“Andrea was great with our boys!! She shared photos regularly and was communicative about her timing and any questions upon arrival. We would love to have her sit for the boys again!”
“Erin took care of our dogs at the last minute after our dog sitter canceled on us. She came to visit and meet the dogs. She sent pics of the dogs daily. She took great care of our pups and even bought them a gift. How sweet! We would highly recommend her to stay with your dogs.”
“Keirsten house sat for us while we were away for the week and made sure our 2 dogs were well taken care of. She was very good at communicating throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures. When we returned home our girls were very happy and healthy and she left the house incredibly clean. Will definitely book again.”
“Sam was amazing! We have a very senior dog who has some issues, and Sam was so great with her and so understanding! She kept in contact and sent photos, letting us know how Piper was doing. She went above and beyond, and we came home to a happy dog. I would recommend Sam to everyone! Thank you so much, Sam!”
“She’s amazing. We love her, we were able to travel with peace of mind because she gave us a lot of confidence. We have 3 dogs and they loved her too. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Allison was truly a blessing and if I ever need this service again, I will absolutely contact her! This was my first time ever leaving for multiple days and our planned sitter (a friend of ours) fell through shortly before our trip. Allison gave us the peace of mind that our dog's would be taken care of. She stayed with them for more time than I had even dared hope for and sent us regular updates. She was transparent, responsible, respectful and kind. Upon our return it was obvious that our dogs missed us but it was also obvious that they had been well cared for and treated with nothing but love and kindness. I can't possibly be even more thankful than I am.”
“Thank you Mikayla for taking care of our little guy! Tucker is a special little Yorkie with health concerns requiring constant monitoring. Mikayla stepped up and delivered reliable excellent care. Oral medication and special dietary needs were taken care of. She communicated with us and sent pics of our guy which was a relief. We could relax and have peace of mind. Bonus, she left the house clean and tidy! We already have our next trip booked! Thank you again!”
About: We treat animals as parents would with a child. It's all about knowing that every creature has a personality of their own and taking the appropriate approach for positive behavior and training. We work full-time, yet we make time for evening walks with our youngest dog (if the temperature is bearable). On the weekends, we take her for 1-2 walks within the two days. Late Spring to mid Fall is the best time for outdoor fun. We have another older dog that is crate trained if they need to be caged in because of visitors. If a dog is trained well enough to not run off, we do have a wide open backyard they can run around in.
“Lindsay was so amazing. Dozer and Penny love when she comes to take care of them. Lindsay will always put your pet babies first and makes sure they are comfortable, loved, and well cared for!”
“We were on vacation for a week and we have never left our 2 dogs with anyone but family. However, this time we could not, so we tried Rover and met Christine. I knew from our meet and greet that our girls were in good hand. The girls immediately took to Christine and so did we. Christine took care of our girls so well and sent us updates. We would definitely have her back anytime to take care of our girls. Thank you Christine! Our vacation was so much better knowing our girls were in safe hands.”
“I had a last-minute adjustment to my vacation schedule and needed a sitter and found Shayna. She was super flexible and accommodating, and came to meet my dogs and learn their routine the same day! Shayna provided excellent care for my dogs who are anxious and can sometimes be difficult to care for. I would absolutely use her again for overnight services or walking anytime that we are traveling and she is available! Thank you for taking such good care of my girls💙🐶”
“Sarah was great! She took the time to meet with me ahead of time to review Lucy's special needs. She even did research ahead of time so she would be familiar with her disorder. She arrived on time and communicated quickly every time I reached out. Lucy seemed very happy upon my return. She helped keep the house in order and even watered my plants. She is extremely kind and caring. I have fully confidence in leaving Lucy in her care. I will definitely continue to request Sarah as I need assistance.”
“Jeanne was wonderful! We planned a summer trip before we even knew we were getting a puppy, so we were nervous about leaving her behind at only 6 months old. Jeanne came to the house ahead of time to meet our puppy and understand our needs and Coco's routines. During her stay at our house, she sent us updates and pictures, and we knew that Coco was in good hands! I would book with Jeanne again, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog to feel loved while they are away!”
“Sarah was wonderful! She was on time, responsive and took wonderful care of our pets! Our house was left clean and she even texted and asked questions when one of our pets wasn’t fully finishing meals. We felt our pets were in wonderful hands. We will definitely be having her back soon.”
“Every pet owner needs a Theo. I’ve used a lot of sitters from rover vs local colleges to friend’s kids, but Theo is by far the best sitter there is out there. My (hard to handle) crew is always well taken care of and my house is usually in better shape than when I left 🤣 top notch sitter for sure!”
“Elly helped us out in a pinch with our dog, Mike - she came over for a meet and greet prior to and Mike was obviously comfortable with her from the time she walked in. She sent regular photo and text updates and was very clean and conscientious. 100% would recommend Elly for dog and house sitting!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Derry Village
This is about the third time Sandy has taken care of our kittes and home, and she always does an outstanding job. It allows me to fully relax and enjoy our travels because I know that our babies are happy. They used to get so freaked out when they saw the suitcases come out. Bu now they just look on as we prepare for our trip, knowing that their friend Sandy will soon arrive to entertain them.
Jennifer was amazing while we were away on vacation. Upon meeting Jennifer I knew she would be a great fit for us. Our dogs loved her and she is on top of everything. Our dogs were well taken care of and I received notes and pictures all week. I never once worried while we were away. Will definitely use her again and would highly recommend !
Andrea watched our two dogs and did a fantastic job! Especially given that it was a last minute request she was incredible to work with and the dogs loved her right off the bat! Would recommend her to anyone, and look forward to working with her in the future! Thank you Andrea!!
Danielle was awesome and handled probably the weirdest request effortlessly. We asked Danielle to come to our RV to watch our dogs while we were in a wedding. We got updates, pictures, she gave meds, everything was perfect. We appreciate her so much and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!
I had a wonderful experience with Emily. She is incredibly responsive, always quick to reply to messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was super easy to work with, beginning with our meet and greet to coordinating details, everything was smooth and stress-free. Panelo was well cared for and happy, and my home was left in excellent condition. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Derry Village
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Derry Village on Rover is $61.05 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 1,861 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Derry Village. 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 Derry Village 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 Derry Village 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 Derry Village 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.
