“Montgomery was very well taken care of even with him being a dog that is up most of the night. Angela helped him when he fell and needed to get picked up. She made the experience very easy for me.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.
“She was wonderful. The dogs loved her and it was like we weren’t even gone! The house was perfect when we returned and she sent us frequent updates on our canine babies! I will definitely use Elyza again! Thank you so very much!!!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was around 10 years old, and cats aince I was 15. I have trained, bathed, walked, and simply adored dogs for all these years! I worked with a certified trainer to train my Lucy in obedience and service tasks. I have experience taking care of puppies, seniors dogs, senior cats, and kittens. I have nursed and fostered kittens as young as three weeks to get them out of barn dumps and into loving homes. My youngest cat, Courage, is my first ever foster fail!

“Karson was great! She kept me updated the whole time and sent lots of pictures, which made me feel so much better being away from my dogs. Everything was taken care of when I got home, and she even took the trash out before she left, which was so thoughtful. I’d definitely book with her again!”

About: have extensive experience caring for cats with special needs and common health conditions. I’m familiar with upper respiratory infections (such as feline herpesvirus), ear mites, digestive sensitivities, and post-surgery recovery care. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, eye drops, and ear treatments as instructed by pet parents or veterinarians. I pay close attention to symptoms such as sneezing, nasal or eye discharge, ear scratching, appetite changes, litter box habits, and overall behavior to help monitor a cat’s condition. I understand how to properly isolate cats when needed, maintain a clean and low-stress environment, and follow hygiene protocols to reduce the risk of cross-contamination—especially in multi-cat households. I’m patient with shy, anxious, or reactive cats and take a gentle, calm approach to build trust. My goal is always to keep cats comfortable, safe, and stress-free while keeping pet parents informed with regular updates. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, boarding, and extended stays, and I make sure pets are never rushed or left unattended for long periods of time. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and trust in both my home and my client’s home. I carefully follow all care instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding routines, medication schedules, and special needs. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I always monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. I’m experienced in managing multi-pet households, maintaining proper hygiene, and ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and informed while they’re away.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 11 and have experience with a wide veriety of small to large size dogs. Experience includins walking, playing, pottying , brushing and giving medicine. Pet care is my primary focus as I am not employed elsewhere. Because I stay at the pet's home, my routine is based around care of the pet. I spend my time in the client's home playing with and caring for the pet(s). I follow the pet's routine as directed by the client, providing walks, feedings, play and bedtime routines the pet is accustomed to having.
About: Often families are surprised because their pets naturally bond with me, this is why my family calls me a animal whisperer. I have been caring for animals for most of my life and even worked for a veterinarian for two years. I work full time during the day, so pet care is my evenings-and-weekends joy — available weekdays after 4pm, weekends all day, and for overnight house sits. I mostly house sit and dog walk, and I can also offer bathing and unlimited belly rubs! I'm comfortable with most dogs, but I do require a meet & greet first to determine the fit. And it's not just dogs and cats — hamsters, reptiles, and exotic pets are welcome too, just message me to inquire first so we can talk through their routine. I have taken care of animals with allergies and behavior issues without any problems. I can follow directions that you may have for your pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,215 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Sterling. 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 Mount Sterling 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 Sterling 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 Sterling 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.
