About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 14, living with them longer. I also currently live on a farm and have good hands when it comes to working with animals! I’m a college student, home for holidays, and sometimes weekends! I have an open schedule most holidays and can come home over a weekend if needed! A safe, leash-controlled environment ensures pets enjoy outdoor activities responsibly, with supervised play, regular walks, and plenty of attention, prioritizing their comfort, health, and safety.

Ashley was great and put my mind at ease! So glad she was able to keep an eye on my babies so I could get a little vacation in. They were very well taken care of!

Michelle was absolutely amazing with my senior dog. This was my first time using such a service & she asked for specifics about things I hadn't even thought about. I highly recommend and can't imagine booking with anyone else.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats my entire life! 🐾 I’m a caring, gentle, and attentive pet sitter who respects each animal’s individual boundaries, personality, and cues. I have experience caring for my mom’s special-needs dog who has seizures, so I’m comfortable providing extra patience and attention when needed. I’m also experienced with cleaning litter boxes and pet messes. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care! ❤️ I'm currently working a full-time job but I am off on Fridays and weekends! I am planning on opening up my schedule more in the future but for now Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays I am available ! I have two cats named Grey-bob and sock! I love them so much and they even have their own decorated cat room in my house! A whole room with climbing walls, tons of scratchers and toys! My cat grey bob at night gets sleepy and comes over to me to meow to let me know he's sleepy and wants me to take him to the room where he jumps in his bed and like me to brush him before he closes his eyes and starts purring!

About: I grew up helping my parents in many dog rescue efforts, fostering, shelter volunteering, and our own adoptions! I have owned dogs of all shapes and sizes, with all different kinds of special needs tailored to them. Until recently, I lived in Northern Virginia. There, I worked at the Dogtopia of Springfield as a Canine Coach since July of last year. Here, I have gained a lot of experience in both day and overnight care. Additionally, I became Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. Now that I have moved back home, I am ready to provide my services to my home community! I currently work part-time, but this is mostly limited to the mornings (before 1:00 PM) and only 3-4 days per week. On days I do work part-time, I am up and ready to go by 5:00 AM, so early-morning jobs are no hassle when I am available! I will treat your home with upmost respect to ensure the best experience possible! I am here for your pet(s), and this will remain my #1 focus on the job.

Tina was wonderful with our puppy. He had never had a pet sitter before, and she took excellent and loving care of him, with lots of play time, exercise, and even some training. He even cried when she left! We will definitely ask her to take care of him again.

About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and personalized care I give every pet. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies who need consistency, potty breaks, playtime, and basic routine reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may need a gentler pace, extra patience, medication support, or additional comfort. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents always know their furry family members are happy and well cared for. I’m able to help out on Monday-Friday or Saturdays and Sundays. Let me know what fits your needs and I will be more then happy to accommodate! I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Especially in their own home. I do not accept boarding as my currently home is renting.

About: What sets me apart from all sitters is my deep depth for all animals. As a child, I have always developed a love for animals. My love and compassion for animals spilled over into the education field working with students with special needs. Presently, I have four rescue cats, two classroom guinea pigs, and four dogs, one of which is a rescue. I volunteer with my country's animal shelter, and I have fostered and saved many animals. My love for critters is endless. I am a teacher, so teachers do not work in the summer. However, I do work teaching summer school and a camp in June. I can work evenings and remain overnight. I have the entire month of July off. My children are grown, so my schedule is flexible. I can provide references. I live in a secluded area, so when I am home, they have free range. My dogs are leash trained. During the day when I am home, they remain in a crate. I live six minutes from work, so they arent in their crates all day. My oldest daughter lives with me, so when I am away, they are taken care of.

Ada house sat my dog who was both diabetic and recovering from bronchitis which required shots and other medications twice a day. She not only cared for MMO’s medical needs but provided emotional support for him in my absence. She sent pictures and conducted a River video chat with me to ensure not only Momo’s emotional support but for mine as well. I felt confident my beloved pet was in good hands.

Peyton took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away! One of our dogs is diabetic and requires oral medication and insulin injections twice a day, and she handled his care with confidence. She went above and beyond trying to get him to eat when he was being stubborn. We came home to two happy, well cared for dogs and would absolutely book with Peyton again. Highly recommend!

About: New to Rover, but experienced 5-star house sitters on TrustedHousesitters. My husband Mikhail and I are a married couple based in Charlottesville. I teach high school math online, and Mikhail holds a PhD in Materials Science. We have flexible schedules and spend much of our time at home, which means pets in our care receive plenty of companionship, attention, and consistency throughout the day. Over the past year, we have completed successful house sits in multiple cities, caring for both cats and dogs while homeowners traveled. We have received wonderful reviews for our reliability, communication, and the care we provide to pets and homes. We are happy to share screenshots of our TrustedHousesitters reviews and references. One thing previous hosts often mention is how much attention we give their pets. We genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a cat who wants to sit on a lap all afternoon, a playful kitten who wants constant company, or a dog who loves walks and outdoor adventures, we adapt to their needs. We also understand that owners miss their pets while traveling. That’s why we provide regular updates and photos so you can relax and enjoy your trip knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. We treat every home with the same care and respect we would want for our own, and our goal is simple: to make your time away completely worry-free. I teach high school math online and currently have a very flexible schedule, especially during the summer. My husband, Mikhail, is currently focusing on pet sitting full-time. Because of this, there is almost always someone at home to provide companionship, attention, walks, potty breaks, and care throughout the day. We are able to easily accommodate feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication schedules, and other pet-specific needs. Pets in our care are rarely left alone for extended periods of time. For house sitting, we believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their own home and maintain their normal routine. We take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and personality so we can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. We follow feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. We spend a lot of time at home, so pets receive plenty of companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We also understand how important communication is while you’re away. We provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing and enjoy your trip with peace of mind. In addition to caring for pets, we treat every home with respect and care, keeping it clean, secure, and well maintained while its owners are away.

About: I love all animals! I believe animals can sense energy, and animals always respond well to my presence because I am patient. I grew up on a farm so horses, dogs, cats, birds. My pets live like kings 😂 I work remotely so my schedule is flexible. Over night stays are fine. I work remotely and have hot spot so my schedule is flexible. I am available 7AM-3PM (depending on area). Fridays/Saturdays available all day. I would prefer pet sitting at the pet’s home to ensure they feel comfortable, low stress. Evenings I can stay extended amounts of times as long as y’all don’t mind me working remotely on my hot spot at the home. Outside/feeding schedules will be no problem because my work is flexible.

FAQs for House Sitting - Farmville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Farmville on Rover is $24.42 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 42 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Farmville. 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 Farmville 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 Farmville 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 Farmville 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
