Incredible, reliable, and so loving toward our kitties! Valentina stayed overnight for almost 2 weeks; she communicated regularly, tended to their idiosyncrasies, and made us feel so at ease while we were away. Will be re-booking with Valentina as soon as the next opportunity arises!

She was very punctual for the sit and sent pictures of how both of my pets were doing anytime I asked for them. When I got home both of my pets were very relaxed. My dog has a lot of eye care needs and had developed an eye ulcer before the appointed sit, Erica was fantastic through this. My dog needed meds 3 times a day and when I got back his eye was visibly in a better place than when I left. It was really easy to work with Erica and I would definitely hire her again.

Michelle is fantastic. First and foremost, she is a genuinely good person who has an affinity for animals. Coordinating with Michelle was easy and she was extremely flexible. It was my first time leaving one of my boys who is extremely attached to me. That was not without its hiccups, but Michelle kept me posted and took great care of my boys.

Arturo was fantastic to work with! During our time away he would constantly keep us updated when he would be heading out as well as provide photos of Dottie throughout the day. From our initial meet and greet, we could tell that he and Dottie would get along and from what we heard, she was snuggled up with him all weekend! My partner and I would give him more stars if possible.

Jeremy is absolutely wonderful, not just as a house- and dog-sitter, he’s just an all-around kind, cool, laid-back guy. He has a wonderful, calm, energy that our animals gravitated to immediately, even our one skittish rescue pup that was abused before we got her and usually doesn’t like men. He took excellent care of our dogs and house, sent us pictures and updates every day, and we could tell that they were happy with him, as they slept on the bed he stayed in with him every night. We are so glad to have found him and would like to book him again in the future. ♥️

About: I’ve taken care of and cherished animals since childhood. There is nothing I love more than being a responsible pet owner and caretaker, making my own or other’s animals feel loved and special is what I do! I have taken care of a plethora of dog breeds, senior pups, and many cats as well. I will love yours like my own! I currently have my own pet that I care for daily, of course, but I am a graduate student and have a fairly open schedule, especially on weeknights and weekends. My cat lives the high life, as many of my friends and family would describe it. I care so deeply about animals of all varieties feeling safe, nurtured, and respected. I am also great with direction, so your standard of care for your pet will always be met and exceeded.

Kierra stayed at our house and took care of our dog Cooper over the holidays and did a fantastic job!! I highly highly recommend her. Cooper is a sweet but sometimes funny rescue dog and she was unphased by his quirks. Usually he’s not super keen on people staying over without us around, but he quickly acclimated to her and seems to have been so happy! Kierra was communicative, sent lots of photos, and took great care of our plants too. And we came home to an absolutely spotless house. She was the best!

FAQs for House Sitting - Daffan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Daffan on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,523 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 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 Daffan. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
