“Jere took care of our pups and our house over the 4th of July. This is a stressful weekend for the pups, and she made sure they were calm and safe, and felt loved. The home I came back to was clean, and just the way I left it. 10/10 would use again.”
“Kayla is amazing! My dog Buttercup loves her and her daughter. I came home and my house was spotless and clean. She took such great care of my doggie and gave her lots of love and sent lots of pics throughout my trip. Highly recommended!”
“We had a great experience with Cat! She took care of our moody husky while we travelled to our son’s wedding for an extended weekend. I was able to focus on the festivities of the event because of her helpful and reassuring texts and pictures. We recommend her and will use her again for sure!”
“Kaitlan was absolutely amazing! She sent us photos and checked in every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We had never used a dog sitter before, and she made it such a wonderful first experience. She also left our house absolutely spotless, which we appreciated so much. We truly couldn’t thank her enough for taking such great care of our home and our pups. Highly recommend!”
“Treka was wonderful. She had dog sat in our house for our puppy that is less than 6 months old. She took care of our dog like it was hers. She even trained our dog to not come Out of the playpen till she says okay come. I highly recommend hiring her for your next drop ins or dog sitting! Thank you so much Treka!!”
“Madchen, is hands down the best dog sitter I have ever had. I will be recommending her to all of my friends and family. There is nothing better than knowing your pet is in good hands when you are away from home.”
“Marina was fantastic with our crew of five cats! She was incredibly communicative throughout the sit, sending regular updates with photos that put our minds at ease every day. She gave all the kitties their regular outside cube time and even kept our fish thriving. What really stood out was how she won over our most particular cat, which is not an easy feat and speaks to her patience and genuine care. We’d trust Marina with our cats (and fish!) again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Geraldine took fabulous care of our fur baby. She kept Charley to her normal routine, sent lots of pictures, and communicated consistently and professionally throughout the week we were away. We would definitely hire Geraldine again and recommend her highly.”
“Rebecca is a wonderful sitter! My two pugs and lab looked and acted exactly the same as when I left them. They were with Rebecca in her home for four nights. I returned from my trip to three happy, healthy pups!”
“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.”
“Deleyla was so great with my dogs. She stayed at my home and took such great care of my pups. She even helped out when I had to watch my friends dog unexpectedly and pet sit for him as well. The amazing pics of your pups you’ll get are just an added bonus. ❤️”
“I highly recommend Connie. I had one Dog sitter cancel on me at the last minute, and she just jumped in, took charge and helped me out! She took wonderful care of my dog, Max. Max is a 70 pound Staffordshire terrier. As soon as she walked in the door, they connected, and he was wagging his tail. I hired her to housesit and she stayed over, brought the mail in and watered my plants.”
“Karen is the Best of the Best!!! As far as stars go in ratings, I would say there’s not enough stars high enough to rate this sweet lady. Being the first time I’ve ever been away from my pets, I was very nervous about leaving them, but the moment I met Karen during our meet and greet, I instantly felt she was someone who I knew I could trust to genuinely care for my sweet fur babies. She won their hearts over and kept me informed with texts and pictures the entire time. Could not have asked for a better sitter!”
“"We can't express how grateful we have found Jason as our dog sitter. If you're looking for a dog sitter who is not only competent and trustworthy but also genuinely passionate about dogs, I wholeheartedly recommend Jason. He provided us with peace of mind during our time away and became a true friend to our furry companions. We'll definitely be reaching out to him for all our future dog-sitting needs!"”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jonestown
Laci went above and beyond to take care of both our dogs, but especially one that needed extra, unexpected attention. The day before our trip, one of our dogs ingested some Vitamin D gel tabs. Laci was scheduled to start only 12 hours later. What was supposed to be an easy house sitting gig turned into a complex and cumbersome ordeal. We offered Laci an out, but instead, Laci enthusiastically offered to follow through despite the need to drive our dog daily for blood work and to administer a special diet and medication 3 times a day. Laci followed vet orders to the letter and never complained. I highly recommend Laci who is responsible and competent beyond their years. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jonestown on Rover is $68.26 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,543 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jonestown. 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 Jonestown 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 Jonestown 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 Jonestown 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.
