“Evie did a wonderful job with my three dogs and one cat. They were treated well and they ate good. She left the house clean and my furbabies were happy. She sent us photos of our furbabies while we were on vacation. We left for a week and Evie spent the week in our home taking care of our furbabies. I couldn't be more pleased. I would recommend her furbabie sitting! Thanks Evie”
“Abbi was great with the animals (two dogs one cat) and also an excellent communicator. She left the house in great condition. Would definitely have her pet-sit again if she’s available ! Ty !”
“Mark is awesome. He came and met Eazy beforehand and made everyone comfortable. Received updates all weekend with pics and videos of them having a blast. Eazy had a great weekend outside playing with Mark and was looking for him long after we got home! He is the absolute best! Will be using him again for sure. Could not recommend Mark enough!!!!”
“Dawn is always very responsible, and you can rely on her even in unexpected situations. Honestly, she has helped me out more than once when I needed to extend my trip or deal with some unforeseen circumstances. I’m always informed about Miss Sophia’s condition and everything that’s happening at home. Dawn always leaves everything clean and tidy. I fully trust her and can travel with peace of mind, knowing that everything is under control.”
“Wonderful! They were so kind , respectful and followed my 2 pages of instructions well. Always updated me with many pictures and words on how copper was doing. I was very very scared to leave my dog and they put my mind at ease in more than one way ! Highly recommend.”
“Bobbie was WONDERFUL. We were nervous to leave our puppy for the first time, Bobbie really put us at ease. She’s kind, professional, and very attentive. We came home to a house that was just as clean as we left it, and a puppy who was well taken care of. We received regular updates while we were gone with photos, which was joyful. We will definitely be using Bobbie again!”
“Hannah went above and beyond to make sure our fur babies and house were loved and well taken care of. She sent us pictures with updates and did a generally amazing job taking care of our dogs and home. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for professional care taker.”

“Jess was an AWESOME day sitter. Communication was top notch, and they provided us with lots of pictures and videos. We knew our pup was safe and well loved all day. Will be booking again!”
“Jennifer is fantastic at her job as a pet sitter and in my opinion went above and beyond what was asked of her. She never let me down on daily updates with photos of my fur kids. We had an awful experience with the first ever sitter through friends of family. But with Jennifer's picture updates and quirky observations of my goofballs, I have never felt so comfortable as I did with her. We will be furever loyal and she's our #1 gal”
“Megan wonderfully with our older dog Fiona, she was very good with communicating with me when we were on our trip! We received pictures and videos so we could still see our old girl while we were away. When there was an issue she was quick to let us know and reassured us that Fiona was OK (my poor pup has a nervous belly).”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Sydney. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with—someone we instantly felt we could trust. She was reliable every step of the way, and our two cats absolutely adored her. Sydney went above and beyond by sending us frequent photo updates, which not only showed how happy and relaxed our cats were, but also gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Thanks to her attentive care, we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were in the best hands. Highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and truly caring sitter!”
“Hallejia was an amazing dog sitter. She and Willow got along great. I attribute that to her coming and meeting Willow ahead of time and taking her time to get to know her. Hallejia is very attentive, caring and kind. I loved her the moment I met her which made me feel comfortable leaving Willow. She familiarized herself with Willow’s routine and habits. And Halleija is so flexible. I had to change some things at the last minute and she was so accommodating. I will definitely be reaching out to her again to sit for Willow!”
“Jess made our trip out of state possible. We were gone for 8 days, 7 nights. The longest we have stayed away from our three dogs and one senior cat. We have one dog on medications, and she handled that with no problems. Having them comfortable in their own home instead of crating elsewhere was the only way we could have left them. And I know it made them feel at ease when she stayed. That truly made a world of difference. We're so thankful to have found a person who cares for them like we do. We came back to happy fur babies and a clean home. Great feeling, great experience. Definitely recommended Jess, as pet parent who has booked twice now and will book again!”

Vivien was wonderful! She came over to meet with us before we went out of town and asked questions and took notes. Communication was great! She updated us every day and would send pictures for us to see. This is the first time we have used a pet sitter, and we are so glad we found Vivien to stay overnight with our senior dog; he was very well taken care of. Thank you so much!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rossford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rossford on Rover is $33.3 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 339 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rossford. 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 Rossford 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 Rossford 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 Rossford 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 Rossford. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
