“Once again Isa was a wonderful sitter. Always kept me in the loop with my baby Frida. She arrive on time and accommodated her time when my flight was changed to a later time.”
“We recently booked Alexis for pet sitting for the first time, and had a great experience. At the meet-and-greet, she was patient and understanding while we did exercises prescribed by our dog’s personal trainer to properly introduce him to guests in the house, as he is initially very fearful of new people. I could tell by the way Alexis spoke about her own pets and past client pets, that she is very patient and accommodating in order to cater to each individual pet. She followed our care guide to a tee and sent nice pictures and updates of our dog and 2 cats. We felt very comfortable that our pets were being well taken care of. A bonus was, she stayed to clean, running the dishwasher and taking out the trash before departing so we came home to a clean house. We are glad to have found Alexis and certainly will request her for future pet sitting needs.”
“Mia was great with Bodie! She was punctual, communicative, and sent me lots of photos. I appreciated her following detailed instructions for Bodie’s morning routine; she out my mind at ease. Thank you, Mia! 😊”
“I had a last minute work request, and Elizabeth came through at a short notice and was fantastic! She is very well versed with adjusting to puppies and different breeds, and my Juni was more than happy to have Elizabeth. She sent detailed updates- which I more than appreciated as it helped calm down my nerves throughout my time away. I am so pleased with how flexible and accommodating Elizabeth has been (especially as this is my first time using Rover) and would highly recommend her for your pets!”
“Amie was such a pleasure to work with! She was patient, responsive, and timely in her communication, and provided wonderful daily updates. She also takes the best pictures! Murphy is typically shy and takes time to warm up to new people, but from the moment she met Amie, she seemed comfortable around her and even flopped over for her! That comfort only seemed to grow throughout the stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and content cat and would happily book with Amie again!”
“David was great! We had a wonderful experience. He took care of my dogs for 10 days and did a fabulous job. He took them for walks, played with them, put them to bed and made sure they got their meals on time. My boys were happy when I got home. I can highly recommend David!”
“Another great experience, with lots of pictures and updates throughout the week! The pups seem really comfortable and happy with Tara which is very comforting. Would definitely recommend and book again if needed.”
“Deborah watched our dogs and cats over the 4th of July. She was absolutely amazing our fur babies loved her and all the attention she gave them! I loved that she kept us updated with photos and updated the entire weekend. Deborah is a rare fine and we came home to super happy fur babies which made our vacation so much more enjoyable we are are soo happy !!! Thank you ! SHE IS THE BEST!”
“Highly recommend Charles for pet sitting. Our dog warmed up to him immediately and he did the same to her. He is responsible, kind, caring and understanding. He helped us out by staying an extra day when our flight was canceled and that gave us the peace of mind we needed to get back home sooner. We are happy we were able to find him and look forward to working with him again!”
“Rosie did a fantastic job watching our dog, Janie, for a couple of hours! She was punctual, friendly, and made us feel confident that Janie was in great hands. When we got home, Janie was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We really appreciated Rosie’s attentiveness and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. We’d absolutely book with Rosie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
“Carson was wonderful with my 2 cats! He sent pictures for updates and even dealt with a spontaneous hairball ? one of my cats was not happy about Carson but Carson continued to let him get comfortable and finally sent pictures of my cat hanging out on his lap!”
“Lorene was wonderful with my boys. She was conscientious about making sure they did not get into trouble while in the backyard as they like to hunt for critters. She said that both of them were perfect gentleman and wonderful Snugglers. They also were very easy when administering their eyedrop’s and other meds. So happy we found Lorene and will be using her again.”
“Another great time having Kaylee house/dog sit for my two little pups. Couldn’t ask for a more caring and trustworthy individual to leave my home and dogs in the care of. Thank you, Kaylee!”
“Sophia was an amazing Rover! She kept us updated the whole time and seriously spoiled Roxie while we were gone! Is was so nice knowing our dog was in good hands the whole time we were gone:)”
“What an incredible pet sitter! I got multiple photos and updates, and she even brushed my dog! Both he and my home looked great when I returned. Elisabeth asked great questions when I met her and wanted to keep his routine consistent while I was gone. I look forward to working with her again real soon.”

Nayeli was wonderful with Ferrari and Aston! She was caring, attentive, and very thoughtful about their individual needs and routines. I truly appreciated the care and attention she gave them, as well as the peace of mind she provided while I was away. I especially appreciated her communication throughout the stay. It was wonderful to be kept abreast of the pups’ daily activities and to receive videos of their interactions, which allowed me to see how they were doing and enjoy little moments with them even while I was away. I also really valued being kept informed of any changes in their routine or activities, especially if either pup wasn’t feeling well or experienced anything unusual, such as an upset stomach or diarrhea. That kind of communication means a lot to me because I want to make sure they are comfortable and well cared for at all times. Nayeli was respectful of their routines and my instructions, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about Ferrari and Aston and wanted them to feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely be happy to have her care for the pups again. I would definitely recommend Nayeli to other pet parents looking for someone caring, responsible, communicative, and dependable.
We are so glad we found Jordan through Rover! He came to the house to meet the girls and asked all of the right questions anbout their care and was very comfortable with them. He stayed at the house and sent us pictures of the pups playing and hanging with him which I just loved! We highly recommend Jordan to care for your pets.

We had a wonderful experience with Vaneeza dog sitting with our Walnut! She cared for Wally over three days with three visits each day, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care provided. Communication was excellent, and Vaneeza was always responsive and reliable. Most importantly, our furry Walnut seemed to absolutely loved her! We felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in such great hands. Highly recommend!
I booked Sharon last minute for a holiday weekend and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating to be able to look after my cats. Her communication was clear and prompt, and I felt completely at ease while I was away. She showed genuine care and attention, and I came home to two happy, well-looked after cats. She was reliable, kind, and professional. I will absolutely book with Sharon again! Thank you!
Zena was absolutely wonderful! We had to find a new house sitter and dog walker at the last minute after our original sitter canceled just a few days before our trip, and we couldn't have been happier that we found her. She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the week with frequent texts and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy and well cared for. When we returned home, the house was spotless. Honestly, you would never have known someone had been staying there. We are so grateful for everything she did and wouldn't hesitate to book Zena again. Highly recommend!
This is my third trip booking Misa for house-sitting this year and, as always, she was great! She sent photos and notes of my pup, left the house in great condition, and best of all, I know that I don't need to worry about my pet when I'm on travel because she's in the bestest hands! Highly recommend Misa for watching your pups or kitties!
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!
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!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Donovans Corner is $94 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $83 and $111 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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.
