“Brianna took great care of my pup while I was away for a long weekend! She gave plenty of updates including pictures and videos, and ensured my home was cleaned and well kept when I returned.”
“Kate communicated well and often when house sitting with my 2 dogs. She seemed patient and empathetic with my elderly dog. The house looked great when we got home and while away I was happy to see pics texted to me of them going for walks, which they love!”
“Carly did a wonderful job with our two pups! If we had some changes to our schedule and she accommodated us perfectly! Would definitely recommend Carly and we will certainly be using her services again!”
“Amanda did an absolutely fantastic job house sitting with my pets. She sent so many sweet pictures and videos of the dogs and cat. Everyone was happy and loved her being there. Such a relief to be able to go somewhere and know I don’t have to worry about them. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Having Camryn as your sitter is the best thing that could happen to you furry babies. She’s so nice and patient with my Princess Bee. Thank you again for hanging out with Bee during this blizzard and wind chills temperature.”
“Kaitlyn took excellent care of our dogs for multiple nights while we were out of town. Our boys absolutely love her, which is a testament to the level of care she gave them. Even when one of our dogs had a medical emergency while she was watching them, Kaitlyn kept her cool and shared updates with us while waiting at the ER. We will absolutely be asking her to watch our dogs again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 11. My first dog was a shi tzu so I’m ready to work with pets at any care level. I currently work a full time job but most of my weekends are free for house sitting. And I can fit walks into Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. I always make sure to ask questions about your pets schedule and care routine. I also make sure the pet is comfortable around me before we work together.
“I was so impressed with Sarah. Amazing communication. Izzy normally avoids care givers liked Sarah and the pets were relaxed when we returned and our house was immaculate. So impressed!!”
About: I have worked with cats, dogs, reptiles and rodents; both my own pets, long term house and pet minding and short term pet sitting. I have experience administering liquid and solid oral medications to cats and dogs, maintenance grooming long and short haired dogs and cats, and managing simple and complex feeding routines(even ones that involve unique habits pets develop with their owners). I love walking dogs and can play with pets until they're over it. I'm currently between jobs but I will always be available from 8:00pm to 7:00am as well as all day Sundays and Saturdays. I may be able to work quicker visits into my workday as long as they aren't too far from my job. With my attention to detail and desire to provide your pets the same stability you give them, I read instructions thoroughly and ask questions if clarification is ever needed to ensure accurate communication and proper care.
“Hailey is an excellent sitter!! She is so good with our dogs, especially one who is very human-selective! She sent us pictures to ease our minds and was super flexible, friendly and easy going. Completely trust her with our doggos!”
“Savannah has watched my dog in the past, and I know he is well loved while I’m gone. Both my dog and I are so excited when she is able to come stay with him. I look forward to booking Savannah for future stays!”
“We are so grateful to have found Christine. She is AMAZING sitter. You could tell pups were very well taken care of. This was first time having sitter at our place and I was definitely anxious. She sent us updates with photos throughout and ensure that one of my pup got medication he needed on time daily. She is kind, communicative, responsible. Can’t recommend her enough. We had a lovely trip knowing that pups were in good hands. Thank you Christine!!!”
“Sana is the best! My apartment is always in great shape and I can tell from the pictures she sends that my cats love her. She is a really good communicator and definitely my first choice to watch my cats whenever I am out of town.”
“Robert was amazing! I was very grateful he was able to watch Buzz & Layla for a couple days on such short notice. He always kept me updated with plenty of pictures of them while I was gone of them smiling and playing.I knew my dogs were in good hands and would highly recommend Robert for those in the area!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Solon on Rover is $28.86 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 337 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Solon. 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 Solon 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 Solon 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 Solon 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.
