I recently hired Dominique as a dog sitter for the first time, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the moment we met, Dominique exuded professionalism and warmth, which instantly put my mind at ease. She was incredibly attentive to my dogs’ needs and took the time to understand their personalities and quirks. I loved receiving regular updates and photos throughout her stay, which not only reassured me but also showed how much she cared for my pets. Dominique went above and beyond to ensure that my dogs were happy and comfortable, and it was clear they adored her. If you're looking for a reliable and friendly dog sitter, I highly recommend Dominique! She's truly a gem, and I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you, Dominique, for taking such great care of my furry babies!

I really appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent — it made me feel confident they were in great hands. Tiffany went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!

Melissa was great and Rocky loved her! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous but Melissa eased my mind. Not being used to “strangers” staying with him, Rocky had some separation anxiety. Melissa was very straightforward about it and kept me updated the whole time. I made some suggestions and she tried them all. I would love to have Melissa stay with Rocky again if she’s interested.

About: I've been around and taken care of dogs my entire life. Through my own pets along with friends and family, I've been trusted to care for a variety of dogs thru out the years. Thanks for trusting me with your best fur friend! I'm currently working PT and obtaining my yoga teacher training course so I have plenty of open availability for services whether thats dog walking or sitting. I have a fenced in yard where my own dog Cosmo plays and can certainly crate your dog if needed. I am also available for dog sitting and am comfortable with any home set up.

Hana was an absolutely amazing sitter! From the start, she was super communicative and made us feel completely at ease. She sent regular updates and adorable pictures, which we really appreciated. It was clear my pups were in great hands! On top of that, she was incredibly respectful of our home—she cleaned up after herself and somehow left the place nicer than she found it! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone responsible, caring, and thoughtful, Hana is the one! Will definitely be booking with her again.

About: I love dogs and I can’t imagine life without them. I own two big dogs and would love to walk/take care of your dog as well! I am very flexible - currently working only part-time, so I can always adjust my schedule. I am also available on the weekends and holidays. I am a dog lover and also a very responsible and a caring person, so I will always make sure every dog is well taken care of and safe.

Elizabeth was great! She was flexible in willing to meet us and our pets in person. She also sent us updates while we were away and never complained about Dia once, even though Dia is sometimes difficult to motivate to go outside. Elizabeth even took our trash out for us, which was a bonus favor that was not requested or expected! We will definitely be booking her again.

Lucas (Jorges son) treated our dogs to tons of snuggles and plenty of walks, he had good communication and held to our rather strict rules. When we came home our house exactly as we had left it. Lucas was very conscientious. (With the oversight of his parents). Our dogs were happy. Do not hesitate to reach out to Jorge.

This is the second time that Tanisha has pets it for me and she did a great job. She's very patient with my dogs, especially my dog who is reactive. The house was clean and tidy when I got home and both the dogs were extremely happy. I will happily have Tanisha sit for us again in the future.

Dominique went above and beyond with Finley! Dominique graciously fixed an issue caused by a previous sitter, where Finley suffered from heightened anxiety and allergies. Dominique ensured Finley was given his medications appropriately, so he could heal and relax. She also kept me informed of his progress, so I wasn’t worried about him. Thank you Dominique for taking such good care of Finley!!

Abby was a life saver for us. We usually use family to help with our pets so using someone not family brought me a level of anxiety i wasn’t ready for. First impression of Abby was professional and prompt. The animals Immediately loved her and she asked all the right questions to ease this fur mom’s anxiety. Having her able to stay at our home was added peace of mind. We came home to happy pets and a clean home. I’m so thankful to have found Abby.

FAQs for House Sitting - Aquia Harbour

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Aquia Harbour on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 3,384 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Aquia Harbour. 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 Aquia Harbour 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 Aquia Harbour 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 Aquia Harbour 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Aquia Harbour. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
