“Brady went above and beyond taking care of our dogs through a medical situation. He was very communicative and responded promptly to any requests! He also didn't hesitate to include our bonus animals (aquariums/caged) in his care.”
“Very happy we went with Abby! Sent a lot of pictures, really took care of our dogs and cat as well as things like bringing in packages! Highly responsive, considerate and easy to communicate with - 5/5!”
“Madeline was fantastic with the 5 pups. Highly recommend her services. She went above and beyond to ensure that the pups were fed and loved while we were away with an especially rough week losing both in laws and an aunt in the same week. Can't compliment her enough.”
“Zoe was an exceptional dog sitter in my home for my 2 pups and I would absolutely recommend her and hire her again. The dogs seemed to immediately trust her when they first met and that tells me a lot about their comfort level and her energy with them. Zoe was consistent with communication, reliable, took care of all the pups needs and was extra helpful doing a few minor house management items (like bringing trash cans back in from three curb and watering some flowers) while I was away. Zoe is personable, kind, and trustworthy. Definitely recommend her for your animal care needs.”
“Alix watched my cat and dog for the second time for a week-long trip out of state. They both love spending time with her which I can see through the updates and pictures I receive throughout the day. Alix is communicative, takes direction, and left my home in good shape upon my return.”
“Zoe was incredible. Our house was clean when we came back home, and she handled all the animal care flawlessly. She checked in multiple times a day and went above and beyond making all our critters comfortable, even amidst a minor medical issue with our dog. We’ll be booking Zoe for all our trips in the future.”
“Overall, Kellsey did great with caring for my dogs! My girls can “pout” a bit while I am away and she made sure that she messaged me to ensure that they were ok and that it was normal. She was able to meet my girls before my trip so that I knew they got along well!”
About: I was a devoted pet parent for 12 years, caring for my yorkies Maggie & Molly from the time they were one through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, maintaining routines, and administering insulin injections when needed. While I’m new to providing pet care professionally, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I’d want for my own 🐾 I work Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm. I’m in the office every Tuesday & Wednesday and every other Monday. I work from home on Thursdays & Fridays. I can provide pet care both before and after work, with extra flexibility on my work-from-home days ☺️ I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and safe, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away 🐾❤️
“Brittany was absolutely amazing! She stepped in for us at the last minute to stay at our house and take care of Eva for the weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and took such great care of Eva. It gave us a ton of peace of mind knowing she was comfortable at home and in good hands while we were away. Brittany also took great care of our house, which we really appreciated. We’re so thankful she was able to help us out on short notice and will absolutely be reaching out to her again. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pup and your home, we highly recommend her! 🐾❤️”
About: I have a day job typically from 8-4. I am flexible with being out in the community everyday. I grew up with dogs, even a deaf dog. I love all kinds of dogs and cats. I currently have two cats of my own. Depending on the time of sit, I can walk them. There will be times they may be alone for a period of time- such as the afternoon. I do like to know ahead of time but if something happens last minute I totally understand, life is like that. I will do my best to keep you informed. i have a typical 8-4 job. I am out in the community the noblesville, Carmel and Westfield throughout the week. I am flexible with schedules. I do not have my home open for other cats/dogs. I will not take in any cats/dog/s. All sits will stay at clients house no matter what.
“Sage was fantastic, they cleaned up after themselves, was a great communicator, was super patient with my anxious pup. Couldn’t ask for someone better, will definitely be asking them back!”
“Will was great with our dogs! He great with up front communication, sent us pictures every day when we were gone and took such good care of them. We will use Will again for sure!”
“Amazing sitter and highly recommend!! Super relatable, chill, and loving with our pets. We really appreciate Daniel keeping us updated and even going as far as washing our sheets during his stay. So so nice, Thnks!! We can tell our babies has such an amazing time with you! Will definitely be booking again when we go out of town!”
“Megan was wonderful! She took great care of my dogs (one is a 10 month old puppy) for an evening while we were away. She is communicative, reliable and professional. I will definitely use her services again!”
About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!
“Kyan did such a good job taking care of our dog and cats while we were out of town. They were very respectful of the house, and made sure to let us know that Wynnie was itching a lot too. Definitely helped us identify that there needed to be a change in her shampoo to help with some dry skin. We will definitely use Kyan again.”
“Olivia did an amazing job watching our dog! She was very easy to communicate with and sent lots of adorable pictures. Our little guy was very well taken care of. We would recommend Olivia to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet!”

Courtney was great! She was able to accommodate my dog’s unique needs and stick to his routine, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was also respectful of my home and left everything just as she found it. I really appreciated her care and consideration and would happily recommend her!
Once again, our babies had the BEST time with Jacque!!! She took such great care of them and also took them on walks/adventures to the dog park which they absolutely loved! They did t even cry or get excited when we got home which is a huge testament to how well they were cared for while we were away. ♥️ In addition Jacque helped ease my husbands anxiety about leaving his bonsai plants which she took great care of in his absence. Jacque went above and beyond and I would gladly welcome into our home again and again when we need help with our girls. She is extremely trustworthy and communicative, and he love of dogs is evident. I couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you again Jacque! Until next time! I know l Max and Lucy will miss you!!
Lauren was absolutely fantastic! She watched our 4-year-old Rottweiler, Brutus, and our 8-year-old Black Lab mix, Knox, for eight days while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, Lauren was great with communication and took the time to do a meet-and-greet before our trip. She was immediately comfortable with our large dogs, which gave us a lot of confidence. She also asked really thoughtful and proactive questions about their care, including which vet we use and other important details. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure she understood our dogs and their needs. While we were away, Lauren sent regular updates and pictures. She found the perfect balance, enough updates that we knew the dogs were happy and doing well, without so many that we felt overwhelmed. It gave us so much peace of mind being able to see that Brutus and Knox were comfortable and well cared for. She was also extremely respectful of our home and left everything in great shape. Overall, Lauren was responsible, caring, communicative, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone, especially anyone with larger dogs!
I had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter McKenna! She stayed at our house for 10 days and took excellent care of my dog, Nova. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands while I was away. McKenna was responsible, caring, and respectful of my home. When I returned, the house was clean and everything was in great shape, with absolutely no issues. I would definitely recommend McKenna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter. I’ll happily have her take care of Nova again! 🐾❤️
Yulia has such a kind spirit that clearly put my senior dog at ease. She was patient and flexible - even working a solution when my flight was delayed coming home. It's tough to find people who are willing to work through the extra steps and challenges of a senior dog - frequent trips outside, help up the stairs, medicines, inconsistent appetite - and Yulia handled it all with such kindness and care. Thank you!
Heather was awesome with our lab, Matilda. We felt totally comfortable with her and this made our overnight more enjoyable. Heather was patient with Matilda and went the extra mile when Tilds was being stubborn. We will definitely book Heather again and recommend her highly.
Sofia was so fantastic in communicating before and during Michigan’s sitting. Felt totally comfortable leaving Michigan with her and giving her total access to my house while away. She even took pictures to check in during the sitting. I highly recommend Sofia to other pet parents. 10/10

The average cost of House Sitting in Ravenswood is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $78 per night.

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 Ravenswood 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 Ravenswood 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 Ravenswood 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
