“Savannah was an amazing overnight sitter she watched after our 3 chihuahuas and did a very good job taking care of them and even cleaned up their toys and everything before leaving. Thank you!!”
“Elisa cared for 2 dogs and multiple cats in my home. It was wonderful knowing all the pets were being cared for and loved while I was away! I had plenty of updates and all my cats/dogs seemed so relaxed when I arrived back home.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I love walking and playing with dogs. When I’m not in school I take care of my dog Sadie. I’m currently studying aviation at wright state. I’m available for drops in and spending the nights on weekdays and available all day on weekends. If you have a un fenced yard I will watch the dog outside and I can easily put a dog into a crate if needed.
“Atlas was great! We needed someone to spend quality time with our kitties while we were away for 10 days and she took excellent care of the cats and our home. Her communication and pics allowed us to not worry and truly enjoy our trip. We will be using Atlas for future trips for sure!”
About: Hi! I’m Emmabelle, a college student studying Elementary Education. I’m responsible, dependable, patient, and caring, and I’d love to help take care of your pets while you’re away or need an extra hand! I have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and others, including feeding, providing fresh water, letting dogs outside, going on walks, giving pets plenty of attention, and keeping up with their normal routines. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust not only with your pets, but also in your home. Because of my background in childcare and education, I’m very comfortable being responsible for others and following detailed routines and instructions. I’ll always make sure I understand your pet’s individual needs, personality, schedule, and any house rules before you leave them in my care. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures during visits so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are safe and being loved on while you’re away! 🐾 I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m a college student, so my availability varies throughout the week, but I keep my Rover calendar updated and have more flexibility during evenings and weekends. I’d love to meet you and your pets! Feel free to message me with any questions or to set up a meet & greet. 😊 I am a college student with a pretty flexible schedule for check ins, walks, and overnight care! My availability is pretty open for the most part. I will treat your home with care, as if it was my own home. I will always be respectful of your space and belongings. Communication is always open!
“Maci was absolutely incredible. This was our first experience using Rover and she made it so enjoyable and simple. So easy to communicate with her all week as well! Very responsive and prompt. She stayed at our home for a week with our dog/tortoise/ and fish and did a wonderful job taking care of all three. Also the house was extremely taken care of.. she even washed the bedding before she left! I am so happy to have found her and excited to be able to travel with ease now. Thank you Maci!!”
“Marin was so great, our dog can be very challenging but she still did a great job with her. Very responsive and sent cute pics of our dog 🥰 We definitely recommend her!”
About: For me, caring for animals is a lifelong calling that started at age 10. My deep involvement with nature has shaped my consciousness to view animals as living beings who deserve the same respect and care that humans do. This philosophy drives my approach as a sitter, whether I am implementing structured house-training routines for young dogs and kittens or managing the specialized needs of senior animals. I truly believe humanity's history is deeply intertwined with learning from and adapting to the animal world. I bring that foundational respect into your home, ensuring your pets feel completely understood, safe, and loved according to their unique personalities and attentiveness they deserve as living, feeling members of your family. I work full time with Lyft so I will have plenty of time to entertain your pup, dog, kitten or cat. Lets us have fun I'm in their world. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep your pet's environment safe, predictable, and clean. To build trust, I strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, locking up, and household boundaries. I thoroughly scan spaces for hidden hazards like loose cords or choking risks before letting pets roam. During our time together, I mirror their established daily routines to minimize stress and keep them feeling secure. I also send regular photo updates and transparent messages so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and thriving.
About: I have provided pet care for family, friends, and neighbors through overnight house and dog sitting, dog walking, feeding, and daily care. I have also worked at a kennel, which gave me experience with a variety of dogs and a stronger understanding of basic dog behavior. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making each pet feel comfortable, cared for, and safe while their family is away. I am currently a service dog trainer that works with 4 paws ability to train the next generation of service dogs! I’m a full-time student at Cedarville University with extra time this year to care for your treasured furry family members. I’m available on weekends and would love to feed, play with, walk, and build a great rapport with both you and your dog. I’ll provide reliable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! As a previous dog sitter, I understand how important a clean, healthy environment is for a happy pet to thrive. Safety is always one of my top priorities for your dog, your home, and myself. I will follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet’s space clean and secure, and make sure they receive the necessary attention, exercise, and supervision they need while you’re away. I will also make sure your home remains safe and secure, and I will not invite or allow any guests into your home; only I will be present while caring for your pet.
“Did great with our crazy puppy. Kathelyn walked him and socialized him with her two dogs. She did great sitting in our home. We felt very comfortable with her and so did our pup.”
About: With a degree in psychology and public health, I bring a unique blend of clinical observation, medical literacy, and deep empathy to pet care. My experience spans 15 years of senior dog palliative care (including kidney disease management), chronic heart condition monitoring, and rescue rehabilitation. I practice a strictly non-punitive, preventative approach—reading subtle physical and behavioral cues to address root causes of stress rather than symptoms. Whether managing complex medication schedules, supporting anxious rescues, or caring for reptiles, I treat every animal with proactive, unconditional, and attentive care designed to help them thrive. My schedule is structured to offer dedicated, high-attention and present care. I am regularly available for weekend house sitting & extended stays, with flexible availability for weekday evening drop-ins and walks. Because I manage my booking calendar proactively, I only accept clients when I can be fully present and attentive to their pet's routine. I keep my availability up-to-date on my profile so you can always book with confidence. To ensure complete safety and individual focus, I do not host pets in my home. In your home, I provide a patient, peaceful, and fully present environment prioritizing your pet's needs without digital distractions outside of regular updates. I am expert at reading body language, respecting boundaries, and maintaining non-punitive, calm routines. I encourage home cameras for your peace of mind and provide thorough photo/video updates. Neighborhood walks are tailored strictly to comfortable, permitted areas at your pet’s natural pace.
“Great, dog loving sitter who will truly care for your pet as if you never left. It was such a relief knowing my fur babies were taken care of and we could just relax and enjoy vacation. We are booking again for November. Thank you!”
“She was so good with my senior dog. She stayed in touch and gave me updates daily. First time I left my pet at home for a week with a caregiver. I truly felt my senior pup was in great hands. Thank you Ashley.”
About: Dogs are my everything. I have watched and cared for dogs for years and am meticulous about following instructions and providing updates and photos. When I care for your dog, they are my only responsibility. I am currently working temporarily in the area until the end of December. I actually have three little senior dogs back at home with my partner, but since I am away from them (and free from my dog parent duties) I have quite a bit of free time (especially on the weekends and evenings). I would love to be able to help your dog(s) during my time here in Ohio. I work at WPAFB, which means that I am busy during the workday. However, on the weekends and in the evenings I can be completely free to care for your dog(s). I can care for all ages of dogs. My dogs take medication, so I can handle and understand the importance of administering medication. I am very communicative and love sending photos. And if I don't know something, I will always ask!
“Tatum was the most respectful, loving, and caring sitter for my new puppy! She was very knowledgeable about dogs! She did everything I asked and followed directions clearly. Tatum also sent me a ton of pictures and text updates throughout her stay at my apartment. I am so happy I found her as my sitter!!! After I had a tough time with a different sitter in the past, she definitely made me feel comforted that my puppy was taken care of. Very professional care! I will be using her as much as possible!”
About: I've taken care of cat's and dogs all of my life. I have 2 cats that are litter trained. I also know how to teach dogs basic training! I'm currently available everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays as I have college those days but I'm looking to get extra cash and I love animals I only have 2 cats that I don't allow outside but I let them wonder anywhere in the house. I also have toys for them to play with

Susan was absolutely incredible with our dogs! She took the time to come for a visit before house sitting and then took so much care of our little animals and home while she was there. We will definitely be reaching back out to her when we need someone to watch our dogs again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Park Layne is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $65 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Park Layne 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 Park Layne 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 Park Layne 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.

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.
