“This is our second time with Salem who did a wonderful job house sitting our 2 pups. Frequent updates, happy dogs and clean house when we returned. Will definitely ask to come back in the future!”
“Alekx has stayed with our puppy twice now and was amazing! Very patient with puppy energy. We also came home to a pup who had been taught a few new skills and Alekx even gave our pup many hand me down toys from her own dog, some of which are our pups new favorites! Our dog hasn’t been alone yet, and Alekx was great about staying with her and even took her out to a park.”
“Gianine is a wonderful dog sitter and an equally wonderful house guest. Nicco can sometimes be slow to warm up to someone new, but he bonded quickly with Gianine. She sent us pics and updates frequently while we were away. Both Nicco and the house were well 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.”
“Anna did a wonderful job looking after our two boys. She was incredibly caring and attentive, spending time playing with them and even creating new activities to keep them engaged. She consistently kept us updated on how their day was going and shared pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Anna paid close attention to all of our needs, and communication with her was always smooth and easy. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would happily recommend her to anyone.”
“Alexandra was great and sent me updates on my old man while I was away. She took the time to take him on walks and made him feel safe. Hes very anxious but he seemed to be comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend”
“Sia did an excellent job taking care of Kaylee for a week while on vacation. Was able to get in touch with her as needed. She sent a daily picture of Kaylee and any updates. Would hire her again in future outings.”
About: I have 5 cats of my own as well as a small dog, and I cherish all animals. I have been petsitting for family and friends since I was about 10, and am flexibly available to take care of your babies when you need. I'm a high-school senior about to graduate, so during the summer I will have plenty of free time to devote to taking care of your animals! I will do anything requested of me regarding caring for your pets in your home, including keeping them company, going on walks, and giving them plenty of love.
“Avery stayed with my pups while I was out of town. They can be a handful, and Avery handles them with ease! I’ve never come home to such calm dogs after a weekend away. Highly recommend!”
“Madison was fantastic with our dogs and cat! She was very professional, a great communicator, and an excellent problem solver. She took wonderful care of our buddies and was really respectful and thoughtful about staying in our home. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting/ house sitting!!”
“If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. I was super stressed about leaving our puppy here while on vacation, and she made it absolutely painless, anxiety free, and more. We received so many pictures and videos and there was constant communication. We came home to a clean house, a happy puppy, and she even helped us with puppyifying our place so she doesn’t get into things she’s not supposed to. Brittney will be our go to from now on.”
“Alexander was a terrific dogsitter for our high-energy 3-1/2 year old Black Lab. We appreciated his immediate response to our Rover request when we were called out of town on short notice. He set our minds at ease as we could see how quickly Zoey took to him. Alexander posted photos and videos for us while we were away, which was such a comfort. We will definitely plan to ask for him again!”
“Kay did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs when we were out of the country. She communicated well and kept me in the loop as to how things were going. One of my dogs is a large puppy who is still chewing up everything, and she managed him very well. I would 100% rebook with her, she did a fantastic job.”
“Meredith took amazing care of our home, cat, and chickens and ducks! She was proactive and resolved issues that came up when baby chicks were escaping from their coop. She sent us photos everyday and gave a detailed daily update so we knew how everything was going. We came home to a spotless house and very happy animals!”
“Suzanne took great care of my special needs dog, rambunctious puppy, and sweet cat while I was away for an extended period. I highly recommend her as your next sitter! She’s the best!”
“Winter was amazing and cared for all 3 of our pups. We received pictures while she was caring for them and had great communication with us. Thank you so much again for caring for our pups! I definitely recommend Winter and will likely book her again in future if she’s available.”

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!
Cameron couldn’t have taken better care of Beanie or our house! He was very responsible and communicative, sent many updates, and we came home to a clean home and happy pup. He clearly loves dogs, and went above and beyond to take good care of her. We’d book Cameron again in a heartbeat
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Joyland
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
