We had Lucas sit our 4 y/o mix retriever in our house who is energetic but timid & very attached to us. He did an excellent job looking after her by making sure she had appropriate interaction time, play time, feedings, etc. He also gave her the space to deal with us being gone. All-in-all when we returned she was more relaxed and that was due to how well Lucas took care of her and her not having to leave her home for care. We feel Lucas was a fantastic sitter and will continue to book with him for our dog sitting needs. Craig & Sue

I was nervous about using Rover, but Morgan quickly put my mind at ease. Morgan was very friendly, took the time to answer all our questions, was very respectful and professional. Our dog, Sam, is a high energy dog with anxiety issues and Morgan is well-qualified to handle Sam’s needs. She related well to Sam from the get-go and Sam responded to her affectionately from the start. We were able to enjoy an evening out worry-free. Morgan updated us throughout the evening. We have complete confidence in Morgan and look forward to using her services in the future. We would highly recommend Morgan! Thank you Morgan for being a part of Rover! Craig and Sue B.

If I could have given Rebecca more stars I would have. I was leaving my almost 16 yr old dog for a week (a vacation booked a year in advance and to be honest I didn't think I would need a pet sitter) . Chance has mobility and cognitive issues and we hadn't been apart overnight from each other in years. Rebecca came and met myself and Chance. She was very open and asked questions to understand Chance's needs and my wants in terms of care. She was FANTASTIC!!! She was meticulous about his schedule and care. I told her if she had any ideas to improve his life to let me know and she did have a few suggestions that have helped. She stayed in touch with texts and pictures throughout the week. My house was in as good if not better condition than when I left. Chance gained back the 2 pounds he had recently lost before the trip as well as an extra pound. I can't recommend Rebecca highly enough. She truly cares and loves your pet as if they are her own. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.

This is my second time using Kaitlynn and will continue to book her for my pet care. She is prompt, responsible, and truly does go above and beyond when it comes to caring for my dog and for the home while I’m away. I never have to worry about communication or lack of it. She is great about check in photos and notes and will ask questions if needed.

April is seriously the sweetest. She helped us out with a last-minute work trip and still showed up with so much care even while going through a hard time herself. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of and that gave us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciate her and would 100% love working with her again. 💛

About: Welcome! With 15+ years of experience and a genuine love for dogs, I provide a calm, safe, home-away-from-home experience for your pup. I work from home, so when your dog stays with me, they’re never left alone—they have companionship, supervision, and care 24/7. I also only accept one family’s pets at a time, so your dog receives my full attention without the stress of a crowded environment. My fully fenced one-acre yard offers plenty of space to run, play, and explore safely, while inside they’re treated like part of the family. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I look forward to welcoming you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home full-time, which allows me to be fully present and attentive throughout the day. My dogs are part of my life, not just my schedule — and the same goes for any pet I care for. I build my day around walks, enrichment activities, playtime, and quiet moments, making sure each dog gets the stimulation and comfort they need. Rover isn't just a side gig for me — it’s something I genuinely care about. I love being able to share my time and home with other pets, giving them the same level of love and attention I give to my own. In my home, your pet will be treated like one of the family. I have a fully fenced one-acre yard for safe, supervised outdoor play, and two small, friendly dogs to provide companionship if your pup enjoys socializing. I ensure 24/7 access to fresh drinking water, regular bathroom breaks, and a calm, cozy indoor environment where your dog can relax freely — crated only if you prefer. I follow your care instructions closely, including administering any medications as prescribed. Whether it’s maintaining their feeding schedule, providing playtime, or offering extra snuggles, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved — just like they would at home.

I was very apprehensive about leaving our pets with a stranger (especially our highly anxious 5-year-old lab who has never been separated for an extended period of time from her family), but we were desperate to find a sitter at short notice. Farrin came over for a "meet & greet" about a week before the event to get acquainted with Corey (the lab), Farrin came early that morning, stayed all day late into the evening so Corey wouldn't have to be alone. We received a couple of updates during the day from Farrin letting us know how Corey was doing. I couldn't be more pleased with Farrin's friendly, yet professional, demeanor. She deserves (& got) a big tip, and I would definitely hire her again.

This was our first time using someone outside of the family to watch our 13 year old dog. We needed someone who could stay at our house while we were gone because our dog wouldn't do well in a kennel type of environment. We were told about Rover by a friend and when I looked, I saw Warren's 5 star reviews. We had him come by and meet our dog and see if it he would be able to provide the care that our dog needed. Afterwards, we were convinced that Warren was the right one for the job. During our trip we were sent pictures of our dog and updates. After our return, we found that our dog was doing well and we were more than satisfied with the job that Warren had done. We would definitely recommend Warren to anyone in our area looking for a sitter, and we will definitely use him again when needed in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Blades Corner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 813 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blades Corner. 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 Blades Corner 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 Blades Corner 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 Blades Corner 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 Blades Corner. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
