“If I could give more stars I would! Raven is an absolute dream to have watch your furr- babies! She is very attentive and communicative. She sent me lots of updates and I received lots of photos and videos. She also was very respectful of my home. It was a GREAT experience and I am so thrilled she worked out! Not to mention that my dogs loved her!! Thank you, Raven! We will def be seeing you again!”
“We have used Rover a few times over the years, with good results, some better than others. However, Andrew is hands down the best experience we've had! He stayed in our home for a week with our cat and two pups, taking great care of them all, even staying longer than anticipated due to flight delays, to make sure they were taken care of. He communicated each morning with photos so we had peace of mind about what was going on at home and could enjoy our time away. He even took care of our pool, which was not part of the deal, and laundered his sheets and towels, a true gem of a houseguest! The service is not inexpensive, but worth the expense knowing our home and pets were well cared for while we were away, especially with someone as personable and responsible as Andy. I cannot recommend him highly enough and will definitely request his services again!”
“Josh did a great job taking care of our dogs while we were away for a few days. He was reliable and kept us updated throughout our trip. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were being well taken care of while we were gone. We also came home to a clean house which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend Josh and use him again!”
“Taylor took care of our two senior dogs while we were away this past week. I felt very secure with her watching them and they seemed very happy to have her there. We would love to have her watch them again.”
“Jacob was excellent with our puppy Remi. My husband and I haven’t had a night out in 6 months bc he cries whenever he is left alone and we just don’t have the heart. So thankful it all went over wonderfully with Jacob bc now we will have more nights out knowing Remi is happy and being treated so well and played with!”
“Romy was a wonderful dog sitter. While we were out of town, she spent so much time with Billy and Ben and made sure they weren’t alone while we were gone. She was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, and she regularly sent photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind. I felt very confident that they were being well cared for the entire time. I would recommend Romy to anyone looking for a caring, and genuinely attentive sitter.”
“Davida was wonderful with Daizy and Lenni! She was attentive, communicative, and kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to two very calm, happy, and content pups, and it was obvious they had been well loved and cared for while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found someone we feel comfortable trusting with our babies and our home. We would absolutely book with Davida again!”
About: I’ve been raising and caring for dogs since I was 10, especially pit bulls. I have hands-on experience helping with dog births and caring for puppies. I have three dogs of my own: a micro French Bulldog, a Chihuahua, and a Pit Bull. I’ve also worked at Taurus Academy, which gave me additional experience around dogs. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs patience, love, and proper care. I’m comfortable around different breeds and want every pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I have flexibility in my schedule and can make time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m happy to discuss feeding times, walks, playtime, and other care routines to fit your pet’s needs. I’ll do my best to keep your pet comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away. I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of supervision, patience, and following each pet’s routine. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s space clean, and make sure they receive plenty of attention. I’m also happy to discuss any special needs or safety concerns before providing care.
“Melondy was great! We booked this trip over a month ago and it unfortunately landed during the weekend of the winter storm and she was still very understanding. Our two gremlins were super happy when we returned and had a great time.”
“Rachel was awesome! She was happy to swing by for a last-minute meet and greet before I left on my trip, and my dogs had an excellent time with her and Mardi. Communication was prompt and friendly too. Will definitely have her back here!”
“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”
About: I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know each dog and follow their owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to make every walk, visit, or stay a positive and stress-free experience. I’m attentive to details such as feeding routines, exercise, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions. I also believe communication is very important. I’m happy to keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident knowing their dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I offer walks and visits based on my availability. I’m responsible about scheduling and communication, and I will always make sure I understand your pet’s routine and needs before providing care. I’m also happy to discuss specific schedules in advance so we can find what works best for both you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and take the time to understand their pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs before providing care. During walks, I stay attentive to my surroundings and keep pets secure at all times. During drop-in visits or house sitting, I treat your home with respect and make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, food, bathroom breaks, and companionship they need. I believe trust is earned through reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I’ll keep you updated during the visit or walk and am happy to send photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“I wish I could invent a sixth star for Chelsea! From the moment we met her, I immediately felt like I could trust her, and that made such a difference in being able to relax while we were away knowing Cash was in great hands. Her communication was fantastic, she sent great updates throughout the stay, and it was obvious from the pictures and videos that Cash really liked her and was completely comfortable with her. She took wonderful care of both him and our home. We’ve had several good experiences with Rover, but Chelsea was easily the best sitter we’ve had. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust her with Cash again (and hope to again soon!). Highly recommend!”
“Jill is always incredible to work with. Cannot recommend her enough. Our power went out during Jill’s visit — she owned the situation and made sure our dog was taken care of while we were away. Thank you so much Jill!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for almost a decade in several countries across Europe and professionally in Austin. I like big mutts and I can not lie! After 5pm on Tuesday through Thursday and anytime rest of the week would work for me. No problems house sitting or your pup staying over. I have hands-on experience working at a dog daycare, as well as caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities through pet sitting and boarding. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling energetic or nervous dogs. I focus on making every dog feel safe and comfortable, rather than rushing through the process. Plus, I genuinely love spending time with dogs, so this never feels like just a job to me!

We’ve had Michael watch our pets a few times now, and once again we came home to happy, well cared for animals. Michael kept in touch throughout the stay with photos and updates, asked thoughtful questions, and followed all of our instructions without a problem. Our gray cat, Max, is very skittish with new people, so it meant a lot that he felt comfortable enough to come out and spend time with Michael this visit. Michael even offered to take care of extra things like scooping the backyard and made sure everything was set before heading out. We completely trust Michael with our pets and will definitely book again!
Raven took wonderful care of our two small pups over the weekend in our home! She followed their routine closely, spent plenty of time with them and took them on daily walks. Her consistent updates and photos gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was also respectful of our home, and it was nice returning to a clean space. We’re grateful for her care and thoughtfulness and would happily book with her again :)
Nancy was amazing with my dogs. My poodle mix Eddie can be a handful and even he warmed up to her in no time. She shared updates and pictures throughout the week and it was apparent that they were very happy. The house was just as I left it too. Couldn’t be happier! Thank you, Nancy
Lana did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Khushi! I could tell Khushi was very happy and comfortable with her and truly enjoyed their time together. Lana made sure she was fed on time, gave her plenty of attention, and took great care of all her needs. She was also incredibly thoughtful and considerate when we unexpectedly had an AC leak in our home after we left, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Khushi and our home were in such caring and responsible hands. I would absolutely recommend Lana to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter. I would love to have her take care of Khushi again in the future. She’s amazing! ❤️🐱
Amanda is so sweet and was an amazing sitter for my cat, Cleo. She gave wonderful care to my very spoiled girl, followed every instruction, sent the best updates and kept my place clean. Cleo looked so comfortable and happy with her in every photo I received. I’m so thankful! Will be booking again. ❤️
Valentina was amazing! She took such great care of our dogs while we were away. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious they were happy, comfortable, and well loved. She was kind, communicative, and reliable throughout our trip. We came home to very happy dogs, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care she provided. We would absolutely book with Valentina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
We recently had Jacob stay with our dog and it was a 10/10 experience from start to finish. His communication was top-notch and he updated us throughout with photos of her and general updates. Jacob went the extra mile in ways that really showed how much he cares about the dogs in his care!! We are so grateful to have found him and will 100% be returning customers!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Daffan is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $100 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,529 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Daffan. 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 Daffan 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 Daffan 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 Daffan 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
