“Shayna was great. We had a lot happening while we were away and it was good to know Shayna had it all covered. Our two dogs are always well cared for and our house is neat and tidy when we return.”
“Dana took excellent care of my girl. She communicated well throughout. It was clear Ellie was loved and well cared for in my absence. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I provide attentive, Active & Reliable pet care. have owned dogs for the last 15 years, and have two active dogs of my own. I have cared for colleagues and friends' dogs, with experience caring for senior dogs and training puppies. I have flexible hours in my full time job and work from home 2-3 days per week. I love to be active so any excuse for an extra walk is welcome ;) Drop in visits and dog walking are preferred but I can provide house sitting or boarding with advanced notice. I am attentive and active, and love a detailed care list to follow!
“his was our first time working with Daiana, and we truly have nothing but wonderful things to say! From the initial meet-and-greet, both of our dogs were immediately comfortable, excited, and happy to spend time with her. Throughout our weekend away, Daiana kept us updated consistently and made sure the dogs got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. The moment we got home, it was obvious our pups had been incredibly well cared for. We would highly recommend Daiana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, whether for big dogs, small dogs, or anything in between.”
“Kaylin took care of our big fluffy guy for a long weekend and we couldn’t have been happier! Leo was exercised to the fullest every day and we loved all the picture updates :) our home was in perfect condition when we came home. We will definitely be using Kaylin again in the future!”
About: I professionally worked with dogs for 3 years and have experience working with all types of dogs large and small, high energy and mellow, social and shy. I’m well acquainted with administering medication orally and topically. High quality photos during our time will also be provided :) It’s a priority of mine to respect your home and leave your home just as it was when you left and with a happy dog when you return! NOTE: I do not accept 90+ lb dogs that are known to pull/get riled up by environmental factors. I am pretty small myself so I cannot safely handle such dogs. This is for the safety of both your pup and me! Thanks for checking my profile! As of now, I am currently unemployed and Rover is my main gig. That means more time and availability for you and your pup! If this changes it will be reflected here. I will always treat your home and your pet with utmost care and respect. ❤️ I’m in tune with reading dog behavior and language and can adjust my manner to whatever is needed to make your pet comfortable and happy.
“Susan was an amazing dogsitter! It was a last-minute request, and she was so accommodating, kind, and great with Cleo, who had some anxiety at first. Susan was patient with Cleo, and they eventually warmed up to each other! We got amazing updates with photos, and Susan was an awesome house guest, too. We can’t wait for her to watch Cleo for us again!”
“Robin was amazing and so easy to work with. She made me feel at ease while I was out of town. I know she treated my animals as if they were her own and I highly recommend her!”
“Isabella is prompt, reliable, communicates quickly and took great care of the pooches while we were away. They have found a new friend and can't wait for us to use Isabelle again.”
“Lia was absolutely awesome pet sitting our dog, Timber, while we were away for six days! She was incredibly attentive and responsive the entire time, which gave us total peace of mind. When we got home, Timber was normal, completely relaxed, and happy. We couldn't have asked for better care and will definitely hire Lia again. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs throughout my life and have grown up with family pets since I was young. Through years of daily pet care, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, routines, giving attention, and recognizing when pets need extra care or patience. I’m dependable, organized, and take responsibility seriously. As a recent high school graduate preparing to study abroad this fall, I’m looking to help local families by providing attentive and reliable pet care throughout the summer. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I work to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve grown up helping care for our family dog for many years. I’m used to planning around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and making sure pets receive attention throughout the day. This summer I have a flexible schedule outside of my part-time work, which allows me to provide dependable care and communicate consistently with pet owners. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks and quality time with pets fit well into my routine. I understand how important consistency is for animals and do my best to maintain each pet’s normal schedule and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their usual routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, bathroom breaks, medication instructions (if applicable), and any house rules. I also make sure owners receive updates and photos so they feel connected while away. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, calm environment with supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, water access, and lots of attention. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level and adjust activities to what helps them feel relaxed. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel comfortable, respected, and confident in my care.
About: Hi there!! My name is Jillian, but you can call me Jill for short. I’ve had animals all my life, from horses, dogs, and cats all the way down to guinea pigs, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have two cats of my own, one of whom is special needs, so I understand that every pet has unique personalities and needs. I am equally a dog person as I am a cat person, and everything in between! Thank you for considering me as your pet’s step-in mom, and I hope to meet you and your furry friend(s) soon!! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which I know many people aren’t fortunate to have. Whether you need someone to stop by and let your pup out while you’re at work or care for your kitties while you’re away, I’m your go-to gal! I have 2 cats that live in my apartment, and at this time I am not available for boarding in my home, just drop in visits.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Severance
Haley was amazing with our two babies! She kept us up to date with everything that she was doing with them and sent us pictures as well! My beagle is very anxious and gets nervous and scared easily, Haley did an awesome job making sure she was comfortable! Thank you again!
Lexie is amazing!! She was punctual and responsive with all communication, our meet & greet and for our booking. She stayed at our home with our 3 dogs and cat and treated them like they were her own. She had no issues giving meds and dealing with personality quirks. Our animals loved her. Our house was immaculate when we got home. We will definitely hire her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Severance on Rover is $47.87 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 1,533 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Severance. 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 Severance 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 Severance 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 Severance 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.

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.
