“Jonathan was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs and cat! He was extremely reliable, responsible, and great with communication. His daily updates and pictures gave us complete peace of mind knowing our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He truly went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend Jonathan and will definitely use him again! ❤️”
“Jacquelin was very easy going we had her watch our dog and her cousin the night of our wedding. I know our house wasn’t the most organized but she had no problem, took them on walks and made sure they had a fun time. Thank you!”
“Abbey is a gem! We were lucky to be able to snag her for a weekend house sitting situation at the very last minute. Abbey is professional, kind and kept us posted about our pup the entire time with lots of pic and text updates. Really happy with her and would happily make her a regular sitter/walker for our dog.”
“I was so pleasantly surprised when I booked Claire sort of last minute. It’s my first time using anyone but friends to watch my precious pup Coco. We were greeted by Claire and her amazing family of 3 dogs, 1 cat and wonderful parents. The pets are all adorable and well behaved. Beautiful home and fenced in yard. Claire communicated through the time away and sent lots of reassurance, pics and videos. She was so flexible with drop off and pickup time too. I highly recommend and won’t think twice about using in the future!!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs for the past ten years, up to this date. Currently work at a boarding resort, and pet sit on the side. I can confidently administer any medications, including insulin. Very skilled in dog behavior. Willing to work with skittish/fearful/“difficult” dogs. Willing to bike alongside pups who need to run if interested. I currently work for a boarding and daycare facility; our lunch breaks are usually around 12-3. Looking to help walk pups in between then and again after 6:30pm if needed. I am great at following instructions, and safety is my biggest priority. I take my time gaining a dogs trust, and strive for maximum comfort in an already stressful situation.
“Chantal did a wonderful job watching Luna while I was away! She was very responsive, provided me plenty of updates, and left my apartment in great condition. I would definitely recommend her!!”
“Thu was amazing. I had another sitter booked who canceled on me on Thanksgiving morning! Thu saved the day! She spent lots of time loving my babies and sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve provided loving care for both dogs and cats while house sitting in their homes, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment. I treat every pet like family—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra cuddles, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive, personalized care for your pet—whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute requests. I’m committed to keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home, always following your instructions and routines closely. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their routines and surroundings to keep them relaxed and happy. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, give them lots of affection and attention, and ensure their space stays clean and safe. I also provide regular updates to pet parents, so they feel confident and connected while away.
About: My love for animals goes beyond being a pet owner. Through my volunteer experience at animal shelters, I’ve gained hands-on experience socializing animals, handling dogs with different temperaments and needs, and administering medication when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and that patience, consistency, and compassion are essential to helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or requires extra care and attention, I strive to provide a calm, nurturing environment tailored to their needs. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and responsible, and I understand the importance of following your pet’s routines and care instructions. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is receiving the same love, respect, and attention they deserve while you’re away. Your pet isn’t just a pet—they’re family, and I’ll treat them like one! At the moment, my availability is very flexible. I can provide service at any day and time. I’m local and can travel for clients. In addition, I’m very responsive. I like to make all animals feel at home by providing a relaxed environment. I have a fenced in yard. All animals should be loved and approached with patience.
“Leah was an incredible sitter for our Lab Boxer mix, Hitch. She followed our instructions, ensuring he was well-fed and walked regularly. What truly impressed us was Leah's proactive care. Upon noticing a rash on Hitch, she quickly informed us and recommended a vet visit. It was a great call—Hitch had infected bug bites needing immediate treatment. We are grateful for Leah's attentive and loving care. She goes above and beyond, proving herself to be an exceptionally trustworthy and dedicated sitter. We wholeheartedly recommend Leah.”
“Madeline was fantastic! Madeline sent thorough updates every day along with photos of our dog - we really loved these status reports while on vacation. She also went above and beyond so we came home to a clean home after her stay.”
“Maria and Alejandra stepped in the middle of a dog sitting emergency while we were away. As soon as they arrived our dogs immediately calmed. They were wonderful and they knew exactly how to handle our young Mali/dutch mix and Great Pyrenees mix. We received daily updates and pictures seeing how happy our dogs were and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. We had happy calm dogs when we came home. We cannot thank them enough for all they did. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have decades of experience around cats and dogs - in the home and with extended family pets, and then started pet care for others as a teen. Through my teens and 20s I consistently dog sat, did scheduled walks out of others’ homes, or cat play/feed visits. I’ve loved each and every pet: from Great Dane siblings to cats that rule the house and play it cool. I grew up with cats and have long term cared for a Vizsla dog beloved to me, as my own. I have experience with animals that do not get along with other animals, or take a while to get used to humans (I’ve always had an affinity for these guys and allowed them the space and time to grow comfortable with me). I live in Portland, OR but am from the Hudson Valley and back in the area to be closer to my father who is on hospice with a terminal illness. I am reactivating my Rover profile because I am working from my laptop some hours a week here and there (I choose the hours) and spending some time with my father each week. All of my days are flexible and I’d be open to arrangements based on need. An animal to hang with and care for would be really lovely at this time. My days are all flexible. I make my own hours at work and am only working 8-16 hours a week due to being on intermittent FMLA. Several days a week I would be out of the house for portions during the day to spend time with my father in Fishkill, NY. Based on directive and to minimally disrupt their routines and comforts. I adapt easily and I find I have a good energy for animals to adapt to being around me—not forcing anything and just letting them lead the way in terms of their comfort level.
About: Hi, I’m Erica! I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always loved animals of all kinds, and my experience goes far beyond cats and dogs. I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals, including chickens, ducks, goats, fish, and other farm, household, or small animals. Growing up around animals taught me that every species—and every individual animal—has different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for feeding, fresh water, cleaning, medications, enclosures, and daily routines, and I understand how important consistency is when you're away. I’ve also had cats and dogs of my own and have years of experience pet sitting, so I’m comfortable with both everyday pet care and animals that need a little extra attention or specialized care. I’m a nonsmoker, and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and caring for animals. Whether you have chickens that need their morning routine, goats that need care and companionship, ducks, fish, or a combination of animals, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and respect—and follow your instructions carefully. I currently have the privilege of working remotely part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to work around your pet’s routine rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I can adjust my schedule around feeding times, walks, medications, playtime, and whatever routine helps your pet feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I make sure they always have fresh water, the right food, clean surroundings, and anything else they need. I’m happy to give them space and simply stay nearby if that’s what they prefer, or provide plenty of playtime, attention, cuddles, and companionship if they’re more social. I also follow your instructions carefully and make sure your home and your pet’s space are left clean, safe, and comfortable.
“Nicole provided exceptional care for our dog during our week out of town. She was our first Rover hire, and we have no complaints, just appreciation! Our dog Lucy has a lot of anxiety about new experiences and people, but she loved Nicole! We definitely will book Nicole again in the future.”
About: Hi everyone my name is Danielle. I have over 10 years experience in dog care. I am a teacher full time.I have experience with all aged dogs, from puppies who need training to seniors who are in need of specialized care and medications. I love animals! I grew up with all types of animals, but mostly dogs. I bring to RoverGo vast experience as a pet sitter. I’ve worked with nearly every breed of dog, from tiny 2-pound toy breeds to large 180-pound furry giants. I also work at an animal hospital so I’m very familiar with all the dogs’ different personalities and I’m also comfortable administering medication, should your pet need it. I have been walking and boarding pets for the last 5 years and I’m happy to provide references! I have plenty of time for your pup and you can be assured that we’ll get in plenty of walks every day My family and I love spending time outdoors and we love having our furry friends accompany us! Bring your high energy pups because we love taking long walks or your senior loungers who will have company most of the day! I am a full time teacher so your pup will only be left alone for a short amount of time during the school year! During the summer and school breaks I am home ! I am able to accommodate as many walks and feedings I live in a quiet complex with plenty of furry neighbors! We can take walks so we can socialize or go our own way if your pup isn’t too fond of others. I do whatever you do at home for your pup when it comes to bed time for example if they sleep in a crate, on their beds or free roam!

Valerie took care of my pup Lola for a week and was phenomenal! She sent photos and communicated daily, updating me on their activities. It was my first time leaving Lola and Valerie made me feel so much more relaxed. I could see how much Lola was enjoying her time with Valerie. I feel so lucky and grateful to have met Valerie. She’s so responsible, kind and sweet and Lola adores her. I highly recommend Valerie and am looking forward to using her services again.
Izzy exceeded all of our expectations as a dog sitter! She was incredibly attentive and loving toward Brody, and she kept us updated and communicated with us throughout our entire trip, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. By the time our trip was over, Brody had completely decided that Izzy was part of the family. 😂 Even after we got home, he would wait for her in the spare bedroom, hoping she’d come back for more cuddles and love. It was so sweet to see how comfortable and happy he was with her! We would absolutely recommend Izzy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

The average cost of House Sitting in Cornwall is $59 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $111 per night.

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 Cornwall 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 Cornwall 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 Cornwall 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cornwall. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
