“Chirstina watched my two dogs overnight for the first time, and they already like her more than me. Total traitors. Perhaps she'll come watch them more often!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ronda! Leaving our pets for an extended period is never easy, but she made the entire experience stress-free. She was dependable and punctual for every visit, followed all of our instructions, and took exceptional care of our pets. One of the things we appreciated most was the thoughtful updates and the many photos she sent throughout our trip. Seeing our pets happy, relaxed, and well cared for gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation. What truly set her apart was her kindness, patience, and genuine compassion. She treated our pets as if they were her own. She is honest, trustworthy, and demonstrates the highest level of integrity. We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding care she provided and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter. We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Samm house sat our 3 pups for 5 days! One of our pups is a senior dog with special needs that requires drops and gel in his eyes everyday/night. All 3 pups were very well taken care of and Samm was such a sweet house guest!”
About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!
“Cara did a great job taking care of our 3 dogs. Very reliable and friendly, excellent communication before our vacation and during our vacation. The house was clean and our dogs were happy. I would definitely recommend her and I hope to use her again next year.”
About: From dogs and cats to bunnies, I know exactly what it takes to keep your pets happy and healthy. I’m fully confident with feeding schedules and medications, and I’m always learning more to provide the best care for small animals of all kinds. Because pet care is my full time career, my schedule is completely open and dedicated to providing your pets with consistent, round the clock attention and specialized care. For your peace of mind and your dog's safety, I provide all care right in the comfort of your own home, and I always have a trusted backup ready to help if your pup ever needs an extra hand.
“Linzy is excellent. My dog is a little funny about new people and she took to Linzy very quickly. Linzy pulled out my girls puzzles and toys and sent me photos (so thankful for that). Did a great job clean9ng up after herself and my girl was relaxed and happy when I got home. I highly recommend Linzy and look forward to using her again in August.”
“Jeanine is amazing! This was the first time I was leaving my Pepper for a vacation. The amount of care and attention she gave her was above and beyond. She informed on how she was doing and sent pictures to put me at ease. She followed all my instructions I had left for her. My house looked just as I left it and was neat and tidy. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Jeanine. She is a kind and compassionate pet sitter for your dog.”
“Melli was great dog sitting for me. My dog is sweet but difficult, with some pretty specific ways on how she needs to be handled outside, but Melli understood what she needed and did a great job handling her, keeping her safe, and keeping me informed throughout. Would hire again!”
“Haley is amazing! The communication before and during our stay was perfect. She was so patient and kind with our anxious girls. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable and happy knowing they were safe with her, and we returned to very happy and loved puppies.”

I would be sure to play with them and give them lots of attention.
“Bailey was fantastic. House was just as it was left and I’m very happy I used Rover to find her. I was much happier leaving him with her than putting in a dare care type place. Bailey was very kind and I could tell she cares for pets well.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Girard
We could not be more pleased with Stephanie. We were VERY impressed with the Stephanie from the start, when we first interviewed. We didn't think we would ever be able to replace Zolo's previous sitter, but Stephanie's efforts have us believing it IS possible. Zolo was pretty much the same way we left him, upon our return, instead of kinda depressed like he frequently was with other sitters. Communication with Stephanie was consistent and pleasant. She shared pictures of a "happy" Zolo which put our minds at ease. Stephanie was offered the run of our house, and she was very respectful of everything. We don't travel as much anymore, but when we do in the future, I sincerely hope that Stephanie is available.
Shianna did a wonderful job caring for our pups at our house! She followed all my care instructions, sent lots of pictures and videos, and was super flexible with scheduling and times. She even washed all of the dogs bowls, which was a huge help! I would definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Girard on Rover is $55.5 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 269 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Girard. 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 Girard 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 Girard 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 Girard 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.
