“Margaret took care of my two cats for 16 days, and I couldn’t be happier. She was responsive, met with us beforehand, followed all instructions, and my cats adored her. They were clearly well cared for and comfortable. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable and caring cat sitter!”
About: I started working with animals in high school, accruing hundreds of volunteer hours at my local animal shelter, where I honed in on my passion for pet care. As I transitioned to university life, I started walking dogs on the weekends, and really enjoy getting to hang out and provide for other people's pets. I have open availability through most of the week, and for late-evening drop ins over the weekends. This allows me a lot of time and flexibility to devote to caring for your pets. Communication is key, and I strive to ensure all preferences are met during my visit/walk with your pet! I will frequently send updates, such as photos from during my visit/walk, and a little blurb about what your pet and I got up!
“Judy was great. Our geriatric dogs loved her and she took great care of them. They both are on medications and are a bit needy and she cared for them like they were her own. She took wonderful care of our home as well. Thanks Judy!!!”
About: Hi! I'm Cassie, and I provide dependable, attentive care for both pets and the homes they live in. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you're away by treating your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My background includes house sitting, pet sitting, managing residential properties, and hosting my own Airbnb, giving me extensive experience keeping homes secure, organized, and well cared for. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, following detailed routines, administering basic medications when needed, watering plants, bringing in mail and packages, and keeping you updated with regular messages and photos. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or simply wants a calm companion nearby, I tailor my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have a flexible schedule, communicate promptly, and pride myself on being dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of every home I stay in. My goal is for you to return home to happy pets and a home that's exactly as you left it. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Please note that my sweet lemon beagle, Harper, occasionally accompanies for overnight stays with other friendly pets. She is 3 years old, house trained, crate trained and extremely friendly with other pets, children and other people. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I have a 25-pound beagle named Harper, so my days naturally revolve around regular walks, playtime, feeding, enrichment, and making sure she gets plenty of attention and exercise. I'm attentive to routines and understand how important consistency is for helping pets feel comfortable and secure. Beyond caring for my own dog, I have experience house sitting and caring for pets in their own homes, following each owner's instructions closely to maintain their normal schedule. Whether that's walks, meals, medications, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I enjoy making sure pets are happy, relaxed, and well cared for while their families are away. Because I have a flexible schedule, I'm able to provide attentive care throughout the day and keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for added peace of mind. Every pet has a different routine, so I start by learning their schedule, preferences, and any special instructions before the stay. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and exercise routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and reduce stress while their owners are away. In your home, I treat both your pets and your property with the utmost respect. I keep the home clean and secure, bring in mail and packages if requested, water plants, and make sure everything is well cared for until you return. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets securely leashed unless instructed otherwise in a safe enclosed area, monitor them for any changes in behavior or health, and follow all household rules and emergency instructions. My goal is for you to come home to happy pets and a home that's exactly as you left it.
“Justin house sat and watched our two dogs ( a Bernese and a Frenchie) for two weeks and was fantastic! This was the most time our dogs have been without us and it was important for us to have someone reliable watching them. Justin spent ample time with our dogs, took them on walks and was with them consistently without any extended gaps. Justin was very conscientious in our home and cleaned completely at the end of the stay (including the refrigerator!). I highly recommend Justin for pet sitting!”
“Five stars! Machele took excellent care of Benny, our Lab, and Mocha, our 14-year-old Puggle. Machele was extremely thorough, asked lots of detailed questions ahead of time, and carefully planned for anything unexpected that might come up while we were away. Machele communicated clearly throughout the stay and sent us lots of photos, so we always knew the dogs were happy and doing well. We felt completely comfortable leaving Benny and Mocha in Machele’s care and would absolutely hire her again!”
“I always try to rebook Caitlyn anytime I have to travel and leave my pup behind. Caitlyn always sends regular updates, pics and videos so I never worry. 10/10 would recommend”
“Katia did a wonderful job! Our pets seem to have barely missed us under her care and as we were gone for such an extended time it’s a relief to know they were being cared for. She kept us updated on one of our pets with a health condition and the enclosure for our rabbits and cats litter box were in great condition when we got back (a huge relief after 12+ hours of traveling!). Would 100% recommend :)”
“Adrian is honestly the best sitter I could hope for after multiple stays with our crew! The kitties and Waffle are always so well cared for (even when they get into mischief sometimes) and I can tell that Adrian cares for them almost as much as we do. Adrian is super communicative, kind and always sends lots of great pics - which comes in super handy when I’m away and missing the pets! Highly highly recommend to anyone and everyone!”
“Melissa gave our very people-oriented kitties loving care and also took excellent care of our house. She provided numerous updates and we appreciated the communication. Melissa is a lovely person and we highly recommend her.”
“As always, our pups loved having Brandon and Ashley stay with them during our trip - I think they were a little disappointed to see us return! We look forward to having them watch our pups again in the near future!!”
About: I've cared for senior cats for friends, as well as my roommates' cats. I love cats of all ages and personalities, and I'm happy to give them the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I only work some weekends, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's playtime or keeping them company at home, I'll make sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, walks, playtime, and any special care your pet needs. I'll treat your home with respect, keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Riah was amazing with our nervous dog, Rue. Rue often takes a little time to warm up to new people, and she seemed to feel comfortable with Riah right away--it's clear she has great experience with dogs that need a little extra time and attention. She stayed at our house for a full week and provided excellent care. We will definitely reach out to her again for future stays. She was responsive, left our house in perfect condition, and provided daily updates on Rue with pictures. We could not have asked for a better sitter experience. We would recommend her services!”
“Anna is amazing!! We booked her a few times now and will keep rebooking, as long as she’s available. From the moment of our meet & greet, I could tell she had the confidence & ability to care for our 2 energetic pups (Aussie & Golden) and meet their needs. Whether it was fetch sessions in the backyard or walks around the neighborhood. She sent updates and photos often and highlighted their personalities, so we were very at ease while out of town. She stayed at our home while we were out of town on two separate occasions and when we returned the house was very well cared for, along with our dogs. Our pups were definitely met with their needs. Thanks Anna.”
“Samantha as always did a great job taking care of our little Jett. We also had some last minute changes in our travel plans, and Samantha is really great about communicating quickly to work things out. Would definitely recommend!”

Angel was a pet whisperer for sure and our cat & dog loved him (normally our cat likes no one 😁). He's caring, sweet and attentive. Our dog has medication needs and he followed instructions perfectly. He kept us up up-to-date with notes & pictures which made us more comfortable on our vacation. He played with them and talked to them like they were his family. Our house was also well taken care of. I would highly recommend Angel to care for or walk your furry friends.
Kamilla goes above and beyond to care for her pets and the people leaving them behind. I always feel so grateful that Kamilla is the one watching my cats. Her care is excellent and her daily communication and pictures are so reassuring. Knowing she is with my kitties makes travelling much more relaxing.
Adrian was so great! Our dog is shy, anxious, and can be reactive, but Adrian provided so much support we felt Beau was in good hands the whole time we were away. They even checked in to see what would help Beau relax after getting spooked by a rainstorm in the middle of the night. We appreciated the frequent updates and would recommend Adrian to anyone. Adrian was also a great house guest and left the place in perfect shape.
Jason took fantastic care of our dog Ruby for 7 days! He was very communicative which we appreciated so we always knew Ruby was in excellent care. He also left our house as clean as he found it which made it very easy for us to come back from vacation! 10/10 highly recommend!
Judy did fabulously with our very different dogs. Marge who tends to be a bit more wary with strangers immediately felt comfortable with Judy. Smyth who is a lover to all and especially those who give him cookies adored her as well. This was longest we were away and both dogs while excited to see us seemed like they were well adjusted to the routine with Judy. Overall a wonderful experience with lots of pictures and videos of our dogs throughout our vacation.
Will was an absolutely fantastic sitter! He was reliable, an excellent communicator, and took wonderful care of both our pets and our home during his four-night stay. He took our dog on two walks every day and made daily trips to the dog park so she could run after the ball and play with other dogs. He also made sure our cat was eating well, which can sometimes be challenging, and kept her litter box clean. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and cat, and our house was left in perfect condition. We are so happy with Will’s care and would absolutely have him stay with our pets again. Highly recommend!
Noah is an incredible pet sitter, and I feel extremely lucky to have someone I trust with all three of my dogs. They each have very different personalities and needs, and caring for three dogs is no small task, but Noah handles them all with so much patience and care. Casper in particular can be a difficult dog to win over, and I’ve been really happy to see how much more comfortable and trusting he becomes with Noah every time. That means a lot to me because I know Casper doesn’t give that trust to just anyone. Noah is reliable, communicative, attentive, and genuinely cares about my dogs. I rely on him a lot, and being able to leave town knowing that all three of them are in good hands gives me so much peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets.
Wow! Sofia is absolutely the best! She took care of our two big dogs and our cat for a full two weeks, and we could not have been more impressed with her communication or the loving care she gave our animals and our home. Throughout her stay, Sofia sent us daily photo updates, which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. We came home to happy, well-cared-for animals, a spotless house, and the sweetest handwritten note. We truly cannot recommend Sofia highly enough and hope to have her back again!
Aurelia took a great care of our two cats when we were out of country. The kitties enjoyed her company and looked relaxed when we returned. Normally they are very stressed when we are gone so thank you Aurelia! It was a great relief to know that they are in good hands. Also, Aurelia left our place spotless. We can highly recommend her pet care services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Meridian on Rover is $65.61 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,290 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
