About: Reliable pet sitting with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and cuddles. Your pet's comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique personality. Whether your companion needs energetic playtime or quiet companionship, I'll provide personalized care in a safe, loving environment. I'm currently working full-time but can schedule time with your pet after 5:00pm most weekdays and scheduled time on weekends based on availability. I'm also available to home sit for vacations, business trips, etc. When I pet sit in a client's home, my priority is providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while maintaining the pet's normal routine. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I carefully follow the owner's instructions for feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and daily activities. I ensure pets have fresh water at all times, provide meals according to their dietary needs, and monitor their appetite and overall behavior for any signs of illness or distress. Dogs receive regular walks, bathroom breaks, exercise, and plenty of playtime, while cats and other pets receive enrichment, litter box or habitat cleaning, and affection based on their individual personalities and comfort levels. Safety is always a top priority. I keep doors, gates, and windows secure to prevent escapes, remove potential hazards from the pet's environment, supervise outdoor time, and follow any household rules regarding furniture, crates, or restricted areas. I also monitor pets for any changes in health or behavior and contact the owner immediately if I notice anything concerning. In the event of an emergency, I follow the owner's instructions and seek veterinary care if necessary. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean and tidy, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and leaving the home in the same condition as I found it. Throughout the stay, I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home while giving owners peace of mind that their beloved companion is receiving attentive, reliable, and compassionate care.
“Mayah was so great with our boys, communicative while we were gone, and was very respectful of our space during her time staying there. She left the house very clean and our boys very happy. We would 100% recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to ask her to watch our dogs again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“"I can't thank Frankie enough for taking care of Kenji over these past five days. This was the first time I left Kenji for so many days, and he was incredibly well cared for. I could tell he was happy and at ease. Frankie was always on top of things, even when my flight was delayed, and she was ready to help if I needed to bring Kenji back. I’m beyond grateful for her care and attention!" She is the BEST 👌”
“Absolutely fantastic! Daily updates with photos! And it was obvious from the photos and tones of the updates that everyone was getting along fabulously! We were able to relax on our Christmas vacation knowing our pups were in such capable, caring, kind, hands. Dogs were happy to see my husband and I when we got home but they were so relaxed and not stressed and very comfortable to be in their own environment with Mia and Aaron. Highly recommend! We will be calling on Mia and Aaron for all our future dog sitting needs!”

About: I’ve worked in vet med for 4 years and can promptly handle any type of emergency. I am comfortable medicating dogs and cats of all ages, and I can perform CPR if necessary. I have also worked at doggy daycares taking care of 100+ animals at a time. I have been pet sitting since I was in high school, and I care for each animal as my own! I am trustworthy, reliable, and very communicative with pet parents. My schedule is completely open right now! I am available to pet sit weekdays or weekends. I can do same-day bookings, but I would prefer at least one day’s notice to stay overnight. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have one senior husky, one middle-aged mutt, and one young cat in my own home. They are all healthy and on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. They are well socialized and get along with other dogs really well. I am happy to take your pet on walks if that is what they need to get their energy out as well!
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.
About: Hey, my name is Evan. I am currently a graduate student at UNCG looking to provide high quality care for your pets needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or just chilling out, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I will take the time to follow your instructions closely. I aim to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. While you're away, I'll keep you in the loop with photos and messages. As for experience, I grew up with three cats and have cat-sitting experience, so I am familiar and have a good understanding of their needs. Also, I have a couple years of experience dog-sitting and dog-walking during my undergrad. During the summer, my availability is very open and have plenty of free time throughout the week and weekends. I also will be respectful towards the owners home, so expect the house to be in perfect order. I want to create a familiar and welcoming atmosphere for your pet, as if you never left. I also want you to feel at ease as the pet owners, so anticipate open and honest communication. My goal is to provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and a positive experience for both you and your pet! I am currently a graduate student and working part-time, so I have plenty of time during the day to provide high quality pet care. I live in a safe environment with plenty of space inside for your pet. There is also a big yard right outside my complex, as well as a fenced off area for pets.

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! ❤️

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.
