“Tarah was wonderful with my three dogs. She was very understanding about their special needs and was super great to work with! I definitely recommend her and will hopefully book her again in the future!”
“Abby was awesome, we highly recommend her! My partner and I were out of town for a wedding and we needed a sitter last minute. Our two cats are on meds and she had no issues with administering such. I appreciate the regular photo updates, it was great to see our animals enjoying their vacation away from us :). She took great care of our home and we look forward to rebooking!”
“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”
“5 stars doesn’t give Taylor justice to how well she cared for our dogs! Taylor’s communication was beyond excellent, her commitment to taking care of the dogs while we were away was second to none. From the second she arrived we felt that our dogs were in safe hands. We loved receiving pictures and updates. We never once had to worry while we were away. THANK YOU TAYLOR!”
“Elisa helped us and our furry fires through a though time while we were away and we will be forever thankful that someone with so much kindness in their heart was our pet/house sitter. Our eldest pet, Beau, was diagnosed with advanced stange heart failure and put on medication about 3 years ago. For any of you who knows about Vetmedin you know that it was amazing that he lasted as long as he did. While we were on vacation his kidneys gave out, a side effect of the medication. Elisa was there for him, helped us get him to the emergency vets and cared for him on his final night when we couldn't be there.”
About: Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow I work best for business trips or vacations rather than consistent weekly care. I’m a college student working part time, so I have availability in the early morning and afternoon/evening during the week and weekend. Sometimes my schedule varies but I should be able to accommodate with notice (preferably a week in advance of the sit). I do not board. I live in an apartment with two kitties and I would not want to cause them anxiety by introducing new pets! For the benefit of both of our fur families I would love to care for them in the comfort of their own home :)
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly see them as family. I love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have had four dogs of my own. I also love cats and have experience caring for them, including diabetic cats and dogs, as well as pets with other medical needs. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, go for a walk, or just have someone to keep them company, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, and getting the best care while you’re away. Available for boardings all week and every other weekend! I work two days a week so my schedule shifts every week. Can always make a fit !! I’m in an apartment but I can take your pet outside for walks. Still having fun in the house and cuddles! Have two cats if they get along with other animals.
“Dorothy has a very sweet and kind spirit. She is excellent with communication and she is willing to go above and beyond to make your pets feel comfortable. We truly appreciate Dorothy hanging out with our Gracie, Mitty and Indie this wekened!!”
“Susan was amazing! She gave a lot of updates and took the time to play with my dogs and cat and send videos and pictures of all the fun. I could tell my pets enjoyed her watching them!”
“Shana was so wonderful with our fur baby. He’s an older dog and knew he would be in great hands with Shana. Shana is very responsive and kept us updated while we were gone. We will definitely use Shana from now on.”
About: I have pet sat for years! Along with working at the local humane society for 2 years, I am a vet assistant there and I love it! I also have fostered for the last 3 years from dogs and puppies to cats and kittens (with a few pocket pets as well). I work full time, living only a few minutes from work, coming home during lunch for potty breaks and a little play time if boarding. If sitting in your home, depending on location ,I will be there as well during lunch. If it’s too far plenty of time for potty breaks and play time before and after work! I have a dog of my own who loves to play! However, if needed I can keep everyone separated. I have a complete fenced in yard with lots of room to run. I have fostered for years so I have all the supplies one could need! Also taking great care of clients homes and furry family members when sitting in your home. I work with neonatal to seniors on a daily basis I can meet any needs from my home to yours!
“I have been a repeat customer of Sierra for quite a while but this most recent visit deserves to be highlighted. While always dependable and a delight to work with my last trip she found herself with a very sick dog and she handled the situation with the utmost care and professionalism. I travel quite a bit and have have used many sitters over the years, Sierra is one of the best. Thanks for all you do for the boys!”
“Trina is a very attentive and caring sitter for our babies, we appreciated her daily updates and pictures! We will definitely employ her services again when we travel in the future!”
“Grace was wonderful. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog and cats with her while we went on a weekend trip. Grace is very responsible, prompt and conscientious. She was very good with our pets and they were happy and comfortable with her! She sent updates and pictures twice a day which we very much appreciated. I highly recommend Grace for any of your pet care needs.”
“Atlas was great! We needed someone to spend quality time with our kitties while we were away for 10 days and she took excellent care of the cats and our home. Her communication and pics allowed us to not worry and truly enjoy our trip. We will be using Atlas for future trips for sure!”
About: Dogs are my everything. I have watched and cared for dogs for years and am meticulous about following instructions and providing updates and photos. When I care for your dog, they are my only responsibility. I am currently working temporarily in the area until the end of December. I actually have three little senior dogs back at home with my partner, but since I am away from them (and free from my dog parent duties) I have quite a bit of free time (especially on the weekends and evenings). I would love to be able to help your dog(s) during my time here in Ohio. I work at WPAFB, which means that I am busy during the workday. However, on the weekends and in the evenings I can be completely free to care for your dog(s). I can care for all ages of dogs. My dogs take medication, so I can handle and understand the importance of administering medication. I am very communicative and love sending photos. And if I don't know something, I will always ask!
About: I have a great deal of passion for training dogs and horses. I think it's valuable to be consistent and patient when teaching animals to help them grow in confidence and reduce confusion. I've also loved and cared for a multitude of different species including horses, donkeys, ponies, alpaca, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, bearded dragons, turtles, ferrets, sugar gliders, chickens, peasants, and quail. If you have unusual pets, I'd love to meet them! My routine is to come home after work, have some dinner, and then play & snuggle with my cats. I'd love to spend time with more pets! It's important to me that petsitters understand individual pet body language & communicate with pet parents to ensure that every pet feels secure & comfortable with someone new in their environment.
“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!”

Great sitter! Kristi was able to watch Camila overnight on short notice and gave me all the information I need during the stay to feel at ease about being away. Camila was happy and well taken care of. I really appreciated how easy and stress-free Kristi made everything!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Carrollton is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 West Carrollton 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 West Carrollton 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 West Carrollton 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Carrollton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
