“Our first time using Ryan since moving to the area and he was fantastic! Gave us daily updates on our dogs and the house was spotless when we got home. Our boys can be a lot so finding a good sitter is hard but we would definitely use him again!!”
About: Loved and cared for two puppies, potty trained them and how to sit and shake. Currently caring for our second chihuahua that is 10 y/o I am currently taking classes on the weekdays for a Personal Training program—which is really flexible. The weekends will be needed for a second job. Treating every pet and home like my own, I follow routines closely by keeping doors locked, sending photo updates, and staying responsive throughout your trip.
“Waymon was great!! Our original sitter was a no show and Waymon saved us and our trip. He was available for us on such short notice and provided us with lots of photos and updates to keep us at ease and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Jazmine always goes above and beyond for our kitties and we are so grateful! the detailed after visit notes also give us a much needed peace of mind during our vacay ❤️ Jazmine really is the best and we don’t know what we’d do without her lollll”
“We are very grateful to Cedric for taking care of our little dog when we needed help the most. It was a last-minute emergency, and they were incredibly helpful and understanding. Excellent care and great availability. We truly appreciate it and highly recommend them.”
“I enjoyed having Shelby take care of our dog. With her flexibility and ability to coordinate, she definitely gives us the peace of mind when we’re away from him and our home. I also loved receiving pictures of our pup! Will definitely book with her again—thanks Shelby!”
“Here’s a draft for your review: Hannah is an exceptional pet sitter! Our dog usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but Hannah’s calm and patient demeanor quickly put her at ease. She went above and beyond by providing regular updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. On top of taking great care of our pup, she also helped with our plants, which was a huge bonus. We’ve already booked her for our next trip and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Thank you, Hannah!”
“Jasmine was nothing short of amazing! She took care of our two dogs and our house for three days while we were on vacation. She is a natural with animals, making our rescue dogs feel safe and secure. They loved her! On top of taking them on walks and playing with them, she also kept our plants alive during the heatwave and fed the multitude of wild birds who frequent our feeders. She even laundered the sheets on the bed where she slept. All and all, we found her to be trustworthy and reliable, just like one of the family. We're so lucky to have found her.”
“My dog loves visits with Lez D. I know she is in excellent and kind hands. Lez D goes on walks, gives cuddles and plays with my pup. It eases my mind when I have to go out of town. Thank you so much.”
“Char was excellent when we had a last-minute cancellation and needed to find a sitter. We have cats with some health considerations and it was calming to know that they were with someone who knows how to administer medication. We had zero worries the whole weekend as we received colorful updates and photos. Will definitely be using Char’s services again!”
“Grace was amazing with our dogs! She kept us updated and they were well cared for. She reached out with any questions. She also took great care of our house and kept everything tidy for us. We would absolutely use her services again!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with our dog, Cookie. Cookie is extremely shy and has a lot of anxiety around new people, so leaving her while we were away was something we were honestly very nervous about. Elizabeth immediately gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly patient, attentive, thoughtful, and trustworthy. She understood that Cookie needed space and allowed her to warm up at her own pace, while still finding little ways to build trust and make her comfortable. By the end of the stay, Cookie was following her around, letting her brush her, and even rolling over for belly rubs, which is a huge deal for her! Elizabeth also communicated with us constantly, sending detailed updates, pictures and videos, and letting us know about everything from eating and potty breaks to small changes she noticed. We never once had to wonder how Cookie was doing. It was very clear that Elizabeth genuinely cared about Cookie and treated her like her own. Being away from an anxious dog can be stressful, but knowing Elizabeth was with her allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip. We came home to a happy, well cared for dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely trust Elizabeth with Cookie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, attentive and truly great with animals. Thank you, Elizabeth!”
“My 200 pound mastiff was being as uncooperative as he could be when Christina was meeting his twice daily medical needs. She remained calm, patient and caring the entire time. I could not ask for more diligent and loving care for my dogs.”
“Alexandra was amazing! She exceeded our expectations for communication, attention to detail, and care of our pets and home. Even our feral kitty let her pet him! We will definitely ask her to housesit for us again!”
“Matt did a great job and my dogs love him. Everything was under control when I returned. It's been awhile since I've left them, so I was happy to see that they were so comfortable with Matt.”
“So grateful for Lauren-she was responsive and left my home as clean as I had left it for vacation. She was also flexible when my travel plans had an emergency that extended my hours. She’s my first choice next time I’m out of town!”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of dog behavior and my genuine passion for creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup I care for. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I engage with them through structured play, enrichment activities, and tailored routines based on their needs and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m already used to maintaining a structured, nurturing environment, and that translates perfectly to caring for pets. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.
About: I am a passionate animal lover and a Biology major on a Pre-Veterinary path. I have lifetime experience with cats and over 4 years of experience in dog care, with dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I am well-versed in walking, cleaning-up, feeding, play, and obedience. As a devoted animal lover, I care deeply for each animal that comes my way. I recently completed an Animal Behavior and Training course (with an A+) and am knowledgeable in reading an animal's needs, as well as with Classical and Operant Conditioning. My scientific knowledge of dogs' needs and behaviors gives me a specialized insight into their care and allows me to truly connect with each animal. I also volunteer weekly at the SPCA taking the vitals of cats and dogs coming out of anesthesia. As a college student, I am pretty flexible in my availability. I am unable to conduct visits or walks on Thursdays, but any other day of the week I am certainly able to care for your pet. I am very empathetic towards each animal and make an effort to truly connect with each pet. I maintain cleanliness in my clients' homes, and thoroughly clean the feeding areas and scoop poop each day. I understand the amount of trust required to allow a stranger into your home, and I take measures to assure I leave your home exactly as I entered it.

FAQs for House Sitting - Joes Landing
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,627 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Joes Landing. 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 Joes Landing 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 Joes Landing 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 Joes Landing 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.
