“Absolutely was a life saver for me this past week. Incredible communication, went out of her way to be flexible for me, sent me updates as I needed them, and kept me up to date on every detail of her weekend with Bella. I would book her 100x over and have absolutely zero concerns she would be perfect for anybody in any situation! Cannot thank her enough!!!!”
“Brady did a wonderful job with my puppy Draco! He even let my mom’s Yorkie stay with him and watched her too! He was respectful of my home and was very communicative. Even got a couple pictures while I was gone! Thank you Brady! We will be using your services again!”
“Christopher was a great communicator. He sent us photos and updates. I was nervous Bailey would think we are second fiddle when we got back. Bailey is exhausted after his weekend of fun with Christopher.”
“I can’t recommend Gabriela enough! She helped me out on very short notice, and I’m so grateful she was available. My dog can be a handful—he’s big (around 100 pounds) and very affectionate—but she handled him with so much patience and confidence. It’s clear she really understands dogs, especially larger breeds, and knows how to manage their energy while still giving them the love and attention they need. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely great with dogs, Gabriela is the one!”
“Zoe was incredible. Our house was clean when we came back home, and she handled all the animal care flawlessly. She checked in multiple times a day and went above and beyond making all our critters comfortable, even amidst a minor medical issue with our dog. We’ll be booking Zoe for all our trips in the future.”
“Overall, Kellsey did great with caring for my dogs! My girls can “pout” a bit while I am away and she made sure that she messaged me to ensure that they were ok and that it was normal. She was able to meet my girls before my trip so that I knew they got along well!”
“Will was great with our dogs! He great with up front communication, sent us pictures every day when we were gone and took such good care of them. We will use Will again for sure!”
“Allison was the best pet/house sitter I have ever worked with! My very elderly French Bulldog, Birdy, had a wonderful time spending a long weekend with her, and I came home to a happy, relaxed pup (which is all I could possibly ask for!) Allison kept me constantly updated with messages, photos, and videos, took great care of my home and of Birdy, and was extremely professional, friendly, and easy to work with!”
“10/10 recommend Karin! She took wonderful care of my car and dog while I was out of town for two weeks. It made me nervous to leave them for so long, but Karin quickly showed how much love and affection they’d get while she was there!”
“Ashely was great! She was available last minute to watch our three pups over the holiday weekend, and saved us from having to take our dogs to another state with us. Instead they got to relax in our home and Ashely sent pictures every time she came by to play with them and feed them. It was definitely a relief to know they could relax in their favorite spots even while we were away, since they tend to get stressed when we travel. Thanks Ashley for keeping our babies happy while we were away!”
“My first time using Rover, and I’ll definitely be using it again thanks to Christina. Being 600 miles away from my pet and leaving her with a complete stranger had my mind worried but quickly eased with how well Christina was taking care of my Bella”
“We’ve used Rover for years and never had such a positive experience as we did with Megan. She not only took diligent notes about all of my pups little quirks and preferences, but she really went the extra mile every opportunity she had. Our dogs loved her, too 😃. I will absolutely be using her in the future and recommending Megan to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”
About: Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m a reliable, active pet lover who knows pets are family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I love being outdoors, so I’m always happy to keep energetic dogs active, and I’m just as comfortable following the routine of more laid-back pets. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I’m an 8-4p worker. If you live close enough, I can care for your pet on lunch breaks. I can also care for your pet before and after work. I will treat your home like my own. I am dependable and loyal. I have two people who regularly depend on me to care for their animals.
“Katie was absolutely awesome. Great communication. Tons of updates. Very responsible and you can tell how much she loves and cares for your pet. Highly recommended. Can't recommend her enough.”
“Jasmyne was amazing! Our dog can be pretty anxious but did great with Jasmyne — and she gave us lots of updates and photos throughout the time we were gone; which helped put us at ease too. The house was in tip-top shape when we returned, and our dog was happy and content. We will definitely be calling on Jasmyne again!”
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet lover with years of experience. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I’m currently taking a one-hour class Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and work part-time Tuesday–Thursday from 3–5 PM. I have flexibility outside these times! I’ll care for your pets in their home by following their normal routine and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, and updates while you’re away, and of course send pictures!
“Anna did a great job with our 2 big dogs! She had a couple of sticky situations (one dog getting sick and the bedroom door knob falling off) and she handled them like a pro. Will absolutely rebook with her”
“Courtney was great with the dogs and our anxious boy took to her well. She only stayed one night but made our return home very pleasant because she also did some unexpected cleaning-my favorite thing to come home to after a trip. She was very responsive. Would definitely recommend and will be using her again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Meridian Hills is $45

I had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter McKenna! She stayed at our house for 10 days and took excellent care of my dog, Nova. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands while I was away. McKenna was responsible, caring, and respectful of my home. When I returned, the house was clean and everything was in great shape, with absolutely no issues. I would definitely recommend McKenna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter. I’ll happily have her take care of Nova again! 🐾❤️
Lauren is the best! She was extremely responsive from day 1, sent a ton of updates and photos during her stay, and took such good care of our 3 dogs. She even was willing to do a meet and greet beforehand which was so appreciated and helped relieve any anxiety before our trip. I highly recommend!
We booked Ashley last minute to watch our dogs over the holiday weekend. She was very accommodating with scheduling a meet-and-greet prior to her stay with the dogs. She did a great job at sending updating with pictures throughout her stay. The dogs seemed happy and well taken care of with Ashley.
Heather was awesome with our lab, Matilda. We felt totally comfortable with her and this made our overnight more enjoyable. Heather was patient with Matilda and went the extra mile when Tilds was being stubborn. We will definitely book Heather again and recommend her highly.
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
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!!!
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!

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 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 1,485 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.

- 94% 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.
