Andrew was very compassionate and communicative throughout the entire process. He initiated contact to ensure he has all the info needed to give Pumpkin a great experience. He sent me videos and pictures of Pumpkin during each visit, which gave me much needed peace of mind while I was traveling. This was a great first time experience for me, and I would definitely ask Andrew for help again the next time I go on vacation!

Geoff was great! He stayed at our house over a long weekend with our border collie, Wednesday, and we felt so comfortable and confident knowing she was in good care. We got regular updates with photos, and Wednesday got multiple walks and engagement throughout her time with him. He was super flexible and respectful. We'll definitely book with him again!

Sarah was fantastic! She was so sweet with our three girls at the meet & greet, and they were in great spirits when we came home. Our American Bulldog, Boxer mix, and elderly kitty cat all loved her! She kept us updated while we were away and left our house clean and secure. So thankful for her comprehensive care over the holiday.

“Great Rover experience! Sarah took wonderful care of our senior Boston Terrier, Baxter and treated him like family. She sent pictures and videos throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear he enjoyed all the playtime, snuggles, and attention he received. Sarah also left our home clean and well cared for. We felt completely at ease while we were away and came home to a happy pup. Highly recommend, and we will definitely use her again!” 🐾❤️

Our dog is fearful of meeting new people and Brandi's calm energy was great for him (and my anxiety about trying a new sitter lol!). She dealt with feeding him turkey through his muzzle and all the other details of a first meeting we wanted to cover. 10 stars on communication and reliability. She did wonderfully with Georgie on our 'trial run' before our longer trip and I'm so happy to have found someone we can trust our anxious fur baby with while we're away.

My older dog had some tummy issues while I was away this last time and Joely managed it all like a pro and kept me informed every day. Highly recommend!!

Jena is a wonderful pet sitter! I insisted she make herself at home while she house/pet-sat my doggo and kitty (have as many snacks as you like!), and she treated both my pets and home with great care. She sent photos and updates on the girls throughout my trip and asked questions as needed. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Jena again for future trips.

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

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!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 4,570 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.
