“Dena is a rockstar! To begin with, she is amazing with my dog. He is old, mostly blind,and has mobility issues. He needs multiple pain medications throughout the day and can get pretty cranky. Dena is clearly very patient and kind towards him. Tater Tot doesn't like very many people, but he has added Dena to his small group. This is the second time I have had her housesit for a week. Unfortunately, our water heater broke the night before we left and Dena graciously agreed to coordinate with the repairman. She also discovered a tick on Tater and convinced him to allow her to put his tick oil on. We are so thankful that she was here this week!! On top of all that she did for us and Tater, the house was perfect when we got home. We 10/10 highly recommend her for any petsitting/housesitting needs! We are so grateful to have found her for Tater Tot!”
“Christina has such a great personality. She was so warm and loving to our boy. While away Christina kept in communication and sent pictures as well. We were beyond grateful for her and will defiantly use her again in the future!”
“What wonderful people! I feel like Joshua and Mauren cared for my dog as they would their own. Their level of communication never left me wondering how things were going back home, while I was away. We had asked them to stay in our home, and they took such good care of it. I wouldn't hesitate to ask them to be a caregiver for my dog in the future.”
“This was Brody's first time with a petsitter at home. Maura made us feel very comfortable and kept us updated on how he was doing with frequent messages and photos. It was reassuring to know that he was safe and well cared for in the comfort of his own home and that she maintained his usual routine. We're looking forward to being repeat customers!”
“Halle took such great of our dogs! She kept in touch with texts and photos multiple times a day. My husband and I felt so relaxed knowing our doggos were well taken care of. When we got home the dogs looked great and were so happy to see us; we knew we left them in good hands ( no cold shoulder).”
“Great dog sitter and fast response. Sharon has been in constant communication and send pictures daily. I have even extended my days and she is my favorite sitter on here. Highly recommend her. I have rebooked her for many more jobs!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From childhood through adulthood, I’ve regularly spent weeknights and weekends caring for pets of friends, family, and neighbors—feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. Whether it’s an energetic pup who needs exercise or a more relaxed companion who just wants company, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care—not just a quick check-in. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. In a client’s home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos. If pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe space where they can relax and feel comfortable. I supervise closely, keep them on their usual schedule, and make sure they get plenty of interaction and care.
“Josie was awesome! She stayed at my house and cared for my 2 dogs, 4 cats, and 5 foster kittens! I was able to take my vacation and not have a worry in the world if my house and pets were doing okay. We came home and everything was clean, just the way I left it. My pets loved her! I got updates and pictures daily. She walked my dogs every day. I really appreciated Josie and will definitely book again with her!”
About: I have a great atmosphere for dogs and cats to hang out and play. When it's not snowing we have a big back yard to play but when it's cold my dogs and cat love to hang out inside. We are a military family and have traveled around the country with all our animals during our journey. We love to go walking, hiking and taking adventures as a family. When boarding, we don't just watch your pup, they become part of the family. We do two to three walks a day depending on weather. Distance is based on the animal. Shorter legs means less walking, longer legs means more walking faster pace. During walks, we try to work on pulling, barking or jumping to other dogs and try to just have fun. Our kids love to throw the ball and run around with the dogs in our yard! We have experience with diabetic and blind doggies as well. I currently work full time and able to do walks in the evenings during the week and through the days on the weekends. I enjoy the walks and your pups will too. I have a fence in back yard big enough for dogs to run around. My home is in a great neighborhood and nothing to be worried about. Within my home, I will make sure all animals are safe.
“Dawn was a great sitter for our puppy. He was very comfortable with her and despite all the rain which he does not like, she was able to get him to go out to do his business. She played with him and cuddled him up, sent pics and was genuinely very kind and caring for our pet. She was on time and very friendly! We will definitely use her again!”
“Joy watched my dog in my home for two weeks and did an amazing job. She sent daily updates and pictures that really put me at ease. She took excellent care of my dog and couldn't be nicer. I would recommend her to others and would hire her again.”
“Kayla was great. From the first meet and greet, she showed she was knowledgeable and experienced. We knew our dog would be in good hands. While away, she sent daily pictures and updates. Would highly recommend”
“Lori did a wonderful job, appreciate her care taken for both my big Cane Corso and my little Belgian Malinois puppy. She walked them, got them out for play and they enjoyed all the treats! Will definitely request her again in the future.”
“Alicia was great! I could tell from the pictures that our pups felt comfortable and at ease with her. When we came home, the dogs and cats all were happy to see us and were calm. I could tell she took excellent care of them because they were all happy and relaxed when we got home(and three of them have anxiety). Our house was clean and everything how we left it. 100% recommend to anyone looking for high quality care! Will definitely call her again for future pet sitting needs.”

Carrie was great with our Gilbert, she stayed over our place with him overnight while we were out of town! He still has puppy golden energy & can be hyper at times. She was very patient with him & updated us frequently with photos as well. I would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Olmsted Falls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Olmsted Falls on Rover is $39.96 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 1,225 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Olmsted Falls. 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 Olmsted Falls 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 Olmsted Falls 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 Olmsted Falls 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 with handling special pet needs in Olmsted Falls. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
