“Mariah was awesome! She sent me pictures of my pups daily. I felt so confident they were in good hands! She left my house clean. Like she was not even there. Thanks so much Mariah!!”
“Kennedy was awesome. She was there for us when we had to book last minute because the person who was supposed to watch our dog bailed unexpectedly. She was receptive, considerate, kind, and communicative. I should mention that our baby is an English Bulldog. Kennedy understands the different needs of brachiocephalic breeds. And she was able to go that extra mile for us to properly care for our fur baby!”
“Absolutely amazing! Nikki surpassed every hope I had for a dog sitter. My dog Charlie was absolutely the happiest dog. She sent pictures and videos and he was so well taken care of. I will would recommend her to absolutely everyone”
“Heather has watched my doggie and cat 2x. They are great, sends me lots of pictures and updates. Keeps the house super clean. Simply the best.”
“Mike was absolutely wonderful. He watched our pups in our home and I felt safe and stress free. My dogs were in such great care. They loved him... maybe a little too much! I would definitely book with him again.”
“Abby was wonderful! Both of my dogs were exceptionally cared for. She kept me up-to-date while she was house sitting. She exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend Abby for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I have two dogs of my own. One is a puppy and one is an older dog so I understand all needs for every age range. Have been pet sitting for a couple years in my community I am currently working part time and will be able to give your pets the time and attention they need. My schedule is very flexible. Your pets safety and comfort is my priority. I am willing to walk your pets and stay to their schedule. I can also keep you updated with photos of your pets while away for your peace of mind.
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have been caring for them from a young age. I started dog sitting as a young teen for my aunt and now regularly care for a family friend’s Mastiff for about two weeks each year, so I’m no stranger to big dogs, drool, and extra-large cuddles. At home, my family shares responsibility for our Pit Bull, giving me hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and affection. I truly love being around dogs and look forward to having a home full of happy pups after I finish college. As a full time student, I’m able to dedicate my weekends to giving your pup plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m also happy to help with check-ins or walks during the week when our schedules align. I’m very flexible, and caring for dogs never feels like a chore to me, it’s something I truly enjoy and am always glad to fit into my routine when I can. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and house rules. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also keeping their space clean and safe. I always keep owners updated so they can feel at ease while they’re away.
“Jessica showed up for my pets when a sitter from here ghosted us at the very last minute. Even though our booking was last minute, we were able to have a meet and greet (literally came to our house within an hour of us being to chat!) so I am extremely grateful! She took really good care of my fur babies and was respectful of our space! Thank you so much! 🥰”
“I am very happy I chose Mamie to dogsit my Rosie for my week long vacation. She sent regular updates about Rosie’s mood, activities and cute little anecdotes, as well as lots of pictures. Besides the updates Mamie was quick to reply to messages and was even so kind as to pick up a refill that Rosie needed. I would definitely rebook her :)”
“Took great care of my fur baby while we were away! Thank you so much for all the help! Would highly recommend and will absolutely rebook in the future when the need arises. Thank you!”
“Valerie was fantastic. This was the first time our 6 year stayed with a sitter. Valerie was very accommodating to the steps we took to manage our poodle’s separation anxiety. She provided thoughtful check-ins and photos. Grateful for the chance to work with her!”
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”
“Cam went above and beyond to comfort our dog during 4th of July fireworks! Our dog was well taken care of, and clearly felt comfortable with Cam.”
“Sydney was great with our husky and pug! Our pug is diabetic, blind and elderly and Sydney was fine with giving her insulin. They were both well cared for. We will definitely seek out her services when we need a sitter in the future!”
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life between cats and dogs. I’m currently a cat mama to a Maine Coone. I absolutely adore animals and have had much experience house sitting/walking/day trips in the past. I am a social worker full time, however my schedule is flexible as I travel and see patients in their homes. I can work my schedule around the pets needs. I have many past references for pet care if needed. I am responsible, timely, and professional and can be trusted 100% with your loved one’s care.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ross Township is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ross Township
This is the third time we have had Faux watch our dog, Geo and the longest stay yet (1 week). Our dog is like our child and I was so nervous to trust anyone other than a family member to watch him while we are gone— however, Faux is communicative, obviously loves and cares greatly for animals, and leaves my mind at ease. Geo seems to feel safe and happy with them which is the best outcome I could hope for! I would recommend Faux without hesitation and am so happy we found someone going forward!
Wonderful experience with Ashley! Sasha was well-fed, walked, and played with, and our cats, Midnight and Jaguar, were perfectly cared for. It was a huge relief knowing Ashley was there to handle Midnight’s daily medications without any issues. It is a massive weight off our shoulders to find someone so responsible and attentive. We would highly recommend Ashley to anyone in the area!
Mike did an amazing job dog sitting while we were on vacation. He even navigated a few unexpected challenges with our house including the smoke alarm going off and needing to reset the hot water heater. He was so thoughtful about our two small dogs, making sure, that in addition to walks, they had some sunbathing time in the backyard. He took such great care of them and that allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We highly recommend Mike!
Nikki is wonderful!! She goes above and beyond and treats our animals and home like her own. She is excellent communicating and sends lots of pictures :) I would highly recommend her to anyone. Our one cat is diabetic and requires daily insulin shots, and she handles it amazingly.
The best! Shaina watched our cat and dog while we were on a trip and was amazing as usual. We received so many pictures and videos of them having such a nice time. Our dog gets separation anxiety and he seemed to warm up to her in a couple days so he quickly realized how wonderful she is too. She also helped with extra some house things while we were gone! I cannot say enough great things. We’re lucky to know our boys are in such good hands while we’re away. Thank you for everything Shaina!! 😊
We had such a wonderful experience with Kiara! She took amazing care of both of our pets—our cat Herbie and our dog Rusty—over the weekend, and we couldn’t be happier. She made sure Rusty got plenty of walks and attention, and it was clear from all the photos she sent that both of our pets were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We really appreciated the constant updates—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Having someone stay in our home can feel like a big step, but she made it incredibly easy for us to trust her. She was respectful, communicative, and clearly very experienced with animals. The best part was coming home to a very happy Rusty and a calm, content Herbie—it’s obvious they were in great hands the entire time. We would absolutely love to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter! :)
Victoria was so helpful!! She sent so many updates and was extremely honest about her updates. Our kitties are extremely anxious to strangers and usually take some time to start to eat around them. She was so patient with our kitties and made them feel safe enough to eat around her! She was super adaptable to any new info we gave (tips and tricks to manage our kitties) and she didn’t mind it at all. I felt comfortable being able to ask her questions as well if I needed to and suggest things (which she took initiative immediately!) I’m so happy to have chosen her and will definitely choose her again in the future:)! Thanks again Victoria :)
Abby was really great and my first time using Rover in Home! It was the super last-minute booking and she came to the rescue. She came in and cared for baby girl who had just had surgery on Monday while I was away at my Christmas event.! definitely would recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ross Township
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ross Township on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,443 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ross Township. 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 Ross Township 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 Ross Township 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 Ross Township 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.
