Dominic was great at accommodating a last minute request as I was going out of town for a funeral. Did a great job taking care of my cat and giving her eye drops.

Tonie is great! We have some high-maintenance animals and she handled their care perfectly. So, so happy because we had a not so great pet care experience in the past with a different sitter, so we were nervous to try again. Tonie came over and met the animals, saw the house, asked all the right questions. We are very happy she was there to care for our dog and two cats! Also loved all the pictures we got!

About: I am a loving mother of 2 and I will care for your pets as if they were one of the kids. I have dog sit before and loved it. When I was younger I use to volunteer at the animal shelter with my great-grandma and that's the reason I love animals today. I have flexible hours and can work around your schedule, anything you need I can do from dog baths to walks at the park. We also adopted a cat a couple of years ago, and we just love him to pieces. We also just adopted a dog that we have previously sat for. I currently work at a nursing home, my boyfriend and I work opposite schedules so someone is always at home with your fur babies. Also with it being summer I have my two kiddos help out. I will make sure each animal has proper care including a clean safe cozy shelter, clean water, regular bathroom breaks, going on walks for at least half an hour, who knows it could be longer, and so much more!

About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! I also have an in house camera system for constant monitoring. Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy. I use flea prevention spray and traps between each client.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I could remember, I personally have a dog named Baxter that I have taken care of sense I was 14 years old. I have taken care of a newfoundland poodle mix named Arlo for the past two years as well. I am currently training in my off season as a professional hockey player. I have two months off and nothing but love to give for dogs. I am in need of a summer job and this would be the perfect fit! Pet/animal care and safety is my number one priority. I know from personal experience what it is like when someone does not care for your pet when paid and expected to. I no longer use boarders because of past traumatic experiences and because of opportunities like Rover.

We had an amazing experience with our Rover sitter! From the beginning, communication was excellent and we felt completely comfortable leaving our pets in their care. We received updates,and could tell our pets were happy, relaxed, and very well loved while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were being treated like family. We came home to happy pets and everything was perfect. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!

We had a great experience with Jordan. He was not intimidated by the energy of our two rambunctious boxers, and he gladly handled any behavior issues that arose while they were in his care. He took wonderful care of our home and did the things we asked like get the mail and take the trash to the road for pickup. Jordan was responsive whenever I checked in and he took the time to provide thorough updates. We highly recommend Jordan and hope to use his services again in the future!

About: Through and through Hoosier here. I am originally from Decatur, IN but relocated to the beautiful '07 of Fort Wayne! I went to college at IUFW for Medical Imaging and completed my Bachelor's degree. I am pursuing this opportunity to explore and familiarize myself more with the community - as well as all the amazing pups! I grew up with 3 dogs and a cat, so I am well versed in the fur baby community! I currently have a full time job Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday so I am looking to pick up some pet care work on Tuesdays and the weekends! I have a fenced in back yard as well and a large basement suited for caring for animals in an overnight manner. I do have a cat that lives in the house who will be on the second story.

We booked Eliot to watch out house/dogs while we were on spring break. We are so glad we found him! He was very communicative and sent updates while still being able to manage our three Aussies independently. He was so kind and calm and we could tell that our dogs felt at ease with him by how they acted when we returned from our extended trip.

About: Let me care for your loved ones while you are away, so you can rest at ease and enjoy your adventure with your family and friends. I love being on the move and having a variety of tasks. I love helping to build a strong community as well in this area. Pets are important family members, and I believe owners should know they are valued as such when they are away. Providing your house and/or your pets is the priority while you are away/or needing services. Let me provide you the peace of mind that your house and your pets will receive the highest quality of attention. I have lived in many countries, led international mission trips, and have cared for many owner's houses/pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Preble

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 218 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Preble. 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 Preble 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 Preble 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 Preble 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 Preble. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
