“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was very good at communicating with us and giving us feedback on the dogs each day. She would send us picture updates and let us know when the babies were getting some yard time catching ball. She left our house spotless after her 3 night stay with Minnie & Puddin’ (and honestly better than we left it). My husband and I will be using her again in the future , and we hope our review can help others considering Elizabeth as their furry friend sitter too.”

About: I am an animal lover with a bias towards dogs! I have had dogs of all different breeds and sizes throughout my life (including Rottweilers, Basset Hounds, Pitt Bulls, Doberman Pinschers and St. Bernards), and I can truly say that pups make the world a better place! I would love to walk or care for your fur-baby. I understand the sacred bond that an owner has with their animals, so you can trust and believe that your dog will be treated with the utmost love, respect and professionalism. Rain or shine, I can be available to get your dog exercised and back to your home safe and sound. I would love to meet your pet and to make your life a little easier. See you soon!
“Kiera is the best! She took such great care of our zoo and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and safe. She stayed in touch with updates and photos and we vacationed easy because we knew they were in great hands. We came back to a tidy house and content animals. 14/10”
“Elisa is absolutely wonderful! This is the second time she has come to our home to watch our pets and has done a great job. She was even sick and had to go to the er but that didn’t stop her from taking care of them! I had no back up as we are still new to all of this. She assured me she was able to keep taking care of our pet and she did a great job. I don’t know what I would do without her! We love you Elisa! Thank you so much!!!”

About: I have a great deal of passion for training dogs and horses. I've loved and cared for a multitude of different species, including a sheep! My routine is to come home, have some dinner, and then feed/play with my dog and cats. I'd love to spend time with more pets! It's imperative to me that petsitters understand individual pet body language & communicate with pet parents to ensure that every pet feels secure & comfortable.
“This is our second time using Susan, and we will continue to use her for all trips going forward. She treats our dogs like they are her own and I couldn’t ask for anything more!”

“Yolena was a life saver and was able to watch my cat even though the request was very last minute. She kept me updated and sent pictures letting me know how my cat was doing. Great communication as well! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since my teenage years, giving me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities—from playful puppies and high-energy pups to sweet senior dogs. I also have extensive experience with cats and even bearded dragons! I’m comfortable with pets who are shy, anxious, independent, energetic, or extra cuddly. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while their humans are away. My goal is simple: happy pets, happy humans, and lots of tail wags and cuddles along the way! 🐾 Reliable care, lots of love, and a happy pet while you’re away! Pet care has been part of my life since I was a teenager, and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy—not just a job. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies and energetic dogs to senior pets, independent cats, and even small/exotic pets. I work my schedule around my clients, so I can give each pet the attention they deserve rather than making them feel like just another stop. I follow your routines and instructions closely and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. ❤️ Whether your pet needs a long walk, a quick check-in, some playtime, medication or special care, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help! Your pets are family—and I’ll treat them that way. 🐾 And yes… there will be plenty of pictures and updates for their humans! 📸❤️ I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether I’m in their home or mine. That means feeding them on schedule, keeping their space clean, giving plenty of attention and play, and following any special instructions from their humans. I also give lots of pets, cuddles, and reassurance so they feel happy and relaxed while you’re away 🐾

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs. I’m comfortable following routines, giving supplements, and providing walks, playtime, or a calm environment depending on each pet’s needs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule and make time for each pet based on their individual needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine. I work part-time on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10–5, so I’m available in the morning before work and evenings after work on those days. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow their usual routine, pay close attention to their needs, and make sure they’re comfortable and supervised throughout each visit. I’ll also keep your home clean and treat it with the same care I would my own.
“He was just so great with our dogs. I felt really insecure about leaving them for the first time since we moved cross country. Brandon gave me peace of mind and tons of pics with notes that let me know the dogs were perfectly content with their sitter. We’re already planning the next trip and have booked Brandon for a second time. If we ever need dog sitting, he’ll be our go to guy.”

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: Hi there! Caring for animals has been second nature to me for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I’ve lovingly looked after both my own pets and others’ for years. I welcome detailed instructions and will always follow your preferences to ensure your fur baby feels safe, happy, and at ease. I have experience with all breeds and temperaments, and I specialize in senior pet care. My own pup is 14 years old, so I understand the extra love, patience, and attention they need. I also know that some pets need a little time to warm up to new people, and that’s completely okay. I’m respectful of their pace. Before any drop-ins or vacation care, I highly recommend scheduling a meet-and-greet or a walk so your pet can get to know me in a familiar environment. This helps build trust and ensures a smoother experience for everyone involved. You’ll never feel out of the loop! I love sending regular updates and plenty of cute photos, because I know how important it is to stay connected when you’re away from your best friend. I’m here to give your pet the same level of love and attention I’d want for mine. Looking forward to meeting you both soon! I have no schedule on the weekends but I try my best to be flexible through the weekdays. I am solely here to help you get the care your pet needs while your working or even away for vacation. Within my home, my dog is free range due to being house trained. Your instructions will never be too detailed for me! I will follow your instructions to the tea. Just let me know what all you need for me to do :)
About: Hi! I’m Haley, and I’ve had a love for dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and for the past 2 years I’ve had the privilege of working as a professional dog groomer. Every day, I get to build trust with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to sweet seniors and even nervous or anxious pups.

I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! 🤍🐾 Pet care is my priority, and I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Because I work independently, I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits whenever possible.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. Since I provide care in your home, I do everything I can to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Phoneton on Rover is $31.63 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 509 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Phoneton. 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 Phoneton 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 Phoneton 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 Phoneton 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 Phoneton. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
