About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life—ever since I was a toddler, there was always a dog or cat by my side. I have a special soft spot for dogs and cats, friends and family have trusted me to care for their furry family members while they’re away. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs, including administering medication with patience and care. I work full time but on weekends I’m free any time to walk or stay overnight with your 4 legged family members. During the week Monday - Friday I’d be available to walk your pup between 10:00am-12:30pm. I’ll be sure to care for your kitty or pup and all of their needs are taken care of. I’d be happy to uphold any routines or necessities while you’re away. I’ll be sure to give them all the love and care. Also feel free to let me know of any quirks your fur baby has.

“Stephanie is absolutely the sweetest! We are so glad we found her on Rover and we will be frequent clients of hers! She took such great care of our two doodles, one who is currently having health issues and requires more than just basic care. Stephanie went above and beyond to care for them while we were gone for a week to another state. She gave me frequent updates and kept me informed on how our fur baby was feeling. Her love for animals is evident in the way she goes above and beyond when caring for them. Thank you so much Stephanie! We (and our pups!) really appreciate you!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I give every pet the attention they deserve. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to treat every pet like they are my own and provide owners with peace of mind while they are away. I can work most of the time and have a very flexible schedule, especially during the weeks before I leave for college this fall. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, including feeding, walks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I am reliable, organized, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent attention, care, and affection while they are with me. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise requirements, and any special care requests. I maintain a clean and secure environment, monitor pets closely during walks and playtime, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. I focus on building trust with both pets and owners by providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care.

“Nicole took great care of our three dogs, and was especially patient and kind with our most anxious dog. We were traveling out of town just ahead of a winter storm, and Nicole kindly offered to stay with our boys a few extra days, making a stressful situation so much less so. When we finally did get home, our house was very tidy, and we could just really feel the thoughtfulness that Nicole brought to her stay. Would definitely rebook again.”
“Allison is fantastic! Not only did she communicate with me a few times a day with updates on my sweet older dog, she also helped my neighbor with a small emergency ❤️❤️ I fully trust her and I recommend her 100%.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Goshen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Goshen on Rover is $27.75 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 746 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 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.
