“Leigh was amazing with Duch yet again! I was updated without having to ask and had the peace of mind that Duch was in great care! Leigh goes above and beyond and I was so thankful to come back to a happy pup!”
“Matthew took good care of our very large, reactive dog while we were away. He sent us photos daily and was good at communicating if he had any questions. We will definitely be asking Matthew to watch our pup next time we go away.”
“One of the hardest things about having pets is caring for them when we’re not able to. There’s just so much to worry about and too many nuanced details to convey to a house/dog sitter that it’s tough to be at ease. I’ll admit that I’m a little high-strung and using Rover for the first time for this service was not an easy decision. Fast forward to today…Heather is an absolute pro. You immediately get that she’s very experienced and respectful of your unique situation. She asks all the right questions and is an excellent communicator. Honestly could go on and on, but needless to say, we’re super pleased and I think found the high-mark on our very first try. We are already scheduled to see her again this summer and it’ll be the first time that I won’t worry about our dogs or home. Thanks Heather!”
“Brad did a fantastic job caring for our senior Greyhound in our home during an international trip. He was communicative, responsive, and asked questions when needed to ensure he was providing the best care for our girl. I’m very grateful that Brad’s professionalism allowed us to have a worry-free vacation! And a bonus- the house looks even better than when we left it.”
“We were very pleased having Chris here at our home to watch our Corgi Mickey. Mickey wasn’t feeling his best and Chris kept us well informed and sent photos of Mickey to reassure us that all was well. We plan to have her come again the next time we need to go out for a long period of time. Chris was awesome!”
“Sarah was wonderful! My dogs clearly loved her and they got lots of snuggles and walks while we were gone. She was also really good about communicating her schedule and sent me daily updates and pictures of the pups. We are looking forward to having her back.”
“Second time we’ve used Jenni and Matt and they are just plain wonderful! Pups always well taken care of when we return and lots of pics/videos sent while we were gone. 100% would recommend booking them!”
About: I have 10 years of professional experience working with shelter animals and have cared for hundreds of dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. From shy and fearful pets who need extra time to warm up, to high-energy dogs still learning their manners, seniors who prefer a slower pace, and animals with ongoing medical needs, I’m comfortable meeting each pet where they are. I know firsthand that introducing an unfamiliar person can be challenging for dogs who are nervous, selective, or protective of their space. I’m happy to meet your pup as many times as needed to help them feel safe and comfortable with me before being left in my care. I’m experienced in reading canine body language, respecting boundaries, building trust, redirecting overstimulation, and working with dogs who may need a little more patience than others! Over the past five years, I’ve also fostered dozens of dogs and cats, often specifically taking in animals who need additional training, socialization, confidence-building, or time to decompress outside of a shelter environment. This has given me plenty of hands-on experience with everything from house and crate training to leash manners, enrichment, separation concerns, dog-to-dog interactions, and helping nervous animals settle into a routine. I also have two years of veterinary technician experience and am comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with medical needs. Most importantly, I understand that every pet is an individual. Whether yours is a social butterfly who wants to be my best friend immediately, a senior who just wants a leisurely walk and couch time, or a nervous pup who needs me to earn their trust first, I’m happy to care for them at their pace! I understand the stigma around certain breeds, and can assure you that I have a clear understanding of what to expect with each. My current client list includes breeds such as Cane Corso, Belgian Malinois, Husky, Newfoundland, German Shorthair Pointer, Labrador, Poodle, and, of course, many mixed breed cuties rescued from the shelter! I am currently employed full-time, though I have a flexible schedule that allows hybrid/remote work. This has allowed me flexibility with owners, as I can freely adjust my schedule to meet your pets needs! I prefer to stick to what your pet is most comfortable with. I’ve stayed with some animals that prefer their space, and others that prefer more attention. Each dog is different, so I am here to accommodate their own needs and wants!
“If I could give Leslie six stars I would. I felt comfortable as soon as she came through the door at the meet and greet. She’s great with the dogs, her communication is clear, professional, kept us updated throughout the day with texts and photos and took great care of the house. I’m looking forward to continuing to book with Leslie.”
“Shanisa was a wonderful sitter! My home was left cleaned and organized and my pups were happy as can be. She was prompt to respond and even though i was away for only a weekend, she made sure to send pictures and videos to me. Would highly recommend!”
About: Hello! I am a huge animal lover, who regrets not pursuing a degree in Veterinary Medicine. Animals have been my passion, love, and a needed presence for my entire life; in fact, my first word was kitty. As a child I researched animals of all kinds, and still do today. I love to train and play with dogs, snuggle with cats, ride horses, sing with the birds, make kissy faces at fish, etc. I often research natural pet care(& for humans!), training for all animals. I am educated in pet behavior and look for any signs of distress or change in your pets behavior, physical and mental health. I also enjoy making homemade organic, healthy treats for all pets. I've had many types of animals over the years and genuinely looking to enjoy time with your pets. I'm happy to just spend time, train (I am not a professional but do enjoy training) and walk or hike. I am a Mama to 5 cats & one Golden/Brittany mix (who are not currently in my home & in Maine as they transition here). I have owned two special needs cata that required medication, special requirements and sub-q fluids at home - I am happy to care for any special requirements. I also do a lot of pet photography and would be overjoyed to take your pets photos! I'm excited to meet and bond with your fur babies! I work typical M-F hours and off on the weekends (and summer!). I will fully integrate their needs into my schedule and ensure their needs are met and they are happy, safe and healthy. I will treat your pets as my own while you are away. I am very affectionate and attentive and truly seek to connect with your baby. I'm happy to send pictures and videos as much as you like! I'd like to connect not only with them, but you and hopefully be a trusted person to rely on when you need care for your animals.
“Lesley was wonderful! Very communicative and detail oriented, making sure she kept a good routine for our dog Lucy. She also did so many helpful household tasks like bringing in our mail and packages (some large) and refilling our dog food container for us before we got home. Would absolutely book again!”
“June took care of our two dogs for several days and was absolutely wonderful. She was clear and responsive in her communications before and during her stay. During the stay, it seems our dogs loved her and look to have had a great time while we were gone. We highly recommend June — and we look forward to working with her again!”
“Jackie was wonderful! She accommodated our request last minute—and sent great pictures of our puppy! If I were to travel to Wilmington again, I would feel very comfortable asking Jackie to help us again!”
“Lillie did a great job with her drop in and overnight visit with our Lexi. She is a very conscientious individual who kept us well Informed of everything that was happening while we were away. We felt extremely comfortable with her caring for our 15 year old cockapoo while we were away and we definitely will use her again in the future. Beth”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and absolutely love caring for animals! 🐾 I currently work at the University of Pennsylvania’s Ryan Veterinary Hospital, and my father is a critical care veterinary nurse, so animals and veterinary care have always been a big part of my life. I’m responsible, caring, and will treat your pets like my own! ❤️ I am currently available on weekends and Mondays and Fridays! I have availability Tuesday - Thursday after 6:30pm. I do have a full time job at UPenn’s Veterinary Hospital which is why my availability is limited Tuesday - Thursday. I unfortunately cannot care for pets in my home, as I have two cats of my own. I have no problem coming to your home and following any specific rules you may have for your own fur baby.
About: ever since I was younger, I’ve been infatuated with all kinds of animals. I even wanted to be a vet. I was the six-year-old that neighbors trusted to watch over their dogs while they stepped out for a second and I even taught them some tricks. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks well that’s a lie. I’ve done it myself. It just takes a little extra persistence. In my home life we have a dog and a bunny, and I’ve trained the dog to get along very well with the bunny. My dog also knows a handful of tricks where she can’t take a bow, shake hands and even spin in a circle. I am a freshly graduated high school student just looking to pay some of her debt from vet bills so I figured it might as well be something I enjoy while doing it. I do have a part-time job, but I am willing to free my calendar for you, and your pets needs! if you prefer me to be with you pets all day i need at least a two week notice so i can free up my time! I love all animals so I just plan to keep an eye on them, keep their brains teased and maybe even try to teach them a few tricks and do a few enrichment games like hide and seek where they have to use their nose or lick mats or even fetch it all just depends on the pet!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Quintynnes
Finding someone to take care of our sweet Maggie while we are away has always been a source of stress for me. Boarding especially was not an option for us due to the high level of stress it causes our girl, not to mention she doesn’t always get along with unfamiliar dogs. We knew we wanted to get a sitter this year who could come to the house and stay overnight with her to ease her anxiety while we were away on vacation. I am so so happy we came across Noelle’s profile! Maggie, who can sometimes be skittish with new people, took to Noelle IMMEDIATELY! Our meet and greet went wonderfully and we knew that Maggie would be in great hands while we were away! Noelle was attentive and provided us with daily updates, pictures, and videos. She even helped us out with collecting our mail, watering our flowers, and taking care of the trash! She truly went above and beyond. Most importantly, I felt confident Maggie was safe and happy in Noelle’s care. We already booked her for an extended weekend away we have coming up in a couple of months! The stress of finding appropriate care for Maggie while we are away has now vanished. We truly give Noelle our highest recommendation! Don’t hesitate - book her!
Stephanie was did a wonderful job taking Clara on her long walks and sent lots of pictures. The house was in perfect shape when we returned and we had peace of mind that our dog was well cared for on our first trip away from her. We will definitely book her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Quintynnes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 4,716 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Quintynnes. 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 Quintynnes 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 Quintynnes 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 Quintynnes 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.
