“Hannah was fantastic with Oliver! She sent adorable pics throughout the visit so I could see he was happy and well taken care of. She was so sweet with him and left my apartment spotless when she left. I'd trust her with Oliver again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Coralee and I’m 20. Ive been a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for animals as long as I can remember. I am new to the Rover community, but I know how important it is to have the right person taking care of your pet(s)! I am constantly around animals in my day to day life and I am comfortable around all dog + cat breeds and sizes!! I am always willing to adapt and learn any type of dog/cats personality and what suits them best as it is not only my time but most importantly theirs. When I come to care for, play with, and walk your dog/cat I will dedicate all of my time to loving and bonding with them just as if they were my own! I am currently home full-time getting my GED online and I am available for drop ins, dog walking, and pet sitting. I will have more openings towards the holidays/end of the year starting NOV/DEC 2026. Please schedule all pet sittings a day or more in advance, I only ask this because I don’t want times overlapping. At my home I do have cats of my own, but they can be safely secured or moved if need be. There are also smokers at my house, but they only smoke outside NEVER inside. I have a very big un-fenced backyard and also a pool area with fence where we can relax, play, and even swim in the summer if allowed by owner first. At your home I really just want you and your dog/cat to be as comfortable as possible with me being there! I am totally fine with cameras and checking in on me, that is never a problem. If you have specific rules for your pet or your property I will follow and respect them. You can always reach out if you ever need anything!!
About: I’ve been working with dogs for about 2 years now going on three next month. I do work at a doggy day care so I am with different breeds of dogs everyday and learning new things as well. I take care of 3 Samoyeds a lot of the time which are very high maintenance and a lot to take care of. I work at a doggy daycare from Sunday To Wednesday Morning so Wednesday Night-Saturday Night are the best times to walk or check in on your fur baby. As a dog walker , I walk my dogs everyday even though they have a fenced in backyard. I still think it is important for them to get some walks in through the day.
“Angelia responded to a last minute request to sit our three dogs for a day in our AirBnB while on vacation so we could take a day trip to Boston. She came early to meet the dogs and get acquainted with them and was great with them. By the time we returned even the Chihuahua, who is very slow to accept strangers, was won over. Would highly recommend Angelia.”
“Courtney did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were away! We came home to two happy dogs and a house that was clean and tidy. She responded quickly and kept us in the loop the entire time. I would highly recommend, Courtney.”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful!!! She is incredibly responsive to text messages and took such good care of our Sadie for 3 nights. This was the 1st time we left our 7 month old golden with anyone and of course, wanted everything to go smoothly. She sent me photos and updates and I didn’t have to worry at all. I would absolutely hire Sarah again without any hesitation!! I know you’ll love her!”
“Carina is a lovely responsible young woman. She is timely, communicates well with updates and pictures and left the house in perfect condition. She met my neighbor after my pup Libby wandered “thru” the fence to their yard and reacted immediately and apologetically to my neighbor. They also told me they were super impressed with her and were so happy to meet Carina! I hope she is free to watch Libby again in the near future!”
“Jenny took wonderful care of our dog Millie while staying at our house. She left the house super clean and Millie seemed very happy when we returned. We are booking her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I helped train my dogs and I dog sat my old bosses three dogs while they were away for a weekend. They also had horses. I am available until August. I have some family vacations planned that I will be going away on but I can have a flexible schedule otherwise. I have two friendly dogs that get along very well with other dogs. The house is extremely clean and my dogs have endless love and walks outside.
“TJ did an amazing job with both of my dogs! We did a pre-meet and he did great to make sure we were comfortable with him and answer any questions we had. He was real communicative and sent pictures of them and everything they did. Usually the typical sitters won’t really send anything but TJ went above and beyond. Definitely recommend him in a heartbeat.”
“Ann Marie is fantastic! She was able to accommodate me last minute after my originally planned dog care fell through. She was very communicative, took extra time to meet me to walk through my dog Remys routine and treated him like he was one of her own while we were away. Anyone who loves their dog like a fur baby knows the guilt and worry of leaving them behind while being away and my husband and I had peace of mind knowing he was so well taken care of. We will definitely be reaching out again, thank you so much Ann Marie for taking such great care of Remy.”
“Stephanie was fantastic! She was attentive to our three bratty hounds with their odd eating requirements and pill schedule, kept us up-to-date as to how things were going, and was as delightful as could be. We'd be happy to have her watch our crew again.”
About: I have looked after dogs and cats for my entire life. I have watched dogs of all sizes and multiple pets at a time, including cats and dogs, multiple dogs of different breeds/ sizes, or cats of different sizes and breeds. I can work from home so I can take care of them throughout the day; a lot of attention, walks, medication administration, etc. = happy pets! I stick to the routine and boundaries set by the client. Different dogs require different levels of care and I am experienced with many different types of breeds. I believe we are all animals whom deserve the best quality of life possible, so as long as I am looking after your pet, they will be treated with the respect they deserve!
“Alexandra took great care of our dogs! They were happy when we returned home and not a bit stressed by our absence. She was communicative while we were away to let us know how they were doing. She also was not intimidated by our large dog.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Danville is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $37 per night.

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 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.

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.
