Christie went way beyond what was expected. She walked the dogs twice a day some days. She sent pictures regularly. Washed and dried the sheets and towels. She even potted a plant of mine that wouldn’t hold water. The house looked great when we got home! We can’t say enough good things about her and the dogs seemed to really like her. We will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Eddie and Carla

About: I am a 30 year old female who loves all animals. I have grown up with animals all my life and have owned many of my own pets. I very much like spending time walking around or just sitting and gaming and cuddling with my pets. I am able to train puppies as i have owned a 3 time grand champion vizsla, though I am no professional I was just taught so i could show my dog. I enjoy spending time in the woods and or in the ocean just being about in the beauty of nature. I hope and pray to be able to meet your little or big angel because that is what a pet is an ANGEL and a beloved family member. please enjoy your day! it is my life. i do this for my job, but i do love all animals so i am more than happy to do this. im very patient and willing to just let them get to know me. i follow things to a tee that way your pet gets the care it needs

Kattie was incredible! We had a last minute family emergency and she came to help. My dogs have absolutely loved her. I have several special needs dogs with meds needed. She was comfortable and great with administering them. We got daily pictures which helped out our minds at ease. If you need a great person that goes above and beyond for your pups this is your lady. Thanks again Kattie.

This is the second time Jaylyn has pet sit for us and we are so thankful for her care for our furry babies! We have four younger rescue dogs and Jaylyn is relaxed and chill with them and has a great sense of humor, which I so appreciate, while providing care for each of their unique personalities. At our first meet and greet there was some barking but before the visit was over our slightly more apprehensive and on guard dog was giving her kisses. Jaylyn didn’t stress our dogs, we watched her respecting their comfort zones and as a result they all did end up happily wanting her attention. Jaylyn put our minds at ease as we left them all for the first time for a few days in a row (she pet sit in our home) and she was the first we reached out to when we needed a day sitter now. Her willingness to accommodate what is important to us in the care of our dogs means a lot to us. I appreciate her correspondence while we are away too. Our dogs are our family and we feel at ease with them in Jaylyn’s care.

About: I have had a German Shepard growing up. I had the responsibility of feeding, walking, grooming and teaching him basic tricks and commands. My sister has a corgi who I have cared for, and loved for many years now. We love to go on walks together and play fetch. I follow directions very well and dogs really do love me. I have experience with new born puppies and dogs less then one year. I know about puppy tendencies and handle them well. I am comfortable around big dogs, small dogs, three legged dogs, all the pups are my favorites. I am free all days Tuesday and Wednesday, and Mondays evenings. I am visiting the area for the entire month with family and would love to spend some time with some lovely pets!! And make some money 😉 I cannot take care of pets in my own home, but would feel comfortable being in their usually space with them, hopefully having stuff to play with them with!

About: I am a CMA, and have worked in 4 vets offices over the years. I can give medication (oral, topicals or shots). I have been a groomer for 9ish years (traveling to homes and in grooming shops). I also come packing a huge heart ready to love whatever babies you have. I have cared for them all and really to care for yours!💜 I recently had surgery in March but have been cleared for work. I am a mobile groomer for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Working with vets/in hospitals, I have learned the best way to keep your animals safe and happy is to stay in their own home. Cars and new environments can cause a lot of stress or anxiety. Drop in visits and house sitting keeps your pet in a safe and comfortable place without the exposure to others or their pets.

I also have volunteered at my local animal shelter which taught me a lot of skills about how to make a dog comfortable with you and gave me firsthand experience dealing with various different personalities and dog breeds. I have 2 dogs of my own that I care for one of which is a my rescue baby who I found on the street and nursed back to health. I’ve worked with senior dogs before bathing them, as well as helping them with the bathroom and with giving them their medications. I’ve also helped bottle feed newborn puppies who sadly lost their mother. I’m currently a college student and I have classes on Monday and Wednesday from 9 to 11:30 a class on Tuesday from 9:30 to 12. I will happily do early morning walks or check-in’s as long as they are before at least 30 minutes from when I have to be at my classes and walks and check-ins after 12 through the rest of the week. I am adapt at handling all kind of dogs and all with different personalities and am willing to able to do just about anything to make them the most comfortable they can be.

Mary was absolutely wonderful. We have not both left our cat and dog for an extended time and were able to have a wonderful vacation. Mary took excellent care of our nervous dog lay and watching movies with her. We received tons of updates and pictures to know our pets were comfortable. We will absolutely be using Mary in the future.

About: -New clients get $10 off your first stay -Book 5 nights get $10 off -Book 10 nights get $20 off -Book 20+ nights get $30 off Hello! I am home full-time and enjoy having new doggy friends to care for and give love and attention to. I have a large home with a big fenced in back yard and I live 2 houses down from a huge park that I take the dogs on walks to. I've been dog sitting for about 12 years now and am loving it. I enjoy having and keeping all your fur babies safe while your away. All my rover clients receive pictures and updates on how there dogs are doing from the time your furbaby shows up till the time they leave. My prices are always changing so keep an eye out to get a deal. Let me know if your dogs are on any special diets, can have treats and if they are food aggressive. I understand the importance of caring for animals just as they were my own and make it my mission to have happy dogs staying with me. It is very common for first time borders to be nervous, so don't hesitate to ask a lot of questions! I have experience caring for multiple dogs at a time, I also accept long term stays as well as last minute bookings. Before requesting a booking with me, please note: all dogs must not be aggressive towards other dogs or humans, must be fully vaccinated, and must not bark consistently, especially at night. suggested items to bring: food with written feeding instructions, treats, small bed or blanket, and bowls. I take the dogs out Around 7 AM each morning and then several times throughout the day and usually end our day about 7- 8PM I have a large backyard for the dogs to play in and I have crates in case I unexpectedly get an aggressive dog or your pup enjoys having a safe space to sleep. I’m home full-time and I am available to love on your pups on weekdays and weekends. Your pup will get the love and attention it’s used too. I have a large fenced in yard for your pups to enjoy. I Also live next to a very huge park that your dog will enjoy walking in and enjoying others out there with their fur babies. Also I have crates in case I unexpectedly get an aggressive dog or if your fur baby just wants a safe and comfy place to sleep.

FAQs for House Sitting - Danville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 146 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Danville. 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 Danville 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 Danville 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 Danville 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
