About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own rescue pup, Wubzy! He’s a high-energy 2-year-old, so I’m very comfortable handling playful, active dogs and making sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like my own—with patience, love, and care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe and happy. I’m reliable, attentive, and always willing to follow any specific routines or instructions you have for your pet. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve! I’m available weekdays from 7am to about 5pm and full-time on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I can adjust my schedule when needed and will always make sure your pet gets consistent care, playtime, and potty breaks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a clean home where dogs can play and relax. I also have friendly dogs who can keep your pup company if they enjoy being social. I’m able to crate your dog if needed and will always follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and treated like family at all times.

“Ashly was amazing with our 2 dogs. She stayed with them for about 11 days and we received multiple updates and photos from the time she was with them. She left our house in amazing condition as well and there were zero issues while we were gone. Would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone!”
“This was Charity's first visit and it was an overnight. I had a LOT of instructions because 1 of my dogs hates one of the other ones, and they need to be separated/rotated, etc. She handled it like a pro! She checked in and and sent pics. I appreciate her professionalism.”
“Madison was great! She took care of our dog, rabbit, and fish tanks for a week in our home and everything was in perfect shape when we came back. We got daily updates and photos of the animals and they all looked like they were having a great time. We will definitely have Madison back!”

About: I took care of my sister's dog for most of last summer and fall. I have developed strong dog-walking skills from this experience as she is quite the timid and confrontational dog. I have learned out to be extremely vigilant when walking a dog and I can read a dog's behavior as well as a human's at this point. My time management skills are par for the course and I have plenty of free time. I have plenty of free time – I have plenty of free time... there.. enough words. I have a fenced yard and beautful quiet neighborhood to walk your dog in. I can also learn the layout of any home and method for taking care of any dog by the standards of any owner within any home.
About: I have experience caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments, with a strong background in working with dogs ranging from small breeds to giant breeds such as Neapolitan Mastiffs and Great Danes. In my current household, I care for five dogs, including two dogs over 100 pounds, two medium sized dogs, and one small Chihuahua. I have raised three dogs from puppyhood, giving me hands on experience with puppy behavior, routine reinforcement, and the changing needs of dogs throughout their lives. I am equally comfortable caring for senior dogs and understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and gentle handling as pets age. I also have experience administering medications when needed and carefully follow all care instructions provided by pet owners. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for cats and have been around animals my entire life. I also personally care for reptiles, including snakes and a crested gecko, and am familiar with specialized feeding and habitat routines. Whether providing in home pet care, house sitting, drop in visits, or dog walking, I approach every service with reliability, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting your pets and hopefully becoming a trusted, regular caregiver for your family. I’m blessed to have a job where I can be flexible during the week, weekends, and holidays. Of course communication is always key 🔑 😃 I can care for pets in your home where they feel most comfortable and not stressed. Your house, your rules - my favorite would be to get to cuddle and play with them!
About: Hi! My name is Amber. I am a teacher-turned-author looking to serve your every doggy need. Growing up, I thought I wanted to be a Vet. I spent every Saturday volunteering at the Ross Country Humane Society from ages 10-18 and was part of the Humane Society of the United States Advisory Board. I have spent thousands of hours with animals in shelters/rescues. After much prayer and consideration, God led me to writing instead of Veterinary work. I have experience in pet and house sitting, boarding, and walking. I love pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes, but have a particular soft spot for golden retrievers, huskies, and terrier mixes. As an author, I love showing love to animals and find it to be an excellent and comforting mind-break. Since getting married, I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house/pet sitting in Chillicothe, Ohio. I don't currently own any pets of my own. I have worked with large and small pets and enjoy spending time with them. From pen to paws, I love serving your dogs through walking, feeding, bathroom breaks, running, and playing. I'm your sitter with a smile and an author who lives to serve! :) I am a full-time teacher-turned-author so I work from home. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine as I make my schedule. Walking dogs, conducting drop-in visits, and house/pet sitting give me the mental break I need. Other than Church, or running errands, I am pretty flexible with needs. I offer complimentary photos and videos, check-in texts and messages, lots of love, walks, exercise, treats, and fun! Every pet has a stay like they are one of my pets. As mentioned, I don't currently don't have any pets of my own, but I grew up with dogs.
“Bansi was excellent with Chris! He is an easygoing dog who loved being outside, and she was sure to give him plenty of walks and even sent me some pictures of my happy little guy. Her communication and flexibility was excellent; she made me comfortable about going out of town!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Yellowbud
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 944 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yellowbud. 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 Yellowbud 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 Yellowbud 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 Yellowbud 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.

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.
