“Giving a big shout out to Lisa. She stayed with our 2 dogs, while we were away. I usually send them to a kennel, lots of anxiety for both the dogs & myself. This time we decided to try Rover & found Lisa, who did an excellent job. My pups were so much happier getting to stay in their own home. Lisa took great care of them! Will definitely check on her availability next time we go away! Thank you so much! ???”
“I have had Jenny housesit it for me a few times now and this time was no different - absolutely wonderful! My dogs love her! My pups are able to stay in their routines and comfortable at home. I recommend her wholeheartedly!”
About: Hello! I have provided for a variety of animals, from dogs and cats, to fish, reptiles, and axolotl‘s! I’ve had experience with giving animals medications, specifically insulin if required, and I am ready for any requests that would make you and your pets feel more comfortable. High energy pets are no issue for me, and i’d love to be able to work with them and get them outside for some exercise. Given the opportunity, i’d be excited to meet you and your pets, and to give them the care they deserve! I am currently working full time from 8:30-4:30 Monday-Friday, and occasionally Saturday mornings. Because of this, I am only comfortable with house-sitting animals that are comfortable making it throughout the 8 hour workday without being outside. Of course, i’d be there up until I leave for work, and again immediately when I get off. Weeknights and the weekends are free for me, and i’d love any chance to meet some new furry faces, and treat them as if they were my own! I have two kitties of my own at home, so I am unable to accommodate pets there, but I’d love to meet your pet in your home where they are comfortable! I am extremely detail oriented, so if your pet requires specific instructions, I’d be more than happy to accommodate that! Your house will be in even better condition than you left it, with a happy furry friend waiting for you! If you’d like, i’d also love to send photos of your pet(s) along with any updates while away so you can see how they are doing!
“Jaclyn was so kind and loving to my animals, I barely thought about them knowing they were in such good hands! She was respectful and gave me a lot of updates (pictures). Would definitely book again! Thanks ?”
“Alicia was so incredibly kind to our fur babies We went away on a day trip and she came to hang out at our house, She is very thorough and loving to our two pups, very attentive and professional! 10 out of 10 recommend”
“Dawn stayed with our pup and cats while we were away on vacation, and we came home to happy and healthy kiddos and a tidy house! She sent pictures while we were away and had good feedback and updates when we returned. We felt so comfortable with our pets in her care!”
About: I cat sit for my neighbor for long periods of time when she goes away. I’ve been an animal owner since the age of 3. Currently I’m in school for nursing but don’t have classes Monday and Wednesday as well as the weekend. Those days I’m hoping to spend time with pets. Caring for pets in my home I will have them on a leash if outside just in case they like to run away. At a clients home I’ll follow the directions to ensure perfect pet care.
“If you looking for a great sitter look no further! Whitney is awesome! She took care of our 2 fur babies over a course of a week and she was great. We got pictures everyday and they looked so happy to be with her. I’m glad that we found Whitney, super trustworthy and a great person. In the future is she is available I would book her again. Thanks for everything!”
“I cannot recommend Blythe enough! She stayed at my home to watch my high-energy dog, and she handled him like an absolute pro. He can be a handful, but Blythe kept him exercised, entertained, and totally comfortable the entire time. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy and tired pup! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring—book Blythe. She went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Victoria was great and accommodating! She took great care of our animals and responded to our requests without hesitation. Sent photos and checked in adequately. Would highly recommend and will use her again in the future when needed.”
“Camryn was absolutely wonderful! She was able to meet and exceed all our expectations! Our pups absolutely loved her and she took the best care of them! We will definitely be asking Camryn to watch our girls again.”
“Amanda was fabulous! Titan is deaf and has significant anxiety, so I was hesitant to book someone that I don’t know. Amanda was amazing with Titan and kept me up to date on what was happening the whole time I was gone. I 100000000% recommend her and will absolutely be requesting her services again!”
About: Experience volunteering at local cat cafe and caring for friends/family’s pets. Just like dogs, I also look forward to taking my own daily walks! :) I’m the proud mom of 2 cats and I specialize in caring for pets with anxiety. My main job is as a dance teacher, so I only work after school/work ends for our students. This leaves my mornings and mid-days free for walks and furry friends! I am always respectful of clients’ property (and pets of course)! My house currently does not accept pets but I love spending time outside and stopping by to provide needed care.
“We came home to happy dogs and a clean house! Sierra sent daily updates and pictures, which makes it so much easier to leave my dogs to travel. We will definitely have Sierra again, it’s so great to have someone we can rely on and trust.”
“Madison did excellent watching our house and pets. She ensured that all their needs were met and the house was very well cared for. The dogs were very happy and tired when we got home. Would recommend Madison to anyone!”
About: Hi we’re Linda and Tyler, Lifelong animal lover with a goofy, friendly husky who keeps us active and smiling every day! Daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love are already part of my routine, and would love to share that with your fur baby too. Your pet will be treated like family in my care—whether they need exercise, attention, belly rubs, or just a comfy companion. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Bonus: my husky loves making new friends, and I also share his funny adventures on social media for fellow pet lovers to enjoy! I dedicate quality time to every pet and treat pet care seriously—whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or dog boarding. I make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, comfort, and care based on their needs. You’ll also receive lots of picture updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. Communication is very important to me, and I always keep pet parents updated and informed. I offer dog boarding in a safe home with a fenced yard for plenty of supervised playtime, as well as walks and house sitting. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and will make sure they receive lots of exercise, love, and care, along with regular photo updates.
“This is a five star human being!!! my travels required me to leave before Dani was to arrive. There was some minor chaos when she arrived being a new venue and canine companion. Because I was traveling by air, I did not get to speak to her until after the fact… when we finally connected, she explained in full detail everything that transpired and that it had been handled and her and Rocky were enjoying a TV program!!! Dani is an extremely responsible, capable friend, friendly assistant! Rocky has already put in a request for her return !!!! Our home was in better organization than when I left!! Extremely awesome experience!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sunbury on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 168 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 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 Sunbury. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
