“Meaghan was awesome! Very professional, asks lots of questions when she came for the meet and greet. She did exactly as I asked including walks and feeding and playing with our pups as well as our kitty. She sent pics and communicated well throughout the stay. We would absolutely hire her again!”
“Kirsten was, again, amazing with our pup and kitty. She was responsive and sent many pics while we were gone. We came home to two happy and relaxed boys. Thank you!”
“Gracie was a great pet sitter! She was responsive, responsible and took great care of our cat and dog. She was very communicative and provided pictures of our furry-faces often. We'd be happy to have her watch our house and pets again!”
“Ashley has done a great job for us in caring for our Bassett Hound in our home and we highly recommend her services! Our last trip was a week long and Henry was loved and walked just as we wanted and expected. Thank you Ashley for taking such good care of King Henry!”
About: I offer extensive, lifelong experience in animal care, developed while growing up on a working farm. This background instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility and a strong foundation in proper animal care. My hands-on experience spans a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and guinea pigs. I’m a college student but on break for the summer so I have a lot of time to work. Animals have been apart of my everyday routine for years so, I’m used to the responsibility pets take. Pets just like anyone else need a safe environment. Since I grew up in a pet friendly house I’ve been more aware of the hazards that can occur.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, behaviors, and energy levels my whole life—chihuahuas and shepherds, labs and hounds, aggressive and friendly, excessively dependent and independent. I grew up with four large rescue dogs with their own individual needs, problems, and behaviors, and my experience with them and the little jobs I’ve had have made me an extremely versatile pet caregiver! Whatever you or your pet need, I will do my absolute best to supply. I’m still in high school, but I have plenty of time before and after school all week! As well, I have plenty of free periods throughout the school day to come and go as needed. The family dogs have always been my responsibility, and likely will until I’m moved out of my parent’s house. Pet care is always part of my routine and I would love to be able to have your pets part of it too! **Dog walking is included with check-ins and house-sitting if requested! I will not charge extra if you need your pup(s) (or cats!) walked on top of other care needs.** As I said, I’m versatile in pet care and willing to do whatever is usual for your dog’s routine. However, as a standard: 1. Usually when I walk dogs, I let them lead—I’ll still maintain control, just let them go the direction they prefer, as long as it’s safe! I’m careful to avoid other dogs and people. I love taking dogs on wilderness trails and jogs especially! 2. For overnight stays, I encourage pets to sleep at least in the same room as me, so I can keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. 3. For housesitting, I always make sure to stay tidy and put things up where pets can’t reach them. 4. I do not yell at or hit dogs. When correcting behavior, I stick to positive reinforcement! 5. If a dog is anxious, upset, or injured, I make sure to maintain a calm and quiet environment and treat them as needed. 6. Whatever your rules are, I’ll follow! I want to make sure your pet(s) feel secure and safe during my time caring for them. 7. Any housesitting I do, I try to spend minimal time away from pets. They’ll be given constant attention!
“I was very happy and relieved to have Lou stay with my cat at my house for five nights. Lou has a thoughtful sunny personality that I immediately felt comfortable with. Will definitely be planning to have this lovely person part of my vacation sitting needs in the future!”
About: Message me and we can work something out cuz putting pricing on here can be confusing. Hello I'm stephanie I've had many types of pets of all different kinds, my whole life; from taking care of my cats with their litters, as well as "extra-curricular" animals I won't go into, unless you have an exotic pet lol, then definitely write me. I've also done in-home house sitting for cats, dogs, and various others. If you would like to talk to any of my past references, let me know if that would help you feel more comfortable. I've taken care of pregnant cats and dogs, I've also helped them birth there babies. I'm very patient and kind hearted, and I just love animals. I've also volunteered at pet rescues and have hands on training with taking care of sick, elderly, baby, wild cats and kittens. I also offer grooming such as baths and clippings for cats and small dogs. If given a list of things to do and how you want them done, I will be more than happy to fulfill those duties. Message me if you need someone to watch your "little family member" :) I have an open schedule right now and am available. For House sitting I operate from 11am till 930pm. If you just want me to check on them real quick or take them out to potty then drop ins are what you need to select. Message me and we can work out all the details. Also doggy day care I operate 10am to 11pm within that time frame only but as of right now I can only care for them 3 to 4 hours at a time just message me to work it all out I also have had dogs and cats inside when situations, or customers, require it. I can also set up multiple crates if needed or if they are trained for it.
“We cannot recommend Angelika highly enough! She took all of our stress out of leaving our dog for the week. My dog can sometimes be picky about the people he likes, and with Angelika he was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well taken care of. She checked in frequently, was commutative, accommodating and a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to ensure our dog’s routine was maintained, and we came home to a house that was spotless. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

Ashley has done a great job for us in caring for our Bassett Hound in our home and we highly recommend her services! Our last trip was a week long and Henry was loved and walked just as we wanted and expected. Thank you Ashley for taking such good care of King Henry!
Kirsten did great watching our 2 dogs while we were away for the weekend. They warmed up to her very quickly, which was a good sign. She texted with pictures every time she dropped in. We were very comfortable leaving them in her care, so we were able to enjoy ourselves. It's very difficult to find someone you trust with your pets, but it looks like we found the right person!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ronald
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 66 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ronald. 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 Ronald 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 Ronald 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 Ronald 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.
