“Kristen was so kind with our pets, she was very good at communicating with us during our trip and we could tell from the photo and video updates that our pets were very happy and well cared for. We are so appreciative of the high quality care and will look forward to booking her again in the future.”
“Kyle took outstanding care of Archie and Rhea (and kept a watchful eye on our home) while we were on vacation. He asked thoughtful questions and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, both pets were happy, healthy, and clearly well-adjusted. Archie and Rhea absolutely adore Kyle—I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again for future trips.”

“Kylie is amazing! She updated me multiple times per my request and she even send me their walking map to show where they went! She is fabulous and will recommend her to anyone...unless I need the dates you want 😁”
“Megan is absolutely amazing! This is the third time she’s stayed with our girls for multiple overnights, and I honestly can’t imagine using anyone else. She takes such incredible care of them, and it’s obvious they absolutely adore her. She communicates throughout the entire stay, sends the BEST updates and photos (seriously, they’re frame-worthy!), and gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. Being able to truly relax on vacation because we know our girls are safe, loved, and spoiled is priceless. We came home to three happy, relaxed pups, and that says everything.

“Morena stayed at our house while we were on vacation. She was extremely friendly, provided lots of updates and we arrived home to a clean house. We will definitely use Morena in the future.”
“Cassie was great! I was afraid my dogs might be a little standoffish because two of them take a while to warm up to people, but by the end of her night here, they all seem to be best buddies! She took great care of them and sent me many great pictures, which I really appreciate. She also sent me updates on how they were doing. She even took them outside and had play time with them. I will definitely recommend her to anyone and will book her again in a heartbeat.”

She met our critters a couple of days before and you could tell that she has a unique love for animals. Gave updates and pics as well to make sure we got to see them while away. HIGHLY recommended and we will definitely be hiring her the next time we are out of town!”

Kyle helped us out in a super short notice. The dogs were happy to meet him. He was very friendly & personable. He met all of our expectations so we could enjoy time away with our family. When we got home the dogs seemed to extremely happy!! We will be using him again in the near future. Thanks so much Kyle!
Cassidy was amazing! She sent daily updates and was very responsive. She followed all of our instructions. Not only did she take care of Brutus but she also took care of our bunny, 2 turkeys and 4 ducks. Everyone was spoiled and happy. She went above and beyond! Our house was even spotless when we got home! I will definitely be using Cassidy in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Massillon on Rover is $44.4 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 523 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Massillon. 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 Massillon 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 Massillon 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 Massillon 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.
