“Emily did a great job! I got pics and updates every day, she sat with the dogs through 4th of July (never fun) and she left the house cleaner than I left it for her (embarrassing, but very nice).”

“Katie was open to a last minute , short term booking to fill gap with another sitter and was even willing to stay late incase my flight was delayed! My pup is a rescue - very anxious, unpredictably reactive and needs constant attention but she handled him like a pro! He was so relaxed and calm when I got back. Thank you Katie!!”


About: I am observant and attentive to animal needs. I’ve worked as a barn hand for 40 horses, volunteered with wildlife rescue, and completed pet & equine first aid training. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra patience, I’ll provide reliable, loving care and plenty of attention. I’ve recently relocated to Tallahassee from Oregon. I plan to attend school part-time in the fall 2026. I’m not seeking other employment at this time. My willingness & availability are open and my car is dependable! I’m willing to check in on your pet or stay the night. Either way I can be trusted to treat your home respectfully and follow routine care for your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of different breeds and ages for as long as I can remember! I have experience administering medication to senior dogs. I love to do more than just feed and check on them, like play, walk, and cuddle! I have two kitties of my own, and we have had wiener dogs in the family since childhood! I’m pretty open and available to follow your schedule! I typically have gone twice a day when I watch my friend’s animals, it just depends on what they prefer and what they think is best! I am very flexible. I will care for your pets and home as if they are my own! I love animals, it’s a pleasure to spend time with them. I will accommodate to your pets needs as you see fit!
About: I work full time as a lead emergency veterinary technician. Love spending time with all animals from puppies, seniors all the way to being there for end of life care. Available for in home boardings, mine or yours. Cuddle and play time are important so I make sure I spend as much time with your baby so they are stress feee and comfortable. I have a fenced in yard. All animals allowed on the furniture. I want it to feel like they are home when they are here.
“Andrew is great! He really cared about our dog and frequently updated us on how the dog was doing. He also left the house spotless. We will definitely hire him again.”

“Shelby did a great job looking after our dog, Atticus . She sent frequent messages and pictures about how he was doing , ( which we loved) and responded promptly if we contacted her . Atticus is very scared of storms and it was stormy while we were gone . Shelby was calm, patient and helpful about helping him feel as comfortable as possible during these times . When we arrived home Atticus was happy and the house looked great , We will definitely use Shelby again , she was wonderful.”


“Louisa did an amazing job! I have a kitty with special care/feeding instructions that require attention to detail that she followed perfectly. She also took great care of my home and provided updates on everything as I away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals just from our initial meet & greet too. I always get so nervous leaving my cat when I go on trips but Louisa absolutely earned my trust and I will be booking with her again in the future for sure as long as she’s still pet sitting. Thank you so much again :)”

“As this was only the second time leaving my dog with someone else, I was understandably anxious. However, Deborah's attentiveness to my dog's needs made all the difference. She kept me updated on how my dog was adjusting, sharing uodates and photos. The fact that Deborah even offered to pick up and drop off my dog at my house was above and beyond what I expected. Her dedication and kindness truly made this experience fantastic. I can't recommend her enough!”

About: I have taken care of my own 2 cats for 14 years. I have experience with grooming, nail care, feeding, and litter box care. I have experience in care for cats rangeing from kittens to senior cats. I also have experience with dogs. Living with 3 in the past 15 years. Sizes ranging from medium to large breed. I have also cared for dogs ranging from micro to small. I have experience with toilet training, grooming, and dog walking. I currently work part time. I have more availability at night and late afternoon. However, I am able to move my schedules around if given enough notice, 1 to 2 weeks in advance. I have a pet gate in my home. I also have a fenced in yard with a doggy door. My pets enjoy coming in and out to enjoy the sun. All of my pets are fed a healthy and weight control diet.

About: I love all animals and have experience with animals with minor medical needs (ie. pills, shots, creams, etc). I have 2 dogs and am a 4x foster with LCHS with three of them being medical foster puppies. I also have 6 cats who have all come from different situations and back rounds. I excel at following your pets schedule and needs. I commonly house sit for a 100+ lb dog and am more than willing to watch your dog at my home as long as they are good with other dogs and cats. I work a full time job M-F but am able to do lunchtime potty breaks. If you are interested in booking over weekdays it would be best that your fur baby can be alone for 4 hour increments. If your pet is people/pet friendly and you approve I am able to bring dogs to my office space. We do not have a fenced yard but live in a very walkable area. Our dogs are crate trained and we have no problem crating your fur baby or leaving them out per your preference.
About: I’ve had a dog of my own for a good majority of my life. I believe that animals can be just as affected by schedule as a human. With that being said, whatever schedule or specific requests and wishes you have id be happy to follow. I want to keep your pet as happy and comfortable as possible. I have a lot of empty time on my hands. I’m not currently in college and I work one job where the hours are minimal. I would only do as I am told I am allowed. If your pet is on a certain diet I don’t want to give them something they aren’t allowed to have. I am used to walking big dogs so if that’s something you’re worried about, don’t be. If am unsure I will ask to ensure I do not harm your babies. I had a dog for a very long time growing up and I absolutely adored her. I’ve also had a few other dogs as well. Sadly the place I live at currently I’m not allowed to have pets, so I thought why not enjoy pets without the consequence. I would love to care for your furry friends and keep their tails wagging ☺️.

About: Throughout my life, I have always been drawn to animals. I have grown up interacting with dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, and more. In 2016, my family dog, Cayson, entered my life. Through caring for him, my love for animals intensified, as well as my caretaking skills. In my career, I am a caregiver, and that definitely spills over into how I take care of animals: with love, understanding, and care. I am currently working part-time as a CNA, so my weeks are relatively flexible. I have reliable transportation and I’m willing to travel to best accommodate owners. I care for any and all pets through asking the owner very thorough questions, paying attention to detail, and extending the same love and care I have for my own pet onto them.

About: Hey there I’m a stay at home mom who is also lifelong animal lover and pet owner who understands what it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have my own cat and dog at home, so I know firsthand how much routine, patience, and attention to individual personality matters — no two pets are the same. I have particular experience with senior pets and animals with anxiety — knowing how to move slowly, read body language, and create a calm, predictable environment so they feel secure rather than stressed. I’ve cared for dogs and cats through walking, sitting, and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet in my care exactly how I’d want mine treated. Whether your pet needs gentle exercise, quiet companionship, feeding, playtime, or just a calm and patient presence, I’m committed to making them feel safe and loved. Along with that I have also cared for a variety of pets, including spiders and other small animals. Services Offered: Dog walking Pet sitting Feeding and fresh water Playtime and companionship Care for cats, dogs, spiders, and other small pets Basic updates and photos while you're away Your pets are family—and we'll treat them like family too. a stay-at-home homeschooling mom, I have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day, allowing me to accommodate pet walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and pet sitting. . Because we are home most of the day, we can accommodate a variety of schedules and give pets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Safety, trust, and respect are my top priorities when caring for pets in their own homes. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I strive to maintain their normal routines and provide consistent, loving care. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household rules to ensure each pet's well-being.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I currently own 3 large pit-bulls. I take good care of them which includes giving baths, taking them on walks, playing with them, cuddling, and taking them on adventures🩷 I have a 9-5 job, but will have time both before and after to take care of your dog. My priority is you dog. I am available for doggy daycare over the weekends☺️ I have a 0.3 Acres fenced in backyard and lots of toys and activity. I also have 3 fur babies that are super friendly and love playing with other dogs. Basically making it a "homemade" dog park. But my biggest priority is to make sure your dog is getting the attention it needs and the safety. All the dogs will be introduced to make sure everything is good. In addition, my backyard can be separated into two part for safety.

“Raven went above and beyond while house/pet sitting my two dogs. Medications were taken care of, enrichment toys were used, and lots of treatos were given. My dogs were way more difficult than either of us expected, and she still maintained professionalism and exceptional care. She earned the trust of my extremely anxious foster dog, and dealt with my personal dog’s jealousy. My dog *intentionally* PEED on her PHONE and Raven didn’t just immediately quit. I probably would have. She gave me multiple updates with pictures each day, and made sure I knew they were in capable hands. I was especially impressed with her honesty and transparency when there was a small mishap. She immediately notified me and asked what I wanted done, as opposed to other sitters who might’ve just hoped it didn’t become a bigger problem later. I’m sure it was nerve wracking for her, but it made me trust her immensely, knowing that I could count on her to be straightforward. I will absolutely be asking her to sit for me again, if she can ever forgive my a$$hole dog 😅”

About: For the past 8 years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their pets — from energetic puppies to senior companions, as well as cats, parrots, and fish. I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, shapes, and sizes, handling everything from walks, feeding, bathing, and playtime to litter cleaning and providing attentive companionship. Through this hands-on experience, I’ve learned how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that means keeping up with a playful pup’s energy or providing gentle, patient care for older pets. Beyond meeting their daily needs, I focus on building trust and creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment so every pet feels at home while you’re away. My dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals shine through in the care I provide. When you book with me, you’re choosing someone who will treat your pet like family and give them the personalized attention they deserve. View my calendar to find dates that align with your schedule and needs. My availability is very clear! Leaving more than enough time for me to visit and cater to your pet's needs. I currently have completely open availability in my schedule. I am open to visits, walks, house sittings, or overnight stays. I have a fenced backyard where your fur baby will have ample space to roam. I am also more than willing to visit clients' homes.
“Carolina was amazing with my pup Riley. He is 15 years old and requires a lot of extra care, including strict medication schedules, timed feedings, and regular walks. He isn’t the easiest dog to look after, but Carolina was attentive, reliable, and very hands-on with his care. She sent frequent photo updates and kept me consistently informed, which gave me so much peace of mind. As an older chihuahua, Riley can be a little grumpy (okay, sometimes mean), but Carolina was completely unfazed and handled him with so much patience and gentleness. I felt totally comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. She is a wonderful sitter, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. In the past couple of years, I even started taking care of horses! I’m open to learn anything about pet sitting and see this as a great way to help out those in my community. I’m a current graduate student in class most of the day. After 5 pm might work best and weekends are usually open. I’m open to work around schedule if necessary. I would be honored to pet sit in your home honor any wishes to maintain boundaries and respect of your private space. Please let me know in advance of any specific needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Meridian on Rover is $34.11 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 343 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Meridian. 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 Meridian 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 Meridian 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 Meridian 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.
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.
