“Dillon was amazing with my 4 beasts. He was able to help me out last minute and went above and beyond taking the dogs on individual walks. They were very happy when I got home. His dog Bucky was so sweet and patient with my dogs, they can be a little overwhelming. I was so happy my dogs were in safe hands.”

About: Hi there!! My name is Jillian, but you can call me Jill for short. I’ve had animals all my life, from horses, dogs, and cats all the way down to guinea pigs, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have two cats of my own, one of whom is special needs, so I understand that every pet has unique personalities and needs. I am equally a dog person as I am a cat person, and everything in between! Thank you for considering me as your pet’s step-in mom, and I hope to meet you and your furry friend(s) soon!! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which I know many people aren’t fortunate to have. Whether you need someone to stop by and let your pup out while you’re at work or care for your kitties while you’re away, I’m your go-to gal! I have 2 cats that live in my apartment, and at this time I am not available for boarding in my home, just drop in visits.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! 🐾 She stayed at our house while we were away and took absolutely amazing care of our dogs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were comfortable in their own home and getting so much attention. She sent tons of photos and updates, which we loved seeing while we were gone. Our dogs got plenty of playtime every day, especially their favorite game of chuckit multiple times a day! You could tell they were happy, exercised, and well cared for the whole time. Our house was also in great shape when we got back, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave our pups and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐶”

“Our two goldens can be quite the handful but I knew they were in good hands with you for the week! You’re always so responsive and great about sending pictures and updates for peace of mind. Cant recommend Mckinnley enough if you need someone to stay with your pups!!”

About: I have cared for my own pets. I help my family care for their animals on the farm. I have adopted all my dogs. I helped my newest dog through health issues and helped him become better socialized I currently work a job that provides a lot of flexibility. I am available most afternoons and evenings. I can be available to care for your pets almost any time My home has a spacious office upstairs or also a basement where your fur baby can hang out alone, or they can be with my 2 friendly dogs. I have lots of parks near my house that I enjoy walking my own two dogs in. We also enjoy going to the local dogs park, happy to take any social dogs there too.

About: I professionally worked with dogs for 3 years and have experience working with all types of dogs large and small, high energy and mellow, social and shy. I’m well acquainted with administering medication orally and topically. High quality photos during our time will also be provided :) It’s a priority of mine to respect your home and leave your home just as it was when you left and with a happy dog when you return! NOTE: I do not accept 90+ lb dogs that are known to pull/get riled up by environmental factors. I am pretty small myself so I cannot safely handle such dogs. This is for the safety of both your pup and me! Thanks for checking my profile! As of now, I am currently unemployed and Rover is my main gig. That means more time and availability for you and your pup! If this changes it will be reflected here. I will always treat your home and your pet with utmost care and respect. ❤️ I’m in tune with reading dog behavior and language and can adjust my manner to whatever is needed to make your pet comfortable and happy.
About: I have plenty of toys, time, and space for your pet to play, relax, and feel comfortable. Whether they need attention, outdoor time, or a calm spot to unwind, I always follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and right at home during their stay. I’m currently working part‑time, so I have plenty of time to give your pets attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks or drop‑ins on. I also will take last minute bookings. Your pet’s routine will always come first! I take safety seriously and always make sure pets feel comfortable in my care. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I follow your pet’s routine and needs closely. I can give them love and affection, keep a clean environment, and give your pet a calm, safe space where they feel loved and secure.
About: Pets are not just animals, they’re part of the family! Whenever I take care of an animal, I like to see myself in their… paws. I think to myself how I’d want to be treated, and make sure they get the best treatment possible. All through my life I have taken care of all of my pets from fish, to cats and dogs, and even moths and butterflies! Back home in Minnesota, I used to take care of two cats, Lucky and Gnocchi, which Gnocchi is now in the loving care of my grandparents, and Lucky has been watching from above for more than a few years now. I later took care of my cat, Foxy, who has since joined Lucky and both are watching my progress from above. Now, my dog Bailey is at home with two kittens, Ava and Johnny, who are currently being cared for by my mom. I miss my fluffy friends back home, and would love to make some new ones around the area! I currently have a part-time job at Raising Cane’s in Loveland, and I’m trying my best to keep my Rover schedule updated with my work schedule. I’m free for care all week, save for the hours I am at work, but I am always willing to drop in or stay over should the situation call for it. I’m willing to house-sit full-time, but I will need at least two weeks of notice in order to take the correct days off of work. Safety has always been my number one priority no matter what job I have been given. Risks and shortcuts are something I barely even know how to do, and instructions on what the owners want the sitter to do with their pets are the only thing that will be followed (along with basic common sense of course). I am readily available to read your pet’s emotions and figure out their needs from only a few little body language changes, and I will always give them the love and care that they deserve.
“Robin was phenomenal and made us feel at ease while we were out of town. Our pup was completely comfortable with her, and we came home to a spotless house. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again if/when she's available!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and large animals like horses for many years both personally and in professional setting. I love working with animals and even have a degree in animal behavior. I am a full time graduate student in Animal Sciences at CSU. I have flexible daytime availability and am available evenings and weekends as well. I can be available for overnight stays as well. I have an 8 year old dog at home! I can care for pets who are friendly to dogs in my home, but all others in yours! I really enjoy taking dogs on walks both my own and others.
About: I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, plants, and more! I’m very detail oriented and will follow all instructions to a tea to ensure your baby is taken care of! I’m very flexible. I can do overnight stays or just drop ins during the day. I’m a student in school, so my summer is super open and my school year I can still fit in watching your fur babies with just a little more of a restricting schedule. I have two dogs who I love dearly. I make sure to give them lots of cuddles and play with them. If I was in your home I would give your pets all the loves and make sure they aren’t lonely without their person.
“Dana and her partner were great with Angus and it was nice to have that extra coverage. They left the place just as I had left it and even picked up dog poop, which I think is very nice. There were 2 things that stuck me as odd closer to the booking when there were some scheduling things brought up, since they work together they were able to make sure my dog got his meds. I would also have liked to be asked if they could make a duplicate key first or I could have given them one. Overall I would hire them again.”


“Allison stayed with my dogs for a few days and showed them so much love and attention. She kept me informed with updates while I was away, which meant a lot to me. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and my dogs seemed very comfortable with her.”

“Rory was fantastic! 11ish days with my temperamental chi and his 4 kitties... I will definitely be keeping her on my shortlist for future trips! Rory sent pics and videos during my trip to help ease my anxiety of being away from the babies. I can tell my brood had a good experience!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs throughout my life and have grown up with family pets since I was young. Through years of daily pet care, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, routines, giving attention, and recognizing when pets need extra care or patience. I’m dependable, organized, and take responsibility seriously. As a recent high school graduate preparing to study abroad this fall, I’m looking to help local families by providing attentive and reliable pet care throughout the summer. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I work to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve grown up helping care for our family dog for many years. I’m used to planning around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and making sure pets receive attention throughout the day. This summer I have a flexible schedule outside of my part-time work, which allows me to provide dependable care and communicate consistently with pet owners. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks and quality time with pets fit well into my routine. I understand how important consistency is for animals and do my best to maintain each pet’s normal schedule and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their usual routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, bathroom breaks, medication instructions (if applicable), and any house rules. I also make sure owners receive updates and photos so they feel connected while away. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, calm environment with supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, water access, and lots of attention. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level and adjust activities to what helps them feel relaxed. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel comfortable, respected, and confident in my care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Galeton on Rover is $33.17 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,247 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Galeton. 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 Galeton 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 Galeton 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 Galeton 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.

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.
