“This was our first time having Candice do overnights with our boy Oreo who is 2.5 years old for 5 nights and we really enjoyed being able to not have any stress while on vacation. She stayed at our home for the entire 6 days and did not leave once. We returned home and our house looked exactly like we left it...very clean. We would highly recommend her as she was on time and very responsible with letting us know that we could travel stress free while she took great care of our pup. She also made sure that Oreo had his meds daily. We have already booked her for our next vacation.”
“Jeanne took amazingly wonderful care of my two cats, Mia and Milo! She really goes above and beyond expectations! Even cleaned the whole house after her stay! She spent alot of time with Mia and Milo, giving them tons of attention! She was highly recommended by my veterinarian, and I also highly recommend her! I greatly appreciate her!!!”
“Samm house sat our 3 pups for 5 days! One of our pups is a senior dog with special needs that requires drops and gel in his eyes everyday/night. All 3 pups were very well taken care of and Samm was such a sweet house guest!”
“Paige did a great job! She updated us very frequently on the status of our pups, with plenty of adorable pictures! She not only took great care of our dogs, but she also left our house in the same condition as when we left. We barely could tell anyone had been there!”
About: I’ve owned many types of pets and cared for them according to their needs including exotic animals, senior animals, and disabled animals of all types. Your pet would be no exception and would be my new best friend and thrive under my care. I currently work part time and attend ysu online as a pre law student. That said I have plenty of time on my days off to give your pet amazing care, love, and support. The care my clients will receive will be exemplary and will have 100% of my attention and efforts just like I give my own pets.
“Tate did a wonderful job caring for our fur family during our vacation! She asked questions to ensure she understood how to care for our special gang. We especially appreciated the photos she sent us daily which helped to ease our concerns being away. She treated not only our animals but our home respectfully and we would have no reservations (and look forward to) using her in the future.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ronda! Leaving our pets for an extended period is never easy, but she made the entire experience stress-free. She was dependable and punctual for every visit, followed all of our instructions, and took exceptional care of our pets. One of the things we appreciated most was the thoughtful updates and the many photos she sent throughout our trip. Seeing our pets happy, relaxed, and well cared for gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation. What truly set her apart was her kindness, patience, and genuine compassion. She treated our pets as if they were her own. She is honest, trustworthy, and demonstrates the highest level of integrity. We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding care she provided and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter. We will absolutely book with her again!”
About: I can feed, walk, and play with your pets, clean litter boxes, provide fresh water, and take care of anything else they may need! I’m also comfortable giving medications and have experience caring for diabetic dogs. I’m happy to provide loving, reliable care and make sure your pets are safe, happy, and well taken care of while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I currently work 4 days/week in the evenings at a barn(4 days/week; 2 hours/day) and I just got a job at Amazon! I can give your animals all the attention and loving they need! I can crate your dog if you need me to. Safety of all animals is my first priority before anything else comes in to play!
“Linzy was great! She truly loved our dog while we were away. She sent frequent updates, with photos and videos of Baxter. She walked him twice (more than we do) and overly communicated when she needed to leave the house for a bit. She was great and we’ll certainly utilize her services in the future!”
“Sia was an awesome pet/house sitter for our old hound and very shy cat. The house was clean and the pets were happy and healthy when we returned. Both animals have health issues and many meds to manage. Sia took care of everyone. Sia even drove to the vet to pick up a new prescription that our cat needed. Great communication and super helpful!”
“We are very satisfied with the care Maggie received. She was treated like family and came home even more spoiled than when she went, if that’s possible! This was our first experience employing a non family member and we had complete confidence that she was in great care! We received daily updates and pictures. We would highly recommend her to care for your fur baby!”
About: Hello! I was a kennel supervisor at a daycare and boarding facility for years and have decided to branch off in hoping of having a following of my own! I am very skilled in all forms of care from medications (even insulin), special diets and just overall loving every dog I meet!! I would be available for whatever time slots you are wanting! I currently have an open schedule and should be able to accommodate your needs. I am able to come to any clients home and deliver a SAFE and KNOWLEDGABLE peace of mind. I worked with 100+ dogs a day with parents knowing I was the one overseeing their care!
About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give to every pet I care for. I treat every animal like they are my own and take the time to learn their personality, routines, and individual needs. I’m patient, responsible, and always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, so I make communication and updates a priority. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident in my care. I’m currently a ysu student commuting from home in the Austintown area. I work in home health care 2-4 times a week. I have lots of free time to care for your pets! I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they provide for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and bedtime. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and a clean and comfortable space. I also give pets the time they need to feel comfortable with me and always respect their personality and boundaries. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

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 Niles 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 Niles 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Niles 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.
