“Madison is amazing and I highly recommend her! My frenchie and heeler absolutely love her. Madison was very attentive to their needs, kept me updated with daily text and photos, and was the first sitter to care for the frenchie’s sensitive ears in the proper manner so that I didn’t return home to a major ear infection. Madison also accommodated my last minute schedule change when my job extended my trip! I will definitely keep in touch with her and she’s my go to!”
“Sean was wonderful! He genuinely cares about animals, sent thoughtful updates throughout, and followed every instruction perfectly. I came home to a happy, relaxed pet. Highly recommend, and will absolutely book again!”
About: I love to play with dogs of all sizes. I have had multiple different breeds over the past 20 years. I am punctual and extremely dedicated I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I am available for walks and drop in visits I have two pups of my own who are very playful and can be excellent company for your pup, or I can give them 1 on 1 attention if that’s what they prefer
“Lyndsay was an excellent petsitter for my two dogs this past weekend. She took wonderful care of them and kept me updated the entire time with regular messages and photos so I knew exactly how they were doing. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Kayla did a great job with my doggies. She is kind, responsible and trustworthy and my doggies and I love her! I cannot thank her enough. She is my to go person for my doggies and my house! I recommend her 100.%.”
“Savanah has watch our dogs many times now. She is always caring and attentive to our dog’s needs. We highly recommend her without reservation to anyone that needs dog sitting.”

“Meredith is such a great sitter. Our 4 boys loved her. You can tell she really loves dogs and goes above and beyond for her clients! We will definitely rebook!”
“Kyler and Hannah were amazing in home sitters for our 3 dogs and 2 cats while we went out of town! We received lots of picture updates while away and any concerns we had were addressed promptly by Hannah and Kyler! Our pets loved them and it gave us peace of mind while across the country. We will definitely be booking with Hannah and Kyler again!”
“Amy is the best! We had a great feeling about Amy at our meet & greet and we booked her almost immediately to take care of our pups for a week. She was very thorough before her stay in learning about our dogs as well as our home. She sent daily updates and pics so we were never worried or concerned. Our house looked exactly the same when we returned. She even changed our sheets for us which was an unexpected surprise! We will use Amy again and again!!!”
“Mikayla was very professional and able to watch the animals last minute. I’m not sure if the expectations were unclear, but she arrived late for the house sitting and then the only updates I received were a few blurry pictures for the weekend of my 2 dogs and cat. When I asked how they were doing she said they were doing good…as a pet sitter myself and the fact that I emphasized that I wanted updates, I hoped that she would have told me when my dog didn’t eat and updates on everyone. Fix that and I’d give her 5 stars!”
About: One of the most important things I’ve learned in my career as a K9 Handler is that every dog is an individual. I have extensive experience adapting my handling style to meet a dog exactly where they are: Whether your dog is a high-octane athlete or a mellow companion, I tailor my energy to theirs. My goal is to ensure they return to you happy, and—most importantly—safe. My routine is built around structure, reliability, and an active lifestyle that perfectly complements high quality pet care.This means your dog gets a consistent schedule for feedings, walks, and potty breaks, which is essential for their comfort and anxiety reduction Because of my background as a K9 Handler, I don't "turn off" my awareness of dog behavior. Every walk or play session in my weekly routine is an opportunity for subtle reinforcement of good manners and engagement. I stood watch for our nation. Now, I’m standing watch for your four-legged family members. You can trust that the same integrity, attention to detail, and 'mission-first' mindset I gave to the Corps is exactly what I will provide for your dog."
About: We both work from home and are readily available to be with your pets the vast majority of the day. Their time here is spent interacting with us and being treated like family pets. Our children are grown so we have plenty of time and energy to devote to the pups. Their happiness, health, and safety are top priority. Dogs that are guests in our home are surrounded by love and companionship while their humans are away. We have experience with seniors, puppies, and many health issues including allergies, injections, and seizures. We have a fenced in back yard and a dog friendly vehicle for trips to get a puppuccino or the dog park. Working from home honestly opened up the door for me to provide pet care in my home. They spend the vast majority of the time they are here with me instead of being kenneled or left alone. I offer tons of supervised play in the backyard, relaxing belly rubs, and your dog may even join me on work related video calls from time to time. We truly lead a dog inclusive lifestyle. In our home we offer a very family oriented care. Safety is huge and we do everything we can to ensure a safe environment for our guests. We understand you will likely worry about your pup while away so we also provide regular pictures and updates during their stay.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since i was a kid. At about 10 years old and I knew I wanted to do that for a living. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups or kitty’s. I have an open and flexible schedule. I only care for pets by what's best for the animal in any home. Pets in my home or my clients shall be taking care of with love and respect as if they were my own.
“Dimecia was wonderful with my girl Darcy! She came for a meet and greet before even on a last minute request! She sent pictures of her visit and updated me about my girl. She spent time snuggling and giving belly rubs in the evening just like my baby loves! I could tell Dracy felt the love and made a friend for life! I will definitely be using Dimecia again in the future .”
“Brooke was phenomenal! She and our skittish little dog, Bingo, hit it off right away during a "meet & greet". She took great care of Bingo, sending us pictures & updates on a regular basis. we were able to fully enjoy our 10 day trip, knowing our home and fur baby were in such good hands. We will definitely want Brooke back the next time we leave town.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Olive Branch on Rover is $31.64 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 482 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Olive Branch. 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 Olive Branch 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 Olive Branch 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 Olive Branch 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Olive Branch. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
