“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! 🐾”
“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.”
“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.”
“We hired Lauren last minute, and she did a great job handling our 4 large dogs. She was very communicative and sent pictures throughout our vacation and left the house cleaner than when we left.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Geoff did an amazing job taking care of both of our pit bull mix dogs. He was able to get them to like him and trust in him within minutes and gives multiple updates daily. Our dogs love him! We will definitely choose Geoff again!”
“Rachel did an incredible job house-sitting for an entire week for my crew. Needless to say, I was a nervous cat/dog mom as this was my first time traveling with all 3 (2 cattle dogs and a crazy kitten) at home. Rachel not only did a super helpful meet and greet to walk through all details prior to my trip, but she did an excellent job following my endless instructions to the T. Rachel handled many unexpected problems wonderfully (e.g. an unexpected thunderstorm and my nervous dog, or my crazy kitten bringing lizards into the house). She also made sure to communicate daily with lots of updates and photos! I was SO nervous leaving my crew behind, as I felt it would be "too much" but Rachel handled it perfectly, and did it with a smile on her face! Super grateful for her help and willingness to dive in for an entire week-long house stay! Thanks Rachel! 100% I will be using her again :)”
“I’d rather gatekeep Tobias, but he’s just too incredible- I couldn’t be happier with his service. I’ve had some really bad experiences with Rover, but Toby assuaged all my fears. Responsive, played with my dog (not just walk), followed all my niche instructions, and left the house cleaner than how I left it. Will 100% book again.”
“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!”
“Davida was wonderful with Daizy and Lenni! She was attentive, communicative, and kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to two very calm, happy, and content pups, and it was obvious they had been well loved and cared for while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found someone we feel comfortable trusting with our babies and our home. We would absolutely book with Davida again!”
“Carmen was excellent. So friendly and communicative, I knew my dog and cat were in such great hands. Would definitely recommend Carmen to take good care of your pets!”
“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 !”
“This was my first time using Rover and Whitney put all my concerns at ease immediately during our meet and greet. Our pup Stella is almost 14yrs and her sister pup Roxy recently passed, so it was extra important to ensure she was well cared for as we traveled. Whitney did a great job and Stella took to her right away. Thankful we got to travel worry free!”
“Kylie is so sweet. My cats responded differently to me when I came home, so I know they had a good time with her. She communicated on my door cam when she was leaving. Would definitely recommend.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Jollyville is $50

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.
Kaitlan took great care of our dog Cooper! She was very communicative and followed all of our care instructions. Before leaving, she even tidied up the house for us without being asked to do so. I would recommend her and plan to have her watch cooper again in the future!
Whitney did a wonderful attentive job taking care of my home and baby girl while I was away for the weekend. She communicated with me on a regular basis and sent plenty of photo updates. I will be requesting her services again to house and dog sit in the future.
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! :)
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!

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.
<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 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.
