“Jeannie was absolutely amazing! She watched our three pups—Lulu, Whiskey, and Indie—and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, her communication was thoughtful and consistent. She kept us updated with tons of photos and videos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Each of our dogs has their own personality, and Jeannie gave them all the love and attention they needed. It was clear she truly cared for them like they were her own. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs—and that’s the best feeling in the world! We would 100% book with Jeannie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and kind to care for their pets. Thank you, Jeannie! P.S. she makes one heck of a banana blueberry muffin 😊”
About: I will make myself available to do everything possible to keep your dog happy and calm while you are away. Animals are my passion and come natural to me. You will have to worries leaving them me. I’m currently working part-time cleaning houses. As well as, babysitting and pet sitting. I make my own schedule so I can be available when you need me. I try to stick to the routine the pets are most used to as not to stress them out too much. Regular feeding, walking, etc.
“Rylinn was great! Flawless communication, animals and home well cared for. Thankful for her time and help last minute. Definitely will keep her in mind for future pet sitting needs!”
About: hello, my name is kylie! i am 23 years old & my boyfriend, josh, & i are big time animal lovers. we have been pet sitting full-time since the beginning of this year but have been dog/cat owners for our entire lives. it has truly been such a life enhancing experience. we are always looking to build our cliente & would love YOU to be next. josh & i also both carry Pet Care insurance. my boyfriend & i have been lucky enough to do pet sitting full-time so i always have time to accommodate any of my clients 🤍 this job is my top priority We have 1 dog & 1 cat. Our dog, Toby, is an energetic boxer-beagle mix. He is about 6 years old & we’ve had him since he was a baby. Our cat, Skye, is less than one year old & we got her back in May 2025. She is such a sweet cat, & loves going outside sometimes in the front yard.
“Kylie did great with my animals when I was away for the weekend. Both my dog and cat can be wary of new people, but she was patient with them and they warmed up to her. I’m sure they would be happy to have her here again!”
“Thank you so much Christina! You did a great job with Sadie and it made our weekend stress free. The communication was fabulous and updates and pictures were so nice to have. We appreciate you and will definitely be requesting your services again as well as recommending you!”
“Kayla B. was awesome! So happy to have found her to watch our dog. She gave him lots of tender loving care and kept us up to date on his wellbeing. She took care of our home as though it was her own. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Our dog loved Zoe! He was so happy to see her that he’d cry and lean on her. This speaks volumes to what a great job she did with him! I’d have her sit with him again and again! So lucky we found her!”
“What more could you ask for! Mature and responsible. Loved on my pets like I do…and they loved her! She shared pictures throughout the week which was GREATLY appreciated! I worried about my dog’s separation anxiety, but didn’t need to. Amanda instantly was one of the pack. She cared for the house, kept it clean, and brought in the mail. Perfect 5 star sitter.”
“Chloe was phenomenal with our dogs - she watched them for a long weekend when we were out of town. Not only did she tax excellent care of our fur babies, she left the house in pristine condition - she went above and beyond what I requested - what a superstar!!!”
“I am very overprotective and not easy to trust people watching my fur babies. Cassandra did an amazing job and was very communicative the entire time. I was able to enjoy my vacation and know my babies were in the best hands possible. Would absolutely recommend her! I have a senior dog, a puppy, and two cats and they all loved her (even my very shy cat who only likes me was being super cuddly with her)!!!!!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving Maya in charge. She was always quick to respond and gave us updates with pictures. The pets seemed to really take to her and were happy to see her when she arrived. The house was in great shape when we returned. Her communication skills were excellent. Will definitely use again.”
“Ebony did a great job watching my 11 mo. old puppy over the weekend. She stayed and left the house spotless. She also communicated very well when my puppy had an issue with her harness (puppy was nervous about someone new) and was open about what was going on. Puppy was in good hands and I could relax on vacation. I would highly recommend using Ebony for an overnight stay!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and finding someone to stay overnights with my pets. That was a really big deal for me. James has been amazing since the first time we talked. He took great care of my babies, my home and made my husband and I feel at ease. He was communicative, punctual and transparent. I would recommend James to anyone!”
“Michelle is such a calm and reassuring presence around dogs. She can read their body language and reacts exactly how the dog needs. I would be thrilled to have her watch my dog again.”
“Melanie did a wonderful job caring for our 2 anxious dogs! We really appreciated the updates and pictures. Melanie is great with dogs and they seemed to have fun with her. Would rebook with Melanie!”

I knew from the meet-and-greet that Jeannie was the right person as my Molly took to her right away. Jeannie took good care of Molly, followed instructions, is respectful, responsible, reliable and trustworthy. She sent lots of pictures to let me know how things were going. Excellent communication! Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Royalton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Royalton on Rover is $59.24 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,358 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Royalton. 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 North Royalton 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 North Royalton 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 North Royalton 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.
