“Victoria was wonderful with our fur baby, Sunny! She got to know his personality right away and spent tons of time playing with him outside. She kept me updated throughout the day, which made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Victoria 🙂”
“Alison was a great sitter for our anxious bulldog. He felt right at home with her. She took care of his needs and sent updates and photos during the evening. We will definitely book Alison again to watch Theo.”
“Grace watched our one year old dog for a night and was wonderful to work with! She comes with a lot of experience, especially with herding dogs which was a bonus for us. Our young border collie loved her right away and we got some nice photos of dog snuggles. From my end, I thought she was reliable and professional. I can honestly say I didn’t worry when we were away. I would definitely work with her again!”
“Victoria watched our dog Cora at our house and it was great! We got multiple updates a day and Cora got a lot of walks. As a Rover sitter myself, Cora is used to a lot of dogs around, so the walks really helped. I will definitely book Victoria again for our upcoming travel if she's available.”
About: I’ve worked with 6 small puppies, raised a springer spaniel and schnauzer, so I understand hyper breeds and terriers well. I’ve been dog sitting large dogs, and hairless cats. I have experience with high maintenance pets with special needs. I have a lot of patience for your big or little fur baby if it’s a puppy and I’m happy to help with exercise. I go on long hikes and take dogs when allowed on epic adventures for their mental and physical health ☺️🫶 I’m working on real estate properties and art projects so my availability is flexible. I have availability it adjust my schedule around the days I care for pets. I usually block out days where my time is fully committed on a pet or project I will walk regularly when home, happy to take to the dog park, help socialize and exercise. Depending on your dogs needs, I can easily accommodate.
“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!”
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life. Taking care of neighbor’s pets was my first introduction to responsibility. I was introduced to the importance of feeding, bathing, and exercising pets and going the extra mile to make them feel comfortable while their family was away. Currently I am now a Registered Nurse and my main caretaking involves humans. My flexible schedule leaves me available many days a week to help care for your pet! I currently work full time. However, for me full time only means 3 days a week. With four other days of full day availability leads for a very flexible schedule I am lucky enough to live in a very dog friendly neighborhood with a walking path, fenced in area fresh air and easy access to the beach!
“Julia was amazing! She was so communicative and we got home to a happy and healthy pup (and a 100% clean apartment!) I could tell she was spending a lot of time with our buddy and really appreciated her attention and support. Would absolutely book again!”
About: I have owned and cared for pets all of my life and cannot imagine life without them. To be honest, I wouldn’t choose a life without them. In my lifetime, I have raised and cared for my own 4 cats and 9 dogs (one dog was completely deaf from birth) I am a seasoned veteran when it comes to caring for animals and know what it is like to fall in love with a pet. I often feel like I love animals more than some humans 😁 I guarantee that I will take fantastic care of your fur babies and treat them just as I treat my own pup! You will never be disappointed with the fun and support that I will provide to your pet. If you want the best care possible for your pets while you are not able to be with them, contact me and rest assured that your pet will be safe and happy under my care! I am currently to focused on this pet care business of mine because I am tired of 9-5 in an office and what better way for me to make a little money than being with pets! I love this job! When I am with your pet I am always on the lookout for any challenges. I never let your pet out of my sight. Safety always comes first with me.
“Kyleigh is wonderful. She sent regular pics of the dogs - who loved her. I have an extremely clingy labradoodle who found a willing cuddle buddy in Kyleigh. Very trustworthy and communicative - I felt very comfortable having her in my house. Thank you Kyleigh!”
“Erika took excellent care of our animals and our home for an extended period of time. Not all sitters would book for 10 days but she did. Very communicative and sent photos of our pets daily. We’re so comfortable with her because she’s so attentive and trustworthy. I cannot say enough great words but know we’d book her again!”
“Heather was AMAZING. My older dog is very unsure with new people and she did great with him. She kept us update every day and made my wife and I very comfortable that our puppies were in great hands! She will be our first option if we need someone in the future!”
“Rayna was an outstanding house sitter, and I recommend her without hesitation. She took wonderful care of our dog and cats, and it was clear they were happy and well looked after while we were away. She kept the house spotless, was incredibly responsive throughout our trip, and sent frequent updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Rayna was also friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. We came home to happy pets and a perfectly maintained house. We would absolutely book Rayna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy house sitter.”
“Victoria was amazing! Took great care of my old gal and our house. Lots of pictures and feed back during her stay and even on Christmas. I would trust my Gracie with her any time!! Thank you Tori!! We can wait to have you stay again.”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs in both my own home and clients’ homes for the past 5 years, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I love spending time with dogs, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy walks, outdoor time, and keeping dogs engaged based on their individual needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and prioritize clear communication, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I look forward to caring for your dog like they’re part of the family! *available for bookings equal or longer than 2 nights* 5am beach walk Lunchtime walk 4pm walk I work 7-3:30 about a mile away from home M-F so I’m able to come home on lunch. My boyfriend works from home about 2-3 days per week. Spacious, clean, and pet-friendly apartment with plenty of room to relax and play. No crate needed, but if preferred I can accommodate. The goal is to make the fur babies feel as at home as possible.
“Charlotte is GREAT! She came over twice before her stay to meet the dogs and get a feel for how things would run during her stay. She made me feel so comfortable! She gave me updates throughout the week we were gone and sent some very cute photos! We came home to some very happy dogs. We are so thankful for our experience with Charlotte and have already booked her again! Thank you!!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jamestown on Rover is $42.8 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 1,266 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.

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.
