“Selena was great with Zoey. She had great communication and sent photos throughout her stay which really helped us feel reassured that she was being taken great care of. We’d definitely use selena again and highly recommend her.”
“Derek was fantastic. We booked a housesitting with him on very short notice (11 hours). He was great with our 3 dogs and 4 cats and kept the house clean. Thank you SO much.”
“Arianna was great with our two boys and was super helpful in setting up the house sitting appointment. She sent plenty of updates and pictures of our boys during the trip and kept everything under control around the house. Even our normally standoffish schnauzer warmed up to her by the end of her time! Would definitely recommend Arianna for your pet sitting or any other pet help needs.”
“Chelsea was very responsive and kept me well updated with texts and pictures while we were gone. It was my first time using rover and I was a little nervous, but everything went great!”
“Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Gina and are SO grateful to have found her. Lukee is a large pitbull mix recovering from TPLO surgery and needs extra help getting around with his harness. Gina's medical experience gave us so much peace of mind. She handled him gently and confidently and even spent time massaging him to keep him comfortable. When we ran late getting home, she stayed without hesitation and truly went above and beyond. We came home to a comfortable dog and felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, skilled pet care.”
“Corrinn was the best dogsitter! We needed someone for 9 days while traveling to California without kids and had our sitter fall through. She made it easy to pivot and was highly communicative throughout the entire process. Our pup was so happy to have her company and we loved the check ins knowing that our dog was in good hands. Would highly recommend!!”
“Words cannot express how outstanding Janelle is with your fur babies - her commitment, genuine care, patience, and good nature is hands down the best we have seen in a per sitter (and I am in the veterinary industry). We are definitely over protective - My husband and I just lost two of our senior pets recently, and now down to our last, 14.5 year old Yorkie who is very challenging at times. But not too challenging for Janelle because she took the time to build trust with our Betsey and spent everyday for a week with her. She sent us regular updates with photos and we were able to have a wonderful vacation! We highly recommend Janelle - you won’t be disappointed!”
“Eva was amazing with our dog Lola. Took her on walks, kept to her schedule, and gave her lots of love and belly rubs. She sent us daily pictures and let us know how things were going. We could not have asked for a better sitter and she definitely is a dog lover. Lola was sorry to see her go.”
About: I grew up with farm animals (goats, horses, chickens, etc.) so I have always been around animals. I have done dog sitting before for the past 2 years. I grew up with 2-3 dogs in the home at all times. I just got into training my dog we have at home so I have some experience training dogs but not a lot. I have experience with all ages of dogs, I love all the ages!! Since I’m currently living at home while going to college, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my day around walks, feeding times, potty breaks and I’m home often, so pets get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I offer doggy daycare, boarding, walks, feeding, playtime, and general care based on your pet’s needs. I make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and calm environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I am responsible, attentive, and always make sure each pet is supervised and cared for properly. I also understand how important trust is, so I provide regular photo and message updates to keep you informed and at ease while you’re away. We currently have one dog in the home, we are fostering her but might keep her to adopt. She is a 2 year old, husky/german shepard mix! She loves to play and have fun. LIVE ON BASE!! If you can’t get on, we can schedule a time that works for both of us to meet for pick up/drop off!
“Monica is a terrific dog sitter. I would recommend her. She took care of my five dogs without any incident that I am aware of.😂 we would definitely use her again. She sent us the cutest pictures and had great communication.”
“Our dogs LOVE when Gracie stays with them! They’re so well cared for and adored while we’re gone. We strongly recommend having Gracie sit for you!”
About: As a German Shepherd Husky owner, I’m fully equipped to handle dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Raising a high-drive breed has given me hands-on experience with confident leash handling, safe play, and providing the physical exercise and mental engagement active dogs need. Safety, reliability, and patience are my top priorities. Whether following strict feeding routines, managing high energy, or ensuring a calm de-stressing environment, I care for every pet with the same vigilance I give my own. You’ll always get prompt communication and daily photo updates for total peace of mind. I’m currently looking for work so my schedule is open! Let me know what you typically prefer when it comes to your pet care and I should be able to accommodate. As a German Shepherd/Husky owner, safe handling and environment control are second nature to me. My home is set up to keep pets comfortable, secure, and stress-free: Double-Door & Leash Protocol: I maintain strict door awareness to prevent door-darting or escape attempts. Leashes are always secured before doors open. Hazards Picked Up: All electrical cords, small household items, human food, and toxic plants are kept out of reach at all times. Controlled Introductions: I never force interactions between animals. All pets are introduced slowly and on-leash in neutral areas to ensure everyone feels safe. Routine & Medical Adherence: I strictly follow your feeding schedules, crate routines, and medication protocols. Emergency Preparedness: I keep contact info for your preferred vet and the nearest local 24/7 emergency clinic on hand at all times.
“My two hyper Golden Retrievers were well taken care of. Mallory kept me informed and sent me lots of pictures, which helped this anxious dog-mom relax and enjoy her vacation.”
“Kayla was amazing! My dogs were so comfortable with her and her daughter. They gave them so many snuggles and took them for walks. She sent feedback regularly (including pictures) which I appreciated! Would book her again without hesitation!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunbury
This is the first time I had Shirine come out and watch my two fur babies. She came over for a meet and greet prior to her watching the cats. She was very easy to talk to about all my concerns regarding my two cats and their anxiety issues. I felt at ease once I met her in person. While I was gone Shirine checked in to give me updates via texts on Cooper and CeCe and even sent pictures a few times so I could see how they were doing. When I came home the cats were fine and the house was as I left it. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sunbury is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,466 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sunbury. 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 Sunbury 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 Sunbury 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 Sunbury 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
