“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.”
“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!!”
“Daniel was so great! He came over and met my fur children before I left for my trip and I felt very comfortable leaving them in his care! He was great with sending me updates throughout my trip and left my house pretty much as was when I left. He cleaned up after himself and my pups (since they had accidents inside and I had told him how I clean it). Would definitely have him back and couldn’t recommend a better house/fur children sitter!!!!”
“Top notch experience w/ Mignon! She took excellent care of our pup and home while we were away for four days. She was very communicative and enthusiastic during the entire process. We will definitely utilize her services again. Thanks, Mignon!”
“Ron and Monica were very personable in there face to face and did a good job with Boo and Smoky. Boo's stress level is so much better since using Rover house sitters.”
“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 extremely impressed with Alex! She took such amazing care of our fur babies and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She was super communicative and sent me daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. When I got home, both dogs were happy, content, and clearly very well cared for. Thank you so much, Alex! We truly appreciate you loving on our babies like they were your own. ❤️🐾”
“Another wonderful stay with Shaun! We always return to happy dogs and a tidy home. We’re truly grateful for his caring and outstanding attention to our fur babies. Thank you, Shaun!”
“I was so very grateful for Emily. She sent pictures, texted, responded quickly to my texts. When she came to do a meet and greet, before we went on vacation, I knew in a few minutes that I could trust her with my house and my three 80lb+ dogs. I was able to relax on vacation knowing she is very responsible and communicative. Thank you again and again Emily. I will recommend you to all of my friends up here on the mesa. Tracy McDonald”
“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!!!!”

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!!
Cecilia was great with our 2 senior dogs and our last minute trip. She communicated promptly and eased all my worries while I was overseas. She also sent lots of pictures. For my first experience with a sitter and rover this was great. Will definitely rebook.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Meridian on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 937 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.
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
- 97% 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.
