“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!”
“Traci was amazing for the 12 days she spent at my house with my dog Hazel while I was on a trip. She sent pictures and reported on Hazel's activities every evening. Hazel appeared calm and happy, playful as usual. Traci took excellent care of my home and went above and beyond my expectations with the extras she did while she was here, which was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated. I will definitely keep her at the top of my list when I'm away again. Thank you so much, Traci!!”
“Danny did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies. We have two large Irish Wolfhounds and two pampered cats. He did not shy away from the challenge. The dogs loved him and enjoyed their long walks. Danny was great with communication… asked questions I didn’t even think about before we went out of town and communicated regularly with us with any questions that came up. Highly recommend him.”
“Shaun did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. He met all their needs and wants with playtime and snuggles. He did well communicating and sending pictures during the trip. I'll definitely have Shaun back soon to watch our pups.”
“Mignon was fantastic. She stayed at our home with our dogs and cats. She sent lots of updates with pics throughout the day. We appreciated her being so quick to respond, attentive to our animals needs, and staying at our place the majority of the time. Our pups never went longer than 4 hours of not being outside. We have a rescue that is very shy and she warmed up to Mignon after a day. Mignon was great! Would love to have her stay with us again. Thanks Mignon!”
“Our experience with Brittaney exceeded ALL our expectations! The house was most definitely cleaner than we had left it and the dogs were happy, well fed and taken care of! Brittaney let us know each day via photos and messages how the dogs were doing which was very comforting. Brittaney is a very loving person and well educated in animal science. After our initial meet and greet, one of our more aloof dogs showed immediate affection towards Brittaney! After meeting Brittaney, we felt confident the dogs would be happy and well taken care of and we proceeded to have a carefree vacation! Yay! We will most definitely ask Brittaney back again.”
“Ellie was wonderful! She took such great care of Knox, and we felt confident knowing he was in such good hands. We really appreciate the love and attention she gave him. We would absolutely recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter, and we would definitely use her again!”
“Rain did a great job taking care of our two dogs and chickens while we were gone! She ensured they were comfortable and got plenty of play time. The house was clean and tidy after her stay and she cleaned up the yard too!! We will be using her services again forsure, highly recommend.”
“Kristen was wonderful with our two senior pups. We really appreciate how she communicated with us throughout our weekend trip and she even sent some cute photos to give us extra reassurance! Our home was well taken care of and most of all our puppies seemed happy and healthy upon our return. Highly recommend!”
About: Pets are family to me, and although I don’t have pets of my own yet, pets love me like their own. From my neighbor’s dog, who is my special girl, to the neighborhood cats that are welcome in my yard any time, I love all pets. I volunteer at the Idaho humane society in my spare time. I’d be happy to take wonderful care of your furry family member. I work part time, with lots of availability on weekends and weekdays to care for your pet. I can stop by multiple times a day, for whatever needs your pet has. Safety and security is the top priority for your pet. I can make sure they’re comfortable and cared for in their own environment. I believe a pet is most comfortable in a familiar space while their family is away.
“Alexandra did a wonderful job watching our multiple pets, and we know they can sometimes be a handful to care for. Her overall communication was great - she even included daily photos for us! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for one or more pets at a time and will definitely use her again when needed. :)”
About: I have never lived in a home without dogs or animals. I have watched and taken care of many friends and families pets throughout the years. I playing with them and taking them on walks and adventures! It brings a smile to my face when I see how happy they are to be out having fun! I work a part time job and I choose my own schedule for the most part. I also coach in the evening. So my mornings and early afternoons are typically pretty open during the week. I can’t have dogs in my home at the time but when it comes to my clients home I care for the pets just like my own. I would hang out with them, take them on walks, play with them, and make sure they have food and water and other needed things.
“Beverly was quick to respond to our request for her services for our dog, Blu, for 4 days. She came to meet us about 3 weeks before her stay to get acquainted with us and our dog. She then came over about 3 days before we left to reacquaint with Blu and for specific house questions. She asked questions to familiarize herself with Blu and the house. When we got home from our trip, we came home to a happy dog and we were very pleased with our experience with Beverly. We definitely would use Beverly again!”
“Caitlynn was kind, responsible, and a great communicator. She walked the dogs, house sat overnight, and sent pictures a few different times. I felt at ease with my dogs under her care.”
“This is my first time using Rover and I was nervous at first. Leaving my babies alone with someone I don’t know to take care of them. But Hunter put me at ease with text daily, pictures of the pups. My dogs seemed so relaxed in the picture that it made me feel a lot better about being gone. I’ve always had family watch the dogs. And one time we put them in a kennel (I don’t wanna talk about it lol). This has given me another opportunity to travel and know my dogs are happy and safe with Hunter. We will be using her often for our travels. Thank you Hunter.”
“Penny was wonderful, our little kitty was very well taken care of! We got photos and updates daily, and they even checked our mail and brought in packages for us. On top of all that, the house was sparkling clean when we got home. Will definitely rebook!”

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.
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 $44 per night as of November 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 November 2026, there are 918 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Meridian. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
