“Anthony was very attentive with my dog. I can tell he really enjoys our furry angels. Came home to a clean house and the guest room bed sheets washed and remade. Easy to work with. Responded quickly to all questions and requests. Will definitely have him sit with my best boy again soon.”
“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!!!”
“Jere kept our home and pets safe and secure. I was concerned at the beginning of the trip as Jere let us know when we were leaving for vacation that she may not be able to stay overnight at first due to her chronically ill child needing her to be home. This created some anxiety for us, but Jere was able to take care of her child and perform rover duties in the end. I’m sympathetic to the need, so I kept her rating high and just told her moving forward, I’d like a plan for child care and continued communication. I think Jere still did a great job in the end and would recommend.”
“Geoffrey is hands down the best sitter we’ve ever used. He took wonderful care of our circus of animals over the holiday and was phenomenal. We received updates and photos to keep us in the loop on how everything was going, we didn’t worry once. Seriously, don’t debate and just book - he’s the one! ❤️”
“Lauren took looked after out two cats and our house for over two weeks. She provided daily updates and photos of our kitties, which were greatly appreciated. It was obvious they quickly became very comfortable with her. When we returned, our cats were happy and relaxed, which hasn't been the case on other occasions when we're out of town. Lauren took very good care of them, gave them plenty of attention and affection, which enabled us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about their welfare. Our house was also well looked after, she left it spotless. I would definitely recommend her services, and we plan to book her again.”
“Amber is so wonderful . It’s amazing to be able to not worry while I’m traveling. She checked in and sent really cute pictures every day. I never ever worry about anything when my girls are in her care . It’s fantastic.”
“Molly was an amazing sitter! She sent me pics of my babies multiple times a day, kept me updated on their feedings and my dogs meds. Enjoyed having her watch over my babies, and def trust her to do it again in the future :3”
“We were very happy with Tobias’ care of our pups! Our dogs can be picky when it comes to humans they warm up to; it didn’t take them any time at all to warm up to Tobias. He was great! We have already re-booked him!”
About: From dogs, cats, horses, pigs, sheep, and a rabbit, I have great experience in a wide variety of pets since I was 7. I have a special place in my heart for the herding and retriever breeds and am knowledgeable about the varying grooming, diet, and exercise habits across breeds. My goal is to make your pet feel as if you never left! My work from home schedule allows me to work anywhere with an internet connection. I am not currently able to have any pets in my apartment, and I would enjoy an opportunity to borrow your pet while you're away! A pet that sees me as confident will be a pet with less anxiety and concern in your absence. Be assured that your pet will be treated in the same manner and on the same schedule you have set in your home.
“Morgan was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our house to watch our senior dogs, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. She sent regular updates that kept us completely at ease. Our dogs felt so comfortable with her that they even went on walks, which they rarely do for anyone else! We will definitely be using her again and couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Kylie was absolutely amazing with my dogs, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She surely made sure my dogs were happy and well cared for. It’s obvious that Kylie genuinely loves what she does. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to my dogs’ needs, and they warmed up to her right away. My dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable in her care - which says everything. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and truly great with dogs, Kylie is the one. I would absolutely trust her again without hesitation!”
“This was our second time booking with Destiny, and she was as terrific this time around. We have older dogs who need a lot of care and TLC. They love Destiny and she takes amazing care of them. She is also just a thoughtful, considerate presence in our house and we love knowing she's taking care of the dogs while we're out of town. Can't wait to connect with her again soon, and highly recommend her services!”
“Michaela was so helpful to our family! She sent so many wonderful pictures of our pets and took great care of them and our home. It was easy getting in touch with her and she was just incredibly kind. Even taught our puppy a new trick !”
“Jill is always incredible to work with. Cannot recommend her enough. Our power went out during Jill’s visit — she owned the situation and made sure our dog was taken care of while we were away. Thank you so much Jill!”
“Bernice was the perfect dog sitter! Our foster is extremely fearful of strangers so I was very anxious to leave him on a trip, but he warmed up to her so quickly! She spent lots of quality time with the boys and sent frequent updates with photos and videos.”
“Absolutely wonderful. You could not ask for a better person to care for your pets! We have a challenging senior dog with many issues — including separation anxiety & poor eyesight & the need to wear a belly band — Bria handled them all with loving care! Excellent communication! She went above & beyond to make sure our dog (and cat!) were happy, healthy, and comfortable. She’s simply the best.”
“Anne was great with our pup Alex and our 2 cats! Very attentive and considerate. Updated us with photos through out our vacation/honeymoon. Left us a card and thoughtful gift congratulating us on our wedding which was very nice to return to. Would highly recommend her house sitting and watching our pup again!”
“Nathaly house-sat for us for 11 days watching our two dogs and did an amazing job. While we were gone we had a leaky pipe and other housework that came up, and Nathaly coordinated seamlessly with our landlord and made sure everything was taken care of properly.”
“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!”

We have booked in house stays for our two pups with Jere on several occasions. Jere does an incredible job making sure our dogs are happy and cared for. Jere took great care of our home. We never have to worry when we book with Jere, and would highly recommend her service.
Brandy was absolutely fantastic. She housesat for us for 5 days and communicated the entire time, we could tell our dog absolutely loved her and felt right at home with her here. She left the house immaculate and we are so grateful for everything she did. I couldn’t recommend someone more!
Wilhemina was super nice and communicative, extremely professional this was my first time leaving my dogs with her and you can tell they were well taken care of, she kept me updated on their day to day and as well when anything involving the dogs would happen, she left the space clean after she left and followed all my rules to a T! Will for sure use her services again!
Alejandra is amazing! She took such great care of our dogs, Leo and Wrigley, while we were on vacation. She sent us lots of photos and videos throughout the day, was always quick to respond, and was incredibly patient—especially with our dog Leo, who struggles with anxiety. They absolutely adored her! She is kind, sweet, responsible, and truly goes above and beyond. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. 🐾💛
Taylor is an incredible sitter. We had so much anxiety leaving our fur babies. Our dog was injured at the time which added to the stress of finding someone capable. Taylor handled everything with unbelievable care and communication. I am so impressed with her attention to detail and her ability to understand animals needs. We were able to actually relax while we were gone knowing our animals felt loved and cared for. I could shout praises for Taylor. Please don’t hesitate to have her as a pet sitter. I couldn’t imagine anyone better. She was able to give meds and assist our injured grumpy dog. Her updates were extremely detailed. I could go on and on. She will forever be our go to when we need care. Thank you Taylor!
I can’t recommend Kristy highly enough as a dog sitter. She took wonderful care of our dogs, Cody and Joanie, while we were away, and it was clear from the moment we got home how much care and attention she put in. She was incredibly proactive with communication, sending morning and evening updates without ever being asked. She also went above and beyond around the house; cleaning up and taking out the bins on her own, and leaving everything in even better shape than when she arrived. She was especially great with our nervous rescue, handling her with patience and gentleness that really put us at ease. If you’re looking for a dog sitter who treats your pets like family, Kristy is it. Highly recommended!
Kasyn was absolutely amazing. One of our cats is kind of shy but he warmed up to her quickly. Our cats are restricted to wet food only for dietary reasons so they have to be fed multiple times a day. Their dishes were always clean (better than I usually keep them 😀). She took excellent care of them and the house and went above and beyond by taking out the trash and washing the bedding before she left. We got tons of updates and pictures and our cats were so much happier and content when we got back from this vacation. We will definitely be having her house/cat sit in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jollyville on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,505 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jollyville. 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 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 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.
