“ALLIE IS AMAZING!! Our frenchie’s and indoor cat LOVE her and we are so thankful to have her part of our lives. We never have to worry about them when we have to be away because we know they are being well loved and cared for. She also is very reliable and gives detailed feedback and daily reports. Last, Allie is an amazing pet photographer and very knowledgeable about canine and feline health. You can’t go wrong with Allie, we highly recommend her!”
“i will definitely recommend and use Ryan again, he took great care of my dogs, he took detail on what their schedules and needs, my dogs where well taken care of, Ryan was a great help while i was on vacation! 5 stars!”
“Rachel has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. My dog is quite anxious especially around new people, I could tell how comfortable she made him. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!”
“We are so grateful that Keelee was able to accept our dog and house sitting job on last minute notice! She was very communicative and I felt completely comfortable with her in my home and with my pups. We just moved to town and I am so thankful to have found Keelee!”
“Highly recommend! 10/10! 5 stars. Charish was so sweet to our pugs and sent many updates. She was also so kind and a really respectful guest in our home. We can’t wait for her to care for our girls again!”
“Cortney took amazing care of my pack of 3 dogs and a pig. She updated me throughout the weekend and I came home to happy fur babies and a clean house. I highly recommend Cortney.”
“Toni did a Great job taking care of our dog, Winner. Lots of communication. The house was spotless when I came home. Toni is very friendly asked questions To best know what our dog needed. We hope To book her again for dog care.”
“We have only good things to say about Bonnie! She was super easy to communicate with and sent funny updates and photos while we were away. Jax was well taken care of as was our home. Would highly recommend her!”
“Malinda was great! Kept me updated over the two weeks she watched them. My dogs were super happy and comfortable, including my youngest who can be a nervous with new people.”
“Addie was fantastic. She stayed at my home for 15 days watching Freddie and Purrl, and honestly the communication alone made the whole trip stress-free. She sent regular updates and photos, so I never had to wonder how they were doing — I just knew. Came home to two happy, well-cared-for animals and a house left in great shape. Addie was respectful of my space the entire time, which matters a lot when someone's living in your home. Would book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone who wants a sitter they can actually trust while they're away.”
“She was great. Updated me on photos throughout her stay. If something was out of the ordinary she communicated with me. Love her open communication style. The dogs were very happy”
“Abigail did a great job caring for all of my animals, my dog, 4 cats and my two horses. She was very attentive and caring with them. She stayed in touch and sent me pictures! My little dog Annie is very timid so she stayed at the house for me. I was so glad when she told me she was warming up and sleeping with her! I was gone for eight days and everyone was well cared for and happy when I returned. I will definitely be using Abigail again!”
“Madelyn was great with both of our dogs. We have 2 German shepherds 100lbs+ and we have a road behind our house with no fence. She had no problems with them. Left our house spotless, washed and folded all the bedding that she slept on as well. We have used rover multiple times and she has by far been the best house/dog sitter that we have used. We highly recommend using her. We will definitely be using her the future!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of Toby and Tigger. Care love and time. James went above and beyond. I appreciate everything he did for my babies. I had total peace of mind while I was traveling. Thank you James.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Poplar Springs
Emily was great with Charley. She kept us updated with pics and it seems like Charley enjoyed her company. She was quick to reach out with any concerns she had when it came to Charley not eating as much at the start of Emily watching her and we were able to come up with some tricks to get her to try and eat. Charley got better about eating once she got used to things. If we ever need a pet sitter again, we will definitely look at booking Emily again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Poplar Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Poplar Springs on Rover is $32.19 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 496 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Poplar Springs. 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 Poplar Springs 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 Poplar Springs 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 Poplar Springs 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.
