“Ella was once again available even for last minute booking and she is very flexible and responsive. Kenichi loves her and will continue booking her in the future. Thank you again!”

About: I genuinely treat every pet like they're my own. I'm comfortable caring for pets with different needs, whether that's high-energy dogs that need long walks and playtime, puppies still learning routines, or older pets that need a slower pace and a litle extra patience. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications (if necessary), and any specific instructions you leave. I also make a point to keep you updated with photos and check-ins, so you're never left wondering how your pet is doing. Pet care fits really well into my routine. I work as a paralegal during the week, but I'm available during my lunch break for walks or quick drop-ins. After 4 PM, I'm fully available for longer walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company. On weekends, I'm much more flexible and can be available pretty much all day depending on your needs. Whether it's multiple visits, extended stays, or last-minute plans, I'm happy to help. I just ask for about an hour's notice, so I can make sure I get there on time and give your pet the attention they deserve. In my own home, I'm used to caring for two very different personalities. I have one high-energy dog who loves to run and play, and one more relaxed dog who prefers to take it easy. I adjust my care based on their needs , whether that means being outside throwing a ball and staying active, or slowing things down for cuddle time and a calm environment. When I'm in a client's home, I follow that same approach. I pay close attention to each pet's personality and routine and adjust accordingly. If your dog loves to play, I'm more than happy to keep them active and engaged with walks, games, and mental stimulation. If they're more laid back or just want companionship, I'm just as happy to spend time relaxing with them and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

“Nicky was great! She took care of our 3 cats for a few days. She was understanding of their needs and schedule. She sent us pictures of them. She even got our shy kitty to come out and play! I will definitely be keeping her in mind when we need another pet sitter!”
“This was our first time ever having someone outside of our family watch our dogs, so we were a little nervous—but Diyanna was amazing! She kept us updated several times a day, had great communication, and was so sweet. Our dogs absolutely loved her! We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Ellen Jean really calmed my anxious pups! The house was well cared for and my mind was at ease. She was very responsive when I had questions and kept my boys on their routine.”
About: I have never had a dog-less house in my 28 years living! My own fur baby crossed the rainbow bridge not long ago, so I’m looking to pass on the love I gave (still give) her to any and all pups! I’m a stay-at-home wife with no children and no pets currently. My husband is in the Air Force so I’m looking to find ways to spend my time during the days. My schedule is 100% open! I have a fenced backyard and live in a nice quiet neighborhood that is PERFECT for walks. I am willing to make many accommodations as needed, and am really open to whatever is needed.
About: Hi I’m Nathalia! :) I absolutely love animals and getting to know their personalities. I am a dog mom to an energetic Belgian Malinois and a calm Chihuahua. I’ve dog and cat-sitted for family and friends throughout my whole life! I’m comfortable with high and low energy level dogs. I have experience with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I treat every animal as if they were my own! I am currently a college student looking to make a little extra income doing something I love which is caring for animals. I have full availability including weekends! I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, and routines. I also pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I treat every home with respect and keep things clean. I also send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away!
“Amy did a great job with our very active 6 month old puppy. She sent daily photos and updates. She did everything that we outlined and was a pleasure to work with. I have already suggested her to friends. I would absolutely hire her again and feel very confident with her in my house. Thanks Amy!”
“Dorothy was awesome. Very communicative, our dogs loved Dorothy and our home was in great condition when we returned. We loved all of the updates & photos we received but especially loved how comfortable we felt with having Dorothy in our house & taking care of our dogs!”
“Emily was amazing with our large senior dog, and was super respectful of our home while we were away for the weekend. She was great about keeping us updated and sending pictures. It’s really wonderful to know someone so reliable, consistent, and caring is watching our fur baby - it made all the difference during our vacation to have that peace of mind we had with Emily. I could tell Cormac was healthy and happy as could be when we returned.”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover with 20 years of hands-on pet care experience. I know that your pup is a cherished family member, and my top priority is ensuring they feel safe, loved, and fully entertained while you are away. I specialize in managing all types of canine personalities—from high-energy athletes who need long hikes to shy or senior pups who prefer gentle cuddles and a quiet environment. I am well-versed in reading subtle canine body language to keep every interaction positive and stress-free. I’m also comfortable with all ages, sizes and breeds, no matter their temperament. Whether your dog needs a brisk neighborhood walk, overnight companionship, or structured playtime, I am here to provide premium care. I cannot wait to meet your furry family member! I believe pets are the top priority and will always try my absolute best to fit you in. This is my job so always feel free to reach out. I have one very high energy dog who goes and multi-hour walks with me daily. And I have another who is much more of a home body and just wants to cuddle. Taking care of your dog will depend on what your dog wants. I am happy to walk your dog till they don’t want to or I am happy to cuddle and play in the yard/living room. You and your pets care will be customized to your needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mankas Corner
We truly could not have asked for a better dog sitter or house sitter. She cared for our dogs and our home better than I ever could have imagined. From day one, she stayed in constant communication, sending frequent updates and photos that completely put our minds at ease. It was so clear how much love, attention, and care she gave our dogs... they were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored her. Our home was immaculate when we returned. I can say without hesitation that I will never use another sitter as long as she’s around. Absolute gem of a human.
Kristin did an amazing job not only watching Harley but also made sure we returned to a spotless home. She definitely goes above and beyond to ensure that Harley felt safe, secure and comfortable. It’s apparent that Kristin knows the importance of maintaining a calm and caring environment for our senior pet. Thank you so much Kristin!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mankas Corner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mankas Corner on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 3,533 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mankas 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 Mankas 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 Mankas 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 Mankas 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.
