“If I could give more than five stars, I would. Justine was great with our dogs. We felt comfortable leaving our girls with her. She sent pictures and played with them in the yard. We have already re-booked her for our next trip and have recommended her to friends.”
“Leaving our home and our dogs with someone we didn’t know was honestly terrifying—but Lauren quickly put every fear to rest. As a first responder family, trust and reliability mean everything to us, and Lauren exceeded every expectation. Our pups, Boujee and Challa, have a combined weight of over 170 lbs, and Lauren handled them with total confidence and care. While we were in New Orleans, they were clearly happy, relaxed, and genuinely loved, which allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. Lauren is no longer a stranger to us—she’s someone we fully trust with our home and our pups, and we absolutely plan to use her again for future getaways. We couldn’t recommend her more highly. 🐾❤️”
“Rosie is amazing! She took such good care of my girl and worked much harder than she had to to gain her trust. She sent tons of pictures, had excellent communication and kept me updated the whole week. My dog is not an easy one but she handled her like a pro!”
About: I’ve spent the past year and a half immersed in the world of dog training, where I gained hands-on experience and a deep appreciation for the power of positive reinforcement. I’m also certified in K9 CPR, ensuring I’m prepared for any emergency. Today, I’m proud to be a dedicated team member at Woof’s Play and Stay, where my passion for dogs is more than a job—it’s truly my way of life. While my schedule at Woof’s keeps me busy, I always make time to provide dedicated care for your pets. Their well-being is my top priority. I have years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and abilities—including those who are deaf, blind, or even tripod. Providing them with compassionate, individualized care is always my top priority.
“100/10 stars! Haleigh was absolutely amazing with our dogs, and we will absolutely be using her again...and again! She was prompt, courteous, so incredibly kind and most importantly, very loving to our furry children. Her communication was also top-notch! Thank you, Haleigh!”
About: Hi, I'm Cassie! I grew up with cats, but became a dog person the day I unexpectedly met my pup Rebel 12 years ago! I wasn't planning on getting a dog that day, but I fell in love the moment I saw him, and the rest is history! Our girl, Kimmy (10), joined us in 2020 when a friend needed to rehome her. She's a social butterfly. They love making new friends, so we'd love to host your little one(s), and welcome them into our home. We have a fully-fenced back yard to run and play in. Dogs are allowed on the furniture here, but I'm happy to follow any rules you may have for your dogs if you prefer they not get on furniture. I currently work full-time outside of the house, but can come home over lunch to offer potty breaks if needed. When dog sitting, I try to limit my nighttime plans, so I'll have lots of time to play with your pup(s) after work! Your dog will be safe at my house. I have a 6ft privacy fence around most of the backyard, and a 4ft picket fence along one edge. I never leave the dogs unattended in the yard. I have a large dog crate if needed.
“Emily was fantastic and I would definitely use her again for both pet and house sitting. She had to deal with a few difficult things that popped up with my cat and handled it like a pro. She’s also a great communicator.”
“Claire did a great job of bonding with our beagle. Bailey can get a bit of separation anxiety when we leave her, but Claire stuck with it and the two ended up getting along well. Also, she left the house probably cleaner than we left it. We would absolutely hire her again.”
About: I'm a health care worker who will put your pet's safety first! Friends and family rely on me to take care of their dogs while they're away on trips. If your pet needs medicine or special care, I pay careful attention to instructions & make sure your pet is happy & healthy! I'm a phlebotomist by day, so I can take care of your pet in the mornings & evenings! I am a very active person, & will spend quality time with & actually play with your pet -- not just sit around with them. I am more than happy to watch your pet in your own home. I make sure your pet is happy, & treat them like my own.
About: I have been an active foster parent at a local dog rescue for 5 years. I have fostered more than 10 dogs since volunteering, 2 of which were newborn puppies. I specialize in working with dogs that have anxiety issues. I am currently working full-time so my availability during the week is limited to the evening drop-in visits. My weekends are free to offer reliable sit-in and overnight pet care for your furry friend. I have been trained in Advanced Animal Handling through a local shelter and foster dogs regularly through a local rescue. I have experience working with a number of different pet personalities.
About: My whole childhood was spent chasing after critters of all kinds on my grandma’s farm, this firmly cemented my lifelong passion for making new furry friends. I give great scritches, brush until the fur flies, and do my level best to spoil rotten the all of God’s creatures. I’m also an accomplished artist who specializes in drawing pet portraits who’s always available for commission. I work from home during the day so I’m able to accommodate walks and check ins but I am most available in the evenings. I am currently unable to accommodate aggressive dogs, but otherwise I’m very happy to work fearful critters who may need time or space to feel safe.
“I appreciate all that Megan does for my two dogs. She spent the week with them. She let me know one had allergies acting up and made sure my dog was getting allergy meds while I was away. Some how she’s managed to get some good pics with both dogs facing the camera, something that isn’t easy to do. I will continue to use Megan to watch my pups. I highly recommend her. You’ll be glad you’ve booked her for your next trip.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a very long time. I own a cockapoo named BaeLee and she is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. I now own 2 dogs: Benito and Bernie. Benito is a Rottweiler mix and Bernie is a lab/pitbull. I adopted both from the shelter and have loved my new additions to my family. I take care of my family’s and friend’s dogs all the time from watching them, playing with them, feeding them, and walking them. I am very good with dogs and can be very patient if I need to be. I love sitting down and working on tricks. Having two puppies has taught me the importance of routine and training but also fun! I take care of my pup daily. From the time I wake up until I go to sleep I am always attentive to her needs. Every now and then I’ll take care of my uncles dog throughout the day and take him out every two hours. I am very nice and patient with animals. I love to pet them and play fetch or tug of war. I do not like to touch other’s things when I go to their houses and I respect their rules. I don’t do what I wouldn’t like done in my home to other’s homes.
About: Hey, I’m Alexis! I’m rather active and would love bringing your fur baby on walks/runs!! I don’t mind coming to check-in to play with, and provide your fur baby with food & water when you need the extra help! I don’t mind housesitting your pet(s) while you’re away. I do not provide doggy daycare, however I do allow you pet (singular) to stay the night at my place for x amt. of nights when you need it. You should be aware if your pet is coming over to my home, that I have an 8mo. old puppy named Lilo (American Eskimo) who loves to hang out and socialize with other animals (I do not allow animals over 15lbs to stay in my home due to my own puppy who is rather small). Thank you for taking your time to read this, and I hope to be of best help to you! If not, I wish you luck in finding a sitter that can! ~ Alexis
About: I have increased my prices slightly. Pet care should be affordable. No one wants to leave their pet behind and I understand that. While I was in the military I had to leave my dog monthly. The prices were eating me up. I'm here to offer a fair, cheap, short term solution. I ideally work for 5 or less days! M-TH Home 24 hours F-SU Work 14 hour shifts. I try to avoid weekends but I can still host if you're okay with my work schedule. My dog will be kenneled for the first few interactions, your dog will free roam the living room.if the dogs get along they will be supervised in the living room together. If the dogs do not get along in an unsafe manner, I will work with the owner to develop a new plan.
About: I’ve had a dog for most of my life, starting as a kid when I begged my family to have one. I’m looking forward to having the opportunity to care for your dog. My work schedule is flexible now, and will have time to give your pet the care and attention they need! I can spend lots of quality time with them. I consider dogs to be members of the family. When I have had my own dog in the past, they were generally rarely alone, always going to work with me and on errands.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Topeka is $40

Presslee was amazing and was so kind to take on a booking with extremely short notice—which was a lifesaver for me and my husband! She sent lots of photos and I could tell my dogs absolutely loved her, which gave me so much peace! Thank you so much, Presslee!

FAQs for House Sitting - Topeka
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Topeka on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 205 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Topeka. 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 Topeka 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 Topeka 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 Topeka 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.
