“Emma was the best! She loved on and cared for my dogs just as I would while I was on vacation. She went above and beyond if I needed help with my other animals as well. She sent pictures everyday and let me know anything that was going on. She was truly the best and I really relaxed on vacation instead of worrying about my pups. Thank you Emma!”
About: I've been exposed to all kinds of different animals of different levels of training with my Pre-Vet education and am more than experienced with teaching and basic training skills I'm currently a full time Pre-Vet/Equine Science double major, looking for a good way to earn some money while still being able to balance my school work. I love animals and am hoping to spend time around animals while still being able to make a little money. I am well experienced with many different kinds of dogs and will be able to provide my own materials such as treats and leashes to be able to well love animals of any need!
About: I’m a third-year veterinary technology student at Murray State. I have 4 years of hands-on experience working at a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility in Indianapolis. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, gaining experience with feeding, exercise, playgroups, basic grooming, and safe handling. I currently work at the facility seasonally when I return home to Indianapolis. I also have experience caring for cats and horses. I have my own cat, live with a roommate who has a cat and two horses, and over the summer I gained hands-on experience interning with horse rehabilitation. Through my veterinary technology education and hands-on animal care experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and overall well-being. I truly love working with animals and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and individualized care for every pet. My schedule as a student-athlete at Murray State is structured, which allows me to plan my pet-care responsibilities around my classes and track practices. I have morning practices and some afternoon practices throughout the week, with classes primarily in the middle of the day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I don’t have classes on Tuesdays or Thursdays, giving me more flexibility to provide longer visits and more consistent care on those days. I’m very responsible with my time and would make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need while fitting their routine into my schedule. I take the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet very seriously. As a third-year veterinary technician student and someone with 4 years of experience working at a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, I’m comfortable recognizing different behaviors, handling animals safely, and paying attention to changes in their health or routine. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets are in a clean, secure, and comfortable environment. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while they’re in my care.
About: With wanting to be a Vet Tech in my near future, caring for animals is like my second nature. I offer drop in visits anytime you need help with your pet. I will even spend the night and house sit for you as well. Another addition to hiring me, is that I will walk your pets. Whether it is a younger animal who needs to burn some energy or an older animal who just needs some extra love. At my home, I care for two dogs and two cats so experience isn’t an issue. Plus i was a manger at a dog boarding place in Bowling Green! I promise to put your pets needs first before anything else. I hope to hear from you very soon and I’m so excited to meet you and your pets. Thanks! I work at a dog boarding place. Fitting in your pet care is easy. I work part time and available every night and morning. My schedule is very flexible and your pets needs come first. Taking care of your pet is easy as I will follow the rules you give me. If they are crate trained or not I am comfortable doing anything, including giving shots.
“Whitney did an awesome job with my dogs they loved her. She walked them alot, stayed with them, kept the place clean, and had no problem doing a couple things to keep my trailer pipes from freezing, leaving water dripping and keeping heater near pipes running till it warmed up. She sent videos and pictures of the dogs to lete know they were doing good..she's very trustworthy and caring with the animals. I would definitely have her back in the future.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Mayfield is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $31 per night.

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 Mayfield 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 Mayfield 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 Mayfield 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
