“August was great! He sent regular updates, was extremely responsive, and was the perfect balance of warm and professional. Knowing he was giving our pup the attention and care he needed while we were away gave us valuable piece of mind. He left the house in excellent shape and took care of things like trash while we were gone. I highly recommend August and will be booking with him again.”

“Lila did an amazing job watching our two dogs, one of whom has storm anxiety that can be difficult to deal with. Lila did fantastic though! Knowing our dogs were in caring and capable hands made our vacation even more enjoyable! Would love to be able to rebook her in the future, and would highly recommend her.”

“Madison was the best ever. This was our first time with a pet sitter and we have 5 animals. She made me feel comfortable the moment I met her. She was so kind and attentive to our fur babies the whole time we were gone. She checked in and sent pictures daily. I can't say enough about how wonderful she was. We will definitely hire again and again. Our kiddos loved her!”

Felt so good to leave for several days knowing he was not just being fed but encouraged, exercised, loved. I appreciate all her efforts and def book again!”

About: I have 10 years experience working with dogs. I tailor my care to your pet's specific needs and likes, creating an environment that feels safe and comfortable while you are away. I am available Monday through Friday and weekends upon request. I live in the West Gunbarrel area and serve Gunbarrel and Boulder. I love working with Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ folxs. I pay close attention when leashing dogs for walks, making sure they are comfortable before going out with them. I have treats on hand and provide structured playtime.

About: Hello and thank you for your time and consideration. I recently sold my home in VT, US and I'm setting out on adventures and travels. I am a traveling pet sitter. I've recently completed some very successful pet sits in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, Colorado and the UK. I enjoy matching my love of traveling with my love of animals, and enjoy meeting new friends as well. My children live in CO, so I always find myself in the Boulder area often. I love animals and enjoy the comfort they bring along with those special moments. I am a retired professional with years of experience in my profession - I was a public school teacher for over 30+ years. I am a never smoker. I only tell you this so that you get a sense that I am a responsible individual with life experience in taking care of a home, as well as taking care of beloved pets. I used to have a black lab named Mollie who passed away and I still carry her dog tags on my key chain to this day (growing up, we also had several shetland ponies). Mollie was a very special puppy. As a loving pet owner I'm sure you understand and I take my responsibilities very seriously. I would welcome to care for them according to your instructions. I have had many experiences caring for pets of all ages, including those very active youngin's, those with a little more years under their belt, and those in need of medical attention . Walks, etc. would be according to your direction and their energy levels. Thank you again for considering me, and I hope that you find me favorable, and if you have any questions, I'd be more than willing to set up a time to speak. Please be sure to check out my reviews, and I can furnish more reviews that I have received outside this app. I am proud of the care that I provide to my pet friends, as well as the lovely homes entrusted in my care. Sam My daily/weekly/monthly schedule is pretty flexible. I am a traveling pet sitter, so my time is pretty much dictated by my location, availability and my clients. According to my experiences, clients are very specific about the care they would like to have for their family pet(s). Usually they leave me detailed instructions highlighting feeding schedules, walking instructions, play likes/dislikes, medication schedules, and any other instructions needed for me to provide the best care possible for their specific pet's needs.

About: Hi! I’m Olivia — an energetic and caring sitter who truly enjoys keeping homes and animals safe, calm, and well cared for while their humans are away. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs and routines. I also have experience tending houseplants and gardens, ensuring plants are watered, healthy, and thriving while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, maintaining routines, or offering companionship, I treat every home, animal, and plant as if they were my own. I’m excited to provide you with peace of mind and a truly cared-for home while you’re away. Pet care fits really well into my life right now—I'm a seasonal worker, so winter months give me a lot of open time and flexibility. If I'm petsitting for your loved ones and your home, I can provide them lots of affection, care, and quality time doing their favorite things, whether that's lounging in the house or hiking in the sun and the snow. Whatever their pace, I'm happy to match it and make sure they feel comfortable and loved the whole time. I get to know each pet's routine and personality before jumping in, so they feel comfortable with me quickly. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I stick to their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and any meds, and I pay close attention to their energy and mood so I can adjust as needed—extra patience for the nervous ones, extra playtime for the energetic ones! I send photo updates so owners can relax, and I always leave the house just as tidy as I found it.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I am the go to pet sitter for my friend's, plus, word has gotten around and I have a few other clients that I sit for periodically. I've cared for dogs and cats, as well as other animals. Animal care is something I'm passionate about and take seriously. I am self employed and a part time student taking classes online. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time and opportunity to give your furry friends the attention that they need. In the clients home, I am diligent, and respect all the requests of the client when it comes to the various needs of their animals. I understand that pets are family. I know it can be nerve wracking to leave your babies with a stranger. Rest assured that I treat your family members with the same love and care that I would want my own to be treated. I have a calm demeanor and connect quickly with even the shyest of animals. I understand that pets can get stressed without their primary caregivers. My job is to alleviate that as best I can. I have a natural ability to connect to animals which makes me a great choice for in home sitting or drop in care. I'm also physically fit and I love to hike and walk with dogs. It's a win win win for me.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I have plenty of experience caring for them and understanding their different personalities and needs. I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and sizes and enjoy spending time playing, walking, and giving them lots of attention. I’m currently studying Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at CU Boulder with hopes of becoming a veterinarian. I’m responsible, patient, and loving, and I’ll always treat your dog like my own! As a college student at CU Boulder, I have a flexible schedule outside of my classes that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I love spending time with animals, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention into my daily routine is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m great at managing my time and making sure every pet gets the love and care they deserve! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I make sure to give them plenty of attention and patience. I also keep their space clean and provide regular updates and pictures so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands!

“Alexis was AMAZING!!! I would have her come back and watch our boys in a heartbeat! ❤️ She took such incredible care of them for the entire 2 weeks we were away, and it was so obvious how happy, loved, and well cared for they were when we got home. Alexis checked in with me every single day and sent photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dogs. We even had an unfortunate pipe flood issue at the house while we were gone, and Alexis handled the whole situation so graciously and calmly. She cleaned everything up and dealt with the unexpected mess without hesitation, which was incredibly appreciated and honestly went WAY beyond what we ever could have expected from anyone. Alexis is responsible, kind, communicative, trustworthy, and clearly has so much love for animals. Our boys absolutely adored her, and knowing they were in such good hands made being away for two weeks so much easier. We will 100% be booking Alexis again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets and home. 10/10 doesn’t even begin to cover it! 🐾❤️”

“Jacob was an exceptional sitter for our 10-week-old Border Collie puppy, Heidi. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and patient with all the needs that come with a puppy this young. He was always on time, highly responsive, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing Heidi was in great hands. He was also wonderfully accommodating of our admittedly “helicopter parent” tendencies, keeping us informed and giving Heidi plenty of attention, play, and care throughout the day. Most importantly, it was obvious that Jacob genuinely enjoyed spending time with our fur-baby, and Heidi clearly enjoyed her time with him as well. We would absolutely trust Jacob with Heidi again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and genuinely engaged sitter.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Jamestown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 3,195 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jamestown. 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 Jamestown 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 Jamestown 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 Jamestown 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jamestown. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
