“Kat is amazing! We were visiting Orlando and had to leave our pup for the whole day, so we decided to use Rover and loved Kat’s reviews! Kat did such a great job with our Golden Luna! She kept us updated the whole day with pictures, was very punctual with timing and overall made us feel so comfortable! When we come back to Orlando we will definitely reach out to Kat again! Highly recommend her!!! Thank you so much Kat!!”
“Allorah was wonderful and we will definitely be requesting her sitting services again. Her communication was excellent and she showed incredible kindness and patience with our nervous rescue pup. Highly recommend!”
“Michael is an all around amazing person. From the moment we met him, we knew he would be the perfect person to watch our Molly. He is so easy going and down to earth, not to mention was extremely loving to our Cockapoo. I would hire Michael in a heartbeat, he’s the BEST!”
“Danielle is a Godsend. She is so sweet with my girl dakota. Has always gone over and beyond to help me out in last minute situations and lives Dakota like her own. She even was helpful when my dog went into heat while I was away on my trip and washed her party panties ( diaper) for me. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Ariana spent a week taking care of my dog staying in my home. She has cared for her a few times when I’m away and is dependable and consistent in taking care of the house as well. I know I can relax and enjoy my time away when she is on duty.”
“This was the second time we had Luciana stay with our dog and watch our house and she is the best! Jasmine is always well taken care of and happy when we get home. I highly recommend her!”
“Zhilin was a perfect sitter. From daily pictures / videos, to constant updates on how the little kitty was doing, I genuinely could not have asked for anything more. I can go on and on about how good she was, and I will definitely be using Zhilin again to watch Simba. Highly recommend!”
“Lisa was UH-MAZING. This was our first experience with Rover, and it was incredible. We camped in the Orlando area and Lisa was able to help take care of our pups while we enjoyed the parks. Us and the pups adored her ?”
“Bradley did an amazing job with our 3 babies and kept us informed of everything happening with our pets and home. He even sent pictures of our mail and packages as they arrived and kept the house neat and tidy! I’ve had some bad experiences with previous house/pet sitters. Bradley did a phenomenal jobs and I felt very comfortable leaving our dachshunds in the hands of someone familiar with the breed. Expect lots of pictures of your pack!”
“Kristina was so wonderful to our heeler Indiana while we were on vacation. She was a godsend, especially when he had a last-minute paw injury and needed an unexpected round of oral meds. She spent so much time with him — more than we even expected — and while she kept us updated, we never felt overwhelmed with info. Our little pup got all his energy out on some soft walks that kept his paw healing, and even kept up with his Stick of the Day ™ from our neighborhood park. We came back to Indiana even better than we left him and we can’t thank Kristina enough.”
About: I have watched friends, family and family friends pets throughout my life.

I take my dog on long walks everyday and go to the dog park about twice a week. He has a set schedule for his feeding and needs. My cats just live their best life inside my home with plenty of treats and scratchers around.
About: Lifetime animal lover with specialized care experience. I have spent my entire life surrounded by pets and have personally owned cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages—from energetic puppies and kittens to gentle seniors requiring extra patience. Because of this lifetime of experience, I am highly attuned to animal behavior and comfort levels. I am completely comfortable administering oral and topical medications, managing strict feeding schedules, and handling basic grooming needs like bathing and brushing. Whether your pet needs a high-energy play session, a relaxing bath, or meticulous medical care, I can provide a safe, experienced, and loving environment tailored precisely to their routine. I am currently available Monday through Friday after 5pm and any time on weekends to care for your pets. Please always feel free to reach out to see how we can make it work! I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pet requires immense trust, which is why your pet’s safety and the security of your property is my absolute priority. As a dedicated, full-time pet care servicer, I strictly follow your specific home rules, locking procedures, and pet routines to keep everything seamless and secure. I am highly vigilant during outdoor transitions, always keeping your dog securely leashed, maintaining strict awareness of my surroundings, and never allowing interaction with unknown animals. I manage your home and care for your pets with the highest level of respect, providing you with complete peace of mind and detailed, transparent updates during every single visit.
“Christa was PHENOMENAL! She took such great care of our puppies. She was flexible to all of their unique needs and puppy behaviors while sticking to their routine. Christa was also very communicative, professional, and kind. She made it feel natural to not worry about the pups because we knew they were in good hands.”
“Taylor took excellent care of our dog and cat! We have quite a few "special" requirements for our senior four-legged family members and Taylor was up for the task. She stayed in our home and fit in like a champ! In fact, we've booked Taylor for another (longer) visit. Thank you, Taylor!”
“Brigit once again did an amazing job with house sitting and taking care of our dogs. She is always pleasant, professional, and includes daily updates. She is our go to Rover sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs a caring sitter to watch their pets.”
“Emilee is one of the best pet sitters we have ever worked with! She took wonderful care of our cat and dog in our home for two weeks. They were extremely well cared for and we would love to work with her again in the future!”
“Brianna is amazing, friendly and super sweet. My cat is a bit aggressive and unfriendly but she handled him so nicely. I was amazed to see my cat was actually very friendly and comfortable with her. He doesnt let strangers pet him but he let Brianna pet him. Shes definitely a professional the way she took care of my very picky cat. Thankyou Brianna for your services and looking forward to hire you again =)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Davenport
I didn't know that it was a couple that watched my dogs? But it actually worked out better! Jamie and her husband are Great ! Very polite, respectful, and humble. I would be glad to use them again! They helped us out in a jamb and stayed an extra day with no notice! House was left clean, bed made, no dishes, etc. Good kids! Will hire again!
Kat has been an absolute lifesaver for us - couldn’t recommend her enough! After moving from the UK to the US earlier this year, I was anxious about finding someone who could look after my nervous dog who has never stayed with anyone other than family. Kat was more than understanding with us when we wanted to arrange a few visits beforehand so Vinnie could get to know her. It’s meant that we’ve been able to enjoy a short vacation without worrying about him. She was also very accommodating when we announced we’d adopted a second dog a week before! We’ve had lots of photos and updates which has been really great, and I think Vinnie and Boone are already looking forward to the next time!
This was our 2nd time using Haylee and she was just as wonderful! We will continue to use her for future needs! My dog normally has separation anxiety and was fine the whole time with Haylee! She’s very reliable and responsive! She sent picture updates every visit!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Davenport on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,101 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Davenport. 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 Davenport 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 Davenport 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 Davenport 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.
