“Michelle was wonderful! It was our first time doing any kind of dog sitting that wasn’t family/friends and she made us feel so comfortable with the whole process! She stayed at our house for a few nights with our two dogs, one of which is pretty skittish and she did great with both of them. She kept us updated during our whole trip and sent pictures each day. She was quick to respond to any messages from start to finish. We are very happy with how things went and would definitely use Michelle again if she’s available when we go away!”

“Madolyn was absolutely amazing with Lola and Ocho! I was a little nervous leaving them, but she made me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. She was attentive, caring, and treated both of them like they were her own. She did a great job keeping up with their different personalities and needs, and I could tell they were both so comfortable and happy with her. She kept me updated while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Madolyn to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and loving pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“She was exceptional with my baby, Molly. Molly is normally extremely slow to warm up to people but she immediately took to Genevieve. She kept me updated with pictures and texts, followed my instructions, and most of all kept my girl safe from a murderous wasp and loneliness while I rudely went on vacation without her. There’s nothing better than a cat sitter who loves your girl as much as you do.”

“I’ve used Josh several times now and have always been very happy with how well he takes care of my dog and my home. I have a very sweet but reactive dog and he handles him great! I have peace of mind when I’m away with Josh knowing Diesel and my home are well cared for. This past time my flights home were changing frequently due to weather so I wasn’t sure what time I was going to be home. Josh was very flexible and able to work with me which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend him!!”

“We were extremely pleased with the diligent care Monica provided for our 4-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd. She did an excellent job not only watching Jaco, but also taking great care of our home while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. We would absolutely use Monica again and highly recommend her to others.”

“Heidi was amazing. She was very accommodating in terms of finding a time for a meet and greet. When my son decided he wanted to entertain her and have her attention as I showed her around, she was a great sport. She was super non-judgmental about the state of our house, and put me at ease. She was great with our pets while we were gone, and sent adorable photos. When we got home, I found that she had washed all of the odd dishes we hadn’t had a chance to wash before we left. She also shoveled the walkway! I will absolutely be reaching out to her again, next time we go on vacation.”

“Leah did a great job watching Harley (soft coated wheaten terrier) while we went on a short 4 day trip. Kept us up to date on how he was doing and made sure he had his walks and breaks.”


About: For the past 4 years, I’ve been the go to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I am an honest and hard worker and I provide good communication with my clients. I am a student at parkside with one year left until I graduate. With my schedule, I am able to pet sit during the day and overnight on weekdays and I’m fully available on weekends. When I’m pet sitting in a clients home, I spend the majority of my day there playing with and taking care of the pets. I put the pet’s needs first and maintain good communication with the owners to ensure their pet is taken care of properly. I treat the home with respect and ensure the owners of the home know my schedule so there are no surprises while I’m watching their pets.

“Nicole did a great job taking care of our pack. She was very communicative with us. She sent pictures along the way and made sure all of our dogs were well taken care of. Left us some pictures when we got home as well to see how they did. Great experience and allowed us to enjoy our vacation stress free. Thanks!!”

About: With over 7 years of hands-on dog sitting experience, I’ve cared for pups/kitties of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and medication administration (pills only) to overnight stays and longer holiday care. I prioritize creating a safe, loving environment that keeps their regular routine. Whether it’s fetch in the park or quiet cuddle time, I tailor care to each dog’s unique needs and personality. My schedule is open and flexible, which means I’m available for extended bookings, weekend getaways, *most* holidays, and all the in between’s. I’m here when you need me, morning, afternoon, or evening—no rigid time blocks, just dependable availability. Whether you’re heading out of town or working long hours, I’m ready to jump in with consistent, loving care. Pet parents can count on me to adapt to their routines and provide reliable service every day of the week. Safety and trust are the foundation of everything I do. I never leave dogs unsupervised in unsafe areas, and I only use the approved pups gear. I stay in close contact with pet parents, offering regular updates, pictures, and messages (if asked for) for peace of mind. With seven years of trusted pet care under my belt and a strong sense of responsibility, I treat your dog as if they were my own. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority.
“We had Kelly stay on Christmas Eve, she was amazing! Asher and Reese enjoyed her staying with them, they even snuggled with her and slept with her. Reese liked her pillow so Kelly was so kind to share! I loved that she sent me pictures of them too! I definitely recommend Kelly!”

“This was my first time leaving our puppy Fritz and first time using Rover. I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Adrienne! I appreciated the daily check ins and pics/videos and I could tell that Fritz was happy and content and well cared for. I would recommend Adrienne and will use her again the next time we go out of town without the pup.”


“Jack did a great job with my two dogs. He quickly scheduled a meet and greet to discuss our house and what our dogs would need. One of my dogs is old, a little anxious and does not allow many people to pet him. Jack was very patient with him and by the end of the weekend, Rudi felt comfortable enough to let Jack pet him. Jack was also very responsive and sent several pictures of the dogs over the weekend. Everything in the house was also in good order when we returned from our weekend. I would highly recommend Jack for house and dog sitting.”

“Trina is such a lifesaver. We had a dog sitter lined up who had to bail on us about 12 hrs before we were supposed to leave on our first ever Disney vacation. She responded to my message immediately, was available on short notice and honestly spoiled the heck out of my dog! My dog is a senior citizen and takes 2-4 meds a day. She made sure he got all his meds, followed an intricate feeding schedule, and loved him as her own. She checked in with me daily to assure us he was doing well. She also helped feed our fish and turtle. What a lifesaver! We returned to happy animals and a very clean house. We will definitely be using Trina for all our vacations from here on out!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sylvania on Rover is $55.5 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 1,546 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sylvania. 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 Sylvania 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 Sylvania 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 Sylvania 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.
