“We had such a great experience with Sandra. She took great care of all 4 of our animals. She sent lots of pictures and updated us on the pets. She was very accommodating to our senior dog who is on medication and wears a diaper. We are excited that we have found someone we can trust to watch our pets in the future!”
“Dyanne was very prompt, flexible, and communicated well. She took her time to get to know all of our pets a few days ahead of time, which was great, because it gave them a chance to get used to a new sitter. She has a strong love of animals and is committed to taking great care of them! 💗”
“Tayler was amazing! She was quick to reply to our last minute booking and took great care of Kali. She also went above and beyond by leaving things cleaner than when we left and giving our pup a much needed bath. Will absolutely be utilizing her services in the future if she’s available!”
About: I grew up on a farm, where caring for animals of all kinds—including dogs, cats, and livestock—was part of everyday life. I have 5+ years of experience raising dogs and 3 years working in a dog boarding facility, caring for multiple dogs with different needs, routines, and temperaments. I also worked for a veterinarian, gaining experience with safe handling, health awareness, and attentive care. In addition, I have 3 years of experience training puppies starting as young as 3 days old, focusing on early socialization, routine building, and positive reinforcement. Whether I’m caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, cats, or farm animals, I provide dependable, loving, and detail-oriented care. I treat every animal like family and prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. I am a full time chiropractic student, so I will have time in the early morning and late evening on weekdays. I will also be available all day during the weekends! I care for pets by following their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding, exercise, medications, and preferences. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. Safety and comfort are always my priorities, and I closely monitor behavior and health. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, cats, and farm animals, and I adjust my care to fit each pet. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while away.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and often helped out with my neighbors animals as needed. I enjoy walking so that is always good to have them as company I do work full time but my hours verify. So it would be good for those that don’t have the normal 9-5 job that everyone else has. Walking and playing and of course talking to them. Being aware and watching the dog truly helps understand what they need and when they need it
“Eric was great! He took great care of our snuggly beagle and our home. Chester was at ease with Eric and we could tell that he got all the treats and affection to which he is deservedly entitled. We will definitely ask Eric to sit for us again on our next trip.”
“Claire took excellent care of our pups and the house. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout our trip. The house was tidy and well kept and the pups were happy when we got home.”
“Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. I have a cat that no one has ever really pet her due to shyness. Well Amber on the first visit was not only able to pet but she also was having biscuits made on her. My kitty loved her. All my animals did.”
About: I’ve grew up on a farm so I’ve always had animals around, and I love animals. When I was little I would find myself picking up a bird because it couldn’t fly. My family has always had a dog, so I know how to take care of them. If they need special attention, or treatment just let me know and I would be more than willing to accommodate and help!! I can’t wait to meet and take care of your fur babies!! I’m currently attending Asbury University in Wilmore KY. Weekdays, I’m available in the mornings, some afternoons, and open again in the evenings. Weekends I am free after 12! I would love to check in on your pets during the day, stay with them, or tale them on walks! I have one senior dog, and a dog that just turned 1 so I have expereince with al the ages in between!
About: My first job was working at a vet clinic with dogs and 20 years later I’m still passionate about what I do! I am a certified pet care technician with a lifetime of experience working with dogs. Also pet CPR certified. I have a dog grooming area on-site at home as well. Can sent text and photo updates. Professional, experienced, and I love dogs. I Look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I work with dog rescue and dedicate my life to dogs bc it's what I love! I am a current member of APDT Association of professional dog trainers, working towards my dog training certification. I love all breeds but I especially love working with bully breeds. Many boarding facilities do not allow these breeds of dog. Most are just big cuddle bugs, and I am happy to oblige!
“Casey came to the rescue last minute when we needed a sitter! She was professional and great with all of our pets! I will definitely be using her again and referring her to others!”
“Ashlynn was very professional, on time, courteous, followed directions, and took great care of our little fur babies on the first day of being with them for ten hours. I will definitely be calling on her again. Good job.”

“Caitlin was wonderful with my girls. She watched them over the 4th of July and spent all evening comforting them since they are terribly afraid of fireworks. The pups were super comfortable when I got home. I will absolutely be booking again.”

“Kat was amazing! She’s not only just a cool person, but our dogs took to her immediately. We appreciate the communication while we were away - including pics of the pups lounging the day away. I will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is that pet care has always been personal for me, not just a job. I grew up caring for cats and dogs, and some of my favorite childhood memories come from that. I've since fostered puppies and kittens through the humane society and pet sat for friends, family, and their friends' cats and dogs over the years. One example that stands out: I spent three years as the regular go-to sitter for a family's cats whenever they traveled, handling feeding, litter box duty, and plenty of love and attention. I also bring hands-on senior pet care experience: my own dog needed medication, pumpkin mixed into her food, and extra attentiveness in her later years, and I'm also comfortable with things like flea and heartworm treatment. With fostered kittens and puppies, I've helped with soft food feedings and socializing them to be comfortable around people. Whether it's a kitten, a senior, or anything in between, I'm at ease in your pet's home and would love to love on your pet! I recently started working remotely, which makes pet care easy to fit into my day. My schedule is flexible enough for morning and evening walks, plus midday walks or feeds whenever needed. And because I can be home most of the day, your pet gets consistent love and company, not just quick check-ins. I treat your home the way I'd want mine treated: with respect, care, and attention to detail. Between 15 years of pet care experience and 5 years of housesitting, I'm used to following careful instructions; not just for your pet's routine, but for your home too. I know I'm a guest, so I prioritize keeping things tidy and organized. On a recent 10-day stay caring for two cats, that meant watering the plants, bringing in the mail daily, and vacuuming up fur to keep the home as clean as I found it. I've sat in all kinds of spaces (rural, city, apartments, houses), so I can adapt easily to whatever your home looks like, and my goal is always to keep your pet comfortable in the space they already know.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
