“After our meet and greet, I felt totally at ease with leaving my Lucy in Emily’s care. She obviously loves dogs, that’s for sure! I went away this weekend feeling no anxiety about going because of that. Emily took excellent care of her, sending me occasional pictures. When I came home, Lucy was very happy to see me, and my house was still in perfect order. Emily is the best💕”

“Matt is very good at communicating. He was good at following the instructions I left and flexible when my flight was delayed. He took Lacey for walks an made sure she went out for business before he left the house for work. When he did meet and greet a couple weeks prior, Lacey was on antibiotics (pills) and I expected her to be done by the time of my trip. She had to stay on them longer, and Matt made sure she got her pills.”
“We had Alexea for a long weekend. I would highly recommend her to watch your cat or dog. She took great care of my 2 kitties and the house. She sent us pictures of be our cats and watered all our plants outside. We came home to a perfect house!!”
About: Lifelong dog lover with 20 plus years of hands on experience. I’ve raised my own dogs from puppyhood through their golden years and cared for friends’ and family’s dogs of all ages,Breeds, sizes, and personalities. Since I work from home full time, your pup gets steady companionship and plenty of love throughout the day. I treat every dog like my own, providing you with regular updates so you always feel connected and reassured. I work from home, so I am available for flexible drop off and pick up times, as well as frequent potty breaks throughout the day For everyone’s comfort and safety, including my own, I am only able to accept one booking at a time. I may accept multiple dogs if they are from the same booking.
About: Hi my name is Briana! Your dog will have play time outside if raining then we play inside. I have many years of experience with cats and dogs. I love animals of all sizes. I am easily reachable by text or phone call. I love being outside so your dog will get as much exercise as they need. I go above and beyond to take care of dogs. I provide a lot of love. I am excited to care for your pup and treat them as my own! I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you! Even though I work full-time, caring for animals is something I naturally build into my day. My mornings and evenings are spent feeding, playing, and snuggling with my two cats, so I’m already used to keeping a consistent routine. On my days off and during flexible hours, I have plenty of time to check in on your pets, give them love and attention, and make sure they stay happy and comfortable while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention. For dogs, that might include walks or backyard play; for cats and small animals, it can be interactive play or cozy companionship. I also respect your home, keeping things neat and making sure your pets are happy and relaxed until you return.

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.

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.
