“Heather was brave enough to house sit our cane corso for us, knowing he was going to be scared of her and not likely to warm up to her. She was very patient with him. She said he did finally come take a treat from her but immediately ran away. This was probably the best experience we’ve had with him as he was able to go in and out on his, and he ate every meal after she would leave. We’re very grateful for her!”
“Lori has been so easy to work with. She's been great with communication. Texted me every day and sent pictures of our dog. Cleaned up our dog's accidents. She stayed at our house and we returned to it so neat. She was punctual with coming for her meet-and-greet. Great experience. We would choose her again.”
“This was a last minute booking and I truly appreciate Ben's flexibility. The dogs loved him and the knowledge that my pups were happy and being well cared for is priceless. Ben was communicative throughout and was diligent in obtaining the critical information about diet and personalities of my two dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Patrick is the best. Our dog had never been without someone in the family for more than 15 minutes (!) before we called him... and Sonny didn’t freak out or even miss us at all. Patrick played fetch and sent videos and honestly Sonny loved the attention. Will definitely use Patrick again!”
“Robin was very attentive to my babies and treated them as her own. She kept me updated during the stay with photos and texts. I was very relaxed knowing my girls were all happy! I would definitely use her again!”
About: Hi! I'm Emily, and we just moved to the Avon/Danville border with 10 acres of play room. I have 5 kiddos who will love and snuggle your pet just like you would. Your pet will fit right in with our loving family. We have a military German Shepard (14 years old) who is just a lazy girl anymore but use to different dogs in her home. We have experience in caring for many types of pets and have experience giving medications. I work from home so I am here with them all day so your loved one is not locked in a kennel all day. **Please only select times that you can be here for pick up and drop off. I work from home so I move meetings around the times that you select or kids activities for pick up and drop offs. You not being on time may result in me not be available at the time you decide to show up. I am flexible, but only with communication.** Looking forward to spending time with your pet! I work from home so I am able to have a more strict schedule on letting your loved pet outside, take on walks, and dispense medication. Kids are home and will snuggle and play even more with your pet as wished. I have two friendly dogs and 5 kiddos who can help keep your baby company and well cared for. We really try to follow your schedule. If you crate train, then we will continue your schedule. If not, then we won't. We really try to follow what your pup is used to to ease any anxiety.
“Katie was a hit!!!! With Griffin and with us. Please come back soon!!! Thank you for being an eager player of dog games AND for leaving the house so clean. Five-plus stars for Katie.”
“Allison was great with my 2 pugs. She went above and beyond what I expected. My go loved her. She watered plants, filled Hummingbird feeders and dispensed medicine to one of the girls. She left my house clean and was a joy to work with”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and started pet sitting other people’s pets in high school. I’ve looked after all types of pets such as hermit crabs, rats, rabbits, cats, and dogs. Since then I’ve adopted two kitties of my own and I can’t wait to look after yours! I am happy to stop by for drop in visits before or after my shifts at work or on my days off, send me a message for more specific scheduling. I am very comfortable navigating your home to your needs. I am happy to follow any instruction given and will make sure your fur baby is happy and safely taken care of.
“Faith did a great job she showed up on time and followed my instructions perfectly. Ozzie is a little nervous in his old age and she made sure to spend time with him and keep a close eye on him to keep him settled. I would use Faith again for sure.”
“Sophie provided great care to our fur babies while we were out of town for the weekend! She was attentive to them, communicated well and sent lots of pictures! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous. Sophie put our fears at ease and we couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter. We highly recommend booking with her!”
“Stephanie was amazing with my dogs! I have a senior dog who has a lot of special needs, as well as two younger dogs who need exercise and play time. She did a great job with them! She kept me posted about things. I totally trusted her with my dogs. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Zach went above and beyond. This was our first time using this service. He continously updated us with how our animals were doing and sent countless pictures. He loves animals and will use him again in a heartbeat.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Avon is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avon
Molly was great! Our shy pups took a couple of days to warm up, but they were completely comfortable with her by the end of the stay. She kept our home neat, communicated quickly when we had questions, and made sure our dogs got all their walks. Highly recommend!
If you are looking for someone to trust to watch your pets in your home, Ben is an amazing option! We have taken advantage of his services several times now over the past couple of years. He has great communication, always sends us pictures of our happy pups, and leaves our house very clean! Highly recommend!
Alexis went above and beyond with Alan! Even though we did a meet and greet, he decided to be a cranky senior and had a little stranger danger when she first got to our house after we left. She sent us a message right away and handled the situation like a pro! Alan settled quickly and they were best friends for the rest of the time she stayed at our house. She sent pictures the whole time and was great at communicating with us. It was great knowing he was in such caring hands.
As always Lindsay is great with our dog. She has lots of patience & love for animals. She watched our daughter's dog along with Beau for a family Christmas outing. Pippa is very emotional but they did excellently together. Our Beau is getting on in years so we aren't traveling as he is in his senior years we don't like to leave him! I am glad Beau got to see Lindsay again for Christmas !
Amy is wonderful! She truly cares about my pets. I have cats and dogs and when we are away it's nice to know that someone like Amy is there with them. She sends updates with photos everyday. My pets love her and as long as she is willing I will be using her as my pet sitter :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Avon on Rover is $37.45 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 1,436 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avon. 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 Avon 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 Avon 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 Avon 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 Avon. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
