We couldn't be more grateful for Jessie! She took amazing care of our beloved shepherds and our home while we were on vacation. Before finding Jessie, my husband and I rarely traveled together—we're very particular about who we trust with our dogs and our home. Jessie exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we booked with her, communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pups were happy, relaxed, and in great hands. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing everything back home was being cared for so well. Jessie’s attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals completely won us over. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and are already looking forward to future travel plans now that we have someone we trust completely. Highly, highly recommend!

Once again Issabella has done a great job taking care of my house and two cats! Every time she sends a picture update you can tell they’re so relaxed and happy in her care. She also follows any specific care instructions as directed which is great. I’ll continue to rebook for future overnights and vacations.

About: I've taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. Family and friends have relied on me to care for their furry friends for over 10 years. I even take care of cats and dogs professionally as a kennel assistant at an animal hospital! I'm a college student who works short hours part-time (at an animal hospital!), so I can always check in with your pet(s) between classes and before and after work! I can leash walk multiple dogs if needed, crate cats and dogs, and of course play with them for as long as they will have me!

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 when I got my first dog, and I've been caring for animals ever since! I've cared for many different species, such as dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, cows, fish, and a couple of reptiles! I'm always looking for new animal friends and would love to meet yours! I'm currently a full time college student, and have two classes a day. I will be available for pet care at all hours other than 10-11am, and 12-1pm during my classes. I have a nice big hallway for your pet if a kennel is needed, and I have great access to a nice, safe walking path, plus a big yard for pets to play. I am very adaptable and can make anything work!

About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, babysitting family and friends dogs along with taking care of my own dogs. I’ve been around them for as long as I can remember! I currently work three 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital, but I am looking to fill my days off with some doggy care! I will care for your dog at your home in the best way that I possibly can! I have a small dog of my own, I treat him as if he’s my child and I will do the same for any and every dog I take care of:)

About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember. I've done dog-sitting multiple times. Most of my dogs have come from an animal shelter, which involves a lot of training, to make sure the dog will listen to commands. My daily and weekly schedule is quite flexible making it easy to schedule services for your furry loved ones. With my flexibility I will be able to prioritize the care of your pets. Even though I have no pets at the moment, I've had several dogs and even hamsters. I have a runner which is a cable line attached to a leash allowing my dogs to roam safely since we don't have an enclosed fence. My dogs eat twice a day. There are multiple times a week that my dogs go to the local dog park to play. I make fun enrichment to engage the mind of my pets, such as treat puzzles.

Hailey gave our little toy poodle excellent care! Honey warmed up to Hailey very quickly. Hailey followed all my instructions. I appreciated how she kept in touch with me about Honey and how she was doing. I would definitely have Hailey watch our pet again!

About: Since I could walk, I’ve had animals in my life. I’ve helped care for animals of all kinds ranging from fish, cats and dogs to chickens and horses! Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I am currently off work and have open availability to take care of your furry friend(s)! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out and I will get back to you ASAP! Currently, I have 3 cats, a Chihuahua and a 30 gallon fish tank. As far as my cats go, I feed them canned food and have dry food out regularly. They have yearly vet visits and I keep them up-to-date on boosters. My cats are enriched with cuddles, playtime and scratchers in multiple places throughout my place. They love to be brushed often as well. My dog, Butterball, has his nails filed as often as needed and he loves cuddles under the blanket while watching tv. He goes outside on a lead multiple times a day. My fish tank is cleaned and maintained biweekly. I also always have spring water on hand to keep water levels appropriate.

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old and have experience with a wide variety of pets. I previously cared for an elderly woman’s boxer for two years, and I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies. I’m currently in college, so my availability varies depending on my class schedule, but when I’m with your pet, they’ll receive my full attention and care. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents. I love routine and making sure pets feel comfortable and secure. Your pet will receive regular meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of affection while you’re away. I’m attentive to individual needs and happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. I treat every pet like they’re my own 🤍🐾 I'm a stay at home mom so I have tons of availability. I'm enrolled in school but it's online so I'll have all the time for your babies! I live in an apartment so I don't have a fenced in yard, but we have PLENTY of yard to burn energy in. I love going for walks and playing catch with the fur babies so they will have plenty of outside time. If they're couch potatoes I allow animals on all furniture and I love the cuddles they give. Anything you want, will be done!

About: My family has had dogs my whole life. Currently I have a niece (goldendoodle) and nephew (labradoodle), but I miss my son (staffordshire) every day. I am active at my local humane society and I'm ready to care for your furry family member as well. I currently have a part-time job, so my availability is very flexible and can be easily adjusted to accommodate pet care. I look forward to adding your dog to my schedule! I live very close to my local park, so it is a frequent stop when I care for dogs. Additionally, I prioritize play and indoor enrichment if weather isn't conducive to a safe walk.

About: I have always love all kinds of animals since I was little. Im hoping to get my some soon when I get my own place. A lot of people always told me that I'm an animal whisper because a lot of animals really trust me more than others. Owners have told me how amazing it is to see their fur babies trust me and let them pet them when they normally don't let anyone pet them. I am currently looking for a part time job right now. As I am a Caregiver working through the weekdays. I am sure we can talk more about the days and times that work for both of us! I can’t wait to meet your amazing animal! I have a fenced yard, and two cats that will make sure your animals have companionship! In this house we spoil our animals and your animals equally with lots of treats, cuddles, and playtime!

About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! I also have an in house camera system for constant monitoring. Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy. I use flea prevention spray and traps between each client.

About: I’ve had pets pretty much all my life. They each become a part of me and stay in my heart forever. I’ve had cats, dogs, fish, birds, and I have cared for them along with bunnies and snakes when I worked at the shelter. I love my pets dearly and will treat your pets with as much love. I currently have more open availability in the mornings so I would be able to check in on your pets for you while you run your errands or you’re at work. Give them the love and attention that you want to give them, but unfortunately aren’t able to. I wake up in the mornings and give my babies food and fresh water. Give them attention once they wake up a little bit. I check their bowls periodically when I’m home and change the water at night and give them a little more food before bed. Along with nighttime cuddles because house are important. I wake up in the morning and take care of my cats first thing. Get them food. I wash their water bowl out and get them fresh water. I give them attention after they wake up a little bit more. I pay attention to their body signs and try to give them what they need. I love and care for my pets and I will do the same for yours.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hartford City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Hartford City on Rover is $33.3 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 127 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hartford City. 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 Hartford City 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 Hartford City 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 Hartford City 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
