“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have had a better experience thanks to Izzy! She was absolutely amazing, so caring, attentive, and clearly great with dogs. She kept us at ease by sending frequent photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. We felt completely confident knowing our dog was in such great hands. We highly recommend Izzy and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Gregory did a great job watching our two dogs. He was dependable, easy to work with, and has a calm energy that our dogs seemed to respond to really well. We felt confident leaving them in his care and would happily have him watch them again in the future.”
“We are beyond happy to have had Zahira care for our pup while we were away. She was extremely professional, compassionate and caring through the entire time. Would happily use Zahira again!”
“SirJahad was a fantastic housesitter for my 5 month old puppy and cat. He sent plenty of pictures and detailed messages over the three days we were away. He followed our instructions and took our rambunctious dog on several walks daily.”
About: I’ve had a love for dogs since I was little, one of my first books that I read as a child was about dogs, and have cared for 4 dogs in the last 11 years. I had a Jack Russell terrier, Yorkshire terrier & toy poodle, who have passed in their old age. I currently have an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix who is 2. My dogs, as well as other dogs, are well behaved around me and love being in my presence. I am available any day of the week, so availability is never an issue. I love caring for dogs & playing with dogs as it brings me and the dogs happiness. You will love that I care for the dogs’ health, safety, and happiness.

She was responsive with messages and kept us updated throughout our trip with adorable pictures. Julia is a great pet/house sitter!”

About: Hi!! I am an animal lover with hands on experience caring for my own dog and cat. I truly enjoy spending time with pets, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I’m responsible, caring, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your pets are safe, happy and well cared for when you are away. I have a very flexible schedule. I am available weekdays and weekends. If you need to extend the days, it would not be an inconvenience. I am available for house sitting only and I am not able to board pets in my own home. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and treat them with the same love and attention I give my own
“Morgan was phenomenal! Our dogs bonded with her right away. She learned their individual characters and personalities! We got lots of funny pictures. She took them out back and played with them! She was great in the house and she has the sweetest personality! Ww can’t wait to have an excuse to use her again. I think the dogs were bummed after she left Lol!”
“5 stars! Mike is AWESOME! He took excellent care of our two Rottweilers and our home while we enjoyed our honeymoon. Mike updated us via text and pictures regularly. We’d definitely book him again!”
“Amazing! Aside from the adorable videos that Natalie shared during her two night stay with my dog Nola, she absolutely left the house beautiful!! Such a relief after a long trip. And Nola was so happy and totally herself when I got home, so she clearly enjoyed being able to stay in her normal environment and hang out with someone who gave her all of the attention that she craves! I will ABSOLUTELY be using Natalie for my future overnight and dog walk needs!!”
About: I have own and bred dogs. I love to play, talk and have fun with them. I am an on and off dog walker and sitter. I look forward to meeting your best friend. I take care if them as if they were my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available to walk and be around animals 24x7. No barriers at this time to keep pets. I can care for animals in my home, walk them, I can care for crated animals as well. I walk dogs every 3 hours depending on the size of their bladder.
“My husband and I would 100% trust our dog with David. We have an anxious pup and was worried about strangers meeting him but from the first meet, our dog was very comfortable with David. He gave punctual updates while we were gone and the visit went smoothly. When my husband and I came back home, we found a very nice handwritten card, chocolates, and even a dog toy from David! A very nice gesture and the kind of generous person we would invite back to our home to care for our pup. Thanks for your help David!!”
“We couldn't have left our pups in better hands! Brandi took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and provided photo/video updates throughout our trip. It was comforting to see the care and attention she gave to them while we were away and we would definitely book with her again in the future.”

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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Mickleton is $77 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $70 and $90 per night.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
