“Katherine was an outstanding sitter. Great communication, friendly, flexible and easy to work with. Our pets loved her and we look forward to working with her in the future. Could not recommend her enough!”
About: I've owned many cats through all stages of their lives, from kittens to seniors. I've volunteered as a dog walker at the Humane Society for almost two years and have experience handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I watched friends' pets while they've been away and I'm comfortable with following whatever particular instructions you may have for your pets. I have a flexible job that I can fit around caring for your pets, so I'm available just about any time. Plus, I love the opportunity to take a break and spend time with a furry friend. I will treat your pet like it's my own. I also understand how important consistency is for training and behavior, so I will always follow the rules you have for your pets.
About: Being a pet owner all of my life, I understand the importance they bring to your life. You want to do everything you can to give them the best possible life, and I’m here to help! I have years of experience pet sitting for family and friends. Whether you’re on vacation or work long shifts, you can be rest assured your pet will be in the best care. I'm currently working part-time making my own hours, so I have a very flexible schedule! I'm available weekdays 9am-3pm and weekends after 3pm! I believe it's important to keep my cat inside and spayed, updating her shots to ensure she and other cats don't spread preventable diseases. As for dogs I always make sure to wrap their leash twice around my hand to ensure I have full control. Keeping the counter tops clean also prevents any animal from consuming something they should
About: Large dominant dog experience. Drop in visits and walks during the week available at this time. New puppies to seniors and special needs that need some love. Early morning and late day drop ins and walks. I work mid shift with flexible hours. Looking to help with short potty breaks before pet parents can get home from out of town. We use crates but understand it's not necessary for all dogs at home. I need to know the client's local veterinarian in case of emergency and if the dogs know basic obedience when coming to your home.
“Jesse did an overnight pet sitting service for our 2 1/2 yr old doberman, while my husband and I went out of town. We recommend Jesse's services! Our dog Zeus quickly took to him, and he was dependable and attentive to our dog needs, and we will definitely request his services again.”
“Ashleigh stayed at our house and took care of our two dogs over a weekend. Ashleigh was very easy to communicate with, the house was in great shape, and the dogs seemed very happy on our return!”
About: Hi there, I’m a caring who is down to earth. Experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages. I like to keep active. Go exploring so bonus points if you have a dog who likes car rides and maybe a nature trail. I will send animal photos if needed. I can adjust if your furbaby needs meds or extra special care. I am new to Greeley, CO and that is where my focus is to help someone out who will be out of town for whatever the reason may be. I used to swing by the Broome County Humane Society to walk some dogs and give them attention rather than being caged in a new environment. Dogs always like me even if it takes some warming up. Let me know the routine and I will make sure it happens, they go out of the home, go for car rides, hikes, walks and so on. I would prefer a meet and greet before jumping into someone’s home. Also leave your streaming platforms available. I am mostly new to Colorado and I love the culture. I do not yet have a dog by my side, i have been described as a Dogtrovert LOL. I have lots of experience from volunteering as well as my own dogs. Ranging from chihuahuas (one of my own) to labradors(who all behaved and loved dog parks) putties/pit bulls and German Shepards. I am a dog lover, trustworthy and responsible. Message me if you think we are a match.
“Katelynn was awesome! I completely trust her with both my pup and my home. She made sure my high energy dog had plenty of attention and activity and was a great communicator. Highly recommend.”
“Can’t thank Sari enough. She came in on short notice, was so genuine and friendly, quick to respond and helped my dog go through her first ever heat cycle. My dog having her dog period was very unexpected and I could not be more grateful for having someone like Sari. She sent pictures and was very caring for my animals. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of pup sitting services. She should be on the front cover of Rover magazine if there was one. THANK YOU!!”

We highly recommend Delilaha, her communication was amazing. She sent photos, updates and was there exactly when she said she was going to be. The girls felt comfortable with her and relaxed when we arrived home, which is such a good sign for our rescue dogs. We will definitely use her in the future.

The average cost of House Sitting in West Chenango is $111 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $111 and $111 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.

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 Chenango 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 Chenango 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 Chenango 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.

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.
