“My Zoey loved having Karen stay with her while I was on a trip. I got lots of pictures and texts about how she was doing. Zoey is a special little rescue pup and I felt so comfortable knowing she had Karen to take care of her while I was away. Great communication and will definitely be in touch in the future when I need a sitter.”
“Jocelyn is an absolute gem! Our fur babies were so loved and well cared for, and we came home to a spotless house. She was incredibly communicative and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.
“Abigail was a great sitter for my pups! She was super communicative during her stay and ensured they were well taken care of and happy. My girl dog is very hyperactive and she was able to handle her very well! I'd recommend her for your dog sitting needs :)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 10 years, including my own dog, Chewie. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m experienced with puppies, large breeds, senior dogs, administering oral medications when needed, and providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own. currently work, but I keep my schedule updated and make time for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting around my work schedule, including many mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Brady was so good to our doggy. He kept us updated, sent pictures and walking frequently. We trust him so much and will book him any other time we need someone to watch our dog.”
“Paige did an excellent job sitting for our Belgian Malinois (Hoobie) and our Chocolate Labrador (Bella). Paige was timely and efficient, spending much time playing with the dogs and making sure they were comfortable. Paige had come by several days before to meet the dogs, and when she showed up the day of sitting the dogs were thrilled to see her! Handling two dogs at once (especially a Malinois!) can be challenging, but Paige made it look easy, you can tell she loves dogs and all animals! We highly recommend Paige, and will be asking her to dog sit again soon!”
“Sarah did an excellent job house/pet sitting us! She is very responsible and communicates well. It was nice getting surprise photos as well!! We definitely recommend her and would gladly use her again...”
About: I’ve had my own dog for years and have also cared for dogs belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of ages, personalities, and routines. I’ve cared for senior dogs as well as dogs with special needs, strict medication schedules, and specific daily routines.I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and providing attentive, individualized care. Whether a dog needs medication, extra patience, a consistent routine, or simply plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I have a super flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care! I’m comfortable following individual feeding, medication, exercise, and potty schedules, and I’m happy to adjust my routine around a pet’s specific needs. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own! I carefully follow each owner’s instructions/routines, keep pets in a safe environment, and always make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape points are secure. I’m also attentive to each pet’s individual personality and boundaries, especially with shy, nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I want both pets and their owners to feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they’re in my care!
“June stayed in our home. Ike was well cared for, happy and relaxed when we got home. Communication was clear, and everything went smoothly. We’d definitely hire her again.”
“We had Alyssa house sit for us while we were away, and she truly went above and beyond. It was so reassuring to see pictures of our pets having a great time with her, and we really felt like they were in great hands. She is so responsive, flexible and helpful, I can't recommend her enough!”

About: HI! My name is Alisha and the only thing I love more than a good pun is a good doggie! I have been a lover of all animals since as early as I can remember. I am very active and love bringing the pups out on my runs and exploring nature together. I am patient and love cuddles and kisses, but am a stickler for manners, rules, and boundaries. I have experience with deaf dogs, potty training, and crate training. My schedule is very flexible right now for any service you are in need of and have reliable transportation. I hope I can meet your doggie soon so I can have another new four-legged friend! There is a lot of flexibility in my current work schedule, so that means I have pretty open availability to supervise, play, and cuddle with your baby!! In my house home pets are part of the family. They deserve all the love and attention to give them the very best life possible!
“Can and Tay took good care of my 3 chihuahuas during my absence. We had a long meet and greet a couple days before I left. They were very attentive to my directions and very loving with the chis. I received daily feedback on how it was going. They left a framed pic of my child on the counter as well as leaving my house clean, looking the same as it did when I left. I will use again if they are available.”
“Casey is awesome! She takes wonderful care of our 2 Kitties and goes above and beyond, even providing extra fun activities to keep them entertained during her visits. She always includes great pictures in the report cards as well. We so appreciate her fur-babysitting skills!”

So appreciative of Kailyn and what great care she took of Hazel and our home. And she did this while not feeling well. Her communication is exactly what we are always looking for. Quick to respond and she was proactive letting us know when she would be leaving the house. Highly recommend and look forward to using her again. Thank you Kailyn!
Chelsea stayed in my home with my two senior cats and senior dog for two nights and was a dream! She was very communicative, sent great updates, treated my furbabies like they were her own, and left my home in great shape. I so appreciated her care and effort for my pets and I definitely recommend her services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll certainly be booking Chelsea again in the future!
Selina has always been great with Moo! I always get prompt and detailed communication. He seems really comfortable with her which is very important to me. She went above and beyond this time around to make sure moo had enough company while we were gone. Selina is my first choice cat sitter :)

The average cost of House Sitting in Modena is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $54 and $86 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 Modena 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 Modena 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 Modena 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.
