Briana did a great job house sitting for us and taking care of our cat, puppy and older dog. She even came the day before so I could go over details with her. Would definitely recommend her to others!

Kaitlin did a wonderful job with our dog. I was nervous as this is the first time we’ve used her and she exceeded our expectations! She helped work on his behavior issues and kept me updated on how he was doing. I will be definitely using her anytime we go out of town!

About: What sets me apart is the amount of genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I treat them like family while they’re with me. I previously owned a husky, so I’m familiar with caring for high-energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and lots of engagement. I’m also very attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, young, or older. I always aim to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for both pets and their owners. Hi! I’m an animal lover and expecting my first baby girl in June, so I’m looking for a reliable and flexible way to earn income while spending precious time with my little one. I’ve always loved being around dogs and would love to help with walking, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’m dependable, caring, patient, and will treat your pets like family 🤍 I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates/photos for peace of mind.

Maura was amazing with our dogs! She was very prompt in answering messages and went above and beyond to make sure our 3 dogs were taken care of while we went on a mini vacation. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!

Tatum was a phenomenal cat sitter for our sweet kitten! She sent frequent updates, obviously played with him lots and brought over more toys, snuggled with him, and went above and beyond to make sure he had as much companionship as possible. We are thrilled we connected with her and hope we can have her watch Gus again!

About: Hi! My name is Katie, and I work full-time as a veterinary assistant. Caring for animals is both my career and my passion. Through my experience in veterinary medicine, I am comfortable working with pets of all ages, including seniors, puppies and kittens, and pets with special needs. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, and helping anxious or nervous pets feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime and exercise, medication administration, or extra patience and attention while you’re away, I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I work full-time on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On those days, I am available for pet care visits before 7:00 AM and after 6:00 PM. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help reduce stress while their owners are away. I ensure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort based on each pet’s personality and needs. With my veterinary assistant experience, I am comfortable providing additional care such as administering oral medications, monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health, and giving extra support to senior or anxious pets. I also offer services including dog walking, nail trims, and bathing when needed. My goal is always to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind with reliable updates and communication throughout each visit.

About: Experience with dogs of different sizes as well as with cats. I used to have 5 dogs at once. All with different needs. Very flexible and will acclimate to whatever your pet needs! Very flexible with whatever you and your pet need. I WFH throughout the week and can work from wherever. Or I can just go check on your pet after work or for a walk. On a recent health journey and would love extra motivation to be more active outdoors! I’m very conscious about ensuring pets are well leashed and not left alone (especially outside). Will make sure they get their food (and treats, if allowed) as well as all the necessary pets!

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: I’ve loved and taken care of animals for as long as I remember! My parents used to call me the animal whisperer and I used to take care of all the neighborhood animals while their families were away growing up. I am constantly around animals and taking care of them. I’m comfortable around any sort of pet and i’m willing to learn how to best take care of your animal! I love walks, hikes, or taking a trip to a dog park of some sort! I’ve always grown up around animals and I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats, one cat needing special attention for her medications, so i’m prepared for any special treatment! I’m currently in nursing school whilst also bartending a couple nights during the week but I have plenty of free time and I’m very flexible! I have 3 very playful dogs and 2 mellow cats, one needing special care for her medications so I’m always vigilant to any kind of specific care that your animals may need. I’d love to spend more time outside this summer but I also love a couch potato!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, other than my own dogs I have been a pet sitter for friends / family for 5+ years. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve had multiple litters of puppies and breeds all the way from chihuahuas to great danes ! I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of free time on my hands ! I can work with any schedule that fits you best ! I have five dogs myself! We have 7 acres we let them run free on, but if we do go in public they are always on leashes. I can 100% trust them but you never know with other animals so just a safety hazard ! I’ve cared for dogs with fenced in yards and without so I’m fine with either !

About: I have had my dog since I was 8 yrs old I am 18 now and I’ve trained her to do almost anything. I am very patient with animals I let them get used to me and comfortable before I do anything. I now have 2 dogs both smaller. I cared for a large dog for a year he was over 100 pounds. super sweet and loving he was my best friend. Unfortunately I had to move and I couldn’t bring him with me I miss him very much, so I am a big fan of larger dogs. I am currently working 2 jobs 1 every weekend Friday-Sunday. The other job is part time on either Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. My work schedule isn’t set permanently so I get most weekdays off. I am currently living with roommates so I will have to come to your residence, but that is not a problem for me especially since the pet will already be comfortable with the environment. When I meet a new pet I am very patient with them I will let them come to me to be sure they are okay with me being in their territory.

She did an awesome job house sitting our 2 doggies. One of them is deaf and fairly high-energy so we showed her the signs we use to communicate with her and she did great. They both got lots of play time, attention, walks and were happy puppies when we got home. She kept us up-to-date with plenty of pictures and videos and she was very attentive to their health (one of our pups can get allergies so she was watching out for that). Would definitely book her again.

About: Ever since I was a child, I was responsible for the care of a variety of animals, and I mean solely responsible. Growing up (and today), I was the one that friends and family came to for pet sitters and care/training advice. I prioritize following pet care instructions to a tee- I do not cut corners on even the most “meticulous” of care instructions. With me, you can trust that your fur babies will receive the highest quality of care and attention because of my intrinsic love for animals. My days vary a lot, but I am often able to make time if you give me a week’s notice. If you need urgent pet care, do not hesitate to reach out. I cannot promise that I will 100% be available, but I will make the time if I have it. Honestly, I prefer to play by the owner’s rules when caring for their pets. Besides that, I refuse to take anything but a gentle approach with the pets. I am very careful to only administer treats/toys as the owner instructs.

About: I've grown up having pets my entire life. Mainly dogs, cats, and small pets. I'm not experienced with reptiles, but I will make sure to properly research your pet to make sure they're properly cared for! I've also pet sit for friends and family as well. I know how special each pet is to their family. It would be a pleasure to care for yours! I do have a second shift job, therefore I won't be available after 5 pm most days. If you schedule a few days before, I'll try to make it work unless communicated otherwise! My friends and family like to call me the animal whisperer. I'm very good at sensing animals emotions and acting accordingly. Many will tell you exactly what they need if you pay attention to them! And I will ensure your home stays just as clean as it was when you left. Depending on certain circumstances, maybe even cleaner!

About: As an experienced dog/house sitter who has rescued/fostered numerous dogs in the past 18 years and also a volunteer at my local animal shelter, I treat your family members as my own while they are in my care. I understand leaving your animals with someone can be very stressful not only for you but your furry family members. I don't mind staying in your home as I know some animals are more comfortable and less stressed in their own environment. I am a full time remote worker since 2020. I am very much a homebody who enjoys watching true crime shows, reading and doing puzzles. I like to get to know the owners and pets and stick to their normal routine as to not cause more stress for the animals while their owners are away.

About: I've cared for many pets during my life including exotics, cats, dogs, and birds in all age groups from babies to seniors. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I am currently retired with my husband. We eschool our twin boys during the day. I can pop out to do pet care and have a flexible schedule. We do travel a lot during school breaks and in the summer. I am eager to help out with home visits or walks. I enjoy all kinds of pets and don't shy away from those who need special care. Typically I visit dogs in their homes three times per day at whatever schedule works best for the pet and me. Some may need more or less visits and I can be flexible. I do not care for dogs or cats in my home. My two cats don't like other pets, unless it's a pet that lives in a small crate or cage, such as a guinea pig.

Kaitlin Thank you so much for taking care of our two fur babies, Zoey and Maddie, for two nights. We truly appreciate the wonderful care and attention you gave them, and we loved the pictures you sent while we were away—it gave us such peace of mind. Coming home to a clean house was such a thoughtful touch and made everything even better. Thank you again for your kindness and for treating our pets like your own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Piqua

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Piqua on Rover is $43.29 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 405 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Piqua. 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 Piqua 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 Piqua 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 Piqua 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 Piqua. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
