“I had a great experience with this sitter! Antonio was so nice and responsive, keeping me updated throughout the stay. The pups were clearly well taken care of and happy. He left the house clean and followed instructions provided. Will definitely be using Antonio again!”
“This is our second time working with Diana and we can’t recommend her enough. Our old dogs can be pretty high maintenance, but she does a great job caring for them when we’re away. Thank you!”
“I had the pleasure of having Hunter and Elia house sit and take care of my fur babies -first time ever having a house/dog sitter and I am very happy. Hunter sent pictures and took care of them wonderfully. I will definitely hire them again . They are so sweet and friendly and professional all at the same time! Loved them!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was so fortunate that Jovelle was our dog sitter! She was so prompt responding to my messages and was so patient with my many questions. She came over for a Meet and Greet and I instantly knew she’d be great for our lab, Stewart! During our time away, Jovelle sent daily updates along with many pictures of Stewart enjoying his walks, playtime, treat time and he always had a smile on his face. She was very communicative which made me feel comfortable and I knew Stewart was in good hands. I can’t recommend Jovelle enough, she was wonderful!!”
“Sydney was very sweet with my pets and sent me pictures to let me know my cat was thriving while I was away. She was communicative and responsible, following all my instructions. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, from fostering puppies and kittens from the animal shelter to raising many dogs and cats! My family raised me to be an animal lover as we care for animals in such a different way. I have done overnight sittings, walkings, and day care visits for many friends and family and decided to join here to expand my abilities! I love getting to know all different kinds of animals and being able to provide them the love and care they need while their owners are away. I am currently going to start sonography school and I am not able to work a full-time job as a result I would love to watch your babies.I usually like to go for walks so it would be easy to fit any animal in my schedule as well! I have a big teddy bear of a dog that is the most spoiled rescue dog ever! If i am staying at the owners house I let them feel comfortable sleeping with me and I always clean up after myself if at someone else’s house and make sure to always keep the house tidy!
“Absolutely stellar care! Myra provided such living and attentive care to our somewhat troublesome cur, who took to her like butter on warm bread. Myra kept us up to date with beautiful photographs and humorous commentary. She’s a delight and we look forward to our next engagement already!”
“Paulo has been fantastic. My lil guy shadow is timid and fearful therefore he barks a lot and can be tough to befriend but Paulo remained persistent and kind. Him and shadow are on their way to best friend status. Other news is that he was punctual and so friendly. He’s easy to work with. I will work with him again.”
About: I’ve had dogs every since I was a kid, I have had experience with dog that show aggression. I know that every dog is different and you need to listen to the signs that they show you I’m a dependable, active, and caring animal lover who understands that pets are family. I enjoy spending time outdoors, staying active, and making sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or a slower pace, I’m committed to creating a safe, positive experience tailored to their needs. I’m responsible, communicative, and will treat your pets with the same care I would give my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands.

I make sure they receive regular walks, playtime, feeding according to instructions, fresh water, and plenty of attention and affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, and any specific needs or routines they have. I also prioritize safety by keeping a clean environment, monitoring behavior changes, and following all owner instructions carefully. My goal is to make pets feel secure, cared for, and stress-free while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands.
“Becca is the absolute best! Not only do our doggies love her, but her responsiveness, professionalism, and sheer adoration for fur babies makes her the perfect pet sitter. We have used Becca’s services several times now, and each time the dogs are returned happy and exhausted. Becca is friendly and compassionate, and would be an excellent sitter for any animal of any age. She has also helped train my 6 month old puppy, and wow what a difference it has made! Thank you for everything, Becca, you are a rock star!!!”
“I’ve known Vicky for sometime now and she’s always been mature, responsible and a pet lover. So when I found out she does pet sitting, it was a no brainer that I’d be booking with her. She was communicative and was definitely invested in caring for my cats. Especially my senior who requires oral meds. My youngest cat warmed up to her so quickly to my surprise!! Definitely will book with her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover for our 2 toy poodles and we could not be happier. Calvin is THE BEST! He kept us updated with pictures throughout our weekend getaway and took the best care of our fur babies, and our condo! We’ll definitely have Calvin watch our puppies from now on and can’t thank him enough for everything. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!”
About: I have been taking care of pets (none professional) since I was in diapers, I also currently volunteer at Antioch Animal Shelter. I have more experience with pets 1 year+ but I’m comfortable with younger pets as well. I do have another job but we get to pick our own schedules so there will be no issues there. I can work with your schedule I treat pet sitting like babysitting, your baby, your rules. Whatever you decide for your pet is what I will do no questions asked. I would never want to come into someone else’s home and change the way you do things. If there is anything I’m uncomfortable with I will be sure to communicate it effectively and immediately.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Hartley
Carla was absolutely amazing with Snoop! She stayed in our home for a full week and went above and beyond in every way. She kept up with his training, walked him regularly, played with him, and truly gave him so much love and attention. Our home was left spotless, and we felt completely at ease the entire time thanks to her frequent updates and tons of photos. It was clear Snoop was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’re incredibly impressed and grateful for the care she provided. We will 100% be using Carla again and give her our highest recommendation and rating.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Hartley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Hartley on Rover is $43.29 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 4,530 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Hartley. 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 Hartley 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 Hartley 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 Hartley 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.
