“Caroline H. was great! I really appreciated that she reached out a few days in advance so I felt confident there would be no hiccups on the start date. I also appreciated that she stripped the bed and started the washing machine with her sheets and towels before we came home. She was understanding when, after the wedding, I was delayed and my brother and his wife arrived back at the house before me. But most importantly, I could tell she treated our dog well while were were away!”
“Teaghan took excellent care of our dog. She communicates well and is very responsive. She sent pictures and kept in good contact while she was at our home. It was our first time using Rover and we are so pleased with our experience with Teaghan!”
“Brianna was wonderful. My dog Henry can be a bit anxious when Im away but he warmed up to her immediately. She was very attentive to his needs and took excellent care of him. I will definitely book with her again and I highly recommend her.”
About: I have grown up with animals of all types. Dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, frogs, etc! I have a lot of love for all animals, of all ages, shapes and sizes! I currently have a 9 month old boxer and a 2 year old betta fish. I grew up with two chihuahuas as well. I previously fostered a 140 pound pitbull/american bulldog and had 4 cats! I will provide love and care to your sweet pets as if they were my own. I am currently working full time as a nurse and will only be available on weekends or Friday evenings. I will also be available on Thursday evening as well! I will be able to take care of your animal however you need. I can administer medications as needed and provide medical care as well. Whatever you need, I can do it for you!
“Cannot say enough good things about Amalie! Great communicator, extremely responsible, very flexible, and always willing to help. She really cares about the pets she takes care of and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again when we need someone to stay at our house and watch our cat & dog. A+++”
“Enzo made a new friend! Raven was great. We would definitely recommend her services. We felt confident and comfortable with Enzo in Raven’s care, which was really important to us.”
“Megan M gets an A+++ from Milo and Mo. Why we love Megan - she is super nice, reliable, smart, trustworthy, very neat, follows instructions, sends great videos, photos, and messages - Milo loves her, my neighbors are asking about her, and she took great care of Milo. What more could I ask for while I was away.”
“Alexis was wonderful. She was very attentive to Shep. She walked and played with him and took him out on adventures. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures. I would highly recommend and look forward to her dog sitting again. I know Shep misses her already.”
About: Hi There! I'm a retired athlete who loves to keep active and be around animals. I have a food science degree and have a deep understanding for the do's and dont's for animal nutrition. I also am a licensed EMT and like to think I have a natural first responder gene to all heart beats. I work as a trainer and train clients from my garage 2-7p 4 days/ week. I am able to walk peta between clients or have a pet with me on the job if they like being around others and enjoy the extra love and attention from my clients. I offer a lot of attention, energy, and knowledge in care as a health provider. I think pets, like people, are intuitive and can pick up on things. I offer plenty of outdoor walks, hikes (if possible), and even jogging (again if possible). I'm also able to adjust to breeds of lower energy and can be a couch potato and offer plenty of back scratches and tummy rubs.
“I can’t thank Maria K. enough for her kindess & sincere love and care of my dog this past weekend. Even though it was a pretty last minute request on rover, she went above and beyond to meet with me and my dog ahead of her appointment to house sit. She took the time to find out her feedings, routine and even walked around the neighborhood with me to check out the surroundings. During her housesitting, she also sent adorable photos of her having fun with our dog. She is very warm, personable and just did an outstanding job with our dog. I trusted her wholeheartedly in our home & would highly recommend her to anyone seeking her services. It was my very first time using rover & the bar was set extremely HIGH, I will be her repeat customer for sure!!”
“Kay was wonderful! She came for a meet and greet the day before and Willy, our pup, instantly loved her. Me too! She took great care of our dog and was an excellent communicator. I highly recommend Kay-she’s amazing!”
“From the beginning, the communication was clear and prompt. Sophia took the time to ask detailed questions about Roxies routine, feeding preferences, and any behavioral quirks. This level of attentiveness reinforced my confidence that my pup would be well cared for. During the sitting period, she sent regular updates and photos, which immediately put my mind at ease. It was clear that my dog was not just being looked after but was also engaged and having a great time. I appreciated this transparency, as it allowed me to enjoy my time away without any worries. Upon my return, my dog was happy and healthy, and I could tell that they formed a nice bond. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely recommend her dog sitting service to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet care.”
“Jeff did a great job with our cat. He was attentive, friendly, followed directions and gave us timely updates. Our cat has some special needs due to his age and health and it didn't phase Jeff in least -- he has an older cat of his own and he knows how to work with cats. Please don't hesitate to contact him for your cat's needs.”
“Rachel was a wonderful sitter for our dog Moose. She took the time to do a meet and greet prior to watching him, was great at communicating during the visit, and sent lots of sweet pictures.”
About: My partner and I have been caring for animals from bunnies to horses for our entire lives. Friends and family have relied and continue to rely on us to walk, feed, and board their pets. We do this because we love the companionship pups! Pets will be carefully looked after by my partner and I. They’ll be preoccupied daily with loads of activities! Parents are welcome to pictures/videos while they’re away. Your pets will have access to food/water, furniture, toys, undivided attention and unconditional love! Our dogs start the day by zooming and playing in our fully fenced in yard. Throughout the day we practice commands and do various activities. Here, we love dog puzzles and mentally and physically stimulating activities! Our house is pet friendly with plenty of space to play inside or out, depending on the weather. We also have pets of our own, who are very high energy and playful! We prefer gradual introductions to keep everyone calm and safe so your dogs will not meet ours during initial meet and greets. They’ll likely only meet ours if they stay multiple times or for more than 3 days. Entering a new environment or being cared for by someone new can be stressful for pets so we pay close attention to how each pet responds and acts and make sure to cater according to their individual needs, giving them space or activities as needed. Your pet will be loved, safe, and well cared for while they are here!
“Hannah stayed at our home with our two dogs for ten days while we were on vacation. Unfortunately, one of our dogs wasn't feeling the best and Hannah was very patient and took great care of her. She provided daily updates and pictures which our whole family enjoyed. The house was left neat and in order. We would not hesitate at all to have her help us again in the future. Thank you so much, Hannah!”

Amanda is our go-to for pet sitting & occasional dog walking. We have hired her for years - and we always know that we can relax and enjoy our vacation because she is taking such great care of our pup and two cats. Highly recommend. We have never had a concern about reliability or the care of our home.
This is our second time booking with Margaret and she has been absolutely wonderful! She’s taken great care of our German Shepherd and been prompt, reliable, and communicative. Our dog loves her and my stepdaughter loves the pictures she sends too! I will absolutely continue to rebook with Margaret for sitting in the future and would highly recommend her.
Jessica was absolutely great. We were very nervous about leaving our dogs with a sitter for the first time but Jessica made those nerves go away. It was hard to find a sitter a 2 months before our 5 day trip so finding Jessica was a blessing. She was great with our dogs & our dogs got along with her from day one. She was reliable, professional, punctual & most of all she truly took care of our boys as if they were hers. She sent daily videos & pictures. Always responded when we had questions. Always contacted us if she needed something. She even was available to check on the dogs during the day after our flight got canceled due to mechanical issues amd we couldn’t get another flight until Thursday night and we were panicking because our booking was supposed to end on Wednesday. She found a way to fit us in so she could stop by and check in on the dogs on Thursday morning and evening. We will definitely be using her again real soon. I highly recommend her.
Brianna was so thoughtful - took excellent care of our two senior citizen pups. Very communicative on how they were doing, eating, etc. Sent us pics. If she wasn't sure about something, she asked. Made us feel confident that our dogs were getting the best care. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mansfield Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mansfield Center on Rover is $54.5 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 6,513 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mansfield Center. 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 Mansfield Center 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 Mansfield Center 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 Mansfield Center 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
