“Jayne house-sat for me and watched my two dogs and cat, who are all fairly high maintenance. She did an excellent job. I got plenty of pictures and videos, and the animals were happy. They got lots of exercise and play time. I’ll definitely have Jayne help me again in the future.”
“Tiana was amazing! She provided us with a lot of updates and had great communication around how it was going. She followed our instructions as requested. She knew we were getting home super late and was kind enough to change our sheets (on top of leaving our home spotless). The quality of care and little touches like that mean so much. I highly recommend Tiana!”
“Amir was a fantastic house sitter. He cared for our reactive dog, two cats, and home for over a week, providing them with plenty of companionship and attention. He stayed extended hours during the day, watered our plants, took out the trash, and left thoughtful touches like washing the sheets and cleaning up pet hair before we returned. We came home to a clean, calm house and happy pets—highly recommend!”
“Anneliese did a wonderful job with my 3 French bulldogs. She stayed the entire time with them and gave us constant updates and photos. The frenchies had many cuddle sessions and lots of outside/playtime. She was very respectful and left our home clean and well kept. I’d recommend her to anyone who feels nervous to leave their fur babies as she will give them all the love and time they need. She’s a very kind, thoughtful and loving pet sitter.”
“Katherine was outstanding caring for our big guy for 4 days while we were out of town. She was easy and clear to communicate with, quick to respond to texts, and our pup did really well with her. She even vacuumed our fur-filled carpet! Highly recommend Katherine for housesitting.”
“This is my first time ever using rover and I was looking for a last minute pet sitter for my anxious dog. Cedric was great, easy to work with, and left my apartment without a trace! Cedric lives up to all their reviews and I would highly recommend for all your pet needs!”
“Jordan took such good care of our babies!!! The house looked fabulous and our kiddos were all happy and healthy. Daily communication and medication dispensing was done without issue. We already have him rebooked for the end of the month.”
“This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving the pets at home and Frank did a great job! We returned to happy pets and a home exactly as we left it. Frank was professional and responsive and even went the extra mile to find a replacement stuffed animal for my daughter for one that our puppy destroyed. A great experience overall!”
“Fiona was everything we could have asked for in a dog sitter! She cared for our pups and sent lots of pictures and updates. I felt so secure with her watching them and knew they were in the best hands!”
“Absolutely the best. Tayler was super responsive and made our first experience with Rover incredible. She provided us with some many pictures and updates and our girls loved her. Will 100% be using her services again!”
“This is my first time using Rover and we were looking for an overnight sitter for mainly my little Genee girl who has never not had family around her. Anika filled that gap for us and did an amazing job. She put up with all my messages and provided pictures of Genee on walks and playing. She even included pics of the cat lounging around as usual. I was worried about leaving Genee for the first time but Anika made it much easier for me! I would highly recommend her and I will be calling upon her again when we need a sitter!”
“Kathy has taken care of our dogs multiple times and she always goes above and beyond. We feel so comforted knowing they are so loved when we’re not there. Kathy is the best!”
“Mackenzie did a terrific job of taking care of my elderly cat Mia. She sent frequent updates and lots of good photos and Mia really took to her which doesn’t always happen. Great sitter, I would definitely recommend and would hire Mackenzie again!”
“Mandy was great with my 2 boys! I could tell when I returned they were relaxed and well taken care of. She sent lots of cute updates throughout the week, and left the house clean :) We felt at ease knowing she was taking good care of them. Thanks Mandy!”
“Karen was amazing. We cannot say enough good things about her, and we feel so lucky to have found her. She watched our two very different dogs while we were away for my father's memorial — our French Bulldog with separation anxiety and our parents' Saint Bernard, who is very sensitive. Karen handled both of them with so much patience, love, and care, and sent us regular updates that gave us complete peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time. Knowing our dogs were in such good hands allowed us to be fully present when we needed to be most. We came home to two happy, relaxed, well-loved pups — and that says it all. Karen is professional, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with animals and a great person. We will absolutely be using her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pets like family. 🐾”
“Adeline did a great job. Exactly what we asked for. She checked in with us during her stay. Respoinsive when we contacted her. Foxy and Gray Guy were fine when we got home.”
“Erin helped us out in a pinch that required some extra communication and a handoff. She was professional, communicative and helpful, and we were confident that the pets were well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!”
“Brittani is amazing — she will love your pups until you come back to love on them! She is a great communicator, caring and kind and she is easy-going. Our two dogs are not easy to take care of and Brittani did so with ease and so much patience. I’m grateful to have met her and will most definitely reach out in the future!”

Janelle took amazing care of my cat! Lots of picture and video updates and went above and beyond with taking care of her and my place where she stayed. She’s very attentive and her love for animals is very apparent. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!
This was our second time booking Rachelle to watch our two pups and so happy we did. Rachelle does an amazing job taking care of our dogs, love getting the daily updates including pics and videos especially when we’re away for an extended time. We truly could tell our dogs were so happy to have her there and she goes above and beyond keeping our home in order as well.
We found Jordan on Rover after our former dog/house sitter retired, and we couldn't be happier that we found her! Jordan not only provided in home sitting, she reinforced training with our spunky 3 year old Golden, took pur pups on outside enrichment walks around the yard, and provided lots of pictures throughout our time away so we didn't miss any of our dog's cuteness. Jordan is by far the best sitter we have had stay with our girls, she checked in daily to let us know things were going well and informed us if she needed to be away for any amount of time. We are so thankful to have Jordan as our dogsitter!
Amir is a fantastic pet sitter. He always takes very good care of our pups and our home. He's dependable, he's great with our boys, and always makes sure our diabetic pup is well taken care of (shots, extra love and attention, etc.). He is our 'go to' sitter. :-)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Damascus on Rover is $48.15 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 4,438 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Damascus. 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 Damascus 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 Damascus 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 Damascus 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.

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.
