“Shelly was so kind and a joy to talk to before I left her with my boys. She was very thoughtful and attentive when I was telling her about their routine. She sent plenty of pictures and my babies looked so content and happy with her. She left the house exactly as it was when I left and my kiddos were even happier. I am so glad to have found her to house/puppy sit for me and would definitely use her services again!”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up caring for pets of my own as well as family members’ dogs. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of hands on experience with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I especially enjoy spending time with small dogs and love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. Pet care will be my full-time focus, so I’ll have plenty of time and flexibility to give each dog the attention and care they deserve. I’ll be available throughout the day for walks, feedings, potty breaks, bathing/cleaning, playtime, and companionship. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow their normal routines while giving them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I’ll take the time to learn each dogs personality, preferences, and routines and I’ll always approach them with patience and kindness so they feel comfortable and loved while in my care. I typically only care for one dog at a time for overnight stays so I can give them my full attention and make sure they get the individualized care they need. If siblings are coming from the same family, I’m happy to care for them together. I want every pet to feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🫶🏼

“Penny took amazing care of my Nala. Sent pictures every day, which made me feel so much better about leaving her while I went away. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to take care of my fur baby. I would recommend Penny for anyone who’s looking for a pet sitter.”

About: I love dogs! I’ve always loved them. When i got my first dog at 8 I was terrified. I would scream and jump on the toilet. She wasn’t even the size of my backpack lol. As the years went on I grew not only a pet but a sister! She was there for me even when i didn’t think i needed her. I want to give your pet the same love I gave to her! Right now i have a mini golden doodle. She is a very special dog lol. She gets on my nerves but i wouldn’t trade her for anything. She’s always doing different things to keep me on my toes. I would make sure that your dog is properly cared for. Whether that is playing fetch with them or taking them for a walk. I live in an apartment that has a huge field. They will get the proper exercise for sure. I love to run with them.

About: With 13 years of dedicated ownership and care for a German Shepherd, coupled with specialized expertise in senior dog care, I offer a unique blend of experience, compassion, and understanding that sets me apart as a dog sitter. Your furry companions are not just pets to me; they are cherished family members deserving of the utmost love, attention, and tailored care. Unfortunately, my dog died over a year ago, so helping others with their pets has helped me tremendously with the grieving process. Incorporating pet care seamlessly into my daily routine, I strike a balance between my part-time work commitments and online coursework towards becoming an English teacher. Despite a busy schedule, I ensure my furry companions receive ample attention and care. With structured walks, playtime, and cuddles interspersed throughout the day, I create moments of joy and companionship for them. Teaching English classes two nights a week adds rhythm to my schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time to both my professional pursuits and the well-being of my beloved pets. I live alone in my apartment, where I provide attentive care to dogs. In a pet-friendly complex equipped with ample walking paths and grassy areas, I ensure that each dog's needs are met with regular walks, playtime, and affection. With no roommates or other pets, I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment where dogs can thrive and feel at home.

“Zach was an excellent pet sitter! He provided daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He made sure Rebel got a walk every day and took great care of all of our pets—Rebel, our dog, and Lilly and Bella, our cats. It was clear they were well cared for and comfortable while we were gone. We really appreciated his communication, reliability, and the care he showed our pets. We’d absolutely trust Zach to watch them again.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for most of my life, helping family, neighbors, and friends. My family dog growing up was my whole world, and now so is my dog Lu. Lu and I work very diligently on training and spend some time every day working on something. I am passionate about learning about dog behavior and dog training, and it’s been amazing watching Lu learn with me. I work from home full-time; some days I leave once for 1-3 hours. Your pet will have consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day, and I have no trouble sticking to their routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and naps. It is also my pride and joy to give as much love and attention as humanly possible! I live in a clean, cozy, one-bedroom apartment on the second floor--I do not have a yard, but am always available for walks, trips to dog parks, or time on the field right next door. I also live right next to the Olentangy trail. My coonhound mix, Lu, is sweet and cuddly and loves to play, but is adept at reading other dogs' cues regarding play and backs off if your pet isn't feeling it.

About: I have been working with dogs since my mid-teens, from fostering to training and just about everything in between. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as mobility, hearing, and visual imparments. I specialize in hyper, anxious, and reactive dogs. I also have a passion for socialization and confidence building. I am first aid and CPR certified for dogs and cats. I also have experience in oral medication administration. I currently work Monday-Friday 9pm-5am I am available in the early mornings 6-8 am and evenings 4-8 pm for drop ins and walks. I am also flexible with my availability on weekends and can accommodate most schedules. I have several years experience handling dogs and the challenges they often bring with them. I am first aid and CPR certified for dogs and cats. I always have an extra slip leash and break stick (a tool used to help safely open a dog's mouth in the event of a bite) on me in case of emergencies. I have two friendly dogs who are always looking for new friends, if your dog would benefit from the company.

About: I’ve raised dogs my entire life! I just moved away from my 3 dogs at home and I miss them so much. I also helped raise a 4PAWS dog throughout my last 2 years of college. This is my first time truly living without a dog and I would love the opportunity to help out! I am currently working part-time in my research lab during my gap year while applying to medical school. My schedule is extremely flexible on weekdays and weekends! I always make sure my dogs (and all dogs I watch) are on a leash, in a fenced yard, or have an invisible fence system in place. I additionally give so much love and affection past the basic services provided! I will love your pets like my own, ensuring they receive the best care.

About: Hi there! My name is Kira! I’ve worked at The Franklin County Dog Shelter, managed boarding facilities and doggy daycares, and I currently work at two Veterinary Emergency Hospitals. I’m comfortable with pets of all temperaments and energy levels — from shy or anxious babies to high-drive chaos gremlins. I have three dogs and three cats of my own, and a lot of my free time is spent training and finding ways to keep them mentally and physically fulfilled. I really love learning how each animal thinks and what makes things work best for everyone. I only accept bookings on days I know I’ll be fully available, so your pet isn’t just another stop in a packed schedule. I stick closely to your routines, can handle medications, and will always communicate clearly if anything seems off. I also love sending photo updates (probably too many), because I know how hard it can be to be away from them. My goal is simple: I want you to feel completely comfortable, and I want your pet to feel understood. I can’t wait to meet your crew! What you can expect when booking with me: • Reliable availability on reserved dates • photo + video updates (I love pet photography!) • Strict adherence to your pet’s routine • Clear communication • A sitter who knows what’s normal (and what’s not!) I only accept bookings on days I know I’ll be fully available, so your pet isn’t squeezed into a busy schedule. When I’m with them, I’m with them. During drop-ins and walks, I follow your routine closely, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their own space. I’m experienced with administering medications and recognizing when something isn’t normal due to my background in veterinary emergency medicine. Your home will always be respected, secured, and left exactly as I found it.

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds for over 20 years, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. From tiny pups to senior dogs, I’ve helped with walks, feeding, bathing, and playtime—always with patience, love, and attention to their needs. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me time and time again to care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m confident, calm, and genuinely passionate about animals of every shape and size. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I work a part-time job and also run my own pet care services, working closely with VIP clients and even a few politicians. I’m used to managing a flexible, yet reliable schedule that allows me to prioritize each pet’s needs with care and attention. Whether it's daily check-ins, walks, or extended stays, I make sure every animal I care for feels safe, loved, and well looked after. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency. I treat every pet like family, following their routines closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or playtime. Since I work with high-profile clients, I understand the importance of trust, privacy, and professionalism. I keep spaces clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always ensure pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I could remember. Been around Great Danes to yorkies and love them all. I also have a cat and dog of my own both I’ve rescue and adore. I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her since she was 7 months old. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kiousville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,388 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kiousville. 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 Kiousville 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 Kiousville 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Kiousville 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kiousville. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
