“I had a lot on my mind today with a medical need in the family. I am so happy that I have a reliable sitter that cares so well for my dog. Thank you Vick for caring for Sophia!.”
“I had a great experience! Michele took wonderful care of Magggie and my home whileaway. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was comfortable at home and in great hands. Communication was excellent, everything was well taken care of, and I came home to a happy dog. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was born and have lots of experience providing care for many ages, behaviors, and disabilities. Over the last few years, I have aided with foster dog care, and while it can be challenging, it is very rewarding. Over the last few years, I have seen seniors, puppies, and pregnant dogs come through the home, and I always try to provide the best care I can while trying to find homes that are a good fit! I am working a part-time job at Carthage College and have ample time to help provide care. During the weekdays, I am quite flexible with my availability. On weekends I have lots of flexibility as well in order to provide ample support and care for pets. I am very active, so I am more than willing to provide walks and activities for your pup! If your dog needs medication, I am able to administer it when needed. I can also provide time outside and around the home if the dog must be in a crate.
“Brandi is absolutely a treasure, we are so grateful to have her as our puppy caretaker while we are away. Our puppies absolutely love her! Our Bailey is very shy and a bit skittish, but Brandi has won her over with her kind and sweet demeanor. We always know our pups are in great hands when Brandi is here with them. 🐾🩷”
About: I’ve experienced helping with pets since a young age, including my own childhood pup, and worked 2 years at a boarding and grooming facility playing with, caring for, and interacting with all kinds and sizes of pets and pups!! Balancing pet care services with my full-time cosmetology studies, Tuesday through Friday, requires careful time management, but it’s become a rewarding part of my routine. After my morning classes, or before my night classes, I typically set aside a few hours in day—whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing basic grooming services. This flexibility allows me to earn extra income and unwind from the intensity of my studies while giving me the chance to practice patience and attention to detail, skills that are also vital in cosmetology. It’s a great way to stay grounded and connect with animals while continuing to work towards my professional goals. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to follow their specific instructions to ensure the pets feel comfortable and safe. I take the time to get to know each pet's routine—whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime preferences, or medication needs—and stick to it as closely as possible. I also make sure their living spaces are clean and organized, providing a calm and familiar environment for the animals. Whether it’s taking them for walks, giving them attention, or just keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel loved and well cared for while their owners are away.

I am responsible, patient, and committed to providing your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I'll always respect your home as if it were my own. My place is too small to host pets, but I'm more than happy to take care of your babies at your home or stop by for visits!

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I grew up with dogs and now enjoy my own dog and watching my kiddos create their own memories with our dog Jack. We enjoy the outdoors and go on a lot of walks and hikes with Jack. I am a teacher looking for a side hustle after 3pm on weekdays and full availability on weekends and Summer.

“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and truly treat every pet like my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to check in, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re at work or away on vacation. I’m a mom of two who works from home, which allows me to have a flexible and reliable schedule. I’m available for pet care between 8:00am–2:30pm and again from 4:00pm–8:00pm most days. Because I’m home based, I’m able to consistently show up on time, provide dependable care, and give your pets the attention they need during the day while you’re at work or away. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always treat any pet with respect, care, and attention to detail. I follow all instructions closely, keep doors secured, and make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable at all times. I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether that means giving them space or extra attention. I also provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for just like they would with you 🫶🏻
“Stephen and Wipawee watched our dog for the second time. They took excellent care of him. They kept us informed with pictures and updates throughout our trip. They were very respectful of our home and even brought in our mail and took our trash out to the curb. 100% recommend them and will definitely ask them to dog sit again in the future!”
“This is the second time Heidi has housesit for our dog and two cats, and they were well looked after during our week and a half away. She went above and beyond for one of our cats and everyone was happy when we returned. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Joseph was great! Our dog Rudy has many health issues and a lot of attention with his medications. He did a great job giving him his meds. He was also great with texting us and sending us pictures.”
“Kendra was fantastic! She is a great communicator with lots of updates and pictures. ♥️ She walked the dogs often and knew how to handle our dog that barks at others on a leash! Thank you for taking great care of the crew!”
About: I started taking care of animals, both cats and dogs, 11 years ago! I've provided animal care services for family members, friends, and for other families through referrals! It's extremely enjoyable to me when I get the privilege to take care of a new animal.! I never want a owner to worry their animal might be too much for me as I've dealt with a variety of dogs and cats in both size and temperament- I can handle practically anything! A majority of my animal care (if not all) has involved me staying the night for a week or two with the animal/s. I love to spend a lot of time and be active with the animals! Whatever was needed and instructed in care maintenance for a clients animal- I've happily handled with ease! As of right now I'm doing freelance work, so my availability is pretty open! If you select me for a specific pet care need, we can discuss it together and come up with a plan that best fits your needs! I care for my pets as if they were my own and through the clients instructions on how to care for their animal! Whatever the client is asking of me and for their animal needs, I will happily fulfill with ease and make sure their pet is taken care of!
“Haylee was great with Duke and Zoe. She was communicative and sent pictures and videos. Given that Zoe is older and has a few special needs, she managed our anxiety about leaving her very well. Her experience with large dogs and meds was super helpful and put us at ease.”

Chirelle stayed with our dog Winston for 8 days. She took excellent care of both our pup and our home while we were away. Winston has some resource guarding issues, and with our guidance she worked through those perfectly. She also kept our garden watered and our home clean. We will call on her services again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Abells Corners is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $42 per night.

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 Abells Corners 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 Abells Corners 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 Abells Corners 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.
