“Ronny is the best dog sitter we've ever had! He truly cares about our pets. He keeps them active, keeps in contact with me with tons of pictures, which I love and they truly love their time with him. One got sick and Ronny never missed a beat.”
“Jaden went above and beyond to care for our 2 dogs and cat for an entire week! We all felt comfortable and safe from the first meeting and throughout the week. Excellent communication and much appreciated help!”

“This is my second time booking with Kayla and she was great again! Chloe really likes her, and she sent photo updates throughout the day, which I appreciated. when I was worried about Chloe’s eye, she responded quickly and sent photos that put me at ease. She also kept the house clean and took out the garbage, which was a nice suprise! I would absolutely book her again.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years now. I have three pups of our own and come from a family of pet lovers! Love spending time with pups and helping them keep comfortable in the comfort of their own home. I work full time in a flexible and hybrid environment. Whether the pups are with me or I am staying with the pups in the owner’s home, I make sure they are comfortable and getting all necessary activities. I will work with each pet family’s care guidelines to make sure they are getting the best and stress free care! For us, we have a fenced in yard which helps us with ongoing activities.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. I grew up with dogs and have experience with all ages, breeds, and sizes! I have a gentle and kind demeanor to not stress shy dogs, and am willing to work to gain their trust! All dogs have unique needs that I can meet, and I can assure you that your dogs’ needs will come first and you can trust that they will be safe in my care! I am currently a student on summer break from college, and am available for pet sitting and walking all days of the week at any time! I have 3 cats and 2 dogs that I feed, walk, and love on daily. I am not able to board but can assure you that I will take care of your pet just as I would my own!
“We had a great experience with Emina and Jackson. They did so good with all our dogs with their varying personalities. Also they were very accommodating when we requested an extra day. Overall great experience and would use them again.”
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
“Kayla did amazing with my dog. Usually, when I leave town, my dog gets super nervous and has accidents all over the house. Not with Kayla! She kept me updated with daily pictures, and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Shae did an amazing job with my fur babies. Made me feel at ease while I was on vacation with the daily pictures... Would definitely recommend her and I will definitely be using her services again... Thank You So Much Shae... Until next time 🐶😼😁”
About: I have raised dogs over a decade and love all breeds! Big and small. I enjoy spending time with them and playing fetch or just hanging out on the couch! I work from home so I have time on my hands to meet each pets needs. I can give potty breaks or play fetch outside I have friendly dogs in my home and a fenced in yard outside. I also have crates if that’s what your pet is used to
About: I've been dog, cat, and baby sitting since I was 12 years old (I'm 25 now). I guess I've always had a nurturing quality about me😄. I've grown up with many pets, (dogs, rabbit, turtle, hamsters, degus, etc...) and love to give them the best care, because they deserve it! Currently I have a 5 year old pup named Muffin. She is the sweetest girl in the world! Currently she's visiting my parents (her grand-pawrents🥹) who she loves sooo much. I miss her DEARLY but I will pour that love into your fur baby instead!❤️ My schedule is open at the moment, and I'm ready to care for your precious pups. I'm flexible with my time, and if you have specific care requests, so feel free to reach out with any questions/requests. I will put the safety of your pup first, in all situations. I don't crate pups, I don't let pups go up to others when on walks, or take them to dog parks (unless desired by owner). I keep the pup leashed at all times outside, unless otherwise stated by the owner. I have had no accidents while pet sitting, and do not intend to. You and your pups safety and happiness are my top priority. If your pup wants pets for an hour, I'll pet them for an hour, if they want to play fetch or other games, I'll do that! I just want to ensure your pup is well loved and cared for.
About: I have loved animals my entire life. At 8 years old, I got my first kitten and have been caring for animals of all kinds since then. I've even successfully hatched praying mantises! I have handled special needs animals, including cancer patients, and I am a quick learner. Happy to administer meds and do basic grooming as well (brushing, nail trims) if your animal is cooperative. I love cats, dogs, bunnies, and reptiles and am open to sitting for most any creature. As an entrepreneur, I am super flexible, so I can almost always work with your scheduling needs unless I'm traveling for an event. I can even make multiple visits per day or do overnight pet/house sitting. I am an avid cuddler and will be your pet's ultimate companion while you're gone. I am highly empathic and am currently studying feline reflexology. Your animal's comfort and serenity are as much of a top priority to me as their physical needs. I will love your baby as much as you do and will do my absolute best to keep them happy and safe for you. After all, animals are family. 🫶🏼
“Tabby was an exceptional house/dog sitter who accepted a last minute request for Thanksgiving week. I was thankful the previous dog sitter cancelled b/c I am so fortunate to find her. She would send daily updates, ask thoughtful questions and so many other little things that really added up (collecting mail, keeping up with my Xmas countdown, making the bed to it looked like a hotel bed, leaving the house looking as if no one was there at all). See? She was all around the perfect dog sitter. On top of all of that I felt so comfortable with her. She has a way of making you feel like you’ve known her a lot longer than you have. It was refreshing to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away for Thanksgiving. I can’t say enough good things about her! 10/10 recommend and will absolutely book with her again.”
About: I’ve always had animals of all kinds. I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, reptiles, and fish! I’m well versed in giving medication to all sorts of animals, and I do best with quiet or skittish animals that need some extra patience I have a lovely part time job working on dog-friendly farms with a flexible schedule, so I’m available most of the time for pet care with minimal heads up! For boarding I have a yard with a long line for potty breaks, a private dog park with 24/7 access, two state parks within 20 minutes of me for hiking, and a 1,300 sq ft house with tons of toys and the ability to section my house off if pets need their personal space. I also have a friends farm I love to walk pets at as there’s no ‘public’! In the clients home I match care instructions to the letter as well as see if I can get the pet to interact with the toys and space available.

Thank you for peace of mind, Kyla! Leaving my girls is the most nerve-wracking thing for me. Kyla gave lots of updates and photos. The girls looked very happy. When we got home they were acting normally, excited to see us and not at all stressed, which is not usually the case, so I know they enjoyed having Kyla stay with them. They can be a handful sometimes. We have not had a lot of luck with a sitter being reliable so extremely thankful! We will definitely book Kyla again.
Our furry Boys seem to have enjoyed Ryan's company. Ryan took care of them and our home, kept in touch with me, he was flexible and concerned about making sure he was meeting our needs. The Boys were relaxed when we got home which tells me they were well tended to. We will definitely book Ryan again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Strinestown is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $83 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 Strinestown 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 Strinestown 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 Strinestown 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.
