“I couldn’t be happier with the care our dog sitter provided for Blue and Leia this weekend. The girls absolutely adored her and warmed up so quickly — which says a lot! She sent thoughtful updates, took amazing care of them, and even left our home just as we left it. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Truly grateful and would 100% book with her again!”
“Derek was fantastic. We booked a housesitting with him on very short notice (11 hours). He was great with our 3 dogs and 4 cats and kept the house clean. Thank you SO much.”
“This was the first time I used a house sitter. I was a little leery, but Anabelle was a timely communicator as we worked through some initial bumps. She was respectful of my requests and our pup seemed to enjoy spending time with her. I would use her again.”
“Chelsea was very responsive and kept me well updated with texts and pictures while we were gone. It was my first time using rover and I was a little nervous, but everything went great!”
“Brittany is the best! This is the 2nd time I've used her when I travel abroad for over 2 weeks. All three of my dogs (all on multiple meds, 2 in diapers, 2 elderly, 1 special diet, 4x day need to go out) get all the care, attention, play and love they need. She communicates well without being intrusive, sends me pictures, and alerts me if anything is going on of concern with the house. It's difficult to put a price on the peace of mind I have when she is holding down the fort so I can enjoy my respite away. I will continue to use Brittany. I encourage you to book her for your next vacation.”
“Abigail was a great sitter for my large crew (3 dogs and 2 cats). She kept me updated on what was going on that while I was aware. She was very friendly abd the crew loved her. We'll book with her again.”
“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”
About: I have 2 cats, a gecko and fish of my own, and I grew up with dogs. I love animals of all kind! I will do everything I can to ensure your furry, feathered, or scaly friend remains happy and healthy while you are away. I work a Monday-Friday job. I’m available for morning and evening check ins on your pets while you are away - feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up after. I am not able to board another animal in my home but I am able to stop in to your home to take care of your animal when needed!
“Ben took great care of our pets while we were out of town. I really appreciate the frequent photo updates he provided and how quick he was to respond when we messaged him. The only downside is now our dogs might expect even more walks than we provide them when we’re home.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Gina and are SO grateful to have found her. Lukee is a large pitbull mix recovering from TPLO surgery and needs extra help getting around with his harness. Gina's medical experience gave us so much peace of mind. She handled him gently and confidently and even spent time massaging him to keep him comfortable. When we ran late getting home, she stayed without hesitation and truly went above and beyond. We came home to a comfortable dog and felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, skilled pet care.”
About: I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and fish.

About: I truly love animals, and I have real hands-on experience that helps me care for pets of all ages and personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and large breeds. In my home town, I cared for Great Danes, so big dogs don’t intimidate me at all I’m confident, calm, and know how to handle them safely. Overall, I’m sweet, patient, and truly dedicated to making every pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can give pets my full attention and adjust easily to your needs. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, feeding, medication, and extra cuddle time. I love staying active, so taking dogs out for walks and playtime naturally fits into my daily routine. My open availability lets me focus on each pet individually and make sure they’re getting the care, love, and consistency they deserve. In my home, I make sure every pet has a safe, comfortable space. I have dog crates available, a fully fenced yard for outdoor time, and I always supervise pets when they’re outside. I keep a calm, clean environment and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they need. When I care for pets in my client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention to detail. I focus on keeping your pet’s normal routine, giving them affection, play, and structure. I send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I don't see this as just pet sitting - I see it as caring for a beloved member of your family! After saying goodbye to my own dog after many wonderful years together, I realized how much I missed having a dog in my life. While I’m not quite ready for another of my own, I have plenty of love, time, and attention to give yours. Because I’m retired, I have a flexible schedule and can provide lots of companionship, walks, playtime and affection. I prefer caring for one family’s hypoallergenic dog at a time in my own home. Hi! I’m Linda, and I’d love to care for your dog like they’re part of my family. Dogs have been one of the greatest joys of my life. After recently saying goodbye to my beloved dog after many wonderful years together, I realized just how much I miss the daily companionship, wagging tails, walks, and unconditional love they bring. While I’m not quite ready to welcome another dog of my own, I’d love the opportunity to love on yours. Spending time with dogs truly feeds my soul, and it would be my privilege to provide your pup with a safe, happy, and loving home while you’re away. I’m retired from my corporate career, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your dog. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or curling up for a nap, I’ll happily tailor their stay to their personality and routine. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else because I’ve been in your shoes. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is being cared for with the same love, patience, and kindness I gave my own dogs. A little about me: • Lifetime dog owner and lifelong dog lover • Active lifestyle—I love walking every day • Non-smoking home • Calm, peaceful environment • I prefer providing personalized, one-on-one care so your dog gets my full attention • Happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and sleep routines I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or loves to cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home until you’re reunited. Because every dog deserves to be treated like family. ❤️🐾 When your dog is with me, they’ll receive: • Lots of love, attention, and companionship • Daily walks and playtime • A calm, safe, and comfortable home • Consistent routines based on your instructions • Plenty of cuddles (if they enjoy them!) • Daily photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they’re having I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else because I’ve been in your shoes. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is being cared for with the same love, patience, and kindness I gave my own dogs.
“Absolutely was wonderful! Monae stayed at our house for three days to watch our 3 girls and took amazing care of them. She was extremely responsive and an excellent communicator throughout the entire stay. She even came early in the morning to make sure the girls weren’t left alone for too long and messaged with photos and updates which gave us complete peace of mind. We are so happy to have found someone we can truly trust. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Corrinn was the best dogsitter! We needed someone for 9 days while traveling to California without kids and had our sitter fall through. She made it easy to pivot and was highly communicative throughout the entire process. Our pup was so happy to have her company and we loved the check ins knowing that our dog was in good hands. Would highly recommend!!”
“Toni did an excellent job house sitting and caring for our dogs! She communicated wonderfully throughout her stay and was attentive to their needs. She made sure they got plenty of walks, attention, and quality time, and it was clear that the dogs absolutely loved having her around. She also went above and beyond in caring for our home. She stripped the guest bed and put the sheets and towels in the washer, washed the dishes, and kept everything clean. Toni was wonderful to work with, and we truly appreciated the care she gave to both our dogs and our home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be working with her again in the future!”

Jacqueline, Is a rockstar when it comes to pet/house sitting. Our two boys are not the easiest but she handled it all with no problem. She was amazing staying in contact and sharing photos daily. We will always when in need of the service reach out first to Rover and request her. I cannot honestly say enough about her. Thank you so much.

The average cost of House Sitting in Scioto is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $122 per night.

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 Scioto 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 Scioto 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 Scioto 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.

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.
