“Dominique went above and beyond with Finley! Dominique graciously fixed an issue caused by a previous sitter, where Finley suffered from heightened anxiety and allergies. Dominique ensured Finley was given his medications appropriately, so he could heal and relax. She also kept me informed of his progress, so I wasn’t worried about him. Thank you Dominique for taking such good care of Finley!!”

“Five stars is not enough for the incredible care our two fur babies received from Catherine K.! From start to finish, Catherine was exceptionally professional and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding, providing us with regular updates and wonderful photos that kept our minds at total ease while we were away. It was clear from the moment she took over that our cats were in safe, highly capable, and loving hands. Catherine went above and beyond to maintain their daily routines and allowed them their space to become comfortable with her. If you want absolute peace of mind and a sitter who treats your pets like family, look no further than Catherine K. We will absolutely be booking her again!”

“Audrey did a wonderful job caring for my two pups, Ferrari and Aston! She exceeded my expectations, and I genuinely appreciated the care, attention, and thoughtfulness she showed throughout their stay. One of the things I appreciated most was her excellent communication. She kept me informed of any issues that came up and consistently shared pictures and videos so I could see how my babies were doing. Knowing that she was keeping a close eye on them and communicating with me gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. What really impressed me was Audrey’s willingness to go the extra mile. When Ferrari didn’t poop during his initial potty break, she took him out again to give him another opportunity rather than simply leaving it at that. That extra effort showed that she was attentive to his needs and genuinely wanted to make sure he was taken care of. She also graciously stayed additional time to accommodate my late arrival. She was completely understanding and didn’t make me feel bad about needing the extra time. Her flexibility and willingness to help were greatly appreciated! These thoughtful gestures speak volumes about Audrey’s character and the kind of care she provides. She didn’t just show up to fulfill her responsibilities; she paid attention to the little things that matter when someone is caring for your fur babies. Her communication, patience, flexibility, and willingness to go above and beyond made a real difference. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is attentive, dependable, communicative, and willing to go the extra mile, I highly recommend Audrey! It’s such a relief to find someone who understands that our pets are family and treats their care with that level of importance. Thank you, Audrey, for taking such great care of Ferrari and Aston! ❤️🐶🐶 I truly appreciate everything you did, including the extra potty trip for Ferrari and your flexibility with my arrival time. Those things did not go unnoticed! I would absolutely recommend you to other pet parents and would be happy to have you care for my pups again. You were a blessing to us! 🐾💕”

“Melissa was great and Rocky loved her! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous but Melissa eased my mind. Not being used to “strangers” staying with him, Rocky had some separation anxiety. Melissa was very straightforward about it and kept me updated the whole time. I made some suggestions and she tried them all. I would love to have Melissa stay with Rocky again if she’s interested.”

About: Hello, I’m Jose, a proud Marine veteran who’s had pets all my life—especially dogs. I understand the importance of reliable, responsible, and compassionate care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Currently, I have three German Shepherds who keep me on my toes, and I know exactly how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your dog when you’re away. With my military background, I’m highly disciplined, organized, and focused on providing the best care. Whether it’s taking your dog on a long walk, keeping them active with fetch, or simply giving them attention and cuddles, I ensure they’re always in safe hands. My experience with my own dogs has given me valuable insights into different dog behaviors, needs, and training techniques. You can rest easy knowing that I’ll provide personalized care for your pet, keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel comfortable and loved in your absence. Here’s an updated pet care experience for Rover that incorporates your work schedule: I understand how important it is to have flexibility when it comes to pet care. My work schedule is Thursday night into Sunday mornings, so I’m available to care for your pets all day Sunday through Wednesday. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or administering medications, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs during those days. My consistent availability during the week ensures your pet receives personalized, dependable care without the stress of interruptions. You can count on me to provide the same level of reliability and care that I give my own pets, ensuring they’re well-cared-for and happy. Whether your dog or cat needs companionship, exercise, or just a peaceful place to rest, I’ve got it covered! Even for boarding, I can make it work out even when I’m not home that your pet is taken care of. Note: Right now I am off work due to an injury and won’t be back until July. So I have more availability. With three German Shepherds of my own, I know how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment for pets. I treat my animals like family, and I offer the same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. I live in a spacious single-family home with a fenced yard, providing your pet with plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. Whether it’s a game of fetch or some free time in the yard, I ensure they have the space to stretch their legs. When it’s time to rest, I provide a peaceful, comfortable playpen where your pet can recharge for the next round of fun. Safety is my top priority. I have cameras set up throughout the house so I can monitor your pet when no one is home, ensuring they’re always safe and content. Whether they’re playing in the yard or napping in their playpen, I’ll always be able to keep an eye on them and make sure they’re well taken care of. With a reliable and loving home environment, I’ll provide the same quality care and attention to your pet as I give my own. You can trust that your furry family member will feel right at home with me—safe, secure, and treated with the care they deserve.

“Jade was, literally, amazing. This was the first time we had ever left our 3 (3!) precious pups. She took the time in advance to get to know them, what each of them needed and liked. She gathered information about the house and our trip so she could really support us while we were away. She sent us daily pictures and updates on their adventures - even graciously cleaned up after our youngest's, thankfully one time, "oopsie". From the pics and the calm, happy pups we returned to, it is clear they all adored her back. Without a doubt I would have Jade back in the future and most definitely recommend her most highly.”

About: My goal is to make sure your fur babies feel like they’re in loving hands . I’ve been around dogs and cats most of my childhood well into adulthood and I can honestly say I truly love interacting with and caring for them. I currently work , but my schedule is pretty flexible and why not fill it with doing something I can enjoy doing? Loving for and caring on fur babies. I would follow whatever structure you currently have with your pet , it seems that usually is the most efficient . Again your fur babies would be in the greatest care with me.

“Hannah managed to coax our three shy cats out of their hiding places and eventually even got kisses from the boy cat. She kept us informed of her progress along the way to feline acceptance with emails, photos and new toys from them. As a house sitter, Hannah dealt with Verizon FiOS when our wifi went down by troubleshooting and meeting with the technician who was able to fix the problem. And she left the house cleaner than we left it! We (both humans and felines) look forward to calling on Hannah for our next vacation.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 3 years now, and my love for animals has always been a big part of who I am. My experience includes providing attentive, loving care through daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and maintaining pets’ normal routines while their owners are away. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to each animal’s individual needs. Whether caring for an energetic pup who loves to explore, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a little extra attention, I strive to make every visit a positive experience. I take pet safety seriously and always make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your beloved animal, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. i'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play and have fun with your pups! I'm available three days a week midday to late evening I live in an apartment and can hold pets during the day, to play and cuddle! I live near plenty of dog parks and walking trails and will more than likely be on the go enjoying them with your pup.

Peyton is an absolutely phenomenal pet sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! We are her multi-repeat customer for great reason! I have multiple dogs, each with their own needs, including medications and a very specific diet and feeding schedule. Peyton follows every detail perfectly, giving me complete peace of mind whenever I’m away. What makes her truly special is how much she genuinely loves my dogs and cat. She treats them as if they were her own, and the feeling is absolutely mutual—they adore her! It’s clear that she goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. On top of that, Peyton is incredibly thoughtful and dependable. She brings in packages, keeps the house clean, and makes sure everything is tidied up after the pets. She takes care of the little things without ever needing to be asked, which makes such a difference. Finding someone you can trust with your beloved pets and your home is priceless, and Peyton is exactly that person. She is caring, responsible, detail-oriented, and truly exceptional at what she does. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets like family and take care of everything with the utmost attention, Peyton is the best. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Garrisonville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Garrisonville is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $73 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,322 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
