“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!”
“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!”
“We had a great experience with our dog sitter! Frankie communicated with us consistently every day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She also did an excellent job walking all three of our dogs, a task we know from experience is no easy feat! When we returned home, we found three very calm and happy dogs. We appreciated her care and attention to our dogs and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and wonderful pet sitter.”
“Marci kept our sweet girl, Macy, this weekend and she was awesome. She took such good care of Macy, sent us lots of pictures daily- we will use her again! Thanks, Marci!”
“Sydney was very flexible with our last minute need for a house sitter. She left the house better than when she arrived, was always available for communication, and treated our home and pets as if they were her own. We will absolutely use her again for future needs!”
“Kendall was amazing with our babies! She kept them stimulated, and gave them plenty of snuggles! She kept us updated on everything! She made sure they were not home by themselves for too long. Would love to use her again!”
“Sophie communicated well, was on time and took great care of our pups while we were gone. I was nervous because we hadn’t left them with anyone before but Sophie took care of everything and was a pleasure.”
“Blanca was amazing!!! She stayed overnight with my 2 dogs. One dog is senior and the other we’ve only had for 3 months from the shelter. She taught the new dog several commands while giving lots of lovin to my senior dog. I will definitely book again! Thanks Blanca!”
“Zoe is a godsend! She took such great care of our older boys - gave their medication, cleaned up after them and provided lots of love to them. We will be rebooking with Zoe every time we travel. Thank you, Zoe! ❤️”
“Adoni was wonderful!! She gave me updates the whole time and sent me pictures of my babies. i knew they were in good hands! She will be my "go to" sitter for the future!!!”
“This was the first time leaving my babies with someone I didn’t know and I have to say it was a great experience. Valerie was amazing with them she sent pics and communicated with me. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: My mom was a vet tech growing up and I have been around dogs of all sizes my whole life. I was raised in a home where every dog deserves a chance, no matter their health or their behavior and it has carried over with me into adulthood. Whether it is doggy day care, house sitting, or in-home boarding, I have experience in doing them all. I am local to parks, and I have a nice sized back yard that is perfect for playtime. I can tend to whatever the dogs may need energy level wise. I also enjoy walking all dogs when I exercise. Once play time is over, we have plenty of space in the house for relaxing and sleeping. I am home most of the time, so the dogs won’t be stuck alone for hours on end. I work from home, so there will not be much of a time that the dogs will be alone. I can cater to whatever the dogs need. I do prefer a crate trained dog for if/when I do leave the home for safety for both my home and the dog itself. The back yard is a huge hit for the dogs when I dog sit them. I am able to separate dogs if I have multiple, if needed. We have plenty of trails to walk, a local park with a walking track. Dogs are allowed on furniture. I have plenty of bones, toys, blankets, and anything to make your dog happy and comfortable.
“I booked Sophia at the last minute because another Rover cancelled. She responded to my request quickly and we did a meet and greet the next day. She kept my two energetic aussies active with walks and playtime. She sent me photos and videos that gave me peace of mind while on our trip. We arrived home to a clean house and happy dogs. I plan to book her again.”
“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!”
“Erika did a fantastic job with our girls! They bonded with her almost immediately. This was our 2nd time using Erika and we plan to continue using her services anytime we need a sitter in our home. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. She is trustworthy and dependable.”
About: As cliche as it is, I was born an animal lover. There have been dogs in my life from day 1. I have personally owned a Rottweiler, several Labrador Retrievers, a Puggle, and a Boston Terrier. Dog lover since 1975! I am currently a Marketing Manager at a local business. I tend to spend my time at home reading, watching Netflix, and spending time with my daughter. I'm happy to take pictures, text updates, give baths, and even take dogs to grooming or vet appointments if that's what's needed. I'm also more than happy to do special trips to the dog park if you think your pet would enjoy it. Mostly I just want to help someone feel at ease while they're away from home and get a little puppy love for myself. Please feel free to write with questions! Things I like to know about a dog: 1. Time of day preference for walks? 2. Friendly with other dogs? 3. Favorite treats? I have no breed preference, I love them all. About this sitter: Single mother, and animal lover of one daughter, and two fur babies. My experience administering medication Yes, I am comfortable administering medication. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, and I intentionally plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention and care. I prioritize timely feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I build flexibility into my day to accommodate each pet’s specific needs. Because I limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I’m able to be present, reliable, and responsive, giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. I care for dogs exclusively in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow each dog’s established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and I take the time to build trust through calm, positive interactions. I’m attentive to safety at all times—secure doors and gates, leash awareness on walks, and close monitoring of behavior or health changes. I treat every home with respect and provide reliable updates so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Laila was very helpful in caring for my two boys who ended up getting sick from new food. She took care of them, went to the store to get them some food they could eat, and cooked rice for them too! So thankful she was there to take care of them!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Jamestown is $45

Jennifer is AMAZING. She was patient enough to befriend our high-energy, stranger-reactive dog, she sent incredibly detailed updates. and she left our house cleaner than it was when we left! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a trustworthy and communicative pet-sitter.
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 $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 957 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
- 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.
