About: I’ve cared for animals of all ages, breeds and personalities. I have experience working with senior pets or pets with disabilities who need medication administered or specialized care. Am also comfortable and capable of working with puppies or dogs of very high energy breeds. My goal is to make sure your pet is safe and well cared for while you are away. I currently work full time as a vet tech but can be available to feed, walk, exercise, potty, and spend time outside your pet before and after work and during my lunch break. I am available most afternoons after 2:30pm and all day Thursdays and Weekends. I offer House Sitting, but please note that I only book them on occasion. If your pet needs to be crated while nobody is home, or has health concerns that require someone to be with someone overnight, I will book them more frequently. I am more than willing to make more stops throughout the day with drop in visits, just please let me know. I also make sure to allow outside time to play to get out some energy. I will care for your pets in your home, reducing any stress of being in an unfamiliar environment. I also have the flexibility to adjust my schedule to fit their needs throughout the day.
“Abby was excellent with our dogs, treating them as her own. She sent pictures and videos every day along with updates. We highly recommend Abby, she truly cares about animals and it shows!”
“Courtney was very sweet and responded quickly to messages. There was a misunderstanding with her work schedule that she would not be in the home for 11 hours. I assumed she would come at lunch to let them out. Never assume - had to call neighbor to let dogs out 2 days as I did not want my dogs left that long without a potty break. Otherwise, all was good.”
“Paul took great care of our two puppies while we were on vacation! He sent multiple updates daily with pictures, and they were extremely well cared for. We never had to worry about them, and we were able to enjoy our vacation! I would leave my pets with Paul anytime!!”

“Amanda was wonderful with our JoJo and Lexi. Amanda is kind and very good with animals.

I'm very happy to have had Amanda at our home and will definitely use her services again.”

“Emma is amazing! I loved that she wanted to meet me and Lacey before she accepted a job. It was important to her that we were all on the same page. I was able to talk about Laceys needs and routine in person, which really made me feel at ease. When the weekend came for her to stay at our house I was completely comfortable leaving Lacey in her care. She gave me updates and pictures which was great. Thank you Emma!!!!”

About: Ever since the Beagle my parents brought into our family when I was a kid, I've been a dog person. As an adult, my partner and I were custodians of one sassy Chihuahua who lived to 16 and a half, and since her passing we've adopted a rat terrier mix as well as another Chi. While I have an undeniable fondness for small breeds, I love dogs of all shapes and sizes (I've spent a lot of time around Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and Chow Chow mixes, so I know I can handle the physical demands of larger breeds). My terrier and I graduated from Mad 4 My Dog's basic obedience training course, so I've learned effective techniques for dog-walking and verbal commands. Dogs thrive around humans who are receptive to their needs, especially for exercise and mental stimulation, so whether I'm home with my own two dogs or spending time with friends' or family members' dogs, I try to provide not only affection but also the calmness and consistency that let a dog know they are safe and can trust me. I'm currently completing coursework in pursuit of a new professional license, but since my classes meet only on weekends, I am wide open from mornings through evenings throughout most of the week! When caring for pets in clients' homes, I'll happily uphold all "house rules" concerning where dogs are and aren't allowed to be, both inside and out. Safety should be every pet-sitter's #1 priority, so when your dog is in my care, I'll do my best to minimize all foreseeable hazards.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kohlsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 482 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kohlsville. 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 Kohlsville 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 Kohlsville 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 Kohlsville 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.
