Adrienne was super easy to communicate with and took very good care of our dog while we were out of town. We hope to have her help us out in the near future.

Yolena was a life saver and was able to watch my cat even though the request was very last minute. She kept me updated and sent pictures letting me know how my cat was doing. Great communication as well! Highly recommend!

Elisa cared for 2 dogs and multiple cats in my home. It was wonderful knowing all the pets were being cared for and loved while I was away! I had plenty of updates and all my cats/dogs seemed so relaxed when I arrived back home.

About: I have a great deal of passion for training dogs and horses. I've loved and cared for a multitude of different species, including a sheep! My routine is to come home, have some dinner, and then feed/play with my dog and cats. I'd love to spend time with more pets! It's imperative to me that petsitters understand individual pet body language & communicate with pet parents to ensure that every pet feels secure & comfortable.

About: Animals have been one of the greatest loves of my life. As a yoga teacher, former pharmacy professional, and full-time traveler, I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate presence to every home I care for. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and medication. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to help them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, hiking adventures, fetch in the backyard, or simply curling up for quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can relax knowing your beloved companion is in caring hands. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, overnight companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, I strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’m happy to accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holiday care when available. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. As a certified yoga teacher, I naturally bring a calm, patient, and grounded presence that many animals respond to with ease. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs—whether they’re playful, shy, senior, or require medication. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. My goal is to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, secure, and genuinely cared for.

About: Hi! I’m Haley, and I’ve had a love for dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and for the past 2 years I’ve had the privilege of working as a professional dog groomer. Every day, I get to build trust with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to sweet seniors and even nervous or anxious pups. Being a groomer has taught me so much about canine behavior, patience, and creating a calm, positive environment where every dog feels safe and loved. I know that every pet is unique, and I take the time to earn their trust while making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone else can be difficult. That’s why I promise to care for your pet the same way I would my own—with kindness, patience, lots of love, and plenty of belly rubs, playtime, and cuddles. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or simply relaxing together, my goal is to make sure your pet feels right at home until you’re back. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! 🤍🐾 Pet care is my priority, and I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Because I work independently, I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits whenever possible. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or extra love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll do my best to work around your schedule and provide dependable, consistent care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. Since I provide care in your home, I do everything I can to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow your feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions, and any special requests to make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. As a professional dog groomer, I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand canine body language and know how to safely handle nervous, energetic, shy, or senior dogs with patience and kindness. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands. 🤍🐾

About: As an experienced dog/house sitter who has rescued/fostered numerous dogs in the past 18 years and also a volunteer at my local animal shelter, I treat your family members as my own while they are in my care. I understand leaving your animals with someone can be very stressful not only for you but your furry family members. I don't mind staying in your home as I know some animals are more comfortable and less stressed in their own environment. I am a full time remote worker since 2020. I am very much a homebody who enjoys watching true crime shows, reading and doing puzzles. I like to get to know the owners and pets and stick to their normal routine as to not cause more stress for the animals while their owners are away.

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life and have grown up around both cats a dogs. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs. My dog, Phoebe, was diagnosed with lymphoma in October of 2025, and I helped care for her by giving her medication, bathing her, taking her on multiple walks each day, and making sure she was as comfortable as possible. She passed away in May, and I miss our daily walks and spending time with her. That experience taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of paying close attention to a pet's individual needs. I currently have three cats and regularly care for all of them. I'm comfortable bathing cats, trimming their nails, and recognizing when they need extra attention or a little space. When I was nine years old, my family adopted a kitten that had been abandoned by its mother, and I helped bottle feed and care for him, giving me experience with very young kittens as well. This summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I'm happy to work around your pet's routine, whether they need early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or multiple visits throughout the day. In the fall, I'll only have two in-person college classes, which will still leave me with plenty of flexibility to provide dependable care. I'll always make sure your pet gets the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve, and I'll do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I will take the time to follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, and any special care they may need.

Angie is awesome! I just got home and found everything just as I had left it. And when I had to leave for vacation, my sweet girl wasn’t feeling the best. Angie took everything in stride and took such good care of my pup while I was gone. I absolutely would not hesitate to have her back.

About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life, I have experience with cats, bunnies, dogs, ducks, chickens, and snakes! I will give your fur (or feather) baby so much love, they'll hardly notice you're gone! I am currently a freelancer, who is underemployed so I can fit pet care into my day in whatever capacity is needed. I am happy to stay overnight as well. I have pet sat for many notable Dayton figureheads including Mrs. Ohio! My home is not equipped to host dogs, but I will happily come to yours. I am a cardio instructor who loves to be outside, so going on walks will be my favorite part of the day. I will happily play with your pets, and snuggle them on the couch while I read or work on my latest craft project. I am very tidy and will leave your home exactly as I found it.

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!

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Trotwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 702 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Trotwood. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
