“Pond ... WOW! There are many things worth praising about this incredible person and pet care giver. My fur baby, Gracie, is the luckiest dog ever! Gracie has Mom (me) and Gracie has Pond. Pond truly has the heart of an animal care giver, the sharp mind of a vet, and the empath abilities to sense and know what Gracie needed and when. Gracie's tail would wag and she would snuggle right up to Pond. I saw it! Gracie wasn't distracted by Mom; she wanted Pond's attention! Gracie has been aging over the time Pond has been caring for her, and Pond just goes with the flow of that. Pond will miss Gracies' sweet sixteen party because they're moving out of state. SO - if you are lucky enough to have Pond in your neighborhood in Austin, TXwe 2 ladies here in College Park MD will be jealous! I trust Pond with my precious baby girl. Pond stayed in my home or did visits, and even had the occasion to bring Gracie to their place. Hire Pond. They are someone you can truly trust with your most valued four legged family members! I truly wish Pond would be around to continue to love on Gracie until Gracie's final days (almost 16 is getting up there!) because of the way Pond cares for her - both in spurts of her energy and in her needing help sometimes up the steps or just her slowing down on walks. Sensitive. Responsible. Caring. Gentle. Fun. Intelligent and amazing Pond. Hire them!”
“Raven treated our (3) pets like her own, they were very happy & well cared for. We had a literal book of instructions and she seemed to have it all figured out & everything was in great order when we got back. We will definitely call her next time we travel!”
“Arturo was great with our dogs! They both get medicine and one of them had a strict schedule to stick to. Arturo was extremely accommodating and made sure to give them the meds when needed. He’s communicative and this was a great experience!! Would absolutely recommend Arturo!!”
“Mary is awesome! She's very communicative and gives our dogs the extra attention they need while we're away. She's very reliable and really came through when my travel plans home were cancelled unexpectedly and she was able to extend her stay for an extra day.”
“Trevor was such a great sitter for our labradoodle, Odin. From the start his communication was consistent, clear and he included plenty of updates and pictures. We have our dog on a pretty consistent schedule and Trevor was able to accommodate to everything. We appreciate Trevor and know Odin loved having him with him! Can’t recommend Trevor enough.”
About: I just lost my cat and I would love to have some company without the commitment! I've pet sat professionally for years back in New Jersey with Kate's Canine Care. I have an incredibly flexible schedule and work my own hours. I'm available for boarding or house sitting. Short weekends away or long vacations I'm your girl! My apartment complex has a dog park right outside my building. I love when pets sleep with me (if that's okay with their owners) I'm very calm and organized. I will follow specific directions with ease
“Drew was communicative and polite and never failed to update us with videos and photos! We felt completely at ease with him looking after our Zen and house, and we could tell Zen liked him a whole lot. 10/10, would recommend!”
“Dorian was terrific. From the moment we met him we felt confident that our kitty and our home would be well taken care of. He did not disappoint. We would gladly have him stay anytime we are away.”
“Erica did a great job watching our yellow lab Maddie during our two week vacation. She gave Maddie lots of cuddles and activity, gave us frequent photo updates, was easy to communicate with, and was very flexible when we decided to extend our vacation last minute. She also took great care of our house. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Gabriella was wondering with my dogs and taking incredible care of my home during her stay. She sent plenty of photos and updates, and I could tell that the dogs were at peace with her love and comfort. She is the best!”
About: I’ve always had pets since my first dog that we got when I was 1 then later when I was 6 my first cat and since then I’ve had 2 more dogs and 2 more cats that I’ve looked after for years. I’ve also dog sat for my wonderful neighbors who have 2 medium sized dogs for 2 years now. I usually will go and visit your pets and stay for 1-2 hours just to make sure everything is good then go back home and come back when the next check in is I make sure to meet you and your furry baby ahead of time and get a feel for your pet and home as I always prioritize your pets health and comfort over anything
“Nancy was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of puppy while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, and it was clear that Onyx was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated all the love and attention she gave him. I would absolutely book with Nancy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thank you so much, Nancy!”
“Hannah and her husband were amazing!! They kept me super informed about everything that was going on while I was away. I could tell that Raya was well taken care for and felt so comfortable that she was in their hands. They also kept our house tidy and were great guests. Thanks guys!”
“Kaile was such a great dogsitter. She took great care of our girl and was communicative and responsible. We would definitely hire Kaile again!”
“Jessica was communicative and super accommodating when I shortened my trip in the middle of it and came home earlier. Plus her dog Sebastian is awesome and I loved that my more playful pup had a friend!”
“Juan has housesat for our dog a couple of times now, and does a wonderful job. Our dog is excitable and gets anxious, but he’s always happy and relaxed with Juan. Juan always sends updates and photos and leaves our house in great shape. We would highly recommend him.”
About: I’m Jacob, a full time nurse, looking for a side hustle to help pay off my student loans :) If you trust me with your pet(s) I will make them my top priority. I will shower them with attention, and take lots of pictures to update you with about our day. I work 3 days a week. I have plenty of free time during the week for your pet’s needs. It would be such a fulfilling past time for me to care for your animals. I live alone in a quiet apartment with no other animals. There’s a good amount of space. Quick and easy walk to the trail around lady bird lake.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Daffan
I got very lucky when I decided to give "Rover.com" a try to find an in-home sitter for my Sheepadoodle Cookie Marie. I was more than a little hesitant because I had never before used Rover. I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of use and the quality of service. Nancy N was amazing. From the first time my little dog met her she was in love. I immediately felt like Cookie Marie was in the best hands possible in my absence. During the time I was gone Nancy sent pictures and kept me updated on Cookie's progress. She is a professional woman, trustworthy, kind and above all, loves animals, a fact that was apparent from the time she walked into my home. I left for my girl trip with no worries leaving Nancy in charge. She did a wonderful job. I would definitely book her again. Jill Hoffmann
Lauren was great! Super communicative, my dog always looked happy in photos, she asked questions or shared updates that showed she was really thinking about his wellbeing. As a bonus - amazing photographer! I am definitely framing some of the amazing shots she sent!
Sophia kept Loki company while I was gone! I had asked for pics/ an update once a day and only got them a couple times while I was gone, but she was very responsive when I would text her, even brought a package in from my mail room, and overall Loki seems in to be happy! She also saved me in a pinch and was able to meet me so last minute after my last sitter cancelled two days before my trip!
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!

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 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 4,556 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
