“Our pups love Audrey! She's been caring for them every couple of months for a couple of years now and I don't even think they miss us when we're gone. We so appreciate her!”
“Brittany did an amazing job taking care of our dog and our home! Very professional and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended her for any of your animal needs!”
“Thank you so much to Rene . We couldn't have done this without her. My husband and I have never left our 2 border collie girls. After zmeeting with Rene and the girls meeting her we both felt relaxed and comfortable leaving them in her care. We appreciated the updates and videos. The girls seemed happy and comfortable.”
“You simply cannot find better pet sitters than Stella and Rachel!! I’m writing this from Utah knowing full well that our pups are incredibly well cared for. Their communication is absolutely superb, the dogs are happy and well cared for, and they leave our home absolutely spotless. They send picture updates throughout the day, and it feels absolutely wonderful knowing that we don’t have to worry one bit about our pets and home. We are permanent repeat customers of theirs, and we are BLESSED to have found these folks. 1,000% recommend Stella and Rachel to anyone who wants their pets and home spectacularly cared for. 🙌🙌🙌🐶🐶🐶”
“Virginia E. was wonderful. She managed to get our jumpy, excited dog to calm down and take a nap. She sent us a photo of the dog relaxed and taking a nap .I hope that Virginia E. will come back and take care of our dog again in the near future. I know that my dog was in great hands with Virginia. Thanks Virginia E.”
“Amber did a fantastic job. She made sure our nervous dog felt safe and got all the exercise that she needed. She communicated every step of the way and we were very comfortable the whole time. Would absolutely recommend her to anybody.”
“It was a pleasure meeting Karolina and having her watch our 2-dogs for the July 4th Holiday. She was great with spending LOTS of time at our house, walking Stewie & Odie a couple times a day and communicating with us throughout the weekend. We will definitely have her watch our dogs in the future!”
“Stardust has watched our 2 little rascals in the past. She is fantastic! Great communicator, the pups love her, and we feel confident leaving them behind. Thank you again Britt!”
“Rachel is fantastic. She took great care of our super sweet giant snuggle pup and our house. She was incredibly prompt in responding to all of our messages, checked in regularly and sent pictures. She went not an extra mile but extra miles to provide a great experience. Thank you for being awesome to Red Cloud and to us Rachel!”
“We've had Morgan watch our pup and two kitties several times and we love her! She's dependable, caring and totally trustworthy (she stays at our house while we are gone). We would highly recommend Morgan!”
“This is our second time using Veronica, and she has been great. She took care of our dogs, cat, plants, and other things we requested. She sends daily update photos and loves our on pets while we're gone.”
“Donna came to our house to watch our sixteen year old timer doggo, she's a terrific communicator, extremely friendly and trustworthy, and she took wonderful care of him. Highly recommend her, we will definitely be calling her again for future sitting. Reliable and caring.”
“We were very fortunate to have Chene take care of our visiting “granddoggy” while we went away for a few days. Remy can be an anxious little dog, and Chene was very kind and conscientious about helping him feel loved and secure. She came over to meet him and learn all about him before we left so we all felt confident leaving Remy in her care. She also sent a photo or two each day which we really appreciated! Our house was clean and well taken care of as well. Thank you, Chene!”
“Elizabeth was WONDERFUL!!! Annie is a shy dog, slow to warm up to new people. Elizabeth understood how to approach her to increase Annie's comfort level and they were soon best buds. Elizabeth sent us daily written updates, photos and videos to keep us appraised of how Annie's days were going, providing us reassurance and peace of mind during our absence. We would most heartily recommend Elizabeth to house and dog sit, and although we don't often travel without Annie, we are delighted to know we can call on her again if needed. She is a lovely person, wonderful with our dog, and respectful of our home.”
“Katrina was great! She was super sweet to Oliver and left the house super clean! She was incredibly responsive and gave updates on Oliver while we were abroad! I would absolutely book Katrina again!! Thanks for being so kind to Ollie!!”
“Morgan was amazing!!! She watched our two dogs and cat in our home. She was already up to speed on our pets profiles before our meet and greet, and asked a ton of thoughtful questions about their routines and habits. She sent daily updates and pictures - it was such a relief to know our pets were safe and happy while we were out of town! Morgan also went out of her way to be at the house to let in our cleaning service and wheeled our dumpster to the curb when I forgot. Definitely will book Morgan again the next time we go on vacation! 😊”
“Molly did a wonderful job with our two chihuahuas. We were in town for a wedding and she was very communicative and flexible. The dogs warmed up to her quickly due to her kind, calm presence. I would definitely use her again.”
“Mandy was absolutely perfect! Cleo loved her, which was such a relief since Cleo can be particular about new people. Having Mandy there took a huge weight off my shoulders while I was away, and I loved receiving daily photos and updates of Cleo. It was so reassuring to know she was happy and well cared for. On top of that, I came home after a grueling travel day to a freshly cleaned home, which was the best welcome home I could have asked for. I would absolutely book with Mandy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”

Rachel cared for our 2 six month old Jack Russell Terriers, a challenging assignment for sure! For 11 days she gave them great care and lots of love. She updated us daily with photos and text as to how they were doing. We arrived home to a clean house and happy puppies. We are truly grateful to Rachel for her wonderful care! I highly recommend Rachel to care for your pets!

FAQs for House Sitting - Howards Corner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Howards Corner on Rover is $33.3 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 843 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Howards Corner. 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 Howards Corner 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 Howards Corner 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 Howards Corner 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.
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.
