“Kyla is truly the best! She has been watching my dog since she was 3 and I never have to worry about how she’s doing when I’m gone. Kyla really goes out of her way to make her feel comfortable and happy while i am gone. 10/10 high recommend!”
“Sandy was AMAZING! She kept us updated with photos and videos of Hank's activities. She took him out on various adventures so he could live his best pup life. Sandy really showed she cared for our little fur-baby while we were away. When we got back home, Hank didn't even want Sandy to leave! Great sitter!”
“I hesitate leaving a review, not because Nelson wasn't terrific because he was. The reason being that the review may convince others to book Nelson and then I'll have more competition for his time. Nelson told me that dogs love him. Well, I can confirm that. When we returned from a 3-day trip, our dogs met us with wagging tails and some excitement. However, previously, I had to be careful coming into our home because they might knock me down welcoming us home. This time they kept looking behind us waiting for Nelson to appear. That was a bit humbling. Nelson's college schedule worked for us. He was free on the weekends and was able to stay with our 3 dogs for long periods of the day. He sent a multitude of photos, mostly with our dogs cuddling up with him. If he had a question, he would text me, which I loved. We became modern pen pals. One of our dogs was bothering a frog in our yard one day and Nelson noticed foam coming out of her mouth. So, he searched the internet and found out what to do and he did it and the dog was fine. When it was time for him to leave, he cleaned up everything so that I didn't have to. It was great. I no longer have any qualms about leaving our dogs. Nelson took away all my stress.”
“Lanette took wonderful care of my two pups! She was very accommodating- One of our dogs is very protective of me and doesn't get along with new people for a while, but Lanette did come over a few times before the stay to help get him more comfortable with her. During the stay our protective little pup came out of his shell, fell in love, and wouldn't leave her alone! She was very patient with him and that was exactly what he needed! We got lots of pictures and videos, which was very comforting for my boyfriend and I. We highly recommend Lanette!”
“Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!”
“Jeanette took great care of our two puppies and our cat! She went above and beyond and we know our pets were in great hands. We would definitely have Jeanette back if we need a petsitter again!”
“Monika house-sat for our Husky, Pitbull and our cat for 17 nights while we were overseas, and she was outstanding. Daily photo updates without us asking, consistent cleaning and feeding schedules, and all animals were calm and healthy when we got home — which says everything after two-plus weeks. Zero worries the entire trip, and for an international trip that peace of mind is worth more than the booking fee. We'll rebook her without hesitation.”
About: I grew up on a ranch here in Texas with many different dog breeds of all ages. I have plenty of experience and I’m comfortable with any breed! I’m stay at home mother with 2 little girls who are 3 and 1. We love pets but don't have any of our own. We go outside for walks through the day frequently and enjoy giving pets plenty of attention. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to care for pets. I live in an apartment complex with a fenced dog area, so dogs can safely get outside, play, and get some exercise. I’d make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, and lots of love while they’re in my care.
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have been caring for animals my entire life. My family dog, Misty, is 14 years old, and I've cared for her since she was a puppy. Over the years, I trained her, took her on daily walks, fed her, and cared for her through every stage of her life. Caring for Misty for the past 14 years has given me firsthand experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs. As Misty has gotten older, she was diagnosed with AIHA (Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia), which has required careful medication management, close monitoring, and a specialized diet. Through this experience, I've become comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed care routines, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention.I truly understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves patience, love, and dependable care. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll treat them with the same level of care and affection that I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in caring hands while you're away. I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday, but I have a one-hour lunch break that allows me to return home for drop-in visits, walks, potty breaks, feeding, medication administration (if needed), and quality time with your pet. From Friday through Sunday, I have a much more flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide attentive care based on your pet's individual needs. Whether it's walks, playtime and mental stimulation, feeding, medication, or simply lots of love and companionship, I'll make sure your pet feels safe and well cared for. I am also available for boarding Friday through Sunday. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding, and I tailor my care to each pet's routine and individual needs. During drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. If needed, I can also administer medications and provide updates with photos so you have peace of mind. For house sitting, I strive to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible by caring for them in the comfort of their own home. I'll follow your instructions closely, provide companionship, walks, feeding, medication (if needed), and keep your home clean and secure while you're away. For boarding, your pet will stay in a safe, clean, and loving home where they'll receive lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and supervised care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always keep you updated throughout their stay with photos and messages so you can feel confident they're in good hands.
About: Growing up in the country, I cared for pets and farm animals. My experience and love for all creatures began there! Interacting with them has always been the highlight of my day. From cats, dogs, small animals, aquatic life and reptiles, to horses, dairy goats, birds, pigs and chickens, I have you covered! I've owned most, and cared for the rest. No matter what, I keep critters close! As a child was rarely seen without an animal or flock in tow. I raised pigs, chickens, dove, rabbits. As well as trained dogs and horses. Later on In Edna, I was a ranch hand on a small dairy farm. Now living in the city, I care mostly for cats and dogs, but I still love them all! I wouldn't imagine my life any other way! I have a very open and movable schedule. I can pretty much work with anything. The safety and care of your pup is always at the top of my list. I have a fenced yard with a large shaded area. Indoor and crate training is also great. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe.
“Tuongvi and her Boyfriend were available at the last minute for an out of state trip after another sitter fell through. Despite the stress that caused, I am so relieved it happened. I will absolutely be scheduling future overnights with them. My Boxer-Pit mix has separation anxiety and is dog/animal reactive. I have only left her overnight one other time so needless to say I was nervous about a long weekend away from her. Tuongvi was responsive and communicative from the minute I reached out about booking. She came over prior to the trip so I could show them my space and familiarize them and my dog. During my trip, I received regular pictures and updates. It was abundantly clear my dog was well cared for and loved.”
“Mona went above and beyond watching our pup Luna! She made sure to keep me updated and Luna busy! She is a very sweet and thoughtful person. Mona will be our trusted caregiver for Luna when we need a sitter! Thanks again!”
About: I’m a caring and dependable dog lover with 5 years of pet-care experience. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they stay on their normal routine. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while your fur baby is in my care. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, or simply some extra companionship, I’d love to help! 🐶💜 I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending my free time caring for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my work schedule, with additional availability on evenings and weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific scheduling needs with each pet parent. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and cared for. I always follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, medication needs, and house rules. I also make sure doors, gates, and outdoor areas are secure and supervise pets closely. I’m happy to keep pets separated from my own dog when needed.
About: Hey there, hope your day is going well!! Your dog/pup will be in great hands as we take a walk session either it be an adventure, workout, or just a nice easy pace around the neighborhood. I can feed, bathe, grind nails, and get your dog, “dog gone tired” that way they can come home and relax with you! Rather it be from a long day at work, an out of town business trip, or even a quick vacation you will not need to worry about your loved one. I have been around pups all my life and i love them, as they are truly “Mans best friend”. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you while you are away from your fur babies and don’t hesitate to ask questions! I’m usually off from work 2 to 3 weeks at a time. So I will be home all day with the puppers and give them my full attention. The property is fenced in and the lakes and trails are up kept. Plenty of running space indoor and outdoor! Baths for the pups that love to swim in lake!
“Deji is so friendly and sweet! My dogs took to him right away, so I felt really good about leaving them in Deji’s care. Deji asked questions to ensure a mutual understanding of the instructions. I will be rebooking with Deji in the future if I need a sitter. Thanks, Deji!!”
“Jordan took good care of Chance he kept my bay for 4 days while I went out of town to take care of some important business…. He left my home just the way it was when I left . Nice guy thank you Jordan”
About: I genuinely feel immense joy around fur babies!! I’ve helped take care of a few dogs for friends and I have a cat I own and take care of at home. I have experience in walking, feeding and pet sitting. Very communicative providing updates to owners with pictures to keep them informed. 19 years of experience with cats and 2 years of experience with dogs. My schedule is pretty open! Worked for my previous company for 11+ years. Currently running a business, but my calendar on the app will be up to date. I will communicate with owners regarding availability if messages are recieved, very responsive. I listen to the owner and what the pets needs are and ensure that I am 100 percent available to the well being and care of the pet. I’m always attentive, ask any important questions and check to make sure the pet feels safe and comfortable around me.
“Ariel was fantastic! We were a little worried with one of our pups having recently gotten stitches, but it didn't impact Ariel at all. It was clear she took care of both our pups and the house. (I think our house was cleaner when we got home than it was when we left it!) Ariel was VERY respectful, communicative, and I would not hesitate to recommend! We've already rebooked her for our next trip!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,629 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orchard. 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 Orchard 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 Orchard 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Orchard 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.
