“Wonderful! Spent the day with my puppy. Was kind and caring towards her. Sent me frequent updates with pictures. Highly recommend Shannon for watching your fur baby.”
About: Been around animals all my life, they care and love i have and the joy it brings is out of this world. Also as i help care for my grandmom and she has had pets growing up. I know it will bring her joy and will take up her time as she sits in the house, if we dont go out for the day. As i work on the week days, i am availble (if nothing pops up) on the weekends, like a friday night untill sunday night if that will work for anybody. And also i do work in the school system so having weeks off for or a couple days off can change my schedule but for now, weekends are best. If pets need care i am here to learn and help, i do offer a yard (sadly is not fenced) but if on a leash your pet will be taken very care of and we be shown love and care.
“Mae is the best!!! I can’t say enough good things. She took such good care of our dog, 2 cats, and 2 turtles. She even watered our plants and took in our mail. She sent daily updates and we felt so secure on our trip knowing Mae was looking after all our pets. We recommend her so highly and hope she will house/pet sit for us again in the future!!”
About: I’ve had dogs before, so I’m comfortable managing and caring for them daily. I also grew up around about 16 dogs, which helped me develop patience, confidence, and the ability to handle different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand routines like feeding, walks, supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During the school year, I’m available before and after school. I leave for school in the morning and return around 2:40 PM, so I’m dependable for afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort.
About: I have never not had a dog as far back as I can remember. I love being around them. From puppies to senior dogs also. As of Dec. 27th I will be working full time, however I can still do walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I can still do morning walks and evening walks. Can walk dogs from a small walk to up to several miles if needed, on a hike and just play ball if needed. I currently do not have a yard to be able to have a dog at my home. Hope to change that in the future as needed
“Sade was great as usual, this was the 3rd time we’d working with her and our dogs were so happy to see her again. The dogs were getting used to a new schedule and she took it in stride without any issue. Sade is always very easy to work with and communicates just the right amount with us!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have two 2-year-old American Bulldogs that I raised and trained from puppies. Because of that, I’m especially experienced with puppy care, basic training, and handling large, high-energy dogs. I’ve also cared for dogs of all sizes, from small family dogs to larger breeds, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique personality and needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work a couple of evenings each week at a restaurant and train for soccer for about two hours on some mornings, which leaves me with plenty of flexibility to provide pet care. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m committed to giving your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and any medications if needed. I’ll also keep your home clean, provide regular updates with photos, and treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 years. I’m really in it for the love of the game. I unfortunately can’t have a dog my self, which in turn makes me love and care for others dogs even more. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and can handle just about anything when it comes to caring for them. I know how much you care about your dog, which is why I will go to the ends of the earth to take care of them Lucas Domazet I’m part time at the family business, so I’m free most days. Just text me when ever and I’ll let you know. Call at midnight for all I care. I know life is crazy and sometimes you can’t take your pets with you. That’s why I’m here What ever special requirements your pet may need, I will do. I know everyone loves their dog(s) more than most other people in their life. So obviously they deserve as much love and care as we can give them.
About: Animals have been my whole life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the one taking care of our pets, and I’ve had dogs, cats, and all kinds of other animals over the years. Even a squirrel! I’ve also spent years pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family & collègues. Whenever someone needs help with their pets, I am usually the first person they call. I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals and their different personalities! I’ve always been involved in helping animals however I can. Back when I was in school, I organized donation drives for local shelters and volunteered my time there. I also help build shelters for stray cats in the winter for a few consecutive years now! Working with animals has always been a dream of mine. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets and care for them like they’re family, I’d love to help! P.S. I am more than willing to care for any other types of animals! Turtles, birds, rabbits, lizards and hey even a squirrel! As long as all of the proper personal care information is relayed to me in advance :) I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting, drop in visits, and walks. Outside of work, my schedule is very open! I care for pets in their own homes by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I know being away from their owners can be stressful, so I make sure they feel comfortable and safe while you’re gone. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are doing well!

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats! Dogs that are more trained and have troubles with eating during given dinner hours! I have lots of experience with shy cats and anxious dogs, given my cat has been very shy towards others, and my dog is incredibly anxious! While I do have more experience with cats, I am as much of a dog lover as I am a cat lover! Currently also trying to look for a part time job, but my schedule is all around free besides on super early mornings, weekdays are fair game for me as of right now! Same with some weekends if given prior notices! I will follow any given guidelines and rules to anyone I will be having my services given to! I am a very clean person, especially with animals! I will follow any given diets or routines with what ever critter you may have in store for me!

“This was my first experience using a pet sitter I didn’t know personally. Dean made me feel very at ease leaving Dunk in his care. He texted me during the stay and sent the best pictures. And in addition he cleaned up the house before he left! Definitely someone to be recommended.”
“I would leave more stars if I could. Our trip was enjoyed more because Sterlin is professional, caring and most importantly loving to our Cavilier. We left Sugar in great hands!!!!”
“Jules was great with our very energetic pup who also experiences separation anxiety! She sent us regular updates and we felt relaxed knowing Shiloh was being taken care of so well! We would 100% book again with Jules in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasantville
CeeCee was the most caring and incredible dog sitter. Our Cavapoo usually doesn’t get too comfortable in someone’s home but within 10 minutes she warmed up to CeeCee and was her happy go lucky self around her home. She sent pics and updates and paid so much special attention to our pup. I’m only sad, that she doesn’t live closer to my town to make her our regular sitter. 10 out of 10 review !! I’d 100 percent recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FAQs for House Sitting - Pleasantville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pleasantville on Rover is $24.42 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 329 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pleasantville. 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 Pleasantville 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 Pleasantville 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 Pleasantville 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 Pleasantville. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
