Lily is wonderful. She was on time and worked so well with our pet German Shepherd who was a little apprehensive with a new person. Such a professional and an amazing sitter. Will call her again for sure.

About: Hi I consider myself a animal connoisseur. I’ve been around animals since a kid. I’ve had many of my own. I currently have two kitties and a female cane Corso/ bully mixed named Sasha. I love animals . I research them all the time and I’m very knowledgeable I currently work at home which allows me to have more of a relaxed schedule for me to be able to work other jobs. It’s very cool. I’m very careful with my animals because they are essentially little toddlers . I’m big on giving a cat or a dog the best fullest life possible whether that be by walking them a lot to work off their energy, feeding them raw foods and veggies and supplements. I treat any animal like it’s my own child and I can ensure the absolute best care!

About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals such as; dogs, cats, birds, turtles and even fishes. I enjoy helping people care for their pets while being at work, school or out for vacationing. It’s been my passion to help train animals and feed them and take them for vaccinations or grooming and walks and etc. I’m currently working part time due to myself having a kid to take care of but other than that I can still manage to take care of any animal that is in need of a caring home. I’m also available to provide services at my own home just as well as going to someone else home. I’m available five days out the week during early mornings or late evenings. I provide toys, cages, food, water and little treats for dogs and cats or birds. I play with them bathe them, walk them feed them and also train them as well if needed.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have raised my 13 year old dachshund and 8 year old Great Dane! I have been pet sitting for my friends and family for many years! I love all animals! I currently travel the states with my husband for his job. I am free all hours of the week. I can check on your pets or simply walk them for you! Unfortunately, we move every month so I can not do long term visits. I am honored to help out as much as I can. A pets safety is my top priority! I never let the pets out of my sight and follow all pet instructions carefully. My 13 year old dog is on several medications, so I am very particular about how someone else takes care of her. I would never want my clients to worry that their pets are not being taken care of.

Leo and Brownie enjoyed staying at Emily's house for the day. They got to be couch potatoes just like at home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Meridian

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Meridian on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
