“Ella made sure our kitties got plenty of love while we were away! She was able to administer oral medication appropriately. She tidied up after herself- you couldn’t even tell anyone had been here!”
“Aubree was SO great with our doggies, Teddy and Millie! We made a last minute decision not to travel with our dogs and she was willing to come do a meet and greet and accepted the job very last minute, thankfully! She stayed at our home and made our sudden trip away for a family funeral much less stressful because we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have an older dog and a middle aged dog with potty issues, especially when routines change at home. Aubree was patient and willing to clean up after them and I’m so grateful for that extra work and effort. She also sent us pupdates while we were away and pictures! Her communication is always positive and reassuring, making it such a pleasure to know her and work with her! We’re already working on scheduling with her for another trip coming up!”
“Tyler was wonderful to work with. He was great with our dog and seemed to be very comfortable around him. He communicated with us regularly, including sending pictures and video of Moose during our time away. He left our home clean with nothing out of place and was very pleasant and dependable.”
About: Growing up, there were always animals in the home that I would help take care of. We had 2 birds, 3 dogs (an old Shih Tzu, a German Shepherd, and a young Golden Retriever), along with barn cats. I would help my aunt take care of them and was trusted to pet sit whenever she was out of town. Now that I have moved out, I have an adorable 2 year old cat of my own. For a summer break, I also worked at a pet store, caring for a variety of animals like hamsters, bunnies, reptiles, and birds. I am an engineering student and have an on-campus job, but I am very flexible in my availability! I can do most nights except Monday and Thursday, along with room for visits during the day. I have always had pets in my home and I love to spoil them! I will treat your pets with the same love, and your home with respect!
“Anna did so great with Penny. Had a sitter cancel on me last minute so I met Anna the week of the scheduled house-stay. At the meet and greet I knew she would do great with Penny. She kept me updated while away and asked questions when needed. I really appreciate her!”
“Madelynn took great care of our pets and house while we were away, always maintained great communication with updates and photos, and we will definitely book with her again!”
About: I also love dogs!! I’ve pet sat on multiple occasions for a reasonable price, because I genuinely just enjoy spending time with new puppies and keeping them company and making sure they’re taken care of. I love taking them on walks, playing fetch with them, and sitting with them I’m available on nights, mornings, and sometimes during the weekend as well! I just accepted a teaching position from 11am-6pm, and I have time to work around my schedule in order to make sure your pet’s taken care of My kitty, Mama, is an indoor kitty and she uses a litter robot because it helps keep her litter box clean all the time. I have an automatic water dispenser for her and I fill her food daily. I keep all of her things in my room because she’s in there most of the time
“We were so grateful to have Bri watch our darling dog. It was such a relief to know he was in such good hands and was happy. We realii look y appreciated the photos and updates on our guy!”
“Emma did a great job looking after my two pups! She was on time, provided great care to Milo & Cooper, and provided us with updated throughout the day! She even made sure the house was even cleaner than she found it. We will definitely be using Emma again and recommend you reach out to her the next time you need a dog/house sitter!”
About: I have over five years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. I believe every dog deserves patience, attention, and care tailored to their needs. I always do my best to make sure each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they’re with me. I am currently a student at the University of Arkansas that works part time before class however I am completely free after class and all day Friday-Sunday. I live in a townhome with a backyard, although it is not fenced. I’m happy to provide crate care when needed and can take dogs outside for walks and bathroom breaks on a leash. I’m also comfortable traveling to clients’ homes for both quick check-ins and longer visits to make sure their pets are comfortable, cared for, and have everything they need.
About: Hi, I’m Arlet. Im 31 years old. Right after high school I went to study to be a Vet Assistant at Petra Allied Health! I have worked at St Francis animal hospital twice & Southwest Pet hospital. To pass my course I had to do some training at Lyons Vet. I have been an animal lover since I was in diapers! My mom always knew I’d grow up to do something with animals. My love for them is like no other. I really just wanna cuddle them and love on them. Animals warm my heart. I would love to meet y’all & spend some time with your fur babies. I’m doing this full time so I’m very flexible.I can walk, feed, clip nails, bath, give meds…Also I made this page back in 2019 and then I just never got back in. so its been inactive for years till now… also, I lost my soul fur baby January of 2026 to a tumor & it absolutely broke me… He was in my life for 13 years… it doesn’t get easier but I am now ready to love on other animals. It’s healing to me. Thank yoooouuu my baby dozer is human to me lol. he sleeps with me, I feed him, take Him outside, come home for lunch to walk him, walk him after work too. let him play outside for about 1-2 hours so when he comes back inside he is tired and its time for us to sleep. he is potty trained so he usually just lets me know when he wants to go outside and I let him. very chill baby. I feed mine, clean, bath, trim nails, walks. basically whatever my dog needs he gets. Very well trained too. I can go to your fur babies.
About: I have been raised with pets all my life, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc... I have helped my friends, families, and neighbors watch their cats and dogs with the care and love they need! I am currently a full-time college student, so I am more flexible on the weekends, but am also available on the week days at night. I'll make sure the pets are properly fed and taken outside at the appropriate times, same with being put in crates or given medicine if need be.
“Kelsey took the time to get to know my dogs (one elderly Catahoula, one very shy and nervous Catahoula, and a very bouncy one-year-old Retriever) before we booked, and she was incredibly kind and patient. I can’t recommend her enough.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Goshen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 520 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Goshen. 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 Goshen 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 Goshen 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 Goshen 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.
