“LaDonna takes such good and sweet care of our dogs. We went on our honeymoon and had no worries while we were away!! LaDonna is so attentive and carrying. It was so nice to unplug knowing our babies were having a great time and were safe!! We got a bit stranded by the hurricane and LaDonna made sure our dogs were all set up and taken care of.”
About: I absolutely love animals of ALL kinds. I have 30+ years of experience caring for them. I have several references of people (friends) that have relied on me to care for their animals while they were away. Please let me know if you would like to meet and schedule today. I am currently not working so I can drop in to care for your pets 1-2 times a day. I always stay and give them pets/love because they miss their parents. We live in Ringgold (NE side) on 2 acres with a 6 foot privacy fence in the back yard. We currently have two Labs: Copper Ray, Abigale DeLaney “Abbie” and two cats Cassie Marie (Bobtail), and Oliver Patrick “Ollie” (Part Maine Coon) They all love laying on the couch together while inside. When they are outside they enjoy running, playing and hunting.
“Emilie for sure has a passion for the pets she cares for, she made sure to care for our pets like we asked and exceeded our expectations! She went above and beyond plus our pets loved her ( even the cat😲) which just shows how well she did with them! I couldn't recommended her more and we will sure be booking with her again!”
“Toni did a Great job taking care of our dog, Winner. Lots of communication. The house was spotless when I came home. Toni is very friendly asked questions To best know what our dog needed. We hope To book her again for dog care.”
“Rachel has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. My dog is quite anxious especially around new people, I could tell how comfortable she made him. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!”
“Madelyn was great with both of our dogs. We have 2 German shepherds 100lbs+ and we have a road behind our house with no fence. She had no problems with them. Left our house spotless, washed and folded all the bedding that she slept on as well. We have used rover multiple times and she has by far been the best house/dog sitter that we have used. We highly recommend using her. We will definitely be using her the future!”
“Very pleased with Ryan once again he took stellar care of my Furry Kids! He sent pictures of them letting me know they were comfortable with him! All around great Vibe from Ryan, Ryan checked in with me making sure my travels brought me back on time before he departed! 100% positive will continue using Ryan!”
About: I am charismatic friendly and energetic person. I enjoy playing with all animals. I love playing tug of war with rambunctious dog. I have experience with light grooming like bathing and trimming fur. I have trimmed the fur of a teacup poodle, who was saddly in a cast. I have experience with elderly animals. I have a cat who is 17 will be 18 this year. My best friends dog is 16 this year I take care of him when they are out of town. Both Lightning and Riley have medical problems that comes with there age. I am availabile anytime during weekdays and weekends. I know how special our fur babies are and I will be happy to help in any way that I can.
“Abigail did a great job caring for all of my animals, my dog, 4 cats and my two horses. She was very attentive and caring with them. She stayed in touch and sent me pictures! My little dog Annie is very timid so she stayed at the house for me. I was so glad when she told me she was warming up and sleeping with her! I was gone for eight days and everyone was well cared for and happy when I returned. I will definitely be using Abigail again!”
“Cherish is exceptional. This was our first time using a service like this and leaving our two young, high energy cattle dog mixes with a sitter. Historically we do boarding with day care. Our dogs loved her. It was evident in the meet and greet and further emphasized in the numerous videos, pictures and updates we received throughout our six night vacation. The peace of mind versus boarding is unmatched. Charish is responsive, thoughtful and tidy. Our house looked better than we left it! We are thankful we have found her and would highly recommend to anyone nervous about leaving your pets. You get to enjoy your trip knowing your pups are being loved and having fun. 10/10.”
“THE BEST! Both our cat and dog immediately loved Hanna. Usually our dog is pretty protective until he gets to know you. He went right up to Hanna, wagging his tail and asking for attention. She handled our fur babies with care and confidence. We could tell from the body language in the pictures she sent us that they were happy and content. Hanna's communication was excellent from the moment we first had contact with her until she was finished watching our animals. She went above and beyond in every aspect. Definately an incredible sitter. Without a doubt we will contact her the next time we need a sitter.”
“Sierra was wonderful! She was always on time, very kind, and made sure Romina was happy and well cared for throughout our time away. Communication with her was incredibly easy, and she kept us updated with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We felt completely comfortable knowing Romina was in such good hands! 100% recommended”
“Kathryn was absolutely amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog for a week and we were so nervous. Before we left our dog got sick and we almost cancelled our vacation but we told Kathryn what was going on and what we were going to need from her while she was watching him. When we met Kathryn, Jameson was so excited and was happy to have someone that was going to take great care of him. She updated us on everything and sent great pictures. When we came home a few days ago we could just tell that Jameson was the happiest puppy when we walked through our dog and was taken care of so well and feeling so much better! We will be using Kathryn again for our next getaway:)”
“We are so grateful that Keelee was able to accept our dog and house sitting job on last minute notice! She was very communicative and I felt completely comfortable with her in my home and with my pups. We just moved to town and I am so thankful to have found Keelee!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Howardville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 486 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Howardville. 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 Howardville 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 Howardville 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 Howardville 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.
