“Pamela did an excellent job caring for our dog. We felt confident knowing he was in good hands while we were away. She made sure he was fed, had fresh, clean water every day, and even gave him a daily treat. We truly appreciated her care and attention and would gladly recommend Pamela to others.”
“Absolute professional! Could not have picked a better dog, cat, house sitter. She is also a dog trainer and groomer. The dog and cat loved her and we think they were disappointed to see us...lol.”
“Lauren is amazing! She communicated regularly and sent pictures to us throughout our vacation. Our dog was well cared for and happy when we got home. We will absolutely book with Lauren again and recommend her to our friends!”
“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.”
“Baleigh took fantastic care of our four-legged daughter while we were out of town. Asked all the right questions about her care, watched the house while we were away, was clean neat professional, fantastic communication. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. I highly recommend Baleigh for all your pet and house sitting needs!!!”
“Angela was amazing! She took great care of our dog, three cats and chickens. We are always nervous to leave our little family behind when we travel, but Angela was very responsive and we knew they were safe and in good hands. We'll be going to Angela for help whenever we can. We cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I have always had a love for animals! Finally getting my very own dog at nine years old only strengthened that love and made me more passionate. Along with caring for my own dog, I also help care for my boyfriend's three cats! Being around both dogs and cats has given me an even greater appreciation for all their different personalities, needs, and little quirks. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, keeping up with their routines, or simply giving them some company, I love making sure they're happy and comfortable. I am passionate about making sure every animal has a loving home and feels genuinely safe, happy, and adored. I truly believe animals are like people in their own special way. My dream is to one day create an animal sanctuary where I can give all unhoused animals a safe place to call home. My best friend, Crystal (who you may see dressed up all nicely in my pictures!), is a huge part of my life and one of my biggest reasons for doing what I do. Making sure she's enjoying her day is always a priority. She loves listening to rock music with me and will even do a silly little dance along! Of course, your pet doesn't have to love rock music for me to care for them, and I promise I won't subject them to a concert unless they're into it :D Whether your pet loves long walks, cozy cuddles, playing with toys, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I'll do my best to make their time with me special. Even better if your pet happens to enjoy wearing a silly little costume, I'd melt. I am a college student with an easy schedule and on college leave for my job! I have plenty of time on my hands to make your pets feel adored. I will ensure your dog follows their feeding schedule and instructions that were left for me. I adore pets so I will definitely be spending all my time with your fluffy family member!
“Adrianna is great! Our fur babies are very clingy and demand a lot of attention ? they loved hanging out with her and they hardly even missed us! Would definitely rebook in the future.”
“Darlene was an absolute joy to work with with our housesitting and dog sitting. Beyond the fact that she’s a very responsible friend, friendly and experienced person that everyone can trust she’s a really nice person just to get to know as well.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our fur babies received from Jenna! She stayed overnight and took wonderful care of them, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pets were loved, comfortable, and well cared for. We also came home to a spotless house, which was such a nice bonus. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. We already have her booked again for our next trip!”
About: Your pets are treated like family. Spoiled, respected, and kept safe at all times. Playtime and peace of mind are important to you. I know as a pet parent myself. I grew up with dogs my whole life. I have trained some since they were a puppy. Others I have trained as a rescue or later in life that needed another chance or change in behavior from food agression. I am very keen on checking a dog's body language to make sure they are comfortable and reading cues that could lead to aggression and diverting a situation before it escalates. Keeping them and others safe is a priority. I can accommodate if you have new pets that need slow introductions to one another or need separated during feeding times. I am in the medical field, and I am comfortable giving eyedrops, eardrops, and additional medication as needed. I also have good attention to detail if there is something that may need further evaluation with your pet. I can also brush your pet or their teeth if allowed by them and by special request. All of my pets are on flea/tick prevention and up to date on vaccines. I am happy to give them as many pets and attention as they want. I work until 2:30pm 5 days a week. I can be available in the evenings, and on my days off. I work occasional weekends. I can take your pet out on walks, play in the house, or in the backyard for potty breaks. Whatever is most convenient for you. I'll always check and make sure the collar or harness is fitting appropriately so they won't slip out and be safe.
About: I’m a fur mama of 4 beautiful babies! I’ve had a dog/pets since I was a toddler. I love all animals. They’re honest, loyal and good, thru and thru. I was a professional dog bather at my part time job after my long career at Lake City Army Ammunition Plant. All animals love me, some take a second to warm up, but I love earning their trust. My main girl that passed last June I wear in an urn necklace right next to the charm with my own mother’s ashes. I have so many stickers on my truck of my babies and anything fur baby related. One says, abuse an animal, go to jail. I couldn’t agree more, unless there’s a harsher punishment available, then I choose that. Animals are my life. Anything I can do for any animal in need, I’m doing it. And doing it with love. With that, I give you my word. Pet care IS my life. At work. Definitely at home with our 5 fur babies, and if I see a baby in need, I jump at the chance to help. Pet care is an honor and it brings me so much happiness and joy in my heart. Honestly, I wait on them hand and foot, and I love it. Any need, any time, I’m on it! And nothing could make me happier. I live to love and care for them. And I do it well. It’s my gift.
About: As a proud dog mom to a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever, I know firsthand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and needs! From energetic walks and endless games of fetch to couch cuddles and belly rubs, I love making sure every pup feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. Having two large dogs of my own has given me plenty of experience managing different energy levels, personalities, and routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I promise to treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I’m also more than happy to send plenty of pictures and updates along the way, because I know how much it means to see your babies happy while you’re away! I work in marketing and have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! As a dog mom to two pups of my own, walks, playtime, and plenty of love are already part of my everyday life. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits, as well as weekends, depending on availability. I know how important it is to keep pets on their usual schedules, so I’ll always do my best to work around their routines and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve! I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their favorite humans are away! Since I offer care in your home, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and walks to medications, playtime, and any special preferences your pet may have. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while respecting their boundaries. I also understand that you’re trusting me with both your furry family member and your home, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly! I’ll treat your space with care, prioritize your pet’s safety, and send regular pictures and updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“Saige was so wonderful while we were gone! She took excellent care of our pups, sent pictures and updates! I will definitely be using her again. Such a peace of mind having her here.”
“Jessica was such a wonderful dog sitter for us! Our dog was so well taken care of, and got lots of walks at various parks. Jessica is an excellent communicator and sent us photos while we were away. We returned to a clean house and a happy pup. We can't thank her enough!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sugar Creek
Emma has now watched our “zoo” twice while we’ve been out of town and she has done a great job both times! We fully plan to continue using her for all future needs, as long as she’s available. And we would highly recommend her to anyone else, especially those with lots of pets.
It was such a relief knowing Samantha was at our home caring for our dogs while we were away. She shared photos of the dogs that showed how happy they were, and she seemed to truly enjoy spending tune with them! When unexpected heavy rains hit, she made sure that ask us where towels were to clean off paws. She even mopped the house prior to leaving, going above and beyond our expectations! We definitely recommend Samantha for in-home care of your pets. We hope to book with her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sugar Creek is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $59 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Sugar Creek 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 Sugar Creek 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 Sugar Creek 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 Sugar Creek. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
