“Debra did a Great job with our Oscar, she made me feel at ease leaving him in her care at our house. Also leaving him for the 1st time after being diagnosed with diabetes, Debra did an awesome job with his injections, his routine and text updates and photos. Definitely will be asking for her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Marianna, a lifelong animal lover offering drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight stays for both dogs and cats. Animals are truly part of my family. I share my home with my amazing Golden Lab, Phoebe, who is incredibly well-behaved, gentle, and adventurous — she goes paddle boarding, loves the water, and is even a diver! Phoebe is a Theraphy dog . She is a calm, confident, and friendly role model for other dogs. We also have two wonderful cats: Pharaoh (Abyssinian) and Phoenix (Scottish Fold). They are very social, affectionate, and used to being around dogs, so our home is a peaceful, happy, and interactive environment for all pets. I’m certified in Pet First Aid & CPR for both cats and dogs, so your pet’s safety is always a top priority. In addition to loving care, I also offer support with behavioral training and confidence building. I’ve personally trained my own 2.5-year-old pup to a very high level of obedience, and I enjoy helping other dogs feel calm, safe, and well-mannered. Our home features a fenced yard, a swimming pool (with supervision), and plenty of space to play, rest, and relax in a loving, low-stress environment. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, play, swim, or simply nap in the sun, they will feel right at home here. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and respect. I would be honored to care for your furry family while you’re away 🐶🐱💛 Ps . For safety, any signs of prey drive toward cats (staring, lunging, chasing) will result in immediate separation or early pick-up. That’s why Meet and Greet is a MUST for me. I keep a flexible schedule so your pet receives calm, unhurried attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-ins on both weekdays and weekends, and I intentionally limit how many pets I take (1-2 great pets at a time ONLY) to ensure each one feels safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my home with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. Dogs are always monitored, kept on routine, and can be crated if needed. I follow owner instructions closely, prioritize cleanliness, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for like family.
“Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!”


“Jacqueline stayed overnight with my two cats. From our first contact she was so prompt answering messages. I’ve had other sitters and she is one of the few who actually showed up on time and was there when she said she would be. I returned to find my house in tiptop shape. I highly recommend her. She’s a real sweetheart!”
“Our 12 and 19 year old boys never even noticed we were gone! Eni stayed with them in our home while we were away. She was in touch with us about walk, poop, meal and medications in addition to the pictures she sent. We recommend Eni and hope to use her service again.”

“Philip was awesome. He was an excellent communicator while we were away. He handled our four dogs and two cats seamlessly. It was such a relief to come home and have such content and happy dogs and cats. He also left the house extremely clean which I really appreciate. I have high expectations and I was very happy with Phillip’s service.”

About: I’ve taken care of and had dogs my whole life. I’m the first person my friends and family go to when they need dog care. I’ve been a sitter for many people for many years. Animals have been my passion for many years. I work in the evenings so I have the free time to look after your precious pups. I am willing to travel as far as you need to make sure you have no worries while you’re gone. I live on 5 acres of fenced in yard to have plenty of space for your fur babies. I also have two sweet pups if your puppy wants friends. I have the ability to crate your babies if you prefer that aswell.
“Morgan was an awesome resource to pull together care for my two large Labs, Maggie and Chubbs. I was sent text and picture feedback every day. Upon returning home, clearly the dogs were happy and content, and my guess is would’ve preferred to see their nanny’s come through the door rather than me! 😂 Always great service and support from Rover and caregivers. I highly recommend!”


“Bailey was amazing with our dog, Murphy! He stayed with him for 4 nights and sent daily pictures and updates. We arrived home and the house was cleaner than we left it! Highly recommend!”

About: I love all animals. I only accept one family at a time. I do not mix several animals boarding at the same time. I always have been working in the field since high school. I participated in a veterinarian school program continued on from there after graduation . I have been a vet technician for sometime amongst many other services. I volunteered out of the country for several years during rescue missions in the Caribbean islands as well. Wherever I am, I volunteer at the Humane Society. I am also an excellent Groomer for standards poodles. I have availability and I love to be of service.. I'm also available last minute. I have a large fenced in backyard and I will be home. I enjoy caring for your fur baby. I am always with the dog playing ball playing with toys a little training always conversing. Of course your babies allowed on the furniture and couch if you request. Keeps me company. I love what I do. I can meet all your requests. I have a large fenced in yard. if you prefer crate that’s optional . I'm open and available. I give them the unconditional love and attention that they need. I enjoy taking care of animals. I have plenty of references just ask.
“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”

About: I have always had large dogs around me all my life. As soon as I turned 18 I found my first shelter dog - a Husky! I fell in love with the breed and homed and loved 5 huskies since. I watch my neighbors Australian Shepherds' and Samoyed for years when they go out of town at my home with my own dogs. My pet care experience comes with just a true love dogs and having them around all my life. I work for the school system so my hours are fair to help with your needs. I'm also available for weekends and most holidays. I will also have more time in the summer to play with your fur babies. I can accommodate much of your needs for you dog(s). Whether at my home with a large fenced in yard plus my 10 year old husky looking for playmates or in the comfort of your fur babies own home.
About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and exotics for many years. Well versed in pet care for any breed and kind of animal. Big fan and friend of all pets alike. I am a part time cosmetologist! I spend 6 hours of my day at the salon and come home to spend the rest of my time with your pets. I have a very friendly but shy chihuahua who would be separated from your furry friend in my home. I can uphold any rules you may follow in your own home for your pets as need be.
“McKenna and Kelly took such good care of my babies and gave them so much attention. They sent lots of pictures and updates. I was able to have piece of mind on my trip knowing they were so well cared for. I can’t thank them enough and will definitely keep them in mind for the future!”

“John was the epitome of patience, kindness and caring for our senior boy. He did EVERYTHING possible to make our old man feel loved and safe. He slept on the his dog bed with him, played calming music for hours on end, gave him all the meds/blankets/pillows he needed. He changed his diapers, gave him a bath and treated Sampson like he was his own. There really aren’t words to convey how unbelievably loving and kind John was, but I’ll say this: we have a doggy camera in the house to make sure our boy hasn’t fallen and hurt himself (he’s very old and he falls now). Every time I would check the camera, John was sitting right next to our dog: talking to him, petting him and asking him what he needed. This guy is the real deal and absolutely adores animals. I wouldn’t hesitate for 1 second to have him as our sitter again.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life. I love all animals but dogs are my passion. I am a professional dog groomer and I have trained many dogs. Im currently working part time so I have plenty of free time throughout the day and night to spend with your pups!! Im also free the entire weekend! I have a fenced in yard and a 1 year old doodle myself that loves to play. I let the dogs free roam throughout the house.
“Susan is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of our boys and truly knows their personalities. We love how she sends daily updates and photos. It gives us total peace of mind while we’re away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Edgeville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,008 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Edgeville. 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 Edgeville 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 Edgeville 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 Edgeville 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.
