“David makes our dogs feel safe and loved. They run to him as soon as they see him. He followed all our specific instructions and was very conscientious. He snuggled with them and played with them. We really appreciated how positive he was about staying with Belle and Rory. We would definitely use David again!”
“Jill is an amazing dog sitter. We are so happy to have found her to have her babysit our dog we could not be any more happier. She really keeps our mind at ease. Thank you Jill!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was born. I love how no two pets are the same. I treat every pet like they’re my own fur babies. I have many years of experience in both small and large animal care. I work as a veterinary technician. I’m comfortable giving your fur baby daily medication if needed. I am very flexible with timing on when your fur baby needs attention and lovings. I will work my daily tasks around your pets schedule! Everything will be followed what you tell me how to care for your fur baby. I will always give them a lot of attention and lovings.
“Maren was great! Such a sweet person, great with dogs, sent a ton of photos of the dogs throughout the day and info on them going out, going to the bathroom, etc. My dogs were so relaxed when we came home. Would strongly recommend Maren!”
“Katie was the absolute best. She went above and beyond for her stay with my high energy pup, taking him on three 2+ mile walks over the course of her stay. She was extremely thorough and detail-oriented, executing each request and keeping our dog on schedule as much as possible. Sending a bunch of pictures and detailed recaps for each visit/walk. We would absolutely love to have Katie watch our dog again!”
About: For as long as I can remember, I have been surrounded by pets. My grandparents had plenty of dogs and cats on their farm when I was young. This probably helped develop the love and respect I have for these creatures. From a young age, I have always built a connection with most of the pets I meet. I am extremely comfortable around dogs of all sizes, which may be why dogs are very comfortable with me. I pay close attention to detail with each pet I meet-I learn their behaviors and personalities quickly so that they build trust with me. I am currently the owner of three cats, Quincey, Nabi, and Chai. I am a Cat Dad in every sense, and when I am able to buy a house, I will be a Dog Dad as well. I am currently working from home indefinitely, so my schedule is normally wide open all day long. I am very flexible with my hours, so I will do my best to accommodate your personal schedule preferences. As someone who has taken care of dogs and cats through his entire life, I am very aware of the level of trust and communication needed to perform care well. If you are to choose me for drop in visits or walking your dog, I will communicate with you thoroughly through the whole process. Of course, I believe every pet owner would rather care for their pet themselves than have someone else do it, but sometimes life gets in the way. Keeping this in mind, I will make sure that you feel comfortable and establish a level of trust and communication with you to keep your mind at ease. I am more than willing to meet you in person before my services to get your advice, input, and preferences as to how you want me to conduct my service with your loved pet. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I am a lead at my job, so I run a few meetings through the week. Sometimes the times requested may conflict with what I have going on, but I will always let you know if there is a modification needed. For dog walks, I can work around my meeting times and suggest times that work for me, if that is acceptable by the owners that are booking. For cat drop ins, it would be most beneficial to schedule it past 3pm Mountain Time. Cats are very punctual, and I respect that being a cat Dad myself. I care for each pet I provide service for as if they are my own. I will send plenty pictures and detailed updates of their habits, mood, and bathroom essentials. If I see anything concerning I will always let you know immediately. Worry not about packages in the mail, I will make sure I bring them inside while you are gone and update you on that as well

“We HIGHLY recommend Jessica! She is so sweet and genuine, and was fantastic with communication before, during, and after our trip. She went above and beyond with our fur babies! We have a highly energetic dog and she contacted us to make sure she was doing everything possible for him.

“Ava was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Lola! She kept communication open throughout our time away and provided frequent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She treated Lola like she was her own, making sure she was well cared for, exercised, and loved. We felt completely comfortable leaving both our home and our pup in Ava's care. We will definitely be booking with her again for future vacations or anytime we need to be away. We highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!”

Bill took excellent care of my three senior dogs while I was away. He sent pictures/videos every day with text updates and left my house spotless. My dogs loved him and I already have him booked for two more visits. Great communication and very nice person. I recommend him highly (unless you need him when I need him!).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Johnsonburg on Rover is $59.94 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 1,169 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Johnsonburg. 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 Johnsonburg 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 Johnsonburg 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 Johnsonburg 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Johnsonburg. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
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.
