“Trevor was wonderful during a not so great time for my pup. Burt was in post op recovery and Trevor was able to take great care of him, provided daily updates, took him for his stroller rides and gave him his meds so he can rest up.”

About: I have always had dogs and cats in my household and care for them deeply. I often would take care of friends or family’s dogs just for the fun of it. I use to work at a dog resort so I am well trained in handling dogs and being able to tell what they are feeling. I have special skills with dogs of all ages and i ensure your companion will be happier than ever! I currently work Monday-Thursday from 9:30-6:30 and Friday from 8-4. I understand that may not work with some, which I completely understand! I have pet/house sit before and i’ve received amazing reviews. I can provide references if you’d like! I started this Rover account for my love of all animals, and I am happy to help care for them while you’re gone! I have prior experience at a doggie daycare so I am well trained on food and meal prep, as well as behavioral training. My inbox is always open so feel free to message me!! I like to treat my pets as my best friends. I feel the need to constantly reassure them that i love them while also understanding they might need their space. I have worked with all kinds of behavioral differences in many dogs and I assure you I am able to properly care for your pets in any situation. I am able to deal with all kinds of personalities with the respective care.
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed caring for animals. I regularly pet sit my friend Josh’s three cats when he’s away, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention. I also frequently care for my girlfriend’s dog, so I’m experienced with the day-to-day responsibilities that come with caring for dogs. Growing up with multiple cats and dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to each pet’s individual personality can be. I understand that every animal has different routines and comfort levels, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe and relaxed. When your pet is in my care, my priority is providing a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where they can feel at home. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’m trying to make Rover my main job. So my schedule is pretty open at all times! Besides Rover. I produce music for clients. I will follow your instructions while in your home! Make sure they are fed properly and taken out on time! In my home, I try to mirror how you prefer things done in your home! I can crate them if needed.
“We booked Shania to house sit for more than a week and take care of our two dogs and two cats. She was great, and our babies loved all the snuggles and attention she gave them! She provided regular updates and was easy to communicate with, which gave us peace of mind while traveling. One of our cats requires special feeding, and one of our dogs is geriatric, needs medication, and has a special food mix. Shania was well-versed in taking care of their needs and we will definitely be booking her again for our next trip!”

“Sydney has been a fantastic sitter for our dogs, Jettson and Slinky. Our home is treated with respect, and Sydney's thoughtful updates, complete with delightful photos, keep us connected with our fur babies throughout the day. We feel a remarkable level of comfort, knowing she adheres to feeding schedules and ensures regular walks. Jettson and Slinky clearly adore her, and we're grateful for the peace of mind Sydney brings to our time away from home.”
About: I recently went on a trip for my birthday and found this app as a resort for my animals while i was off. i was so happy with this app and i decided to sign myself up for it since i have a strong love for animals and i am a college student, at UAB, so it’s easy to fit my weird schedule.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience as a pet owner my whole life for cats and dogs (I have one Shih-tzu and one cat as of now!). I have also provided walks for other pets for 2 years for my family and friends, offering personalized care and a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. My passion for pets ensures they receive the attention, love, and exercise they deserve! I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I'm looking to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for pets is a great fit. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, I can easily work them into my daily routine and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I treat every pet like they're my own! I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, plenty of exercise, and lots of attention. I always follow the owner's instructions, whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or keeping up with their normal routine. I keep the environment clean and safe, watch for anything that seems off, and send regular updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to help them feel comfortable, relaxed, and loved while you're away.
“We highly recommend ASHLEY for any of your pet care needs. Our dogs, Mia and Bella are like our children, and we are very particular about who we allow to care for them. Ashley cares for our dogs as if they were her own. She is extremely dedicated, professional and responsible when sitting with our dogs. Ashley gives us an update on how they did and pictures or video of them during her stay. We can travel now and have confidence knowing they are loved and in such good hands while we’re gone. Ashley provides such a wonderful, caring service…you can’t get that just anywhere!! Judy & Roger L.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Morris
Jessica took such good care of our Bo dog & our home!! She is amazing and I recommend her wholeheartedly.....except when I need her, then you can't have her!!! Bo loves her and her care and attention were very evident. Excellent communication and totally reliable.
Jessica was amazing! She kept us informed and sent pics! she was so sweet and kind and I know our pupps loved her. The next day when she was gone they went straight to her “room” when they woke up. That made me so happy knowing they were very well loved on. She even made sure the floors and bedding were clean when we came home and left the sweetest pup report cards! I hope she will always take care of our babies🩵

The average cost of House Sitting in Morris is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $51 and $101 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 Morris 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 Morris 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 Morris 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.

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.
