“We’ve worked with Mickayla before, and have a future housesitting scheduled as well. Mickayla is communicative, reliable, and shows great care for our dogs. We’re grateful for Mickayla!”
“Absolutely fantastic service from Samantha! She house-sat for us and took care of our dog, Dandy, for three nights. Samantha's attention to detail, responsibility, and genuine love for animals truly shone through. We came home to a very happy dog. The daily updates and photos were wonderful, keeping us reassured while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you, Samantha! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Trula was amazing. One of my pups is very nervous around new people and spends most her time hiding from or running from new people. Trula was only watching my pets for 1 night but won over Ella who played and even cuddled up for the night with Trula. I’m so excited to have Trula come stay with my fur babies for a weekend in October and November!”
“If you are looking for a pet sitter who will treat your fur babies like their own, we cannot recommend Kate enough! She watched our dogs and house while we were out of town visiting family and went above and beyond. From managing daily medications to giving endless belly rubs and love, she kept our pups happy and settled. We were able to completely focus on our time with family knowing everything at home was in the safest hands. We are so grateful for Kate and will definitely book again!”
“Elaine was great with our cat & dog! We will definitely be booking her again in the future. She was great at communicating and sending us daily updates while pet sitting for us.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and a proud dog mom to my Mini Australian Shepherd, who has taught me so much about patience, training, and providing loving care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, learning new tricks, or simply relaxing with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe pets thrive with consistency, patience, and plenty of affection. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I’ll make sure they get the exercise, attention, potty breaks, fresh water, meals, and love they deserve while you’re away. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I know how much our pets mean to us because I feel the same way about mine. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them the same care and love I’d want for my own!💜 I do have my own dog, Samson, who is a very friendly and gentle dog. He is not aggressive and is used to being around other animals. For any overnight stays or daycare, I make sure all pets have a safe, comfortable environment and that introductions are done slowly and appropriately. I always prioritize each pet’s individual needs, comfort level, and safety while they are in my care. I do have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure while their owners are away. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, and any special preferences their pet may have. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean space, plenty of attention, playtime, and opportunities to relax. My own dog, Samson, is friendly, gentle, and not aggressive, and I make sure all introductions are done slowly and safely so every pet feels comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s normal routine as much as possible. My goal is to provide dependable care, patience, and lots of love so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Erin was great with Lily and Willow while we were away. She accommodated our unexpected travel schedule and checked in to give us comfort while gone. Willow hads allergy-related paw issues and she addressed them as instructed and also noted how it progressed or lessened. Both our girls loved her and we'd have her back in a heartbeat. She watched them in our home, and the house was tidy and well cared for. Thank you, Erin!”
“Selena was awesome with my dogs and cat. She accepted the booking on short notice and was on time and professional. She provided great care for them and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and will utilize her services again. You should ask her how helpful she is around the house! 😁”
“A wonderfully relaxed and stress-free experience! It was great to not have to worry about the cat and the house while we were out of town. Myrna was absolutely terrific, thanks so much!”
“Aspen is such a great house sitter! Our pups were well taken care of and given all the overnight cuddles they needed. Thank you so much Aspen for keeping our dogs and our home safe.”
“Our dogs were so well cared for while we were away. Erika sent thoughtful updates, made sure they felt comfortable and loved, and we came home to a spotless house. It was such a relief knowing they were in great hands. We couldn’t be happier and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Maren was communicative, thorough and most importantly: loving with our pups! Daily photos/videos along with text updates ensured our time away from home was not clouded with stress and worry. I will be enthusiastically recommending her to all of our friends & family!!”
“Maleny is the best!! She follow all instructions(we left a lot of specific info) and she truly care about our cats! The attention to the details is outstanding!!! We recommend her 100%!!!!”
“Lindsey was wonderful with our two pugs, Penelope and Petunia! We came home to two very happy, very tired pups, which is always the best sign of a great time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in caring, capable hands. We’d happily trust Lindsey with our girls again!”
About: I grew up with a dog, and have always lived with either a dog or cat as an adult. My heart just fills with joy when I am around all four legged friends. I currently work full time as a pediatric medical assistant, but would be happy to come by after work to take care of any sweet dog or cat. Currently do not take care of of animals at my current residence as I am living with family who prefers to be pet free, but I am happy to come to you!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Donald
This is the third time Mickayla has stayed at my condo to care for my dog and cat while I was on vacation. She always does a stellar job, which is why I continue to rely on her when I need a pet/house sitter. She provides updates with little notes and photos, and always leaves my condo in pristine condition. She is very prompt with her communication and always keeps me informed. I highly recommend Mickayla!
Mickayla stayed at my condo to care for my dog and cat while I was out of town, and I was extremely pleased with the care she provided! She provided daily updates with photos, and followed all instructions. She left my condo spotless and even placed the laundry in the washing machine before she left. She cared for my pets and my condo as if they were her own. I am very pleased with the care she provided and will definitely book her the next time I need a sitter or drop-in service. I highly recommend Mickayla

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Donald on Rover is $79.95 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 4,345 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Donald. 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 Donald 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 Donald 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 Donald 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.
