“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.”
“Karina was FANTASTIC! She came to the rescue very last minute and I couldn’t be more thankful for her. HIGHLY recommended! Will definitely rebook next time we are in town!”
“Peytyn took amazing care of our dogs and cat. She communicated extremely well (and sent pictures) our entire vacation. She quickly learned everything we told her about all of them. We did not have to stress any on whether they were properly being cared for. For several days, her fiancé helped care for them and he was just as amazing. So thankful for them both, but Peytyn is simply the best!”
“All I can say is "Thank you Adoni"!!! We were out of the country for 12 days and Adoni house sat for our dog and cat. Our anxious dog put Adoni through the wringer. She handled some very challenging situations by contacting us, working with our contact person, and dealing with vet visits. Adoni was able to spend more time at our house than most sitters. Our reclusive kitty girl even came out to be petted. Adoni met the dog anxiety challenges with a positive attitude and we appreciated that so much.”
“Mia was amazing with all my babies! She sent photos and gave them all the love that they needed! I am SO protective of my babies and Mia made it easy! I will definitely be using her again anytime we go out of town. I have a lot of animals and she absolutely nailed it. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you Mia for everything you did for all my babies!! They love you!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13 years old. I’ve always had a dog or a cat. I love animals and put my heart into taking care of them. This will be my job so I am open and available to take care of your animals during the day, at night, and overnight. I look forward to helping you & your fur babies! I currently have 2 dogs at home and have experience giving injections as one of my fur babies is diabetic. I will love and take care of your animals as I do my own.
“We had an amazing experience with Frankie! She took excellent care of both our dogs while we were away. The updates she sent were so reassuring, and it was evident our dogs were in good hands. Her attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and the comfortable environment she provided made it easy for me to trust completely. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking reliable and caring pet care!”
“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!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 and neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and play with their dogs. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! Just reach out whenever you need a helping hand. I am a reliable and trustworthy person and would be more than happy to make sure your pet is well taken care of at home.
“Victoria was amazing! I can’t say enough about her! One of my dogs is really scary and he doesn’t deal with anyone, she was able to make him feel comfortable! No accidents in the house, Victoria made sure they went out on a timely schedule. Also the house was left in immaculate shape! She cleaned up behind herself and the house was just as I left it, I would definitely book her again and will be booking in the future! She made sure to send pictures and updates! I felt safe leaving my house to her! Thank you Victoria! You were amazing.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, my whole life, both big and small. Friends and family have relied on me to watch over their pets on multiple occasion.

Every pet is different and I am full prepared to ensure that your pet is well taken care of.

About: Hey Everyone! I am a college student trying to make some 💵 this summer! I have two cute doggies I take care of everyday that I give infinite affection to, I have a 12 year old (Coco) and a 6 year old (Olive). I have dealt with dogs my whole life, so not to worry. I promise to give the same love and affection to your adorable pups! I am working part time. Monday-Sunday I can walk or drop in and care for your pups. However not every weekend I will be able to pet sit, just message me and we can rearrange something. I will make sure your dog becomes comfortable and safe with me, to give him/her lots of love and affection, and treats for being the best doggies in the world! If you have a shy doggy I can always work with him or her on feeling safe with me.
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jamestown
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.
Mia was amazing with all my babies! She sent photos and gave them all the love that they needed! I am SO protective of my babies and Mia made it easy! I will definitely be using her again anytime we go out of town. I have a lot of animals and she absolutely nailed it. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you Mia for everything you did for all my babies!! They love you!
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! ❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Jamestown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jamestown on Rover is $41.14 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 984 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
