We couldn't be more grateful for Jessie! She took amazing care of our beloved shepherds and our home while we were on vacation. Before finding Jessie, my husband and I rarely traveled together—we're very particular about who we trust with our dogs and our home. Jessie exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we booked with her, communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pups were happy, relaxed, and in great hands. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing everything back home was being cared for so well. Jessie’s attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals completely won us over. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and are already looking forward to future travel plans now that we have someone we trust completely. Highly, highly recommend!

Issabella is one of the most caring pet sitters you will ever find. She takes care of our pets as though they were her own and the peace of mind that provides is priceless. We had a very sick kitty while we were away and she kept us up-to-date the whole time and I knew she was providing the best care possible. Very grateful to have Issabella and look forward to having her watch our animals again.

Emma was amazing. We have three dogs and she kept me updated on each and provided me updates regarding our home (there were a lot of storms in the area). She was flexible with times and was open to extending her support should we want to extend our vacation a bit. I will 100% book with her again!

About: I can take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My parents little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her. I've been taking care of my parents new puppy while they are away as well. I'm available at any time during the week including overnight hours. I'm currently unemployed and done with school. I'm typically able to go anywhere on short notice. I live in an apartment with my husband and it has a side door leading outside. The area is safe along with the neighborhood next door.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have a Great Pyrenees mix and Golden Retriever at home. In high school I helped train the golden retriever. This past year I have also been dog sitting an enthusiastic and energetic Australian Shepard. At my college house, I have also been helping train a one year old Golden Retriever puppy. I really enjoy running in my free time so I would be happy to run or walk your dog! I recently just graduated from Ball State University and am now in my first year of medical school. I currently have no other commitments outside of pet sitting and studying hard for school! I would care for your pet like my own! I would love to play with you pet if they are high energy or just chill and hang out with your pet inside if they just want company. I also love to be outside so I would be happy to go on walks or runs with your pet.

About: I began volunteering in an animal shelter with both cats and dogs when I was 8. I’ve continued ever since, and have been doing independent drop-in and overnight pet care for friends, family, and my community since I was 12. I prioritize maintaining care routines, animal enrichment, and ensuring that pups and cats and happy and safe. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in to say hello, or an overnight visit, I want to make sure pet parents know their animals are in loving hands. I’m currently a graduate student at Ball State, meaning I have plenty of availability in my schedule! I am consistently available before 12pm, and am also available evenings after 5pm. I will not be able to accommodate pets in my home due to my lease agreement, but I’m so excited to come to your pets!

Declan is a great communicator. He is so efficient and attentive. His attention to detail for our pets is phenomenal. Our Louie has separation anxiety and is a new rescue for us and Declan made us feel so comfortable leaving Louie in his capable hands. We were able to go away and know Declan had everything taken care of and he even went above and beyond what we expected. He gave Louie and Darla Jean the same care we would have. Highly recommend Declan for pet care. We feel so fortunate to have found him.

About: I grew up around untrained dogs, not afraid of any animal. I had two cats of my own and raised them from kittens so I’m great with cats!! I am nice and patient and have never been one for caging in animals unless it’s to travel to appointments, so your little loved ones will always be free to wander with me. I like to give them freedom to explore. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. I like to play a lot and encourage activities. I try to put on interactive games and toys are highly encouraged to bring! I do freelance work so if I’m pet sitting your baby will be the number one priority! Open space apartment, I like to be outside a lot so I will spend a majority of time allowing your pet to be free and safe if they’re an outside animal. We have local shops within a mile that allow cats so if you’re open, I can allow your pet to go for outdoor time.

About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!

About: Hello! I have been taking care of family and friends' pets of all ages, including dogs, cats, fish, and rodents since I was in elementary school. I love going on walks outside as well as playing with and loving on all kinds of animals. A friend had a hedgehog and I loved his spiky self! I have had dogs my whole life and currently have four rescued cats, one of whom I nursed from two weeks old after she was abandoned by her mother on the streets. Only two of the cats live with me in my current living situation, but they're all still in my heart! They just live with my partner in another state because I currently live with my mom and she said I could only have two with me. :/ Trust that if it was up to me, I'd have all four! I also live with my mom's 3 dogs, a German Shepherd, a Poodle/Bernese Mountain Dog/Golden Retriever mutt, and a lil 4lb baby that is scared of everything except the giant dogs she thinks she can fight with! Because of the big dogs I live with, I do know that I unfortunately cannot handle walking a large, strong dog that is not leash trained because they will absolutely drag me all the way down the street if they take off running. I won't let go, but they'll take me with them! If you have a low energy/senior larger dog, or have a fenced-in backyard and are okay with us having our active time in the backyard instead of going on walks, we can discuss the situation! If I say no, please do not be hurt or offended. It is for your pet's safety as well as my own! I am currently only working on Rover, so my days are pretty free! I spend most of my days hanging out with my own pets, junk journaling, going thrifting, stalking eBay for vintage clothing and home decor finds, reading nonfiction books, and watching way too many video essays on Youtube! I do not currently have the space to care for a client's pet in my own home (between my mom and I, there are already 3 dogs and 2 cats in one house!). I have years of experience house and pet sitting in others' homes, and always take care of their places even better than my own. If you would like me to grab the mail, check for packages, or do light maintenance housework (separate from your pets' needs) while I stay at your place for an overnight, just let me know and I'd be happy to discuss whether I am able to help!

About: Hello! My name is John my best friend is Shaggy, we welcome pets into our home! I work from home a lot so your pet is well cared for. I have a fenced yard and on nice days I open the patio doors so that they can go in and out as they please I know Shaggy loves that freedom to go outside any time and then come back in for shade, water and of course a nap. Overnight stay dogs get their own climatized room. Cats can protect the rest of the house (Doggie vacation from all the protection they know is their responsibility) We have a convenient location near BSU that's great for dog walks. 30 minute walks are available in my area at just .50 cents per minute and that includes waste removal, what a deal! Day care is awesome never again will your dog be bored at home alone. Tails are always wagging here! Book your stay or schedule a walk around the famous BSU duck pond for your fur babies. Rest assured they will be taken care of, I've loved dogs and cats for many, many years. I am currently semi-retired so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I always go outside with the pets so your pets are never left alone. I have a fenced yard attached to the backyard of my house with a privacy fence facing the road and a doggy portal so your doggy can see dog walkers at the roadside. (See photos)

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little. I’ve had both big and little dogs, with other small animals as well. Many neighbors, family members, and friends have trusted me to take care of their animals when needed. I am working part-time at Constant Clean for winter break with plenty of time to take care of animals! I am staying home for break so that you don’t have to worry about your pets. This past summer I worked for a cleaning service to take care of peoples homes. I am responsible with others belongings and handle them with care. While I am not taking care of pets then, I handle everything with the same attitude.

FAQs for House Sitting - Royerton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Royerton on Rover is $49.95 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 125 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Royerton. 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 Royerton 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 Royerton 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 Royerton 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.
