“Mike took good care of our two older dogs. They were happy and healthy apon our 5 day return and the house was great as we left it. He got packages from outside that werent supose to be delivered so that was great too. He showed up on time and stayed until our agreed upon touch down of flight very late the last night. Knowing he lives in the town we do also is nice. We will definitely get him to stay again if he's free next time we need a sitter. He even fixed our tv remote/sound bar connectivity issues. Thanks Mike! Dana”

“Alicia did a **fantastic job** watching Elkie while I was away for three weeks! She truly went above and beyond to make sure both Elkie and I were happy and comfortable. One thing I especially appreciated was how wonderful she was about communicating with me, especially with the time difference while I was traveling. She sent me **numerous pictures and updates**, and it was so reassuring to see how happy, relaxed, and well cared for Elkie was. Alicia even went the extra mile while she was busy and introduced Elkie to her parents’ dogs. They got along really well, which was so sweet to see! 🐾❤️ She was also so thoughtful about making sure **I was having a good time and not worrying about Elkie**, reminding me that she was in good hands. That meant so much to me and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip without worrying. I would **highly recommend Alicia** to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and caring sitter. I would absolutely have her watch Elkie again. She was wonderful, and **Elkie is truly going to miss her!** ❤️🐶”

About: Hello my name is Angelina! I’ve pet sit for cats and dogs in my neighborhood aswell as walked dogs. I also have experience and reviews on wag with sitting and walking. I like to run and can run with dogs. If you need your dog tired out I can make that happen! I’m going to school so I have plenty of free time to board, sit and walk dogs in between. I love walking my dog and playing with her in my free time. I have a fenced back yard with plenty of space to run back and forth in. I have two dogs living at my house but they both can be kept separate if preferred. Also have a cat but he’s never home. My neighborhood is safe with minimal cars and loud noises.

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience caring for my family’s dachshund and taking care of my own pets, including a snake, a crested gecko, and a leopard gecko. Caring for different animals has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every pet has different needs. I’m attentive to feeding routines, cleanliness, behavior, and making sure animals have a comfortable environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat yours with the same care and respect I’d want for my own! I’m organized and responsible, and I plan my schedule carefully to make sure I can give each pet the attention they deserve. I’m happy to coordinate visits, walks, and pet sitting times in advance to fit your pet’s routine and needs. I understand that consistency is important for animals, so I’ll do my best to maintain their usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest schedules. I’ll communicate with you ahead of time to make sure we’re a good fit! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet has fresh water, appropriate food, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and boundaries rather than assuming every animal is the same. I’m careful with doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything that could pose a risk to your pet. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is being cared for responsibly, patiently, and with lots of love.

“Seth watched our dog Blue in our home for four nights, and we can’t recommend him highly enough. He was professional, respectful, and easy to communicate with the entire time. What stood out most was how much genuine time he spent with Blue. He didn’t just cover the basics, he played all of Blue’s favorite games, like chasing him around the couch and playing with his favorite toys. It was clear he really cared about making sure Blue was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. When we got home, Blue was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for which is exactly what you hope for when you leave your dog with someone. We could tell he hadn’t been stressed at all while we were gone. Seth also took great care of our home and left everything clean and in excellent condition. We’d absolutely work with him again and would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog sitter.”

About: I’ve owned seniors dogs, puppies and everything in between. Jack Russell Terrier to English Mastiff. I’ve also owned cats with diabetes that required insulin daily, neurotic quirky animals we’ve had to adapt to, chickens, goats, sheep, bearded dragons and other reptiles. We are an active family. Hilo and Koa go most places with us. However, there are times he must stay home in his covered kennel, fenced yard or inside depending on weather. We enjoy the rhythm of our daily routines just as much as all of our animals. To keep it humming everyone works in concert sharing the load of responsibilities.

About: I was raised with all types of dogs around me including Labradors, chihuahuas, pit bulls, and terriers. I dog sit for a few family friends that trust me to care for their pets while they are out of town. I am currently flexible in my day to day schedule so I am available most of the week. I am open to do walks, drop ins, or house sit if needed. While I don’t have my own place to keep your dog, I am more than willing to care of your dog at your home. I have reliable references who have let me stay at their homes weeks-months at a time to care for their pets. While staying at your home or just checking up on your pets, I also take the trash out as well as bring in any mail/packages when needed while you’re away.

About: For the past 10 years of my life, I have cared for multiple different breeds and sizes of dogs ranging from 5 pounds to 100 pounds. I give the upmost care possible to ensure that all dogs are happy, healthy, and having fun. I have experience, caring for senior dogs as well as different energy levels. Under whatever level of care you require, you will come back to a happy pet and a safe home. I currently work part-time between 20 and 30 hours a week but I have a very flexible schedule, and I am free for most of the day and night. I’m currently saving money to be able to go to university in one to two years so during my time in your house I’ll most likely be studying or knitting as a way to decompress after work. I’m dedicated to safety and comfort of pets and owners so as long as I have instructions and a quick conversation, I will be able to follow any guidelines you set for me. I do have experience caring for senior dogs and will be able to follow a medication schedule if needed.

I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Ashley to care for Coco. Coco usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but she was comfortable with Ashley right away—which says everything. Ashley was warm, communicative, and clearly a natural with dogs. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos that gave me total peace of mind. It was clear Coco wasn’t just being “watched”—she was genuinely cared for, loved, and engaged. Ashley paid close attention to Coco’s routines and personality, which made a big difference. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup and a house just as I left it. That level of care and professionalism is rare. I would absolutely trust Ashley again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pet. Coco already misses her!

Rebeca did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our reactive dog, Ginger. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about Ginger's well-being. Caring for a reactive dog requires extra understanding and compassion, and Rebeca handled everything beautifully. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures and the sweetest stories about Ginger's day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, Ginger was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Our house was also in great shape. We are incredibly grateful for the love and attention Rebeca gave to Ginger and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. We will absolutely book with her again!

Ashley was proactive about meeting with us well in advance of our trip and making sure she had all the details she needed while we were away. We needed someone who could stay overnight since our cats are not used to being alone at all. One in particular is very fearful. She communicated well during our trip and sent photos of the 4 felines. When we thought we might get delayed overnight on the way home, she was willing to stay another night with no question. She was very sweet but also responsible and thoughtful. We will definitely book her again when the time comes.

I needed a house sitter at the last minute over Thanksgiving. Ashley responded right away to my inquiry and came over that same day to meet Yuzu and see my house. She was delightful, and both Yuzu and I felt comfortable with her immediately. She coordinated clearly with me and my neighbors, and sent me pictures of my happy dog. I would definitely contact her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Johnston Corner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 2,171 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Johnston 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 Johnston 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 Johnston 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Johnston 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Johnston Corner. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
