“My neighbors backed out of pet sitting a day before I was leaving on my trip. I didn't want to board my cats because my one cat becomes suicidal when he has to be boarded. I downloaded the Rover app and found Yara. I submitted my request and was relieved when she quickly and cheerfully agreed to take care of my two cats. She was soon taking care of my cats and sending me pictures. I knew they were in good hands and they both liked her too. I will request Yara the next time I take a trip.”
“Kat was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog while we were away, and her communication throughout gave us complete peace of mind. She sent regular updates and photos, which really helped us relax knowing our pup was happy and well cared for. We needed someone who could stay at our home most of the time, and Kat was incredibly flexible and accommodating with our schedule. On top of caring for our dog, she was also respectful and thoughtful in taking care of our home. We can’t thank her enough for her kindness, reliability, and professionalism. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring petsitter!”
About: Dogs, cats, fish or whatever baby you call family, I’m your go-to person! Animals are my absolute joy, and I treat every single one like the superstar they are. Big, small, fluffy, scaly, it doesn't matter; they’re all a perfect 10 in my book Need a walker? Playtime buddy? A cuddle companion? I’ve got you covered! My schedule is as flexible as a yoga instructor on a trampoline. Whatever your pet needs, I’m here to make it happen. No matter their size or breed, I bring my A-game every time. Your pet’s safety is my top priority! I’ve got a screened-in back patio for fresh air without the escape artist antics. No other pets here, so if your fur baby prefers solo time, we’re golden. My space is tidy and pet-proofed for their comfort and your peace of mind
“Lucy was incredible with our 4 month old puppy, Casper! It was our first time being away from her overnight, and she kept our stress low with frequent updates and pictures! Casper loved her! We are so happy to find such a wonderful sitter, and we hope to have her back soon!!”
“Vanessa was absolutely amazing with my 8 month old puppy! 💖 She took such great care of her and gave her so much love, attention, and company while my whole family was out at the theme park for the day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my puppy was happy, comfortable, and in such caring hands. 🐶🥰 I’m so grateful we found Vanessa and would absolutely book her again the next time we’re in the Orlando area. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby! 💕🐾”
“Hannah and Kristal were wonderful sitters! Going away and knowing your furry family members and your home are safe and cared for is such a relief, and Hannah and Kristal definitely made us feel confident and secure that would be the case. And they made our shy, skittish dog feel at ease, which is no easy feat! Thank you, Hannah and Kristal!”

“Maritza is a fur baby parent’s dream!! Her communication, professionalism, and planning is above and beyond!! Her caring for our Happy was more than we could ever hoped for! She made sure that both myself and our Happy felt both love and comforted while being apart. Again, I cannot recommend a better sitter for your fur baby.”
About: I have never professionally cared for dogs but I have had a dog all my life until I was 20 years old. I love dogs they are like family. I love to hug and kiss on them. I love to pet them and cuddle with them. I love playing with them and seeing how cute they are when they are jumping and running around. I work for the board of ed as a school lunch helper so I only work 4 hrs a day. I have a 8 and 12 yr old who love dogs as well. I keep a very clean home and love the outdoors. I would be very excited to care for your dogs to be one more person to love them. I have been doing rover for a year and a half now I am currently a stay at home mom to teenagers so they pretty much do their own thing wich means I have plenty of time for your pups 😊 My apartment is not very large so they are free to Rome wherever. I also enjoy walks in the park so they will be very active with me .
“Kristina is absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home with our dog, Nelly, for a week and I got pictures and detailed updates daily. She was so great with our Nelly, and I was confident from the first meet-and-greet that Nelly would be in safe hands with her. She even made sure our home was immaculate on our return. We are excited to have the connection with Kristina for future dog needs. Highly recommend!”
“I have no doubt Cliffort will be our dog sitter from now on. He was responsible, caring, and attentive. He always sent us videos and photos of our dog having fun and having a great time. Thank you for taking care of our furry friend. I highly recommend him.”

“Took good care of our Labrador Finn while we were away for a week. Sara made sure he got walks and got to swim and spent lots of time with Finn. We had a really hard time booking with rover and them processing payment and paying Sara timely. Rover was terrible but Sara was easy to work with and patient while they figured it out.”
“Shey and Mason were fantastic with our elderly and very high needs dog. They got back to me very quickly every time I texted! They took care of everything I asked them to do and I didn’t need to worry about anything while we were on vacation. Both were fantastic! Will definitely use them again!”
About: I have loved and cared for pets for 30 years. I’m patient, caring, and attentive, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I treat every pet like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending plenty of time with the pets in my care. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, companionship, and regular attention throughout the day. I understand that every pet has a different routine, and I am happy to follow their usual schedule so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a private home with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, play, and explore. Before their stay, I ask pet parents about their dog’s routine, personality, favorite activities, food, treats, and anything they may not like. If medications are needed, I ask that they be clearly labeled with the pet’s name and instructions so I can give them safely and on schedule. I also want to know about any allergies, special needs, or important habits. I follow each pet’s routine carefully and give them plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their family is away.

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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Davenport is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $83 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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
