Tracy took great care of our 3 Frenchies while we wetter on vacation. She was very responsive, sent pictures daily, sometimes multiple times. I was very confident after meeting Tracy that she had the compassion and experience to take good care of our pups. We will definitely be using her again.

Sara was absolutely incredible to work with! One of our dogs got into some raisins the day before we left town, and was in the Pet ER. With some help from family, when our dog got home, Sara was incredibly competent with handling a variety of meds, foods, timing of things, and showed an exceptional awareness of the needs for both dogs. She communicated often and was very thorough. We are so thankful that Sara was there!

I met Adrienne recently to have her pet sit. Upon first meeting, she asked all the appropriate questions about how to care for them. The weekend had some adventures (not fault of hers) but she handled it beautifully and showed so much love for my pets. I absolutely will use her again. ❤️ -from A Veterinarian

Jessica was fantastic. This was the first time we had someone sit in our house for our dog Clyde. He gets anxious when he is not with our family. When we returned from our trip he was still his happy self. No stress or anxiety. Jessica took great care of Clyde and our home! We will definitely use Jessica again.

First time using Rover and leaving my 10-week-old puppy, and Ava was absolutely fantastic. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day, and I could tell he was having so much fun. She kept him on his schedule and was clearly experienced with puppies. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands- will definitely be using Ava again!

Jenny was kind, caring, punctual and a great communicator. She took wonderful care of our sweet puppy while we were away. Jenny also took great care of our home, even getting the mail I forgot to put on hold. Her communication by text both before and during our time away was speedy and she even included photos of our pup having fun. We look forward to Jenny caring for our pup the next time we are away.

Sherri is amazing!!! We feel so comfortable going away and leaving our dog in her care!! She sends us thoughtful updates and cute pics of our dog, and she messages us about any questions or concerns. She has great attention to detail, and she takes wonderful care of our home. She makes sure that our dog gets his daily walks and/or backyard exercise and most of all - lots of love! We definitely plan on using Sherri for future dog sitting! I highly recommend her as a dog sitter and a house sitter!!

I could not have asked for a better person to watch my pups! He provided consistent updates with photos throughout our 4 day trip, he was able to extend watching them past the agreed date due to flight mishaps. I have two very high energy dogs, that love to bark and pull during walks, I personally walk them separately. Devon was able to work on their behavior and etiquette preparing for and during walks and has consistently been able yo walk them together. On some personal thoughtful notes: Some of my orchid flowers dropped and he pressed them for me. And he even left us a welcome home note with some treats for the pups. He is such a kind and thoughtful person, never using anyone else!

Natalie sent us pics every day, took her on her walks and also have our house in perfect condition when we come home, with all sheets and towels washed and dried. Our flight was several hours late and she was able to stay longer than she planned. Always a great experience and Luna looks forward to seeing her.

About: I have over 45 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages as well as many other types of animals that have honored me with living with me over the years (cats, horses, guinea pigs, gecko, Madagascar hissing cockroach, parrots, flying squirrel, rabbits). My original dream was to become a vet so I have a background interning with veterinarian, working multiple years in a grooming and boarding facility and had my own very successful animal care and sitting business as a teenager. I have great nail trimming skills as well! Animals are naturally drawn to me and sense my love and respect for them. I work remotely so am pretty flexible with schedules. I also have taken the pet CPR course! I work remotely from home so am flexible in what I can offer. I feed my own pets multiple times a day and am able to monitor what is consumed. I also live in a beautiful community near parks for nice walks. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs who live next door who are always interested in playdates if desired. I work remotely so have flexibility in what I can offer clients. I do have a crate on premises if you do not have although I prefer (as do pets) for them to have their familiar one! There are friendly cats who live with me although I would likely gate off my kitchen / sunroom area where my office is so that I can supervise and ensure harmony with unknown pet if in my home.

About: I’ve spent my entire life around animals! From growing up in a house full of all kinds of animals and currently being a proud dog mom of 3 and snake mom of 1, to pet sitting through my teen years, to volunteering at a special needs dog sanctuary for 3 years.. there is nothing I feel more comfortable doing than hanging out with and caring for furry, scaly, or feathered friends! I am available for care all hours of the day or night weekdays and weekends! I’m happy to do late night or early mornings 😊 I want more than anything to provide everyone that trusts me with their furry babies peace of mind knowing that with me, they are genuinely safe and will always be treated like they are my very own. To say I’m a helicopter dog mom is an understatement, and I understand more than anyone the fear of unknowns when leaving your pets with a new person and I hope I can alleviate that stress from both you and your pets. From the bottom of my heart, you can trust that when your pets are with me they are in a safe space and being treated with love, care, and consideration!

About: I have a gentle approach and have crate-trained my two dogs from puppies. I will get as much out of our time together as they do! I have an open schedule which allows me to prioritize your dog’s care and well-being. I welcome the opportunity to create a lasting working relationship! I have a fenced-in backyard for open playtime and am located minutes from downtown for long walks and all the sniffs! I have two small, well-behaved dogs at home to keep your fur baby company! If your dog requires a crate, I have several sizes to accommodate their needs.

Hannah is an awesome pet sitter! She took great care of my pets while I was on vacation, which includes my dog, 2 cats, and my fish and plants. She is very kind and responsive, and I felt very comfortable having her stay with my babies. I can tell they were well taken care of while I was gone. I highly recommend Hannah as a pet sitter and will be using her again.

Kristen stayed with our 2 dogs in our home while we were away. She followed all directions, sent updates as needed and was respectful of our home. She went above and beyond to care for our dogs, treating them as if they were her own. We had no worries while Kristen was watching them and will absolutely have her watch them again!

James has been watching my dogs for years now (maybe 8-9 years), and he is absolutely phenomenal. It means so much to have a dog sitter you can truly trust, not only with your beloved pets, but also in your home. He takes wonderful care of both my dogs, one of whom is elderly, needs medication and extra attention, and requires very careful handling around other dogs and people due to reactivity. James manages their needs with so much patience, understanding, and grace. He is just amazing. I highly, highly recommend James. He’s the best!

FAQs for House Sitting - Discovery-Spring Garden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Discovery-Spring Garden on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,766 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Discovery-Spring Garden. 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 Discovery-Spring Garden 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 Discovery-Spring Garden 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 Discovery-Spring Garden 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Discovery-Spring Garden. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
