Kaylie did a great job caring for my pets while I was away. I would certainly hire her again.

About: With extensive experience in pet care, I've honed my skills in providing comprehensive and compassionate care for a variety of animals. From dogs and cats to birds and small mammals, I understand the unique needs and behaviors of each species. My experience includes feeding, grooming, administering medication, and providing exercise and enrichment activities. I'm also adept at recognizing signs of illness or distress and taking appropriate action to ensure their well-being. Whether it's a daily walk, a weekend getaway, or long-term care, you can trust that your beloved pets will receive the highest level of care and attention in a safe and comfortable environment. My goal is to provide peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their furry, feathered, or scaled companions are in capable and caring hands. I’m currently working full time at a horse facility, however I am free on Tuesdays and Thursday’s as well as most mornings and any time after 5 pm As a pet sitter, safety and environmental care are my top priorities. I create a secure and comfortable environment for your pets, ensuring they are free from hazards and have access to clean and comfortable spaces. I follow all safety protocols, including proper leash handling, secure enclosures, and careful monitoring of interactions with other animals. Additionally, I am committed to maintaining a clean and sanitary environment, regularly cleaning and disinfecting feeding areas, litter boxes, and other spaces. I also take precautions to protect your home, following your instructions for security and respecting your property. You can trust that your pets will be safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in a clean and secure environment under my supervision.

My wife and I found Sarah on Rover because we were planning a destination wedding with all of our friends and family. All the people we usually ask to watch our dog, our cat, or take care of our house would be joining us for 10 days in another country. Understandably, we were apprehensive about entrusting all that to a person we did not know. When we connected with Sarah, a few months before, we chatted and discussed organizing a meet and greet and then having Sarah do some regular dog walks in the weeks leading up to the event. At every step of the way, Sarah was prompt, communicative, friendly, honest, and above all, incredibly caring and loving to our animals. Before we left, Sarah checked in once more with a detailed review of all the logistics we had discussed for the stay. Sarah arrived as planned and spent 10 days taking the best care of our dog Mia, our cat Tar, and looking after our entire house. She stayed at the house overnight, took Mia for walks each day, played with Mia in the yard, and spent some quality comfort time in the house with both Mia and Tar. She updated us daily with pictures of the animals as well as information about the day’s activities and how the animals were doing. We were always fully comfortable that our house and animals were in the best of hands. We will continue to hire Sarah in the future for house sitting and pet care needs and give her the highest recommendation.

We highly recommend Lauren. We came home to a happy dog and a tidy house. She was great about communicating and sent some really cute pictures. Honestly, we were kind of glad our normal kennel was booked or we wouldn't have connected with Lauren.

Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!

Jonathan did an exceptional job dog-sitting and house-sitting for us for a full week. He was incredibly conscientious and highly communicative, sending regular updates and adorable pictures. Our dog absolutely adored him, and Jonathan took such great care of our home that we barely noticed he was there—yet we returned to a spotless house. We highly recommend him without hesitation.

About: I have lived with and taken care of at least two dogs of various sizes my entire life. Over the past few years I have dog sat and dog walked the pets of family/friends. Some of which had special accommodations such as meds or a strict schedule which was no problem at all! I love spending time with animals so let me bring my care and love to your pets to make your life easier! I am a recent college graduate looking for a full time job at the moment. Until I find that position, my schedule is as open as it needs to be to take good care of any pets. For my own pets, I share responsibility of all the basic needs of a pet; feeding, walking, giving attention, letting them out for the bathroom, etc.. For the pets of my client I provide all of those necessary services myself. I can dedicate any needed time and effort to ensure that the pet stays safe, healthy and active.

About: I have grown up with all sorts of pets. I worked at a clinic for a little while learning all sorts of wonderful things about our pets! I dog sit for a few friends now and I am fully comfortable with any and all breeds, I know how to crate dogs, and I am willing and able to walk them as long as they are used to :) I currently work a full-time job (Monday-Friday) but am off by 4pm! I am available any time on weekends as well. I would love to pet sit on my free time! I also did a year of college for animal health and behavior so I am willing to work with all types of pets! :) I did an internship at a local animal shelter, and became aware of body languages, mechanisms, and personalities of many animals! I would love to get to know the people and pets around my neighborhood! :)

I was hesitant to have a near stranger stay with my fur babies for 6 days (including overnights) and am beyond thrilled with my experience with Lisa! She came twice to meet/visit before my trip and I knew she right away she was “Good People”! I received updates, photos and videos everyday. I would give her a hundred stars if I could! Thank you to Lisa (& Rover) 🐾

About: I’ve cared for family and friends pets throughout my life, as well as my own pets. I’ve had to administer medications and follow specific protocols before. Your pet is my number one priority when I am pet sitting and I will keep you updated the whole time for your peace of mind! I’m currently working part time (only about 13 hours per week) as the school year has ended for the summer. I am only working about 8:30am to 12pm, 3-4 days per week, so I have tons of availability for your pet! I have a huge yard as well as a dog and cat to keep your pet company! I also can keep my pets separated if that’s better for you as well. I have a large crate if it is needed and a very pet safe home! If I am sitting in your home, I will follow all guidelines and make sure your pet receives the best care.

Kayla is an amazing sitter. She took care of our two reactive fur babies for a recent weekend trip out of state. It was our first time entrusting anyone outside of family and close friends with Bark and Hachi and Kayla quickly won over both of them. We are so excited, relieved, and grateful. We will definitely be staying in close touch !

This was our first Rover experience and Kayla was terrific! She updated us daily with pictures and comments of Gracie while we were away for the week. During our meet and greet she was very professional and kind with us and Gracie. We 100% recommend her and will be contacting her again if we go away. She did a great job taking care of our pooch!

I currently do work Monday through Friday from 8-530, so I am available in the evenings for overnights or let outs, early mornings, and weekends! I make sure that the dog/pets feel comfortable with me before committing to a long term job with them. Their safety and happiness is my most important priority.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ware

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Ware on Rover is $40.32 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 1,112 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ware. 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 Ware 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 Ware 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 Ware 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 Ware. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.
