“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!”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two Dachshunds and treated them like they were her own. Her professionalism and clear communication gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that her experience really shows—she knew exactly how to keep my pups happy and comfortable. I would definitely use her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Natalie once again did a house sit for us. She took great care of our senior toy poodle and our cat. We got daily updates and pictures while we away. Thanks again!”
“Gemma did an amazing job watching Jacks and Mia. She checked in regularly and sent videos and pictures to keep me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. She took them on nice walks and made sure they were happy and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond .”
“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!”
“Kennedy was awesome. She was there for us when we had to book last minute because the person who was supposed to watch our dog bailed unexpectedly. She was receptive, considerate, kind, and communicative. I should mention that our baby is an English Bulldog. Kennedy understands the different needs of brachiocephalic breeds. And she was able to go that extra mile for us to properly care for our fur baby!”
“Kristie is always reliable, dependable and a great friend to our chocolate lab Maya who has some anxiety. Thanks again Kristie for helping Maya feel so comfortable especially on the fourth of July holiday with all the fireworks!”
“My Lucky is very spoiled and Lindsey did a great job with him! From keeping him on his schedule to judging if he needed allergy meds, she was attentive to his needs. She kept me informed of what was happening and sent pics, which helped to put my mind at ease and made my trip more enjoyable, knowing I didn't have to worry about him. Lucky obviously trusted her and didn't hesitate to cuddle with her:) I also came home to an immaculate house, which was great after being away for 12 days. I will definitely be calling on Lindsey in the future!!”
“Cassie was awesome! We needed a last minute sitter, and she was super flexible with our short notice. Our pup immediately loved her too, and she was great about keeping in touch with us throughout her visit. I highly recommend!”
About: I’m not just someone who “likes dogs”. I grew up with a Golden Retriever. From puppy energy to senior comfort, I’ve been around it all. I’ve also cared for larger, strong-willed breeds like a Rhodesian Ridgebacks and cane corsos…so I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. Whether your dog needs structure, patience, or just someone who can match their energy, I adapt to what they need. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I pay attention to routines, behavior changes, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have been a caretaker and dog sitter for a few years. Needless to say, taking care of people’s loved-ones comes second nature to me. My night shift schedule at the VA allows me to be available all day to give your pet the attentive care that he/she needs including keeping them company, letting them out for potty breaks, walks,feeds,etc. With house-sitting, I will leave your home the way you left it. I will ensure that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-fed. I will observe your pets closely. If I notice anything “off” about your pets, you will be notified immediately so that appropriate action is taken if needed.
About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. I love staying active and going on walks so I can adjust to your pets needs and wants. I have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats, old and young. I am a graduate student so on off days I am able to spend time just hanging out with the animals as needed. I am currently attending graduate school. I am completely free most weekends and Mondays with a few exceptions. I am available to stay nights for dog sitting and am free in the late afternoons all week. I can follow any instructions given for each pet. I know each pet may have different needs and can adjust as needed. If pets have routines I will work my best to ensure to keep them on track and can crate in needed.
“Hannah is responsive and communicated well. She was available on short notice and was able to do a meet and greet prior to watching the gals this weekend. She sent pictures and updates and left the house as she found it.”
“Katrina treated my dogs just like her own… She took the best care of them, communicated with me throughout my trip, and my gut instinct told me that they were in the best hands. For once my instincts were right! My 15 year old pitbull, Romeo, could not have been happier when I came home. He looked even younger than when I left, I swear! And my sweet and sassy and very smart pit - husky mix, Jade, was calm & serene when i came home.. I could tell that they had gotten amazing care and a ton of love. She took them on wonderful walks, whether it was raining or not, and she made sure to ask any questions that she had. I can’t think of anything that she could’ve done better… I feel so fortunate to have had her as my sitter. I don’t think I will ever use anyone else unless she isn’t available. I can’t recommend her highly enough. And as a dog groomer and vet tech for 12 years, I have high standards for care. She exceeded my standards & expectations. Thank you so much, from Romeo, Josie and Jade. We can’t wait to see you next time!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including energetic and reactive dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, giving medications, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I work a regular weekday schedule, so I’m primarily available for pet sitting, walks, and drop-ins in the evenings and on weekends I am available whenever. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule and can discuss availability in advance for longer stays or special requests. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while they’re in my care. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crates, and other routines. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own and will keep you updated while you’re away
“We had the absolute best experience with Kaylee as our dog and cat sitter! She took such amazing care of our pets and made being away from home completely stress-free. She sent us tons of pictures and regular updates, which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. It was clear from every update that our pets were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. On top of being wonderful with our pets, Kaylee was incredibly respectful of our home. We came back to the house cleaner and neater than we left it, which was such a pleasant surprise! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% book Kaylee again in a heartbeat! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, communicative, and responsible to watch their pets and home”
About: Hi I’m Allyson! I love all kinds of animals, I’ve taken care of every kind ever since I was 9. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets while I have fun doing it! Every pet I meet has a special place in my heart ♥️ My schedule is flexible right now which gives me more time to pickup a side work to take care of your lovely pets! :) 🐾 I have a quiet home with one cat at our friendly neighborhood. I’ll always keep an eye and care for your pet when I visit/walk/feed them.

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.

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.
