“This is the 2nd time Kimberly has cared for our two dogs, Jax and Sierra. She is excellent at communicating and sending pics. She takes great care of the dogs and our home and even watered our garden for us. We returned to a spotless home and two happy doggies. It is such a joy to be able to be away and know that our dogs are being so well cared for. We highly recommend Kim and plan to use her many times in the future ( next sit is already booked).”
“Daniela was very friendly and communicative, and took fantastic care of our dogs. She’s asks questions proactively and goes the extra mile to ensure she’s prepared for any emergency that might be thrown her way. 10/10”
“Great house and pet sitter! She has been a reliable and repeat care giver for our pets and wonderful house sitter while we are away. Prompt communications and able to adjust to the unexpected scenario. Definitely someone who I will request again.”
“Kati was more than amazing, and was so sweet to send updates, pics of the potty trips, and you’d never know that she was even here for three days! Beyond thankful and grateful for her! Cannot wait to book her next time!”
“I needed someone that was comfortable with German Shepherds and would watch my dog at our house. Melissa was a perfect fit. I had her walk my dog, Duke, with me a couple days before leaving town and then was gone for 7 days. She did a wonderful job and spoiled my Duke while also feeding my fish and bringing in mail. I would definitely recommend Melissa”
“Zia was fantastic. Excellent communication, daily updates, and kept the house spotless! Our boxer was very comfortable with her. She was timely, and even stayed a little late when we had a late return flight so our boy wouldn’t have to be inside too long. Very professional, and clearly loves animals. We will be reaching out again in the future!”
“We were so pleased with Mariaisabel. She took such great care of our senior pup, who needs a little extra TLC and attention. She provided great updates and we came home to a happy pup and a home that looked untouched. Would highly recommend her dog sitting services.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up surrounded by dogs of all kinds. I’m gentle and patient with senior pups and comfortable giving medications when needed. I’m also an active person, so your pets will get plenty of walks, playtime, and love. And it’s not just dogs—I’ve cared for cats too, so every furry friend is welcome! I am currently part time in school and have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays- so limited availability for drop in’s on those days. Other than that I work from home so I am able to move around and work from wherever. I’m very flexible with how you’d like me to care for your pets, and I always check in to make sure I’m following their routine just right. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities; I stay attentive and keep a close eye on them at all times. I love to play, give plenty of cuddles, and create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and cared for.
“Carissa was a lovely dog/house sitter who stayed in communication our entire trip! She was wonderful with our two large dogs and left our house very clean. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Grace was so amazing and cared for our pups extremely well, we knew they were in great hands. She sent us lots of photos and made sure to send us constant updates. She was super intentional in asking all the best ways to care for our dogs. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Really quick to reply, especially on short notice. Watched both dogs pretty late into the night (past midnight). Arrived early. Communicated often. Went well -- will book again!”
“The meet between Michelle &jade was great from the start! I felt safe &comfortable leaving her in my home for 5 days. I received photos and updates everyday. She took her for walks and gave jade lots of love ( I can tell from the pics). I also returned home to a clean house. Thank u soo much! Your the best”
“Correy has an instant rapport with dogs. Within minutes Chester was sitting by his feet. He followed all instructions to the t and followed up with us to ensure that we were able to arrive at home as expected. I highly recommend him, and we will use his services again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 12. I’ve watched numerous neighbors’ pets for weekends and trained and raised my own puppy. I’ve also grown up watching and taking care of two dogs, and I’ve cared for dogs and cats of most ages, breeds, and sizes! I work at an elementary school during the week, so most of my availability is during the evening and on weekends! I’m easily able to fit your pup (or kitty) into my daily routine! I’ve spent the night at neighbors’ and friends’ homes before to care for their pets. I’m available to take your dog on as many walks as he/she needs and I love playing games with pups outside or indoors, whichever your home allows.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for about 3 years, and I also worked at a doggy daycare for a year! During that time, I gained experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Working at a daycare taught me how important patience and understanding are, especially when dogs miss their owners, feel anxious, or don’t want to eat. I know every dog is different, and I always take the time to understand their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule and availability change each semester depending on my classes. I also work part-time on weekends, but I have free time during the week that I would love to spend caring for dogs! While weekdays are generally easier for me, I’m also open to weekend pet sitting and would be happy to discuss availability in advance. I think pet sitting fits perfectly into my college routine because it allows me to do something I genuinely enjoy while balancing school and work. I love spending time with dogs, and I truly believe their companionship would brighten my day just as much as I hope to brighten theirs! Since I currently live in a college dorm, I only offer pet care in the owner’s home. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away. I believe keeping them in a familiar environment and maintaining their usual routine can make a big difference! I’m very respectful of each owner’s home and always make sure to follow any instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs their dog may have. With my previous dog sitting and daycare experience, I know how to be patient with dogs of different personalities and help them feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands!
“Kerstin had a nice overnight stay with Sadie. The house was immaculate when I returned home, and Sadie was a happy girl. I know she had lots of attention and snuggles! I would definitely use Kerstin again.”
“Kaileigh took excellent care of our pups while we were away for a summer wedding. She was very attentive, sent lots of photos and made sure they were well cared for. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Zoar Heights
Kati was amazing! We have a big Rottweiler who can be very shy with strangers and she warmed up to Kati very quickly- she definitely has a way with dogs. She sent pictures and updates throughout our vacation which gave us a ton of peace. The house was beautiful when we got home, too. Highly, highly recommended Kati!
We had a wonderful experience with Irma has our house/dog sitter. She took great care of our girls, sent lots of photos, and kept us updated throughout our trip. Her communication was excellent, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Irma. As a matter of fact we have already rebooked her!
Nat was truly awesome. She gave us frequent updates of our animals - and always asked how we preferred our indoor/outdoor cat. She stayed over for a few nights to watch the animals and left it cleaner than she arrived (despite having a housekeeper). We plan to use Nat in the future and she’s a huge stress relief while you’re traveling.
If you are looking for a house/pet sitter who is conscientious, deeply compassionate, and thoroughly professional, look no further than Kimberly. She treated our home with the utmost respect and went above and beyond to keep our baby girl Abby Rose safe, loved, and entertained. The proactive communication and daily photo updates were wonderful and allowed us to truly relax on our trip. We will definitely be booking again with Kimberly for our next vacay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Zoar Heights is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $87 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Zoar Heights 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 Zoar Heights 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 Zoar Heights 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
