“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 left our precious Pomeranian with Leah for eight days, and felt confident that our pup was in good hands. We were not wrong. Leah was conscientious and reliable, getting to know our pup more each day, and they felt totally comfortable with each other after a short time. Leah was responsible and followed all of our directions to a T. She stayed in our home and took fantastic care of the house as well as the dog. We will continue to use her as our dog sitter and highly recommend her services.”
“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!”
About: I have owned dogs and cats my entire life! I volunteered for the Indianapolis Humane Society for 2 years where I gained experience walking dogs of all energy levels and sizes. I also have experience dog walking for my friends and family. I love all dogs and cats and I am excited to spend time with yours! I am currently home from college for the summer and I am not working, so I have a lot of time to care for your pets! I am available any day of the week or the weekend. My house has a fenced in yard and I do not currently own any dogs and cats, so your pet is more than welcome to stay at my house for the day. I am aware of near by emergency pet care facilities in case of emergency. I am very conscious of how I hold the leash when walking and I ensure that all doors and windows stay shut.
“Allison was fantastic with our dogs. From the minute I met her, I know she would be a great person to watch our dogs. Not only did our dogs love her, but she was great about communicating with us while we were gone. We'll definitely use Allison again!”
“Chloe was a repeat sitter and would 100% rebook. She constantly communicated about the dogs and what they were doing. I appreciate her attention to detail so much! I know Luna and Banjo love her too!”
“Gianna was great! She watched our dog and stayed at our house while we were out of town. Tons of photos and responded quickly to any questions. We will definitely reach out to Gianna again.”
“Emily watched our 4 babies: 2 dogs and 2 cats for 4 days while we went on vacation. She did everything we asked, and sent us so many updates and photos. We had never left them before, (and our oldest is almost 7). So to say I was anxious, is a huge understatement. She even got our extremely antisocial cat to interact with her, she’s the best.”
“Madison is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter! She took amazing care of Lincoln, Buster, and Cora during our week-long trip. The daily photo updates she sent were so wonderful to receive and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“We have a pretty anxious and at times, aggressive dog. Jacque is the first dog sitter we’ve ever hired and she gave us complete and total peace of mind. Could not recommend more!”
“Heather was brave enough to house sit our cane corso for us, knowing he was going to be scared of her and not likely to warm up to her. She was very patient with him. She said he did finally come take a treat from her but immediately ran away. This was probably the best experience we’ve had with him as he was able to go in and out on his, and he ate every meal after she would leave. We’re very grateful for her!”
About: Hey there! I’m a dedicated pet caregiver with 5+ years of professional experience offering pet sitting, dog walking, and drop in visits. I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m calm, patient, and loving pets usually warm up to me right away! I’m reliable, attentive to routines, and always follow instructions carefully to keep your pets safe and happy. I have a 17 year old cat of my own named Merv that I absolutely love. He’s a sweetheart and gets along well with others. I’ve had many dogs like 2 English bulldog’s, and a Black Lab. They all lived a happy life and passed of old age. I’m hoping to welcome another cat or dog soon. I take pride in providing compassionate, high quality care every visit. Your pets will be in great hands! 🐾💛 I do pet care full time, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and sitting throughout the week, with boarding available most days as well. I only accept one pet family at a time for boarding, so your pet will always have my full attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. It’s just me, my boyfriend, and my cat Merv at home, and I create a calm, loving environment. I’ve had two English Bulldogs and a Black Lab who lived long, happy lives, so I understand different needs and temperaments. I do not overbook and only care for one pet family at a time, ensuring a safe, low stress, and personalized experience. 🐾💛
“Overall, Kellsey was a great sitter for us! She was able to meet with us prior to her stay, my pets seemed to enjoy her, and she was able to sit over a holiday weekend without a ton of heads up. The only reason I’m knocking a star here is because she left our home much earlier than we agreed upon/I outlined in my Rover booking request, leaving my pets alone for many hours that day. This could have been a communication flub, but it’s something to think about. Thanks for caring for our pets well, Kellsey.”
“Kyla spent a week with our two dogs and did a great job! She was a great communicator and was very open about any previous commitments to ensure it would work with our needs. She sent updates and photos which were much appreciated and made us feel much more comfortable while we were away. The house looked great when we got home, maybe even better than before we left! Would highly recommend her for your sitting needs, and we would definitely be inclined to use her again.”
“Abby stayed in our home and cared for our two Doodles… she was amazing. Communication and response time was great. Sent pics of the pups, that was fun. Followed all our instructions, very responsible. Looking forward to her sitting for us again.”
“Sarah was wonderful with my pets, and was very responsive and helpful during my last minute trip! I came back to some very happy boys and she was sure to update me as I was away with pictures and messages about all three pets.”
“Anna did a great job with our 2 big dogs! She had a couple of sticky situations (one dog getting sick and the bedroom door knob falling off) and she handled them like a pro. Will absolutely rebook with her”
“Karissa did a wonderful job taking care of our two large dogs, especially our toddler Rottweiler, who is mischievous and full of energy. We came home to a clean house, happy puppies, and we are definitely using her again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Rocky Ripple is $45

Anna did an amazing job with my anxious pup. She was patient with him and gave him the space he needed, while still paying attention to him and taking care of him. She gave frequent updates and pictures which I loved to see on my phone. I appreciated her so much while she was staying with my dog!
Brittany has become a go-to house sitter for me. My dog loves her. Her schedule aligns really well with my remote working schedule so the pal is never alone for long periods. I can leave the house with complete peace of mind knowing she’s going to be here for both short and longer stays. Thank you Brittany!!!
Cecilia did an amazing job watching our dog and house while we were away on vacation. She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of everything. Our pup absolutely loved her! We would highly recommend Cecilia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Chloe was professional and kind throughout the process. She sent us pictures of our puppy daily and somehow managed to make our Goldendoodle look like she was smiling. Upon our return we found the home was clean and picked up just as we had left it. Would highly recommend
So grateful for Amy! I had the most dumpster fire level few days before leaving on a trip and had to change a lot of my cat’s processes last minute. She rolled with it all so well. I felt so relieved she was so on top of it and he clearly loved so spending time with her too. He was well taken care of and I’ve already booked her again for my next trip. She’s awesome!
Allison is FANTASTIC! She took excellent care of the “kids” and our home while we were out of the country for a week. They had so much fun with her I think they were sad we came home. We have a high anxiety pup and Allison was super patient with her and ensured her meds stayed on track and that she got all the extra attention she needed. Allison sent tons of great photos and videos to keep us up to date each day!
Hailey was flexible, dependable and communicative! From our first meeting it was clear that Theo would be in good hands! She administered medicine for him, took him for walks and even checked in when out smoke alarm battery was low to ensure the chirping sound wouldn’t bother him. Would absolutely book again!
Maddie is our go to sitter! We’ve used her 4 times and counting with 2 of those stays being 10+ days. Our pup loves when she watches him as he gets all the play time & snuggles. We never have to worry as we know he’s in great hands ☺️ I will always recommend Maddie for any of your pet needs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rocky Ripple
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rocky Ripple on Rover is $48.15 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 1,536 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
