“The level of care and attention to detail Zachary will give your pet & your home exceeds all expectations! Super reliable and responsible, Zachary went above and beyond the standard. We are extremely happy and so is our pup! We will definitely be reaching out to Zachary for future gigs. Thanks again, Zachary!”
“Betsy took care of our dog (and house) for an entire week while we were away. Communicating with her was easy and straight forward and we received frequent pictures and updates every day. Our dog is on the older side of her life and has some particular needs .It was so good to know she was in great hands while we were away. Our house was also pristine when we returned. I will definitely ask Betsy to take care of our dog for us again in the future . Our best dog-sitting experience thus far! Thanks Betsy :)”
“Karla has been watching my senior dog off and on for the last 2 years and she is hands down the best sitter I've every worked with and am so grateful for her professional care whenever I have to leave town. My old boy takes several supplements and medications and needs special care due to his age and Karla competently and patiently takes care of him in a way that is above and beyond the job. She's experienced, an excellent communicator and is incredibly genuine. I couldn't recommend her more and encourage any dog or cat owner to seek her out!”
“Katharyn was incredible. She watched our dog and cat and sent tons of photos, was a dream with communication and left the house in perfect shape when we came home. I was so nervous because this was my first time leaving the pets and house, but after day 1 I was at complete ease and able to focus on my work trip! Will definitely rebook!”
“Fatima was great with our needy senior dog while we were away. She gave lots of updates with photos and let us know how it was going throughout the weekend. Our house was in great shape when we returned and even our very shy cat seemed to warm up by the end. Would definitely recommend Fatima to anyone looking for in-home sitting and we hope to use her again in the future!”
“Benjamin did a really great job taking care of my dog. He arrived on time everyday. He took my dog on really nice walks - which my dog lives for :) He watched out for my dog, especially during the air quality alert days. That helped so much. Also, he took out my dog for a walk everyday before I arrived home so that I could rest when I came home. That was so helpful. That made such a difference. I highly recommend Benjamin.”
About: I've been caring for pets my whole life, and have been a trusted sitter for family and friends for many years. I've also been a volunteer for the Humane Society since 2019, helping socialize and train some of the most challenging shelter dogs and cats. I have experience with large and xl dogs, senior animals, and puppies and kittens 8 weeks and older. I grew up in a family that adopted all sorts of pets, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, horses, parakeets, and one very majestic iguana. While I don't currently have any pets since my last elderly fur baby crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I look forward to adopting again in the future from a rescue organization. I'm a freelance grant writer, which means lots of flexibility to meet your scheduling needs. I can do drop-in visits and overnights at your home, and will happily send you as many photos as you like. Your trust and your fur baby's well being are my top priorities. I always make sure to follow any instructions or rules you have for your home and pets.
“Jessica was wonderful! We have a large 1.5 year old dog who specializes in overwhelming newcomers to our home, but Jessica radiates such a calm and confident energy that our dog was transformed! Instead of bounding around she sat quietly for scratches and acted like she’d known Jessica for years. In addition to being a little overwhelming, our dog gets car sick, needs motility medication and is a bit of a quirky eater, but it felt great knowing she was in such capable hands and we came home to a healthy and happy pooch. Jessica kept us in the loop and was an excellent communicator. I would absolutely reach out to Jessica for our next trip!”
“Oanh is an excellent pet sitter. My cat is very sensitive and has been through a lot, yet she handled him with so much care and patience. She followed every single instruction carefully and made sure he received all his medications exactly as directed. He truly loved her, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s reliable, a great communicator, and updated me twice a day with detailed messages about him. I would absolutely trust her with Demitri again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We loved Elizabeth’s updates while we were on our trip. Our older dog Radish has a plethora of supplements and medications and Elizabeth was happy to accommodate. House was spotless on our return. Would gladly have her back!”
“We were so blessed to have Brianna care for our dog during a recent vacation. Our original sitter had to cancel and we were really in a bind! Bri came to the rescue and did a wonderful job with our dog whom we've only had with us for a few weeks. She was super communicative and helpful and we truly appreciated her help. She left our home in great shape and Emmy was healthy, happy, and relaxed upon our return! I would highly recommend Brianna to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets! I have lots of experience with dogs, cats, rats, chinchillas, and birds. I’ve also taken care of guinea pigs, ferrets, and bunnies. I’ve pet sit for neighbors, coworkers, and friends. I’m currently not going in for work so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I may only leave for a couple hours at a time to run errands. I have a fenced yard and live near nature trails that provide an exciting walking environment for dogs. I have two dogs at home that are ok with other dogs.
“Denise was AMAZING! She was so patient with my shy senior Nikita. The two of them bonded much quicker than I had anticipated and it made me so happy to know that my pup was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with Denise again as she’s become a member of Nikita’s circle! Thank you big time Denise - you are truly incredible.”
“Marcin was wonderful and attentive to Murphy. He communicates effectively and keeps me updated daily. I appreciate his diligence and care for my dog. Murphy was happy and calm when I got home. I will surely ask Marcin to be the sitter for Murphy again.”
“Soyoung saved our butts when our scheduled dog sitter had to cancel last minute. Even on short notice, she still came over for a meet and greet and asked great, thoughtful questions. When we got home from our trip, we could tell our dog got the care and attention we hoped for. I never look forward to leaving my dog, but with Soyoung dog sitting, I am going to feel much better. We will definitely be asking her to dog sit again!”
“Jackie was an excellent cat sitter for my cat, Ramona! She sent lots of pictures and updates, and she was very patient while Ramona warmed up to her. I came back to an extremely clean apartment along with a happy, healthy, and well-loved cat. Thank you, Jackie!”
“Rafael goes above and beyond for Miles and always makes us feel comfortable with frequent updates and pictures we don’t have to ask for. Our pup enjoys hanging out with him and we’re very happy to have found such a reliable and compassionate sitter.”

We were thrilled that Zachary could care for Maple for a second time. Again, he was dependable, trustworthy and timely. We are so happy we found him and will continue to reach out in the future when we need care for our dog! We highly recommend hiring Zachary for pet care.
We needed a house sitter at the last minute and Jessica came through for us. She was very communicative throughout her time with Luisa, left the house in great order and received a review from a neighbor who texted to say our pup looked happy on her walk with Jessica!
Grace just did an amazing job dog sitting for us! She was very prepared and kept me informed the entire trip. I could tell from her updates that she was spending time with Lemon and giving her the attention she deserves :) She also helped with things around the house like bringing in packages which was much appreciated. Thank you so much, Grace!

FAQs for House Sitting - Scio
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Scio 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 1,443 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scio. 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 Scio 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 Scio 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 Scio 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.

- 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.
