“Gregory was wonderful with our two dogs! He was communicative and very loving with our babies (one is a 4mo old puppy!) he was very respectful in our home and we will definitely hire him again!”
“Morgan was a great pet sitter. My dog can be very shy and warmed up to her quickly. She was very attentive and helpful. My pets were well cared for by her, and I will definitely use her services again when I need an overnight sitter.”
“Quanece and Malik were great--once again! They are very good with our quirky and anxious animals. They communicate as needed and treat your home like they would their own. Very clean and respectful of the space. We will absolutely use them again and again. No complaints!”
“Chris was fantastic with our dogs! Our boy can be a typical husky but Chris was excellent with his high energy! They both seemed to have a wonderful time with her. She took them on nice long walks and lots of play time. We are so thankful to Chris for taking such great care of our babies so we could have a worry free weekend!”
“Katie was great - responsive, friendly, and the animals (a dog and 2 cats) were all well cared for while we were away and clearly very comfortable with Katie. We will use here again without hesitation.”
“Matt was wonderful with our dog, Odin! Odin loves long walks and Matt gave him the extra time he needs to walk and sniff…he sent pupdates and pictures. I will definitely be scheduling him again!”
“James did an amazing job taking care of my two very energetic dogs. He went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for as best as possible and kept me updated the entire week. I could not recommend James enough he made me time away stress free, thanks again James!”
About: i love dogs, i treat them with lots of love and care. i have been working with dogs for almost 9 years now. i am a professional dog groomer! i always had a dog growing up, i just haven't gotten my own yet :) i love to cuddle dogs and play with them. i understand that dogs get very nervous when their owner leaves so i like to be with them as much as possible. I also know that going potty can take forever and it's all about patience so I will wait as long as i need to until your little pup goes! When it's time for feeding, i will sit with them so they feel more comfortable. I also like to bring surprise treats and toys for them to keep them distracted. I will do everything to make them feel comfortable and loved. I love to build connections with not just the dogs but the owners as well. I want you to feel completely comfortable and safe! I also like to send pictures of your dog(s) to you :) I do not have a fenced in yard but we can take lots of walks and play at the park.
About: I have both an endless amount of patience for slower moving furry friends, as well as boundless energy for pets that need a little extra zoom to tire out! I have pet sat everything from rambunctious puppies and senior cats and dogs, to crested geckos and rabbits, so no animal is off the table! I have always loved and respected animals and I cannot wait to treat your pet like family! While I am on the job hunt, I have lots of free time throughout the day to walk your dog, hangout with your cat, and feed your pets! Depending on the service I'm booked for, I will arrive to your home ready for anything! I have shoes with great traction so I'm ready for an afternoon hike with your dogs, and I'm an avid reader so I'd be more than happy to hang on your couch with your cat for some snuggles! I have gone through some minor trainings at animal shelters for introducing myself to animals as well as training on what behaviors to recognize in dogs while out for walks to ensure a safe and fun time by all, so you can rest assured I will not put your pet into an uncomfortable situation while they are in my care. I am happy to follow all rules and guidelines you set for your home (I am usually a no-shoes inside kind of person so that rule will be followed regardless unless otherwise advised). And no need to worry about any additional "weird" requests on how your pet likes something done; I used to have a dog who wanted his dinner to be "cooked" on the stove or else he wouldn't touch it so nothing is too weird/silly for me to play along with. Overall I want your pet to have a pleasant and fulfilling time while spent with me and for you to have peace of mind while they are in my care.
About: I’ve had a dog since the day I was born, now have 2 dogs, 2 cats and work in a vet office! I love animals so much i can’t get enough of them. I’m in school to become a Certified veterinary technician I work full time 4 days a week, I’m free all day every weekend. I work a few 12 hour shifts, 1 10 hour and a 6 I have a fence in my back yard and more than enough love to give and more then enough toys as well to play with
“Gioia was a joy to work with. She was incredibly accommodating, gentle and patient with our behaviorally-needy dog and with our medically-needy dog! She left our home clean and organized and was very communicative and professional. It’s clear our pets have started to look forward to her visits.”
“It can be difficult to find someone who has experience with medications and leash reactivity but Natalie did a wonderful job taking on these tasks with my pets! They were immediately comfortable with Natalie and she did a great job of keeping up with their routine and sent updates and photos! Will book again!”
“Rob was truly exceptional, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly. He watched our two girls for 9 days, and from start to finish, he went above and beyond in every possible way. He took incredible care of both dogs, even going so far as to buy them extra-special treats to celebrate their birthdays while we were away which was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture that meant so much to us. Our dog Winnie has anxiety, especially during bad weather, and Rob was unbelievably patient, attentive, and gentle with her. Knowing she was in such caring, capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. Rob was kind, thoughtful, and communicative, providing great updates throughout our trip that reassured us our girls were happy, loved, and well cared for. On top of that, he treated our home with the utmost respect. He clearly took pride in being a responsible and considerate house guest. It’s rare to find someone who cares this deeply, not just about the dogs, but about the entire experience. We came home to two very happy pups and a perfectly cared for home. We would trust Rob again in a heartbeat and feel incredibly lucky to have found him!”

Felicia was superb while we were on vacation for a few days. I really appreciated Felicia’s initiative to meet the dogs before booking with us, and being attentive to their needs and our instructions while we were away. We got multiple updates, photos and videos and felt very comfortable the entire time. 10/10, Hope to book with you again soon if you’ll have us!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mickleton is $77 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $70 and $90 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,260 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mickleton. 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 Mickleton 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 Mickleton 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 Mickleton 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mickleton. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
