April is truly a dog whisperer! She watched my two Yorkies at my home, and I couldn't be more impressed. One of my dogs, Dawson, has severe separation anxiety and usually takes a long time to trust strangers. To my total shock, it was love at first sight for him—he didn't even care when I left! April took wonderful care of my fur babies and even went above and beyond by leaving my house spotless. Finding someone Dawson trusts is rare, and I’ll definitely be booking April again.

About: I have 4 dogs of my own and have pet sit once when I was 13. I love dogs and would love to care for you furry friend. I can travel far but wouldn't like to drive more than 45 mins. I currently do not have a job so I have plenty of time and availability to take care of your furry friends,I am mostly interested in dogs because I'm am allergic to cats. I make sure they have fresh water each day,if its hot out twice a day,I have a dog named Ellie which I could bring if you didn't care or if you wanted your pup to have a friend to play with as I clean and make sure everything is perfect.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life ever since I was a kid! Whether it's been my own pups through the years, or family and neighbors dogs, I've always strived to love and care for them just like my own! Small dogs, large dogs, seniors or puppies, you can trust me to provide the best possible care for them! If it’s cats that you have in any way, either a dog and a cat or just cats, don’t worry, I can still help there! I am more than willing to take care of any cat! Though I’ve never owned cats personally, I have had experience in being around them and cat sitting here and there! Cats are great and full of such varied personality, I’m always more than happy to watch them and to care for them! I also have experience in housesitting! Do you need your flowers watered? Mail checked? You can depend on me there too! I can also provide you with photos of your pet! So you never miss your best friend! Whether you need me to stay home with your pet, check in, or go on a walk with them, I promise to care and love them, only the best for your pet! Right now, it's the summer before college for me, and for you that means excellent, open availability for your pet care needs! Whether it’s a morning check-in, afternoon walk, or overnight housesitting, my schedule is very flexible! The only scheduling conflict that happens every week is on Tuesdays, I give private instrumental lessons! If your pet has an established routine, if you let me know, I can follow it! If I have any other plans that interfere with my commitment to caring for your pup, I promise to let you know. It's important to be honest! I can follow established schedules, clean, and be trusted to care for your dog/cat! To people who love dogs and cats, they are best friends and give the warmth of companionship, and more than that they are family. I promise to treat the valued member of your family with the utmost care and respect. When walking your dog, I will always keep them leashed. One of the best ways to keep dogs safe outside near roads and urban areas is to do just that. I’ll make sure all doors are locked when at the home and when going, for the safety of your pet, you, and your home. You can depend on me.

About: I will always hold a special place in my heart for animals, I’ve been fortunate enough for the past 15 years to care for my pet dog and cat through their stages of life. While also taking care of neighborhood pets as well as having two years of experience in a breeding clinic where I took care of, washed, fed, and walked the mothers and puppies. I am self-employed and have very flexible hours between Monday and Friday. Along with that I am willing to care for your pets during some weekends. I have grown up surrounded by animals, so it comes to no surprise on how to care for your pets in a safe way. I am able to create a safe environment in my own home as well in yours.

About: Hello, my name is Jordan. I am a pet sitter based in Mount Orab, Ohio! I have 4 cats and a little Chiweenie Puggle with my boyfriend. I often take care of strays around the neighborhood and have even taken in a few. I work to advocate for those who don't have a voice. I enjoy walking in the outdoors! Perfect for your little pup full of energy. I have always had a passion for animals since I was little, accumulating a lot of pet care experience under my belt with smaller animals over the course of a decade. I always treat every furbaby as if they are my own. I cannot wait to meet yours, they will have my full heart and attention! Always up to answer those questions and concerns, you can rely on me to be there for you and your dog. I tend to specialize in small dogs and other small animals. I have a fairly flexible schedule due to working for myself currently, making plenty of time for your pet throughout the week Monday through Sunday as well as most holidays! I care for the pets in and around my home by feeding with set schedules, cleaning up any messes created, scooping litterboxes everyday, cleaning food bowls, walking my dog multiple times throughout the day, crating my dog at night, as well as keeping them enriched and entertained!

About: I understand the importance of spending time getting to know your pets personality, especially while their favorite human is away. This has allowed me to form connections with previous clients over the years that have chosen to book with me continuously for both cats and dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and love to work online! Pet sitting and walking is the perfect balance of work and activity for me! I would love to fit your fur baby into my schedule! I am a former collegiate athlete, and love to exercise with a buddy! Dogs are the perfect pair for that! I also love to spend time remotely, pet sitting is the perfect pair for that! I love to maintain a routine for your fur babies. Every animal is different and deserves specialized care catering to them! Making sure that my schedule aligns with theirs is a priority in my work.

About: I intern at an animal sanctuary where I provide full animal care to cats, dogs, foxes, birds, wolves, horses, a beaver, a bear, an elk, and much more. I have been there for over a year as well as taken care of many other animals for families over night and daily check ins. I am studying environmental science where I hope to work with animals so I have been gaining a lot of experience and knowledge with all kinds. I work another job currently as well as school so my check ins would be early morning and nights. My schedule varies from day to day so I’m willing to work it out as needed. I am available for over nights almost every night. I have watched animals with and without fences. I have gained a lot of experience in how to keep both me and the animals safe from my internship knowledge.

About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, gentle, and I love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already very responsible and used to caring for animals. I make time in my schedule for feeding, litter box care, playtime, and giving pets attention so they feel comfortable and cared for. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their routine closely and making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I handle feeding, fresh water, walks or potty breaks, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and care while respecting the owner’s instructions and the pet’s personality.

Katie is an incredible petsitter!!! She managed taking care of my 3 pets, including one who goes to daycare 3 times a week. My husband and I went on a week-long vacation and I didn’t have to worry about our pets or home a single time. Katie sent me daily updates, which was awesome, and took the time to meet with us beforehand. Seriously can’t recommend her enough!

I cannot say enough good things about Alyssa and Eve, our amazing pet sitters! From the moment they arrived to the moment we landed back safely in Cincinnati, they exceeded our expectations in every way. Their communication was exceptional, keeping us constantly updated with messages and loads of pictures. They stayed at our home and maintained everything wonderfully, showing incredible love and kindness to our three pets, each with their own unique personalities. One of our dogs is particularly anxious and doesn't handle change or thunderstorms well. Alyssa and Eve took special care of him, even turning on purple lighting and playing calming music to help him relax and cuddle. This thoughtful touch made a world of difference for our stressed pup. Our home was treated as if it were their own, and their attention to detail and respect for our space was evident. They spent time outside playing with the dogs, ensuring they got plenty of exercise and fun. They also made special time to play with our cat, ensuring every pet felt loved and attended to. Both Alyssa and Eve dedicated their days and evenings to our pets, providing them with constant companionship and care. Their dedication, compassion, and professionalism have truly set them apart. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such wonderful pet sitters and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of exceptional pet care.

About: Woof! Im a responsible and trustworthy military veteran with a true passion for dogs.I have ample experience, having helped run a nonprofit dog rescue for many years. I’m kind, gentle, patient, and extremely comfortable around canines. Being an active and energetic kind of gal, your babies will have a blast during their time with me! Their paws will be in good hands. P.S ( I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own). I work from home, (free lance writing) and have plenty of time to host your dog. Being a homebody, I only step out for a few hours, for kickboxing and weight training. I have an extremely large yard with lots of room for: exercise, playtime, and exploring. And I’m well equipped with several doggy condos (crates and cages).

About: Since about 12 years old my neighborhood friends would hire me to dogs sit while their family went out of town. I’ve always had a huge amount of love for animals so I never had any problem doing so. Fast forward 5 years later my parents began breeding French bulldogs. My siblings and I had a lot of responsibility on our hands are far as feeding them, bathing, keeping them groomed, making sure they’re up to date on shots and etc. I currently work from home so that’s enables me with plenty of free time to walk, play with/take to the park, and feed your lovely animals! In my home my dog is crate trained. I do have a crate for my puppy for if friends come over and are not comfortable with him I can put him away for a few hours. I prefer all animals be crate trained , but only go to the crate if they would like to do so. I do not mind dogs walking around my house. I have a puppy of my own so every morning I get up and take my puppy on a 30 minute walk as well as every evening once I get home from work. I have an animal friendly house so I usually let pups/kittys run around the house as long as they’ve been fed and taken out for a potty break.

FAQs for House Sitting - Russellville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 100 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Russellville. 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 Russellville 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 Russellville 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 Russellville 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 Russellville. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
