“Daniel cared for our active 16-month Australian Shepherd for 6 days. Our dog appeared happy and well cared for upon our return. Also our house was clean upon our return.”
“I was referred to Ron & Monica by a friend. I had never had anyone who watched my dog stay at my house, so I was hesitant. I connected with Monica via text and she offered to come and meet us and my dog Lexy. Upon meeting her, I was very confident that this would be a good experience! The day of our trip, Monica & Ron arrived right on time. They stayed for 3 days. During that time they walked Lexy multiple times each day, communicated with me via text and sent me pictures. When we got home, my house was as clean as when we left. You would never have known anyone had been there. My husband and I were VERY happy with their care of our dog and our home. I will definitely use them again!”
“We have 5 animals, three cats and two dogs - with one being a baby!! Kristen went above and beyond. I felt very safe having her stay at our house and watch our babies. Can not recommend her enough!”
“Ye was a wonderful pet sitter! Great communication, always on time. Our dogs LOVED her. Even my timid dog warmed up to her fast. She sent us photos and even took our dogs on a walk even though that wasn’t required. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Ye for being amazing!!!!”
“Erin was awesome!! She was quick with responding, provided pictures and updates of Max while we were gone and had a great fenced yard that Max loved 😃. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Erika was a fantastic dog sitter! For our first time using Rover she made it seem like the perfect dog sitting tool. She was very responsive when I was wondering about Vala, she took her on many walks and followed all the instructions to a T. The daily photos that she sent really made me feel at ease with leaving Vala behind.”
“Wendy did a wonderful job and we were able to take a 3 day vacation knowing that our little "older" dog was in good hands. She does an awesome job of sending you photos and letting you know your pet is following their normal routine and enjoying the time they spend with her. We would recommend her to anyone who has a pet that normally takes a while to warm up to new people. The first time Wendy met Chip, it was "love at first sight". Thank you Wendy!”
About: Having grown up with a variety of pets myself (growing up sort of on a farm in the country), I have over 20 years of dedication pet care experience. I have also had 10 years of experience pet sitting for cats/dogs/chickens/ you name it! From playful puppies to senior cats, I ensure all pets in my care feel loved and safe. Whether I am administering detailed medical regiments or following specialized diets, I take care to deliver the best service to owners and families while they are away from their four-legged family members. I am playful, fun, gentle, and nurturing. My approach combines plenty of walks, cuddles, and play time! I work full time but am finished with my work day on Wednesdays and Fridays by 3pm, and Tuesdays by 4pm. I am available weekends and love being active with pets who love to walk/run or chill at home with pets with lower energy. I make sure to keep to a pet’s routine when you are away as it can be stressful for them to not have their primary person there! I adapt to their schedule. I follow their lead: if they are feeling anxious or aloof I never force myself because I want to ensure they feel safe and cared for.
“Brandi did a great job house sitting and importantly taking care of my two dogs. She communicated regularly and sent me pictures. My house was in good order when I returned. I would use her again.”
About: I have had a dog my whole life and love animals. I love the chance to spend time and care for other's animals as well. I currently work part time because I just moved to Idaho and have availability to care for pets in my free time. I would love to play and walk your dog when I am not at my other job and would love the opportunity to provide overnight care too. I am currently working part time so I have somewhat a lot of availability to care for pets during the week or on the weekends I have a backyard and will be able to take your pet on plenty of walks and give them the environment they need to make it through the day.
“This woman is an incredible dog walker and person. Immediately felt comfortable with her after meeting and the animals LOVE her. Polite, progressional, empathetic and an animal lover. Would recommend to any pet owner for dog walking or house sitting.”
“Caitlynn and her golden retriever Ruby stayed with our dog for a week. Ruby is gentle, sweet, and easy going. Caitlynn took great care of our dog and house and left the place clean. We will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Absolute rockstar. Asked all the right questions, and made all the pets feel right at home (which they were). She took great care of the house and stayed in communication during the 2 days I was gone, and bonus points for being able to medicate a very reluctant feline. I will definitely have Kate back to take care of the gang anytime she wants.”
“Do not hesitate to book Alaynah to take care of your pet! She is very responsive, flexible, and has an obvious love for animals. I could tell my dog was getting exceptional care through the photos she would send while we were gone on our trip. When there were unexpected changes in our flight home, Alaynah was extremely helpful and accommodating. I will 100% be rebooking with her”

Ellie was very responsive to my messages. She took great care of my dog who can be nervous around new people. She listened and followed my requests regarding my dog. I appreciated the thoughfulness of the little report card she left. I would absolutely book her again in the future.
Bethany was absolutely wonderful! She had our very shy cat eating treats and coming up to her for attention before we had even driven out of town! She was so kind and caring with our older dog, too, and took her for great walks every day! Bethany, also, did a great job watching our house. We loved the photos she sent every day too.She was the best house/petsitter we’ve ever had and we will definitely use her again. Thank you, Bethany! 😊
So glad I found Mignon to watch my sweet Chloe. Mignon took great care of her with daily walks and left the house looking wonderful and clean. When I walked in the house Mignon had the TV on which showed a picture of a sweet puppy sleeping with soothing music for my pup to enjoy. She also made homemade dog treats. Mignon is super reliable and highly recommended.
Daniel was awesome! On time, responsive, flexible. Our dog Gracie was home and comfortable and well cared for and our house was as we left it upon our return home from vacation. We highly recommend Daniel for house and doggie sitting. We already booked him for another few days coming up in two weeks Thank you so much Daniel
This was our second time booking Erin and it was just as great as the first time. Erin took amazing care of our three dogs. The dogs were relaxed and content when we returned. Erin is very professional and capable which sets our minds at ease We so appreciate being able to leave our dogs in the hands of someone we trust! Thank you Erin!
I highly recommend Lisa for in-home pet sitting. From our very first contact, everything was smooth and easy. She came for a meet and greet and we could tell right away we were in great hands! The communication was terrific, she did lots of extras for our high-maintenance pup, and the house was very well taken care of. I am very grateful for her help so we could get away.
Kellie is an excellent dog sitter! She communicated well throughout the stay and took wonderful care of Knox. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I would absolutely recommend Kellie and would happily have her sit for Knox again!
Olivia was wonderful! She was so communicative and easy to work with. She even came over beforehand to meet the dogs to ease our minds. She sent regular updates on the dogs and sent pictures as well. I would highly recommend her to care for your animals and we will be using her again!
Arica was an incredible dog sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was so kind, patient, and caring with our dog, who can be a little anxious at times. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent, and she was always reliable and thoughtful. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our dog like he was her own. We’re so grateful for everything she did and are already looking forward to having her watch him again in the future. 100% recommend!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Meridian is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $94 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 922 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
