“Alyana took great care of our home and of our precious cat Lela. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. She left our home clean and tidy. Lela can become stressed when we are gone. We came home to a relaxed happy cat. I have her sitting for us again in September. Very happy with her services.”
“Bailey watched our dogs for a long weekend after a meet and greet a week or so before hand. When we returned the house was clean and in great shape. The dogs appeared to be happy and well taken care of!”

“Sophia did an amazing job taking care of our dog and house! She was responsive and friendly. She sent adorable photos of our dog and gave us just the right amount of updates. We will definitely have Sophia look after our dog again in the future. Thanks so much, Sophia!!”
“Sammy stayed at my house for 4 nights, taking care of my senior cat and energetic dog. She gave them lots of love and attention and made sure to get my dog out for long walks. I felt comfortable with her at my house and will definitely use her again!”
About: Growing up with pets, I always had responsibilities surrounding them! My parents made sure that I knew how to properly take care of and love our animals! Aside from taking care of my own pets, I have been a kid nanny for families with pets as well! I have a lot of experience with taking care of and loving other peoples pets and have not had any issues with that. I work from home so my schedule has a lot of versatility! My evenings are typically free after 4pm and weekends typically free as well! I live with other people, so when it comes to my own pets, they are also well taken care of when I am away, so this isn't any conflict there! Aside from what my profile says about my availability (the options are vague to choose from) I would want to discuss deeper on what type of time commitment you are expecting and how I can offer that to you! I would not be able to take care of pets at my home. When I am taking care of your pets, I will take care of them how you ask! If I have concerns or conflicts, I will bring them up to you right away! I know how nerve wracking it can be to put your pets in the care of someone else, so when I am watching your pets, they are my number one priority. I am very plan oriented and can successfully juggle different schedules and situations!
“Kelly stayed with our 2 Westies for a few nights over Thanksgiving. She was great! She sent frequent updates, was responsive to questions, treated the dogs & our home with care. We will definitely use her again!”
“She was perfect! Puppies were well loved and didn't even miss us 😅 We were able to go for such a long stretch and not worry about them! would definitely love to use her again!”
About: I grew up with dogs, I love them, always have to be around them. They are my best friends. God is dog backwards ❤️ I take the care of animals very seriously. I am home with my son for a lot of my day. I homeschool him and have my own dog. I am pretty free most days and throughout the week. My dog gets walked twice a day, and played with. He is my second baby. And I take his care very seriously along with my child’s
“Annie is magic. She accomplished in 2 hours what we couldn’t do in 6 months. We came home to a cohesive pack of happy dogs and can take separation gates down. Never will we ever use anyone else.”
About: I grew up with an Anatolian shepherd lab mix and 2 cats and have been sitting/dog walking for friends and family for the last 10 years! I currently have 2 cats at home who were raised with a 50 pound dog, so I get the perfect mix of both worlds!! Especially when my cats try to bark at the front door and rip up their toys. I can’t wait to meet your best friends! I work early mornings to afternoons, so I am free to drop by first thing in the morning, afternoon, or late at night depending on your needs! I’m flexible for those situations where you can’t be home and just want the peace of mind knowing what your pets are up to! I would treat your pets as I do at home. I would never let your pets live in a situation that I wouldn’t be comfortable with myself! I’m here to make sure the time without their owners feels shorter
“Anna did a great job with our 7 month old puppy! We were so nervous using a stranger for the first time, but she was very communicative and took such good care of him. We appreciated the pictures she sent us for check ins too. Definitely recommend!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Jamestown is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jamestown
I am just so grateful to have found Kaitlyn. She is absolutely amazing and took the best care of my pup. She is incredibly responsible and really went above and beyond to ensure my pup was eating and happy, took excellent care of my place, and was so communicative which gave me such peace of mind while traveling.
McKenzie was amazing. She took excellent care of old dog that required a lot of extra care. Because of the reports we received from her about our Maggie, we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about her. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet!
Penny is an absolutely incredible pet sitter and is my number one pick for watching my 2 dogs and staying at our home when we’re out of town. She always sends updates and photos daily, and is sure to reach out with any concerns or questions about the dogs or their care. I would recommend her to anyone to care for their pet(s). Also, our house is always tidy and clean when we get home- an added touch!
Rachel was wonderful! Highly recommend. She was extremely communicative and sent updates of our pups every day. She was also super flexible with some changes to our schedule, which was so appreciated. She stopped by a few days before to see our home and meet our puppies which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving them with someone new. I would absolutely ask Rachel to watch them the next time I’m out of town. Thanks again, Rachel!
Sarah was an absolute dream to work with — highly communicative during the entire process, which made figuring things out easy. She came over to meet our dog before we left and was so sweet and pleasant and competent. While we were gone, she sent pictures every day and followed up with details about how he was doing. She paid attention to details and I could tell our dog was so well-cared for. Had the best experience with Sarah! Will absolutely be booking with her again!
Cameron is THE BEST! She’s always the first person I ask when I need house sitting/caring for my male Ragdoll cat. Cameron is the most caring, reliable and dedicated person to ever look after my cat Draco who has IBD and is on special diet. My cat Draco LOVES her, and gets very excited to see her every time. She treats Draco like her own and I am always relaxed knowing she is watching him whenever I’m gone on trips. ❤️❤️❤️
Seth was amazing to work with! He went out of his way to meet our dogs before we had to leave and took time for them to get comfortable with him. He was very interactive and communicative while we were away, and knowing they were being well taken care was a relief! We will definitely reach out to him again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! He took care of our 4-month-old puppy for two weeks, and anyone who has had a puppy that age knows they can be A LOT of work! 😅 He was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with her, and went above and beyond just watching her. He actually helped reinforce training and worked with her on good behaviors, which we really appreciated. It was so reassuring knowing she was in such capable hands while we were away. He kept us updated, took great care of her, and clearly put a lot of time and effort into making sure she was happy, safe, and well cared for. We came home to a happy puppy who had clearly been loved and well looked after. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Jamestown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Jamestown is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $94 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,756 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jamestown. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
