“Isa was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Finley. She was attentive and clearly took the time to understand his routine and personality during her stay with him at our home. Finley can be a bit particular at times, but Isa handled everything so naturally and made sure he was comfortable, well cared for, and happy throughout the day. We really appreciated how thoughtful and communicative she was, and it meant a lot to know he was getting so much attention and care.”
“John was fantastic! He came and met the dogs prior to staying with them for the weekend - they loved him. He was great with them, kept them exercised and entertained, and couldn’t have been more accommodating.I would book him again and don’t hesitate to trust my furry babies with him. 🐶😊🐶”
“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!”
““Gabriela did a fantastic job taking care of our 12-year-old Shih Tzu, Daisy! She is very kind, loving and detail oriented-just what we needed when leaving our senior fur baby! We loved the photos she sent—they really put our minds at ease. When we returned, the house was impeccable and Daisy was a happy camper! Gabriela is a wonderful sitter, and we will definitely hire her again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout our time away, which gave us real peace of mind. We loved receiving daily photos and updates, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. She also left our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. We’re very grateful for her care and would happily book with her again.”
“A huge thank you to Deborah for staying with our two dogs while we were out of town. She took wonderful care of them, and gave me plenty of updates. She even dressed them up and took Halloween pictures with them! We appreciate it so much. It was so great to be able to travel and not worry about our fur babies at all.”
“David did a great job taking care of our 14 year old Shiba for a long weekend. This was our first time using a dog sitter, and therefore we were very nervous about leaving her with a stranger. But she was comfortable with David immediately, and David was super communicative while we were away, so we were always assured that things were going well. When we returned home the house was in perfect order, and our dog was well cared for. We would definitely use David again.”
About: As fellow rover users we understand just how important it is to find the right fit for your fur baby! We’re both avid dog lovers who would love to drop in to make your day easier. We have both owned both large and small breeds our whole lives and are now the proud dog parents of two German shepherds. We have experience with medication administration, dietary restrictions, and reactivity. Jordan works full time as a pediatric nurse so has several days off a week and Guiness works full time Tues-Fri. We have morning availability from 7-1pm and evening from 7:30-10pm. And full availability Monday, Saturday, and Sunday. We do not currently offer in home services but are happy to come to you. We enjoy playing with dogs and letting them out of their crate to stretch their legs, walking, potty breaks, mealtime, and general enrichment.
“Melissa was great and Rocky loved her! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous but Melissa eased my mind. Not being used to “strangers” staying with him, Rocky had some separation anxiety. Melissa was very straightforward about it and kept me updated the whole time. I made some suggestions and she tried them all. I would love to have Melissa stay with Rocky again if she’s interested.”
“Ray stayed with our dog while we were out of town for 5 days. I didn’t worry about a thing - Ray made sure our high-energy dog got lots of walks and playtime. We came back to a happy pup and clean house.”
“Tara did a great job staying at our house over the weekend and taking care of our dog (Penzey) and our three cats (Spot, Dusty, and Oboe). The house was as we left it, and the animals were all well cared for. Tara did a great job communicating with us. We will definitely use her again.”
“Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!”
“Patricha was absolutely amazing! She stayed with our dog and house sat for us for several days. We have a very temperamental golden doodle, who can be a bit particular about her food and a bit attention-needy. Not only that, but our pup was also taking medication during our time away. Patricha was very communicative, attentive, and kind. She was also respectful of our home. We felt very comfortable, leaving our pup in her care which meant we were able to truly relax on our vacation. We will absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Graciela watched Daisy in my house for two weeks, and sent many photos of them going on walks and playing with toys. I am grateful for the care Daisy received while I was away”
“Amani was the first dog sitter I used from Rover. Overall, she was good and could use some improvements. Came back from my vacation to my house and dog like I left it. When I messaged her, she messaged me back within reasonable times. She sent me photos and updates upon request. She washed the bedding I gave her before she left. She met me timely for the meet and greet and also the day she started dog sitting. I stepped on the dining room rug and it was wet. My dog had an accident and she did not inform me until I messaged her to ask. My dog’s water bowl was empty when I came back. She used the leash on the collar instead of using the harness as I advised her to and I identified that from a photo. She did not send me updates 2x per day as I advised her to during the meet and greet until I asked her again a couple of days later.”
“Kaylee was absolutely wonderful with my two teacup pups! From the moment I met her, we felt completely at ease knowing our babies were in such caring and capable hands. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. Kaylee kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dogs and treated them like her own. When I returned home, our pups were relaxed, happy, and clearly loved. My home was also well taken care of, and everything was exactly as I left it. I couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter. I highly recommend Kaylee to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate sitter. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Ella was responsible and had great communication. She fed the dogs when asked and cleaned up after them. She kept the house neat and tidy. The dogs were lucky to have her.”

Amanda did a great job caring for our pups! She asked questions and was diligent in keeping them on their usual routine. Amanda also had good communication before and during her stay. We have already booked Amanda again as we are confident she will take excellent care of our dogs.
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 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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Donovans Corner is $94 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $83 and $107 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Donovans Corner. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
