We truly could not ask for a better sitter. She cares for our dogs as if they were her own babies, and that kind of love and attention is priceless. We always come home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a home that is just as clean and tidy as we left it. One of our favorite things is how many updates and photos she sends while we’re away—it brings us so much peace of mind (and joy!) to see how loved and comfortable our dogs are. She is kind, respectful, reliable, and goes above and beyond every single time. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

With Rita watching our boys overnight while we were out of town, we’ve never been so stress-free about leaving them home! And they may have had a better vacation than we did! ❤️ We would rebook Rita anytime.

About: Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and cats and helping friends and family care for theirs. I have experience feeding, walking, playing with pets, and providing companionship while making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to ensure they receive the care they’re used to. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love animals. My goal is to care for your pet the way they need while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. My schedule is very free and flexible therefore, I can spend as much time as needed with your pet after I get up and get ready for the day. I would make sure your pet has clean food and water first. Then for dogs I would take them out on a walk or with permission to a dog park to run around and play with other dogs. If you have a fenced in yard I would personally be happy to run around with them there as well. For indoor cats I would do the same but instead play with them using toys or giving them a scratch and sitting with them.

As always, Miss Lonnie gives so much love to the dogs and goes an extra mile to reassure us when we're gone. They miss her when we return home...Thank you!

Brittany is clearly an expert when it comes to pet sitting. She took such great care of my dog Eddie, was quick to respond, and even took the time to clean the place before she left! It brought me such peace of mind to know Eddie was in such good hands!

Emily provided excellent overnight care for our dog. She sent videos and checked in throughout her stay at our house. We will continue to have her dog sit for us and would highly recommend her to others!

About: I have been passionate about dogs ever since I was a child but because experienced working with dogs and cats (and some bunnies) while working for the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County. I was a veterinarian assistant for one year and then became an adoptions Manager for three years. This was the most fulfilling experience of my adult life, being able to help animals and the community daily. I recently lost my closest companion, Xander, about a month ago. He was 13 years old and I had him since he walked into the humane society at two months old. Through him I gained even more experience with aging dogs, medical care and many behavioral changes as he aged. While using positive reinforcement training we navigated 6 military moves, life adaptions to aging and the introduction of two kittens. I will take all this experience and use it to provide the same amount of love an attention for you furry family members as I did for Xander. I am currently unemployed and have most days free as well as can stay over night or board animals in my home. I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with any clients schedule as needed. I currently only have two cats in my home, so I’m able to provide boarding for cat friendly animals. I have a fenced in back yard and am usually not gone from the house for more than four hours. I also am available for staying over nights at clients houses for a more comfortable experience for everyone in the family.

We cannot recommend Ronny highly enough! When another sitter backed out at the last minute, we reached out to Ronny on short notice. He responded promptly and was more than willing to come by for a meet and greet, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment he walked in the door, our cats were comfortable with him which is not always the case. Ronny took his time answering all of our questions and asked thoughtful questions of his own. Even though we admittedly have a very detailed list of instructions, he did an amazing job remembering all the little things and checking in regularly with messages and photos throughout his stay. It was clear that Ronny genuinely cared about making sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving everything exactly as we left it. He even went above and beyond by offering to clear our driveway after an unexpected snowfall. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile and treats your pets like their own, Ronny is absolutely the person to book!

This was the 2nd time Melisha watched our fur babies & our house while we were out of town, and just like the first time, she did an amazing job! She was super attentive & kept in touch with us multiple times throughout each day. She also sent pics of our dog & cat every time she communicated. She also handled a situation between our dog and an unexpected groundhog in the yard, like a champ. I would definitely recommend Melisha. She truly is a pro with regard to pet sitting!

This was a last minute thing, as one of my co-workers informed me of Rover.com, so I went on and did an immediate search within my zip code and found several sitters. We reached out to Rachel because she was so close to our home we felt it would be convenient for both our dogs as well as her if she needed to tend to her own needs. Rachel met us the very next day and was prepared with notebook and pen to take notes, so we walked her through everything and she had very few questions. She also worked at our vet and was comfortable giving medication to dogs since our greyhound takes several meds in the morning and evening and this went well. No complaints from our side, she did keep us informed and left the house as she found it. Thank you Rachel, see you next time.

About: I grew up on a farm and cared for every animal you can think of, from bottle feeding goats to helping deliver babies. Friends, family and coworkers have relied on me to care for their pets while away or during work hours. I have lots of availability so I'm able to check in on your pet during the day or care for them while you're away for longer time periods. I have lots of availability for short check ins, walks, day care, over night or long term care in your home. I just moved to PA from the Midwest and have cared for pets and animals my whole life. I'm at your service to care for your fur baby in whatever capacity you need. From short check ins or walks during the day to over night care. I'm very dependable, caring and will honor you specific needs.

Sophia was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home with our 2 dogs and 1 cat while we were away for 10 days. She is dependable, responsible and trustworthy, she was also very easy going with all of our pets wants and needs. She sent us updates and photos regularly and was quick to respond to our messages we sent to her. Our cat and dogs were well taken care of and so very happy while we were gone. Our home was also very well taken care of, she collected our mail and took out the trash. We will be using Sophia again in the future for drop ins and in home stays.

Kerri was wonderful with our pets. The cat hides and is afraid of everyone, but he took to her immediately. She even got a collar on him which I have not been able to do in the 10 years we have had him. The dog is needy and loves snuggles and Kerri gave her lots of love. We would definitely book with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Five Points

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 856 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:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
