“Jennifer arrived promptly & my pup Daisy immediately fell in love with her. I was gone for about 6 hours, received a cute photo, & came home to a happy dog. I will definitely book Jennifer again.”
“Julie was absolutely amazing! We moved not long ago and are still getting settled and we came home to a clean, organized house that is much better than how we left it. Julie took great care of our two dogs and sent us lots of pictures. She said she likes to keep busy and used free time to weed or clean. A dream house/dog sitter!”
About: I’ve been pet and house sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for 10 years now. I have had dogs of my own, and I currently live with two lovely golden retrievers. I enjoy helping others in this way by alleviating stress and making sure their pet(s) are well cared for while they’re away! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of time with your pets! I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays before 10am for a morning walk, and Wednesdays-Fridays any time for walks, play and quality time. Im available for pet and house sitting weekdays and weekends! When you provide the details of your pet’s routine, I’ll make sure they will be well cared for, and the routine consistent! They’ll get lots of active time and attention.
“Rachel is absolutely lovely! My crew had a great day with her. I felt very secure in leaving them with her as a sitter new to us. Thanks for the extra care and fun and games with some trickery! I will absolutely hire Rachel again.”
“Melissa was by far the best sitter we have used! She was prompt with visits and getting them outside. They grew to love her visits. She kept in constant contact with us. Almost want to go on another trip in order to have her again!!”
“He was amazing with our dog. It was the first time we’d been out of town for an extended time and we came back to a very happy dog. Elias was in constant contact an took care of our home like it was his.”
“Ryan took excellent care of our dogs and our home. He kept in touch with regular videos and photos, maintained their routine, checked in when he had a question, and left our home spotless. I know that our girls were loved and cared for, letting us having a care-free time away from home. We will definitely be booking with Ryan in the future, and highly recommend if you have high maintenance dogs!”
“It can be hard to find a sitter that enjoys big dogs. Our big, goofy dogs love Clara! We appreciate that she let us know how they were doing and help them stay happy and on their routine (as it helps the smaller of our two dogs keep her anxiety down while we’re away). We will definitely call on her again.”
“Monique was absolutely amazing! We have many animals and she gave them the best love and care. This was our first time using Rover and she eased us through the process and made us feel at ease. She was fabulous giving all the medications and treating our animals like her own. She texts and sends pictures regularly to give us updates throughout the day. She went above and beyond taking care of our home as well. We will be choosing her for every future vacation, especially since our dogs were sad when she left, they loved her so much! Truly blessed to have found her!”
“Jocelyn was wonderful with our senior kitty overnight. She was well taken care of and happy, and best of all I was comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely call Jocelyn again.”
“Carla did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of our 18 year old dog. Our dog has a lot of quirks and special needs and Carla was very understanding and took great care of her. Highly recommended!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Nazeerah as our house and dog sitter. She took excellent care of our dogs and our home while we were away. Nazeerah sent frequent pictures, videos, and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. It was clear our dogs were comfortable and happy with her, which meant a lot to us. When we returned, our home was well cared for and everything was just as we left it. We are very grateful for the care and attention Nazeerah gave both our pets and our home, and we would happily trust her again in the future.”
“Amanda was absolutely excellent! She communicated throughout our stay if there were any questions or issues. We came home to a clean house and happy pups so I would definitely recommend her to others to house sit and take care of their dogs! We already have her booked for our next trip. Thanks so much Amanda for taking such good care of our babies 🥰🥰”
“Suzy was an exceptional kitten sitter. During her week-long stay at our home, she maintained everything and left our home just as she found it. I loved receiving the daily updates and photos of Lila while we were away. Upon returning, we found a happy and healthy kitten, thanks to Suzy's attentive care. Without a doubt, she will be our go-to sitter in the future! 😺”
“My dog was very well cared for and loved on for 10 days I was gone. The house looked great as well. She kept me informed and provided videos throughout her stay. Would highly recommend for overnight stays if needed and care for your pets.”

Shalene took wonderful care of my little dog. He was happy and healthy when I returned. My house was perfect. Kitchen and baths looked like they had just been cleaned. All was perfect. She is the best I have ever had. I will use her for sure in the future. Kudos Shalene!!
Rachel and Easton left our home better than we even left it and the dogs were so relaxed when we got home. They were communicative and sent great photo updates throughout our weekend away to ensure the dogs were comfortable. They are great guests who respected our home and took great care of our dogs, we can't recommend them highly enough!

FAQs for House Sitting - Geiger Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Geiger Heights on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 733 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Geiger Heights. 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 Geiger Heights 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 Geiger Heights 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 Geiger Heights 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.
