“Great experience with Rene! He watched Karma in my home while I was away in Reno, followed all directions, communicated great, and took excellent care of him — all at a very reasonable price. Reliable, attentive, and trustworthy — highly recommend!”
“Keishla took great care of my large dog and cats while I was away. She even won over the affection of my more skiddish kitten! From the meet and greet, through the end of the sit, Keishla was respectful, responsive, and professional. She spent plenty of time playing with the animals, kept the house clean, and sent several updates and pictures throughout the sit. I would happily book her again!”

“Rosemarie came to visit us and meet Lulu before the dog sitting date, which was very nice as they got acquainted with each other. On Thanksgiving Day Rosemarie arrived early and begin bonding with Lulu right away. We weee gone for a long time. Rosemarie fed and walked with Lulu. She sent us photos and even spent time cuddling with Lulu. We would definitely recommend Rosemarie and have no reservations about using her in the future as well as recommending to others. Thank you, Rosemarie!”
“Claudia was great! Sent photos throughout the day and responded quickly when I checked in. Also made my dogs their picky/spoiled lunch and sent photos afterward. Also sent me updates as to how much they ate. I’ll use Claudia again whenever needed - you should too. They’re in good hands.”
“Olivia did a great job watching our dog, she sent pictures and updates daily. Highly recommend Olivia - will be contacting again for future pet sitting needs.”
“Christina did such a great job taking care of our dog, cat, and home. She watered our plants and took really good care of our home. We are definitely going to rebook her.”
About: I’ve been a volunteer at Front Street Animal Shelter for over a year, as well as pet sitting for friends and families over the past 5 years. My family and I have had several dogs over the past years ranging from large to medium in size, but I’m no stranger to small dogs either. I have also cared for dogs who required special needs care and attention for various reasons from medical illnesses to physical limitations and age. I’m currently a full time college student which means I can only offer services in the evening during weekdays. But, Friday through Sunday I’m completely available all day to provide care for animals as needed at times which are convenient for owners. When caring for animals I prioritize routine to avoid any unnecessary stress or anxiety. I start with bathroom breaks and handling food and water before moving on to play and entertainment. If any basic hygiene such as brushing is required then I will do that after the pet is relaxed and comfortable from playing. Any other specialized care is worked into this schedule as needed.
“Catherine was wonderful! She was thoughtful, responsive, and kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. My pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed their time with her. I also came home to a house that was in great shape. I would absolutely book with Catherine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).
“I’ve used rover many times before, Maria not only left me reassured on our pet meet up before the booking but also during booking. She listened to all of my elder dogs needs, my baby is 14 years of age and leaving her for a week was definitely nerve wracking since here eyes are already grey. She would send me updates on my pets, my dog doesn’t get along with many people or pets but she allowed Maria to get near her and even napped together. She truly is Angel and HIGHLY recommend!”
About: After retiring from 30+ years of working for government and non-profit organizations, I volunteered at Homeward Bound (golden retriever rescue) and started petsitting for many neighbors and friends. I now enjoy petsitting for other people’s pets also while I am not hiking swimming, traveling or making things in my garage workshop. I am married without kids and do not smoke or drink alcohol. I have a flexible schedule to visit daily or stay at your home. I enjoy cats and dogs and am particularly proud that so many of them like me back! While I cannot have your pet at my home, I have a flexible schedule to either visit or stay at your home to care for your pet.
“Amy was amazing with my little pup! So patient and understanding!! Built a genuine connection with Murphy from the moment they met. She was in constant communication, sent tons of amazing photos! Would 100% recommend”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique needs—whether that’s energetic puppy play, gentle senior support, or maintaining routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, including basic training reinforcement and house-training support, as well as senior pets who may need extra patience, medication reminders, or mobility assistance. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care and peace of mind for both pets and their owners. I currently work part-time as a restaurant hostess, primarily in the evenings. My schedule varies week to week, which gives me a lot of flexibility. With advance notice, I can easily adjust my availability and even request time off when needed to accommodate your pet’s care schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible with so much love. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, while also keeping their home clean and secure. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own familiar environment while their owners are away.
“Gabriela was great with Milo, she came through for us last minute for an evening sitting. Walked milo and took him in backyard to hang out which he loves. Great communication and updates.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Clarksburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,732 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clarksburg. 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 Clarksburg 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 Clarksburg 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 Clarksburg 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.

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.
