“Callista is a very loving and caring person when it comes to animals. I have a cat that most people don’t ever meet, and he was sitting by her by the end of the first day that she was here. That says a lot about how calm and loving she is with the animals. She took top-notch care of my babies! She’s very polite and respectful. I am very glad to have had Callista watching my pets while we were gone.”
About: Trusted and responsive animal lover! Growing up my family and I raised and bred cats. With a tremendous backyard in Wisconsin we had no problem keeping our pets entertained. After I was 10 we got two dogs to come in and the house was packed with animals. My brother and I would always be hanging out and sitting as well as doing the same amongst our neighborhood. Please feel free to text or call, I love meeting new people and pets and am always available for weekends and late nights. Thank you for checking out my profile and I am excited you chose me to take care of your pet/ extended family member at the lowest cost I can. Have a wonderful day and don’t forget to ask if you have special requests or questions. I work remote, and am active during the morning and evening taking Jaxtyn to dog parks and on walks. I can provide bathroom breaks and daily cuddles. I have a nanny cam to watch when not at home. Am very aware of my surroundings and cleanly when visiting other homes. Also, a strong and decisive communicator with a bit of dog training experience.
“So happy with Elizabeth. My dogs were very well taken care of and we’ll definitely set up another appointment. She sent pictures and we felt very comfortable leaving for an overnight. Definitely recommend.”
“Ava was wonderful with my dogs! She took the time to meet Goose, my fearful dog, prior to house sitting and was so kind and respectful to Goose’s needs. She had all three dogs sleeping in bed and absolutely loving their time with Ava.”
About: About Me My family owned an animal kennel rescue for several years, which gave me valuable hands-on experience and taught me how to stay calm and act quickly in emergency situations. That background has given me a deep respect for animals and the ability to respond with care when unexpected things happen. I’ve been in situations where I needed to act fast—whether an animal was injured or in distress—and I want you to know that if anything were to happen to your fur baby, I’m prepared to respond. What I Offer • Attentive, compassionate care for your cat or dog • A commitment to go above and beyond so your pet feels safe, loved, and happy • An understanding of how hard it can be for pets to be away from their family, and the patience to comfort them through it My Promise I want you to enjoy your trip or focus on your work without worrying if your pet is being cared for properly. With me, you can feel confident that your little one will be treated like family and return to you just as happy—if not happier—than when you left. No more wondering—book me today! I can’t wait to meet your pet. Pet care is part of my everyday routine—I make time each morning and evening for walks, play, and cuddles. I’m available throughout the week and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, pets have a cozy, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play and rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines exactly, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular updates so you feel confident your furry friend is safe and happy.

FAQs for House Sitting - Olean
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 31 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Olean. 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 Olean 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 Olean 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 Olean 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
