“Nicholas is absolutely amazing!! He provided in home pet sitting for our 4 dogs for 5 days. He sent us pictures and videos of our pups daily. Our doggy crew were very calm and happy when we returned, and our house was left in pristine condition. We highly recommend Nicholas for all pet care needs and will definitely request his services in the future.”
“We had the absolute best experience with Viridianne looking after our cat while we were away for an extended period of time. Communication was above and beyond, which made us feel so comfortable being away from our cat. She’s dependable and obviously loves animals! We will definitely ask for her services in the future when we are away ☺️”
“Meredith was great! She met them a couple of times before we left, which really helped our older dog with anxiety. She connected so well with the pups. She kept us informed with pictures and videos, so we knew our pups were in good hands. She treated our home with care, too, which was appreciated. We would happily book with Meredith again!”
“Mara was fabulous with Wags. She paid close attention to what he needed and how he was doing. Communication with her was easy from booking through the visit. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have grown up around all kinds of dogs all of my life. Dogs who are scared of everyone, love everyone they all hold a special place in my heart. I have always wanted to do this ! I am a stay at home mom with two dogs of my own, so I really have a very open Monday-Friday Schedule and I am open to discussing weekends! I will treat them just like they are mine, and mine are spoiled to a core. All dogs are special and deserve to know they are loved.
“Erika did a fantastic job with our girls! They bonded with her almost immediately. This was our 2nd time using Erika and we plan to continue using her services anytime we need a sitter in our home. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. She is trustworthy and dependable.”
“I cannot praise Blanca and Mark's care of our babies and home enough to do them justice! They pampered our two rescue and reactive dogs with daily brushings and massaging, twice-daily walks and a lot of cuddling, training and rewarding in addition to feeding and medicating them on schedule. We received daily updates with videos and reports of each day's accomplishments. Our plants were monitored and new plants propagated. We even received gifts from their garden as well as (my favorite) a cutting of Pothos artfully displayed in one of our vases! Our refreshed home and relaxed fur babies made our homecoming not only painless - but very welcoming. They left our house, linens and appliances in pristine condition (not as we had left it) and even relieved some of the visible clutter! Blanca's eye for form and display were apparent throughout the house. Blanca and Mark's care this past week greatly exceeded our expectations and I will definitely be asking for their help in the future. I would give them more stars if possible.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had more than the average number of pets, which gave me extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the last six years, my family has owned and operated Cedar Brook German Shepherds, where I have helped care for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs while helping them find loving homes. Through my experience with dogs, I have learned the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every dog has unique needs and routines. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise routines, basic grooming, administering medications as instructed, and providing extra care and attention to senior dogs and puppies. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine care I have for every pet I work with. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and attention, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give every pet the same level of care, attention, and affection that I would want for my own. Pet care fits very well into my schedule. I am currently finishing my master’s degree online and work as a personal trainer/basketball coach, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Because I complete my coursework from home and have control over much of my work schedule, I am able to dedicate time to pet visits, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care is a natural fit alongside my current responsibilities. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or consistent care while you’re away, I am committed to making sure they receive reliable attention, care, and plenty of love. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I have a fenced-in backyard that provides a safe space for dogs to play and get exercise. I also have spacious crates available if a pet is crate-trained or if an owner prefers their pet to have a designated space. I always follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I am also happy to care for pets in their own home. I understand that many pets are most comfortable in a familiar environment, so I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, routines, and any special needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same level of attention, patience, and care that I give my own pets.
“Mardi did an incredible job taking care of our cats and home while we were away for a week! She followed our instructions perfectly, sent regular updates and photos, and left our house in even better condition than when she arrived. I’m usually a little anxious about leaving the cats when we travel, but I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing everything was safe in her hands. I will absolutely book her again the next time we need a cat sitter!”
“Samantha did a great job dog sitting for us for seven days. She took excellent care of our two dogs, kept us updated with pictures, and left our home just as clean as we left it. We highly recommend her and would gladly use her again!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Dogs seem to take to me well. I’ve worked as a junior groomer for a few months and trained my own dog. Not professionally, but he listens and understands. I’ve always loved dogs and been an animal person! I have an almost 4 month old baby so I have been a SAHM. I love to work and would like to help my family more. This way I can be at home loving on my son and also your fur babies! We just moved into our forever home due to my husband being retired Navy. We got married in Hawaii where he was stationed and I grew up. Our neighborhood was military and I would watch peoples dogs, board, check ins, walks. I worked at a doggie daycare and became close with a client who would bring her dog over to me to watch instead. Also, became very close with some people in the neighborhood whom I’ve take care of their dogs and now can say are friends like family!
About: My senior dog is 13+ years old now (I've had him since 2015) and whenever friends and family needed pet sitting/drop-in visits/walks they came to me, I have also owned a cat and am caring for a cat currently. I would like to start building up an actual professional client base/reputation if you're willing to give me a shot! I'm mostly available on the weekends for in-house pet sitting or otherwise. For weekdays, I work 8am-5pm M/T/Th/F, and 1pm-10pm on Wednesdays, so it's a bit more difficult unless you just need me to drop in or walk your pet :) I'll take care of your pets however you want me to, we have a very needy Bengal and my senior dog so I'm used to dealing with pets with extra needs.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. My friends, neighbors, and my family would rely on me to check on them. I would play with them, feed them, walk them, and sometimes if they have injuries I would change them and keep an eye on them while they were in my care. I'm currently not working at this moment. Im available from 9-5 during the weekdays but on the weekends I can do a couple hours if needed. I prefer the weekdays to be at the client's house and the weekends can be at my house because I have my kiddos. They love animals like they run with them and play fetch as well.
“Gabe is a nice man with a great heart for your pet(s). He communicates well and delivers on his promises. I feel I can trust him again to take care of my fur family of five.”
“heidi is a great dog sitter. we love having her in our home. she is exceptionally clean and goes above and beyond. she always sends many pictures and updates throughout the day which we love!!! she has always been available even under very short notice. we love heidi and will continue to always book her!”

“Ashley has been a wonderful caretaker for our puppy Linus! We are so grateful for her. Linus has separation anxiety and orthopedic problems and we felt 100% safe leaving him with Ashley. She is so attentive to his needs and clearly listened carefully and used the strategies we have found for keeping him calm as well as using her own (she honestly calms him down better than we do!). She was willing to go the extra mile and stay with him the whole time we were away (taking him with her when she needed to go out, as we had discussed) because he can't be left alone right now. She managed his meds and put on his orthopedic gear without issue. She was flexible when our travel plans unexpectedly changed and we got home very late at night. And the house was way cleaner than we left it when we returned! We will definitely be reaching out to her again--could not ask for a better experience!”

So very happy, pleased and excited with the wonderful job Samantha did while caring for our dog. Samantha communicated daily with updates, made certain that all medications were given as directed, and left our house in excellent shape despite the rain, muddy footprints, and shedding of our lab! My husband and I look forward to having Samantha take care of our dog in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Danville on Rover is $38.85 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 141 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.

- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
