“This was our first time using Jessica and we were impressed. She was sitting our dog/house while we were away and she followed our instructions to a T. Jessica kept in touch throughout her stay and put our minds at ease. She was very respectful of our home, and our dog seemed to enjoy her company too. We look forward to booking her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of neighbors pets in the past, they relied on me to walk and feed their dogs. I have fostered a dog before and I currently own a chihuahua I rescued. I currently work full time Monday-Friday. I am usually available during the week after 3:30-4 pm. Also I usually am available on most weekends at most times. I have a dog who can keep your dogs company and I have a large grass area where I live to take your dogs out for walks or to play outside.
About: I have my own animas of all species that I take care of. I’ve had animals my whole life and have taken care of them very well! I will treat your babies like they are my own! I am currently working part time which usually is closing at 10pm.. But I will have time to take care of your animals as needed and provide them plenty of attention and care! I give my fur babies plenty of attention on the daily. Their needs come first! They will always have a full bowl for food and water and be groomed as needed!
“This was our second time using Evie. I cannot say enough good things about her. The pets are well cared for and the house was left emasculate. Grab her if you can (just not when I need her lol). You won’t be disappointed!”
“Kirsten was marvelous! She was happy to meet the girls before we set up the house sitting - I wanted to make sure they weren't too rambunctious. Kirsten was great with them and my dogs were well taken care of while we were away. I will book with her again!”
“Katy is an absolute gift to the Rover community. Leaving our dog and cat with a non-family member for the first time was nerve-wracking, but Katy immediately put all our anxieties to rest. From the moment she walked in for the meet-and-greet, our pets adored her. Even my normally shy cat—who usually hides from visitors—came right out to greet her. Honestly, it felt like our pets had known her in a past life; that’s how comfortable they were! Katy is reliable, punctual, and goes above and beyond. She asked all the right questions, sent some of the best photos of our pets we’ve ever seen, and even came early and stayed late to make sure our dogs got extra potty breaks. Her detailed updates and genuine kindness made being away so much easier. I almost hesitate to leave this glowing review because I know everyone will want to book her, but she truly deserves it. If you book with Katy, you won’t regret it!”
“Bobbie was great! I was nervous about having a stranger at my house and with my pet, but I spent some time getting to know her and felt much better! She's very kind and warm while also being professional. Super helpful and flexible. I will definitely be making Bobbie my go-to sitter.”
“Mercedes was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! She communicated thoroughly and consistently. She sent lots of pictures and met the needs that we requested. She made the process so smooth and relieved stress for my husband and I about the well-being of our puppies. When needed she will be our first choice in the future and would recommend her 1000%!”

“This was my first time using a house sitter and Hannah was fantastic! She kept in contact with me and sent pictures of my fur babies. If I need a drop-in or house sitting again, I will be scheduling with her. 😊 Thank you, Hannah!”
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.
“Mark is awesome. He came and met Eazy beforehand and made everyone comfortable. Received updates all weekend with pics and videos of them having a blast. Eazy had a great weekend outside playing with Mark and was looking for him long after we got home! He is the absolute best! Will be using him again for sure. Could not recommend Mark enough!!!!”
“Lily was great! Professional communication, gave us an update and photo while we gone, and left our home tidy. I would definitely recommend and plan to book her service again.”
“Alexa did a fantastic job! We came home and our dogs were taken care and she went above and beyond and made sure our house was clean so we could come home and relax from our trip.”

I currently don't work, my kids are home for the summer. I have 3 cats and a dog. My animals are feed 2 times a day.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Temperance
This is my first time with Rover. I selected Jessica and have no regrets. She met us early on and from then on I was glad we connected. I haven't travelled in years due to not having someone I could trust with my fur baby, now I can. She kept in touch letting me know all was well. I highly recommend her.
We used Comer & Joan when my husband and I had to go out of town. Our pups are like our children. We love them to death. Right away at our meet and greet, it became very evident that Comer & Joan was a perfect fit for our babysitting needs. They were attentive to our dogs. They sent us pictures while we were away. Our one dog, Shiloh, is very skittish and they actually won Shiloh over I would recommend them hands-down! If I could give them 10 stars, I would give them 15 if you were looking for someone to watch your special pups you don’t have to look any further. Comer & Joan are exceptional.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Temperance on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 634 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Temperance. 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 Temperance 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 Temperance 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 Temperance 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.
