“Our two dogs are extremely wary of strangers and don't get along with other dogs, so having someone dog sit in our home was our only option. Amelia was gracious enough to come visit us and the meet with the girls at least 6-7 times over a two month period. By the time we left, the girls were as comfortable with Amelia as they were with us. While we were gone, Amelia sent updates and pictures for the 12 days we were gone. I would highly recommend Amelia to others and will definitely use her again.”
“We cannot recommend Angela highly enough! Angela provided peace of mind during our vacation and our four furry kids were calm and happy when we returned. It is clear that they were happy, cared for, and stress-free while we were gone. One of our dogs is a bit more nervous than the others, so Angela dropped in a few times leading up to our trip to help our pup get used to her. I cannot imagine this experience going any better!”
“He is very prompt with replies and Harvey is usually anxious but he seemed to be so relaxed around Jason even though it’s his first time. We requested for photos and updates every one hour to which he happily obliged. 😊☺️ I would gladly recommend him!”
“Erika was very communicative. She provided twice daily oral medication to our senior dog, Thor and gave daily updates. Erika left the house very clean too. It was so nice to come home to a happy dog. We will definitely book again!”
“super attentive to my concerns and the care of my pets. followed their routine to a T and provided lots of updates and pictures. took great care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats and communicated quickly and efficiently with me. when i came back my house was in amazing shape and all of my pets were very happy and calm.”
“Vanessa was great! I was recovering from a hospital stay and needed all day sit in at my home to care for my lab. Vanessa was the perfect match and my dog loved her instantly. Highly recommended and I will book again as needed.”
“Michelle is an excellent sitter, Chloe’s feel in love with her. She spent time with making Chloe feel comfortable with her, and Chloe does. Chloe was waiting for her every morning. I wouldn’t want anyone else. Thank you so much Michelle!!!”
“We were really happy that Taylor was able to housesit for Sushi and Fish. They apparently enjoyed the attention she gave them, and they were really relaxed when we got home - not stressed as if they had been abandoned. We'd love to have Taylor take care of them again.”
“Kim is so sweet !!! As a dog owner I always hate having to leave my girls anywhere but Kim is such a good dog caretaker and I could have ease knowing my girls were in good hands !! Got updates as the day went on ! And she took the time to love and care for the girls !! 10/10”
About: I have always had a love for dogs and enjoying spending time with animals. I am newer to pet sitting, but I am dependable, active, patient, and committed to helping your pet feel comfortable and cared for! Wether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping your dog company, I will treat them with the same kindness and attention I’d want for my own pet! I also know how much trust it takes to leave your pet—or your home—in someone else’s care. That’s why I prioritize clear communication and reliability. I’m happy to send regular photo updates, texts, or calls so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I am currently a full-time student and work part-time at gyms making my own schedule. I am flexible and can make time for your needs. I am available in the mornings and afternoons for walks. Along with random times in the day for potty breaks/attention. When caring for pets in client’s homes, I respect their routines and make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water and lots of love. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and trust their pets are being well cared for.
“Bethany was absolutely fantastic with our pups! Above and beyond, we got lots of pictures and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were in great hands! Highly recommend Bethany to anyone who needs a sitter! She was fantastic to work with!”
“I booked Megan for a second time. This time was for a long weekend trip and she was again amazing with my pup. Stuck to his walk and food schedule. Included photos of my pup while I was away. Communication was strong and I didn’t have to worry about anything while on vacation. 100% recommend!”
“Sydney has watched our house and pets a couple of times. We hope she'll keep coming back. She's very attentive and sweet with them. Very considerate and communicative with us. We appreciate her very much!”
“Ivy really went above and beyond for me today and honestly saved my trip from the beginning. I needed to leave a day earlier than I originally planned and Ivy accommodated a booking into her schedule a day earlier. When she arrived (on time both times) however my gremlin of a dog gave her 30-45 minutes of terror in which she sat on the floor to show she wasn’t a threat. We communicated and agreed she’d try again a couple hours later after he finished a bone I stupidly gave him before I walked out of the door. Her patience and skill kept me from having to turn around and drive 6 hours home and cancel my trip. When she came back he acted as a grown dog and she was able to walk and feed him! Based on these events I would hire Ivy again and suggest her to other pet parents.”
“Ann was a spectacular sitter. She kept us updated on how Fiona was doing at all times. She was extremely communicative and incredibly nurturing towards Fiona. We truly felt at peace while we were away. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, caring sitter. We know we will definitely be using again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Five Points on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 948 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Five Points. 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 Five Points 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 Five Points 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 Five Points 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.

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.
