“Carly did a wonderful job with our two pups! If we had some changes to our schedule and she accommodated us perfectly! Would definitely recommend Carly and we will certainly be using her services again!”
“We were happy to have Autumn stay with our dogs while we were out of state. She was willing and able to deal w/ issues related to trial of an elimination diet and two different personalities! We received daily updates which helped alleviate our concerns about our babies while we were gone.”
“Josie was absolutely amazing! She stayed in our home for several days to take care of Simba and Blondi, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Josie was friendly, professional, reliable, and incredibly thoughtful. She immediately made us feel comfortable, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and in such caring hands. It was obvious that Simba and Blondi were receiving lots of love, attention, exercise, and affection. Josie took the time to get to know their personalities and routines, and she treated them with the same care and patience as if they were her own pets. When we came home, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly very comfortable with her. Josie also took wonderful care of our home. Everything was spotless, organized, and exactly as we had left it. It was such a relief to come home knowing both our dogs and our house had been so well looked after. We especially appreciated her excellent communication, dependability, kindness, and attention to detail. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of, and we always felt confident that Simba and Blondi were in the best possible hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Josie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter. She exceeded all of our expectations, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Josie!”
“Meredith took great care of my animals and house. My dog and cats were totally at ease around her and they seemed much happier than they usually are when I'm traveling.”
About: Growing up with dogs and cats, animals have always been the light of my life. I know how much being away from your fur babies (unexpectedly or planned in advance) can induce anxiety and additional stress. The hardest part of leaving is ensuring you get to come home to your pets being well-cared for, healthy, and excited to see you. Whether it be how I enter the home, how your pet is fed, or oddly time potty breaks, I understand that pet has unique needs, and I am completely open to adjusting my care to meet your pet’s needs. You can fully trust me to take care of your other family members that may not be able to travel with you. I’ll even send regular updates and photos, if you would like (I know I do). I’m looking to fill some extra time. I have a partner who can care for my 2 fur babies while I’m providing service, so I’m extremely flexible with timing and scheduling. I am open to drop-in visits, spending the night, or any other arrangement you prefer. I am okay with cameras in or outside the home, given I’m aware of them. I want you to trust that I will provide the utmost quality of care, but I also understand that is earned rather than given. I can send regular updates at your request, and provide personal contact information for extended trips.
“Julia took amazing care of my pups and my home when I took a left minute trip! Amazing communication and my pulls loved her! Can’t wait for her to come hang out with them again soon!”
“Robert was amazing! I was very grateful he was able to watch Buzz & Layla for a couple days on such short notice. He always kept me updated with plenty of pictures of them while I was gone of them smiling and playing.I knew my dogs were in good hands and would highly recommend Robert for those in the area!”
About: I love dogs of all size and breed I have a very calm voice which makes dogs always feel my safe with me. I love to go for as many walks as possible. Treats are a must! I work typically 8 hour days but always get to come home for a lunch to go for potty breaks and a couple walks before bed time. Caring for pets in someone else’s home I would make sure to clean up after the pet and honor their home as much as possible. In my home dogs are welcome to be on the couch or the bed. I have a huge yard not fenced but I would make sure to take them out as much as they want too.
“Thomas was great!! He sent very detailed updates and made sure Molly was happy and comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again, and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I have helped friends and family take care of their dogs while they are out of town. My family loves dogs and taking care of them. I have two daughters who love to play and walk dogs. I'm currently working full time. I usually get off work after 3 and have most evening free. I'm available for boarding for weekdays and weekends. I have a medium size yard and have a fence on two sides. We have a dog park within walking distance. I have two daughters ages 20 and 18 who love to walk and play with dogs. I also have a very wonderful husband who loves dogs, we do not have dogs because of myself. I am allergic to them, I love to watch other people's dogs to get my fix. I will always be with my children when and if they are helping take care of your pets. I currently work full-time. My family and myself assist in taking care of these amazing dogs. We work well with us have different schedules so the dogs are only alone for a few hours. We can crate dogs of all sizes. We do not have a fenced in back yard. We do go outside with your dogs either on a leash or on a tie out. We have fun playing with dogs in the backyard with catch or tug of war. Those seem to be the most played games.
About: Hello! My name is Savannah, and I am 26 years old with a lifelong passion for animals. I have had at least one pet for as long as I can remember,most of them dogs, which has given me years of hands, on experience caring for animals and understanding their needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on long walks, providing attentive care, or simply giving them the affection and companionship they deserve. I am comfortable working with pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperament levels, and I take pride in being patient, attentive, and reliable. I strongly believe that pets enrich our lives in countless ways, which is why I am committed to providing the highest level of care for your animal. I am available often, particularly during daytime hours, and I am happy to accommodate walking or care schedules that fit your needs. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and provide your pet with the love, attention, and exercise they deserve.
“This review comes from a mom that rarely has to leave her "babies", but could not pass up an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime family vacation. We found Auden...and for a reason...she is not only an amazing dog mom, but a fantastic dog sitter! Auden spent two weeks with our dogs in our home. She went above and beyond when it came to to taking care of our dogs, in addition, our home. The highlight for all of us was our dogs making a new friend, Yen, which is Auden's dog. All three dogs are dachshunds and get along wonderfully! Made our hearts happy! We have many plans coming up in the near future and will be contacting Auden again. Thanks to Auden for giving us peace of mind and for making our pups happy.”
About: I grew up with a family dog for 15 years and I adopted my own cat 4 years ago! I am currently a nurse so reach out to me for any possible changes in my schedule I am currently living in Iowa City as a nursing student so please reach out to me to discuss my availability as it may change! Some of my unavailable days may become available!! I can care for pets in the clients home as long as they provide instructions on pet care they will need. I hope trust can go both ways!
“Christine is AMAZING sitter. She is responsible, caring and communicative. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that our boys are in good hands. I so appreciate her updates/photos throughout. Thank you Christine for taking care ouf our boys!”
About: I have experience caring for my own dogs growing up and helping neighbors with their pets. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they are safe, cared for, and happy. Pet care fits well into my routine because I have more availability on weekends. I can use my weekends to care for pets, take them on walks, feed them, and give them plenty of attention. I would care for pets in the client’s home by following their normal routine, making sure they have food and water, giving them attention and exercise, and keeping their space clean and safe.
“Ellie is great! She is always very responsive and takes great care of my pup! She was one of my go to’s for recurring walks and has also stayed in the house when I have been gone for extended hours!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tiffin is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $56 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 Tiffin 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 Tiffin 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 Tiffin 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 Tiffin. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
