“This is the 2nd time Abigail sat for Minnie, and like the 1st time she was outstanding. Minnie was excited to see Abigail and everything went great. It was so nice knowing Abigail was with Minnie, allowing us to enjoy a movie and dinner. We'll continue to ask Abigail to sit for Minnie in the future.”

My dogs instantly fell in love with her and I felt safe leaving them in her hands. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Caitlin was fantastic! This was our first experience using Rover and leaving our pups for five days. She kept us informed the entire time, sending updates and pictures of our dogs. Our home was in perfect condition when we returned, just as we left it. Our pups got along wonderfully with her, and we will definitely be booking her again for dog sitting.”
About: I've taken care of my family dogs on my own, as well as dog sitting my friends dogs. I know how important it is for dogs to get out and go on walks and also be watched so they don't eat anything funny. I have a full time job but can come home at lunch to hangout and let them out! They would be alone for about 4 hours at a time. I have a fenced in yard and will spend lots of time hanging out with your dog. If I am boarding your dog I will do my best makev your dog feel safe and at home.
About: I have taken care of a number of dogs for friends, family, and acquaintances. Some of these dogs were temperamental others were just playful and rambunctious. I want to make this my full time job so animal care fits quite well into my overall schedule and routine. I don’t have any specific plans regarding other jobs other than the usual doctor appointments for necessities. I have pets at home so I will mimic what I do which are things like giving walks. Making sure to provide food and water (at certain times if requested). As well as playing with toys and letting them outside. This changes depending on what is needed or requesting.

“House and dog sitting. Olivia is kind and friendly. Pets were loved and cared for. Pictures and updates were provided. Needs some improvement on following instructions and home care.”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I have developed a strong understanding of the daily responsibilities involved in caring for dogs and cats. From maintaining feeding schedules and exercise routines to providing companionship, basic grooming, and monitoring their health, I am dedicated to ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and well loved. Taking care of pets is already a natural part of my everyday life. I have 5 pets of my own, so I’m used to making time for feeding, playtime, walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and don’t see pet care as a chore. I’m happy to work their routine into my day and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I like to learn their personality and what makes them comfortable so I can give them the care and attention they’re used to. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their home, I make sure they have plenty of food, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and lots of love.
About: I havent done much dog sitting recently, but i have experience with dogs and i understand how dogs think psycologically and physiologically enough to keep your dogs safe with me. Im currently working part time from home on mondays, wednesdays, fridays and saturdays from 9am to 6pm subject to change or get off early due to slow business, but I am willing to work around your schedules. I love being around dogs, whether its just walking them, playing tug of war with them, or just chillin with them. I keep every dog i take care of fed and make sure they get the attention they require.
“Kimberly was the best we have had since using Rover! She kept us well informed and took great care of our fur baby which can sometimes be difficult with the different medications she has to take, we hope Kimberly will be available for the next time we need a pet sitter but if she’s not I can see why since she’s so good with at what she does!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Goshen is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
