About: I have been a trusted pet sitter by family members, neighbors, friends, and coworkers for over ten years. I have experience with all kinds of critters, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish. I recently lost my senior rescue cat to cancer, so I am experienced in senior care and medication administration as well. My goal as a pet-sitter and dog-walker is to make your pet as happy as can be until their favorite people come home! I work remotely on Tuesdays and Fridays and would be able to provide in home visits or dog walks anytime throughout the day. My availability is more flexible on weekends. I am very adaptable and experienced with animals, so I am willing to learn and follow any instructions given to best care for your pet.
“We left our precious Pomeranian with Leah for eight days, and felt confident that our pup was in good hands. We were not wrong. Leah was conscientious and reliable, getting to know our pup more each day, and they felt totally comfortable with each other after a short time. Leah was responsible and followed all of our directions to a T. She stayed in our home and took fantastic care of the house as well as the dog. We will continue to use her as our dog sitter and highly recommend her services.”
“I was in CA for four days and Gianna stayed in my home. She sent me lots of photo updates every day and kept them safe and my home well kept too! Definitely recommend and will rebook again.”
“Basma was absolutely amazing. She was so attentive to my 3 husky girls during her 3 day stay. She took them on several walks a day. They got plenty of play and cuddle time as well. I received countless updates and pictures. She treated them so well they won't want me to come back home. I cant not express enough how grateful I was for her compassion and love of my furbabies. I will definitely be booking her again. I can not recommend her enough nor give her enough praise.”
“Megan did an amazing job! Took notes and was flexible to every need and preference, pictures and updates regularly, and my minions clearly had a lot of fun! Highly recommend and will be requesting again for my future dog sitting! Thanks Megan!!!”
“Kstherine was charming, quick to catch on to what I needed, and took excellent care of my Lola. In addition, she took on more than I could’ve ever asked she washed dishes. She stripped the bed. She sent me tons of photos and did not hesitate to ask questions. I would book her again in a heartbeat thank you Katherine! I”
“Karin was awesome! We were visiting from out of town. Karin watched Meadow and Truffle overnight. We appreciate her watching the pups and how good she was with them! She was easy to communicate with and the dogs had a great time!!”
“Brooks was excellent at taking care of our dog Cooper while we were away. They were very attentive and gave regular check ins on how Cooper was doing and what he was up to. The also administered medication as requested and followed all care instructions. I would definitely use them again in the future for my pet sitting needs!”
“We decided to go with in-home care for our dog instead of boarding while we were traveling. I was a little apprehensive at first, but Tyler did a great job. He took care of our dog, sent us daily updates, and everything was in perfect order when we returned after a week.”
About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!
“Tucker stayed with jedi all weekend, he took him on walks, kept me updated (with pictures) and gave him the attention he deserves. Jedi liked his company and I will happily rebook if he is available for my next trip.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Meridian Hills
Heather was a wonderful dog sitter! She was gracious and attentive in our meet and greet, asking good questions. She stayed in touch with us and reassured us that our senior dog was doing well. The house was spotless and sheets changed when we got home. She left a good-bye card for us and a note with last minute messages in it. We appreciated all her efforts on behalf of our dog and us.
Sofia was so fantastic in communicating before and during Michigan’s sitting. Felt totally comfortable leaving Michigan with her and giving her total access to my house while away. She even took pictures to check in during the sitting. I highly recommend Sofia to other pet parents. 10/10
Caelyn did a fabulous job with Sophie (bishon). I booked in-home overnights. She sent lots of pics per request and supplied updates at regular cadences. I trusted her and it allowed me to enjoy my time away! Would definitely recommend Caelyn for your pup 🐶-care!!
Alexandra was fantastic! We have booked with her twice to stay with our 10 year old dog. It was clear our dog was well loved while we were gone! She has high anxiety particularly with storms and fireworks, and Alexandra paid particular attention to this for us while we were gone over the 4th of July. She was a great communicator and very respectful. Left our home in great condition and will absolutely book with her again!
Brittany has become a go-to house sitter for me. My dog loves her. Her schedule aligns really well with my remote working schedule so the pal is never alone for long periods. I can leave the house with complete peace of mind knowing she’s going to be here for both short and longer stays. Thank you Brittany!!!
Allison is FANTASTIC! She took excellent care of the “kids” and our home while we were out of the country for a week. They had so much fun with her I think they were sad we came home. We have a high anxiety pup and Allison was super patient with her and ensured her meds stayed on track and that she got all the extra attention she needed. Allison sent tons of great photos and videos to keep us up to date each day!
I can not provide enough positive feedback about Justin. He is professional, personable, responsible, proactive and extremely trustworthy. I have never left my chihuahuas, with anyone except a close family member, until Justin. I hope that Justin, will watch my fragile babies again! HE is amazing!
Holli & Susan are absolutely incredible!! We had them watch our three dogs (2 chihuahuas & 1 husky shepherd mix) for the first time for 4 nights and 5 days and they were so kind. They send us photos every day and communication was excellent the house was spotless when we came back too. I would highly recommend them!! They are the best!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received. Eileen was incredibly attentive and patient and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Not only were my dogs well cared for, but my home was too. Everything was kept tidy, secure, and exactly as I left it. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets and your home with real care, Eileen is the person you want. Truly outstanding service and someone I’ll absolutely book again.
Tyler took great care of our dog, cat, and house while we were away. He responded quickly to messages and gave updates about how they were doing with pictures. Our dog is pretty anxious, so it really put my mind at ease to see pictures of him playing, on a walk, or cuddling on the couch. It’s clear the pets felt comfortable with him. He followed our instructions/routines with no problem, and fed my fish which was much appreciated! He left the house in great condition - you’d never know anyone had been here. We plan on rebooking with Tyler in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Meridian Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Meridian Hills on Rover is $29.96 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 1,554 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Meridian Hills. 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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.
