About: Growing up, my family has owned many dogs and other pets, and I have always been heavily involved in their care. I had a dog walking business a few years ago, and I regularly watched the dogs of our friends and neighbors. My family also fostered a dog for a time, which I was heavily involved in. Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to walk and care for many different dogs through Rover. Throughout all of these experiences, I have had to care for many different types of dogs, both big and small, and old and young. As a result, I am comfortable with all types of breeds and know how to navigate challenges when it comes to pet care. Most importantly, I love dogs! I am available every day of the week from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. I am very flexible and can always find time to accommodate other schedules. Please check my calendar for any days marked unavailable. When caring for dogs in the homes of others, I make sure that they are comfortable, well fed, and loved. When walking dogs, I always make sure to go at their pace, pick up after them, and keep them safe.
“This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“We are so fortunate to have found Kalpana on Rover! She took excellent care of our two dogs, (and also our home) for 9 days. The pups were happy and enjoyed nice twice daily walks, backyard play and snuggles. Kalley took care of their feeding including a daily med for one dog. It was clear that the dogs were totally comfortable and happy with her and she spent a lot of quality time with them. We didn't need to worry about package deliveries, trash day, or watering plants - those were taken care of. Kalley left our home immaculate, even washing sheets and making up the bed fresh. We definitely plan to use Kalley again when dog-/house-sitting comes up again.”
“Lindsey was absolutely amazing! Samson took to her immediately, which says a lot because he doesn't instantly warm up to everyone. She was so kind, patient, and loving with him, and it was obvious from the start that she's a true dog person. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely trust Lindsey to watch Samson again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog sitter!”

“Brooke was amazing! She stayed at our house for 9 days watching our dog, our chickens, and a newly acquired gecko. She is an excellent communicator, keeping us informed every day with pictures and quick updates. She was an amazing houseguest, and left the house cleaner than when she got here. Our pets loved having her here and so did we. We will definitely book Brooke again.”
“Kim was amazing with our high maintenance little dachshund. We are so appreciative of her attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism. Your pup will be in great hands with Kim!”

“Raquel took great care of my dog and left my home in pristine condition while house sitting. She was highly communicative throughout the stay and made sure that my dog went out for plenty of walks and had lots of indoor play time. My dog does not do well with other dogs and Raquel did a great job in avoiding any issues while on walks. I would highly recommend Raquel’s services!”
About: My family has raised goats and chickens since I was around 10, and have had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I've grown up around animals my whole life and I am accustomed to caring for goats, chickens, dogs, and cats! I'm currently home in Northern Virginia from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time to play with and care for all of your animals!! I have a fenced in yard for dogs as well as plenty of space to take them for walks! As well, I have litter boxes/safety measures set up for my 4 cats. I have 8 goats and 13 chickens so I'm used to making sure the outdoor animals are safe from predators and locked safely into their houses at night.
About: Since childhood I've always loved animals and their companionship. Now, I live in a townhouse in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful walking trail which is great for walks. I work from home with regular hours. This allows me plenty of opportunities to go on walks or play breaks. I always make an effort to keep your pet on the same schedule it's used to. It's my priority that your pet in comfortable in my home and I'm always happy to send picture/video updates. Please feel free to reach out anytime. I'm normally very responsive.
“Kiana was absolutely awesome with my pups! She was very affectionate and attentive towards them. Her communication with me was amazing and I felt so safe to leave my babies with her.”
“Sofia is absolutely fantastic. This was the first time I used someone on Rover and she made me feel so comfortable and at ease while I was on vacation. Her love for animals shined through the moment she met my foster cats and I could feel her love for them in every message and photo. I got lots of photos of her cuddling with them, giving them attention and being near them. They opened up to her immediately and as a pet (foster) parent, there’s no better feeling. I will absolutely message Sofia again in the future if I ever need a pet sitter, and I will be recommending her to anyone who says they want an attentive pet sitter!!!”
“Tony seemed completely at ease with Diana and seemed to settle into his normal routine. I loved the updates, in which he looked truly happy. This was our best experience so far with an overnight sitter and we would gladly book again with Diana!”
“We used Marsha and she was wonderful!! It was a seamless situation and we will definitely use her again!!! Very polite, friendly, tidy, thorough and most importantly great with our dog!!!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and caregiver for 40 years, since I was just 6 years old. Over the years, I’ve owned more than 10 dogs and have cared for many, many more. I’ve had experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also have extensive experience caring for dogs with special needs and medical conditions, including administering medications and following specific care routines. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. Most importantly, I truly believe dogs are family. I provide the same patience, love, attention, and care that I would want someone to provide for my own pets. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I currently work from home, which means I have the flexibility to build my schedule around your fur baby’s routine and needs. I’m available throughout the day for drop-ins, potty breaks, walks, meals, medication, playtime, or simply some extra love and companionship. Your pet won’t be left waiting all day for someone to come home—I can work their care into my day and give them the attention they deserve! I treat every pet as an individual and make their comfort, safety, and routine my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible, including meals, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide frequent drop-ins and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes and treat them with the same care and consideration I would my own. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Peyton was a huge lifesaver when our original boarding plans fell through due to kennel cough - she was super friendly and responsive. She was even willing to handle our three month old puppy and kept him from destroying the house while we were gone! Our pups were in great hands and totally happy and relaxed when we got home, and Peyton was great at keeping in touch, taking them for multiple walks a day, and sending updates and pictures while we were gone. She even watered plants and took care of trash and letting in the cleaners while we were gone. We would definitely book Peyton again for watching our house and pets for future trips!”

Zhanna is absolutely Amazing with our German shepherd. She knows how to not only take good care of her but took such good care of our home. She pays attention to detail and send us photos and updates while we were gone making us know she was taking care of! I came home to a relaxed dog which makes every vacation that much more enjoyable. Thank you Zhanna! We can’t wait to see you next time!
I highly recommend Braylee as a dog and house sitter. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism, responsibility, and care throughout her stay. She provided regular photo updates, maintained the home meticulously (including washing her linens and running the dishwasher), as well as watering plants and collecting mail. Most importantly, my dogs were calm, comfortable, and clearly well‑cared‑for. When they weren’t happy in their beds at night she let them sleep with her, their favorite thing to do! I returned to two very content pups which never happens after a trip to the kennel. Braylee is trustworthy, attentive, and goes well beyond expectations. I will gladly book her again.
Suyen is wonderful. Our two dogs really liked her from our initial meet and greet through her stay with them. She has a very calming demeanor which is good as we have a two year old female GSD who is pretty high energy. Suyen played ball with her several times as well as lots of cuddle time with our other dog as that is his preferred activity. Suyen also took really good care of our home while we were away and it was a delight to come home to two happy dogs and a the house looking even better than we had left. We would be delighted to have her stay with dogs/ home again.
Megan did an awesome job looking after my two sweet kitties! She provided timely updates with pictures and I could tell that she was genuinely happy to be spending time with them! When I returned, the house was super neat and tidy just as I left it. I would gladly have her watch my kitties again!
Great! Nina was exceptional at stepping in for a last minute save. She made me feel comfortable right away staying with my dogs, and took great care of them. I had daily updates, she asked questions to check on things, and provided pictures. My dogs were super happy when we came back. One dog seemed to maybe miss her and sat by the door? She had a friend stay with her who was also very nice. I would use her help again in a heartbeat.
Sofia is absolutely fantastic. This was the first time I used someone on Rover and she made me feel so comfortable and at ease while I was on vacation. Her love for animals shined through the moment she met my foster cats and I could feel her love for them in every message and photo. I got lots of photos of her cuddling with them, giving them attention and being near them. They opened up to her immediately and as a pet (foster) parent, there’s no better feeling. I will absolutely message Sofia again in the future if I ever need a pet sitter, and I will be recommending her to anyone who says they want an attentive pet sitter!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Clarks Gap
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Clarks Gap on Rover is $58.28 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,305 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clarks Gap. 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 Clarks Gap 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 Clarks Gap 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 Clarks Gap 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
