“One of the best sitters I have had. Frequent updates, followed all instructions, went above and beyond. Dash was happy, well cared for, fed, clean, and loved. I felt completely at ease leaving him with Shannon.”
“Sitter extraordinaire! Look no further….Brooke is a gold 5 star caregiver! I can be a serious worrier when it comes to the caregiving of our almost 12 year old cockapoo, Rosie. With Brooke, I put those worries to rest. I knew immediately that Rosie would be loved, enjoyed and cared for as if Brooke had known her forever——-Rosie knew too! She gave Rosie her complete attention, wanted to know the details of her everyday life to make it easier for her. I knew I could relax leaving Rosie in her care to enjoy an almost 2 week vacation with my children and grandchildren. Brooke sends photos and sweet updates almost daily. We had a serious complication with our return trip home that Brooke handled with such mature kindness and understanding offering to stay longer if it would help and answering all my worried texts. I also came home to laundry done, bed linens washed and bed freshly made and my home spotless. Brooke is the sitter I will always call on for all travel. A genuine 5 gold stars caregiver sitter! Thank you, thank you, Brooke!”
“Ceone was amazing with my dog and cat while I was out of town! She sent photos and videos daily to update me on how they were doing. She took my dog on walks and to the dog park for plenty of exercise and play time. She allowed them to sleep with her as well! She even cleaned up a bit before leaving which was so kind of her! I definitely recommend her!”
“Gloria was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond with caring for my dogs and looking after them. I’ve had other sitters in the past but Gloria really is to my standards. She even cleaned the dog bowls and sent pictures of the dogs. I really appreciated everything she did :)”
“Michele stayed with our dogs for a week and took such great care of them (and our home!). She is caring, thoughtful, and thorough. We will definitely hire her again in the future. Highly recommended for your pet sitting needs!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I've owned and cared for dogs since I was 8 years old and have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, personalities, and temperaments. Along with dogs, I've cared for cats throughout my life and have completed extended cat-sitting assignments lasting up to 8 months. My animal experience doesn't stop there—I have also cared for exotic pets, including lizards, reptiles, and birds, and have owned birds myself. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I pride myself on adapting my care to each pet's personality and routine. One of my specialties is working with larger reactive dogs. As the owner of a reactive dog myself, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, reading body language, and maintaining a safe environment. Safety is something I take extremely seriously—for your pet, for myself, and for everyone around us. I always follow owner instructions carefully and prioritize responsible handling practices during walks, drop-ins, and house sits. Over the years, I've provided house-sitting and drop-in care for many friends and their pets, giving me experience adapting to different homes, schedules, and care requirements. Whether your pet needs a high-energy play session, medication reminders, quiet companionship, or a structured routine, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. As an added bonus, my apartment complex has a dog washing station available for baths if requested. I also love building genuine bonds with the animals I care for and occasionally leave owner-approved treats or small gifts for pets I've gotten to know well. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or scaled family members! My schedule is perfect for pet care throughout the week! I'm available on weekdays before 10:00 AM and again after 5:00 PM for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. On weekends, I have open availability and can provide care at any time of day. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible, whether they need an early morning visit, evening care, or multiple check-ins throughout the day. Feel free to reach out with your needs, and I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule! I provide pet care directly in your home, helping your pet stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you're away. This includes drop-in visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, and any other routine care your pet needs. Staying in their own home helps reduce stress for pets, especially cats and animals that do better with consistency. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to make sure everything stays as close to their normal routine as possible while you're gone.
“Ken took such good care of our boy Hamlet. He’s just such a natural around dogs and is funny to boot. Very jovial and attentive with a great sense of humor. He gave us updates for each time he checked in Hamlet on each day with a report on meal time, potty breaks, and play time. Also sent cute pictures! Ken clearly loves dogs and shows that in his care for them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.”
“Jessica was a terrific pet and house sitter!! She was very attentive to our dogs' needs and went the extra mile to accommodate our schedule. She came early, stayed late and left the house in perfect condition. The fact that her day job involves working remotely was an added bonus. Our pups were well cared for, happy and healthy. We will definitely be using Jessica again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years and truly love making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Before getting my own dog, Kira, I cared for a Shih Tzu and an English Springer Spaniel in my home, including taking them on walks and giving them lots of attention. I’ve now cared for my Maltipoo, Kira, for four years and have taught her potty-pad training since I got her when she was only 3 months old, leash training, and different tricks. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I always make it my priority to give every dog the same love, patience, and care I give my own! My schedule is fairly flexible since I currently work part-time, although my work schedule varies from day to day and isn’t the same every week. Because of this, my availability depends on my work schedule, but I’m able to plan around it and communicate my availability in advance. I’m especially available on weekends and can often accommodate walks, drop-ins, and in-home pet care. I’m always happy to communicate my availability in advance and make sure I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve! When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I’ll provide fresh food and water, take them on walks or give them playtime and attention, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable throughout my visit. I also understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owner. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same patience, care, and love I would give my own.
“Taje was so amazing caring for our three dogs for a week. She sent daily pictures and communicated as much or as little as we wanted every day. We had special circumstances where one dog had to be consistently separated from another, and she handled that special situation with professionalism and expertise. Our house was cleaner than we left it (amazing considering how much our dog sheds!), and we had not one worry while we were away. We plan to use Taje again anytime we leave our house in the future!!”
“Ana was great! It was a last minute booking and she asked all the right questions to make me feel comfortable leaving my dogs. She spent so much time with them and followed all of my (many) instructions to a tee. Very much recommend!”
“Lauren was wonderful! A true expert, she was fantastic with our very large puppy. We got just the right amount of communication to know our girl was well cared for without feeling guilty for not bringing her on vacation. Our pup absolutely LOVED being at home instead of boarding and we'll definitely reach out to Lauren again!”
“Omar was a house sitter for our dog and cat on relatively short notice due to a sudden death of a close relative. Omar was flexible and communicated very well with us. We greatly appreciated the morning and evening pictures of both pets. Highly recommended and we will be a repeat customer.”
“Kenia was absolutely wonderful, and I would book with her again without hesitation. This was my first time having someone stay overnight in my home, so I was naturally a little nervous, but she immediately put me at ease with her communication and professionalism. She respected my home and my space exactly as we discussed, followed every instruction carefully, and even took initiative when appropriate without needing to be asked. She kept me updated throughout the stay with messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, Luna was well cared for, happy, and comfortable when I returned. It was clear that Kenia genuinely cared about making sure both my dog and my home were well taken care of. I truly appreciated her thoughtfulness, reliability, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Kenia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, respectful, and caring pet sitter!”
“Vivian was great! Daisy and Kevin were very happy and could not stop wagging their tails about all the fun they had. Vivian was super responsive and sent us regular updates with pics. I would highly recommend Vivian for your precious pets.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Seneca is €50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Seneca
Raquel was amazing with our high energy dog! She was friendly, detail oriented, asked lots of questions at our meet and greet, reached out if she had any questions or concerns during her stay, shared photos while we were away, and took great care of our fur baby and our home. I highly recommend Raquel if you need a top-notch dog sitter!
Lindsey was so great with our boy Waffles. She took great care of him and was attentive to his needs, as he can be a bit anxious especially around thunderstorms. She was incredibly communicative, which we really enjoyed since we missed him while we were away. We would definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 10,364 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Seneca. 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 Seneca 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 Seneca 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 Seneca 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.
