“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 took amazing care of our pets and our house! Our animals seemed so comfortable in the photos/videos she sent us frequently along with thorough updates which was much appreciated - we’d rebook with her in a heartbeat!”
“Kris was amazing with our two dogs! She was extreme communicative and kept us posted every day. She’s extremely professional and went above and beyond to clean up the house prior to our return! I’d recommend Kris 100 times over!!”
“Samantha was wonderful with our cat Buddy! She spent a lot of time with him every day and took very good care of him including brushing and spending time on the deck together. She sent pictures every day so I could see how happy Buddy was!”
“This is the second time we have had Jessica take care of our animals and she did an absolutely excellent job as per usual! She even helped us with some packages and our animals just adore her! We recommend her to everyone we know (but we call first dibs because she is the best!)”
About: I have always loved animals (more than the average person, I would argue!) and have helped care for my family and friends’ pets for over a decade. I meet pets where they are at, respecting their boundaries and their home environment to make them feel safe and loved. I will treat your pet as if they were my own! My schedule is flexible. Some days I work my full time job mornings (8:30-4) and some days I work second shift (2-10pm), so that is something to factor in when considering your pet’s schedule. I am available most weekends for overnight stays, and free for check ins and overnight stays on weekdays as well. I am also available most days for walks or drop-ins. Time of day will depend on my other work schedule. When I care for your pet, I also care for your home. I am very responsible, trustworthy, and mindful of my environment and understand the privilege of being welcomed into a client’s home. I am also a professional cleaner, so whether or not you’d like my cleaning services, I will make sure to leave your home in the very best condition.
“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!”
About: I have always been a huge animal lover and have been around cats and dogs my whole life. I have one cat of my own and I have had her for 10 years now. I also have 2 dogs. I grew up always having cats and dogs in the family. I would love you watch your pets and make sure they are happy and healthy while you are out of town, or at work all day. Message me for dog walking, drop in visits, or other inquires. I will always treat your pet as my own, and make sure that they are comfortable while you can’t be with them. I hope that you contact me to help you take care of your pets while you are away from home! I am going to school full time, but I am very flexible with my hours with half my classes being online this semester. I play with my own pets throughout each day and walk my dogs often. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that are friendly once they warm up to new people and that would love to meet new friends. At drop in visits, I care for your pet based off the information the owner gives me.
“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've grown up with dogs and have always loved caring for them. Through taking care of my own dogs, I've learned the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, and lots of love. I'm responsible, dependable, and will always treat your pet like they're part of my own family. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently work part-time Friday through Sunday, but I have flexibility throughout the rest of the week. I'm committed to providing dependable care and will always communicate clearly about my availability before accepting a booking. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I also believe in providing regular photo and text updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve worked with dogs of all ages as a receptionist at a busy doggy daycare and animal hospital, where I got to know pups of every personality and need. I have basic training in puppy care which I use positive reinforcement techniques to help puppies learn good behavior and socialization, making their experience fun and stress-free. For senior dogs, I provide gentle, patient care tailored to their health needs and comfort, including administering medications and adjusting activities to their pace. Every pup are treated like they’re my own with love and patience. I will ensures every dog feels safe, happy, and well supported while you’re away. I’m fully available to provide attentive pet care throughout the weekdays and on weekends. While I’m actively working on building my design business, my schedule remains flexible. I will inform you immediately if any changes occur. Until then, I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! *As a reminder, please make sure you and your pup is okay being around my small 12lb pup and having my husband around.* All dogs will safely be in my secure, fenced yard where my 3 year old Min Pin mix loves to play with new friends. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, provide exercise, companionship, and maintain a clean, comfortable environment.
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!
“Kallyn is a consummate professional and fantastic at what she does! This was our first time booking with Kallyn and I think we’ve found our forever pet and house sitter. From our initial consult, where she came to our home and spent over an hour getting to know our dogs (I was impressed with the questions she asked from medical needs to our dog’s preferences), to the numerous photos and updates throughout her stay, you can tell she cares deeply about each animal and it was evident our pups enjoyed every minute with her. The peace of mind that provided me was worth every penny and then some.”
“Katrina is fantastic! She is super attentive and our dog loved her. She is a great communicator and very conscientious. Next time we are out of town, she’s going to be our go to dog and house sitter!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Vermillion
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,864 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.
<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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
