“She is punctual and responsive to all messages. Tiffany is very personal, professional and patient with our dogs. She allowed my older dog to relax and chill out while at the same time, she played with my very energetic and playful puppy.”
“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!”

About: I’ve had my own cat for three years, so I’m super comfortable with daily pet care and understanding different moods and personalities. I’ve also taken care of several dogs, another cat, and even a few lizards a couple of times, so I’m used to handling all kinds of animals. Whether it’s keeping dogs happy and active, giving cats the space and attention they need, or making sure reptiles stay in the right environment, I always try to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I have time from the early morning or until 11 at night. I'm working full-time so during the day would be hard to make a visit but for emergencies I have several family members that are available and can drive. My cat (Monkey) likes going outside but he cant go out because he'll get into trouble or get bugs, so I watch him for a couple minutes as he soaks up some sun or sniffs around. He also likes being combed and watching outside from various windows around the house. I set up little perches with comfortable sitting or laying spots. For other friends that don't live with me, I'll ask for their favorite games, toys, or treats to make them feel like I'm a fun and loving uncle. I love interacting with them as much as I can making them feel that they are special.
“This was our second time having Aubrianna housesit and watch our pup. She did an excellent job again and the house was SPOTLESS when we returned. We will definitely be rebooking :)”
“Jade did a wonderful job caring for Kitty. She respected our home and was super communicative while we were away. She sent us daily updates along with pictures of Kitty, which provided me with a much needed peace of mind. I will definitely book with Jade again.”

“Allie is absolutely heaven sent! From the moment she started watching my pugs during our wedding weekend, she went so far above and beyond anything I could have imagined. Not only did she take incredible care of the dogs, giving them so much love and attention but she also helped in ways that went beyond pet sitting. She sent me detailed updates and made the sweetest video montage of the pugs that truly melted my heart. She cleaned up, took out the garbage, and made sure everything was spotless when we got home. Most importantly, she treated my boys like her own, and they absolutely adored her. Leaving my pugs for the first time during such a big weekend made me anxious, but Allie’s kindness, communication, and care completely put me at ease. Because of her, I was able to enjoy my wedding stress-free knowing they were safe, happy, and loved. Allie, thank you so much, you’re one of a kind, and I’m so grateful for you! 💛🐾”

I really appreciated the consistent updates and photos - it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands while I was away. She also treated my home with respect, which didn’t go unnoticed. Overall, Melissa made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, giving me 15 years of hands-on experience across all breeds and sizes. From large, powerful breeds like Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and Great Danes to spirited Schnauzers and my current 4-year-old French Bulldog, I understand how to adjust my care to every dog's unique personality and energy level. Whether your pup needs confident, experienced handling on walks or gentle, focused attention, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care is my top priority! I manage my schedule carefully to ensure every dog gets full attention, frequent bathroom breaks, and daily exercise. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I have flexible availability to match your dog's exact daily routine. Having raised dogs my whole life—from large breeds like Great Danes and Pitbulls to smaller pups like my Frenchie—I prioritize safety above all else. In your home, I keep the environment secure, strictly follow all feeding and leash protocols, and provide frequent updates and photos so you have total peace of mind.
About: I adore animals, and have sat for both dogs and cats for almost two years. I also have a dog of my own—a pitbull terrier rescue named Anne. I'm willing to adapt to your pet's routines and drop by as many times as requested, or house sit if preferred. I've walked dogs big and small, and am capable of handling some pulling on walks. I am also capable of taking care of multiple pets at once, as well as managing medications and varying dietary requirements. I am a part time college student at Germanna, so I have relatively open availability and can base my own schedule around your pets' needs. I adhere to whatever routine or house rules I am given. I can stay and play with the pets to ensure that they don't get bored out of their minds, and visit at least a few times a day. For pets that stay kenneled between visits, I especially ensure that I spend plenty of time with them while I am there so they won't be cooped up. While outside or on walks, I make sure your pets are properly supervised and am attentive to my surroundings so that your pets stay safe. I can also give photo updates, so that you can see your pets are safe and happy :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garrisonville
This was our first time using Rover for our five dogs, and we could not be more pleased. Communication with Rebecca even before she actually started was amazing and reassuring. She is an absolute pro at this, and our dogs took to her immediately. She sent numerous updates with pictures and videos throughout the weekend. Highly highly recommend!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was absolutely wonderful with my puppy and stayed with her throughout the entire day. She was very attentive, caring, and made sure my puppy was comfortable and well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my puppy was in such good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby. I will absolutely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️
Allie was exceptional! She took such great care of my pack (5 dogs total) and I couldn’t have asked for a more caring person to stay with them. I was given updates and photos, and could tell how comfortable and safe my dogs felt with her! The house was spotless when I came home! I am so sad she will be relocating, but know she will make a great addition to anyone’s pack once she settles in her new home!
Chris did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs! He was very communicative and sent multiple pictures throughout the day. We didn’t need to check in because he gave us regular updates on how they were doing, unprompted. Our dogs have definitely gained a new best friend after this. We look forward to having Chris stay with our dogs again in the future ☺️
This is the second time that Tanisha has pets it for me and she did a great job. She's very patient with my dogs, especially my dog who is reactive. The house was clean and tidy when I got home and both the dogs were extremely happy. I will happily have Tanisha sit for us again in the future.
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 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 3,439 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.

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.
