“Daniel took AMAZING care of my pets and my home!! I have chickens, an indoor cat, & a 12 month old Great Pyrenees, who is pretty difficult. He is either high strung or napping… there’s no middle ground. Daniel’s calm demeanor was just what was needed to create a successful stay with my dog! He took him walking with other dogs which was great & Daniel seemed to have managed quite well. The hens and kitty appeared to have also been taken care of perfectly! I hope to have Daniel come back and stay for my next getaway! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“Traci was absolutely incredible and we are so grateful for the love and care she gave our sweet old mastiff. She was loving and attentive and was sending us pictures and updates daily. We came home to a happy and relaxed dog, clean home, watered plants and fed fish. Thank you so much again, Traci!”
“Mignon is an excellent dog sitter. We felt very confident that our fur baby was well taken care of. She sent us photos and communicated with us. We will definitely hire her again.”
“First time using Rover. Overall great experience. Elise responds quick and was on time. She sent pictures and daily updates. Dogs seemed to really like her. We will be using Rover again!”
“Arielle watched our two elderly dogs for a quick overnight trip and did a great job. She kept me updated with pictures and the house was clean and orderly when we returned. We will definitely use her again!”
“Kayla is a gem, and was so wonderful taking care of my Macie Grace and home! Macie was clearly very happy and well cared for while I was gone, which gave me peace of mind because Macie does have some separation anxiety. Kayla kept me updated on a regular basis and is excellent at communicating. She's very reliable and responsive. I will most definitely use Kayla again for travel when I cannot take my pup.”
“Daniel was wonderful with my puppy. I was so nervous to leave my puppy for the first time and he made it a very comfortable experience. He had a great response rate to all my questions and was very personable. He came over for a meet and greet before I booked him, and sent me lots of pictures of their time together while I was away. After I returned, my puppy sat by the guest room door looking for her new best friend, you could tell she really missed him, it was really sweet! I will hands down book with Daniel the next time I need pet care!”
“We are so grateful to have found Ashley here on Rover! She took such great care of our Lab, Lilah, our shy kitty and our home while we were away. She played with and walked our dog often and send cute picture updates. We would highly recommend Ashley to anyone.”
“Liz took great care of Echo and Luna, she sent photos and videos of them so we could stay up to date on how they were doing. We appreciate her loving on them.”
“Here’s a clean, warm option you can post as-is: We had a wonderful experience! Jenn took such great care of our dog, Theo, and kept us updated, which gave us total peace of mind. Our pup was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. Reliable, kind, and attentive — we would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent pet care!”
“Ron and Monica are the best. Not only do they treat our Maddie like royalty but they treat our home better than we do. They saved us on this trip. We got stuck in a blizzard in Utah and had to ask them to stay longer than they originally agreed to stay. Couldn’t ask for better people to take care of our sweet pup.”
“Christian did everything that was expected. House was left clean. Both of my big dogs were walked at least once a day, and also played with outside. They were given lots of attention. I would use him again.”
“Andrea was fantastic! She took great care of Duncan and the house. We received updates with pictures through out the day. You can tell she really puts a lot of time and energy into the animals she cares for. We will definitely contact her for future visits!!”
“I was able to go camping for a weekend and know that my dog was very well loved and taken care of as if I was still there. Emilee sent a bunch of pictures to update me on how my pup was doing and made sure my place looked the same as when I left. If you need someone to trust with your dog, Emilee is your person.”
“Jennifer is fantastic. I immediately felt comfortable with her in my home; the dogs loved her. It’s very obvious she is an animal person, would definitely recommend”
“Lisa was so patient and good with Stache. He has lots of quirks and she was flexible and didn't give up on winning his trust. He feels very comfortable with her; which is why we will always have her as our dog sitter”
“Duncan was well taken care of by Rosalyn! She sent us great pictures and videos of their play time. She took him for long walks and played fetch with him in the backyard. Rosalyn also took wonderful care of the house. Thank you Rosalyn! You went above and beyond! We look forward to using your services again!”

Lisa was outstanding! She was friendly, personable, prompt, and communicative throughout the entire process. When we arrived home, our house was in immaculate condition. She even thoughtfully asked if we would like our sheets washed. Lisa was incredibly easygoing and adaptable, which I really appreciated. Everything felt effortless and stress-free. We look forward to working with her again in the future and would highly recommend her to others.

I believe Ye Lim is an animal whisperer. She cared for my 2 cats and 2 dogs. She communicated through texts along with pictures of my happy well cared for critter family. She went above and beyond my expectations and I would highly recommend Ye Lim without hesitation.
As our first time using Rover, we scrolled through lots of options for a sitter, but after reading reviews, we felt Ava would be a good fit. And we made the right choice. After booking, we set up a time for her to meet us and Coby, and we felt a sense of relief that Coby would be in good hands. Ava arrived at the scheduled time, which allowed us to leave after we said our "see you laters" to Coby. Soon we were on the road, knowing Coby was being taken care of with Walks, Feedings, and support as she would be missing us too. Ava provided us with good communication and pictures, and it allowed us to not have to worry about Coby at all. We would definitely recommend Ava for anyone needing a dog sitter, and will most likely use her again in the future.
Megan was friendly, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. She met with us and Ronan before our trip and followed all of our requests. She took Ronan on long walks and sent us daily updates. We would happily have Megan watch Ronan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Meridian
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Meridian on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 958 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
