“Rachel was great with our pup this weekend. She sent pics and took him for plenty of walks. She was accommodating with our requests and as a guest in our house, and MOST importantly spent lots of time with him. This was our first time using this app and having a stranger in our house with our dog… and we’ve already booked Rachel for another stay!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Mamie took such great care of our dogs while we were away, especially during the storms and Fourth of July fireworks, which can be stressful for them. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands. She was incredibly communicative, sending regular check-ins and lots of photos, which we truly appreciated. Seeing our pups happy and comfortable made it so much easier to relax while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Jacqueline was literally the best sitter for our two pups! This was our first time leaving them with someone & for a long trip. Not one time did I think our boys weren’t getting all the love and attention they needed at home. She sent us pictures everyday, which we absolutely loved because we missed our doggies. Can’t say enough great things about Jacqueline! The dogs hope to see her again in the future! :)”
“Sarah stayed with Casper for several days while we were on a trip. She took great care of him! He clearly had a great time and she made sure he got his medication. She communicated really well and also took great care of the house.”
“Obi can be anxious but he was well cared for. Plenty of communication and updates, lots of play time, and he made a new dog friend with Astrid! 10/10 will rebook with Richard!”
“Francesca was so sweet. She did an excellent job caring for Sarge, going above and beyond by taking him on extra long walks (which are his favorite!) and was great with communication/sending pictures and updates. She also left the house spotless!!”
“Jill was very responsive and sent me plenty of photos of my pets while I was away. She left the house looking better than when she arrived, and the pets were well taken care of!”
“We can't say enough great things about Brittany. She's very caring,friendly,knowledgeable about pets (she's a Vet Tech!), thorough,and really communicative. Giving us numerous updates while we were away. She's forward thinking, asking us questions that we hadn't given thought to. Anyone using her is lucky to have watch their pets!”
“Cailynn was absolutely wonderful while watching our two high energy dogs for the week! She was extremely patient and understanding to their needs! We would defend recommend her for any pet sitting and house sitting needs!”
“Shyann was wonderful and patient with my skeptical rescue dog. She was communicative and sent pictures daily, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy going out of town for a concert. I’m definitely rebooking her again.”
“Jenna was extremely friendly she did fantastic with accompanying colt, and then even took it upon herself to remember the names and interact with the other pets that she wasn’t here to watch. She was one time very professional and courteous would highly recommend.”
“Rachel was a wonderful in-home dog sitter. In addition to being a perfect house guest, she was so kind and caring to my senior pup. She was communicative and left everything in perfect order. Ziggy says he would highly recommend her and would give her 6 stars if he could!”
“Erica did a fantastic job watching after my dog Jameson. She did everything she said she would do. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future. She is also a very nice and gracious person.”
“Molly was fantastic with our pup while we were on vacation! She was great with providing updates/photos, and we appreciated that she let us know of any concerns she had during her stay. And she left our home spotless. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her sit again for us.”
“Rosie was awesome. She came for a meet and greet and hung out long enough for the dogs to know her. My one dog even tried to nip her, and it didn’t scare her away! She sent updates daily, and I could tell that she was actually hanging out with them all day, opposed to some sitters I’ve had in the past. She was willing and able to give my older dog medication, and we came home to a bunch of happy animals! Will definitely use her in the future :)”
“Thank you Katelyn for taking care of our sweet boy while we enjoyed our anniversary trip. We appreciated the updates, cute pics, and having someone to snuggle with Archie while we were gone. Appreciate your help! Archie looks forward to seeing you again sometime soon.”
“Cynthia did a great job taking care of our senior dog, Luna. She communicated with us and sent us lots of pictures! She also left our house very clean and helped out with a few extra tasks which was much appreciated! We would recommend Cynthia and plan to use her again in the future! Thank you Cynthia!”
“Teneisha is wonderful! She is very patient and caring. My boy suffers separation anxiety and is very hesitant with new people, but Teneisha was there making sure he had his food and water and was well cared for. She is a very intelligent and responsible woman, who made me feel very comfortable leaving for a couple of days and not having my own anxiety about Reuben's well being. I highly recommend Teneisha!”
“Chelsea took care of our dog and two cats recently and did an amazing job. She really goes above and beyond and I will definitely ask Chelsea to help out again. Our animals have unique needs and Chelsea was able to do it all, the animals also had a great time with her!”

This is our second time having Kam sit for our two elderly pets. She is a delightful young woman and takes amazing care of our senior girls. She communicates regularly and is very responsive. Our older dog has mobility issues and she is very effective in caring for her and making sure she is happy and healthy when we get home. I can't recommend her enough, she is wonderful to work with!
Katrina May took great care of our pups! She loved them, was flexible with our schedule and followed every direction with medication administration perfectly. She is proficient in caring for animals but adds lots and lots of love and attention in as well, the perfect mix! I will ask her to help again!
Taylor was an absolute Angel! Not only did she pamper our two dogs while we were out of town on vacation, but she also came to the rescue by staying an extra day when our return flight home was canceled. She is very trustworthy and followed directions exactly as we specified. Highly recommend her for dog and house sitting.
Sarah took great care of our dog & cat! She prioritized the pets' safety and keeping them in their usual routines, which was reassuring. She texted me updates & pictures, and she was readily available and quick with her responses. Even after her stay, she checked in and offered a suggestion to help deal with my dog's irritated paws (grass allergy). I was very pleased with her service and would not hesitate to work with Sarah again!
Leila was awesome with our dog JoJo! She watched her for 4 nights and did a great job. She even stopped by a few days before we left to meet us and JoJo, which we really appreciated. While we were gone, she sent us daily updates and pictures, so we always knew JoJo was doing well. She took great care of her and also did a great job taking care of the house. She even helped water our plants, which was above and beyond! We came home to a happy dog and everything in the house just as we left it. We would definitely have Leila watch JoJo again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!
Ava recently took special care of our 14 year old senior bulldog in our home and was absolutely wonderful. She was so quick to respond and was a good communicator. She handled our pup's quirks and challenges as a complete pro, including her lack of mobility, incontinence, and senior eye upkeep. Ava's kindness and patience is everything you hope for in a sitter for a super-senior dog. She also left our house completely tidy just as we'd left it. We are lucky to have found Ava and would be thrilled to hire her again if needed!

The average cost of House Sitting in Scott Township is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $76 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 Scott Township 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 Scott Township 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 Scott Township 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
