“We are delighted by Amber who watched our pup Oxford this past weekend. She was extremely proactive with her questions and willingness to come for a pre-visit to meet him beforehand. She stayed at our home from Friday night through Sunday and left our place spotless. Oxford seemed to have a great time with her and Amber was communicative even with our spotty service. We will definitely have Amber back to watch Oxford and are happy to recommend her.”

About: I treat every pet like family! I’m caring, patient, and dependable, and I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I pay attention to each pet’s unique needs and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I currently work part time at tidal health and when I don’t work there I’m at home with my 2 dogs panda and lily. I also take care of my boyfriends dog when he work 24 hour shifts. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. I will make sure they have exercise, playtime and all the attention and affection they need. I follow all the instructions provided by the owner including their feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed. While caring for your pets I will keep things clean, can send regular updates, and photos if needed. I treat every pets as if it was my own.

About: I have loved dogs my entire life, and grew up taking care of them from a young age. I have attended many dog training classes with my family dog, and understand that every dog has its own personality and needs. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules and administering simple medications, and play time. As a pet sitter I am dependable, responsible, and I pay attention to detail. I will treat your dog as if they are my own. I am currently a college student at Salisbury University so I have one to two classes in the morning and am free throughout the day to go for good walks, play time, and am available to do drop in visits. I also live in a house with a large fenced yard and I offer dog boarding. I provide safe, reliable dog care. I have reliable transportation and lots of available time during to the day to either come let your dog out for a good walk, or I also offer dog boarding at my own home that has no other pets and has a large fenced yard.

About: Im familiar with giving medication, and providing exceptional care for all animals. I've cared for pets most of my life, and I have 5 years of experience in an animal shelter caring for cats and dogs. It's very rewarding, and it's the best part of my day when I see the happy tails, hear the purring and receiving those kisses. I dont live in Denton, I live in Salisbury. I do travel for my clients,[up to 50 miles] only if youre in need of a sitter for more than 3 days. We can discuss even further during a meet n greet. My full time work is as a gig worker. I make my own schedule, so I am able to care for your pets at any time. I love animals! I provide a safe, and caring environment when I care your pets. I love them like they're my own. Care would be in your home, and I usually stay overnight, unless you would like daily care, then I would come a couple times per day to provide meals, scoop litter boxes, take daily walks, etc.

About: I love any kind of dog and will treat them as my own! I’ve had a dog almost my entire adult life and now greatly miss having one after mine passed away a few years ago. I work part time 10:30-4 Monday thru Friday. I am available before and after those hours. I take several walks a day as I like to stay active, but it is much more fun when there is a pet to accompany you! I have a large fenced in backyard and lots of toys to play with. My neighborhood is very pet friendly, has many sidewalks, and has lots of nice yards to poop in! I also have a park close by that is pet friendly. I will give your pet the love and attention they deserve!

I can handle everything from puppy all the way to senior. I own my own business and work from home so I have alot of flexibility as far as being able to care for your babies whether in my home or yours. I have a fenced yard for them to run as they please. Our pets are allowed on all furniture and beds, it's their home too!

“Brooke is a wonderful pet sitter! Amigo is a rescue and had a sad beginning so he is sometimes withdrawn around strangers but he immediately loved Brooke! She is so reliable and shows up on time and lets you know her schedule in advance. She is great with animals and a very sweet person. She is very smart and catches on quickly. Reluctantly highly recommend her because if everyone uses her she might be too busy when we need her next and I definitely want her the next time we need a sitter!”

She communicated with me any time I requested and in a timely manner. I felt good knowing they were well cared for while we were gone. Oh, she even washed the sheets on the bed she used. Great service for sure!”

About: Ive been taking care of little to small pups ever since a little girl. Our family has had breeds anywhere from chihuahuas to lab to boxer. Im looking forward to meeting new pups, as well as giving them the exercise and cuddles they need or desire. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out anytime! I love puppies, so anytime is puppy time. But, I'm currently available only early mornings, mid day and evenings. I do have a child at home so that will have to be taken into consideration. I work a 8-4 schedule, but I am free to leave if I absolutely need to. I can definitely do grooming. Your pet will be fed based on owners normal schedule. Dogs can be let out ever 2-6 hours depending on availability. Any rule you apply for your pet to adhere to, I will delegate that.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them part of the family. Until last year, I cared for my own dog, Tank, who passed away at 14. Caring for him through his senior years taught me the value of patience, close observation, and keeping a pet’s routine as comfortable and consistent as possible. Tank occasionally had seizures, which gave me firsthand experience remaining calm, reducing stimulation, helping keep a dog safe from injury, and closely monitoring them while following an owner’s or veterinarian’s instructions. I understand that every pet has their own needs, personality, routines, and comfort level. I’ve also dog sat for family members and truly enjoy making sure their pets receive dependable care, affection, exercise, and companionship while they are away. I’m detail-oriented and will follow your instructions closely. Feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules to favorite toys, training cues, and any special needs, your pet will feel safe, loved, and cared for in your absence. I work part-time as a caregiver for a person with a disability, a role that has strengthened my patience, reliability, and attention to individual routines and needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I can accommodate a wide range of pet-care routines, visit times, and scheduling needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine safe, comfortable, and as familiar as possible. At my home, I have a yard available for regular bathroom breaks and a small park nearby for daily walks, exercise, and fresh air. I do not have any pets living with me full-time. From time to time, I care for my mother’s friendly French Bulldog, Vinny, who enjoys being around other dogs. I will always communicate in advance if another dog may be present and will make sure introductions are handled slowly, safely, and according to your pet’s comfort level. In a client’s home, I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, house rules, and any special routines or needs. My goal is to provide dependable, detail-oriented care that helps your pet feel secure and well cared for while you are away.

Meaudré took great care of Baxter! He was happy when we got home, and I really appreciated that she stayed at the house the whole time. That was especially important for him since he has some separation anxiety. We felt good knowing he was comfortable and didn’t have to spend the time alone. I’d definitely have her watch him again!

Julie was such a huge relief to our family! We have a rescue who cannot be boarded and planning vacations/trips can be overwhelming because of it. Julie came to the house to ensure our dog could meet her and feel comfortable around her before our actual time away. She was on time, professional, and sent pictures to update us on she was doing. We will definitely be using Julie again for all of our future dog sitting needs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Manokin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 216 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Manokin. 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 Manokin 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 Manokin 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 Manokin 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 Manokin. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
