About: When I was in middle school, my science teacher went to the Philippines for the whole summer. I took care of her mices, dogs, guinea pigs and more. Growing up in Iowa, I have been around many animals including dogs. Also I have had friends who traveled to Europe and they had to leave their poodles, black labs and many more and trusted their dogs in my care at their home for a month or two weeks if needed when I lived in Washington state before moving to Honeoye Falls. When I dog sat, I made sure I gave medicine as instructed to the dogs as needed. I played with them, took them hiking, the beach, cuddled on the couch and learned about what they liked and don’t like and what makes them happy. I made sure that their owners were happy as well. When I was asked to come and dog sit again, the dogs would be waiting at the window waiting for my arrival. These dogs were sure happy to see me when I came back to dog sit them! I have plenty of time to play with your pups 🐶I would be available for boarding on the weekends and week days after 4pm. I would be happy to give lots of love and attention/play to your fur babies! I have a fenced yard and have two fur babies who love to socialize. I also love to spoil your dogs too! I work from home twice a week and can pet sit on the weekends as well! As for dog sitting in the client’s home I would treat your place with respect, love and care. Anything you need I will make sure that your pets receive it. I will also communicate and send pictures!
“Mia was dig- whisperer with my new rescue, Remy. He barked incessantly when they met and was kissing her by the Time I got home. She took great care of the menagerie and sent great pics.”
“Laurie was amazing with our 4 furbabies (2 cats and 2 dogs). She even dealt with the drama of the 4th of July. She sent pics and updates everyday so we missed them less. Highly highly recommend Laurie!”
“Parker had excellent communication and sent us pictures of our boys while we were away. 2 weeks was a long time but I felt good knowing they were taken care of by someone who genuinely cared. He took great care of the house as well.”
“Aziya was very attentive, came to the house for all information regarding her stay and care for Brie. Brie was very happy and healthy when we came home. House was clean, sheets and towels washed. She was very responsive, sent us pics and updates.”
“This was our first time having someone we didn’t know watch our pups. Elizabeth put our minds at ease so we could enjoy some time away by how professional, caring, and thorough she was with the dogs. She kept up up to date, but wasn’t over the top about it at all, and walked, played with, and fed them on time every day. We could not have been happier and will definitely use her again!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Camille! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She gave lots of love, attention, and playtime—and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camille is reliable, kind, and professional—we will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care. ★★★★★”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and we were skeptical however Kayligh was amazing. Our dog and cat loved her and when we got back we couldn’t even tell she had been there. The house was how we left it. We will definitely be booking again. She also stayed an extra hour which was really nice, walked the dog, cuddled and played with our dog and sent us pictures. She also got back to us really quickly when we had questions which made us feel like she cared.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life especially bigger dogs like German shepherds. But I recently got a black lab golden mix and would love to bring him over for a puppy play date:) I’m currently working full time but I can make a visit either before or after I get out to play with your pets and make sure they get the care they need! It would definitely brighten up my day as well before going in and give me something to look forward to after:) I have a friendly golden lab mix to help keep your fur babies company if you would like. He loves to play and is such a sweetheart
About: Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have experience caring for my own pets as well as my family’s pets. I’ve helped with everyday care including feeding, providing fresh water, potty breaks, keeping them comfortable, and of course, giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I genuinely love animals and take pride in creating a safe, happy, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I’m responsible, attentive, patient, and always happy to learn about each pet’s unique personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing by your side, I’m excited to give them the care and attention they deserve! I look forward to continuing to grow my knowledge and experience while making sure every pet feels loved, safe, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I just got a new full time job Monday-Friday 2-11 PM I’ll be working 8 hour evenings. I’ll be happy to work around our schedules. My mom is allergic to most pets so I provide in-home pet care services. When I care for pets in their own home, I follow the specific instructions provided by the pet owners. This includes feeding them, giving them fresh water, taking them for walks, and providing playtime and companionship. I also ensure that their living space is clean and tidy. The goal is to make the pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away.
“Alex and Bethany were fantastic with my 3 dog crew. Even at the meet and greet it was evident that my dogs would be in good care. They asked great questions to learn about the dogs. The pictures that we got were so reassuring. The communication was perfect. This was hands down the best experience we have had with Rover. 10 out of 10 recommend.”
About: I have experience dog sitting for various breeds and sizes, providing attentive care and companionship. My responsibilities included daily walks, feeding, administering medication, and keeping a safe environment. My goal is to create a comfortable and happy atmosphere for each dog while giving their owners peace of mind while they’re away. I am a graduate student studying for my masters degree. With only classes to work around I will work to take care of your pets around my schedule. I make sure to take into account an owners wants and needs. Whether it is my own home or a clients I will ensure that your pet is well cared for and taken care of.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. We have always had at least one dog in the house if not more. In the past 6 years I have helped my parents to puppy train twice. I love dogs unconditionally, but I am not afraid to show a little tough love when needed. I’m currently going back to school and attend a lot of local sporting events but I still make it a priority to take my dog for a walk daily. Whether we fit in a walk before I leave in the morning or in-between class and a game, I know how much she loves her walks. I also make sure to give her ample play time when I am home. I make sure that whether the pet is in a fenced in yard or not I am always keeping an eye on them when outside. I always respect the clients wishes regarding their animal being on furniture, in what rooms, and such on.
About: I’ve loved and cared for all animals since I was young. Groomed, walked, played with, fed, cleaned, cuddled, and loved. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, etc. I currently work, but always have time for animals and caring for them. I have pets of my own that I care for as well. Evenings, weekends, and holidays, I’m available to assist, even on a last minute basis. I provide a calm, yet playful and welcoming personality to all animals I know, love, and just meet. Lots of love, attention, food and treats always keeps animals happy and comfy, especially when their loved ones are away. You can count on me, your loved pets will be safe and happy upon your return!
“Sharon and James sat with our guys in home for a week, did great with the indoor pets and the poultry didn’t scare them off. Everything went well, they were very communicative throughout, and everyone was calm and happy when we got back!”

FAQs for House Sitting - West Rush
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 525 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Rush. 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 Rush 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 Rush 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 Rush 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
