“Amy stayed with my fur babies during Christmas. I really appreciate her availability and it helps my peace of mind knowing my cats are getting comfortable with a consistent and loving caregiver. I will certainly use her for future bookings. She provides daily updates and photos of my babies as they sun themselves and during feedings.”
“I can’t recommend Gabriela enough! She helped me out on very short notice, and I’m so grateful she was available. My dog can be a handful—he’s big (around 100 pounds) and very affectionate—but she handled him with so much patience and confidence. It’s clear she really understands dogs, especially larger breeds, and knows how to manage their energy while still giving them the love and attention they need. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely great with dogs, Gabriela is the one!”
“Emily is a great communicator and always lets me know when she arrives, feeds the animals and updates each day. She shares photos and is courteous and takes great care of the house. .”
“Allison is amazing! She is definitely our go to for taking care of our pups when we’re out of town. She took our puppy to the vet twice and was so helpful!! Thanks as always, Allison!”
“Heather was amazing with Rip & Diesel. I couldn’t ask for a better house / dog sitter. It was a last minute booking and Heather came through for me. I will rebook for sure with Heather.”
“Basma was very good with both my dogs and kitten, I was sent a lot of photo updates. She was very nice about one of my dogs having an upset stomach which gave her more work. I would definitely hire her again.”
“We came home to a very happy dog! This was our first time using a house sitter instead of a kennel. We always had a very anxious, depressed dog when we picked him up from a kennel. Ellen took great care of Cooper and our house. She sent us pictures and updates about how Cooper was doing while we were gone so we weren’t anxious and depressed about leaving our baby! We are very pleased with our experience with Ellen. Thank you.”
“10/10 recommend Karin! She took wonderful care of my car and dog while I was out of town for two weeks. It made me nervous to leave them for so long, but Karin quickly showed how much love and affection they’d get while she was there!”
“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.”
“We were so lucky to come across Gianna. My cats and dogs just loved her. Gianna pet/house sat for us for a week. She was very responsible taking care of the pets needs as well as the house. From the moment we met Gianna, my pets adored her! She is definitely an animal lover. We hope to use Gianna again when we need pet sitting services. Highly recommended!”
“Kyla is wonderful! We would definitely have her stay with our pups again and highly recommend her! She was very responsive from the get go. When scheduling the initial meet and greet, she was very accommodating/understanding. She was prompt and had all the right questions when she met the pups. We could tell she was going to be very considerate with them, which is what put at ease! Throughout her stay, she kept us updated on everything going on at home, which allowed us to truly enjoy our trip without worrying about our pups. She was so patient with our dogs and their quirks and let them warm up to her on their terms! She was a great houseguest too! Thank you truly, Kyla!”
“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!”
“With the meet and greet we could see that William knows how to relate to dogs. He suggested that he wanted to rollerblade with Bella because she has so much energy. I can tell when we arrived home that she was well taken care of because she was relaxed and acted like we weren’t even gone. It is nice to know we have found someone who we can trust with our Bella and our home. We have booked William again.”
About: I specialize in caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. I administer medications, provide puppy training, and ensure happy moments—whether cuddling or hiking in the park! I work part-time, allowing me to integrate pet care seamlessly into my routine. I happily check in during my lunch break, just as I’d want for my pets! In your home or mine, I prioritize comfort and safety. I gather all necessary information beforehand and ensure pets feel secure, adapting to their needs in any setting.
“Courtney was great with the dogs and our anxious boy took to her well. She only stayed one night but made our return home very pleasant because she also did some unexpected cleaning-my favorite thing to come home to after a trip. She was very responsive. Would definitely recommend and will be using her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and parrots since I’ve been old enough to walk. I grew up with a plethora of different breeds and personalities of animals and have been able to connect with all of them. I currently work full-time in downtown Indianapolis, Monday-Thursday from 8 am-5:30 pm, so my availability would be outside of those hours for those days. Friday-Sunday, I have open availability. I have two cats of my own who are indoor-only. I am not able to bring outside cats or dogs into my own home.

Taylor did a great job handling Zeus. He seemed to be very comfortable and happy in her presence while I was gone. Taylor kept me informed with pictures and updates. I had to book on short notice and she was very accommodating to all my requests. Would definitely book again.
Abigail was so great! We came in town for a family wedding and she watched Maggie on Friday night and then again on Saturday for 8 hours. Maggie has terrible separation anxiety so she can not be left at home alone for more than a hour. Abigail was so sweet about this and kept her company on both days playing with her and feeding her and never leaving her :) She followed all of our instructions and took great care of our pup. She is also very communicative and arrived on time both days.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rocky Ripple
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rocky Ripple on Rover is $49.05 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,463 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rocky Ripple. 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 Rocky Ripple 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 Rocky Ripple 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 Rocky Ripple 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 Rocky Ripple. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
