“Emma was AMAZING! 3 Great Danes and she handled their clumsy-ness and lap dog tenancies without a hitch. My stupid dogs ran off to the neighbors house and had an incident with the neighbor dog. She handled the situation perfectly and kept my dogs, the neighbor and their dog, and myself feeling safe about the incident the rest of booking. When I got home and apologized again to my neighbor, they said that Emma did great the whole time and were impressed with the way she handled things. 10/10 would recommend Emma!!”
About: I am a nearby teacher just looking to help you out with your dog/s! I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone else and I want it to be stress-free for you. I have a dog of my own, and I grew up with dogs all my life and love to be around them! I can socialize your pup with mine or keep them separate. I am free most weekends and holidays. I can go on a run and/or walk with your dog or just give them a little extra love and attention. I am a big fan of all dogs whether they are big or small. I also know some about cats if you need help with them as well. I am available on weekends and if needed can work in a Friday too. This allows me to put all my attention on your pets. I have one fur baby of my own that can easily be separated from your pup if needed. I also have easily access to a crate and a neighborhood dog park.
“Katelyn is fantastic! She's incredibly responsive and caring. She came to meet the dogs beforehand, so we could chat which was awesome. One of our dogs in incredibly anxious and wary of strangers, and Katelyn's calm demeanor won her over! We already booked Katelyn for the near future.”
“I highly recommend Rachel and cannot say enough good things about her and her services! We moved to the area and needed an overnight sitter for our two rescues. I hadn’t left my dogs with anyone new before, so I was a little nervous, but Rachel was sure to put me at ease and my dogs were in great hands! My senior dog ended up being on antibiotics at the time she stayed with them and she took great care of making sure he got his meds. They loved hanging out and snuggling with her - and she even sent me some pictures as an added bonus. ? My dogs tend to get a little overly excited over new people at first, but she handled it so well. You can tell she really does love and care for animals as if they were her own. Again, highly recommend Rachel!”
About: I've grown up surrounded by animals, including cats and dogs, and at one point, our household included five dogs simultaneously. Since the age of ten, I've been responsible for feeding my dogs and taking them outside. When I turned fourteen, I began walking my own dogs and even walked dogs for friends, ranging from 15 to 130 pounds. I am proficient in administering dog medications and knowledgeable about dog behaviors. I'm passionate about understanding each pet's preferences and personality, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with a fun and safe environment. I’m currently working a part-time job, while a full-time college student. I am free currently Saturday-Tuesday. Saturday and Sundays I will be available from 8am till 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Monday I will be available all day starting from 10am and Tuesdays all day after 3pm. I always prioritize your pets well-being and follow your specific instructions for their care. If needed, I can crate your dog and i’ll offer a safe and comfortable environment.
About: I grew up with farm cats and dogs in the house, and as an adult I’ve cared for fish and a lovebird named Taylor. I currently have three rescue cats and a rescue Corgi, Maggie. My pets range from 5 to 12 years old, so I’m comfortable caring for animals at different stages of life. Maggie came to me a year and a half ago weighing 59 pounds—nearly twice her healthy weight. She’s now down to 38 pounds, and watching her become healthier, happier, and more energetic has been incredibly rewarding. All of my pets are rescues, and I understand how important patience, consistency, and individualized care are. I’m currently between full-time positions, which gives me the flexibility to provide care for cats and dogs seven days a week. I offer drop-in visits, house sitting, daily dog walks, feeding, playtime, medication routines, litter box care, and plenty of companionship. I also welcome both cats and dogs into my home for stays, where they’ll have a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and provide personalized care based on their personality and needs. In my home, I have a small unfenced yard with two tie-outs for supervised outdoor time. I also provide an indoor grass patch to help reduce accidents inside. Dogs can sleep in a large kennel if they prefer one, or they’re welcome to sleep upstairs with me. Cats have access to a separate, safe room away from my cats and dog. They can choose whether to spend time with the other cats or relax on their own in their private room. To ensure every pet receives plenty of individual attention, I only care for dogs or cats who already know each other when accepting multiple pets at the same time, and I limit stays to two guest pets. I also have treat feeders for both dogs and cats, along with homemade treats. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll follow their routine and provide personalized care based on their personality, comfort level, and needs.
“Amelie and Stephen sat for our dog, Dexter, and our cat, Lucy, while we were out of town for a weekend. We felt incredibly assured during our time away that our pets were being well cared for and provided with lots of love. We were given consistent updates on how the stay was going and what our animals were up to. They graciously provided many pictures during the stay that continued to provide us with a sense of calm knowing our fur babies were in very good hands. We have already rebooked with them for a future trip, and will continue to do so! We cannot recommend them enough!”
About: I am going through a divorce and want to stay busy and find joy. I love dogs and have had them my whole life. I recently lost my dogs to old age and need a good dog fix in my life. I dog sit/walk for friends and family all the time. I do work full time, so please contact for additional days/times needed. I work full time and going through a divorce. I am looking to stay busy with activities that I enjoy, and dogs make me extra happy! I can easily assist with any doggy needs. I am a capable dog sitter, and any special requests from the owners are fine for me.
About: Frequent walker that would be happy to have a dog join. I also have a backyard that I maintain all of the time for use. I do not have a dog of my own and typically only watch one dog (or two if you have two) at a time leaving your dogs needs at the priority! I work remote so will always be able to be responsive when sitting. Also have a 1000+ day 10,000 step streak so doing lots of walking currently! Handle and escalate and concerns to owner when appropriate and I feel any sorts of hesitations. Thoughtfully, decisively, and neutrally investigate Trust & Safety cases with high complexity and high sensitivity while maintaining customer satisfaction! As a reminder I do not have a fenced in yard so all outside time will be through walks!
“Rachel took such great care of my Hal! She was thorough in following care instructions and sent lots of pictures and updates. I came back from my trip to a safe and happy pup, and an apartment that was as clean as I left it. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve had/cared for so many pets growing up. Anything from horses to sheep’s to chickens, dogs anything. I love animals and have a golden retriever of my own. I am currently working but get off around 1pm so my availability is pretty open anytime after that and free on Sundays and Mondays , I would love to help in any way I can with your fur babies. Every fur baby is different and unique in its own way. I would love to meet them and care for them based on the parents commands.
“Erin is a fantastic dog sitter . She spent the weekend at our home caring for our 6 year old Boston Terrier who weighs 36 lbs. He doesn’t do well without a human to care for him. He is also a picky eater. She is very caring and responsible. She also sent pictures of him that gives you a good feeling while away. She has dogs of her own and it shows. We are happy she was available and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”
About: I am a dog lover, have taken care of my own dogs and my parents for years. I love taking them for walks or especially to the park or beach to play fetch! I am a law student so my schedule is set but should be able to help regularly with any pet. Happy to accommodate most requests if they are within reason. Regular potty and walk breaks as needed and will provide food and water according to instructions given. No other pets in my home so it will be a very relaxed environment.
About: I've had animals my whole life. From fish to frogs. Dogs ranging from a Corgi to a Rottweiler. Once had 6 cats and 3 dogs. I currently have a 15yr old hound mix who is half blind and deaf. I am no stranger to medicine and little accidents I work full time Monday through Friday but I have every weekend and evening off! Looking to spend time with any furry friend. I feel as though a walk after a work day is healing. I am an early riser or a night owl. I will walk any distance because I love hiking. Me and your fur baby will go on multiple adventures.
“Kirstin watched our dog on short notice after another sitter had to cancel. She was so great! Our dog was recovering from being sick and Kirstin kept us updated and our dog taken care of. Piper enjoyed herself all weekend and Kirstin took great care of the house as well. We won’t hesitate to have Kirstin sit for us again in the future!”
“Paige did an amazing job with our dog and cats! She was so loving and kind and respectful of our house. She even got our Clark, a sweet little gift before she left. We really enjoyed ourselves on our vacation, knowing that our fur babies were taken care of.”

Melody is conscientious and compassionate caregiver. Our dog got sick while we were away and Melody went above and beyond to take care of him; cleaned up his messes, took him out multiple times in the middle of the night and kept us updated on how he was doing. She could not have been kinder, we highly recommend Melody!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Knellsville is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Knellsville 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 Knellsville 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 Knellsville 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.
