âStefanie watched our 10 month old Golden Retriever for 5 days. She was great! She was very communicative, was able to meet on short notice and sent a lot of photos and updates, which is so appreciated!â

âWendy is absolutely wonderful! We have several pets and some have complicated care instructions. She did a great job with meds and making sure everyone was taken care of!â

âKatelyn did a fantastic job of taking care of our diabetic cat for the 2 weeks (gulp) that we were gone. The longest we've been away from him at one time and she made us feel so at ease. She was so easy to work with, responsive, and sent us fun photos of our kitty while we were away. Thank you, Katelyn!â

âSusan did a great job with my rescue Earl who has some anxiety issues. She was able to come over a few times before staying and let him get to know her and he loved her! She was very considerate, caring and I had nothing to worry about while I was gone. Earl was spoiled with lots of walks, play time and cuddles. Thanks Susan!â

âElika was wonderful when she stayed overnight with my dog and cat. She arranged a first time meeting to make sure it was a good fit and followed up promptly to messages. I received a glowing review from a reference and felt comfortable leaving my home and pets in her care. Elika was conscientious and ensured my home was just as I left it. She even washed and changed the sheets after her stay. My dog was relaxed around her and my cat was particularly affectionate as Elika was preparing to leave, so I'm sure they both will be happy to see her again in the future.â

About: I have been a pet sitter for many years starting when I was 12 where I was puppy training and house sitting twice a week for 3 years. I love animals but I am allergic to cats so I will need to know about cats before hand. My schedule is available daily from 7-2pm or after 5pm most days. I am taking classes but other than that I am free Monday-Saturday . I love playing with animals taking them on walks, playing with toys and teaching them tricks if I can. I consider myself an athletic person so I mostly would spend my time taking the animal on walks if I can.
âLaura took amazing care of our elderly pug! His health issues makes him not the easiest to care for but she caught on to his needs quickly! Bubba enjoyed his time with her! We came home to a super clean house and happy pup! Couldnât ask for anything more! Will definitely book again and highly recommend Laura for your next booking!â


âLexie is a wonderful dog sitter. She has tons of experience with and loves dogs, and they love her back. My girls were well taken care of during my recent trip, and Lexie kept in touch with me throughout my trip. I've already booked her for another stay!â

âJenn took great care of my cat Tuna while I was away. During a very hot weekend, she made sure my indoor/outdoor kitty had access to the house. She let me know how Tuna was doing throughout the weekend. I would definitely ask her to sit again!â

âRosemary 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!â

âRissa was amazing! We were gone for 10 days, and she took care of our home and our fur baby girl, Harley. She gave us updates every day! Harley loved her, and she loved the dog walks and park visits they took. Risa kept our home tidy and got our mail and packages as they arrived; she also watered our plants. We will definitely keep using her services. I was very happy and at ease that our girl and home were in good hands while we were away. This was the first time we were away from our girl for that long.â

About: Ever since I was a kid Iâve had a passion for animals, and animal care. I genuinely love working with them, dogs are my strong point, and I have years of experience as well as have some training under my belt. I also am experienced in handling reptiles and large livestock! 𼰠I also wanna state that I can and am always willing to help out, however I do have a job I work Monday through Friday during the early afternoon to evening, so usually anything after 4 or 5pm works for me best! I work part time at a dealership in Santa Rosa, so I do have a lot of free time! I donât mind over nights, and I donât mind early mornings if need be! Iâm very flexible with my schedule! Tell me what you need and Iâll do my best to accommodate your requests! I am very trustworthy, and since I love all animals I will always go above and beyond to treat your fur-babies like royalty! Animals are so important to me, sometimes I enjoy their presence more than people! I have experience in the veterinary technician field and all my friends and family say I am great with animals. Usually pets or animals come up to me when they donât like others! I would treat your fur-babies as if they were my own, ALWAYS!

About: I have experience caring for and walking my family and friendsâ dogs for 10 years. I have experience with reactive dogs.

On weekends I am free from 7am-9pm. If needed, we can arrange earlier or later appointment times. Thanks!

âDiego was fantastic with our Beagle boys, Royce and Baxter. Diego went above and beyond ensuring that the boys were cared for and keeping us informed daily. Would definitely recommend and book again!â

About: Hi! Iâve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with Australian Shepherds and Corgis, so Iâm very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and sizes. Iâve also dog-sat for a variety of dogs, including Pit Bulls, large breeds, small dogs, and very energetic pups. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and Iâm happy to adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise and playtime, a calm companion, or simply some extra attention while youâre away, Iâm happy to provide it. I really enjoy building a bond with each animal and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while theyâre with me! I am currently on break from my college courses, yet still am working a part time restaurant job. This makes me free in the mornings and late at night, with a couple of full off days in the mix. I am a responsible caretaker, having experience with highly reliant animals as well as experience in babysitting. I am highly communicative and always open to answering any questions or requests you may have!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 656 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 sitterâs 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 homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.

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.
