“Stefanie was absolutely fantastic! From the moment she met Winslow, it was clear how much she love and understands animals. She took exceptional care of our Winslow, ensuring his routine stayed consistent, and he received plenty of exercise and attention. We received daily update, including photos and notes about how Winslow was doing. Stefanie also took great care of our home, leaving it just as we left it. We highly recommend Stefanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!!!! Tali & Craig”

“Of course! Here’s a personalized and thoughtful Rover review for Amanda, using the names Boomer, Brian, and Roxy — assuming those are your dog(s) and/or people related to your dog: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Experience with Amanda – Our Pack Loved Her! We had such a great experience with Amanda! From the moment we met her, we knew Boomer, Brian, and Roxy would be in excellent hands. Amanda was warm, professional, and clearly has a real love for dogs. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with messages, photos, and little notes that gave us total peace of mind. It was easy to see how happy and comfortable our dogs were with her—Boomer couldn’t stop following her around , Roxy got her attention, and even Brian (our picky one!) warmed up quickly. We’re so grateful to have found Amanda and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and genuinely caring dog sitter!”

About: I have always had pets in my life, and this is reflected in my 20 years of pet care experience, and I'm only 24 years old. What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive pet care experience combined with a deep commitment to each animal's well-being. Here are some key aspects of my approach: * I am respectful of not only the pet parents' time, energy, and boundaries but also the pet (after all, they are family) * I maintain a structured routine, ensuring that pets receive consistent care, feeding, and exercise. * I excel in time management, ensuring that all tasks and activities are completed efficiently and on schedule. * I am deeply compassionate and empathetic, treating every pet as if they were my own, which helps them feel safe and loved in my care. These qualities enable me to provide high-quality, attentive care that meets the unique needs of each pet I look after. Because it is summer, I am not enrolled in any classes and my days are spent enjoying the summer weather and occasionally hanging out with friends. This means that I am free every day of the week at any time. I will be transferring to a college in Southern California at the end of August, but up until that point, I am free. When I am pet sitting, whether it be an overnight stay or just coming over for potty breaks/walks, I make sure that I am respectful of the family home and make sure that it appears as if I was never there to begin with. Everything has its place within a client's home and it is not my place to move things or reorganize based on my standards. In my home, everything does have its place, even if it looks like chaos it is organized chaos. My cat is taken care of very well if his age is any indication, and I make sure that he is comfortable and feels safe within his home.
About: I love being around animals, especially dogs! Had dogs since I was 5 years old. My availabilities are flexible so feel free to always reach out. At the moment I am an unemployed college student so I have a lot of free time on my hands to watch your fur babies! I will show lots of love to your animals and make sure they get great care and feel special. I always make sure the animals is comfortable and 1-3 walks depending on the owners desired amount.

About: I've been taking care of cats, dogs, and koi since I was a kid. I am very knowledgeable about giving animals medication, walks, affection, playtime, and wet/dry food. I have always had love and compassion for all animals big or small. Whether it's an injured animal stuck in the middle of the road or a dog without it's owner, I always try my best to care for animals even if they aren't mine. I am available for daily drop-ins and overnights. I am always happy to discuss your specific needs and to make accommodations in accordance to your schedule. I always ensure my pets and the animals I care for get fresh food and water on a regular schedule. I regularly clean after my pets whether it's the litterbox or the backyard. Even when accidents happen I always make sure to keep their environment safe and clean. When it comes to exercise and play, walking my dog is no sweat and playing with my cats is always fun even for me. Finally, there is no shortage of affection when it comes to me. I love giving animals pets or gentle scritches. I can also read an animals body language when it comes to wanting space as well.

About: To start off, I grew up with dogs and cats— and am very good at reading body language. I have been cat and dog sitting since the age of twelve, and as of 1 year ago have over 200 hours of volunteering at Sonoma County Animal Services. There I walk, feed, play with, and clean dogs and cats of all kind. So I am very qualified and would love a chance to take care of your furry friends! I have flexible hours as my classes are coming to an end, I can discuss times that will work for me but overall am open to working out a set schedule! I have two dogs and one cat, they are taken care of very well. As mentioned before I also volunteer with dogs and cats and have seen about every type of behavior a person can think of— I am a very responsible and kind person and pride myself on how trustworthy I am.
About: I enjoy taking care of dogs and am very patient and kind with them. I have had a dog of my own for 14 years. I am a college student and am currently on summer break. My schedule is very flexible for the next couple of months. When in school, I will have availability as well. I will care for your dogs in your home. I will follow all routines; eating, walking, taking breaks etc. that you have established for your dog.
“Nessa took excellent care of Rocco while I was away and gave me tremendous peace of mind throughout the trip. She was communicative, responsible, and clearly cared about his well-being. I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that Rocco was comfortable and happy with her. What I especially appreciated was her professionalism and responsiveness. Whenever I had a question, she addressed it immediately and thoughtfully. She was receptive to feedback and consistently put Rocco’s needs first. I came home to a happy, healthy dog and a well-cared-for house, which is exactly what every pet owner hopes for. Nessa was reliable, trustworthy, and easy to work with from start to finish. I would absolutely book her again and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.”

“Rosemary was incredibly accommodating, receptive, followed instructions well, and ensured our dogs were safe and happy. I would highly recommend her and would book again. Thank you for your great care!”

“I met Zach before we left on vacation, and I felt totally comfortable knowing that he would take great care of Beca, Jett and our home while we were away. Unfortunately for Zach, Beca had an upset stomach just before we left; yet he was not phased and gave us initial daily reports to inform us of her progress. Then, we had an unexpected issue with our new "smart" water system which cut the water off to the house on occasion. We let Zach know how to turn on the water again. The issue has since been resolved. Zach sent picture of the dogs on their walk or while at the dog park. On the last day, he checked in to see what else might need doing before we returned. Not only did he wash the sheets etc., but her remade his bed. I would ask Zach to sit for us in a heart beat and highly recommend him.”

“Lynnette is one of the best I've seen with animals. My dog Mavis is a retired service dog. She is temperamental and slow to warm to people. Lynnette is the first person I've seen Mavis interact with who could sit with and pet her, in the first 5 minutes. Mavis was so at home with Lynnette and tried to guard Lynnette when I arrived to bring her home. Lynnette played, walked, and relaxed with Mavis. She sent me updates, pictures, and videos of Mavis having a wonderful vacation. She has an enclosed yard that allows dogs to safely explore outside. I highly recommend Lynnette!”

“Christopher is a true dog lover and I feel fortunate to have found him to take care of my pack whenever I’m not around. I have a lot of attendant anxiety when trying to pair my dogs with a suitable sitter- for no other reason than that they need a lot of exercise and ask for a lot of attention. Christopher alleviated every ounce of attendant stress experienced by leaving my dogs in someone’s care. He took my dogs on outings, updated me with charming photos and was completely unflappable when it came to managing two high energy and young labs along with a corgi who needs to herd everyone to feel fulfilled. On top of all of this, Christopher took excellent care of my home- maybe even leaving it cleaner than I did for him. 5 stars for Christopher, absolutely!”

“Jacqueline is incredible. She is very communicative. She came early and got settled with the dogs. The dogs loved her. She went above and beyond. Would absolutely use her again to doggy sit our dogs.”
“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our four pups, which includes a senior French bulldog, two very sweet, but very large and powerful Dogo Argentinos, and a second, very mischievous escape artist French bulldog. She took time to understand each dog’s unique personality and tailors her care to each. She was also extremely communicative, and sent us pics multiple times a day. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old. I have experience with both small and large breeds. It will be all love and play that your furbaby won’t even notice you’re gone! I work full time on weekdays (11am-6pm), with a 30 min commute, and am available early mornings and evenings. On weekends I am free almost all day. I have a dog at home and cannot care for more at my place due to limited space. I am happy to care for others at their home.
“Emilie is reliable, communicative and goes above and beyond to care for your pet. She came by the house ahead of time to be sure she was clear about expectations and sent updates while I was away. She was trustworthy, dependable and kind to my dog while I was away and it helped me ease the anxiety I had with leaving him home. I recommend Emilie and will call her again.”


About: I have loved dogs ever since I was a little kid and have always gotten along with every dog I have met. I helped and observed the training of my own dog where I learned a lot about their behaviors and how to get along with them. I am college athlete home for the summer so I spend part of each day training, but majority of my time can be spent your pets! I will follow instructions and prioritize your pet’s comfort and needs. I will maintain a clean environment in your home and make sure your pets get lots of extra love and attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - Jimtown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 648 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jimtown. 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 Jimtown 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 Jimtown 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 Jimtown 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.
