“Danielle was kind and very professional. She treated our dog just like he was her own and even sent updates along the way. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Claire stayed at our house and watched our 16 year old cat for three nights and did an excellent job. He requires daily medication and lots of attention and she made sure that he had both. We really appreciated her communication with as while we were gone and she left the house in great shape!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was nine years old. I am comfortable with big dogs (grew up with wolf hybrids and Great Pyrenees) and love to spend time with kitties. I have experience caring for sick and diabetic cats. I work from home three days a week and would absolutely love to spend my day making sure your furry friends have good company. I work as a reporter, so my schedule can be a tad unpredictable at times, but as long as we have a set understanding I wll make sure to be there for your loved ones I cannot offer a place to stay at my apartment (not allowed in my lease) but am more than happy to come to you and yours.
“My dogs were disappointed when we got home because they wanted to spend more time with their bestie, Emily. It was so comforting knowing that they were being well cared for while we were gone! The consistent photos and updates were very appreciated!”
“Destanee dog/chicken/house sat for us for almost 3 weeks and she did a fantastic job. Dogs were super happy and well cared for and the house was clean and as we left it. The chicken coop was nice and clean and they were all still there! We’d recommend Destanee as she clearly cares a lot about animals and is very respectful and responsible.”
“Krista- Is the best. She took care of our dog while we experienced travel woes. She took care of our house & our dog & that made our stressful travel a little less bad knowing that part was taking care of. She really is the best!!!!!!!”
“Morgan gave us and our dog exactly what we needed in order to leave on our first trip away. We became dog owners about 4 months ago to a sometimes skittish 1 year old pup, and we decided for our first extended absence that having a house sitter who could take care of our dog in his home environment would be best. Morgan came and met Moxie ahead of time with a drop in visit, and then stayed for two weeks at our house while we were away. She understood Moxie's needs and general behaviors right away, was able to quickly coax him into a new routine within the first few days of our absence, and had him happily wearing himself out on long walks and backyard play time for the rest of our trip. We received daily updates and were able to discuss any questions or concerns we had along the way, and Morgan also pitched in on general home care while we were gone, bringing in mail and watering plants. It was a huge relief having a competent caregiver and clear communicator looking after our dog while we were away and allowed us to focus on family vacation knowing Moxie was in good hands. Thanks very much, Morgan!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Unionville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 77 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Unionville. 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 Unionville 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 Unionville 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 Unionville 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
