“Laura did an amazing job taking care of our dogs while we were away! She communicated well from start to finish and kept us updated with plenty of pictures, which made it so much easier to relax knowing they were in great hands. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of love and attention. She also left our home neat and tidy, which we really appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to book laura again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”
“Rigby had a great time staying with Lisa! She provided pictures and videos during his stay. This was the first time he stayed overnight with someone besides family and I was super nervous but she assured me he would do well and he did!”
“Carrie is absolutely fabulous! She took care of our puppy in our home and did a wonderful job. Her communication is top notch and she sent several pictures as well. Thank you Carrie for providing five star service.”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, growing up on a small farm and never having a day without a furry friend! I absolutely love all animals, whether domestic or wild, and I’m passionate about giving them the best care possible. I have cared for a wide variety, including those with health issues. My hands-on experience with both healthy and senior pets means I can handle any situation with compassion and expertise. I’m dedicated to giving your pets the best care possible! I’ve also got hands-on experience dog sitting for clients, staying in their homes for extended periods to ensure their pets are happy and well-cared for. While I don’t have formal training, my lifelong experience has equipped me with the knowledge to handle all sorts of situations, including emergencies. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and dedicated to making sure your pets have a great time while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible, and I am available Monday through Sunday to provide your pets with the care and attention they deserve. I’m able to give them plenty of one-on-one time, keep them on their normal routines, and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Your pet’s safety is my priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar surroundings and keep their normal routines. I will provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, fresh food and water, potty breaks, and whatever individual care your pet needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I will also treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
“This is the first time we had Taylor stay at our house to sit our two big dogs and cat. We can’t recommend her enough! She is confident and the dogs took to her right away. Reggie is a Great Pyrenees and takes a little time to warm up to strangers. She was very responsive and sent us photos and videos several times a day. The house and yard were spotless. We will definitely ask Taylor to come back, when we travel again!”
About: I've hand rereared kittens and puppies from 3 days old to house broken. I have had reptiles and all kinds of fuzzy animals, I haven't met anything I didn't love immediately. I can give medicine and keep routines while providing plenty of updates! I am a stay at home mom so I love getting a chance to step away and love on another kind of baby! I grew up raising animals, I love too many kinds to make up my mind, so let me love yours while you're away! I treat them like my own, I follow instructions and go based off of the animal. I run a sensory friendly home so I have lots of relaxing quiet corners!
“Trinity was absolutely amazing while watching our dogs for the weekend! She was incredibly helpful and caring, especially with our diabetic dog. She confidently administered his insulin, which gave us so much peace of mind. She sent regular updates and adorable pictures, keeping us in the loop the whole time. On top of that, she was the perfect house guest. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Amber is such a great sitter! We didn't have a single worry with her watching our pups. She sent daily proof of life pictures and kept us informed throughout. We wish she wasn't moving away because she would definitely be our go-to! Patton and Winston love her!! ❤️”
About: Hello! I have 3 dachshunds named Remmy, Hazel and daisy. and a cat named Maggie that is 3 🙂 I would love to get to know you are your pet! I have had Remmy and daisy since they were puppies, and Maggie for 2 years. We adopted her from the shelter. I work as a dental assistant !If I could have all of the puppies and kitties in the entire world I would! I have a decent yard (including a back) for living in town ! (Fenced in) for some reason I cannot her update my profile settings BUT WE DO HAVE A 4 year old and 2 year old. I work Monday-Thursday but my husband only works until about 11 am everyday! So there is always somebody home with your fur babies to play with. I have a fenced yard and 3 puppies to keep your dog company:) we have so many toys to play with, our dogs LOVE to play ball.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I can train puppies and take care of senior dogs. I have experience with it all. My father used to raise and train puppies since I was 10, so that’s where I get the magic spark from. I am so passionate to take care of, and to love on animals. I have three dogs of my own that we have raised since they were little. I work part-time, and have flexible hours, so I am available for your pups whenever you need a babysitter! Day or night, I can help! When I take care of these pups, I like to chat with the owner about their expectations for the house, and for their pup. Follow instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime. If accidents happen, clean them up as soon as possible. Stay out of rooms or areas the owner has marked as off-limits. Keep your belongings tidy and out of the way. Keep the volume down. I like to keep owners updated with text and pictures. I also like to do a quick tidy-up before the owner gets back to their sweet pup 🐶!
“Kariah is the best! She took care of our baby Tug the whole weekend and was so great about sending pictures and updates. We were able to have a relaxing, much needed weekend without any worry knowing Kariah had Tug. She is fantastic, trustworthy, sweet and gentle. Thanks Kariah ❤❤❤”
About: I bring 22 years of dedicated dog experience and 3 years of cat care, with a proven history of raising 5 dogs and 3 cats who all lived long, healthy lives. I currently care for 4 dogs and 2 cats, and I previously provided two years of full-time care for my sister’s cat. I’ve successfully trained dogs to sit, roll over, shake, speak, crawl, and follow consistent potty-training routines. I combine experience, reliability, and genuine love with a calm, confident presence that pets respond to instantly. Your fur babies won’t just be safe with me — they’ll thrive. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full-time job from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, Monday through Friday, which leaves plenty of availability for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m also flexible and can work around those hours as needed. During the day, I’m able to stop by for midday walks or check-ins during my lunch break, typically between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Outside of work, my schedule is fully open for drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and extended care. I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, structure, and affection throughout the day. I would care for pets in a client’s home just like I care for my own, creating a safe, clean, and loving environment. I would follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions. I’d provide plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention while also giving pets calm, quiet time when needed. I would monitor their health, ensure they have fresh water, and give lots of affection so they feel comfortable and secure. My goal would be to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away, treating every fur baby like part of my own family.
“Willow was awesome! Great communication, several visits to the house for a meet and greet and to go over protocol before the actual pet sitting and super sweet with the dogs. Reliable, trustworthy and diligent. Thank you Willow!”
“Yesenia was wonderful! She looked after my dog while I was away on vacation. Dropped in frequently, sent lots of photos and updates, and was very responsive. Would highly recommend to anyone going away or who needs someone to let their dog out while they’re at work.”
“Lindsay did an excellent job taking care of my 2 cats and senior dog! She stayed at the house and everything worked out perfectly! She also sent pictures and updated me throughout our trip! Definitely recommend her for any pet needs!”
About: I provide dependable, personalized care by treating every dog like family. I prioritize safety, consistent communication, patience, and keeping each pet comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently don’t have a job as I am preparing to go into college. So most the times I am home, when I am away from home it isn’t long. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of affection. I also send regular photo and video updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and treat them like they’re part of my own family.
About: I have watched many dogs before and families have always loved me. I am very energetic and can get outside and do play time. I’m also very gentle and know how to handle calm dogs that like to cuddle. I have also worked at hot paws playing with dogs outside, cleaning kennels, changing food and water etc. I am an at home mother to a 1 1/2 year old who loves puppies. I am free Monday-Sunday. I do prefer to be home during the night but it can change sometimes so just ask if that’s what you need. I do not have a fenced in property so dogs will have to be walked on a leash outside if staying at my home. I will take dogs to potty every 1-2 hours. I can put dog in crate if preferred or they can run free in the home and play. They can also jump on my bed/couch if they want to relax, unless otherwise asked not to teach them that is okay. Anything you ask of your dog will be done.
About: As a lifelong pet owner and caretaker of animals, I love the opportunity to meet new furry friends! I have worked with my family to train all of our dogs and cats while having them be a part of the family! I’m currently working full time but spend plenty of time with my fur baby to make sure she’s taken care of and happy. I ensure that your fur baby is treated like my own and every animal I come into contact with is taken care of to the highest degree!
“Destany was amazing. My very nervous golden retrievers took to her immediately and she went above and beyond by bringing packages in for me etc. she followed all of my requests and sent pictures and videos to me everyday. Would definitely recommend!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Marys on Rover is $42.8 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 984 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Marys. 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 Saint Marys 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 Saint Marys 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 Saint Marys 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 Saint Marys. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
