Brian was great with my dog! He sent me lots of pictures and updates which put my mind at ease! I was worried about leaving her with a stranger but the pictures of them playing and her chilling out let me enjoy my vacation. Will definitely be calling on Brian again.

Nikki is a great young lady that treated Ollie like he was one of her own. She made the process of leaving not only my dog but my home in her capable hands and she is already booked for a couple more weekends.

Sydney did an excellent job of caring for my pup, Tucker! She provided updates and her communication was spot on throughout the process. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

As always, Alyssa took great care of my dog Jake during my overnight trip to Denver. I received updates on her arrival and departure, as well as some communications in-between and a photo, all of which are always a great comfort while I'm away. I highly recommend Alyssa as a dog and house sitter and appreciate her good work!

About: Since 2006, I have traveled for work extensively (100-200+/days) and owned several dogs and homes. I know how challenging it can be to find someone who loves dogs and won't cancel or flake last minute, and also not worry about the stress and care level at boarding environments for your furry family members. I am a college coach with open dates this summer to watch your home and pets. I'd love to earn extra income in order to keep chasing my dream with my 12-year-old border collie. If I'm working in the office, I'm still able to make time for home visits, walks and all the pets. I am also able to work remote at times. I look forwarding to finding some families to help as much as I can. I have raised agility dogs, puppies, seniors and added to my pack of 2-3 over the years. I have a good knowledge of feeding dogs with allergies, have done many baths and grooming, and have cared for sick pups. I treat my own dog like family, while also respecting and teaching boundaries.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for a little over 4 years and have had animals all my life. So I have a ton of experience with pet sitting! I can also watch any other animals. Just show me what needs done, I most likely can do it! (Besides dogs & cats, I have watched/fed goats, birds, turtles and fish!) I will try to always go above and beyond for your pets & treat them like my own🤍 I do pet sitting full time so I have a lot of time to care for your pets! Just message me to figure out days and times! I do get booked quick for overnight stays so try to book me quickly:) I unfortunately can not do care for any pets at my house but when coming to your house I will do anything asked to help with your fur baby and make sure they get all the loving I can give!

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a dog and two cats back home, and since I’ve been away for work, I’ve really missed spending time with them. That’s one of the reasons I’m excited to offer pet care through Rover. I’ve also pet sat for others in the past and understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cleaning up after them, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work a 9-5 in Sandusky with 2 days off per week. I would love to spend my days off with your pets, I can also be available early mornings and in the evenings after I get off! You and your pets safety, comfort, and routine will be my number one priority. Since I’m currently unable to have pets at my home, I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet in their own environment.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always loved taking care of animals. I have experience with dog and cat sitting, as well as some experience with dog training. I currently have two Border Collies and a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs and keeping them active and entertained. I know every pet is different, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the same care, attention, and love I’d give my own. 🐾 I currently work part-time at a local restaurant, but my schedule is pretty flexible, so I can easily work around pet care. I’m also taking college classes online, which gives me the flexibility to be available wherever I am. This makes it easy for me to give your pet plenty of time and attention! I take the safety and well-being of my own pets very seriously, and I would give your pet that same level of care. I’ll make sure they are safe, comfortable, and properly cared for while they’re with me, treating them with the same responsibility and attention I would give my own pets.

About: Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to care for several dogs and a cat with a variety of personalities and needs. I’ve cared for a Pitbull mix, Chihuahua, Australian Shepherd, a Terrier mix, and a Maine Coon cat. I’ve also been a pet parent to a Cane Corso/Lab mix, so I’m very comfortable around larger breeds and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and proper care. I’m comfortable giving medications and following specific care routines. I’ve provided medication for pets as well as my own, so I understand how important it is to be reliable and attentive when it comes to health needs. I truly love animals and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away — treating them with the same attention and kindness I’d want for my own I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for drop-ins, walks, pet care, and overnight stays. On weekdays, I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM–5 PM, but I am available for early morning visits between 6 AM–7:30 AM for feeding, medication, potty breaks, and walks, as well as evening care from 5:30 PM -8:30 PM I teach yoga on Mondays and Thursdays, so my availability on those days is limited. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and find a schedule that works best. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, personality, and individual needs, including feeding routines, walks, medication, and any special instructions. I understand that pets can feel stressed when their people are away, so I provide a calm, patient presence and plenty of attention while respecting their home and environment. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Sabrina was a wonderful house sitter when our normal sitter was already booked. We were on vacation for a week and Sabrina took wonderful care of our dogs and our house. Dogs spent lots of time playing outside while we were gone and were obviously well cared for when we returned. We returned to a clean house and happy dogs. Would definitely book Sabrina again!

About: I love animals and I enjoy being around them. I have a one year old German shepherd mix who loves other animals and playing so it would be a great opportunity for the both of us. I enjoy being outdoors with my dog and I’d be sure to do the same with yours. I have a very nice neighborhoood where I can take your dogs on walks and give them the exercise they need(: if you have any questions I’m free to answer any you have. I live with one other person who would be able to help so somebody will always be available to love and care for your pets! We do great team work and we are ready to have fun I have one small child , 6 years old who is home Sunday - Thursday! I have plenty of time to enjoy time with your pets. Depending on the times I have your animals I like to start off with feeding and excercise early in the morning with evening walks and play sessions also being part of the daily schedule. I have a fenced in back yard and one fur baby to keep hours company. I am open to spending all the time in the world with your animals.🫶🏽

About: I’ve been around Dogs all my life. I have Dogs sat for friends, friends of friends in their home in my home, taking a break from corporate world. I’m looking to connect with some more animals Dog specifically I’m professional, loving sweet. I’m someone who hugs and holds animals constantly andas much as possible. Your pet will be loved with me that’s for sure.. I do have a nine year-old professionally trained miniature schnauzer. He would always be with me or hear in my home. He will not necessarily be on walks or check-in, but overnights are boarding in my home. Definitely he’s very very sweet. I would definitely be using my computer during my visits while sitting on the couch with him and if I have any board meetings or interviews, I might also use your Wi-Fi. After many years in a professional career, I’m taking a meaningful break to focus on two things that bring me joy—writing and spending more time outdoors with wonderful dogs. My schedule is intentionally flexible, allowing me to provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care. I believe pet parents deserve to enjoy vacations, work trips, or even a quiet evening out without guilt or worry. While you’re away, your pup will receive genuine companionship, thoughtful care, and plenty of love, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or curling up for cuddles, I’ll happily meet them where they are. I also have an almost 9-year-old, 14-pound Miniature Schnauzer who is professionally trained and truly the sweetest little companion I could ask for. He has a gentle temperament, loves other dogs, and provides calm, friendly company for pups who enjoy having a canine friend. If your dog prefers people over other dogs, I’m equally happy to give them one-on-one attention and will always respect their individual needs and comfort level. I believe in what I call “cuddle care”—gentle affection, belly rubs, calming massages, talking to dogs, and even singing to those who enjoy the extra attention. If your pup isn’t a snuggler, that’s perfectly okay too! I’ll always respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease. My goal is for every visit to be filled with kindness, patience, and positive experiences so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is being cared for like one of my own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ruggles Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Ruggles Beach on Rover is $55.5 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 447 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ruggles Beach. 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 Ruggles Beach 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 Ruggles Beach 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 Ruggles Beach 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 Ruggles Beach. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
