“Brittany did an excellent job staying with our dog through the weekend. I would definitely recommend her for overnight stays with your pets. She is very detail oriented and asks all the right questions! My house looks the same if not better than I left it. I will be using her again.”
“We just moved to Huntington and needed someone to stay with our anxious beagle, Buggs. Natalie was an absolute godsend. She came for a pre-stay meet and greet, and she had a wonderful rapport with him, She was in great commmunication with us while we were away and sent lots of upates. I can't say enough positive things about how professional and kind Natalie is. We would definitely use her again.”
“Alyxx is such a blessing and a natural with animals! Excellent communication from start to finish, we had no doubt they were being well cared for throughout the day! We loved the adorable pics and video!!! Alyxx is a truly wonderful and kind person, our fur babies were very happy and relaxed when we returned! We very highly recommend Alyxx and will book again any time we’re in the area!!! Very grateful!!!”
About: Since I was five years old when we adopted our family puppy, I have been involved in taking care of dogs. I have also over 350 hours of shelter volunteer experience in walking dogs, giving medications, and obedience training. Since I am hoping to be a vet one day, I am always wanting to meet new animals and give them the best care possible! I am currently a full-time student at Carleton and thus have classes and other extracurricular activities throughout the day. However, I have chunks of time throughout the day that could be devoted to pet care. If I am pet-sitting for you, your animal will be my priority! I do not have the capacity to care for your pet in my house, but I can provide whatever level of care you need in for your pet in your own home! If you need me to stay the night, I can do that. I am a detail-oriented person so whatever your pet needs I feel confident I can provide it.
About: Ever since I was a little girl I was surrounded by animals. My family had a German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix named Abbie. She was beautiful--and massive!! We've also had four cats: Emily, Jose, Astro (affectionately called "Mister") and Oliver (affectionately called "Beebs".... I don't know why). In my own home, I have 3 cats Kiwi, Ellie, and Piper, and a mini Aussie named Ava. My husbands family has four dogs and nine cats. My mother in law is also a frequent roadside rescuer of opossums, raccoons, and other babies in need of help. I'm very good at looking after, taking care of, and loving other people's animals. I'm looking forward to providing your fur baby with as much joy and laughter as they will bring to me! I work full time from home. I can bring my laptop to your house if you need me to house sit. Or I can pop over for a walk whenever you need me. I have a fenced in side yard where my pup plays. We have an acre of property out back. No fence but we have a 50ft lead we take the dogs out on if we’re playing back there. I can crate your dog if necessary no problems there!
“Chloe was fantastic. She took great care of my dogs and gave me a lot of updates. She did great taking care of my senior dog and her food and medication needs. She also played, entertained, and cuddled my high energy dog. She left my house clean as a nice bonus. I would definitely recommend.”
“I was very nervous to use a dog sitter but Regan was great! She was very sweet with our dogs, cat, and even checked on my reptiles. I will think of her in the future if I need help with my pets.”
About: I would love to meet your pups and make sure they have a wonderful experience. My dog is my life, and I will treat your furry baby’s the same way! I love all dogs of all shapes and sizes and enjoy taking them to the park and even for walks or giving them all the belly rubs that they could ask for. I have a large fully fenced back yard with tones of space to run and play. I will make sure to make them feel comfortable and safe. I look forward to meeting your furry babies!
About: I used to be a kennel technician who walked dogs, practiced training, while offering playtime for them and cleaning up their space. I’ve always loved caring for animals and wildlife and want to branch out on my own. I’m also a college student currently! I have a very flexible schedule right now, all that’s needed is to message me and see how our availabilities line up! I integrate your pets life into mine. I have a variety of treats and food on hand, but will follow whatever diet your dog needs. I also have the time for high energy dogs or dogs that need training through e-collars or etc. I also own lots of toys and a large crate, or litter box if need be. If you have any more specific questions please ask!
About: Unlike many kids today, I take time to care for your family member and I ensure all needs are met as you would want them. My schedule is flexible most days. Depending on your dog’s needs we can create a schedule that will work. Morning and evening feedings. Medicine care too. Together we can meet the needs of your pet on their schedule. Flexible to care in your home or mine. Walks are a good thing
About: I am the biggest animal lover! Everyone I know has relied on me to take care of their beloved fur-babies and you guys should too! I am new to Rover, but not new to animal care! I have had animals my whole life and pride myself in giving the best care. I currently am a high school social studies teacher. As an animal lover, however, I am very much looking forward to incorporating pet care into my daily schedule! I have had pets my whole life and can’t wait to meet your fur-babies! I live in an apartment with two cats—Princess and Lilly. I would be happy to provide in home boarding for your cats or drop in visits! My cats are a little indifferent on dogs, however, so it would take a meet and greet before deciding on boarding a dog! With that being said, I can do walks and drop ins before and after school and on weekends. I will be happy to help in whatever way I can!
About: I’ve taken care of my household dogs for 18 years. Sadly due to my father’s allergies I haven’t been able to have a cat. But have been around them in any chance I can get and have experience caring for them. I’m working part time but would love to make room for taking care of your pets. I also volunteer at St Mary’s but will do my best to fit your animal into my schedule. I can’t care for pets in my own home due to my family not wanting to be around pets at the moment. But I would love to branch out to other homes to care for your pets.
About: I have over 10 years experience pet sitting and taking care of my own pets. I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I LOVE animals of all kinds. I am reliable and trustworthy and would love the opportunity to care for your loved one. Currently I have open availability. I have reliable transportation and several references as well. I am also available for same day sitting for an extra fee. I would care for your fur babies as if they were my own. Playtime, exercise, and social interaction are very important to me. I am comfortable giving medication if needed as I used to be a vet tech years ago. Currently I do not offer pet sitting in my home.
“Alexis was a good sitter who took great care of our dogs and home while we were away. We are very appreciative that she was willing to drive an hour to come here. Would definitely choose her again!”
About: With 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a deep understanding and love for animals to every pet I care for. Whether it’s my own beloved pets or those of others, I’ve spent decades providing attentive, compassionate, and reliable care. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating your pets like family. I focus on creating a safe, loving environment while tailoring my care to meet their unique needs. You can trust that your furry friends will receive the same level of dedication and attention as my own. I do work full time, but my schedule is pretty flexible, as I set my own hours. My full time job is hybrid, remote three days a week and I travel two days a week. Those days are not set, but I prefer to travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I am a great communicator and will always provide ample notice if I am not available, and I am happy to work with you to my best ability. When it comes to pet sitting, I ensure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and at ease. I prefer pet sitting in the client home because this is where your pets are going to be the most comfortable. I prioritize maintaining their routines and creating a calm, familiar atmosphere. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime and snuggles, I follow your instructions to the letter, ensuring your pets feel cared for and content while you’re away. I also find it important to maintain a clean, comfy, and secure space. With my years of experience, I understand the importance of communication and will keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos, so you can rest easy knowing your pets are in loving hands. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention I would for my own pets, ensuring their happiness and well-being every step of the way.
About: I love all dogs and cats and reptiles and birds. You name the animal. I just want to take care of the baby the way you would. I work four days a week so I have plenty of time to stay with or visit your animals as needed, over nights are welcome!! I have a fenced yard and 4 friendly pups but I am also willing to come stay at your home with your pets, whatever is needed!
About: I have had dogs ever since I was little. Many times throughout my life I have taken care of my pets when my parents go out of town either on business of vacation and I love spending this one on one time with them. I currently have a labradoodle named Butler and his pup Wheezie. They are so energetic and love to play with one another. They love to sleep in the bed and enjoy snuggling as well. I am currently working in real estate full-time but most of my business is done from home. This also allows my schedule to be flexible for your benefit! There may be times where I will be gone if I have showings scheduled which will be done during the day, but these showings will depend on what is most convenient for my real estate clients. There is access to a large fenced-in area for all pets to roam and play. There can also be trips to the local dog park in Hurricane WV.
About: I’ve mostly worked as an RN but I’m currently a stay at home momma! I've always had a passion in helping others, but my second passion in life is caring for animals! What better side gig than to help care for some lovely pets. I do have experience through my nephew with service dogs. I attended his two-week training to learn how to handle the dog and commands. I've always had pets, particularly cats and dogs, with a few fishy exceptions. I've been trusted by many friends and family members as the go-to person for pet sitting. You can depend on me to be reliable and caring with your fur babies! Fortunately I’m able to work with most schedules. I’m able to be very flexible with my routine thankfully!! We go with the flow over here! I have a fenced in yard, a garage & plenty of house space. We do have one dog and one cat currently! They are spoiled & very used to being around other animals!

FAQs for House Sitting - Proctorville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Proctorville on Rover is $47.31 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 83 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Proctorville. 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 Proctorville 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 Proctorville 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 Proctorville 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
