“Jaina was very responsive and communicative during our trip. This was my first time hiring a petsitter so I was already nervous, but my sheltie Piper does NOT like strangers so that added more stress. Jaina worked with us to have a few (loud) meet and greets with Piper to familiarize herself with her. It took a day but Piper soon warmed up to her and settled which allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. I'm very grateful to Jaina for handling our anxious dog and reassuring us with her daily and sometimes twice a day updates.”
“Everything went well on our trip with Matthew doing a great job taking care of our 2 dogs for 2 nights. Both seemed to enjoy his stay and we would recommend him to anyone who needs a sitter.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and finding someone to stay overnights with my pets. That was a really big deal for me. James has been amazing since the first time we talked. He took great care of my babies, my home and made my husband and I feel at ease. He was communicative, punctual and transparent. I would recommend James to anyone!”
“I've had Makenna house sit several times and she's always given me fantastic updates with pictures, left the house wonderful and written up personalized report cards on how my pets have been while I was gone. Love the level of care she provides everytime!”
“Shermont'e was very respectable and patient with our dogs, (our dogs can be shy meeting new people). He constantly gave us updates on how they were doing, and that our most shy dog warmed up to him by the end of his stay! 10/10 would recommend!!”
About: I have taken care of pets for nearly 10 years. From Dogs to cat to even birds. I’m the person that will walk your dog in the snow and enjoy it. I am also the person that will play with your cat for an hour straight. Pets are family and that’s how they deserve to be treated. I’m currently a bartender and big time traveler. I’m looking to make extra cash on weekends by doing what I love which is taking care of your little furry ones. I have fenced in yard for my dogs as well as indoor cats. My pets eat twice a day on a cautious diet due to them being elderly. I walk my dogs everyday if I can and play with my cat every single day as he is old but he’s very playful.
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I currently care for multiple pets of my own. Over the years, I've gained experience caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including administering medications as prescribed and following individualized care routines. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I understand the importance of providing dependable, attentive care while they're away. As a pet owner myself, I know that pets are family, and I'm committed to treating every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I care for multiple pets of my own while balancing graduate school and a part-time job. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, I make it a priority every day. My class schedule may vary throughout the year, but I strive to maintain flexibility and provide dependable care for the pets entrusted to me. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, house sitting, or administering medications, I'm committed to making sure your pets receive the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while you're away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision because pets are family. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment while giving you peace of mind when you're away. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and individual needs and follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise requirements. I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time when appropriate, and I'm committed to caring for every pet as if they were one of my own. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Bethany did a wonderful job! She watched my two Bernese mountain dogs at my house and I returned to it cleaner than I left it. Our one dog is a puppy so I wanted to make sure his schedule was kept up since he’s nearly potty trained. Our older dog has been having some ear issues and takes medications. I know Bethany took great care of their special needs and that made vacation relaxing!”
“Nate was fantastic with our two doodles! He sent us pictures morning and night and took such great care of them. Our minds were completely at ease the whole time Nate was with our dogs. We will rebook with Nate whenever possible!”
“Brittney is truly amazing. From making sure the animals were comfortable with a meet-and-greet, to making sure that all dietary and special needs were considered. Even with the typical NEOH snowstorm, Brittney made sure my babies received the best care. I will be rebooking again!”
“Devaney took such great care of our girls! I am always hesitant to leave my pets with a stranger, but after meeting her I knew they’d be in great hands. My house was left clean and she even washed the guest room sheets and towels. Wow— I will definitely use Devaney again! Thanks a bunch!! 🐶🐈⬛”
“Annalise did a great job. I appreciated the pictures and videos she sent. I could tell the doggies got a lot of attention because when we got home, neither was overly anxious or excited, and both were relaxed.”
“Jordan was a great sitter for our cat (and house). She was a good communicator, sent regular photos of the cat, and left the house clean and tidy. I would definitely hire her again!”

Eric was fantastic with our dogs! Even though our pups unfortunately ran into some health issues during their stay, Eric handled everything with incredible care, maturity, and communication. He kept us updated, followed all instructions perfectly, and made sure they were comfortable and safe. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands during a stressful time. We were incredibly happy with his service and highly recommend him!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kirtland Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kirtland Hills on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 904 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kirtland Hills. 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 Kirtland Hills 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 Kirtland Hills 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 Kirtland Hills 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 Kirtland Hills. On Rover:
- 99% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
