“We had such a wonderful experience with Mary! She stayed with Teddy for three nights while we were away and was so kind, attentive, and generous with him. She took him on daily walks and sent us updates and photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Mary also went above and beyond with our home. She washed the sheets from the bed she used, watered our front porch plant, brought in our mail, and even folded towels we had left in the dryer! We came home to a happy Teddy and a beautifully cared for home. We feel so lucky to have found Mary and absolutely cannot wait to have her back to stay with Teddy again. Thank you so much, Mary! ❤️”
“Elizabeth took such good care of our dog while we were away for our trip. She sent updates and photos daily and made sure our dog was comfortable and loved every day. We highly recommend Elizabeth for anyone who is in need of someone to watch after their pet and home.”
“We have had some great pet sitters butMonika is the best! She stayed at our house when we were away in vacation, gave Oreo amazing amounts of attention, took her out for multiple walks and outings every day, and we appreciated the frequent updates. Very highly recommend!”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful with my pug and cat! She was incredibly communicative, kept me updated the whole time, and took amazing care of them both. I felt completely at ease leaving them in her hands and will definitely book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Brittany took wonderful care of our dogs, cats, and rats! She was very responsive, attentive, and communicated well with us while we were away. We appreciated the way she tracked their schedule and went above and beyond cleaning up after them in our yard. It definitely made our time away more relaxing.”
“Desiree was an amazing pet sitter. She was wonderful with Cassie, giving her tons of attention and catering to her unique eating quirks! She was such a considerate houseguest and spent most of her time at home with Cassie. She supplied tons of pictures, was always quick to respond and helped me out during my travel delays (thanks Southwest) being super flexible and going out of her way to make sure my girl was cared for until I could get home to her. She is our go to dog sitter!!”
“Annie did an amazing job housesitting our two dogs while we were out of state visitng family and friends. She sent many updates and photos, was incredibly prompt and courteous, and gave us the gift of peace of mind while away from our pups - which is something that's hard for me! We will certainly be booking Annie again and I encourage others to consider Annie when looking for execllent pet care.”
“Sabrina was attentive to my dogs, made sure they received their medications, and gave some extra attention to my dog who was three weeks post-op, which I really appreciated. My dogs seemed to really like her! She sent updates and photos and left the house clean with things put back where they belong.”
“Jana and Ryan took good care of my two furry babies during their stay at my place. I like the photos they sent me. My dogs felt comfortable playing and walking with them. Will book them again for the pet care in the future 👍”
“She took the best care imaginable of my little munchkin. I was out of the country with no phone access, so knowing that she was sending me reports and loving my girl made me feel so relieved.”
“Hailey took good care of our Rhodesian Ridgeback Damson who can be a lap full, just ask Hailey! She picked after Samson in yard and left house neat and clean. Thank you Hailey, good job!”
About: Hi! Im Caitlin! I have had dogs my whole life. I have lots of experience caring for my dogs as well as others that i take care of. I started dog walking in middle school, and have started to do more dogsitting! I have experience with many different breeds of dogs, big and small! I am currently a college student. Besides attending classes, i have lots of free time to take care of dogs and take them for walks! I always pay attention to the pets and make sure they are happy, but also being safe. While walking, i always keep them on leash and away from the cars driving by. While in the house, i do my best to keep an eye on them and give them lots of pets and get their energy out!
“Allie was amazing! She was incredibly trustworthy, communicative, attentive, and kind. Since she’s also a dog trainer, she knew exactly how to handle a young puppy and made us feel completely at ease leaving Churro with her. She even taught Churro some new things while we were away! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Jordan took care of our 2 cats for a week when we went away on vacation. He was really on top of things, responsible and reliable. He sent us photos daily by text to assure us everything was happening according to plan. He’s really nice too. I highly recommend him!”
“Mary Jane spent the night with Bodie while I was away for work meetings. She was great, and Bodie was well taken care of. I really appreciated that she checked on him in the afternoon, since I was a delayed returning.”
About: I am a college graduate, living at home while I look for a full-time job. I have grown up with pets my entire life. I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback, German Shepherd, Tuxedo cats, and Tabby cats. I have pet sat for over 8 years with animals of all sizes and ages, and would love to help out! I am currently searching for a full-time job, so I have a lot of free time to care for your pets. I can stay overnight or check in throughout the day, depending on their needs. I am very diligent when caring for animals. I like to always have my eye on them and have an understanding of what they need, whether that is rest, love, or food.

Trevor took great care of our puppy! He was communicative throughout the visit, checking in when he arrived and again before he left. He also sent us photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We’re so happy with the care he provided and truly appreciate how well he looked after our little fur baby. We would definitely book with him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Danville on Rover is $79.92 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 9,677 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.

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.
