“We just recently used Jeffrey to take care of our Australian Labradoodle puppy (10 months old) for an overnight stay to make sure she and Jeffrey got along fine. Turns out nothing to worry about since he was kind and caring towards her and she would take walks with him! Change in her behavior since our other dog walker we use occasionally she would not budge from the driveway. All in all, great experience and we are using him again in July. We highly recommend him!”

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve provided loving, dependable care for cats, dogs, and birds through overnight stays, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. Cats are my specialty! I’m very experienced with feline behavior, shy cats and multi-cat households. I love making pets feel calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and routines, including daily walks, companionship, and overnight care. In addition, I have hands on experience with tropical birds and understand the importance of patience, consistency and attention to detail when caring for exotic pets. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every animal! I take my time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I am reliable, communicative, and committed to making pet parents feel confident while they’re away through regular updates and attentive care. I am currently a part-time worker at a local pharmacy and a Full-Time college student looking to make extra money while doing what I love. I am free at least 3-4 days a week, the more notice the better I can work around your preferred schedule. My preference is afternoons, however if mornings or nights are needed I can accommodate! I am more free during week days but can make time on weekends around my work schedule as I typically only work 5-6 hour shifts. I currently can not offer my personal living quarters for care, however I am able to travel up to 40 miles to stay with or check on pets. If you are in need of someone urgently and live outside a 40 mile radius please message me directly and I may be able to still work with you! I will walk, feed, stay with, play with and care for various cats and dog breeds! I also have experience with tropical birds and fish if need be. I will clean up after all animals and leave your home tidy and neat, as well as provide updates at your desired time span i.e (Daily, Hourly, Etc.).

“Philip and Mallory are very friendly and easy to talk to, and took excellent care of my pup at my house. I got so many pictures and updates and I never had to worry my pup wasn’t being taken care of. My house was also in perfect condition when I returned, and they even washed the used bed sheets and towels. I will definitely use them in the future and you should too!”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I bring not just a love for dogs, but a deep understanding of their needs at every stage of life. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need play, structure, and basic training, as well as senior dogs who require patience, medication, and gentle handling. I’m calm, responsible, and detail-oriented, always making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also pay close attention to each pup’s unique personality and routine, so your dog feels right at home—even when you’re away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I structure my day to prioritize walks, feeding times, play sessions, and any special care each dog might need. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits or overnight stays, I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, love, and activity throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present and responsive to each dog’s needs, making sure they stay happy, healthy, and well-cared for at all times. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medications, or favorite toys and routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, play, and love while keeping their space clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is in good hands.

Virginia especially enjoys building relationships with dogs and learning their routines, preferences, and personalities. Expect plenty of updates, affection, walks, playtime, and snuggles. She’s experienced with everything from energetic critters who love activity to seniors who simply want companionship and consistency. Your pet will be treated like family while you’re away. I work in schools, with summers off and a flexible schedule. I live in East Charlotte and can work with you to create a schedule for the day that works for you and your critters. I can adhere to the safety precautions you have established in your home. I know how important it is to keep a safe, reliable routine.

“Alisa took amazing care of Blue and Todd over a long weekend! There were a lot of thunder storms, which is hard for our dog (he hates to go out in rain and is afraid of thunder) and she managed it all so well! She shared so many updates - pictures and videos - and we felt so at ease knowing that our boys were well cared for. She also left our home super clean. We highly recommend Alisa!!”

About: I’m a certified Physician Assistant and lifelong animal lover, and I’m excited to spend some extra time caring for your pets while I try to secure my first job as a PA! I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. My family had a cat who we brought home when I was 2 years old and who was part of my family until I was in college. We also had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and during college I had a Siamese kitten that I shared with my roommates. More recently, I’ve enjoyed dog sitting (& house sitting) with my sister’s Golden Retriever and my best friend’s dog frequently while I was in school. I also watched my friend's kitten over the last year. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m mainly busy with tasks at home each day while I work toward finding my first job as a PA. Right now, I have very open availability and would love the opportunity to care for your pets while getting a change of scenery and relocating my workspace! I currently plan to provide care in my clients’ homes rather than boarding pets in my own home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, exercise, and crate use. I’m attentive to keeping pets safe and comfortable, and I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure. I’ll also treat your home with care and respect while you’re away.

“Anna was wonderful. We just moved and needed a short notice sitter. She worked with me on logistics and kept our three dogs healthy and happy for a few days while we were gone. She updated us with pictures every day and kept me posted on how the dogs were doing and behaving. I am so glad that we found a great sitter so soon!”

About: I'm a pet owner practically my whole life. I've been walking dogs since I was a teenager for my neighbors. I have experience with dogs weighing less than a few pounds and dogs weighing more than 100 pounds. And I have to say I love every single one of them! I’ve also grown up my whole life with cats and currently have 2 of my own that are my whole life. I work from home at the moment and can dedicate full time attention to your pets, as well as keeping my cats in a separate room if need be. I look foward to meeting both you and your furry baby. I currently work full time from home! This allows me full access and care to your pets at all time. I rarely leave the house to begin with and usually like to take the dogs if I can! I live in a gated community with a small fenced in patio, but I live in an area with lots of outdoor space and a dog park near by! For my cat parents, my apartment is very quiet and my own personal cats are friendly to other cats but can be put away in another room as needed!

FAQs for House Sitting - Olive Branch

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Olive Branch is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $38 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,146 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Olive Branch. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
