“This was the first time that I left my cats with a non family member. Kathleen did a great job asking thoughtful questions, approaching the cats gently and communicating with me while I was gone. Everything was tidy upon my return and the cats were well cared for.”
“Judy is so loving and gentle with Oaks and an easy house guest to boot. Oaks has a relatively complex care routine and Judy was very conscientious about every detail.”
“This was our second time booking Melissa to housesit for our reactive dog, Toji. She followed our instructions, kept us updated, and clearly cares. We’ll continue to have her watch Toji when we go away.”
“This is our second time having Justin stay at our home for ten days and take care of our cat. We couldn’t be more pleased with his professionalism, maturity and responsiveness. Having peace of mind when we go on vacation is such a gift and we are so happy we found Justin who provides that.”
“Jolene was a dream come true. She went above and beyond. She took care of our little one as if it were her own dog. She kept us updated with lots of pictures. She was responsible and meticulous about every detail. We're already signed up to use her again! Highly, highly recommend.”
“Aryana is wonderful and I will 100% be hiring her again for dog sitting! She sent great updates and my dog Ash looked SO happy and comfortable with her in photos. She went above and beyond to give my dog enriching days that included all his favorite things. Aryana was comfortable staying with Ash who has some special needs and sensitivity to being handled. She is clearly very intuitive with dogs and built trust immediately with him. She sent me a picture of him lying on his back on the couch in a state of total bliss. I knew he was in good hands!”
“We always choose Davied first! He is now part of our family. We trust him completely and feel iconplerely secure when leaving our home and our beloved dog in his care. What more do you want? So grateful!”
“Uliana took excellent care of my pets! I have two dogs and two cats, and she followed all instructions while making sure they were happy and comfortable. She was very responsive to messages, left my home clean, and I came back to relaxed, well-cared-for animals. I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Beth provided for my dogs while I was away! From the moment we met, I felt at ease knowing my pup was in kind and capable hands. She sent daily updates with photos, kept my dog’s routine consistent, and even gave extra snuggles,. When I returned, my dog was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for.”
“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.”
“We’ve had Adrian housesit for our 2 cats and new puppy twice over the past few months and both times Adrian was communicative throughout the stay, let us know about any potential issues proactively (pet not eating much, etc.), and just overall made us feel super safe leaving our pets—who don’t quite get along with each other yet—in someone else’s hands. We were especially grateful to Adrian for watching our puppy and keeping up with her house training and training in general, and we’ll definitely be repeat customers for as long as possible.”
“Emily was great with our Rosie. Rosie can be a little shy at first, but she settled in quickly and it was clear Emily knows how to care for a dog. We got great updates and communication throughout the day. We would recommend Emily, and would definitely use her services again.”
“Caitlyn is so great with our quirky husky! She takes great care of him when we go out of town and provides lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend her! We love to book her every time we leave knowing our pup is in great hands!”
“Grace is great! She took care of our 30 lb labradoodle while we were out of town for 4 nights and provided plenty of updates with photos. The house was exactly as we left it when we returned and, most importantly, our dog was happy and well cared for.”
“Anna was great with Wednesday! We are so thankful. Took great care of her as a last second request. Sent lots of photos. We felt so at ease. We will definitely request her services again. Thank you!”
“Caleb did such an amazing job with our two cats, and high energy golden retriever. He spent quality time with all the animals, sent us updates and communicated great with us every day of our five day trip. We came home to a spotless house and happy animals!”
“Alex tools such great care of our pup & our home. I swear it’s in better condition than we left it! We already have Alex booked again for our next trip. Can’t recommend enough!”

I cannot recommend Jake enough. We have a difficult sitting situation due to medical conditions and temperaments. He has sat for us multiple times now and has always provided premium care, and has a talent for rolling with the punches. Jake has been in a situation where I was not reachable for an entire day, and made incredibly good decisions for our fur babies during that period- based on everything he already knew about them. This was possible because he got to know our animals well enough to read and respond to their communications. He will take the time to get to know your pets and your situation, and will provide detail-oriented, customized care for your loved ones. Choose Jake!
Berel did a great job caring for all THREE of our dogs including our senior dog and our puppy concurrently. He gave us consistent updates and was able to juggle multiple needs of different dogs like meds. We look forward to having the dogs spend time with him again!
Michelle was hands down one of the best sitters we’ve had! We were incredibly blessed that she was available for a month long at-home sit after another sitter cancelled on us last minute. Michelle was very thorough in terms of understanding our pet care requirements and had clear concise communication that we appreciated. This was very important for us given our diabetic kitty Mijo requires insulin injections and blood glucose testing. Michelle was able to pick this up in no time and smoothly administered all Mijo’s medical needs for a month. She sent us super thoughtful updates with the cutest kitty pics and kept our home spotless. Our shyest kitty Juniper took to Michelle right away, which is very rare. She was able to cater to the individual different needs of our 3 cats very well. We could tell how happy and well-cared they were upon our return and we were able to enjoy a wonderful trip knowing our kitties were in Michelle’s capable hands! Would highly recommend her to anyone lucky enough to have her 🫶🏽
Where to begin ….. Stacey was excellent and we will definitely use her again! She cared for our dog Luna AND home for a week! Communication was excellent and frequent - Luna always had a smile on her face! Stacey is very organized and detailed, did everything we asked of her - the house was immaculate when we returned! It was wonderful knowing that our dog and home were in such good hands. Thank you Stacey
Bennett was the ideal pet sitter for my rambunctious puppy. He was not only onto but early and accommodating to unplanned schedule changes. His experience with puppies was evidence in his patience with potty accidents (he cleaned) and nipping. I got photo and text updates as needed. Would definitely recommend him
Quinnie took great care of my dog while I was gone on a trip. She was a great listener to all my worries, did a meet and greet beforehand, and sent me so many updates on Sora throughout the morning and nights she watched her. My home was left exactly how I left it too, so I appreciated her taking good care of my home while she stayed to take care of Sora. My dog is dog-reactive and I really appreciated her being understanding and helpfulness with handling her reactivity.
It was wonderful having Caitlin take care of our cat and our home! Caitlin is very communicative and sends the best picture updates. I really appreciate the kindness, respect, and care Caitlin showed towards our pet and our home, even going above and beyond to wash the linens and towels before our return. It felt great knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Meridian on Rover is $66.6 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 8,165 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.

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.
