Veronica was a pleasure to work with. She took special care of our Izzy while we were on a family trip to Montana. My baby doesn't take to many people but, they got along great. Veronica was nice enough to send me a text now and then to ease my stress of leaving Izzy behind. (first time apart) I look forward to having Veronica stay with our girl again on a future trip. SD

We were blown away by Victoria’s professional job with our 6 pets while we were gone for 4 nights and 5 days! They all had medications or supplements. The 2 labs had walks each day that weather permitted. The house was vacuumed and the bed was laundered and made! She had a report card for each pet! I highly recommend Victoria for any of your fur babies! 😊🦮🐈🦮🐕🐈🐈‍⬛

About: Born & raised in Texas, recently moved to the area, grew up with/around animals my whole life; Having over 20 years of experience with a variety of breeds from livestock, outdoor to full indoor fur babies I'm capable and reliable to take the best care of your lil' one! I’m quick on my feet and ready to take on any task. Lately I have transitioned into working more from home which gives me plenty of free time during the days & evenings either to drop by and check in or go for a nice long walk/run to exercise your pet or just stick to their normal active routine if they have one. You can rest assured that if you happen to be out of town that the regimen you set will be strictly followed- I’m always happy to send candid updates via pics/vids of your lil one when you’re missing them. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns; I am delighted to answer any that you may have! Currently working from home, I have ample opportunity to tend to your fur babies needs at any given time during the day/evening. If you are looking for someone with a flexible schedule who is willing to drop what they are doing to check on your loved one, then I'm the right sitter for you. Whether it is taking care of paws or claws, I genuinely will provide the best level of care regarding your fuzzy family member with the highest regard making sure their routine stays uninterrupted. If your dog loves to run, then we will run! Also more than happy to relax and chill with the low energy types while still having that playful interaction if they're in the mood.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 25 plus years and I currently help out rescues in my spare time. All animals need love patience and guidance from their caregivers. My heart has always been with dogs/animals .Your pet will be so loved and cared for and I have plenty of references you can call. I currently work full time and I’m out by 4 pm. You can call and we can discuss details of what times you will need. I have done long vacations for a client so I’m willing to work with the schedules you need. I have a very big fenced in yard and double lot! I live in millcreek in a nice safe area. My home inside is set up nice where I have door gates to separate if needed. I own one pup now that will be turning one year old soon and could use a sweet friend!

About: With over a decade of hands‑on animal‑care experience, I bring a calm, knowledgeable approach to every pet I work with. I’m a Zoo Science major with training in behavior observation, enrichment planning, and safe handling techniques. I also train service dogs, so I’m comfortable with structured routines, behavior cues, and dogs who need a little extra patience. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior needing slow, gentle care, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy. I’m currently a full-time student with plenty of flexible time outside of class. I’m available on weekends and throughout weekdays between classes, making it easy to fit in walks, playtime, or drop-in visits whenever your pup needs me. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether in my care or yours, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment, follow routines closely, and give extra patience, love, and attention to build trust and ensure your furry friend feels secure.

About: I've always been an animal lover and have spent years caring for pets for family, friends, neighbors, and my dad's clients. Being the person people trust with their pets is something I take seriously and truly enjoy. I love getting to know each pet's personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, cat care, or house sitting, I treat every pet like part of the family. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Right now, I have an open and flexible schedule while I’m looking for work, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. I offer dependable, detail-oriented pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals such as rabbits, reptiles, and fish. My approach is centered on consistency, safety, and comfort following each pet’s routine closely while providing calm, attentive care. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walks, or companionship, I make sure every pet feels relaxed, respected, and cared for like family.

Kayla is amazing! She took excellent care of my doggos, sent pictures every day, followed instructions to a tee. One of my doggos got sick from doggy daycare and she called me immediately, took them to the vet, gave them meds, and made arrangements for the dogs to be cared for while she worked. She is OUTSTANDING!!!!!!

About: I’ve been dog/cat/house sitting since I was about 14! What started out as something I could do for a little extra money quickly turned into something I have a strong passion for and through that I have gained reliable clients and relationships! I have been taking care of many animals through those years and have grown to appreciate each breed as their own individual! Though I’m not specialized in animal care my love, vigilance and passion for helping and taking care of animals makes up for that. I’ve had three cats and a big dog. My latest cat is blind so I’m familiar with some medical care as well! And if you have a reptile (no venomous) no worries! I have experience with them as well as I have my own leapord gecko! I know everyone wants someone loving, reliable and trustworthy to watch over their fur babies and I will not disappoint! On a typical day in the summer I usually have off as I work full time during the school year. Which leaves me free during the day and night for visits or to watch over night. I am free to watch, walk or just play with your fur baby at any time! I typically will do a no charge visit prior to me meeting a new client and animal/s to get a feel for their environment and how your day to day typically runs so I know their routine. I try not to disrupt their normal routine as much as possible! Once we have established the routine I will follow it depending on your specifications! I have experience with all shapes and sizes. I typically bring in mail and packages, water plants and light cleaning if you so desire. It’s all what you’d like! It’s you and your fur babies world I’m just living in it!

About: I love animals just as much as I love my family. I’ve had pets my whole life and have cared for more than I’ve owned. I’ve had a variety of animals. I’ve had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds (parakeets, cockatiels and I babysat an African Grey Parrot in my home for a year), snakes, a scorpion, hermit crabs, fish, a rabbit, a turtle and a jumping spider. I also volunteered at a Wildlife Rescue in Austin Tx, where I helped care for birds, opossums (my favorites!), rabbits, raccoons, skunks, etc. I fed baby birds and tube fed baby opossum (I had to insert the tube down their throats to feed them due to the way they suckle in their mother’s pouch). I have experience caring for sick and injured pets, including diabetic cats and other ill animals. I’ve given medicines orally and through injections, such as administering fluids under the skin with an IV and giving insulin shots. I have a disabled cat whose back legs don’t work properly due to an injury she sustained as a kitten, before we adopted her. Several of my pets have lived to be 20, so I also have plenty of experience with sweet, older animals. My dog is a bit of a nervous traveler and is terrified of loud noises and car rides; he has severe anxiety, so he sometimes needs medication to help him feel comfortable. I found out that I’m autistic (formerly called Asperger’s) a few years ago. I always thought I was just different/weird! 😆 I also have OCD and ADHD, which means I really take good care of your pets and will keep everything tidy! I’m also passionate about houseplants and would be happy to care for yours if you'd like! I don’t work a full time job, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m also a homebody, so I don’t have a busy schedule either. I try to give your pets the calmest and happiest experience while you’re not home. My goal is to help them forget you’re gone, by following the same routine they are used to and giving them all the love, attention and playtime they need. I’m also judgement free and will follow your house rules, religious or otherwise. I will always treat your pets and home with respect.

About: Hi there! I'm Farah. I have ample experience with all size dogs and an array of special needs dogs, including caring for disabled dogs, giving meds, and managing strict diets and feeding schedules. I’ll be there when promised and will provide updates and/or photos. I am comfortable with all breed sizes and will prioritize your dog's safety and comfort. My chorkie is attached to me so for any overnight or daytime boarding, he will be present unless otherwise stated. He is 6 pounds now and comfortable with cats and small to medium dogs. He is not fixed yet, so please let me know if your girl dog is not spayed. Weekdays: I am not available 8a-4p on weekdays due to my work schedule, but I am available before or after. For boarding, I can accept crate/pen trained dogs and I come home on break midday for walks and treats. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I work Monday through Friday 8-4, but I'm free all day after and anytime on the weekends. I am also happy to pop in during my work day on lunch breaks. I'm flexible and can accommodate you and your pets' needs! I provide structure, care, love, and frequent walks for my dog and will treat yours the same way. I also love taking him on adventures to parks throughout Erie.

About: Hello, my name is Tammy! I've been caring for all kinds of animals since I was a child. Pet parents have trusted me to care for their homes and pets for years. I also have experience volunteering at local shelters and rescues. I've cared for many animals from predatory birds, farm animals, to cats, specialty animals, and zoo animals too. I'm currently working on certifications to better my pet care abilities. I'm happy to clean up your home and do all the extras when it comes to housesitting. I genuinely enjoy helping people and pets. I'm devoted to making sure your pets/home are well cared for so you and your fur kiddos can have a stress free time. You can find more about me at paws4j 🐾❤️ My work schedule is very flexible. I can be available any times needed, so long as I know in advance. Your pets' care is my priority (: I have taken care of pets over nights, for drop-ins, walks, and day care. I have experience with some training. I can follow any instructions needed for them and your home. I love meeting new creatures and my goal is to be sure that you don't have to worry about a thing while you're gone.

About: I have a deep love for animals and truly enjoy the process of connecting with them. For me, it’s more than just "watching" a pet; I love learning about their unique personalities, specific traits, and individual needs to ensure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. PS - If you are wanting a house sit it is just me and not Thomas since we live in different areas now. Unfortunately we got an update from our housing authority (in Minneapolis) that we aren't supposed to have dogs 50 lb or more in the condo, so we can not accept bigger dogs unless its for a short duration. Thomas is a homebody and just goes into his art studio for a couple of hours in St Paul Mon-Fri. His hours are very flexible usually from 11:30am-3pm and can be less if needed to be home with a pet. My schedule is also flexible as i'm an independent canvasser for PBS and pick up para substitutiting at public and private schools. Well I put my clients needs first. Just like when I nanny or do childcare work or teaching I really try to listen to the "parents" aka pet owners in this scenario and listen to what their desires are. Ultimately I'm working for you so I want your cares and concerns to come first! I am very happy to provide or use your toys and play with your pet and pamper them. Give them just enough food and space to warm up to me. Let me know if your pets have any dietary needs. I have experience taking care of pets with seizures as well and giving their medicine in with their daily meals.

We cannot say enough good things about Lauren! She took incredible care of our dogs, and it was so clear from the moment we got home how loved and well cared for they were. Our pups absolutely adore her — which says everything. We are so grateful for Lauren and will absolutely be booking her again and again. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕

Lauren is Beyond Fantastic! She took Excellent care of my 3 dogs. I just moved to this area and was worried about finding a new sitter. No worries needed! If I had a guest house, I would offer her a well paid permanent job! She is a wonderful person and a wonderful sitter/walker!

FAQs for House Sitting - Girard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Girard on Rover is $69.55 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 116 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Girard. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
