“Ashley is the best, she takes such good care of my boys, even if they are not behaving. She loves them like they are her own, she is one in a million so grateful for her.”
“Penny took amazing care of my Nala. Sent pictures every day, which made me feel so much better about leaving her while I went away. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to take care of my fur baby. I would recommend Penny for anyone who’s looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I work as an assistant at a vet clinic, meaning I know how to handle medically and behaviorally demanding animals. I’ve been pet sitting for many years, from puppies to large dogs and many species, even once a squirrel. Pet care fits into my schedule around my work at the clinic. I have a lunch break during which I can drop in and let out dogs for a midday potty break, or if they can’t go longer than 4-6 hours alone, I can bring them with me to work. I have a lot of experience with animals because I work at a clinic. I believe each pet has individual needs specific to them and that they should deserve care tailored to them. My time at the clinic means I know what to look out for in the case of medical emergencies and allows me easy access to a medical provider for your pet.
About: I have provided pet care for family, friends, and neighbors through overnight house and dog sitting, dog walking, feeding, and daily care. I have also worked at a kennel, which gave me experience with a variety of dogs and a stronger understanding of basic dog behavior. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making each pet feel comfortable, cared for, and safe while their family is away. I’m a full-time student at Cedarville University with extra time this year to care for your treasured furry family members. I’m available on weekends and would love to feed, play with, walk, and build a great rapport with both you and your dog. I’ll provide reliable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! As a previous dog sitter, I understand how important a clean, healthy environment is for a happy pet to thrive. Safety is always one of my top priorities for your dog, your home, and myself. I will follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet’s space clean and secure, and make sure they receive the necessary attention, exercise, and supervision they need while you’re away. I will also make sure your home remains safe and secure, and I will not invite or allow any guests into your home; only I will be present while caring for your pet.
“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!”
“Karson was great! She kept me updated the whole time and sent lots of pictures, which made me feel so much better being away from my dogs. Everything was taken care of when I got home, and she even took the trash out before she left, which was so thoughtful. I’d definitely book with her again!”
About: I've raised animals, mammals and reptiles mostly, my entire life. I'm known amongst my friends and family as "snow white", because creatures of all kinds seem to enjoy my presence to a strange degree, something I'm very grateful for. The well-being of your pet is my number one priority, I am attentive and detail oriented in my care style. If your pup is up for it, I can run around the backyard with your dog for hours on end! I currently work full-time at AllPaws Retreat, where I manage groups of 30+ dogs at a time; reading body language, redirecting energy, gentle behavior correction, capturing momentary obedience training opportunities, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments is the bulk of my day. In a client's home, water bowls will be kept full, any accidents will be cleaned as soon as possible, and I will adhere to your desired feeding schedule. If you have a backyard or a private outdoor area, I will gladly spend time with your pet there, making sure they don't get too scratched up or dehydrated from play. I will be in contact with you throughout the duration of the sitting period. Daily fun pictures will be sent! I will mention concerns over noticed behaviors that seem out of the ordinary or indicative of possible health conditions. My work schedule is very fluid, if you give me two weeks prior notice I can even clear my previous work schedule for your convenience. My two cats are fed twice a day, with their box being cleaned every morning and night. My youngest child, a ball python of 5 years is currently on medium sized rats, which he gets approximately every 2 weeks At a client's home, I will make sure to stay within designated animal areas if you so desire, keep the animal hydrated and fed as needed (also according to your desired feeding schedule) Any bathroom accidents will be cleaned by my own hand asap, taking care of animals is in my blood.
“Alexias took wonderful care of my cats! She went above and beyond and even took one to the vet. Would highly recommend her to anyone and would request her again if I need them looked after. Thank you, Alexias!”
“Jennifer was great with my 5 fur babies!! They all warmed up to her super fast. She sent pics and updates every day. I came home to happy animals. I would love to book her again in the future.”
“Tatum was the most respectful, loving, and caring sitter for my new puppy! She was very knowledgeable about dogs! She did everything I asked and followed directions clearly. Tatum also sent me a ton of pictures and text updates throughout her stay at my apartment. I am so happy I found her as my sitter!!! After I had a tough time with a different sitter in the past, she definitely made me feel comforted that my puppy was taken care of. Very professional care! I will be using her as much as possible!”
“Katie did a great job caring for our 2 dogs! We got frequent updates and pictures while we were away for a week. She was flexible with our needs and our dogs were happy and healthy when we got home! We would recommend her and plan to use her again!”

“Hana is such an angel!! She was so willing to look after my pets on a short notice and stay in my home. She even brought treats for them and sent daily updates with pictures :) My pets were so loved during her stay and the house was in better condition than when I left. I will definitely be asking for her services in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 489 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yatesville. 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 Yatesville 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 Yatesville 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Yatesville 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.
