“Hailey did a great job taking care of all our fur kids. Twos dogs and two cats is alot but she did so good. She kept us updated on how they were doing throughout the stay and that made it worry free. She was able to give eye drops to one of our dogs that had an infection and I was really grateful for that. I'm happy she had skills and experience working with animals. We will definitely book again with her!”
“Rebecca was very responsive and detailed so she knew what was required of the dogs. We got daily updates with pictures and comments. The dogs were very well cared for, the house was clean, and the dogs were happy! We would definitely use her again.”
About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Thursdays and weekends off, but I still make time to provide dependable pet care around my schedule. I’m available for morning drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care when planned in advance, and have greater flexibility on Thursdays and weekends for longer visits, walks, and quality time. I understand how important routines are for pets and will work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive care that fits their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and hands-on animal care experience, I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and treating every animal with patience and respect. I work to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, and I provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands.
“Oli was very attentive and caring for my animals and was able to watch them last minute. She provided plenty of pictures and updates, and asked a lot of questions which showed me she was really interested in my animals’ well being. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!”
“I highly recommend Ariana for dog and cat sitting! Ariana took excellent and loving care of my two dogs and one cat. My 14 year old Brittany is lively and doesn’t always make it to outside. Ariana took great care of her and changed diapers. My four year old Puggle and nine year old cat are afraid of new people. But with just a few treats, they were eating out of Ariana’’s hand and wagging their tails! My pups & cat had a great time with Ariana, and my house was even cleaner than when I left for the weekend. I will be asking Ariana to watch my fur babies again and again! Thank you Ariana, I can start going on vacations again!!!”
“Brianna was very flexible with my request and worked with me to accommodate what I was looking for last minute. I got daily picture updates as well as confirmation when she administered their medicine. Overall I was very satisfied and would have no qualms about rebooking!”
“Hannah has been great to watch our dog multiple times when we are out of town. She is reliable with good communication throughout the stay. We will continue to reach out to her!”
“Ava still doesn't like when we leave, but Shawna P. has done a great job making her feel as comfortable as possible. Ava still yells at us when we get home, but she is much more relaxed and happier than if she spent the time boarding at the kennel.”
About: Brandon and I have been devoted pet parents to five dogs over the past 25 years. We genuinely adore dogs and treat them like cherished family members. We're energetic and hands-on. If you have a minor home project, cleaning task, or small errand that needs attention, we're open to discussing it for an additional fee, provided it doesn't interfere with caring for your beloved pet. On weekends we run errands, have lunch or dinner plans occassionally, but will spend the majority of our time with your loved one. On weekdays, Brandon works from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM in Plainfield (Monday-Wednesday). Brittani works in Castleton from 9 AM to 6 PM (Monday-Thursday). Brandon works from home Thursday and Friday and Brittani on Fridays. We are happy to care for your baby as if it were our own. Just let us know what you prefer and we will follow your instructions.
“Marek stepped up to the plate and accepted a last minute day care request. My dog had a riotous day playing with his dogs and got more than his share of exercise. Marek's rates are very low and don't reflect the care that he gave to my grateful pet.”
“Alisa is amazing, she took on a big challenge with our 2 Pitt Bulls and one of them had just been rescued only a few days before we left. She worked on pottie training and even helped training them to play nicely together! I’m hooked….. I will try to get her to stay here with our hounds every time we go out of town knowing they will be well taken care of!”
“Julia was great with our two little dogs-one a senior. She communicated every day, kept our house in order, and started laundry before we returned. We would recommend her with no hesitation.”
About: I've always loved animals since I was a kid: cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, etc. I love taking care of them and learning about all different animals. making sure their needs are met and making sure they're well taken care of!!

About: Hi! I’m Sidnie, a proud pet parent to three dogs and two cats. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and unique needs, and I understand how stressful it can be to leave them in someone else’s care. One of the biggest reasons I joined Rover is because two of my own dogs have anxiety in boarding and daycare settings. Finding someone I trust to care for them in the comfort of our home has always been important to me, and I want to provide that same peace of mind for other pet parents. Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent the past eight years caring for my own pets every day. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each pet’s individual routine and personality. I work downtown Indianapolis on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and remotely the rest of the week, giving me the flexibility to spend more quality time with pets throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them happiest. You’ll receive regular updates and photos throughout your booking, and I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I give my own. I live on the south side of Indianapolis and work remotely most of the week, with only two days spent downtown. This gives me the flexibility to serve a wide area throughout Indianapolis and many surrounding communities while offering dependable care for your pets. If you’re unsure whether you’re within my service area, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to discuss travel. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I know that maintaining familiar schedules can make all the difference, especially for pets who are nervous when their owners are away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Before every booking, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s tailored specifically to them. Whether your pet has medications, dietary restrictions, favorite walking routes, or simply likes things done a certain way, I’ll make sure those routines stay consistent. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, leaving it just as I found it. You can expect dependable communication, thoughtful care, and plenty of updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.
“Kimberly was so good with our little cat! She was so kind and took great care of our home and fur baby! She even gave our cat who doesn’t isn’t good with medication her meds twice a day and sent us pics of our baby while we were on vacation! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Alex was absolutely great with our pups! She gave them tons of attention while she stayed with them for a weekend including some training, lots of walks, and even a hike! She sent lots of updates/photos and had excellent communication. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Back to back stays and we couldn't be happier. Our dog was not on her best behavior for this one, but Shelly rolled with it and really saved the day. We are so fortunate to have found you on Rover. Thank you Shelly!”

Jasmine was a great house sitter for our 2 older dogs and cat! She was prompt in responding to our messages and asked questions when issues came up. She also sent lots of pictures and updates so we weren’t wondering how our pets were faring during the our trip. Our pets aren’t the easiest but she did an exceptional job taking care of them and we will absolutely book with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Homecroft
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Homecroft on Rover is $44.4 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 1,522 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Homecroft. 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 Homecroft 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 Homecroft 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 Homecroft 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 with handling special pet needs in Homecroft. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
