“Rebecca was fantastic! She communicated proactively about how our pup was doing and sent great pics and videos! She tidied up around our place before leaving, which was SO nice to come home to after traveling. I highly recommend her services and plan on being a repeat customer. Thanks Rebecca!”

“I have used Laci for both drop in and overnight services. She met with us for a meet and greet before the sitting dates. My Lola took up to her right away. Laci provided updates and picture and followed directions left for her the day of the sittings. I would seek out her service again for sure!”

“Zoey did a great job taking care of my cat, dog, and house. She brought in my mail, took out the garbage, and watered my plants. She sent me pictures of my animals almost every day that we were gone, and she left behind the cutest doggy "report cards." Both my animals were "pawsitively purrrrrfect." :-) I will definitely use Zoey again!”

“Karley took such great care of our poodle mix! She communicated well and often. I wasn’t worried for one moment about Kiki while we were on a family vacation. Glad we found her and will use again!”

“Katie was our first Rover sitter and we are very happy to have found someone we can trust with our dogs and cats! Thanks Katie! We really appreciate your patience, kindness, and genuine care for all of our fur-babies!”

“Julie was so helpful to us! She took care of our elderly dog and skittish kitty with as much love as we would have. She provided regular updates and photos and even did light housekeeping for us-that we didn’t expect at all!! I highly recommend Julie for your pets and home.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats for people close to me. I’m comfortable taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and cared for throughout every visit. Since it’s the summertime prior to the college season, I have a flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention for your dogs, cats, and other small pets. I’ll always communicate with you and provide updates while you’re away! I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I’ll carefully follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions (if applicable), and any special care requests. I treat every home with respect, keep pets safe at all times, and provide regular updates and photos of your fur baby so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. :)
“Jessica went above and beyond when caring for my 2 dogs! Her communication was excellent. I was always informed and she sent tons of pictures! I had trouble in the past finding someone trustworthy so I am extremely happy I found Jessica! My dogs absolutely loved her! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be booking her again.”


About: I've always had a special connection with animals and genuinely enjoy being around them. Over the years, I've cared for dogs and cats for family and friends and have always enjoyed getting to know their unique personalities. One of my favorite things about working with dogs is teaching them fun tricks and basic commands. I've successfully taught dogs to sit, stay, roll over, and beg. Once, I even taught my dog to walk backwards on two legs 🤭 I love seeing them learn and gain confidence through patience, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement. I'm also someone who loves being outdoors, so long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need is something I truly enjoy. Whether your dog is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I'll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for a member of your family. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure animals feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly home with family members who also love animals, along with a friendly Golden Retriever and my cat. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because every pet has a different personality and comfort level, I take the time to help them feel secure and adjust at their own pace. We have a spacious backyard and deck area, and I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks to make sure they get plenty of exercise and enrichment. I'll always follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special care your pet may need so they receive the same love and attention they're used to at home.
About: I have cared for animals almost my entire life having both cats and dogs in my family. I worked at a doggy daycare for a year so I have experience with most breeds and temperaments. I currently work at an elementary school and have availability in the evenings. I can house/pet sit during the week but would be away for about 8.5 hours during the day Monday through Thursday. I will be fully available for multiple visits a day or house/pet sitting on weekends and between June 1st and July 30th. At this time I am not caring for others’ animals in my home. While at a client’s home I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I will follow any feeding schedules given and ensure your pet has plenty of potty breaks.
“Jennifer did a wonderful job watching our two dogs in our home. She had great communication and took plenty of pics which ensured us our fur babies were well taken care of. She was polite and thoughtful! We highly recommend and would love to have her stay again!”

“Drew sat for us for nearly 2 weeks. He took excellent care of the pets and he spent so much time with them that they are behaving better than ever before. He also cleaned up the house which was really nice to come home to!”

About: I've owned a dog most of my life. I love dogs, but at this stage of life, I find it more rewarding to care for other people's pets and not own one of my own. I had a black lab for 14 years. She was my best friend. I'm sure you feel the same way, which is why you are looking for a sitter. Why place your pet in a kennel when I can stay with them in the home they know? Take that long weekend, or extended stay, knowing your home and pet are safe under my care. I'm an early riser. The dog is often my alarm clock. I prefer to let the dog out in a fenced yard. If the dog is well-trained on a leash, I can walk it and pick up droppings. We enjoy breakfast. I avoid people food, no matter how much they beg, unless you tell me otherwise. Active dogs want to play. Most will show me their favorite toy or game. I am retired but work from home. I am an artist and post my work online. I will ask for your wifi connection. Most pets stay with me while I work. We take frequent breaks to play, cuddle, or go out. The dog tells me what he/she is used to, along with your instructions. I'll follow your feeding and treats schedule to the letter. Later in the day, we watch TV. Many dogs enjoy Animal Planet or sporting events. I am an NFL fan and find many pets like the games too. At bedtime, I am OK if your pet wants to sleep with me. I find that a family with a fenced yard works best for your dog and for me. Your pet may act differently on a leash around other people or animals with me than they do with you. Keeping them safely in a yard avoids them breaking free of their collar or tangling with another dog. I will rarely need to leave your home during my stay, but if I do, your pet will be secured per your instructions and your home locked.
“We have had the honor of having Jenna sit for us TWICE now. She not only stays at our house but she sends me daily updates, which I LOVE!!! My 3 big babies are always happy and in great spirits when we come which tells me she loves them as much as we do while she is there. We will definitely call upon Jenna anytime we go out of town. Thank you Jenna for being so awesome!!!”

About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by animals, whether they are birds, cats, dogs, or guinea pigs! Currently, I have a boxer named Rocky, and two cats named Yari and Little Girl. Apart from my own animals, I do foster day trips with Cincinnati Animal Care, and I have fostered a few stray puppies previously! I am currently working part time and in school, but am normally available mornings and nights to help out! Weekends are more flexible especially with overnights! I always ensure that my pets have access to food and water consistently in their daily routine, and are provided with adequate exercise and attention!
“Alexys did a Great job with my old chocolate lab, Bentley! I appreciate her spirit and compassion for how she cares. She was always on time and Bentley really enjoyed being with her!! Thanks for all of your hard work!!”

“We used Karen for the first time for our 2 dogs. She sent pictures and made me feel comfortable that they were being well cared for. I will definitely be using her again.”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Goshen is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Goshen
My pups can be high maintenance and she was great with them. She took several pictures and sent them to me and they looked very happy. She has communicated a lot with me to help offer suggestions for my 1 year old that I have been struggling with training. I’m very picky about my babies and I am so thankful we found her.

Michayla took care of my two cats for a week while I was on vacation, and she did a wonderful job! She is very caring and attentive, and she made sure to send me pictures and updates throughout the week which really put my mind at ease. I will definitely book her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Goshen on Rover is $29.97 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 1,548 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.
