“Sahil was absolutely amazing! He was great to work with, very communicative, and quickly established a great bond with our pup. He stayed in our home and was very respectful and cared for it and our pup very well!”
About: I was certified as a vet assistant at 17. Currently in Vet tech school & expected to graduate 2027. I have 2 friendly dogs of my own :) I am available on the weekends, I keep pets on a consistent schedule to ensure all of their needs are met including feeding, enrichment, & exercise. I treat every animal as if they’re my own. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable & happy. I follow the owner’s instructions and also giving them attention and care while they’re in my care.
“Riley was fantastic to work with! She was responsive, took great care of our two big dogs, and left our house better than she found it! When our flights got delayed she was so helpful and flexible. Riley truly went above and beyond at every opportunity and we will definitely rebooking with her in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Esther! I’m a college student who has been on Rover for over two years. Most of my experience is with younger dogs but I love taking care of seniors too. I currently don’t have any pups so I pet-sit to stay active and continue being around animals. I am a student with a lot of mid day and weekend availability. I’m very flexible, especially on holidays and during school breaks. I have a lot of experience house sitting as well and I love overnight visits. When leaving your pets with me, they’ll be treated as my own. I believe in open and transparent communication so I’ll provide lots of updates. I have skills in leash training, crate training, and grooming. I would love to keep your pet company! For safety on house sitting appointments, I plan on meeting clients and their pups before providing services to make sure we’re a good fit.
“Anna was great! She was very kind and responsive. I really appreciated that she regularly shared photos of our Max while we were out of town. We will be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was great! She sent pictures and updates during every visit, cleaned up their accidents, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pups were well cared for, and happy and healthy when I got back home. Thank you!”
“Ella helped us out in a pinch and was extremely responsive for the duration of her stay! She was very friendly and was flexible when unexpected surprises popped up (like our doorknob falling off our main entry door 🫠). Would definitely recommend her for dog sitting needs!”
“Megan was a wonderful dog sitter who took excellent care of our 3 pups while we were traveling. Megan was very reliable and trustworthy and she communicated with me throughout the day, sending pictures and text updates. Highly recommend Megan if you’re looking for someone who will love your pups just as much as you do.”
“Elizabeth did a great job with my cats! I could tell from meeting her and in talking to her during the sit that she really cared about my two boys. She had great attention to detail and has a history of working with animals. I’m glad I requested her!”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over a decade. I am comfortable with all ages of animals and can administer medication, as needed. Comfortable walking a variety of sizes and ages with a collar or harness. Most of my dogsitting experience has been with senior dogs so I am happy to accommodate their special needs. I work full time but have a remote position, allowing for dog and cat sitting at guest’s house - and I’ll be home all day! I am also available for walks and drop ins. I will follow all instructions, as presented. Whatever your pet’s personal quirks may be, I’m ready to meet their needs. I am happy to maintain their normal routine.
About: I grew up on a farm most of my life. So Ive helped raise all kinds of dogs big and small. I always loved taking them for walks amd playing fetch with them! I understand how important a pet is and hope i get to spend some time with yours I currently work full time mon - friday from 830 am to 5 pm but i have no problem popping and taking care of your pet during my lunch break or when i get off. On weekends im free anytime. I do my best to follow all your pets normal routine and give it all the love it deserves. I have no problem traveling to your house or adjusting mine to do so. If your pet needs to be fed at certain times or given medicine at certain times you can rest assured it is done. I also love to provide physical activity for the pet lime going for a walk or taking them to a park to play fetch and the like.
“Jen is the very best with my dogs. She stayed at my home with multiple pups for over a week. They remained happy, healthy with no issues for the entire visit. She is a great communicator in person as well as keeping me updated while I was away.”
“Brian was great! He communicated well, took great care of both our dog and cat (and the dog involved giving pills regularly!) - it was great to be able to away for a weekend and trust that everything was in good hands at home!”
About: I’ve had a dog and a cat of my own for 11 years. I know how to take care and love all types of pets! I’m currently working part time. Therefore I am able to fit in pet sitting any day of the week on my schedule, I have plenty free time! I will take your pets on walks, play with them so they can get their needed enrichment, feed them, and take them out to go potty!
“I can’t thank Jordan enough for stepping in at the last minute to care for my dog, Myla. I had accidentally scheduled the wrong dates with another sitter, but Jordan was quick to respond and saved the day. Her communication was excellent, and she made me feel completely at ease leaving Myla in her care. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and is highly dependable. Myla seemed happy and well taken care of when I got home from my trip. She also had my apartment very clean once I made it home. I highly recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!””
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, and livestock. Before joining Rover, I personally cared for over 80 different pets, gaining experience with many personalities, routines, and care needs. As a certified veterinary assistant with over 400 hours of clinical experience, I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health, and caring for senior or special-needs animals. I’ve worked with young animals, seniors, anxious pets, and high-energy pets, and I always tailor my care to each animal. What sets me apart is my combination of real veterinary knowledge and proven, multi-species pet-sitting experience. I treat every animal as if they were my own and aim to give pet owners complete peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine. As a freshman at the University of Kentucky studying Animal Science, I’m organized with my time and have my own transportation, allowing me to provide reliable and flexible care. I’m available for before-class visits, midday check-ins, and afternoon, evening, and bedtime care. I’m used to balancing school with animal care and make sure every pet receives attentive, dependable care at each visit. Keeping pets on their normal routine is a priority for me, and I always plan around feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and quality time so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I care for pets by focusing on their comfort, routine, and individual needs, whether they are in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to learn each animal’s preferences, energy level, and daily schedule so they feel safe and settled. In a client’s home, I maintain their normal routine, provide feeding, exercise, enrichment, and companionship, and keep the space clean and respected. I make sure pets get plenty of attention and consistency, especially those who may be shy, anxious, or need extra reassurance. When pets are in my home, I provide a calm, supervised environment with structured routines, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one care. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort so pets feel relaxed and cared for, just like they would at home.
About: I’ve grown up with lots of pets in Louisville and love caring for others pets while I’m at college in Lexington 🐶🐱 I’m happy to help with overnight stays, walks, or quick drop-ins, and I always treat pets like they’re my own 💕🐾 I am a sophomore at the University of Kentucky. I would be able to fit pet care into my very flexible class schedule, as most of my classes are online! I would not be able to have pets in my own home.. but I would be very respectful of other people’s homes when visiting to help their pets! Make sure I follow their directions as well as caring for their pets!
“She done a great job! Great communication and even better she took care of my babies while one of them was sick. Definitely recommend and will be in contact if needed again.”
“Mackenna was amazing with my Australian Shepherd while I was on vacation. From the moment they met, he was totally at ease with her, which isn’t always the case with him. She sent me regular updates, which I really appreciated, and communication was super easy the whole time. Knowing he was in such good hands made it so much easier to actually relax and enjoy my trip. You can tell she genuinely cares, and that made all the difference. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust!”

Taylor is an exceptional sitter for my dog Murphy and she takes great care of our house while we are away. She is a very experienced, reliable and responsible sitter so I never have to worry about Murphy anytime she is with him. At the end of her stay, she leaves the house clean and tidy. Highly recommend her.
Angelee took wonderful care of our fur babes-we were regularly updated on how they were doing and got plenty of pics. This was our first time leaving them with someone other than a family member. Such a nerve wrecking experience in itself, but her care assured they were in good hands.
Ella helped us out in a pinch and was extremely responsive for the duration of her stay! She was very friendly and was flexible when unexpected surprises popped up (like our doorknob falling off our main entry door 🫠). Would definitely recommend her for dog sitting needs!
Bailey did a wonderful job with our fur family! It was our first time away from our very anxious German Shepherd and she was able to handle him like a pro. She kept us informed the entire time with texts and photos. It was good to see that cats come out and visit with her, as well. We will definitely try and book with Bailey again!
Came home and Teddy was happy and healthy. He's pretty needy and high strung and needs lots of attention and evidently he got everything he needed. Ususally when we leave he loses weight (and he's only 11 pounds to start with) but he looked good and was energetic, the house was perfect and we were able to enjoy our getaway. Thanks for everything Jordan.
Riley was fantastic to work with! She was responsive, took great care of our two big dogs, and left our house better than she found it! When our flights got delayed she was so helpful and flexible. Riley truly went above and beyond at every opportunity and we will definitely rebooking with her in the future.
Maggie was great with Chester. He was a bit stand-offish at first, but she kept at it and he warmed up to become the snuggle buddy we all knew he could be. Maggie took great care of our home and left the place in great condition. We will definitely use her again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Migrate is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $61 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 Migrate 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 Migrate 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 Migrate 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 Migrate. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
