“Second time using Kaitlan, and she’s the best! She takes such great care of our pups, and her communication is always excellent. We feel so comfortable knowing they are in good hands. Highly recommend Kaitlan! 🐾”
“Geoffrey house-sat for us while we were on a short family trip, and knowing he was home caring for our furbabies really helped put our minds at ease! He was very communicative, and treated our animals like they were his own. We loved receiving pictures and updates on how they were doing, and seeing them enjoying themselves with their new buddy! We appreciated how much he cared for and respected our home, and felt very comfortable with him here. We would DEFINITELY book him again!”
“Rachel was great! Very communicative and sent the best photos. It was clear our dog loved her from the moment he met her. She is clearly an animal person, she was so understanding and professional, made our trip very stress free. We’d definitely have her back to sit 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 fantastic with my dogs who are not always great with strangers. My dogs fell in love with her on their first meeting. I felt so comfortable being away for a few days. She sent multiple updates throughout the day with lots of pics. I hope she will come back when I need her.”
About: I’ve always loved animals. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve cared for dogs and cats ranging from six months to 15 years old. I treat every pet like family and understand that each has its own unique needs. I work part time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accomodate a variety of pet care needs. I’m available for drop in visits, boarding and lots of love and attention for your pets. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with several large grassy areas that are perfect for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I also have a very friendly, playful dog who loves having a buddy around.
“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.”
“I've never left my 4.5 yr old Basset with anyone other than family... so I was like a new mom on her first night out without her baby when I left Mr Potter to attend a special event with my whole family. Enter Jeré to my circle and to the rescue! She came for a Meet & Greet to meet her and for Mr Potter to get her scent to remember her later. She was just the right person! Sweet, encouraging & reassuring. I hired her for the event night... 7 hours. She sent me photos & "Pupdates" as helped me relax and feel confident so I could enjoy the event. I will use her services AGAIN for certain! Thanks, Jeré, for helping me cut those apron strings.”
“Marisa is the best! She came and sat with our dogs during our wedding with pretty short notice. She gave them lots of love, took them outside lots, and even left us a few Polaroids :) we can’t wait to have her back to hang out with the dogs again soon!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we booked Micaela based on her glowing reviews. She was fantastic! She sent us lots of pictures of our dogs every day. Before she watched them, she came over for a meet and greet and asked lots of great questions to ensure that she understood all of their little personality quirks and routines. She was friendly, respectful, and responsive. Our dogs loved her!”
“Cassidy was an absolute lifesaver! Our sweet Emma came down with a bad stomach bug, and we had to book care with only about 3 hours’ notice. Cassidy not only accepted the last-minute request but showed up right on time, ready to help before we had to head out to a concert. She took wonderful care of Emma while we were gone and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. Thank you, Cassidy 🐾”
“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!”
“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!”
About: After losing our beloved senior pup at 16, we discovered how much we loved taking care of friends and family's dogs! Since then we have adopted Penny who gets along fabulously with other dogs, male or female. I'm looking forward to spending time with your dog! We treat all our fur guests as if they were our own. I like to walk twice a day, in the morning and evening. I’m home most of the day and so is my husband so one of us is around and available to care for anything your pup needs. Walk 2Xday always on leash. Usually feed 2Xday. We can let them out to the backyard as needed. Always have fresh water indoors and in the backyard.
“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!”
“This is the first time w had Briana for our dog Heidi. Briana was wonderful. She was punctual as well as flexible with coordinating what we needed. Heidi immediately responded positively to Briana. We will definitely use Briana again and highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“Erica was amazing! She came over twice before our trip to meet the doggos. She took such good care of our fur-babies. She sent us pictures and communicated with us at least once a day while we were gone. I highly recommend Erica! You won’t be sorry!!”

I had a great experience with Kaitlan! She stayed overnight at my home for almost a week. She took wonderful care of my babies and updated me daily with photos. She was always on time, clean, flexible and went above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book her again.
Simply the best dog sitter we have ever had. She sent a few pics everyday and a few videos as well. She is trustworthy, courteous, clean, friendly, smart.. my pup loved her. Unless she’s busy I won’t use anyone else. If I had 10 stars she would get every one.
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! While I was away for the weekend, she took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She was attentive, loving, reliable, and kept me updated while I was gone. I could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of when I got back. I’m so grateful and would absolutely trust her with my dog again! ❤️
Taylor was great with our dogs and I would absolutely use her again. She was communicative and patient, even when we ran into some behavioral issues with one of our pups. We received lots of pics and updates each day, which we really appreciated! Thanks again Taylor! :)
Geoffrey is AMAZING! Let me start with that. From the time he met the pups and me I could tell that they loved him and it was gonna be a good overall experience. He kept me in the loop of things going on and gave me updates and really helped me with the last-minute situation. I can’t wait to use him again and I came home to super chill and happy pups. Thank you Geoff!!!! Aka the doggy whisperer
Tobias was absolutely amazing with Blué! From the beginning, he was extremely attentive and made sure to follow all of our instructions carefully. He kept us updated throughout the day, every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Blué was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. He was also incredibly respectful of our home and kept everything clean and organized while we were away. Tobias truly went above and beyond what we asked of him, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about Blué and making sure everything was handled properly. We came home to a happy pup and a clean home — we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely trust Tobias to watch Blué again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter! 🐾💙
Kyle is simply AMAZING!! He is so wonderful with my large pack of fur babies. ♥️🐾 He’s got great attention to detail, asks questions that I’d never even think to leave for sitters… he goes above and beyond and all of my babies (even the mean antisocial one) love him!! 🙌🏼 I can’t recommend Kyle enough!! He’s the best sitter I could have ever asked for!! I will definitely be booking with Kyle again in the future!! 🤗🥰
Morgan was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and communicative while watching our dog Murray. I appreciated that she took notes on her phone during the meet and greet and sent daily photos and updates throughout her stay. We came home to an incredibly clean home and a well cared for pup!
This was the first time Briana housesat for me, and she was great. From the meet and greet alone, I could tell she would do a great job taking care of my pets. She was friendly and really communicative and I felt confident that my animals were being well cared for. I came home to 3 happy animals. Thanks, Briana!
Lauren was fantastic! We had a great experience with her staying a week at our home. She took such good care of our dogs, cat and plants. Lauren was super reliable and easy to communicate with. We felt totally comfortable leaving and will definitely use her again!
Chase was perfect in every way! Our dog was well cared for and we were quite at ease with her communication throughout our stay away from home. Loved having someone trustworthy to come stay here, so our dog didn’t have to adapt to another person’s surroundings. I would give her ten stars, if possible!
Yuqing did an AMAZING job dog sitting in our home. She took great care of our dogs, treated them like they were part of her family. She gave updates daily, made sure they were walked and fed. We came home to a clean house and two very happy pups. She is the best dog sitter that we have used and would definitely book 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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Jollyville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jollyville on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,554 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.
