About: I've been raised to love animals since childhood, and we've had numerous dogs and cats at home growing up. My mother taught me a great deal about treating animals with care and love. I am retired and am available for cat sitting on weekdays between 8 am to 5 pm. I look forward to doting on and pampering your precious ones when they are under my care. With utmost care and attention in your own home. I know that cats are happiest in their own home, doing their own routines. Their comfort is my top priority.

“Tori was absolutely wonderful. Our dog is very skittish and does not warm up to people easily, but within minutes of meeting Tori, she was affectionate and clearly comfortable. Tori was incredibly responsive, responsible, proactive, attentive, and respectful throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, took amazing care of our dog, and treated our home with real care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing both our dog and house were in such capable hands. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough and are already planning to book her again to stay at our house when we travel later this summer.”

“Natalie was amazing! She took great care of the dogs, including a troublesome puppy, and was super respectful of the house, the schedule, and our time! She took the request last-minute which was great and she was flexible and experienced with handling my dogs’ varying energy levels. She also contacted me right away when there was an issue and handled it like a pro! Would definitely book again & recommend.”

“Michaela was wonderful. Our fur family can be quite challenging (2 dogs and 2 cats). Our Sophie (pitbull) is blind and likes to cause chaos with the cats. Michaela handled them beautifully. She was very attentive to their needs / ie. she allowed all 4 to sleep with her. We will definitely be rebooking with Michaela.”

About: Hi there! 👋 I work from home and have always had animals as a big part of my life, so I truly understand the love and companionship our furry family members bring. My home is pet-friendly with a large, secure backyard where your pup can play and feel safe! 🏡 I also love providing dogs with socialization and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged! 🎾 Just a quick note—while I encourage social interactions, this isn’t a substitute for formal socialization training if your pup needs it. Can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged friend! 🐾 I’m super clean and detail-oriented, which means your furry friend will be in a safe, well-maintained, and hazard-free home at all times. A tidy, organized space isn’t just for me—it ensures pups stay happy, comfortable, and out of harm’s way! 🐕🦺 - Walks, walks, and more walks! Your pup will get plenty of fresh air and exercise 🐱- No personal pets, so your pup gets full attention and support 💕 - Limited number of pups being hosted at a time, to ensure pups are not overwhelmed and receive the proper amount of attention they deserve ❌ - Aggressive animals are prohibited for the safety of others 🎾 - Each pup’s personality and uniqueness is personally vetted to ensure any group dynamics are smooth and safe 🍽️ - Feeding schedules are followed to a T 💧- Fresh, filtered water always available 🍃- A large, secure, and spotless backyard for roaming, sunbathing, and safe exploration 🚪 - Freedom to move in and out of the house—a cozy, clean space where pups can relax and feel at ease 🧸 - Enrichment toys, cuddles, and mental stimulation to keep their minds engaged and tails wagging! 🧹- A meticulously clean and hazard-free home—no harmful foods, small objects, or anything that could pose a risk to curious pups Because I pay close attention to every detail, you can rest easy knowing your pup’s routine will be followed with love and care, all in a safe, and welcoming home.

Pups tend to feel more comfortable in the crate they were trained in, and so I want to make their stay as stress-free as possible. 🐶 Because I pay close attention to every detail, you can rest easy knowing your pup’s routine will be followed with care, any issues or possible concerns reported to you, all in a safe, spotless, and welcoming home. 🐾
“We love Kiara, she took excellent care of our cats and dog. This was my first time using Rover or a dog sitter and it was fantastic. She’s so sweet with the animals and sent videos all along the way. I was able to relax on my trip knowing our fur buddies were in good hands. I would use her again in an instant!”

“First times a charm! 20 years of dog and house sitters. You know the winners when you see them. Angie was a winner. Super communicative. Obvious love for animals. And, she is an adult you can trust your house and pets to. Glad she was available on Rover and feel lucky to have found her.”

About: Hello ! My name is Andrea. Im a veterinary professional offering care not only in the hospital, but also in my home. I have years of experience with care , handling, and husbandry of multiple species of animals. I offer in home care, boarding, grooming services, dog walking, medical care for special needs pets, and even dog training. Think of me as our one stop shop ! I am available most days, times, and holidays when needed or requested. Your pet receives the love and attention they would get from you at home. All pets receive the best care while being cared for, including snuggles, play time, toys or blankets from home to help them settle in, and easy access to the fenced in back and front yard for potty breaks and zoomies.
“Jasmine helped us out of a tight spot over the Holidays when our original sitter bailed. It was our 8 month old puppy’s first time with a sitter. On the first day, there were some issues and the dogs wound up alone for all but about 15 mins in an 8+ hr stretch. This was the longest they’d ever been alone. Things improved marginally after that, but we left detailed instructions / schedule that was clearly not upheld. Our dogs seemed ok after it, but we came home to quite a mess and are dealing with a lot of training regression with our puppy.”

“Siu was great with my two dogs. Especially my senior dog who needs a little bit more attention. He was attentive, communicative, and adamant about giving the best care to them. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: Ive worked in the veterinary field for almost 12 years- most of my experience has been in specialty and emergency medicine and have been lucky to help all sizes and ages of fur babies and their families. I have seen the distress of both the pet and their pet parent and always strive to be a pillar of confidence and ensure your pet is in good hands and will be taken care of. My goal is to build trust with your pet and also with your family. I understand how hard it can be to travel and have someone care for them and this is why i treat all animals like my own. I always put safety at the forefront when i'm pet sitting and always happy for check in's or anything that puts you at ease to know your loved one is taken care of while you are away. I am currently freelancing and enjoying getting my dose of animal care by assisting my house mates older dog. I lost my best fur friend over a year ago and currently helping other pets feel cared and loved until im ready for a new friend. Doors and locks are always checked and no pet is left unattended. I typically adjust my schedule to the needs of your pet while in my care.
About: I’ve had pets since I was little, always feeling a close bond with them! I’ve worked as a dog groomer and a vet clinic cleaner! I have no preference between cats and dogs, both I find purrfect! Taking care of them will be as much a treat for them as it is for me! I work part time, so a lot of my week is free for playdates and walks! No better way to spend my free time then with your cuties. I have a closed off backyard! A pretty wooded neighborhood with a lot of trails to walk around and enjoy nature. My house is picked up with a lot of blankets and soft textures! Perfect for a nice rest for any pet
“We had a great experience with our dog /house sitter, Julia! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. She also kept our home clean and treated it with respect. It was clear our dog was happy, well cared for, and received plenty of attention and love. We felt completely at ease knowing our pet was in such good hands. We would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”

About: I have worked in a dog kennel for 3 years, and I am very experienced when it comes to dogs. It’s very important to know how to work with pets and take great care of them. I am a single mom, so this job helps me balance my schedule a lot with my baby and helps me be more present with her. I have a dog myself and I make sure he is well fed as well as making sure he gets his exercise every day because it’s important for them.
“Giana did an amazing job while I was away for seven days. I would definitely have her back again. My dogs and cats absolutely adored her and she kept me updated on a daily basis with photos and videos. I was initially worried about having someone stay at my home, but I had nothing to worry about. She took good care of my pets and my home. If I could give her more than 5 stars I definitely would!”

About: I’ve owned 2 dogs in my lifetime, a terrier-mix and Pomeranian-mix. Raised both from puppies through their unfortunate passing. Although I’ve owned smaller dogs, bigger dogs are my favorite because of their energy. Regardless of size, I’ll be sure to keep your dog cared for and entertained. Childless home. Full-time at home worker. Flexible enough schedule to fit in dog walks at a minimum every 2-4 hours. Athletic enough for long walks or short runs. I have a fenced patio for your dog to relax and get fresh air with and without shade. In door option is also available but clients should note that the home has 3 floors but will happily assist friends in need up the stairs.
About: I have more experience with small dogs and cats. I used to play with small dogs a lot and I love their energy. I also love cats since I have two of my own. Looking forward to meet your pets. I can visit once a day on weekdays after 5pm. This visit can be playing for 30 mins, changing food or water. I can visit more often on weekend ( fri-sun) depend on your need. I prefer each visit will be as longest as 30 mins and I don't stay over night. I will make sure your pets have enough of necessities as I visit, like food or water. I make sure I can keep them a company and play with them to make them happy.
“Mai was great with our dogs. I am glad I found Mai so we could have a peace of mind when we travel. She communicated well and was realiable. She also left our house neat and clean. We will definitely get her services again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Russell City is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $76 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Russell City 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 Russell City 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 Russell City 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
