“Haylee was very courteous and responsible. She took great care of my cat Phoebe and of my home as well. She followed all instructions and sent lots of photos which was greatly appreciated!”
“Nina was great! She listened carefully to all my care instructions, asked the right questions and then sent photo updates during the stay. My pups seemed happy and content. 😊 I’d definitely use Nina again!”
“There are no words to express my gratitude to Jessica she was sweet and caring. I was out for a weekend and it is the first time I had to live my cat alone; Jessica babysat her and followed all the routine and perks my cat is used to. Even though Peggy is sort on the shy side, she loved Jessica and I was able to confirmed it when Jessica stopped by to drop the keys, my cat went down her tower to greet her. I will definitely schedule her again if I need to get out of town.”
“Sherry and Bob were very attentive to our Yorkie and went the extra mile during bad weather to ensure he was taken care of while we were gone. Very responsive and I would highly recommend them!”
“Julia was a great companion and caregiver for our dog this weekend. She was attentive and communicated well with us regarding her time with him. The house was well kept and all his needs were met!”
“This was our first time leaving Enzo since adopting him. Enzo can be tricky at times and Alex listened carefully to our asks, his diet, and handled his behavior well. She communicated well and sent lots of fun pictures ☺️”
“Our sitter had to cancel for a family emergency pretty last minute so we decided to try Rover. We reached out to Tori and received a response and set a time to meet really quickly! After agreeing to watch our 12 week old puppy we were off! We received multiple updates including pictures while we were away which really helped make us feel at ease. Tori also asked great questions about Ollie’s schedule and our expectations which made us feel more comfortable. We came home to happy puppy and a clean house! Would definitely recommend Tori for your next vacation!”
“It’s always nerve wracking having someone watch your dog who has trouble with strangers, but Rachel made it stress free! She was patient and kind, which helped our dog warm up to her quickly. We can’t wait to have Rachel come again!”
About: I have taken care of family/friends/other people’s pets since I was 13. I can feed, let out, walk, and provide enrichment/care for animals. I also have experience with administering medication to animals as well. I am a college student on break for the summer, so my availability is pretty open! I am available both weeks and weekends for most of the summer. I will care for your pets as if they were my own (I love my dogs)! I want to ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable in my care, while also respecting your rules, such as keeping fence gates shut or crating pets when I am not there.
About: I grew up with dogs and as an adult, I have had 3 cats. Sadly they have passed away from old age. In the future, I plan on having another pet, but in the meantime, I can love and care for other people's animals! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their pets. I do work full-time Monday through Friday, but my schedule would be available on weekends and some weekdays after 5:30 PM. Holidays can be an option also. My main values are providing safety, trust and love to your pets with respect to the pet owners. When I am with your pet you will be worry free!
“This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and Shylina was great! She even drove over to meet Bella before the actual sitting. We were totally comfortable having her in our home. She kept in touch and was very responsible with feeding and giving medications. We’ll definitely hire her again.”
“SO happy & pleased with how Megan & Lucky treated our precious Wilson and home. We feel so lucky to have found them. They left our home in tip-top shape and Wilson was as happy as can be :) Seriously impressed!”
“I really appreciated that Brianna knows that each dog will have its quirks and was ready and willing to adapt to a dog who can be aggressive/intimidating at first. Through patience and treats, she and Mack became good friends! She was very responsive and accommodating, and she kept a good level of contact throughout the weekend.”
“Ana did a great job caring for Ruby and communicating with us while we were out of town. Our house was well cared for as well! She was quick to respond to any messages and sent pictures as requested. Would book again!”
“Katrina did a great job with the three cats, and administering a topical medication that they are not keen on receiving. I got plenty of pictures of the cats throughout her stay. It's our first time using Rover and everything went as perfectly as could be.”
“Christine went above and beyond taking care of Callie and Cosie! She scheduled a meet and greet a couple days prior to us leaving for a long weekend. The sister bichons took to Christine immediately which is very unusual. They are high maintenance with some house training issues. Christine met their needs like a champ! When we got home the dogs were calm and happy. I told Christine she is the “dog whisperer”!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Vermillion
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,850 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vermillion. 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 Vermillion 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 Vermillion 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 Vermillion 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.
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.
