“Carol was patient and caring, sitting for our cat while we were away. Cats usually don't require much attention, especially ours. He feels more secure when someone is present rather than left alone, and his behavior shows this. Carol kindly and patiently adjusted to our wishes by spending time at our home to care for him. We very much appreciated her help while we were away.”
“I can’t recommend Austin enough! He sent regular updates, communicated clearly, and was really tuned in to how Bear was feeling. I felt totally at ease knowing Bear was in such thoughtful hands. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup—and I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Janine was great taking care of Camden while we were away. She sent us updates every day with plenty of pictures and Camden had so much fun. We appreciate everything she did to make Camden’s time so much fun and we would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and dependable dog sitter or walker. She’s fantastic!”
“Elizabeth watched our pets, 2 dogs and 1 cat, for 4 nights in our home. She was fantastic! Everyone was happy when we got home and she left the house tidy. Our cat, who sleeps with our son regularly and doesn’t sleep with me even when my son is gone, slept with Elizabeth in my room! He’s a little selective about people so I’m impressed that she won him over.”
“Jenna does a great job taking care of our 2 dogs & our cat. She is responsible, & respectable with our requests in taking care of all the details for our babies! And she leaves the house as if she wasn’t even here, everything is how we left it & clean”
“Excellent, excellent, excellent. Our dogs adore Miss Elly, and our home is always tidy and clean when we get back! We feel so safe traveling knowing that our babies are being well looked after!”
“Thank you, Hannah and Matthew. I appreciate Hannah taking good care of Hank on our trip. His feeding schedule is more complicated than most so we appreciate the care taken to keep his pancreatitis in check. Wishing you two a good Labor day.”
About: Growing up always having dogs and cats, lizards, fish and even a tarantula, I am no stranger to pet care. I have previously worked at a vet clinic as a kennel technician, gaining lots of knowledge of pet care there along with learning a lot about pet health. I also used to work at a dog boarding facility that ran a tight schedule, so I am used to following the schedule needs of every pet. As I am now back in school, I would love to take care of your pets the environment that they are used to. My schedule may vary, so don’t be afraid to send me a message to double check!! I have classes from 11am-1pm Mondays-Thursdays this semester and my weekends (Friday-Sunday) are completely free. Wednesdays my schedule is full due to personal reasons, thank you. I can feed, walk, play, supervise, take potty, and administer medication like insulin shots, etc. I can watch over them and take care of pets if the owner is out of town as well.
“Blaise was great! She kept in contact with me and sent me multiple pictures. She followed all instructions for Athena’s care. We are so thankful that Athena was cared for by such a caring person. Athena absolutely loved Blaise!”
“Katie did a great job with caring for my 2 male cats for a week. One of my cats had been recently diagnosed with a medical issue. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Katie was staying at my house & frequently checking up on him.”
“Alexis is fantastic! She stayed in our home and watched our 2 large fur babies while we were traveling. She sent regular photos which assured us our pups were safe and happy. We've already booked her for our next trip.”
“Ayla was so kind and sweet, allowed my wife and I to enjoy a few days away. It is comforting to know that there is someone you can trust with your little furry loved ones.”
“Best Rover we have had so far! Bella took great care of our dog. She was easy to communicate with and was super courteous and clean staying at our apartment for the weekend! Highly recommend!”
“Hannah helped us out last minute and took care of our house and dogs and did such an incredible job. She came for a meet and greet and took detailed notes. She followed all our dog care instructions, and left our house cleaner than she found it. Dogs were very happy when we got home and all the sheets and towels had already been washed and put back. We got lots of great updates. We highly recommend her for pet care, and housesitting!”
“Cinamon was great! Super friendly, easy to communicate with and schedule, and took great care of my dog while I was away. I will absolutely be inviting her back to take care of my dog in the future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Rudderville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rudderville on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,524 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rudderville. 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 Rudderville 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 Rudderville 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 Rudderville 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.

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.
