“We loved having Tiffany as our house sitter while on vacation this past week! She is always so attentive to our pups and makes a huge effort to care for them when we are gone. I love when she texts us pictures to show how they are doing. We love Tiffany!”

“Erica was prompt with all communication and I’m pretty sure my home is cleaner than I left it. I appreciated her frequent updates, especially considering our dog can be a handful. I’m glad to have found a trustworthy sitter who is willing to care for our pet in our own home. We’ve already booked her again!”

“Aubrianna has watched our older pup several times before but this was our first time leaving both him and our 3.5 month old puppy with anyone. Both dogs were so happy when we got home and the house was spotless. She did a great job following our suggestions with the puppy and was so attentive! We will continue to use her for all future needs :)”

“I recently hired Dominique as a dog sitter for the first time, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the moment we met, Dominique exuded professionalism and warmth, which instantly put my mind at ease. She was incredibly attentive to my dogs’ needs and took the time to understand their personalities and quirks. I loved receiving regular updates and photos throughout her stay, which not only reassured me but also showed how much she cared for my pets. Dominique went above and beyond to ensure that my dogs were happy and comfortable, and it was clear they adored her. If you're looking for a reliable and friendly dog sitter, I highly recommend Dominique! She's truly a gem, and I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you, Dominique, for taking such great care of my furry babies!”

“Fantastic dog sitter! Great communication, reliable, and very caring. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of, and we loved receiving updates while we were away. Highly recommend and will definitely use their services again! Thank you Deloris!”

“Christopher was fantastic. He helped us with so much more than just our pets after just moving to the area. He was extremely accommodating of our last minute request, and kept us updated throughout the stay. Glad to have found him.”

“Elizabeth was great! She was flexible in willing to meet us and our pets in person. She also sent us updates while we were away and never complained about Dia once, even though Dia is sometimes difficult to motivate to go outside. Elizabeth even took our trash out for us, which was a bonus favor that was not requested or expected! We will definitely be booking her again.”


“Ashely’s communication was AMAZING! She sent pictures often and very knowledgeable in dog parenting needs. I was very anxious leaving and she made me feel SO much better and I was able to relax knowing my dog was well taken care of .”

“Melissa was absolutely exceptional with our two senior dogs and puppy — we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was remarkably polite and communicative, keeping us updated throughout with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos so we always felt connected to our pets. She took outstanding care of both our animals and our home, and we were genuinely touched to return to a house that was in even better shape than we’d left it. That kind of initiative and attention to detail is rare and truly appreciated. What stood out most was how she handled an unexpected situation when our puppy fell ill during the stay. Without hesitation, Melissa took her to the emergency vet and stayed by her side until we returned home. Her calm, compassionate response made all the difference — our puppy recovered quickly and is doing wonderfully. Melissa has earned our complete trust and will be our absolute first call every time we need a pet sitter. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own.”
“Paige was amazing with our dogs! She sent us tons of pictures and was in communication with us the entire time she was with our pups. Paige could definitely tell how nervous I was to leave my pups with someone new and she helped ease my fears through this whole process. She was a respectful house guest and left our home neat and tidy. My pups love her and so do we. Will be booking all my future Rovers with her!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garrisonville
This was my first time using Rover, and Rebecca exceeded my expectations. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care, which means a lot since he can be a bit of a handful right now. Teddy clearly took to her right away and was happy and relaxed the rest of the night. So glad to have found someone I trust with him. I highly recommend!

Chris took great care of Maggie and my house. Chris sent us lots of pictures and comments about Maggie. We will definitely have Chris back when we need another dog and house sitter. I'm really happy the experience was good for my dog by not leaving her in a kennel.

I couldn’t be more satisfied with the care my dog received. From the start, communication was clear and reliable, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Steven followed all instructions, kept my home neat, and most importantly, treated my dog with genuine care and attention. 10/10!

Liza was amazing - She was super attentive to our Sweetie and Louis and communicated with us perfectly - She took very good care of our home and was super conscientious - We came home to happy and healthy puppies and that's all you can ask for - BOTTOM LINE: we'll be using Liza again FOR SURE and we appreciated her efforts, time, support and love - THANKS LIZA - You rock!!

Caroline house sat and watched our dog when we were out of town for a long weekend and was amazing! She came over three times days to walk and hang out with our dog and sent us pictures and updates each time. We never had to worry and our dog wasn’t lonely. Thanks Caroline!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Garrisonville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Garrisonville on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,429 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Garrisonville. 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 Garrisonville 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 Garrisonville 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 Garrisonville 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.
