“Isa was great staying with our 2 dogs for 2 night. She kept us well updated and sent lots of photos. One of our rescues has special behavioral needs where strangers can't pet him, and Isa definitely made him comfortable and he warmed up to her immediately. She took good care of the house as well and followed all of our instructions. We recommend Isa!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our dog sitter! She went above and beyond to care for our pups and our home, especially when we faced unexpected travel delays due to weather. Her flexibility and great communication gave us so much peace of mind during a stressful situation. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which showed just how well our pups were doing in her care. The house was in perfect condition when we returned, and we’re so grateful for her professionalism and kindness. Highly recommend!”
“McKenna did an excellent job with our high-energy Aussie, who can be a bit anxious sometimes. She was super communicative, punctual, and shared lots of photos and updates. This was the first time we left him overnight with someone other than family, and it was great to know he was in good hands with McKenna. She also left our house as clean, if not cleaner, than it was before. Excited to work with her again soon!”
“Kaitlin was a wonderful sitter for Harry, who loves her and now thinks she’s part of our “pack”! She was considerate and careful with our home, which she treated with care. We would highly recommend her to anyone who wanted a great in-home pet sitter!”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with our sweet big boy for 10 days while we were out of town. Our guy has newly started having seizures and while we hoped he wouldn’t have one while we were gone he ended up having 4. Michael was not experienced beforehand with sitting with dogs who have seizures but made sure to ask all the questions before hand to make sure he knew what to do. And thankfully he did. He even ended up giving our guy a rectal suppository after the regular medications were not working sufficiently and stayed with him until we were home to ensure a safe handoff. To top it off he also checked in with us later to see how Moko was doing. We could not recommend him more. Thank you again Michael!”
“Seth did a fantastic job house sitting and taking care of my 11 month old Golden. He was punctual, responsive, caring and knowledgeable. Maverick was in very capable hands which gave me peace of mind and the opportunity to really enjoy my time away. Highly recommend. I would give him more than 6 out of 5 stars!”
“Michelle was very gracious and kind to come last minute when my mom had an unexpected hospital stay. She was flexible and understanding when my mom had a crisis and my husband was delayed getting back home. Her kindness and affection with our boy Sherlock was wonderful!”
“I am so thankful to have Eyowyn care for my dogs. It was the first time leaving my Velcro pets. She worked patiently with us when we had last minute changes. She was able to calm them and they enjoyed her visits. Her confidence in being able to handle the situation allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I am so happy she will be in the area for another year!”
“Kathrine was wonderful with our 3 fur kiddos! She sent photos and 2-3 updates per day. We are very happy with her overnight sitter option and will certainly hire her again.”
“Hieu and Anna are simply amazing pet sitters. One of our dogs needs special handling while walking in the neighborhood and they were able to handle her - even going on longer than usual walks! They sent us multiple pictures and updates daily, showing the amazing care they were giving our babies. They also were flexible when our travel plans needed to change unexpectedly and stayed an entire extra DAY while we worked on getting home. I definitely recommend them and will rebook again! Rosie and Zoey love their aunties!”
“We had our first house sitting with Tara and she took great care of our boy and home. As was the case with day care, she was very communicative both prior to the stay to clarify his routine and during the sitting. We sincerely appreciated all of the fun and personalized updates that brought many laughs while we were away and the small gifts she left for us. It is clear Tara cares very much about her work, and she is undoubtedly one of the best sitters we’ve worked with. We recommend her without reservation for any Rover services.”
“Absolutely fabulous! She is an outstanding communicator, sent tons of pictures, and took great care of an old dog and a neurotic one. 10000% would recommend and use again! 💕”
“Anne was great! She stayed two nights with our Lab, and she was very communicative and just generally on top of things. She was very careful with him with the extreme heat and gave him frequent but short breaks outside. She asked good questions and was very attentive to his needs and his routines. She also went above and beyond and voluntarily returned to walk him one more time before she left town. We would absolutely recommend Anne, and will absolutely try to book her again in the future.”
About: Ever since I was little I've always been around animals, watching over both family and friend's pets. I've watched and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes from small to large and young to old. I am also not a stranger to dogs with special needs; such examples as blindness, anxiety and separation anxiety. I am currently going to High School but anytime after 4:00PM on weekdays work for me. My weekends are completely free so any time can work. Currently my house is not suitable for any pets as my landlord does not allow any, so I am only offering my dog walking services, check in visits and overnight stays.
“Livia was great!! She was able to come to our house for a meet and greet a few days before our last minute trip away on a holiday weekend. She was timely, flexible with our schedules, and comfortable with our four dogs and one cat. She gave us consistent updates and photos, which were super appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Livia again to pet sit our furballs. Thanks Livia!”
“Will took amazing care of our pup, Finley, over the holiday weekend and made the entire experience completely stress-free. He was communicative, flexible, attentive, and clearly genuine in the way he cared for Finley, treating him with so much love and patience. We really appreciated the consistent updates and coming home to both a happy dog and a clean house. Will went above and beyond in every way, and we would gladly trust him again for any future sitting needs. Thank you once again, Will!”

Gabriella took care of my golden doodle for a long July 4 holiday weekend from Thursday afternoon through Sunday afternoon. She did a fantastic job! I received updates and pictures once or twice a day, which completely put my mind at ease while I was away. She administered medicine to help my furbaby’s anxiety from fireworks as requested and made sure my baby was calm and safe through the fireworks. It’s always tough leaving your pet over a busy holiday, but Gabriella was incredibly reliable, communicative, and attentive. I highly recommend her. She will not disappoint.
Charlotte has been absolutely wonderful with our dog! She walks our dog weekly and has also stayed in our home while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Thank you for everything, Charlotte—we’re so grateful and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker!
Anna did a wonderful job looking after our slightly neurotic Bernedoodle and newly adopted cat for several weeks. She sent us lots of picture updates and managed to get our picky dog to eat without issue. She left the house just as clean if not cleaner than when she came. I would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!
I can't say enough about Zena! She's an amazing sitter and such a sweet person to work with. I was very timid about leaving my fur baby for 2 weeks and she was constantly in contact and took care of my home while I was away. She also brought toys and took extra care to make sure my fur baby was cared for in the most beneficial ways! I recommend her for anyone who needs that added level of comfort and just general niceness!
Lauren was an excellent house sitter! She sent us fun updates of Luke and Buttercup every day! Her compassion and dedication to our dogs made us feel as we left our fur babies with family! We would highly recommend her for any future dog families that need a fun and caring dog walker!
Batel stayed with our 2 year old American Bully for a week while we were away on vacation and she was great!! We were apprehensive about using Rover just because of some stories we have heard in the past, but Batel was very responsible and trustworthy and put us at ease while we were gone. She was super responsive and good at communicating, sent updates and pictures daily, and even stayed an extra day when we decided to stay at the beach longer. We would definitely recommend Batel and will be booking with her in the future again!
Josie was great, it had been a while since our dogs spent time with her, but they immediately remembered her and warmed up to her, Josie is very responsible and took great care of our dogs and our home while we were gone. Looking forward to having her dog sit again in the near future.
Dionisia was very attentive to my pup's (Charlie) needs, even when she had an unexpected responsibility elsewhere. Charlie who is quite timid, took to her rather fast, which is saying a lot. Unfortunately, Charlie developed a stomach issue which required to be let out several times throughout the night. Dionisia was a champ, taking care of her! I would not hesitate to utilize Dionisia for future visits.
Nikki and Johnny really hit it off during their meet and greet. He as so excited and happy to see Nikki when she arrived to stay with him. He went right out and wanted to play ball with her and he seemed very happy to be with her. We got great pictures and information from Nikki while we were gone. Everything went very well.

FAQs for House Sitting - Donovans Corner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Donovans Corner on Rover is $94.35 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 9,804 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Donovans Corner. 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 Donovans Corner 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 Donovans Corner 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 Donovans Corner 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.

- 96% 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.
