“I have used Laci for both drop in and overnight services. She met with us for a meet and greet before the sitting dates. My Lola took up to her right away. Laci provided updates and picture and followed directions left for her the day of the sittings. I would seek out her service again for sure!”
“We couldn’t recommend Debbie enough!!!! She was (miraculously) available fairly last minute for our trip and from the word go, she was top notch! Our home and puppy Philomena were so well cared for while we were away. Debbie sent us plenty (but not too many) of snapshots and occasional videos of Phil living her best life while we were away. Thank you Debbie for being Phil’s new friend and we can’t wait to have you back again!. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, ‘no notes’ as the saying goes. 🥰.”
“Jenna stayed at my house for 7 days/6 nights. I am so glad to have found her!! She is so sweet and sent us pictures of our Maribelle every day while we were gone. Maribelle doesn't do well with staying outside of a home, so it was such a blessing to have someone come in and stay at our house with her and try to keep her in a similar routine as if we were there. It helped immensely for Maribelle's separation anxiety. She asked me a lot of questions beforehand about how we care for Maribelle and made me feel very comfortable to leave Maribelle in her care prior to her stay. Maribelle seemed to have such a great time!! She was exhausted when we got back :) And our house was just as we left it. I would definitely recommend to anyone in need of a dog sitter!!”
“Joshua took great care of our 2 dogs in our home. He followed our directions and requests, spent a lot of time with them, and was great at keeping us updated and sending photos. We would use him again!”
About: I’ve taken care of doggies most of my entire life. I’m experienced, quick on my feet and energetic. I have a large, grassy backyard with a privacy fence, so your pup has freedom to run around as much as he or she wants! Excited to meet your little fur baby! I work from home so I have the flexibility to go out and walk or play with your pup! I’m free all weekends as well. I have my own doggie who is friendly, energetic and loves to play. He gets along with everyone. My house has a big backyard with a fence so the dogs are free to run around as much as they’d like. I also have a portable fence for inside the house if needed.
“Julie was so helpful to us! She took care of our elderly dog and skittish kitty with as much love as we would have. She provided regular updates and photos and even did light housekeeping for us-that we didn’t expect at all!! I highly recommend Julie for your pets and home.”
“Jess really is the best! We just moved to the area and were looking for a reliable sitter for our fur baby - we have only ever trusted family or friends to watch him prior. Jess was communicative the whole time, sending updates multiple times a day, making us feel very at ease with the care Gordon was getting. When we got home our house was cleaner than we left it and Gordon was very happy and well taken care of. Well will definitely be using Jess for future needs!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl and that has been many many years ago. I have also worked as an animal tech and research assistant where I maintained animal colonies and worked with large animals. I believe having animals in your life is a blessing. I am retired and I love animals so I thought I would give some love and attention to the animals that need some attention while the owner is away from them. I have a fenced in yard that the dogs can run and play. I am also there with the dogs most if not all of the day.
About: I have taken care of small & large breed dogs since 5 years old. I have also taken care of cats since 5 years old, including nourishing kittens back to health. I have a deep passion for animals and keeping them safe & loved. I currently work part time while doing my internship & enrolled in school. While I am typically out during daytime hours my evenings are always open! I’ll get your fur baby love & care while advancing my education and career! I ensure safety first and foremost. Utilize whatever safety measure you have for your fur baby. I respect all dietary needs and pet preferences. Whether your fur baby wants love or to be left alone, I will adapt to their needs.
“Excellent Dogsitter-watched our two dogs in our home. Very responsive and sent updates regarding the dogs while we were away. Made sure the dogs got plenty of exercise. Will be a repeat customer!”
“Mana did a wonderful job dog-sitting in our home while we were out of town for a family wedding. She was thorough, asked all the right questions, sent lots of pics and texted us regularly. Her warm and caring demeanor put our dog at ease and us as well. We were able to enjoy the wedding and know that our dog was making a new friend!”
“SO greatful for Stella! She was incredibly communicative and reliable—our dog was so happy with her while we were away. A literal dream come true for my anxious-brain; Stella was the best pet sitter I’ve ever employed. We will be using her exclusively moving forward and highly recommend her to anyone searching for someone who truly cares about your animal and will allow you invaluable peace of mind while you’re away.”
About: Hello! My name is Andy. I’m 32 years old and I live in Milford, Ohio. I’m a dedicated pet caregiver and passionate animal enthusiast. My greatest attribute is my devotion to animal welfare; I’ve always been the person who drops everything whenever I see an animal in need! I have 5 years of professional experience in a kennel/daycare environment. I also have over 25 years of experience as a dog owner; each of my 5 wonderful dogs I’ve owned had the pleasure of comfortably living into their senior years. 3 of them required special medical needs including: - Daily insulin injections for diabetes maintenance - Daily oral medications for physical illness/injuries - Constant surveillance to account for sudden medical events like seizures, anxiety attacks, and injury risks I never shy away from dogs with extra medical, behavioral, or emotional needs. In fact, those are my favorite pet personalities to work with and care for! I’m currently unemployed and have an open schedule that allows me to fully prioritize pet care. My schedule is highly adaptive; I can be a night owl or an early riser, depending on the needs of your pets. My home is currently animal-free and sits on a 9-acre plot of open, unfenced land that is free for your pets & I to utilize for walks and play time. Being a former dog owner, I have many of the resources at home you may require, including a large crate, food storage, leashes & other safety equipment, and pet beds (although I also allow pets on my own furniture!). My house is a modest 2,000 sq ft ranch, with 2 bedrooms and a spacious living area.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, from kittens and puppies to senior pets. I currently have two cats and a Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, needs, and large-breed dogs. I also have experience caring for cats with illnesses and diabetes, including administering oral medications, other medications, and injections. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and medication schedules and understand how important consistency can be for pets with special needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication, or just some extra love and attention, I’ll care for them like one of my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they need. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, medication needs, and other care. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule whenever possible. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and entering your home. I’ll always follow your instructions closely and respect your pet’s normal routine, personality, and boundaries. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, administering medications and injections, and keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. I have a fenced in yard!
“I really appreciated the ability to book her at a late notice. Although I was not able to meet her in person, I came home to happy healthy puppies. Pictures would have been nice but I won't doc her for that - handling two energetic puppies is enough and if she experienced what I experience, they do not sit still for pictures.”
“Katie is not only a great sitter but stays cool while facing an emergency situation (two visits from the fire department in the middle of the night!) 😳 A faulty smoke alarm ! Katie, thanks so much for your care of our brood and handling a tricky situation !”
“Jacqueline was great with Harper and stayed with her for a week while we were on vacation. She gave me frequent updates and I was comfortable that Harper was well taken care of while we were gone!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Repose
Jessica was an awesome in-home sitter for my 2 dogs. She sent updates every day with photos, and was available for questions/requests during her stay. She left my house clean and in the way I left it. My time away was stress-free, because I knew my babies were in good hands. My dogs were very happy and not stressed at all. I would highly recommend Jess (as long as it doesn’t interfere with when I need her!😉)
My pups can be high maintenance and she was great with them. She took several pictures and sent them to me and they looked very happy. She has communicated a lot with me to help offer suggestions for my 1 year old that I have been struggling with training. I’m very picky about my babies and I am so thankful we found her.
Laci is great with my Lola! As long as she will care for her, I will continue to use her services. Lola likes her and I feel comfortable leaving her in Laci’s care and that is a great relief when I am gone out of state. I always receive pictures to see how my fur baby is doing. Laci has completed overnight sitting as well as drop in visit. Recommended 100%

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mount Repose is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $67 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.

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 Mount Repose 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 Mount Repose 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 Mount Repose 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 Mount Repose. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
