Brian was great with my dog! He sent me lots of pictures and updates which put my mind at ease! I was worried about leaving her with a stranger but the pictures of them playing and her chilling out let me enjoy my vacation. Will definitely be calling on Brian again.

About: "Welcome to your pet’s home away from home! Living on a spacious, large farm, I offer an incredible country environment where your dogs can truly enjoy the outdoors, including safe exploration around our property's little pond. I bring years of diverse, hands-on pet care experience to ensure your animal family members are safe, happy, and loved.Having participated in multiple puppy and dog training programs, I understand the patience and consistency required for young, energetic pups. At the same time, caring for my own aging dog has given me deep experience in senior care, tracking comfort levels, and maintaining gentle routines. I am also a proud cat owner to three long-haired felines, making me highly attuned to cat behavior, specific dietary needs, and regular coat maintenance. Because I am very familiar with grooming, I always keep a sharp eye on skin health, coat condition, and overall hygiene. Whether your pet needs high-energy farm play, structured puppy guidance, or a peaceful senior sanctuary, I tailor my care to fit their exact life stage." "I am dedicated to pet care full-time, meaning your pet gets my undivided attention. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate midday walks, drop-in visits, and hassle-free pickups or drop-offs. Because I am home throughout the day, I can strictly adhere to complex medication schedules and provide continuous, reliable care for your dogs and cats." Safety & Environment on My Farm Your pet will enjoy a fully supervised country getaway. I utilize our spacious farm for structured, leashed walks and secure outdoor play. To ensure safety, pets are strictly monitored around our little pond, and I always check that paws are clean and dry after outdoor time. Because I am home full-time, your pet is never left unattended. Safety & Trust in Your Home When visiting your home for walks or drop-ins, I treat your property and pet with the utmost respect. I follow your exact security instructions, double-check that doors and gates are securely locked, and maintain your pet's precise feeding and medication schedules. My Trust Commitment Backed by multiple dog training programs and hands-on experience managing senior pet health, I am highly attuned to subtle changes in pet behavior or comfort. I offer regular photo updates and transparent communication so you always know your pet is thriving.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always loved taking care of animals. I have experience with dog and cat sitting, as well as some experience with dog training. I currently have two Border Collies and a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs and keeping them active and entertained. I know every pet is different, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the same care, attention, and love I’d give my own. 🐾 I currently work part-time at a local restaurant, but my schedule is pretty flexible, so I can easily work around pet care. I’m also taking college classes online, which gives me the flexibility to be available wherever I am. This makes it easy for me to give your pet plenty of time and attention! I take the safety and well-being of my own pets very seriously, and I would give your pet that same level of care. I’ll make sure they are safe, comfortable, and properly cared for while they’re with me, treating them with the same responsibility and attention I would give my own pets.

About: I’ve been around Dogs all my life. I have Dogs sat for friends, friends of friends in their home in my home, taking a break from corporate world. I’m looking to connect with some more animals Dog specifically I’m professional, loving sweet. I’m someone who hugs and holds animals constantly andas much as possible. Your pet will be loved with me that’s for sure.. I do have a nine year-old professionally trained miniature schnauzer. He would always be with me or hear in my home. He will not necessarily be on walks or check-in, but overnights are boarding in my home. Definitely he’s very very sweet. I would definitely be using my computer during my visits while sitting on the couch with him and if I have any board meetings or interviews, I might also use your Wi-Fi. After many years in a professional career, I’m taking a meaningful break to focus on two things that bring me joy—writing and spending more time outdoors with wonderful dogs. My schedule is intentionally flexible, allowing me to provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care. I believe pet parents deserve to enjoy vacations, work trips, or even a quiet evening out without guilt or worry. While you’re away, your pup will receive genuine companionship, thoughtful care, and plenty of love, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or curling up for cuddles, I’ll happily meet them where they are. I also have an almost 9-year-old, 14-pound Miniature Schnauzer who is professionally trained and truly the sweetest little companion I could ask for. He has a gentle temperament, loves other dogs, and provides calm, friendly company for pups who enjoy having a canine friend. If your dog prefers people over other dogs, I’m equally happy to give them one-on-one attention and will always respect their individual needs and comfort level. I believe in what I call “cuddle care”—gentle affection, belly rubs, calming massages, talking to dogs, and even singing to those who enjoy the extra attention. If your pup isn’t a snuggler, that’s perfectly okay too! I’ll always respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease. My goal is for every visit to be filled with kindness, patience, and positive experiences so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is being cared for like one of my own.

Sandusky, OH, 44870

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a dog and two cats back home, and since I’ve been away for work, I’ve really missed spending time with them. That’s one of the reasons I’m excited to offer pet care through Rover. I’ve also pet sat for others in the past and understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cleaning up after them, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work a 9-5 in Sandusky with 2 days off per week. I would love to spend my days off with your pets, I can also be available early mornings and in the evenings after I get off! You and your pets safety, comfort, and routine will be my number one priority. Since I’m currently unable to have pets at my home, I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet in their own environment.

About: Growing up, we always had multiple dogs that were my responsibility to care for, and I loved every moment of it! I have spent the last several years helping my family and friends with watching, caring for, and walking their dogs when need - I'm the go-to person for them because they know their fury friends are in good hands with me! I have two cats of my own (one male and one female - both spayed/neutered), but I do not have any dogs of my own. I work full time - typically Monday-Friday away from home from 8:30amuntil between 3-5:30pm. Occasionally I work a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday, but this is the typical. If your home is near my work, I usually am available to do walks or check-ins on my lunchbreak. I have a small, non-fenced, yard that works well for quick outside potty breaks but live in an area that is good for dog walks. I have a decent sized home, so any size dog would feel comfortable playing inside. All pets are welcome on the couch - especially for cuddle time - and I have a spare bedroom where they would be welcome in the bed. I have space to hold dog crates if your dog is more comfortable in their own space for sleep.

He took great care of my babies, my home and made my husband and I feel at ease. He was communicative, punctual and transparent. I would recommend James to anyone!

Sabrina was a wonderful house sitter when our normal sitter was already booked. We were on vacation for a week and Sabrina took wonderful care of our dogs and our house. Dogs spent lots of time playing outside while we were gone and were obviously well cared for when we returned. We returned to a clean house and happy dogs. Would definitely book Sabrina again!

About: I don't remember a time in my life when I wasn't surrounded with pets and animals. I grew up with three cats and a dog, had a few gerbals and hermit crabs, helped raise pythons, and get to enjoy dog kisses and and snuggles whenever I want from relative's pets. My grandparents live on a farm and love to help any of creatures us grandkids find. Animals are my passion! As a young entrepreneur trying to take my life and schedule into my own hands, Rover is the perfect way for pet owners to get thorough, compassionate care for their loved fur babies as well as help me attain more clients and doggo kisses for my already established pet sitting services. Looking forward to meeting and working with you!

Monica was truly incredible and one of the best experiences we’ve ever had with a pet sitter. She stayed in our home for four evenings caring for our 3 dogs, our cat, and even our fish, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent consistent photo and text updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it easy to actually relax while we were away. She went above and beyond in so many ways that made a real difference. She washed her dishes, did the hand towels she used, took the time to get our cat’s fountain running again using somewhat tedious directions, and even handled cleaning up some unexpected basement flooding after a major storm. Everything was taken care of thoughtfully and without us having to worry. We came home to a house that looked and smelled incredible. It was spotless, organized, and she paid attention to the smallest details, like setting lights back exactly how we had left them. It genuinely felt like walking into a calm, cared-for space instead of coming home to a to-do list. This experience honestly felt so much better than having a friend or family member help out. There was no guilt, no worrying about being a burden, and no second guessing anything. Monica is clearly experienced and professional, and it shows in how smoothly everything was handled from start to finish. On top of everything else, she is just a genuinely kind, warm, and easy person to communicate with. I was honestly a little sad we didn’t get more time to be home and connect with her because she is such a joy to be around. We tried to make her feel welcome with snacks, cash, and a few small take-home gifts, but it still doesn’t feel like enough compared to the level of care she gave our home and our pets. Monica was truly a gift, and we will absolutely be rebooking with her any chance we get.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Hartland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in West Hartland on Rover is $28.86 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 209 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Hartland. 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 West Hartland 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 Hartland 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 Hartland 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 West Hartland. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
