“Salem took great care of our girls! We got regular updates and photos. Noodle and Potato were in great hands and we will definitely be asking her to look after them again.”
“Hayley house sat for my pets for 5 days. I have four pets, one being a 5 month old GSD/Malinois puppy and Hayley did wonderfully. I got photo updates every meal time and little tidbits of their day and funny things they’d do. I know they all got one on one time, which I really appreciate as well. She took care of them like they were her own and she really took all of their little quirks/tricks/mealtimes in and followed them accordingly! I have a pretty shy cat that warmed up to Hayley within a day, which is rather impressive! She left our house clean and made sure all of our babies had water. Tina and Kai (our dogs) were tuckered out too (which is amazing). Overall 11/10 and will be rebooking if I go out of town again. All of my animals were rather happy and well taken care of!”
“A++++! Perfect house and dog sitter for a long weekend. Great communicator! We always knew how things were going while we were out of the country. Went above and beyond to get comfortable with our dog and make our dog comfortable.”
“Kelsey did an INCREDIBLE job looking after my sweet Essie Mae. Her communication was excellent with lots of texts, pics and updates. It was very obvious, especially from ome of the pics, that Essie truly connected with Kelsey and loved having her as her care taker. We'll definitely use Kelsey again!”
“Kim was great with our babies! She is responsible and did everything we asked plus more. Our dog and cat loved her and I know they were very well takin care of. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”
“Rosa did an amazing jobs taking care of my girls when I reached out with a last minute request for an overnight stay. She was prompt, communicative, and I could tell the dogs were very well taken care of as well as my home. She provided plenty of updates and followed, feeding and medication instructions with attention to detail. Thank you so much for your help Rosa! The girls and I will talk to you again soon!”
“Brittney was the absolute best! I used her for house sitting, and I can’t say enough good things. Super attentive and responsive, sent me a ton of amazing pics, and cared for my house and animals like they were her own! She left my place spotless and my dog and cat loved her. Will be using again for sure!”
“Meredith did a fantastic job taking care of our two kitties while we were on vacation. Especially since one of them is older, needs to take medicine he hates, and can be a fussy eater. Meredith patiently figured out just what to do to keep him healthy, and we returned to both of them in good shape!”
“Excellent pet and house sitter! If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would! Completely satisfied and look forward to employing this sitter again! Communication was amazing, texted updates once per day on our pet! House care amazing, even offered to water my plants — so appreciated! Our cat could not have been happier or more cared for!”
“Cameron was amazing. My dog is very nervous and doesn't open up to anyone new, not even sitters I've had for years. As is her usual, I told Cameron she likely wouldn't even come out of her crate for him, but I got pictures of her playing tug, getting belly rubs, and lying by his side. I was astonished. Cameron checked in regularly and sent tons of pictures and videos. Highly recommended.”
“Brooke is great with both my senior dog and my puppy. What started as a 3 night house sitting while on a business trip, turned into 10 days due to passing of my father. Brooke calmly said she had it covered for me on the home front and not to worry. This allowed me to fully focus on my family during a horrible and stressful time. Brooke is a great responsible and kind person! I will for sure use her for my fur babies in the future.”
“Kathleen was great with Blair! She took so much time at each visit to play with her and give her the attention she needed! I’ve already scheduled her for future visits!”
“Courtney was amazing! She kept me informed daily on Gatsby and my birds with messages and photos. I came home to a happy and tired dog and a sparkling clean apt. Found my go to sitter!”
“Nick was an incredible sitter! I was nervous, as this was my first time leaving my dog with someone who wasn't a friend or family, and Nick did a wonderful job keeping in communication with me about how things were going. He also went above and beyond to keep my dog on her regular schedule, which made the transition seamless.”
“Sis was absolutely phenomenal. We left the dogs for 2 weeks and she made me feel at ease the whole time! She was amazing at communicating and really appreciate her clear communication style. She cared for them like her own! She truly got to know them and love them. When we returned our house was cleaner than we left and the dogs were happy and calm!”
“My 3 Goldens had a great stay in the comfort of their own home with sitter Hayli and her sweet pup, Ivy 🥰. Hayli is very communicative and sent plenty of updates with photos and videos. They were definitely in great hands with her, which allowed me to enjoy my time away & not worry constantly about my fur babies. Thank you, Hayli!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Joyland
Cameron is a gem and honestly we’ve never had a sitter care for our old lady like he did. He kept up updated with pictures and constant communication over the weekend with how she was doing. Our dog is elderly and has some sleep issues and he was just so patient and kind with her needs. We truly appreciated him and knew she was in good and safe hands. He’s our go to person now!
Wonderful service. We used her before and were impressed with the quality of her care for our two small doggies. She kept us updated with pictures, the house was spotless when we returned, and the dogs were well taken care of. This is the same as last time she dog sat our two dogs. We were impressed that the two dogs recognized her when she first arrived and were excited to see her. We will always try to get her services first.
Sarah was an amazing pet sitter for my pups! She took care of them while I was out of town for over a week. She sent me photos and updates on them everyday, which I really appreciated, and went above and beyond taking care of the house as well! Sarah was also very attentive to my older dog who sometimes has stomach issues. I’ll definitely be rebooking soon, and recommend her to anyone!
Corey did well with my crew on an extended trip, also took care of the house, even when asked to do a few extra things. Everyone was happy when I got home. Would have liked more detailed updates such as how they were eating or doing, and he went a little rogue on treats that I didn’t want them to have, but overall everyone was happy when I returned.
Alex did a fantastic job taking care of our two kitties - especially because one of them is elderly and had a health emergency the day before we left. Undaunted, she gave him two kinds of medicine daily and treated both of them with loving kindness. Sent great photos every day. We would not hesitate to trust her with care of our home and pets again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Joyland on Rover is $49.95 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 2,941 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Joyland. 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 Joyland 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 Joyland 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 Joyland 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.
