“I'm so glad Sonya was available to watch my dog. I’m sure, he couldn’t be in better hands. If I ever need again someone to watch him, I’ll definitely contact her without doubt. So happy with her services.”
“10/10 would let her dog sit again. Came back to my home cleaner somehow and some very happy doggos. Really good communication, even when I'm in the backcountry with no signal. You can definitely trust her with your home and pets.”
About: Do you find yourself busy on the weekends? Or exhausted after a long day of work? Is it raining or snowing and all you want to do is kick back and relax? Whatever you’ve got going on, I’ve got you. I have a true love for dogs and enjoy walking them anytime during the day. I have grown up around dogs and am very intuitive to their needs. I am laid back and responsible and I will keep your fur baby safe and happy on our walks together! I also love to brush cats and dogs, especially when they need to have their spring/winter coats brushed out! I have an open schedule! I love to take care of my cats daily and also take care of my friends dog when they are away on work trips. My routine involves a long walk in the morning usually but I’m also known to enjoy an evening walk. I have flexible scheduling! I have a fenced in yard that I can play fetch with your dog. I live with cats and ensure they are well fed, groomed and happy. I love playing with cats and dogs. I have a talent for encouraging cats and dogs to eat as well if they need enticing. I love to take long walks in nature.
“Jayden watched and walked my dogs for me. He didn't miss a walk and was great with my dogs! Which is important! I would recommend Jayden to anyone! Thank you Jayden for your great work!”
“Autumn spent a week with Julie and her family and she had a great time! It was the first time we left her with someone outside our family and it was such a relief to know she was in good hands and in a family setting. She is definitely going to miss Julie’s dog Coco!”
“Katie was seriously so great. Our dog has a list of needs, and she handled all of them amazingly! Our dog Koda is reactive to people, the TV, and other animals and he is on 2 types of medication. He can be very hard to handle without the right knowledge or patience. Katie came in and stayed 2 nights with him and he did great. Koda loved her and probably wouldnt have minded if she stayed longer! She left our home clean and our dog well cared for. I would recommend her 1000x over. If you want an amazing dog walker/sitter Katie is the way to go!!”
“Walter’s next level guru with dogs. Our dog, Crackle is a sighthound (Whippet) and she’s very peculiar who she’s left with, especially males. I was a bit nervous at first, but Walter’s presence and expertise put my mind right at ease. He’s so attentive to details, safety-focused and reliable. I’m so happy to have found him on here and feel confident that I would recommend his services to anyone in need. If you’re reading this and thinking twice, this is your signal to give him a chance. I assure you he’s the best sitter/walker on Roover and you won’t be disappointed! Thanks again Walter!”
“Amazing experience, she is so professional and kind. She arrived early to go over notes, super attentive and articulate during the meet and greet and Posto was happy and tired afterwards.”
About: I’ve cared for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds and fish. I have a very safe, clean, calm and loving home to take care for your fur baby. I am currently working afternoons but at home in the morning and night. I am also available most weekends 24 hours a day to provide loving care. I have a large house in a quiet neighbourhood. The property has a big fenced in yard where your fur baby is safe and can freely roam.
“Victoria was excellent with my pups and great to keep me updated throughout the weekend with pictures and what they were up to. Very sweet girl and will definitely use again in the future :)”
About: I have owned animals since I was a kid. I just recently had my dog pass away and I am very keen on looking after your fur baby like they were my own! My passion is to work with animals. I currently live in an apartment so I’m looking for dog walks or dog sits but once I have a house I will be open to boarding!! As long as your dog gets along with other animals I will be able to allow them in my home ☺️ I do live in an apartment but constantly go outside as I have a dog of my own. I also go on trail walks around the area and can take them to the dog park if allowed.
“Lisa is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my pup Henry and treated him like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in loving and capable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants the best for their fur babies!”
About: I’m currently studying animal science and have hands-on experience caring for my own dog. I also volunteer as a veterinary assistant in clinics, where I’ve gained skills in animal handling, health monitoring, and basic care. Additionally, I spent time in Costa Rica working with animals, which helped me build confidence with different breeds and temperaments. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I’m a student with a flexible schedule. I plan my days around classes, which allows me to dedicate consistent time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m available mornings, evenings, and most weekends, and I always make sure pets get reliable attention and care. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine when caring for pets in any home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep spaces clean and secure, and pay close attention to behavior and health. With my experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m confident handling pets calmly and recognizing any concerns early. I always aim to create a stress-free, loving environment.
About: I love dogs and going on long walks; it’s the best of both worlds! I have worked with dogs of various ages, energy levels, and behaviour. Whether your dog likes to run, play, and walk for hours, or just likes to chill with a pal, I got it! I have worked with puppies and older dogs, reactive dogs when other dogs are near, feeding dogs medication, beep collars, crate-trained dogs, etc. I’d love to meet your fur-friends, learn more about them, and will happily accompany them on walks and play time! I am currently working part-time, more so in the evenings, so I have plenty of time from early mornings til 2-4 that I can walk your pups and provide pet care. As it is only part-time, I am still able to work evenings sometimes! I am in school from Sept.-April, therefore I have plenty of time for long walks and pet care now and am available to be your daily morning dog-walker! I do not offer pet care in my home, although am able to provide pet care in a clients home! All of my pet care experience has been in other people’s homes, whether it was dropping in for a potty break, quick walk, or a long walk, even last minute! I have also provided pet care staying overnight in a client’s home for a minimum of 1 night-2.5 weeks. I may not be able to get time off of my part-time job when staying in a client’s home so I hope it is okay if I am gone for 4-8 hours in the evening for a couple of the evenings, if it falls on the days I am scheduled. I have always made sure to time out feeding and walks according to my work schedule when needed.
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment where every dog is treated like family. I understand that each dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to provide personalized care, whether it’s an energetic puppy, an adult dog, or a senior companion. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable administering oral medications, following feeding schedules, providing regular exercise, and giving plenty of affection. I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, so they can feel confident their furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to make every dog’s stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive timely feedings, walks (for dogs), playtime, companionship, and any medications they may need. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and make their comfort and well-being a priority. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾 I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In my home, I create a clean, safe, and calm environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise (for dogs), fresh water, regular meals, and a comfortable place to rest. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions to maintain the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love and companionship. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so they always know their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾
About: I've been a pet parent for about 14 years. Currently, I have 2 dogs and a cat, and they are my whole world 🩷 Whether it’s energetic dogs or independent cats, I will adjust my care to fit their needs. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure pets feel loved and safe in their own space. My goal is simple: you leave with peace of mind, and ensure your pets are happy and cared for. I work full-time in the legal field, and work from home 4 days of the week. If needed (and depending on distance of course), I can jump offline throughout the day to check in on your fur babes. Otherwise, my general day to day routine after work consists of the gym and hanging out with my own fur babies (and the husband when he's not out working on his trucks). I will treat every visit like I’m spending time with my own babies (lots of love, patience, and fun). I will stick to your pet’s regular feeding schedule, walking, play routines, give them extra attention, and make sure they’re feeling happy and cared for. I’ll keep your home just as you left it and send you photo updates so you can relax knowing everything’s going smoothly.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - St. Thomas
Katelyn was fantastic house sitting our dog for 2 days. We've never left our dog with a stranger before and our dog generally struggles with us being away but she felt so comfortable with Katelyn, which says a lot about Katelyn's personality and her genuine love and care for dogs. Katelyn was responsible, attentive, made sure that she knew our dog's routines, and followed through with several particular instructions pertaining to our dog. She also was wonderful in sending us updates and pictures of our dog and we could see how well our dog bonded with her. We truly felt that our dog was well cared for. I definitely will be using Katelyn again in the future and I completely recommend her to anyone who's looking for a considerate and responsible dog sitter!
Appreciated Dannie’s ability to work around my changing schedule. Dannie was terrific in responding to messages and coming out to meet the crew and go over their routines and various aspects of the house. Dannie was also terrific with the 3 cats and sent me photos and updates. They are indoor outdoor cats and she managed that well plus keeping the bird feeder topped up. Washing was done before I arrived home to a home cooked meal and some lovely flowers. I would highly recommend Dannie. A responsible and caring sitter. You will feel comfortable and confident leaving her to be in charge.
Autumn spent a week with Julie and her family and she had a great time! It was the first time we left her with someone outside our family and it was such a relief to know she was in good hands and in a family setting. She is definitely going to miss Julie’s dog Coco!

FAQs for House Sitting - St. Thomas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in St. Thomas on Rover is $46.62 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 299 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across St. Thomas. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in St. Thomas 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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 St. Thomas walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 St. Thomas 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
