“From the moment I met Aiden I knew he was an animal lover. Our dogs immediately gravitated to him. I felt very comfortable not only leaving him in charge of our pups, but our house. He communicated every day sending photos and videos. He filled the doggie pool up for some water fun and played music so Charlie could sing along to. ❤️ When a tornado warning came through he took the dogs to the basement and comforted them until it passed. He even cleaned up our garden beds!!! I would 💯 recommend Aiden!! We came home to a very clean house and well taken care of pups! Thank you so much, Aiden, for loving our pups and setting my mind at peace while we were away!”
“Amber is incredible. I have had other house sitters in the past but none compare to her professionalism, and her level of care to both my animals and my home. Its never comfortable or easy to trust a "stranger" in your home, or with your pets, but she elimated ALL concerns in the first 24 hours. My German Shepherd, Bozz, is an amazing dog but he is only 2 years old and still learning socialization so he doesnt always warm up to strangers quickly. This was his first time being away from me since he was born, so I was very nervous. However, Amber was able to bond with him quickly into the week, and I came home completely stunned at how happy and calm my boy was. Im not sure what she did but somehow his sometimes quirky and nervous attitude was gone. He is a different dog. Hes always been great but lacked in social skills with new people. Its hard to describe what I am referencing but as a German shepherd owner of around 25 years I can say without a doubt that my boy was treated with nothing but the best love and attention. I could go on and on about how impressed I am. Do not hesitate to trust or hire Amber. I do not say this lightly....... she is great and her rate is too cheap. LOL. If you hire her, tip her because you are getting a bargain. Not only did she fulfill her role as a dog sitter, but she also managed to make my house look amazing. She worked her butt off cleaning while we were gone without any request from me. I will also be hiring her soon to come back and clean for us as well. I do not know how to thank her for her efforts enough. Just hire her, and you will see what I mean. Let's get this girl out of her day job so she can do this and cleaning full-time because she deserves it. Thank you Amber, we hope your stay here was just as good of an experience as it was for Bozz, and for us. 🤙”
About: Loving your Babies is full time commitment. Allowing me to help with transition is my favorite part of my day. All ages need love and attention. Working for a daycare I can see the benefits of caregiving to children. I would love to see this in pets as well. Everyone deserves a chance to grow.e Pets are very much the most creative beings on this earth. They can communicate through verbal and non verbal cues. Building the bond and trust is essential to not only understand, but love your babies. I love building in this environment
About: I've taken care of many different kinds of animals for many years. I've gravitated towards animals as long as I can remember, and have always seeked experience wherever I can. I have walked, animal sat, full groomed, bathed, and more! Anything that I haven't done, I'm always willing to learn! I currently go to college and live on campus! During the summer months I am home and have lots of time to work with your pets! My schedule is relatively open through July and fairly flexible come August! Feel free to send me a message for details!! I'm always willing to work with what your dog does best with! I'm able to crate when needed, use a long line, and have many tools and leashes if needed!
About: Our household has gone to the dogs - literally. Six furry friends rule the roost, and we're just happy to be their minions. Homemade dog treats are the highlight of our day, because who needs human snacks? The pups lounge on the furniture, and porch hangouts are mandatory. We're retired & am home full time. We have 6 dogs & I really love them more than most humans, honestly .. ❤️ 💖 💗 We have a fenced in yard, we also have a smaller fenced in area for puppies that would rather play alone. We spend one on one time with everyone everyday
“I wish I could leave Sarah 10 stars! I interviewed 4 Rover house sitters before I found Sarah. She immediately put my mind at ease when I saw her interact with my pups. She sent tons of pictures and updates during her stay! She kept the house clean and even took out the trash! I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I understand the importance of spending time getting to know your pets personality, especially while their favorite human is away. This has allowed me to form connections with previous clients over the years that have chosen to book with me continuously for both cats and dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and love to work online! Pet sitting and walking is the perfect balance of work and activity for me! I would love to fit your fur baby into my schedule! I am a former collegiate athlete, and love to exercise with a buddy! Dogs are the perfect pair for that! I also love to spend time remotely, pet sitting is the perfect pair for that! I love to maintain a routine for your fur babies. Every animal is different and deserves specialized care catering to them! Making sure that my schedule aligns with theirs is a priority in my work.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Morehead on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 23 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Morehead. 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 Morehead 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 Morehead 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 Morehead 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
