About: I have a great deal of passion for training dogs and horses. I think it's valuable to be consistent and patient when teaching animals to help them grow in confidence and reduce confusion. I've also loved and cared for a multitude of different species including horses, donkeys, ponies, alpaca, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, bearded dragons, turtles, ferrets, sugar gliders, chickens, peasants, and quail. If you have unusual pets, I'd love to meet them! My routine is to come home after work, have some dinner, and then play & snuggle with my cats. I'd love to spend time with more pets! It's important to me that petsitters understand individual pet body language & communicate with pet parents to ensure that every pet feels secure & comfortable with someone new in their environment.

“5 stars doesn’t give Taylor justice to how well she cared for our dogs! Taylor’s communication was beyond excellent, her commitment to taking care of the dogs while we were away was second to none. From the second she arrived we felt that our dogs were in safe hands. We loved receiving pictures and updates. We never once had to worry while we were away. THANK YOU TAYLOR!”
“Great, dog loving sitter who will truly care for your pet as if you never left. It was such a relief knowing my fur babies were taken care of and we could just relax and enjoy vacation. We are booking again for November. Thank you!”

This first meeting is where we develop that initial trust and bond.
“Jackson was fantastic! He did everything as I asked and followed my “rules”.. I received updates everyday. I never had to worry about my girls. When I got home, they both were very happy. I normally can tell if they have had a bad few days and they definitely did NOT with Jackson!”
“Jonathan was great with our pup Rex! Rex seemed to have warmed up to him quickly which is amazing considering how old and grumpy he can be with strangers. Kept us updated and left the house cleaner than we left it! Thank you for loving our boy and giving us peace of mind on our vacation!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for multiple dogs throughout my life, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and everyday care. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety and happiness. I am currently home from college for the summer. I do not have other responsibilities, so caring for your pet is my top priority. I am free every day to be able to feed, walk, and play with them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their everyday routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m providing walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals, and any other care instructions you provide.
“Danni has the sweetest spirt and immediately took to our Gracie Gracie Girl and Indie Boy. She was happy to stay with our Gracie for the day (we SO appreciate that!). When we are gone, Gracie won't eat or go outside (she gets depressed). Imagine our joy and surprise when Danni let us know that Gracie ate all of her dinner and went outside for her!! Danni sent photos and kept us apprised of how the day was going. She has great respect for our home and our wishes for Gracie and we would highly recommend her. Thank you Danni!”
“Marin was the BEST!! We are very picky about our sweet Nelly. Marin not only took fantastic care of Nelly, but stayed at our house for the time we were gone. We 100% trust Marin and she did a fantastic job. We knew when we met her that she has that "trust factor". My husband, being a retired police officer is super picky about not only someone watching our sweet dog, but letting someone stay in our home. We had NO worries with Marin!!! She is awesome!!! We will be counting on her on all future trips we have.”

Tatum also sent me a ton of pictures and text updates throughout her stay at my apartment. I am so happy I found her as my sitter!!! After I had a tough time with a different sitter in the past, she definitely made me feel comforted that my puppy was taken care of. Very professional care! I will be using her as much as possible!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Trotwood
Emma is amazing as always, she's the perfect fit for our dog and we're so glad we found her! This go around she even helped out with some of our new guinea pig additions to the household! Could not ask for anything more. Having the piece of mind that our dog is comfortable, being loved on and having the time of her life going on all the walks her little heart desires is simply priceless.
Our dog was in the best hands with Emma! We were gone for over a week and she made sure our girl had all the company, attention and walks she could want! Communication was amazing, especially when there was a huge unexpected snow storm! She problem solved with us the best way to ensure she could continue to take care of our dog with weather conditions making it impossible to drive. Our dog is more reserved with new people but she took to Emma immediately during her meet and greet and by a few days in to house sitting was fully comfortable with her! Our dog was happy to see us come home, but I think she's really going to miss her friend, Emma. Would 100% book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 705 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Trotwood. 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 Trotwood 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 Trotwood 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 Trotwood 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
