“Daniel took care of my dog and three cats for a week while I was out of town. He did a great job with all of them, although my dog definitely wanted all of his attention :) Daniel was very communicative and asked me how often I'd like pictures, and he stayed in touch, particularly if any questions came up. He was very easy to work with, and my pets all did great with Daniel around to take care of them. Would definitely recommend and hire Daniel again!”
“Victoria has been just wonderful with our senior dog. She is on time, efficient, caring and kind. She goes above and beyond her duties and I couldn’t be more grateful to have her and Rover! Highly recommend!”
About: I have assisted in taking care of dogs, cats, goats, and chickens. My primary experience is in caring for cats and dogs. Both my own, and those of my friends. I am new to the area, and am currently looking for work, so as of now, my schedule is very flexible and open. I expect to continue to fit Rover into my daily schedule once I am able to get a work schedule. In my client’s home I will adhere to instructions directed both towards the house and pet. I always have open communication with the owner, and can give updates whenever requested. I am an active person, and thoroughly enjoy walking, and even running with dogs.
“We had Katie stay with our dog Zeke when we were away. We enjoyed meeting her and it was obvious to us that she loves and cares for the animals she sees. Katie was very communicative and responsive when we had questions before, during and after her stay. She sent many pictures that gave us peace of mind that our pup was happy. We will definitely be using her again.”
About: I love pets and house keeping and would love to help you with yours! I take pride in offering thorough care to put you at ease when you go away. I look forward to working for you and your pets! I work a part time job that is extremely flexible and allows me to work from home, meaning I can look after your pets in the exact way you want! I can spend as little or as much time as you want with them! I want your pets to feel like they are on vacay with me! I keep to them on their same routine while also giving them a little extra care since you are away. That way they won't be too sad while you are gone.
About: Experienced with a wide range of breeds, sizes, energy levels, and play styles, from active working and sporting breeds to relaxed companion dogs. I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs, personality, and routine. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a 5 year old Blue Heeler mix and no children, so I have lots of free time for pet care I want to keep your pet’s day as routine as possible, whether that requires set walking, enrichment, or nap times. I will ensure my time with them is comforting and fun.
About: I've taken care of my neighbors cats and dogs since I was 13 years old. I have taken care of pups and seniors dogs/cats! They rely on me to walk, feed and entertain them. I am very flexible with scheduling. Im available weekdays and weekends at any time and place. Let me know what works for you and we can figure something out! I have 3 dogs (2 young labradoodles and a senior shitzu). I feed them and take them for walks daily. My senior dog needs extra care such as diaper changing and making soft food for him. I can feed, walk, entertain and bathe your pet.
“Sophia had great communication with me before, during and after her stay. My pup was THRILLED with her and I'm sure that's because she was given love and attention. My instructions for the home were followed perfectly and it was left in pristine condition. I would definitely book with Sophia again!”
“I cannot recommend Blythe enough! She stayed at my home to watch my high-energy dog, and she handled him like an absolute pro. He can be a handful, but Blythe kept him exercised, entertained, and totally comfortable the entire time. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy and tired pup! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring—book Blythe. She went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her!”

Whether it be feelings, taking on walks, talking outside for the bathroom, bathing and spending time with our furry friends. I have always had a strong love for dogs of all sizes and would love to meet your furry friends! I am a little new to this app to bear with me and I appreciate all your requests!! I am currently finishing my senior year of school online and am currently working part time. I have some days and times available to hangout and come see your furry friends! I would love to hear from everyone about times and days and we can chat about what works for the both of us! I am very flexible while also being very flexible about pet care times! Thank you so much for your time and consideration! I have a fenced in backyard and two very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! I can crate your dog if needed but would always love to have them out and about.
“Emma was amazing. She took such great care of the pets and house. The videos and photos were so nice to receive and I knew my dog and cats were in good hands.”
About: Hello! I’ve been trusted by many people in my circle to care for their pets for extended periods of time and also just for potty breaks and walks! Wether your pet just needs some cuddles and social time for a couple hours while you’re at work or a long walk through the park before you get home I’m more than happy to help! I work seasonally in the summer months and pick up occasional substitute teaching jobs in the fall and winter so my schedule is highly flexible and open for dog walking/pet sitting! I prefer if there is a list of instructions for me so I can make sure your pet is getting the same care and attention they would normally receive from you! If there are any behavioral or physical limitations regarding your pet just let me know and I will be happy to accommodate.
“Sam is awesome and our dogs love her. She took amazing care of them and was great about giving us updates. We also had a canceled flight which changed when we would return and she was super accommodating which we were so grateful for. We were nervous to have someone house sit for the first time, but Sam was great and we'd book her again any time!”
About: I have been a lifelong animal lover, growing up with both dogs and cats and continuing to adopt and care for them throughout my adult life. Caring for animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my home. I have experience with daily routines, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing consistent companionship. I also had a beloved lovebird growing up, which gave me experience tending to smaller pets with gentleness and attention. What sets me apart is my patience, kindness, and genuine heart for animals. While I do not have formal training experience, I am consistent, attentive, and willing to reinforce basic training practices with calm encouragement. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with safety, affection, and respect at the center of their care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available most weekdays, especially during school hours, which allows me to provide dependable daytime walks, check-ins, feedings, and companionship. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and routine. In a client’s home, I maintain their regular schedule for feedings, walks, playtime, and any special care, while keeping the home tidy and respected. If in a client's home, I am willing to water plants, bring in mail, and assist with regular maintenance care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe space with close supervision, consistency, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to help pets feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Anya was wonderful and our dogs loved her. She did a great job ensuring they were well taken care of and loved. She helped take care of things around the house and sent pictures and updates while we were away. Would 100% recommend her.”
“Heather is awesome!!! A family member was supposed to watch our dogs but she was injured just days before our trip. I reached out to Heather at 4pm on a Tuesday and she was at my house for a meet and greet at 8am Wednesday. She was super accommodating from the first moment all the way to the end of the sitting. Throughout our vaca she sent pics and videos but was also totally self sufficient. The dogs had a great time with her. When we got home our dogs were happy to see us but not desperate for attention as they sometimes have been in the past after we’ve been away. You could tell that they were the #1 focus of Heather’s time while we were gone and received tons of play and snuggles. I will absolutely book Heather again and highly recommend her!”

Charlie took excellent care of our dogs on multiple days and nights. She cared for all of their needs, gave them special attention, and communicated often, sending pictures for extra reassurance. We were able to have peace of mind knowing they were well cared for while away. I highly recommend Charlie!

The average cost of House Sitting in Jamestown is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $48 per night.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
