“Evelina went above & beyond house sitting & watching our 2 cats, 2 dogs, & 2 guinea pigs while we were out of the country for 10 days. She was super communicative & sent photos daily, which really helped put our minds at ease as one of our dogs is a 16 year old basset hound. She even went as far as to wash the bedding in the guest room where she stayed. 12/10 communication. We cannot say enough wonderful things about her. You can tell she does this because she truly loves animals. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Thanks for everything, Evelina!”
About: I’ve had multiple pets in my household since I was a child. Whether it be cats or dogs, or even the tiniest creatures, we all deserve proper care! I love the outdoors and being active in any way I can! I work in the afternoons during the weekdays. If you’re needing help with the morning walks or lunch duty, I’m on it! My schedule is flexible. I will respect every being in this partnership with the utmost respect. The boundaries and expectations of the client are the highest priority in ensuring safety and trust.
“Monica was truly incredible and one of the best experiences we’ve ever had with a pet sitter. She stayed in our home for four evenings caring for our 3 dogs, our cat, and even our fish, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent consistent photo and text updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it easy to actually relax while we were away. She went above and beyond in so many ways that made a real difference. She washed her dishes, did the hand towels she used, took the time to get our cat’s fountain running again using somewhat tedious directions, and even handled cleaning up some unexpected basement flooding after a major storm. Everything was taken care of thoughtfully and without us having to worry. We came home to a house that looked and smelled incredible. It was spotless, organized, and she paid attention to the smallest details, like setting lights back exactly how we had left them. It genuinely felt like walking into a calm, cared-for space instead of coming home to a to-do list. This experience honestly felt so much better than having a friend or family member help out. There was no guilt, no worrying about being a burden, and no second guessing anything. Monica is clearly experienced and professional, and it shows in how smoothly everything was handled from start to finish. On top of everything else, she is just a genuinely kind, warm, and easy person to communicate with. I was honestly a little sad we didn’t get more time to be home and connect with her because she is such a joy to be around. We tried to make her feel welcome with snacks, cash, and a few small take-home gifts, but it still doesn’t feel like enough compared to the level of care she gave our home and our pets. Monica was truly a gift, and we will absolutely be rebooking with her any chance we get.”
“Brian is the best. We were so lucky to find him. We can go on vacation and not worry about our pets with Brian taking care of them. I highly recommend him for any animal care you need”
About: I have cared for pets my entire life, giving me extensive experience with dogs. I am reliable, attentive to routines, and committed to clear communication so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I am available on weekends and weekdays after 3 pm for dog-sitting at your home. I will be available to spend the evenings with your pets. I care for pets in my client’s home by maintaining their normal routines, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. I respect the home, provide regular updates and photos, and focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Ava came into my home to watch my two dogs and agreed to watch my iguana as well for a week. I received picture updates and the pets seemed happy and healthy when I got home. Overall she seemed to do a very nice job and I would recommend her for your pets”

Otis and Amos loved their stay with Evelina!! She did a fantastic job of keeping us updated during the overnight stay on how things were going. Otis and Amos you could tell felt so at home with her and didn't even notice we were gone. ❤️ Highly recommend booking Evelina, she treats your pets like her own. We will for sure be booking again!
Kenzie did such a great job with our dogs. She took the time to feed them, let them out, and play with them. Making sure to give them time to get some energy out while also making sure they went to the bathroom. She sent great pictures of them playing and even got them mid smile. I highly recommend Kenzie and will book with her again.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
