“Danielle was great! She stayed with my two dogs for the night. She was very flexible with her schedule and great with the dogs. Maria and Stella were very happy when we got home, which is great because my older dog used to get stressed out when she was boarded. She was very good with all the instructions I left, and I will definitely use Danielle in the future!”
About: Hi, I'm Joseph! I'm an experienced property and estate management professional with a background caring for luxury homes, ranch properties, and the people and animals who call them home. Throughout my career, I've been trusted with the care and security of private residences, including large Colorado ranch properties and waterfront estates in Florida. My work has involved maintaining beautiful homes and grounds, caring for animals and their surroundings, coordinating vendors, and ensuring that everything runs smoothly while owners are away. I understand that your pets aren't just pets, they're family. I believe they deserve the same attention, patience, affection, and respect that I would want for my own animals. I currently have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pet sitting needs wether it be last minute plans or a long term vacation. I am available for day visits, quick walks and bathroom breaks or extended overnight stays. I have over 5 years of professional experience in private staffing and service working in homes and properties for high net worth clients. Within these roles I've care for many domestic pets including feeding, exercising, grooming, and administering medicine. I grew up with dogs and cats all my love and have a natural life long affinity to animals. I treat them all with pro active attentiveness and compassion.
“Amy was great! Was super flexible with timing and took great care of Aphra. Aphra usually has bad separation anxiety when I leave but apparently calmed right down with Amy :) Would definitely recommend, thank you Amy!”
“Simply put, Leah might’ve been the most communicative, thoughtful and caring petsitter we’ve ever had. During the busy holiday season, she kept our pet company and made sure we had all the latest updates and photos to prove it. Will most definitely be calling her again… and you should too!”
“Scarlet was very attentive to the needs of our pets, sending pictures and updates. She left the house clean, started the dishwasher, and washed the sheets that were on the bed. We will definitely use her again.”
“Claire is an exceptional pet sitter! She was punctual, attentive, and my dog absolutely adores her. I was impressed by her reliability and professionalism. I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Sophia did a great job with both of our boys. We loved receiving the photos throughout her stay. When getting home, our dogs were noticeably relaxed and happy. We will definitely be using Sophia in the future!”
“Peyton was awesome! She did a fabulous job with our dogs who can be a little finicky with new people. She left our house in wonderful condition and was very communicative, giving us plenty of updates! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great house sitter for their pups!”
“Emily was wonderful! Our dog has lots of little quirks and can require lots of energy from a dog sitter. Emily did great with him. We’re so grateful to have found someone that can cater to his needs and stay in our home. Would absolutely recommend Emily!”
“This is the second time we have had Kaya watch our poodle, she was very relaxed when we got home, and house was as we left better than we left it. Would have her watch Anya again.”
“Kaylin took care of our big fluffy guy for a long weekend and we couldn’t have been happier! Leo was exercised to the fullest every day and we loved all the picture updates :) our home was in perfect condition when we came home. We will definitely be using Kaylin again in the future!”
“Chris was wonderful. She responded quickly to our initial request and was very easy to communicate with. She gave us confidence that she would be a good match for our dog who can be a bit timid at times. Chris stayed in our home and we felt very confident having her stay over. Would highly recommend Chris.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Autumn watching our dog, Bandit. We came home to a clean & tidy place plus one happy pup. We appreciated receiving pictures, reassuring that bandit was having a great time and looked content. We would absolutely recommend Autumn’s services and look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Matt was absolutely fantastic! He took excellent care of my pup and my home. Frannie had such a great time going on walks, getting lots of pets and loving, and snacking on some tasty treats. I will absolutely be booking again with Matt in the future.”
“This was my first time using Erika and she was great! She was very communicative and asked clarifying questions, as Ginger was anxious from the wind and unknown reasons. Erika is very caring and I can tell she loves animals. Ginger was happy and healthy when I came home and my house was clean and well cared for!”
“Rory was fantastic! 11ish days with my temperamental chi and his 4 kitties... I will definitely be keeping her on my shortlist for future trips! Rory sent pics and videos during my trip to help ease my anxiety of being away from the babies. I can tell my brood had a good experience!”
“Nicole was fantastic! After reading her bio and seeing her credentials we knew we were in good hands. She is incredibly communicative and sent us lots of photos. The apartment was left in amazing condition which is such a relief after getting back from a week-long trip. She took the time to come and meet our Louie first and was very attentive about following his schedule to ensure he was comfortable while we were away. We couldn’t have found a better option for our pet-sitting needs and will definitely be using her again :)”
“Highly recommend Thora! She took such good care of Bree and kept us updated with photos the whole time. She’s super reliable, always responds to texts fast, and even gave Bree some extra long walks. Will definitely book her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Drake on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,343 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Drake. 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 Drake 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 Drake 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 Drake 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.

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

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.
