please bring one. Dogs are allowed to roam free in the home all day, and allowed on furniture.
About: I love all animals especially dogs. I have a yorkie poo and I have plenty of experience with dogs I love them like they are my own children. Very patient with training and potty training. Also familiar with pad training or whatever else you require or feel is necessary. Message me if you need help with your furry friends and I will be more than glad to help with whatever you may need. I have a car and can travel whenever need be.
“Taylor was so incredibly wonderful!!! She took such great and attentive care with our two pups that we felt at ease while we were away (That can be very hard to do when you have to leave your fur babies behind!). We received consistent updates and plenty of funny pictures/videos to get us through our puppy withdraws, and that made all of the difference to us. Our home was left tidy, and I’d say probably even better than how we left it! We would 1000% book her again for any of our puppy needs. She’s one of a kind! :)”
About: I had the best childhood dog growing up. We loved walks, playing fetch, just hanging out. My passion and love for dogs has helped me become the designated office house sitter. I really have no obligations outside of work and even while working, have flexibility to go home and walk and let animals out for fresh air. Hybrid work model so even have opportunities to work from home. Happy to do whatever is needed. I do tend to spoil animals I watch, but love long walks, fetch, etc. I’ve helped animals that have needed medicine, etc.
About: I’ve owned cats all of my life. I have many years of managing chronic health issues in cats as well, including diabetes, asthma and hyperthyroidism. I currently have two cats. I’ve owned dogs in the past and have experience with caring for both small and large dogs. Also happy to help out with other small animals or fish. I do have some experience with chinchillas as well. I will love your babies just like they’re my own. I currently work for myself so I have a great deal of flexibility when the times and days I can provide care. Feel free to ask any questions. I will care for your babies like they’re my own. With our own cats we offer snuggles and enrichment activities. We do the same for our dog as well. I actually have an enrichment dog blanket that allows treats to be hidden and found and would be happy to bring that.

He proactively asked all the right questions to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Finding someone this reliable on short notice while staying at a hotel was an absolute lifesaver. 10/10 recommend!”
“Highest recommendation! Penny represents the utmost in professional care for your pets. We had the great fortune of using her in-home pet sitting while away on vacation. From the get-go, Penny set herself apart with highly responsive communication and respectful punctuality. She was immediately at ease with our pets, and provided numerous daily update photos so we knew everything was going well while we were away. Going further, she patiently provided the extra care our senior dog needs in terms of daily medication and food preparation. Penny is everything a great pet sitter should be!”
“Kristin was awesome with our dogs. When she came for the first meeting our dogs had no issues with her so we knew it was going to be a great fit for them. She was communicative during her stay while sitting at our home. She sent pictures and was all around a great sitter. We will definitely use Kristin again in the future!”

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 720 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.
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 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.
