“Anthony was absolutely amazing! The house was immaculate when we returned. We booked overnight for 8 days with him and 100% will be booking again. He worked with our flight being rescheduled with out a problem. Doggo was greatly cared for and was very happy. He sent us daily photos which I loved. Highly recommend.”
“Amber was lovely! Sat for the day in my home on a last minute request, checked in frequently with updates and pictures, and followed all care instructions ❤️ Thank you for the great care!”
“I can’t wait for my next vacation, but not only to travel, because I don’t have to worry about my pets being in good hands anymore. Nathaniel is incredibly thoughtful and thorough, and he shows his love for animals by the way he interacts. Thank you for all of your help, flexibility, animals skills, and many more. Will be booking again with you in the future!”
About: Hi everybody, I’m Brian Lifelong dog and cat owner and lover❤️ I have an incredible great Dane German Shepherd mix and a morally questionable kitten.l 😀 being around and caring for animals is a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for puppies, adolescent, adult, and senior dogs, im comfortable administering most medication’s, as well as adhering to any physical limitations or other issues your four legged friend might have.👍🏻 I like taking the dogs over to ratton creek, domain , or Wells branch dog parks and I’m friendly with a lot of regulars at all of those places, so your pooch will get some great opportunities to socialize🥰 i’m also happy to help with any type of training you want your dog to have. I really understand the importance of continuity in training. I’ve seen how much more effective training can be when the same commands are normalized to the animal😊 lastly I’ve had extensive training in animal CPR and first aid so your pet will be an extremely capable hands❤️ I look forward to hearing from you. Your dog is going to absolutely love me! Right now, I am unemployed for the first time in about 25 years so I have plenty of time on my hands to focus on your pets ❤️ I have a clean well kept apartment with a small private fenced in yard and I’m about 50 feet from the entrance to the dog park at my apartment complex. As far as taking care of the animal in your home, I am extremely respectful of other people’s space and despite being naturally curious, I don’t feel compelled to wander around your property.
“Delanie was absolutely fantastic! She kept us updated throughout our entire trip with frequent messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also let us know right away when our senior dog wasn’t feeling like herself and kept us informed on how she was doing. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, and we couldn’t be more grateful. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our babies!”
“Averie was amazing at taking care of our pups and home. The dogs immediately loved her and her energy and she was very responsible and trustworthy right off the bat. Super easy to communicate with and accommodated us for last minute help. We are very grateful for her help and ability to be resourceful when something unexpected came up.”
“Anne took such great care of our 2 dogs while we were gone. I am not used to leaving them for very long, but she made me feel comfortable with how she cared for them. I received regular updates and photos. I will definitely be using her again.”
“She is Awesome… Kaitlan kept our 4 babies for 9 days. She sent updates and pictures each day. We have one guy who is a little cranky and they were best friends after a few day’s. She took them for walks. The house was just like we left it (a nice surprise). She is now my number one and only dog sitter. Thank you Kaitlin for loving our babies like we do. You are awesome!!!”
“Mimi was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet and I immediately felt at ease. She has an extremely calm presence and my dog took to her so quick! Mimi checked in with me several times throughout each day and as an added bonus sent photos of my little guy. She was also an excellent houseguest. I will definitely book Mimi again!”
“Lisa was great watching our dog Benji while away. As an elderly dog he required several meds throughout the day on a schedule and everything went well. Will be looking to book again in the future.”
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for the past 15 years! I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for my family dog and have also cared for several dogs through Rover alongside my girlfriend. I’m a very active person and love going on walks throughout the day. If your dog enjoys exercise, I’m happy to take them on 30–45 minute walks, 2–4 times a day, depending on their needs and energy level. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, keeping them happy, active, and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, and you can count on me to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to give your dog attention throughout the day. I already enjoy taking walks during my breaks, so having a furry companion join me makes it even better! I also have the flexibility to visit your home for walks, feeding, check-ins, or whatever your dog may need. I’m happy to incorporate exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention into my daily routine while making sure your dog feels comfortable, loved, and cared for. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority! I provide a relaxed, welcoming environment where dogs can feel right at home. I have a large, comfortable bean bag for them to lounge on, and they’re welcome to sleep in my room near me if that’s what they’re used to. There’s also a dog park nearby, plenty of opportunities for exercise and playtime, and your pup will always have supervision and companionship. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home!
“Had a same day request and Kenna was there in a pinch! Total lifesaver... She was excellent with my dog and super super polite. 10 out of 10 will totally book with again!”
“Shameray house sat our two dogs and cat while we were out of town. She did an excellent job caring for our critters and provided updates and photos throughout her stay at our house. She was very responsive to us and our pets had a wonderful time with her. We are very grateful for her services.”
“Our dogs love Kristy! She stayed with them for a week while we were out of the country. We felt safe with her in our home and with our dogs. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and she kept the house clean. We are so grateful for her!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner for most of my life. I previously owned a Pekingese puppy in my early 20s, but cats have always been a big part of my life. I currently have an orange tabby who came to me at just 3 weeks old and is now a healthy, strong 17-year-old senior cat. Having cared for him through every stage of his life, I understand the patience, attention, and extra care that young and senior pets can need. I believe pets deserve more than just the basics—I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart is the personal experience and genuine love I bring to every pet I care for. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs and treat them with the same kindness and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of time and attention. I’m available for drop-in visits during the week and can stop by at different times depending on your pet’s needs and routine. I’m off work at 3 PM Monday through Thursday and at 2 PM on Fridays, with my weekends completely free. I’m available all day on weekends and have flexibility during the week for drop-in visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule, whether they need a quick check-in, feeding, playtime, walking, litter box care, medication reminders, or simply some extra love and companionship while you’re away. I care for every pet according to their owner’s specific instructions, routines, and preferences. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their normal routine is maintained, so I make sure to follow feeding schedules, walking guidelines, medications, litter box care, playtime, and any other instructions provided. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m mindful of keeping doors secure, maintaining a clean environment, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable throughout each visit. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, trustworthy hands while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jollyville
1000/10 recommended. Bernice house sat for our family and took care of our Chihuahuas for a week. Her patient and presence won over our most scared baby in just a few days. Communicated everyday with updates, photos, and videos. Our place was spotless with even a load of laundry and dishwasher done. Will continue to call on her to care for our kids.
Lauren was so amazing! Louis was very well cared for, with such a level of care and compassion that I'm truly grateful for. She was extremely communicative during the entire length of house sitting for us, and did not hesitate to ask questions to ensure Louis received top notch care for even "small" things. 10/10
I had never used Rover before and when I reached out to Anthony he was kind enough to do a meet and greet prior to booking. I can’t thank Anthony enough for taking such great care of our energetic frenchies. They can be a handful and Anthony was really good about sending daily updates and photos.
Brandy was wonderful!! She has such a calm presence and our dogs really loved having her stay with them. She is very organized, communicates quickly and knows her stuff. We are so grateful to her and we know our fur-babies were in great hands. Thank you so much!!
Can Kyle just move in?! He’s watched our 6 month old German Shepherd mix puppy multiple times now and always goes above and beyond! He’s very patient with our high energy pup, always uses positivity with her, takes time to do clicker training which she loves, and remembers every detail so he always seems up to speed each visit! His passion for pups is clear, and our pup confirms it with how over the moon she is when she sees him walk through the door! He’s communicative and punctual as a bonus! Would highly recommend Kyle for caring for your pets 💯
We contacted Rohan last minute when our previous plans fell through. He was communicative and understanding and took great care of our dog, Stout. He stopped by many times in a day to make sure Stout wasn’t lonely, made sure he got a good amount of exercise, and ate all his meals (which sometimes Stout can be difficult to get to eat). He even picked up after Stout in the backyard! When we returned Stout seemed happy and calm. Thank you for taking great care of our boy!
Kasyn is the best. Our cats love her and I don't feel bad when we have to leave them anymore. She always sends tons of pictures and is great about dealing with our cats special issues. She always leaves the house immaculate and even brought in a big package that was not supposed to be delivered until we returned. We will ll always use her to cat/house sit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Jollyville is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $83 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.

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 Jollyville 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 Jollyville 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 Jollyville 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 Jollyville. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
