“Debra was perfect! Our boys loved being at home & she stayed with them. We loved the photos everyday and the updates she would send. We would have Debra stay again & again!”
“Best rover we have ever had. We have two older dogs with some incompetency problems and when we got home, everything was super clean. The dogs were super relaxed and happy and she even left on jazz music for them to chill too when we got home. 10/10 no notes she’s amazing”
“Susan was great. She was happy to meet our 1 year old German Shepard and they immediately got along and started playing fetch. Happy dog and a clean house when we can home. Thanks Susan.”
“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 dog Moby loved having Larissa take care of him. We really appreciate that Larissa was able to watch Moby in our home on a very short notice. Larissa left the house in perfect condition and we would certainly use her services again.”
“Kara saved the day for us. We had a family member set to watch our pets and they fell ill. Very last minute, she was able to swoop in and take on my crew. She did a wonderful job with them! Everything was as it was when we left, if not better! The dogs were well loved and so were our guinea pigs. I’ve had sitters in the past that leave the dogs in their crates for long hours and she never did that. She even stayed later to be sure they didn’t have to be alone long. We already have her booked to use her again in October, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you Kara!”
“Cathy did a great job of watching Ollie for me while I was away at work. She made sure to keep me updated throughout the day with pictures. She also made sure to give him lots of walks and lots of cuddles and kept him happy. She is quick to respond as well which is awesome. I would definitely recommend her for your pup :)”
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.
“Filip watched my dog Tula for 10 days while I was out of town. He left the house clean, shoveled a ton of snow, and most importantly, took excellent care of my girl! Would definitely recommend Filip for your pet care needs. :)”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“This was the second time Eni has watched our two dogs and stayed at the house while we were away. She does a fantastic job along with excellent communication. We receive pictures of the pups and updates throughout the day. We highly recommend her and will continue to use her in the future.”
“Natasha was amazing and took great care of our two dogs during our vacation. We enjoyed the message updates with pictures. Our dogs had a great time with her. I would highly recommend her.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Edgeville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 987 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Edgeville. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
