“Jenn is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our furry babies! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our puppies!”
“Nicole was very kind and responsible. She sent lots of pictures and spent plenty of time making sure my 3 month old puppy was happy and well rested. I would book her again in the future!”
About: Have only had 9 months total of my life without a dog or a pack of them by my side. Your fur baby will be fostered as one of my own; their walk, run, or potty break is all about them! With guidance from you, we will move at their pace. If they want to go for a run... then we run! If they prefer to walk tree to tree and smell every flower, that's fine too! I am available early mornings and mid-days during the week. I also have availability nightly to check on the pups and make sure they're ready for bed. I look forward to meeting the needs of your family, if it be walking or running the dogs, or making sure they are comfortable in your home, just let me know. I am fortunate enough to have a remote role, so my schedule is usually set to my own dog's needs. I am by no means a gym rat or a marathon runner. Yet that doesn't stop me from getting in usually 2-6 miles a day, both walking and running. While my dog is crate trained, it would be great if yours is as well, for those few errands that may take me away for up to 4 hours at a time (a busy week would be 3 half days in the office)
“I am so appreciative of having Lorene as my dog sitter for our recent vacation. She kept us updated with a daily report, added some cute pictures, and learned more of the dogs’ quirks making it a great fit. We knew we could travel without any worries because she took great care of my boys. They loved hanging out with her and Cash even took on the role of “work supervisor”. Would highly recommend Lorene for any of your dog needs.”
“Gabriela was a great house sitter for our energetic Aussie pup. Good communication, she sent us lots of pics. and kept him active and well exercised the entire week of our trip and everything was nocely in order when we arrived home. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Abigail did a fantastic job!! She was on time, reliable, left our home in great condition, exceeded our expectations, and our fur-babies absolutely loved her! I came home briefly to grab an item, and found them all curled up on the sofa together. It was such a relief to know that my home and my animals were in good hands. We will definitely be using her again, and totally recommend her to anyone seeking quality pet care. Thank you, Abigail!”
“Hannah was amazing! She took care of Ella like if she was her own.. She house sitted and kept everything immaculate. Sent updates and pictures which was very comforting. She is the best!”
“Brooke was absolutely fantastic! We had her do a drop in visit as well as an overnight stay. Our pup can be a bit anxious around new people but she very quickly warmed up to Brooke and was snuggling in no time. Brooke was easy to communicate with, shared lots of updates and cute photos, and left our house in great condition. She was also punctual. We would absolutely trust her to watch our dog again!”
“Tatum did an amazing job caring for our high maintenance senior pets; especially our special needs Bernedoodle Rocky. Rocky has debilitating anxiety; needing medication at specific times (3.5 hours before you can leave him alone) and she handled it great. Our cat Smokey is afraid of everyone, except Tatum - she's an animal whisperer.”
“Steph is wonderful. She is considered and extremely polite. She took great care of our two boys and sent us daily updates and pictures. The boys looked happy and relaxed enjoying their time with Steph. She also took care of my hydrangeas that did not like the heat. We will definitely be using her when we are out of town again. Thank you Steph and Rover”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little, I’ve always got along with animals and know how to contain their messes and accidents. This will be my only job in this current moment! I am very flexible and open to chatting about any arrangements. We can always try to work something out around your schedule! I try to keep a constant eye on all animals to ensure their safety and enjoyment! I always keep them entertained or snuggle up with them!
“Faith was amazing watching our senior dog! She gave great updates and sent lots of cute pictures! We were gone for a week and came home to a well kept house and a happy dog. We would love to have Faith watch our dog again anytime!”
“Beth watched our three dogs during the holidays are our house. One of our pups is a little shy and can be mean to strangers. Beth was patient and loving and our pup warmed up to her in only a couple of hours! Thanks Beth!”
“Finding someone who wants to pet sit two Great Danes is no easy task, but Elizabeth is an absolute natural! From the moment she came over for the initial meet-and-greet, she was so wonderful with them that they were genuinely upset when she left. She did an incredible job house-sitting and taking care of my giant pups in their own environment. She even went above and beyond by tolerating both of them crowding her on the bed—anyone with Danes knows they are world-class bed hogs! I could tell they were safe, loved, and thoroughly spoiled the entire time. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a top-tier pet sitter. In fact, I’m pretty sure my dogs are secretly hoping I travel again just so they can spend more time with her! 😊”
About: I love animals, especially dogs, and spend a lot of my free time volunteering at local shelters. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and disabilities. Currently I am caring for two dogs with disabilities long term: and elderly French Bulldog with partial paralysis, and a young pittie mix with three legs due to a car accident. These dogs require equal amounts of patience and love when being cared for, as well as extra attention and physical aid with mobility (ex. going up and down stairs) I'm someone who genuinely loves animals, and would do this for free if everything wasn't so expensive now. I will take the time to socialize and get to know your pet so they are comfortable, relaxed, and overjoyed when I arrive. I also have a medical background which makes me very comfortable dealing with pet medications and special needs. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan around my clients schedules and ensure I am free to care for your pet almost any day and time. I take care of two disabled dogs full time, they require extra care and attention but you can expect that same level from me when I care for any pet. You can expect me to tailor the experience to your specific doggos needs, to socialize and play with them, and to make sure they're always overjoyed when I stop by. I have good attention to detail and a medical background which allows me to handle any special needs or routines your pet has.
“Darlin was fantastic with our pups, as usual! She always sends detailed updates with pictures twice daily that show how happy and loved our dogs are. The house is left perfectly clean after she stays - she is a wonderful and respectful guest! I recommend Darlin to everyone!”
About: I’ve grown up in a home with multiple pets and have extensive experience caring for animals. Over the years, neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. I’m also a four-time foster parent with the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA, where I’ve cared for animals in need and helped prepare them for adoption. I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m fully available on weekends to give your furry family my complete attention and care! I’m available anytime after 5:00 PM on Fridays through Sundays. I’m a true animal lover and will care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I prioritize being present and attentive to their needs, making sure they always feel safe and supported—wherever they are, I’m right there with them.

Diane was fantastic. Communicated exceptionally well from the beginning. Made us feel comfortable with messages, pics and texts of our two boys. It was our first time leaving our 7 month old and we felt at ease throughout our trip. Sweet disposition with animals and very thankful for her assistance.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sudley Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 9,353 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sudley 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 Sudley 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 Sudley 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 Sudley 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.
