“At first meet, our dog Luna greeted Ferrin like an old friend. We were leaving our dog and cat with someone new for the longest period we’d been away from them and I was a bit nervous. But Ferrin showed up early for us and kept Luna relaxed with her calm and kind presence, as we loaded our suitcases in the car. She calmed my nerves too. Ferrin kept in touch, let us know honestly how Luna and Pete were doing throughout our 9-day trip. Pete struggled more with our leaving - but Ferrin helped him relax and adjust. Not only was it obvious that Luna and Pete were well cared for and enjoyed their time with her but our plants thrived too and our home was cleaner than we’d left it. We’ll absolutely invite Ferrin back anytime we need care for our furred friends. She’s responsive and pro-active, calm and quietly confident, and clearly has a natural and experienced connection with animals.”

About: My name is paul. I grew up with dogs my entire life. They've become family. Im a first responder so safety is always my number 1 priority. My house is 2 stories i have a huge fenced in yard yard. I live on an acre of land. I love bringing dogs to the dog park just up the road. I also have comfy dog beds inside if you're dog is more of a homebody Dogs have full access to every room and all furniture in my house. If their used to sleeping in your bedroom then they are welcome to sleep in mine as well. I have 2 english setters and we go for walks and excersise at least 4x a week and i can do the same with your dog. Also offer baths and nail care. I will treat your dog as i treat mine, like family. I also offer drop off and pick up service. Also, we put air tags on all dogs collars with the approval of their owners. We have never had a dog get out but as I stated before safety is paramount and we like being prepared. My schedule is pretty open. I also only work about 14 days a month and we are tot homebodies so someone is almost always home. I have a huge gated yard full of water bowls, tennis balls, rope toys and so much more. I also have comfy dog beds inside, extra kennels if needed and all of my furniture is open to pets. I have experience administering medicine, brushing animals teeth and am willing to do anything needed to care for your pets. I do have references as ive been doing this a while. If you have any questions at all please fell free to message me , day or night. Thanks for checking out my profile and Have a great day everyone.

About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.

About: I adopted my first dog, Ollie, when I was 18 years old. Shortly after I discovered he was suffering from kidney failure and epilepsy. This resulted in frequent vet visits and daily medications, and I'm comfortable administering medication to your pets. Now, I have three cats that I've had for almost five years, living their best lives. I love my pets and I'm looking forward to giving your best friends the same level of love and care. I work full-time. I'm available after 2pm on most days - I try to keep my availability on my profile accurate but due to the nature of my job I may have more or less availability than what is listed. Please don't hesitate to reach out and ask! Daily care routine starts in the morning with food, medication, and cleaning litter boxes. We play at their request and make sure they have access to all their toys.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience with all breeds, sizes and personalities. I currently have a Great Dane, Cane Corso, and Chihuahua, so I am very comfortable with large strong dogs, and all the personality that comes with them! I also own a cat and have been around cats a majority of my life. I truly enjoy being around animals and getting to know their individual character, quirks, and routines. Your pet will be treated like one of my own! I am currently available full time, so pet care can easily fit into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is very flexible and I am more than willing to work around difficult schedules. When caring for a pet in someone’s home I treat their space and their pet with the same care and respect I would treat my own. I will do my best to keep their pet in their usual routine to make them feel the most at home and comfortable. Communication is very important to me, and I am willing to adapt and put in lots of effort to provide the kind of care each client expects for their pet.

About: I have been a pet owner since the age of 10 and I currently work at an animal hospital. I love all types of animals and have worked with all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am open to discussing any scheduling needs and working my schedule around your needs. The animals are my top priority and will always come first. I treat other people's homes as if they are my own in terms of respect and cleanliness. I will care for your pets and watch over them as if they were my own children. I also have no problem looking after houseplants and staying on top of bringing in mail and package deliveries.

About: I believe you treat all animals like if they are your pet. I’m known to overly spoil my animals with love, funny voices, and care. I will keep you updated with pictures and videos and your pets are in exceptional care. I have an open schedule to cover their needs and care while I’m on duty and they become my family for the time they are with me. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over 15 years typically small and medium sized dogs. I do have experience with some larger breeds on basic essential needs and care. I went through a battle of IVDD with my French Bulldog who passed which took a role on how I view the time with animals in general. I have an open schedule and extremely accommodating to your needs. I can work around the necessary schedule. I work this full time and if I don’t have any sitting I also run deliveries. I have a safe and trusted environment. I have one dog who gets along with other dogs but he is hyper and wants to play and nap consistently. I have a cat who does her own thing so my house is relaxed. No little kids and just me and my partner which she works from home so there’s always someone at home.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I’m calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs making sure they get the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest throughout the day. Pets stay in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax or play, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s always someone home even if I need to step out briefly, my mom grandma or my boyfriend, who are both equally experienced and caring with pets, are always around to help. I usually introduce them during meet and greets so everyone feels comfortable and at ease

“A huge thank you to Deborah for staying with our two dogs while we were out of town. She took wonderful care of them, and gave me plenty of updates. She even dressed them up and took Halloween pictures with them! We appreciate it so much. It was so great to be able to travel and not worry about our fur babies at all.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for over 10 years, including my own bichon mix Bentley! I enjoy interacting with lots of different pets and have dog sat for multiple neighbors and friends. I am trustworthy, dependable, and pride myself on clear communication. I cannot wait to meet your pet! I work a corporate 9-5 job, and I have a lunch break where I can walk or visit pets (as well as before and after work)! I work from home on Fridays and have flexible weekends, so I am happy to prioritize the needs of your pet! I am very flexible and able to adjust my schedule and environment to cater to your needs. I enjoy walking but am also able to play in a fenced yard if need be!

About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of my dog as well as my family’s and friend’s pets since I was 5, and I love all kinds of animals. I have just recently gotten out of the military and I will be having a lot of free time soon so I figured it would be the best time to take care of pets since they require a lot of attention. I will make sure your pet is properly walked and fed and played with for proper exercise daily, as well as applying any medicine needed.

Jimmy was fantastic! Our dog is nervous when first meeting people and Jimmy was patient and friendly! He took great care of our pets and house and I’m so grateful he was available for our last minute request. He sent us pics and updates regularly. 10/10 would book again! Thank you, Jimmy!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mine Run

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Mine Run is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $49 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 563 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mine Run. 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 Mine Run 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 Mine Run 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 Mine Run 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 Mine Run. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
