Candace has been absolutely amazing with our dogs! We traveled from PA to the lake in VA for our daughter’s college graduation, and Candace from Rocky Mount met us there beforehand. Our dogs loved her right away and felt comfortable with her before we even left. The day before graduation, we had to head to NC, and Candace stayed with them—spending the whole day, overnight, and into the next day until we returned. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. I could tell they were relaxed and content when we got back. I highly recommend Candace to anyone looking for a reliable, loving dog sitter!

Amber did a great job. She was very communicative with us, sending pictures and messages throughout the weekend. Shadeaux seemed very relaxed and happy when we got home. We would definitely book her again!

About: The benefits of dogs swimming are tremendous! Whether it's releasing energy in younger pups or offering joint pain relief in seniors, I am excited to offer dog swimming as a service in my outdoor pool. This service includes pickup/drop-off, a half an hour swim with life jacket, one on one swim coaching, picture and/or video of your pup and a post swim shower. This service is listed under Doggy Day Care for $100. Feel free to message me with any questions or set up a meet and greet at your house. I have completed training as a dog groom technician and work part time at a local grooming salon. I have experience in handling dogs of any age, especially seniors. I understand the extra care and attention senior pups should have. I also love the energy in younger pups and embrace the opportunity to provide them with effective, yet enjoyable exercise. In addition to walking dogs, I am also a trained dog groomer technician. This allows me flexibility to accommodate various scheduling needs. Feel free to message me with any questions regarding scheduling or availability. The safety of your pet is my first priority. I will only take on one client per visit and will only handle two or more dogs if they live in the same home.

About: Hi! My name is Jordan, and I’ve taken care of animals my entire life, i’m an animal lover as they say. We have had 3 dogs growing up: 2 boxers and a great dane; and now i have a dane of of my very own. I have excellent experience in animal care. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care in any way possible for their animals. I work from home and my job is INSANELY flexible. I come and go as i please for work; and make my own schedule/hours. So attending to your pet all day is no issue what so ever. I am a die hard animal lover, so I would care for your pet the way I care for mine. The only “downside” to my in house dog sitting, in your home; is that my pup would need to come with me. He is large but very gentle and gets along with anything you can think of. He is house trained, and EXTREMELY well mannered. He has been around dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, alpacas, llamas, and yes; a camel. He is my barn pup so he’s very easy going and a gentle giant. I have experience in giving oral meds by hand, and adding meds onto food etc. I have a picky eater, so if you have a picky eater and need someone who can manage, i am your girl! I would rather hand feed your dog than them just not eat due to stress/anxiety. I am a picture guru, so you will receive pics even if you don’t ask for them. I only ask that you are honest with me when it comes to the needs your pet has and the needs you as an individual expect. I have been in the customer service industry for a very very long time; and communication is key, ALWAYS. Now that i’ve written a novel, i am easy to get ahold of with any questions, comments, or concerns! I look forward to caring for your critters! I am a full time work from home employee. I have full access to a very large front yard outside of my apartment complex, as well as a dog park 2 minutes away. I am able to feed at the given time suggested by clients as well as tend to potty needs as well. My job is beyond flexible, so pet care is definitely no issue in my home. I am able to care for your pets by providing multiple updates throughout your pets stay, as well as plenty of pictures. I am able to follow specific guidelines given to me by clients to ensure their pet has a safe stay at my home

About: I come from a family of animal lovers! Cared for birds, reptiles, cats, dogs etc. since as early as 8years old. My mom has been a vet tech and my sister has been a dog trainer for many years and I’ve learned a lot from them and feel very confident in caring for animals and love doing so. I work full time from 8am-5pm Monday through Friday and have an hour break at noon in which I’m able to come home if need be. I am able to watch your pet anytime during the week after 530. And anytime during the weekends. I have one pug that is very friendly and LOVES playing with other dogs big or small. He also loves and does well with other animals.

About: My love for animals began on my grandpas farm in NJ. From as young as I can remember we always had pets, from dogs to farm animals to mice you name it we had it. As I grew and started my own family we have always had dogs and cats. I now work full time as a veterinary technician and I am also a full time dog trainer. I have been training dogs for over 20 years. I am a certified K9 handler and also certified in K9 CPR. I would go before I go into work in the morning and let your pup out, feed and do some enrichment. Then go during my lunchtime and twice in the evening. If I have client dogs at my home I generally do not allow my dogs to have contact with clients dogs. My dogs are crated where they feel comfortable

About: I grew up on a small farm raising a variety of animals including dogs and cats. Sometimes what seems to be a mean animal is just a misunderstood animal that need extra time and attention and love. I have a pretty open schedule and would like to build relationships with animals and fellow animal lovers alike. Right now I only do other low commitment jobs like DoorDash and have time to fit you into my schedule. This is kind of a good and bad thing about me but I love an animal that loves food, and I enjoy rewarding them with treats for good behavior. I promise not to fatten up your pets too much though.

About: I am a "gentle giant" with a lifelong passion for animals and over 19 years of experience providing dedicated pet care. By trade, I work in the electric industry, which means dependability, safety, and attention to detail are built into everything I do. When you leave your home and your furry family members in my hands, you can rest easy knowing they are being watched by someone who is as responsible as they are soft-hearted With my background in electrical work, I am naturally observant and highly dependable. I treat your home with the same respect and care that I treat your pets. Animals truly take to me. I provide a calm, steady presence that helps even the most anxious pets feel safe and relaxed. I am also an avid photographer! You won't just get a "check-in" text; you’ll receive high-quality, beautiful photos of your pets throughout the day so you can see exactly how happy and settled they are. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a steady hand for medication, or just a big guy to curl up next to for a nap, I am here to provide the five-star care they deserve Please don't hesitate to reach out. I have a special place in my heart for senior animals. I understand that older pets require a patient, calm energy and a gentle touch. I am fully experienced in administering medications—whether it’s pills, liquids, or specialized care—and I am highly attuned to the subtle changes in a senior pet's comfort and behavior.

Steve and Wanda have been “baby sitting” my animals for a few times now but never as long as this trip we took for more than 30 days. They were awesome and looked after our animals as their own and also lived in our home and looked after everything like we would do ourselves. My neighbours will miss them I think … lol! They are definitely part of our community and I will ask them to look after my animals over and over as long as they can. Thank you Steve and Wanda for the way you leave my home, it is a pleasure returning and everything and everyone is happy and just great. I can recommend Steve and Wanda if you would like peace of mind that your animals will be loved and looked after like yourself. I am so grateful to them, thank you!

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog and watched my neighbors dog, making sure they are well fed, get enough time outside and feel loved while their families are away! I’m currently doing odd jobs over the summer and because of this, I am able to spend a lot of time with your pets! I will be out of the house periodically but will not be out longer than 3-4 hours at a time. I keep a clean and pet-friendly environment at home with plenty of space to relax and a backyard to run around and enjoy time outside. My family will also love spending time with your pet and giving them lots of attention!

Candace took such good care of our pups while we were gone. They're our golden retriever babies and used to us being home with them all the time. We were able to confidently take a 10-day, worry-free vacation with our pups in Candace's care. She made sure our pups got lots of love and attention and kept in good communication with us sharing photos and updates. She's fabulous! I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to care for your fur-babies like family.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sydnorsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Sydnorsville on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 230 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sydnorsville. 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 Sydnorsville 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 Sydnorsville 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 Sydnorsville 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 Sydnorsville. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
