“Kendal was very reliable and took care of my baby on such short notice! Great service and very professional. This is my first time using a sitter, and so I was nervous and anxious but Kendal made the experience easy, and took care of my pup very well! Will definitely book again with her!”
“Frankie is awesome. She was easy to communicate with and asked all the best questions to get to know our dog. We came back home to a happy, fulfilled pup and a clean house. You can travel stress free knowing that Frankie is taking care of your animals.”
“Our dogs are normally very low key, but they were having a lot of issues this time. It was Mayah's first time sitting for us, but handled everything wonderfully! It gave us a lot of peace of mind to know we had someone who cared about our dogs and made sure they were ok. Communication was great as well, letting us know what was going on and how she took care of it. We will absolutely book her again.”
“Erika was great. Lainey took right to her! Erika went over any beyond what was expected. I appreciated her taking Lainey to the park to explore new things. The house was just like we left it and she even did the towels. I appreciated her taking such good care and playing with Lainey while we were away. Will definitely be using her again. Fabulous dog/house sitter.”
“Val did a great job watching our 3 dogs for a week long trip at our house. The dogs were cared for, fed and they warmed up to her. She was communicative and sent daily pictures/updates.”
“We have now used Hailey repeatedly, and have absolutely loved having her house sit for our boys. Her communication is outstanding, photo updates multiple times daily, and our house is always clean when we return. She loves on our pups like they are her own, and we appreciate her so much!”
“I hesitate to write this review because we'd love to just keep Vanessa all to ourselves! ❤️ 😂 I won't though because there are dogs, cats and owners that need to experience the kind of care that Vanessa gives. WOW, talk about a great find! From the meet and greet to the 3 night 4 day stay with Ace & Marigold (our 2 Great Danes) my mind was at ease knowing they were in her care. She was great at sending lots of pics of them doing their fave things and her reports on Ace & Marigold read like a pet story that we looked forward to that made us laugh and look forward to the next one! 🥰 😂 Everything went great and we have already booked with her to come sit with Ace & Marigold again. It is a blessing when you find someone you trust to watch your furry Best Friends! 🐾 ❤️ If you find it difficult to take those trips when your Best Friends aren't able to come with you, we highly recommend Vanessa because they will be in great hands! 🥰”
“Amazing experience. Adoni was perfect for our pets and left the house in great shape. We left some instructions for her and she went above and beyond, surpassing our expectations. Would definitely recommend her as well as re-book when needed.”
“Wow Marissa was such a great Pet Sitter for my 3 dogs. She is very calm and easy going. She walked all 3 of our dogs when weather permitted and was fine with our 2 Vizslas wanting to cuddle with her. My older dog has separation anxiety and did really well. Marissa is amazing. She will definitely be my No. 1 choice for a Pet Sitter in the future.”
“Mia is amazing! She sent daily updates and photos while we were on vacation, she was super flexible when last minute life things popped up, she was amazingly patient and respectful of my in-laws that live in our downstairs apartment, and I would 100% hire her again!!”
“Laila was amazing with my dogs. She stayed at my house while I was gone, the dogs warmed right up to her. She was very responsible and good with communication while I was gone, I didn’t worry about the dogs or my home while I was away. She took very good care of my home, it was just as I left it when I got home. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again the next time I go away.”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing! She took care of all four of my babies like they were her own. She kept me updated on everything, sent pictures, and replied back instantly! She kept the house immaculate and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
“Shae housesat for us for a weekend and left the place spotless! Our dog loves her and was perfectly content and relaxed the whole weekend with Shae there. She sent us lots of updates and we are so grateful for her responsible and kind care!”
“Marci is the best! She watched my four dogs overnight in my home. She brings calm to the dogs and to me. She sent plenty of pupdates, she’s puntual, a great communicator and cate taker. She also took great care of our home.”
“Peytyn was communicative, followed instructions perfectly, and she left the house as clean as it was when she arrived. We will definitely use her services again if our schedules align!”

Mia is absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of our three dogs. She spent time with them, gave plenty of belly rubs, took them for long walks and sent pictures and videos every day. I highly recommend Mia and am definitely going to be utilizing her care for our dogs in the future! 5 ⭐️’s hands down! Thank you Mia!
We had never left our pets before they had always traveled with us but we were not able to take them this trip. I read Debi’s reviews on Rover and knew she was the one. She stayed at our home and was awesome! She did a meet and greet before hand, then came back right before for instructions. She took care of our 2 dogs and 5 cats. I will definitely use her for future needs! Thank you Debi for taking such good care of our pets!
Angela is an outstanding & I HIGHLY recommend her! She cared for my Chihuahua, Bodhi, as if he were her own, taking the time to learn his routines and provide him with plenty of love and attention. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated with photos and messages, giving me complete peace of mind. Angela exceeded every expectation, and I recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter who truly treats your pet like family.
Outstanding care and plenty of love. My Springer Spaniel is very at ease being with Luke. She loves the long walks and the hugs and playtime with her toys and Luke. Luke Whittington is a highly responsible and caring young person. I can guarantee that your dog (or cat) will receive excellent care.
Blanca was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my dogs and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals! The girls were happy and well cared for when I got back. I’m so grateful for her help and would definitely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!
Anna was absolutely wonderful! Our pups loved her right away, and she took such great care of them while we were away. She sent photos and updates that gave us total peace of mind — and when we got home, it was almost like they didn’t even miss us (which says it all!). We’re so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jamestown on Rover is $39.98 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 953 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 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 Jamestown. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
