“Abbey house sat for our lab mix Finn for 6 days on pretty short notice. Finn is a very anxious dog when meeting new people and Abby was quickly able to get his trust. She was very responsive and everything went very well.”
“I love that Aimee came for a very thorough "meet n greet". Aimee was wonderful with our two dogs. They warmed up to her immediately. She always got back to me as soon as I texted her. Thank you Aimee for allowing me to feel as ease right away with leaving our babies. Overall positive experience. Thank you.”
“Lauren did an awesome job caring for our pup! She was very attentive to her needs and was very trustworthy staying in our home. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her services again in the future!”
“Trinity did an amazing job with my special needs Great Dane (blind/deaf). And putting me at ease while I needed to be away for a work trip. She's calm, cool, collected, and very kind. Thank you so much!”
“Kari and Clint were/are the very best dog sitters and chicken sitters. My pups were well cared for, and one of them is an handful. And Clint also took very good care of my chickens. They are looking plump and content. Kari even restocked the chicken treats when they ran out. They must researched chicken treats. How else would they know to buy giant bag of mealy worms!! And the house look wonderful.. kitchen's was spotless… cleaner than when we left. And she stocked the fridge with the essentials, bread and milk, before she left. We received many pictures while we were away. We were reassured our dogs and hens were safe and sound and cared for.”
About: Hi! My name is Michelle, and I’m a Registered Veterinary Technician who graduated from Purdue University in May 2026. I’ve been pet sitting for the past five years, with four of those years backed by the veterinary knowledge and hands on experience I’ve gained throughout my education and career. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of animals and truly love caring for them. I would be happy to provide your fur babies with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! 🐾❤️ My typical work schedule is Monday–Friday from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. I’m available for pet care before or after work during the week, and I have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule to make sure they receive the care and attention they need! I care for each pet according to their individual needs, personality, and routine. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and potty schedules to help keep them comfortable and stress free while their owners are away. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, while also keeping a close eye on their behavior and overall wellbeing. As a Registered Veterinary Technician, I have additional experience recognizing changes in a pet’s health and know when something may need extra attention. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care!
“Jessie was great! She took great care of our dog and home. Highly recommend for your house sitting and pup sitting needs. Looking forward to having her back when we take our family vacation.”
“Mirabella did an amazing job watching Nala and Nash! She is reliable, communicative, and sweet. Our dogs were looking for her when we got home and missed her already. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Five Stars!!”
“Having Ally house sit for a week was a great experience! She was very easy to work with, sent a photo and update daily (and I’m sure would have sent more if I requested it) and took great care of my pup and the house - even did some tasks above and beyond what was asked to keep things nice. I would definitely recommend Ally!”
“Kendra was great with Jocko! She brought her golden along (she asked if it was ok first) and Jocko and Birdie seemed to have a great time together. She sent plenty of updates and was very personable. We highly recommend Kendra.”
About: I am dog mom and they are my pride and joy. I have had dogs since I was very young. Currently, I have a huge fenced-in (7 ft fence) backyard if your pup would like to come over and play! I also live in a little neighborhood that is perfect for walks but I would be more than happy to walk around your area. I am an animal lover! I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I don't have as much experience with cats but have done drop in visits for many clients that have went great. I recently took in a pregnant stray kitty and took care of her through her delivery and the mama and her babies all great homes. So although I have not personally had a cat, I have some great experience. I love to take walks, go to parks, cuddle, and play with my dogs. I would love to help you out and meet yours! Being around animal and helping people are the two things that bring me the most joy in life. I can assure you your loved ones would be more than safe and cared for with me! I am very observant, reliable and would watch over your baby like they are my own. They may be a little spoiled by the end (if you approve of course) but overall they will be so well taken care! Personally, it is so hard for me to leave my two pups and when I'm gone, I worry about them so I know how hard it is to trust someone to keep your babies safe as well as happy and loved. I will always do the absolute most to make sure they are taken care of and happy. It is so important to me that all animals are safe and in good hands, as I believe they are family! I look forward to hearing from you :) I work Monday through Friday but I am usually home by 4/4:30pm, so I am free in the evenings and I am definitely free on the weekends if you need me. If you around my work location, I can stop in during the day. Messaging me is the easiest way to check my availability for your needs! At my home, I have a huge fenced in backyard (7ft fence) and my little yorkies cannot get out of the yard so I think any breed would be safe to run freely in my backyard. I have tons of treats and bowls for food and water! I only have two small cages inside but have a larger (5ftx5ft) kennel in our backyard as well. If I am coming to a clients home, I can drop in anytime to let your pets outside or just stop by to feed and water them as well as play times and walks! I love spending time with animals and making sure they are well taken care of so I am open to just about any service!
“Hannah has been great to watch our dog multiple times when we are out of town. She is reliable with good communication throughout the stay. We will continue to reach out to her!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our furr babies!! Thank you for being so trust worthy and communicative. I knew they were in good hands and was able to relax while out of town. Also, thank you for taking care of the house. Will book again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received! When I got home, my cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also went above and beyond by taking out all of our trash before we returned, which was such a thoughtful surprise. It’s the little things like that that make a huge difference. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!”
About: I've had dogs for over 12 years and have been volunteering at local shelter for two years. Dogs are my passion. I love spending time with them. The only reason I don't have any at this time is because I travel a lot. My hours are currently very flexible. I have time during the week and on weekend and I am available upon short notice to sit or walk your dog. I have no pets of my own currently. I will happily watch your dog at your house or walk it in your neighborhood where it's comfortable.
About: Hello, I'm Madison! I am an experienced, reliable, and caring petsitter who cannot wait to meet your furry friends! Growing up, I had cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, rabbits, and birds. This has given me experience with all types of animals and grown my passion for working with them. I am very flexible with my schedule, and will follow any and all routines your pets may have. Have peace of mind when leaving, whether that be for work or for a long vacation, cause I will treat your pets as if they are my own! I currently work full-time from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in New Castle, Indiana. I will be available before and after this, as well as most weekends. Your pet's safety is my number one priority! All routines and special instructions will be followed to a T, and I will treat your home with the utmost respect. Additionally, I will provide you with pictures and updates when you are away. If in my home, it would contain two of the sweetest cats that you can ever meet. They have experience around dogs, cats, and children, and are great around all. I have a safe environment where all pets can be themselves and feel comfortable in. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friends!

FAQs for House Sitting - Spiceland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 762 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Spiceland. 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 Spiceland 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 Spiceland 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Spiceland 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Spiceland. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
