“Alexea was great! She took incredible care of my dogs while I was way for my wedding. It was great to not worry about them while I was gone. I came home to a clean house and well taken care of dogs. I couldn't be happier.”
“Jaina was very responsive and communicative during our trip. This was my first time hiring a petsitter so I was already nervous, but my sheltie Piper does NOT like strangers so that added more stress. Jaina worked with us to have a few (loud) meet and greets with Piper to familiarize herself with her. It took a day but Piper soon warmed up to her and settled which allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. I'm very grateful to Jaina for handling our anxious dog and reassuring us with her daily and sometimes twice a day updates.”
“Anthony was great. Allowing someone access to our home and our dogs was something we’ve never done before, Anthony made the entire process a breeze and settled our worries right away. We set up a meet and greet, he was punctual, outgoing, and friendly.. our 2 German shepherds are normally a little weary of strangers, but they welcomed him right away. Anthony and his wife were so thorough with updates, pictures, etc. We scheduled with him for in-home boarding at our home, he visited with them more times than I expected, he walked them both days too. He cared for our dogs as if they were his own. We will definitely be scheduling with Anthony again in the future.”
About: I have over 25 years of experience raising and caring for dogs. I believe they are a part of my family and I would do the same for yours. Local lake county Ohio resident. I have previously raised two German Shepards and currently have a rescue lab named Kiki. Physically fit, enjoy the outdoors, and would love to exercise and socialize your fur babies while you work or vacation! I work full time remotely from home and am available days, evening, nights, and weekends to hang out with your fur babies! My schedule is flexible and I can work with you to accommodate your pets needs! My dog is my baby and that’s how I would treat yours. She is walked more than once daily, has a ridiculous amount of toys, and is the most spoiled person in the house. I believe all dogs deserve this level of devotion and I would love to bring your dog belly rubs, treats you approve of, and an opportunity to burn off energy when care for your loved one!
“Matt was professional, thorough, and most importantly he made Denali feel comfortable while we were gone. He took the time to come over twice before our trip to meet Denali, which made it easier to leave knowing Denali was in good hands. He provided daily updates with pictures and left our house spotless. We’ll be using him again and would recommend Matt to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“I’m so grateful for Brittney’s care of my two dogs and two cats during the Christmas week.From the start, she was responsible, reliable and kind. She visited our house twice a day, even during Christmas. Gave my cat medication properly and gently.She left my home clean and tidy. Most importantly, my furry babies felt safe and happy with her. They bonded with Brittney so quickly, and could see they were in wonderful hands. Her calm presence and reliability gave us peace of mind while we were away of the country and it’s so good to have now someone we can trust when a new trip comes. Our schedule changed several times and I’m so grateful for her flexibility and patience! I will definitely hire Brittney again! Thank you Brittney for everything - you made a world of difference for us!”
“Christy was so on top of things and went above and beyond when taking care of my pup for four days. She sent tons of photos each day without us asking and it was very sweet :)”
“Eric was fantastic! Moose and mittens loved him. He messaged everyday with pictures to make sure we knew our babies were taken care of. Very nice and personable and trustworthy. Thank you so much Eric! We will definitely be using him if he’s available for our next trip!”
About: Hi, my name is Alaina! I am a respected female pet sitter, ready to sit or walk your pet next! I have 4 years of experience. I am currently a dog bather as well working at a doggy daycare part time. I adore all types of animals. I promise to give endless belly rubs and ensure a safe environment for your fur babies. Rather it’s washing your fur babies or taking care of your animals. I am surrounded daily by animals because of both of my part time jobs as a bather and kennel attendant. I promise to always have a safe, trusted, environment. With my four years experience I can ensure that your fur baby with always be taking care of. I always treat every animal like if it was my own.
About: I have animal sat for neighbors, family and friends. I love being outside and caring for animals. I have experience feeding bathing and walking dogs of all sizes! I am available mornings and evenings for walks! I am waiting to start another job so I will be flexible until the end of summer! I am able to come by and let your dogs out and take them on walks, I have friends and family who I do this for as well!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a kid. I rescued my first baby, Dory, a little over 5 years ago and my heart has never been more full. Since then I have rescued another dog and 2 cats. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Taking care of animals is second nature and something I’m truly passionate about. My animals are my world and I am excited to share that love with even more animals. I have a fenced in yard that my 2 dogs love to spend time in. They have an overflowing basket of toys that always seems to be scattered across the house and yard. We take them for walks around the neighborhood and every so often we take them for a hike.
“Bailey is wonderful! She watched our dogs as a trial for a longer booking and everything went great. She is super nice, punctual, responsible, responsive, and caring. We have an older dog with mobility issues, and she was so careful and caring with her. Also, she left our house in perfect condition. We are so happy we found Bailey and will definitely book her again!”
“After our meet and greet, I felt totally at ease with leaving my Lucy in Emily’s care. She obviously loves dogs, that’s for sure! I went away this weekend feeling no anxiety about going because of that. Emily took excellent care of her, sending me occasional pictures. When I came home, Lucy was very happy to see me, and my house was still in perfect order. Emily is the best💕”
“Lauren always goes above and beyond in the care of our pets. She administered medication for our Jake which can sometimes be a challenging task. The last time she sat for us we left her after a big storm with no power. My husband gave her a crash course in starting our generator (which I have never done) She was nervous but did accomplish it. I highly recommend her. Our dog and cat love her and I feel stress free when leaving knowing that they are in good hands. Thank You Lauren!!!”
About: I have been dog sitting for 10+ years, all shapes, ages & sizes. I helped train/walk my neighbors therapy dog while I was in high school and I was Involved in a club at The Ohio State University called Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I trained, walked and sat dogs of ages 2 months and up that then get assigned to someone in need of help. I have also worked at a vet hospital assisting/watching the doctor during procedures, check-ups and client visits. I love working with dogs/cats and always learning new training techniques. I love watching them grow and learn to become wonderful, well behaved dogs/cats. I love playing and being active with dogs and/or cats and giving them as much attention as they need/want. Your mind will be free of worry while you're away. Your cute furry family member will have the best care and the most attention you could possibly hope for. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs myself to approve of that! :) I work from home so I have plenty of time throughout the day to attend to your furry babies! Potty breaks, walks during lunch, etc! I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs to keep your pup company! I also have a crate if needed. Can accommodate to any normal routines at home.
About: I have a dog of my own, and I’m away for college so I don’t see him much. I would love to connect with other dogs so I can feel more at home! I am currently a college student, so I have plenty of time to walk or visit your dog! I am available Monday-Thursday after 5pm, Friday after 1pm, and selective weekends. I have an electric fence at home which my dog has adapted to. I also make sure to walk him and play with him in order to keep him active, since he is an older dog.
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was 5 years old. Lots of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Comfortable with all breeds. I’m available Thursday- Sunday for any pet sitting or walking needs! I can stay over night or stop in to check up on your pet. I am very neat and will leave your house cleaner than you left it. Your pets will be in responsible loving hands while you’re away!
“Lindsey was awesome! She watched our 2 dogs and cat during the day and overnight. She was very attentive to our “girls” needs and contacted us when she had a question. Lindsey sent pictures and the girls were very happy when we got home. The house was immaculate. We look forward to having Lindsey house sit our girls again in the future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Waite Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Waite Hill on Rover is $41.63 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 1,073 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waite Hill. 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 Waite Hill 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 Waite Hill 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 Waite Hill 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
