“This was my first time having Brandon watch Gracie. At our meet and greet, Gracie took right to him which is very unusual for her. I'm always nervous leaving my girl with someone new. Brandon was great about keeping me updated with pictures and texts daily. I had a lot of packages delivered while I was gone. Brandon took them all in and neatly put them in the dining room, He waited until I got back home to leave even though I told him he could go before I got there. I would definitely use Brandon again and would recommend him to anyone who needed great dog sitter.”
“Kinsey worked very hard to care for our energetic one year old dog. It can be very hard and probably a little overwhelming. I appreciate her communication. Thank you Kinsey!”
“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”
“Mia is wonderful! She took such good care of our new puppy who can be a handful at times. She sent updates and pictures and we actually stayed to chat afterwards and she is a lovely young woman. Will hire her again and again. Highly recommend!”
“We were extremely happy with our recent experience with Jenna. Our pre-meeting and setup was easy and Lola took to her right away. On the day of our travel, Jenna let us know when she arrived and we received timely communications including photos during the week. Some of the photos showed Jenna playing with Lola. When we returned, Lola seemed well adjusted and cared for. On our last day, Jenna texted us to wish us a safe journey home. When we got home our house was clean with no traces of anyone living there. Much appreciated.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my entire life and have had over 12 years of daily hands on experience caring for my own dog. I’ve also helped friends and neighbors with walking, feeding, potty breaks, and drop in care. I currently work with children, so I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and comfortable handling different personalities and needs. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I work part time Monday through Friday in the afternoons from 2 pm to 6 pm. I’ll start working full time in the summer. However, until June I can conduct my services in mornings. I’ll always be available evenings after 7:00 PM I greet the pets by petting them as soon as I enter the clients home. I will then let them out and will wait until they are by the door to let them in. I also actively supervise the animals and don’t let them leave my sight while being on the clients property. I make sure they are inside the clients home and their cages if one is required before leaving the clients property.
About: I currently have 2 of my own doggos at my family’s home and a cat who lives with me. I absolutely adore pets, I grew up with both cats and dogs. I've dog sat for friends and family many times before and I've attended training sessions with one of my family’s dogs. At this time I am able to dog/cat walk and sit any days of the week. I can do drop ins as well as overnights. I provide lots of love, follow any and all instructions provided, and keep owners up to date on how their furry friends are doing while they are away.
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Riley stayed in our home for 3 nights and took such wonderful care of our dogs. When we returned, our home was spotless and our pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Her communication was excellent throughout our trip—she sent us plenty of photos each day, which gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and in great hands. We’ll absolutely reach out to her again the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Sienna is great! She is awesome at communicating and very loving to our Buddy. She spent lots of time with him and left the house exactly as we left it. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Kristin did a great job! She gave lots of updates and sent plenty of pictures so I never had to worry about my pets while I was gone! Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Marissa was very responsible. I had peace of mind that she was caring for my doggies. Especially for my dog that requires medication several times a day. I will definitely request her services again. Hopefully very soon!”
“Mindy was amazing! From the beginning to end, she was flexible, understanding and helpful. She was extremely communicative and took great care of our fur baby and our home. We got lots of pictures and updates while we were gone and would 100% use Mindy again! Thank you again Mindy!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! From the moment we met, it was clear how genuinely kind, attentive, and experienced Isabella is. My Babies were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved, which says everything. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos—they gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can fully trust. I’ll absolutely be booking again!”
About: I’ve always had and been around family pets. Pets are such a blessing to each and every family. I’d love to help those of you who may need a little extra help while you’re out making money for their treats and toys I have full time availability. Any hour of any day will work, I just need a heads up. As long as I can have hours for self care, I’m good to go! I will make sure any and all pets are cared for. I’ll be sure to ask questions like if your cat is permitted to be outdoors and if your dog door darts! As well as any special needs they may have or special diets.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Five Points is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Five Points
Brandon was absolutely amazing with my 3 doggies! We usually have a family friend stay at our house and watch our dogs but he is no longer available, so we looked into rover and met Brandon. Our 3 girls loved him from day one! He stayed in constant contact and spoiled them rotten! He sent pics and loved them like his own. I’d highly recommend him! I never once worried about them while we were on our vacation for 8 days! Brandon is truly amazing and truly cares about the babies he is sitting for!
We were extremely happy with our recent experience with Jenna. Our pre-meeting and setup was easy and Lola took to her right away. On the day of our travel, Jenna let us know when she arrived and we received timely communications including photos during the week. Some of the photos showed Jenna playing with Lola. When we returned, Lola seemed well adjusted and cared for. On our last day, Jenna texted us to wish us a safe journey home. When we got home our house was clean with no traces of anyone living there. Much appreciated.
We had such a great experience with Sienna! She stayed at our home while we were away and took incredible care of our two pups. It was clear from the start that she treated them just like we would, which gave us real peace of mind while traveling. She kept us consistently updated, which we really appreciated, and was especially attentive to the needs of our older dog. Finding someone reliable and capable of handling that level of care hasn’t been easy, so this meant a lot to us. On top of everything, we came home to a spotless house. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful house / pet sitter!
Joyce is amazing. She sent pictures and an update, daily! My Sophie is a Shih Tzu and her hair is long. Joyce did a great job in keeping her groomed and void of tangles or, mats. When it was time to leave, Joyce went above and beyond by cleaning the bathroom, kitchen and even washed the towels and sheets she used. My home looked the same as when I left, if not better, The next time I need someone to house sit my Sophie, no question it will be Joyce if, she's available. Thank you Jouce for taking good care of my little girl!

FAQs for House Sitting - Five Points
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Five Points on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,039 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Five Points. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
